I think that a lot of people will actually be 'afraid' to critique the film now. If it's good then great, at least he got the perfect swansong but if it's crap then I wish people would just say so. That's what gets me sometimes when this sort of thing happens. Very sad yes, but they shouldn't be raised to the level of gods just because they died.LukasROAR said:Now it will be overshadowed by his death.
He Had so much potential you mean. An yes I was surprised to hear about this but all in all it doesn't affect me I mean how many so called fans will even remember him in a couple years time? Most of them will find someone else to like or to be obsessed about. I always find it strange how they make a big deal of someone "famous" dying but when say 30 people get killed in Iraq they are just mentioned as a number nothing else is heard. Its silly to put one persons death above others I think regardless of the fact there well known or not.CitizenGeek said:He has so much potential, too!

Aye good point because no one remembers the likes of James Dean and River Pheonix do they.That Man said:He Had so much potential you mean.

Hmm you seem to have read into my statement to much I think as im not critising or preaching. I was mearly trying to point out that from my point of view (I am entitled to one aren't I?) that in the grand stream of things I find it silly to put one persons death above others just because there famous. As XnickX pointed out the media is all about airing intresting stories to attract as many viewers/readers as possible. So of course they are not going to put every death on the news or front pages of papers. I wouldn't expect them to I just don't like how they go about making a big thing about 1 person when there are so many others. So all in all no i'm not bothered but that doesn't mean I don't understand that others may be. So no i'm not having ago an saying you shouldn't be upset or anything of the sort like you seem to think. R.I.P Heath Ledger an i'll end it at that.LukasROAR said:Aye good point because no one remembers the likes of James Dean and River Pheonix do they.That Man said:He Had so much potential you mean.

Lol theres always one that actually believes just because we're all gutted that we value his life above others. Did any of us say that?
Yeah he was good at his job and yeah he's just another person on this earth but if people are upset with it let them be. I love how people preach and get offended that people get upset when celebs die, did i know Jimmy who died in Iraq last week...no i didn't. Did i know Heath, no i didn't yet i am aware and have seen his work first hand.
Iraq, makes me laugh, i really don't understand why people always refer to it in this scenario. Depending on your moral and political stance why should anyone care about Iraqi deaths more than celebrities. Sure it's a shame, unnecasary death always is, i think it's out of order for you to assume you know everyone here so well that you can make the assumption that they value Ledger's life higher than others.
It's not strange really...it's pretty common for people to spend frivolously and behave oddly before killing themselves. Chris Benoit (pro wrestler) had just spent a fortune on a new home when he decided to kill his wife, son and himself.Espy said:I don't think it's been confirmed it was suicide yet - he may have just had one too many... pills.
But it does seem strange that he would arrange for a massage before ODing.
