That's heartless.
I thought the same thing
It's too bad though, he was a decent actor. Reading about the research he was putting into the Joker was impressive - putting that kind of effort into what could easily be written off as a comic book movie seemed pretty dedicated.
Sad...
Really sad to see stars and people get swept up with pressure from like so bad that the only way out is drugs / suicide.

I know, i figured it sounded that way.
I WAS trying to come off as caring and feeling mournful of his death, while still being realistic
Truly sad, good flexible actor all around, which is rare these days.
Its really too bad he had to go so early. See ya Heath.
Now, this will probably make the jokers character all the more intense and emotional.
Found that early article in a thread on another forum.
They found pills by his bed, but they don't know if that's the cause of death yet. He didn't seem to have a traumatic hollywood life though, it may have been accidental. A few beers, a few pills, a good night's sleep.... a bit too much.

This is a psychological metamorphosis! The Heath we know is DED, now only the joker remains!

Winners don't use drugs!

I think Christian Bale is taking his role of Batman too seriously . . .
It's too bad, I liked Heath.
Now because he was in a movie about a gay cowboy the baptist church is protesting his funeral.

Seriously. What the fuck.
Talk about hate.
but, i hate funerals, i think they are pointless. i hope when i die people dispose of my body in an affordable fashion or use my body for scientific means.
big fucking deal.
they were gay shepherds
Fishers-of-men! *_*
These same bastards also protest the fallen soldiers that come home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Seriously free speech should be revoked for some people.
** Edited cause I'm a jackass.
Slum: Sorry I should have specified that as well.

So? from what i've heard on Larry King, Heath also took the joker's role very seriously, to the point where it affected him in real life.
You gotta love Bale for his dedication to a role, you should check out "the machinist", it doesnt get anymore serious!
Anyway R.I.P. Heath
They condemn good people for doing nothing wrong. They hurt the families of innocent people during their time of grieving, and they bring humanity down a notch.
Nobody like that can consider themselves a man of god. Nobody.
I think he was saying...serious to the point of killing Heath Ledger / Joker

Lol that's what happens when you read too fast!
so from that and from hearing sleeping pills were around.. yeah not too hard to see him going.. "ugh... those two pills didnt do anything... two more may help.." or something along those lines. like how some people take more than the recommended amount of pain killers. and if he was in a super sleep deprived state then his mental state was not right and didnt think about what could happen.
it's a sad unfortunate accident.
and i second Jimmie's assessment of those 'God' people..
1) The Phelps family is a bunch of lawyers. They aren't just being douches because its what they believe, but because they are also hoping that one day someone will go a bit too far, and strike them, then they can bring down the collective family lawyer hammer to sue.
2) Besides taking sleeping pills, Ledger was also on anti-anxiety medications, and possibly anti-histamines for allergies. All these medications suppress the central nervous system, which means that it would be much easier for him to accidently overdose on any one medication very quickly. With his lack of sleep, he wouldn't have realized he was in fact dying, because the side affect would be that he would fall asleep (which is what he was probably trying to accomplish), but then die.
But it still doesn't excuse their blatant disrespect for those in mourning, and of homosexuals. We honestly can't expect people to accept differences but that doesn't mean they can't be tolerant of other people, and treat them as humans regardless of their sexuality.
Apparently the Phelps' and their followers just don't understand. They have to realize they can't stop homosexuality. People aren't going to listen to them, no matter HOW loud they are. Shit is still shit, regardless how big the pile.
And people also must realize there isn't anything they can do about the Phelps' family. Not without stooping beneath their level by resorting to acts of violence, which is truly what Fred wishes for.
