PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "RE: RIP Heath Ledger" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-23-08 AT 09:28 AM (EST)*shocked silence* Well, I'm editing because I just couldn't think when I saw this yesterday. I can't remember being this shocked by a celebrity death since Roberto Clemente's plane went down. Or this upset. I was a huge fan from the first time I ever saw him in The Patriot. I remember going to see it with XDBF and, afterward, saying that I thought the guy who played Mel's son was going to be a big star one day. He impressed me from the start. Anyone who could stand out so much in my mind while on screen with an outsized Movie Star like Mel said a lot about his acting and charisma. I've seen most of his films since because I enjoyed following his career, almost like I feel like I discovered him. He never really disappointed me, even if the material did. But I can't begin to tell you how much his performance in Brokeback Mountain moved me. As someone who is not much of a romantic, it's amazing to me how he affected me in that role. That film is on my top 3 list of the most romantic films of all time. It brings me to tears every single time I watch. And it is Ledger's performance that does it to me. He was a great actor. I know he was very young and would have gone on to even better roles. But he, to me, was one of the best actors working today. I'm completely at a loss and can hardly believe I feel this way. My deepest sympathies to his family, his friends and colleagues, and especially his beautiful young daughter. Know that I will miss him.

And now they're saying overdose was a possibility, but it's because they found pills near the bed. That's not a guilty verdict until we find out what kind of pills were involved and if they were in his system (and even then, he didn't necessarily take them). For all we know, it's Advil.

Wow. I am in shock. I remember being in complete disbelief when Aaliyah was killed in the plane crash, but a big part of that was because it was the day after dd was born and I was in a hospital with only Dutch and French channels and I couldn't be 100% certain that she had died until I could confirn it at home.How incredibly sad. I really liked Heath Ledger (not to mention how incredibly gorgeous he was) and his role in Brokeback Mountain was certainly groundbreaking. He will surely be missed by many! RIP Heath.

LAST EDITED ON 01-23-08 AT 10:58 AM (EST)I don't think he was in any films that came out in 2007; he was not an "expected" nominee, in any case. Edited -- I forgot, he was one of the Bob Dylans in "I'm Not There". Reading the obit in the Times today, he was well-liked in Brooklyn and Manhattan by neighbors and by personnel at clubs/restaurants where he used to hang out.

63. "RE: RIP Heath Ledger" |
I can't believe this. River Phoenix was one thing but Heath actually carved his place as a great actor.Whenever anyone speaks of a young one who has lost their life, there is always talk about what a rare talent that person was. River wasn't really given that chance to shine through, to prove what an exceptional artist he could have been. Heath was. And, if I may say so, Robert Downey Jr. passed through that threshold that allowed us to see what an incredible talent he was. Fortunately he got a second (third, fourth) chance. RDJ may or may not make a comeback. Heath never will.  RIP Brave Knight (Thank you Agman)

I had hundreds of VHS tapes when DVDs came out, but I resisted buying DVDs. A Knight's Tale was my first purchased DVD ... and years later, I still have and watch, that DVD. Thank you, Dan, for the pic. A brilliant actor, and by all accounts, a good man and great father. Go in peace, Heath, go in peace.

73. "RE: An interesting tribute" |
First, shock, sadness, grief. Second, I thought of you, Dan. I was waiting for DH to pick me up at work after a meeting. Had I not been at the meeting, I would have gotten the news through CNN breaking news email. Instead, my phone buzzed and it was a text message from my female kitten. She said "Heath Ledger died." I waited for the punch line. You see, it was just a couple of days ago when DH texted me and said that the Toronto Maple Leafs were going to change their name, and I was like WHAT?! That's like blasphemy! Then he texted again and said "They're changing it to 'tampon' because they're only good for one period." {{groan}} So, tonight when DD said "Heath Ledger died," I waited. Nothing. No punch line. His family read a statement from their front lawn in Australia. They are adament that this was an accident, as was his publicist. By all accounts, he had been exhausted from his turn as the Joker on the upcoming Batman -- the role had drained him and apparently had a profound affect on him. He was unable to sleep, and was taking Ambien, but it wasn't helping. He was also being treated for a recent bout of pneumonia. I have a feeling that this is going to be ruled accidental by drug interaction. He made a mistake. OMG he was so gorgeous and so humble and normal. What a loss.

Since Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale sank their teeth into the brilliant "Batman Begins", I couldn't wait for the sequel. Especially when I heard The Joker was going to be the main villian. As tragic as this story is, it's going to make that Summer Blockbuster all the more anticipated. God I can't wait for that movie!

107. "And along comes John Gibson..." |
to prove that Faux News is every bit as classy as Fred Phelps:Opening his radio show with funeral music yesterday, Fox News host John Gibson callously mocked the death of actor Heath Ledger, calling him a "weirdo" with a "serious drug problem." Playing an audio clip of the iconic quote, "I wish I knew how to quit you" from Ledger’s gay romance movie Brokeback Mountain, Gibson disdainfully quipped, "Well, he found out how to quit you." Laughing, Gibson then played another clip from Brokeback Mountain in which Ledger said, "We’re dead," followed by his own, mocking "We’re dead" before playing the clip again.

Me too.But that being said, from what I've read she thought he was just out of it from either drugs or alcohol and was doing what she thought he would want. As in no outside involvement to keep tabloid fodder down. MK probably thought so also, so she sent her security people over to contain a potential PR problem. This isn't to say the chain of events weren't stupid, just that I think celebrities are treated differently and not always in the best way. Regardless, I don't think it made a difference in Heath's case.

116. "RE: Accidental overdose" |
Yep, when you see multiple prescriptions for the same type of medication he probably was doing the several doctors that don't know what the other one is doing kind of thing.With the reported sleeping problems I would not be surprised if there was a keep taking something until I pass out routine going on. Which often isn't going to get you quality sleep, making you need something even more the next night, and so on and on. It can be really hard to judge where the tipping point of mixing stuff like that is going to be. That one more pill can have a much bigger effect than people expect. Doesn't help that a lot of those make you less able to keep track of just what you took and you may think you are taking something you think you haven't when you already have. I think most places have some sort of mechanism for catching people at the multiple doctor to get more prescriptions thing, but it might be harder if he was getting stuff from different states (or even from the UK, where I think he was filming recently). With enough money there is usually a way to get around any safeguard that gets put into place.
