Heath Ledger Found Dead


Wow they are sure taking this viral marketing of The Dark Knight pretty far.






UPDATE: given the anger of the first commenter I'll elaborate. My first thought when I read the BBC article was "OMG, I hope he had finished Batman", which I realised wasn't good. Hence with this post I was hoping to make more of a postmodern* comment about the unreality of "celebrity lives" and how we see even their real lives as entertainment. Sadly I couldn't do it without this explanation. Sorry anonymous commenter.

*or possibly not postmodern

go fuck yourself buddy, that's totally uncalled for. I hope that you take that down before other people see what you've said

"go fuck yourself buddy" - now that's called for, *sheesh*

Did they finish the batman film was the first thing we all thought when we heard the news. And that's probably because I don't (and never would/will) know Heath Ledger - but the film is something I can go and see.

Harsh view - possibly, but it's true. Much like when the Space Shuttle blew up we all thought, "Damn, didn't set the VCR!" - why, because we have no connection with those that died but the event is "ours"

So, "go fuck yourself buddy" may I suggest you're a little more real and congruent with your feelings and not come over all "my best mate has died".

And if he was truly, your best mate - sorry, what a shite day you must be having.

But did they finish Batman?

They finished filming but the actors have to come in to do dubs and I don't know if that was done. I'm guessing it was.

José here,

Word of advice from one who knows: people who leave comments and aren't willing to leave their name are knob ends. True fact.
