OT/ RIP Heath Ledger.

[Stig O'Hara]

Thought he was good in Two Hands,
didn't see much of his other stuff.

Shame to go that young though.

Quite a shock really, came across as a down to earth, nice kind of bloke.

 

[thylacine60]

Was hardly a big fan of his work, only saw 1 movie with him in it (The Brothers Grimm), but my condolences nontheless

Probably the best tribute you could pay him would be to see something that wasn't universally belted by the press the way BG was. Brokeback would be a good choice. Anything other than Ned Kelly I'd reckon.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Brokeback would be a good choice.

This is putting your costume choice for the AWG & BG83 shoot all into perspective T60.

Sorry, didn't realise you were taking "a few" literally. Then the answer is no......unless you have some allergic reaction.

Now kiddies don't fight.
Pharmaceutics is my game
Firstly as we are unaware of Heath's medical status you cannot say what his liver/kidney function was so we cannot say how many tablets would be toxic
He took a cocktail of prescription and non-prescription stuff and was unwell due to illness. Any cocktail of sedatives (alprazolam)etc is a mix for trouble and if you add alcohol and other street stuff can cause respiratory depression. If he had pneumonia that could be compounding a pre-existing illness. He may have "slipped away" without even knowing he was in trouble.
So the key is
when you take drugs - legal or not , you have to be careful.
Check with your doctor or pharmacist.
If Heath has died as an accident then it is even more of a tragedy!
It is unfair to label his OD as a "junkie" thing or a deliberate suicide without knowing the facts.
I see cases everyday where accidents occur. Some medicines have a very narrow window between the active and toxic doses. Drugs legal or not are NOT regular groceries!

Very sad news. Such a talent. Condolences to his loved ones.

What a tragedy and such a shock. A great actor and seemed like such a nice guy.
Best wishes to the Ledger family.

Maybe we should wait and see it before saying whether or not it's oscar worthy shall we

lol just read a couple of reviews thats all. its the critics that base the oscars not the general public

 

[johno_1989]

yeah definately a shock

his last completed project/role seems to be his greatest role!!!

RIP

Agree 100%, it looks like his joker role is rivaling that of Jacks Nicholson

R.I.P. To a great actor

Well, I plan on seeing The Dark Knight, so that counts

It's actually the "academy", a group of 4000 or so industry insiders whose opinions are no more relevant or informed than yours or mine.

And I'm nominating you to turn up with the rope ladder after I've completely painted myself into this grubby corner.
