Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted January 22, 2008 Heath Ledger's a pretty big death, esp. with the Batman movie coming out this summer. He deserves his own thread. I'll try to move the earlier posts from the Dead of 2008, but if I can't can a clever mod please do so. [Don't know about the clever mod bit - just an infrequent visitor happy to help - Teddy] They say these things happen in threes, so after Brad Renfro and now this, can the likes of Zac Efron and McCauley Caulkin consder themselves safe?

Handrejka 1,904 Posted January 22, 2008 Was he really that famous? I had heard the name but wouldn't have been able to put a face to it and it was a while before I linked him to Brokeback Mountain. Don't know what all the fuss is about to be honest and "Deaths of 2008" thread aside, isn't this site to discuss people who might die and not those who are already dead? And don't get me started on all the "but he was so pretty" crap. Why does it always come down to looks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd agree with all of that, this really doesn't hit me as being much of a much at all. uh, Heath Ledger was nominated for an Oscar for Brokeback Mountain, is playing the Joker in the next Batman film, was in Monster's Ball, A Knight's Tale and quite few other (mostly crap) films. He was engaged to and had a kid with Michelle Williams out of Dawson's Creek, who was also in Brokeback. He was not American, and died in an apparent suicide overdose aged 28. His death is the top story on msnbc at the moment. This is big news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted January 22, 2008 With 2007 arguably being the year of Old People deaths I wonder whether 2008 will end up being the year of Young Actor deaths? It's certainly shaping up to be. God, I sound like iain there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 23, 2008 So what did he kill himself or was it an overdose? I don't know much about this actor but suicide seems to be the solution for the mentally ill but more and more you have to blame the local CVS. People are getting this after that combined with prescriptions and abusing them in every way possible and all of a sudden they are getting sick from it and to get better they pop a few more... cough .. and a handful after that ''' YOUR DEAD''' and it's not a winning situation.

Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 23, 2008 With 2007 arguably being the year of Old People deaths I wonder whether 2008 will end up being the year of Young Actor deaths? It's certainly shaping up to be. God, I sound like iain there If only Winehouse, Doherty, Spears or Lohan will oblige a trifecta. Renfro and Ledger were actually talented, however, so I suppose it will be someone like Orlando Bloom who completes it. Seems a shame, though I can't really judge until more is known.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 23, 2008 It is really unbelievable when they have those commercials where they introduce 'miracle drugs' that excel in one category of healing you but at the end of the commercial you hear the voice of an elderly man say 'This drug might not be for everyone it causes 'prostate problems 'headaches' 'vomiting' 'diarrhea' 'it makes you go blind' ... it also kills you ex I mean the reason all these young people are croaking is because pharmacy drugs are being abused so my advice is only take medicine when you really need it - not just for the hell of it. Your better off talking with ecstasy dealers or dealers who possess exceptional mango\blueberry haze. The mysterious guy who is always outside your supermarket.

Guest TwistedAround Posted January 23, 2008 I've heard everything from hard drugs to sleeping pills. .. Was found naked, though. Either way, he made mention of having trouble to sleep while filimg a previous recent film and Dark Knight. Goes hand-in-hand? Possibly. Nothing about suicide. He's got a two year old daughter for hell's sake. I'm waiting for more news to come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You probably had the sam disliking disliking with Marlon Brando, Orson Welles, Kirk Douglas and so on, if they died young. The problem that stars have with dying young is that they haven't had the time too get asteblished in the films world. Would Brando for instants be so popular if he died just after On The Waterfront (Probably Not). It excually makes you not able too judge over what could have been. P.S. Is complaining about looks and other forms of matarialism not a little bit hypocritical ON THIS SITE. R.I.P. James Dean, Brandon Lee, River Phoenix, Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
