WTF? Not sure where I'd put this... mods can delete if it's the wrong spot. Crazy. Edit, no real links. It's on CNN's main page or Fox News page. www.cnn.com |

That was my first thought also. So, you're at least as shallow as I am. Talk about people you wouldn't expect to be found dead in their apartment. |

Did they finish production yet? It is going to be like watching "The Crow". |

Did they finish production yet? It is going to be like watching "The Crow". Should be out in a few months. Anyways, I'm just as shallow as you guys. When I say "i was just starting to like him" I meant the Dark Knight too. Heh. He had some good movies, but I don't think he really got his due yet. Joker might be it. I was reading an interview not too long ago where he thought it was everything he was working towards. Not to make any direct comparisons, but it does suck in a Brandon Lee sort of way -- or hell, even Bruce Lee -- neither got to see just what kind of reception their work would get. Hell, I don't think James Dean even lived to see any of his film releases, so his story sucks the most (again, not to make any direct comparisons). |

Ledger was 20x the actor Brandon Lee was.
This is pretty depressing for me.

True, but Brandon Lee would have saved martial arts movies at least (even though the Crow wasn't an MA flick). He was excellent at it, but instead, we just got more Van Damme and Seagal. |

What crime did I commit now?
He was the first JKD artist in movies since his dad. It would have been nice. There's not even any point for you to get pissed at that.

Because it's stupid. if Jackie Chan couldn't save martial arts with Miracles or Drunken Master and Jet Li couldn't with, uhhhh, whatever. And no one who even watched USA remember who Sammo Hung is, then Brandon Lee wasn't doing dick. While they were doing that, Heath Ledger was becoming one of the greatest character actors of OUR GENERATION. Also, we know exactly how and under what circumstances Brandon Lee died. Putting them in the same thread is just bizarre. And slightly insulting. |

My first thought was Dark Knight as well. I wasn't at all surprised by the drugs thing.
I'm assuming the principal filming on Dark Knight is done, so the only problems will be in reshoots or overdubs. I hate this though, because I've always liked him even when he wasn't in good movies.

Yeah, poor Brandon Lee being discussed in the same thread as the latest druggy actor who ODed and/or committed suicide is slightly insulting. |

Can we not turn this thread into a Stray/Schild + peanut gallery flamefest? Pretty please.

Putting them in the same thread is just bizarre. And slightly insulting. I know who Sammo is. Jackie is great. He's also Charlie Chaplin. Sammo is great too, but very comical as well. Jackie even admits that that is his crutch, that he never wanted to display pure martial arts or enjoyed straight up action movies. Anyhow, this may be too much for you to understand the specifics, but JKD is great for cinema. Bruce was the only one who did it, but it would have been swell to see it again. A lot of sequences in Rapid Fire showed that it could be done again. He just didn't live long enough to film better than that. Slightly insulting Wayabv mentioned Brandon first. Snap at him then. I've gotten enough of your bitching lately. Besides, the only point we were trying to say is that it sucks when people are lost before their time. Why would you be insulted by that? Besides all that, I said twice that I wasn't making any direct comparisons just to insure that someone like you wouldn't start whining about it -- but yet, your first response was telling me how Lee wasn't as good an actor as Ledger. You stay classy, internet.

I did nothing but make a few statements concerning other dead actors. I'll say no more though. |

What a shame, he was an actor definately on the upward curve of talent.
Wonder what will happen to The Dark Knight too.

It's been a long time since an actor's death bothered me in any way. I think the last time was when River Phoenix passed.
Ledger was gearing up to star in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a Terry Gilliam flick, which most likely would have kicked ass.

Really didn't expect this. Upset me more than I would've thought.
It's interesting to consider that the Joker role may very well have killed him- given the rumors about his sleep habits while filming that and that it was apparently sleep medication found on the bed.

I totally beat you. This is depressing for me too although I'm not quite sure why. I think Dark Knight is done filming but it will just be very strange to see him in a huge movie. I wonder if the Joker dies in the movie. |

From what I read Dark Knight filming and most of Heath's post production was done so my first worry is taken care of.
I am still a little weirded out simply because he didn't seem the type I guess. I'd have picked Lindsey or Britney to be the next Celeb death and not someone talented like him.
