Weird

Heath Ledger dead at 28.

Weird.

And sad.

I was looking forward to his Joker, too. Now it will be a little bittersweet.

Part of me thinks he was so young and had money and a daughter and should have gotten help.

Part of me thinks - Oscar nominated, whole life before him - get your shit together!

I have tried to just settle on "boy, that is sad."

Really very sad for someone to die so young. And he was very talented. And I feel really badly for that little girl.

[mastermia]

Me too. She's only 2, that is going to be hard. Did you see Naomi Watts canceled all of her activities at Sundance? I wonder if she just doesn't want to answer questions or if she was really upset?

Being named Matilda should have been the toughest thing for her. This is just so bad. As for Naomi, I hadn't seen, but they had dated for a while right? All those Aussies stick together. Maybe it was a combination of upset and knowing that every single person was going to ask her. Can't really blame her.

I don't blame her either, but it was weird. They dated a long time ago...

And yes, Matilda is a hell of a name to get saddled with.

Yes, very sad. I kinda don't even want to know the details (I only heard about it, I didn't read any of the links). I wasn't a huge fan, but I liked him and I liked most of the stuff he did and thought he was a very talented actor. It's just... very sad.

He was talented, and the Batman people are now screwed. Do you keep the ad campaign that is centered on his character and risk looking like you are cashing in on his death or start all over when you have a summer tentpole movie to promote?
