Anyone with basic cable or an internet connection yesterday most likely heard the news about Heath Ledger being found dead….and buck naked. When I heard the news I went to the forum I frequent and found the thread about the news was doubling in size with every page refresh. People were simply stunned and devastated by the news. I few people mentioned how they felt physically ill after hearing the news. I love my movies but I have to wonder how much of a fan you have to be for something like that to hit you that hard. It was a number of posts into the thread before someone asked the question I first thought of when I heard the news. Was he all done with filming his role as The Joker? People jumped on this poster and chewed his ass out. Personally I think it’s normal for a movie fan to wonder if an actor had been able to finish production before their passing. It’s a natural reaction. All these people are giving themselves an ulcer worrying about the consequences but it’s unlikely we’ll even know the whole story. He was a rising star that was having problem. Sadly he couldn’t get the help he needed. They say money can’t buy happiness but with his check from The Dark Knight maybe could of at the very least put a down payment on some.
In local news it seems that Kevin Smith was filming at the Monrowville Mall the other day. I was excited to hear it but upset that I haven’t heard of any filming locations in advance. I would love to see them film this thing.
I am in the process of converting all my blog posts into one giant archive. Yes I love myself that damn much and I am that vain. Considering I have been blogging since September 20, 2003 I have a real chore ahead of me. I have to reformat most of the entries and find pictures to match broken links. It’s kinda fun to go back that far and see what I was up to. Most things haven’t changed but there are a few funny stories that, since I wrote them, I almost feel retarded laughing at.
