Mel Gibson was an excellent choice for his father in that role, and I am not even a Mel Gibson fan.

To me the arm thing is just someone who is awkward and uncomfortable doing an interview. He was just so not concerned with keeping up appearances and all that PR crap. He seemed to really just be honest and sincere all the time, didn't seem to care if he looked or acted the part of some polished and robotic actor giving an interview. He felt awkward doing it and he didn't seem to even try to hide it...that made him so real to me.

Of course, I know nothing about the guy really...but that's just a vibe I got off watching him interact with the media.

Well I basically dance when I talk So I can understand restless arms during an interview as I really find it very very hard to stand still while talking. However, that looked like more than that to me. Tweakers are always picking, scratching and scraping on their arms. He looked to have the heebyjeebies.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I agree, but his face & voice seemed so relaxed, it was weird

PDogz said:

I agree. One of the reasons I liked him so much is that he took that role so much farther than a "gay cowboy." It was just a love story to me. I cried like a baby at the end. Anyway, that's not the first "gay" role he played.

I find it really unsettling that his last role is The Joker. I know it's just a movie, but the character in all forms of media (60's tv show notwithstanding) is notorious for driving people to their -often self inflicted -deaths.

I don't know. It just makes me feel weird.

meow85 said:

I know what you mean. Same way I felt about Brandon Lee dying while portraying someone who comes back from the dead. Weird.....

meow85 said:

I don't know anything about folks being driven to death after the role (& personally wouldn't put much stock into that), but there may be something to the types of actors who are drawn to the role in the first place

meow85 said:

I thought that was the superman curse.

I never heard that about the Joker, Jack Nicholson is fine.

i cant believe Broke Back Mountain died. I was really looking forward to the new Batman, still am I guess and he had so much potential, its sad.

CalhounSq said:

I meant within the "Batman" universe, The Joker has a long standing history of tormenting people to the point of suicide, self-harm, or insanity.

Heath was a method actor, from what I understand. He played The Joker, and publicly stated on a few occasions he was having trouble dealing with playing the part. It's not uncommon for an actor to get overly wrapped up in a role, a la Jim Carrey in Man On the Moon. I'm not saying the part had anything to do with his death, just that it gives me the creeps thinking about it.

Sweeny79 said:

Yeah that dude must have the Joker and Superman confused some how. God knows how that happened. I don't remember Jack Nicholaus or Caesar Romero killing themselves. Those are the only 2 Jokers of note really. Along with Mark Hamil from the cartoon and he's still alive. I'm tempted to say that was the most idiotic thing I've seen someone type all day but that would be mean...well I guess I am mean because I just typed it.

this is just so sad, how terrible to lose such a brillant young man. May you rest in piece young Heath and may your family find comfort and peace in your passing.

meow85 said:

I stand corrected.

What Fox News thinks of Heath's death.

http://thinkprogress.org/...ks-ledger/

Opening his radio show with funeral music yesterday, Fox News host John Gibson callously mocked the death of actor Heath Ledger, calling him a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.”

Playing an audio clip of the iconic quote, “I wish I knew how to quit you” from Ledger’s gay romance movie Brokeback Mountain, Gibson disdainfully quipped, “Well, he found out how to quit you.” Laughing, Gibson then played another clip from Brokeback Mountain in which Ledger said, “We’re dead,” followed by his own, mocking “We’re dead” before playing the clip again.

I'm not even going to listen to it. Just reading what that John Gibson did left me speechless. The man died . . . That is some cold-hearted bullshit.

Mary-Kate Olsen's Link to Heath Ledger Case
By Kathy Ehrich Dowd and Liz McNeil
People.com

The masseuse who discovered Heath Ledger's body spoke to the actor's friend Mary-Kate Olsen twice on the phone before dialing 911, police sources confirm.

Masseuse Diana Wolozin arrived at Ledger's Manhattan apartment to give him a massage at about 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday. When he didn't come out of his bedroom, she called his cell phone and got no answer, according to the sources.

She then went inside his bedroom, saw him lying in bed, set up the massage table near his bed, and shook him. When the 28-year-old actor did not respond, the masseuse – who knew that Ledger was friends with Olsen – used the speed dial on Ledger's cell phone to call Olsen in California asking for help, the sources say.

Olsen, 21, initially told the masseuse she would call security people in New York for help. The masseuse then called Olsen back to say she would call 911 herself, the sources say.

Emergency aid workers arrived at the apartment at almost the exact same time as Olsen's security people.

The source confirmed information first reported by the New York Times. It also clarifies Olsen's link to the case. Earlier rumors erroneously said that Ledger had died in Olsen's apartment.

I love this movie of his. It's one that can be watched over and over again. He played a fake knight Sir Orick of Leichtenstein

He seemed like the type of actor who never liked the media and was always uncomfortable around them. He had something of an infamous incident here in Australia on 'Sunrise' when during an interview he just sat peeling an orange and looked like he was out with the fairies. He'd been pidgoen-holed into the heartthrob thing but he was an odd guy.
