  • iSeven, on 01/17/2009, -1/+25My co-worker told me that his dentist said:

    "you know the reason why Heath is always licking his lips is because if you had scars like that, you're lips would be dry as hell."

    So, I guess Heath REALLY researched his character. All this time I thought he was doing it for style, but he actually had done that for purpose. wow...
  • Naryuu, on 01/18/2009, -0/+10wow already a year. crazy
  • bleumeadow, on 01/18/2009, -0/+8has it really been an entire year already? RIP heath.

  • jennlansing21, on 01/17/2009, -0/+6This brings a tear to my eye to read about this. What a tragedy and the way Gilliam summed up Heath on set was truly touching.
  • ncavet, on 01/17/2009, -0/+6What an amazing article. It's so cool to see other top actors and celebs talk about Heath that way.
  • inactive, on 01/17/2009, -4/+10He was good in the movie

  • bonk2k, on 01/18/2009, -0/+3Proof that spammers are devoid of any semblance of a soul.
  • styx31989, on 01/18/2009, -0/+3reported as offensive
  • enantiodromia, on 01/18/2009, -1/+3i bet $20 you're wrong
  • ImaHobo, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2right to the point
    but he was pretty good anyway
  • newman328, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2The movie wasn't half bad either :)
  • CDoug03, on 01/18/2009, -1/+3*spits on fingers*
  • inactive, on 01/18/2009, -5/+7Heath Ledger died?
  • harrynotlarry, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2Actors remember Heath ledger, as do Butchers, Bakers and Candle stick makers.
  • inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+2Gay plot aside, it was a horrible movie. That's not to say there wasn't great acting... the movie just blew. (no pun intended)
  • inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+2harry, you're like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.
  • harrynotlarry, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2Tell that to River Phoenix, or Kurt Cobain for that matter, who's entire lifes work has been whittled down to a t-shirt worn by 14 year old girls.
    Time is not kind.
  • kakwakas, on 01/18/2009, -1/+2He almost joined the 27 club, too!
  • kerouac906, on 01/20/2009, -0/+1I remember Heath Ledger too. He was in the Dark Knight. Yes, I remember now...
  • inactive, on 01/18/2009, -1/+2Now how is an emotionally imbalanced spell checker (a.k.a nazi prick) going to get their rage out?
  • fokov, on 01/19/2009, -1/+2"The movie" Honestly, he was really good in every movie that I have seen him in. 10 things I hate about you, A knight's tale, The patriot, Brokeback mountain, TDK, Lords of Dogtown, The Order.
  • inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+1@Phoenix

    It's not wise to upset a wookie.
  • Eqxy, on 01/20/2009, -0/+1You know Heath Ledger ain't gon' be in Rush Hour 3.
  • inactive, on 01/18/2009, -4/+5They should use him as a prop in a horror movie now.
  • Discobassplayer, on 01/18/2009, -1/+2Reported as offensive.
  • xxFidlerr, on 01/19/2009, -0/+1That picture actually made me smile, thank you
  • battmann, on 01/20/2009, -0/+1unfortunately you can see it in his eyes in the photos the kid took with him...It's kind of disturbingly sad!
  • Icebox3, on 01/19/2009, -0/+1.
  • Auran98, on 01/18/2009, -1/+2see, i heard it was because he did it as he felt the edges of his silicone facial appliance.
  • partrow, on 01/18/2009, -0/+1Why do people mark "anniversaries" of deaths and tragic events like they are birthdays or something to celebrate? Is this the result of "tickler" files reminding media folks to write something about these things when they have nothing else to fill their spaces?
    Seems like every day they are reminding us of one of these things that happened back when. Let em go, media. If you don't have enough to report on, let yourself go too.
  • inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+1AND ALL CAPS! WOO! ME TOO
  • PixelPusher74, on 01/18/2009, -0/+1Buried for being complete nonsense with a sprinkling of random hate. WTF? Who cares where the actors were from?
  • harrynotlarry, on 01/18/2009, -1/+2I know, omg I thought there would have been something in the news.
  • randomstupid, on 01/19/2009, -0/+1great mentality - US vs Them .

    Lets see how far that gets you in life mate .
  • drewbe121212, on 01/18/2009, -0/+1I really don't like being lodged in with with higher ups who make the decisions, not me.
  • cran, on 01/18/2009, -3/+4He was in a very popular movie which was released near the time of his death. That's about it.
  • PixelPusher74, on 01/18/2009, -0/+1jeez people. I disagree with his statement, but I don't think it rises to the level of reporting him. We are turning into a society where all people do is try to avoid being offended. now bury me.
  • inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+0I'm sorry guys, but Cesar Romero was the best, most realistic, true to the comics joker.
  • plank2x4, on 01/20/2009, -0/+0I'm so sick of hearing this moron who had it all and threw it away because he was popping pills like they were tic tacs... When he wins the academy award they should wheel him up strapped to a dolly so he can accept it... now that would be comedy ...
  • Dalif, on 01/18/2009, -1/+1Didn't really seem like it was very in depth. If you want to do an article to commemorate somebody, at least put a little effort into it. I guess I just expected more. After the last paragraph, I was looking for a 'page 2'. Didn't find one though, and was left with the thought: what the hell was the point.
  • TConundrum, on 01/18/2009, -2/+2he will be remembered for decades to come
  • harrynotlarry, on 01/18/2009, -1/+1I wish I knew how to quit spitting on my fingers.
  • Spoomeister, on 01/19/2009, -1/+1But apparently, not a punctuation or capitalization Nazi.

    Dork.
  • arosesosweet, on 02/23/2009, -0/+0Yup - you noticed it too? There is a HUGE amount of things that were going on behind those pictures. The eyes do reflect our soul and his had a look of sadness.
  • arosesosweet, on 02/23/2009, -0/+0Morgan Freeman is definitely NOT a scum bag and neither is Maggie Gyllenhaul -oh yeah and BOTH are from the USA and were characters in the film !

    I think they chose a fine group of people to do play the roles. The plot was weak.There were messages throughout the movie, however the story line did not support the magnitude of the film.
  • KreegsMcSteves, on 01/18/2009, -1/+1One of my favorite roles he played (aside from The Joker) was his role as Skip in Lords of Dogtown.
  • TheGreatOne30, on 01/18/2009, -0/+0I agree to a certain point. But people want to remember the good times, even if they are in the past.
