Heath Ledger - the grieving thread
RedAzaelia:
So maybe this is kind of weird and out there, but I thought some people might appreciate it.
My favorite comic strip is Calvin and Hobbes (what a blast from the past, right?). It's about a little boy (Calvin) with a very active imagination, whose best friend is Hobbes, a tiger who is sometimes a stuffed animal, and sometimes...well, isn't. It's almost always good for a laugh, and it often cheers me up after a bad day, though it is sadly not being written anymore. Sometimes, though, the cartoonist, Bill Watterson, took a break from the humor and tackled more serious topics, with grace and simple accuracy. I thought a sequence about Calvin's first experience with grief and death would perhaps be relevant.
It's on this website: http://progressiveboink.com/archive/calvinhobbes.htm, if you scroll down to the bottom--it's a sequence of 9 strips right at the end.

Thanks RedAzaelia, I was glad to read those Calvin & Hobbeses. I used to love those, and I think I remember the little raccoon.

Which track? I couldn't hear anything?

Today I went to Castro Street to look at the Castro Theater, since they restored the marquee to it's 1970's appearance for the filming of "Milk," a movie about Harvey Milk. I watched them getting ready to film a sequence on the street with a lot of extras. It was so sad, seeing a movie being filmed and knowing that poor Heath will not be filmed for any more movies. :'(
For pictures and article . . .

Thanks for sharing that, Pete. I was wondering if any of our SF brokies would get down to Castro Street to see the transformation. There was an interesting article at www.towleroad.com with before and after pictures. Are you going to be in the movie, Pete? Marching in one of the protest scenes? They are filming them on Feb 4 and 8.
