No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Oh yeah, turn on the TV. Heath Ledger died. Do you think he was sad and commited suicide because he didnt get a nomination for his performance in "Im Not There"?
He was filming a new Terry Gilliam movie. I'm curious if his role was all filmed or not. Terry Gilliam's movies are notorious for either being disasterous in the box office or disasterous during filming.
I bet you are pleasantly suprised!
