rallo 136 Posted January 22, 2008 i don't wanna sound selfish here, but is that movie completely done yet? (the dark knight) because he looked like he was going to be one badazz joker... i know it comes out this summer... so you'd think everything was completely shot and they were just editing and hyping the movie up and such... hopefully this will be a wake-up call to other celebrities out there if this is truly a drug related death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RicemanX 20 Posted January 22, 2008 Sad that he died... more sad that half of us thought about his gay movie, and half of us wondered if there is going to be a new joker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArnieBragg 1 Posted January 22, 2008 He was also due to be in the new Terry Gilliam movie. Looks like filming started last month. Gilliam almost always puts out quality movies. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is an upcoming 2009 American fantasy-adventure film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam and screenwriter Charles McKeown. The Imaginarium stars Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits, and Heath Ledger in a story about the leader of a traveling theater troupe who, through a deal with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations. Production began on the film in London in December 2007 and will move on to Vancouver. The film is slated for a release in 2009.Contents Premise In the contemporary period, 1,000-year-old Doctor Parnassus (Plummer) leads a traveling theater troupe and offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession.[1] Parnassus had been able to guide the imagination of others through a deal with the Devil (Waits), who now comes to collect on the arrangement.[2] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 4,060 Posted January 23, 2008 I liked him. He could've done the stupid "hearthrob" thing and made a sh!t-ton of money doing stupid-ass movies for teenage girls and edjr, but instead he wanted to be a serious actor. I thought he was great in Monster's Ball and, yes, Brokeback Mountain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16 and 33 0 Posted January 25, 2008 He was my neighbor for two years; he and Michelle Williams bought the corner brownstone from Nell Campbell (Rocky Horror Picture Show, nightclub owner, et al) in the fall of 2005 when Little Nell moved back to Oz. They were friendly but private. We went to the same coffee shop, I walked by their house everyday on my way to the subway, my gf and I would see them in local bistros with Matilda, always did that nod-smile-how ya' dong thing with us. They got involved in the community protesting an unpopular development, hung out in the community garden with the baby (even though they have a sweet private garden above their 3 stall garage). Just a normal down to earth young couple, everyone just got used to them being here, left them alone, felt bad when they split up and he moved to Soho. Didn't really know him, but from peripheral observation he seemed like a decent guy with half a brain - a lot more than you can say for a lot of celebs. Last time I saw him he was in a local pub playing bocce with some mates, being low key but friendly if someone came up gushing. This week has been surreal. Today I counted 2 dozen paparazzi outside her home - S.O.B.s have no soul, makes you want to shove their camera right through their face - and at least another 50 gawkers (get a friggin' life!). Sidewalk, stoop, all over covered with flowers and candles and mementos. Real shame, and I hope everyone leaves her alone now and just lets her grieve.

16 and 33 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Is that the joint in Park Slope (I think) - I was there once - whats it called again ? Can there be two with a bocce court? Wouldn't doubt it; Two years ago there wasn't a mechanical bull in Manhattan, now there are like six. The one I am talking about has a full sized pit, must take up 1/3 of the back. On the Cobble Hill/Brooklyn Heights border (depending on how you define it), on the western end of Atlantic Ave, called "Floyd", next to a pub Brits hang out at called "Chip Shot".

16 and 33 0 Posted January 27, 2008 Very petty response, GettnHuge. Maybe in most of the world celebs seem to only exist in some neverland, on the silver screen, or on E! It certainly seemed that way to me growing in Michigan. In NYC they live in your neighborhoods and eat at your local bistro and hang at the local pub. Many of them prefer it here because there is a tacit agreement to leave them alone. It's just not couth to get all starry eyed and gushy. Little Steven said the best way to survive as someone famous in the city is just be normal everyday. Don't walk around with your posse hauling in and out of gargantuan SUVs. Walk down to the corner bodega and pick up the bread and beer you ran out of, and very quickly your fellow New Yorkers will say "Oh yeah, that's the dude from E Street, he's alright". In telling you about my neighbors I was just trying to present the normalcy and humanity of this situation. After what we witnessed in the last 6 days, there is nobody in my neighborhood this weekend who doesn't have a visceral hatred for paparazzi. It's a far different experience than just reading about Sean Penn punching someone or Clooney filing another lawsuit. Mrs. Beebe, the octogenarian who knows everyone on every block, told me today she was out there yelling at "those jackals" LEAVE HER ALONE! LEAVE HER ALONE! She told me how she was shocked that "the other woman" couldn't even walk down the street without 6 of them walking back wards snapping pictures. "Who's the other woman, Mrs. Beebe...you mean Michelle's sister" "No, that other woman in the story...the one the masseuse called....the twin, you know who I mean" Again, this is New York. These people are real and they live among us and most of them want nothing more than privacy. On my block we have a pulitzer prize winner, and in another brownstone resides an author who has had six best sellers (ASIDE - all set in Boerum Hill, not that hard to figure out). That doesn't make this 'hood extraordinary, but pretty much the norm for all of gentrified New York. I inherited this place from my uncle, no way I could have bought it 8 years ago on a 28% salary. Now it's my nest egg, worth 20 times what it was bought for 20+ years ago. It is what it is. I'm out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
