Azazello1313 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 well, first and foremost, any suicide (assuming that is what we're looking at) is absolutely heartbreaking, all the more so when little ones are left behind but on a cynical, pop-cultural commentary note, it's also pretty f'n sad that we can now look forward to a guy who was a pretty mediocre actor being lionized and shoved down our throats in coming years as some sort of tortured artiste.

Chargerz Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) My daughter was friends with Michelle Williams during her teen years and has kept in touch since then. Michelle was pretty devastated when they broke up last year, but Heath's behavior had deteriorated to the point that their relationship was not salvagable. Drug and alcohol abuse along with unfaithfulness were contributing factors. Edited January 23, 2008 by Chargerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Ledger, 28, was found dead, reportedly at Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment. Is that the one that is/was banging Lance Armstrong, or is that her sister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 That's sad to hear -- takes the tragedy out of it and replaces it with stupidity. If it proves true, he becomes just another wasted life chalked up to drug use. but on a cynical, pop-cultural commentary note, it's also pretty f'n sad that we can now look forward to a guy who was a pretty mediocre actor being lionized and shoved down our throats in coming years as some sort of tortured artiste. Sadly, I agree. While it's terrible when anybody dies, I'm much less inclined to feel bad for a guy who was using drugs and cheating on his wife while he has a two-year-old daughter relying on him to be a father. That's selfish and irresponsible behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I heard about this a couple of hours ago. This bites. A very good actor. Died way too young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonorator Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 sad situation. hard to be too too sympathetic though .... just a waste. there was much good he could have done in the world in how he could have used his fame. it's a shame that someone can't see that and instead chooses to be self destructive.

Chavez Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 on a cynical, pop-cultural commentary note, it's also pretty f'n sad that we can now look forward to a guy who was a pretty mediocre actor being lionized and shoved down our throats in coming years as some sort of tortured artiste. I'd seen Ledger be much better than mediocre, but other than that very true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Is that the one that is/was banging Lance Armstrong, or is that her sister? Don't be ridiculous, Armstrong has been dead for years.

Avernus Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 well, first and foremost, any suicide (assuming that is what we're looking at) is absolutely heartbreaking, all the more so when little ones are left behind but on a cynical, pop-cultural commentary note, it's also pretty f'n sad that we can now look forward to a guy who was a pretty mediocre actor being lionized and shoved down our throats in coming years as some sort of tortured artiste. if you call getting into your role and not being the same person in every movie "mediocre"...then yeah... it wasn't suicide though...it's not like he cleaned out the bottle... but calling him mediocre as an actor just means you are misinformed....because this could be labeled "opinion"...but him being above mediocre should be obvious...
