David, he looks so cute in these pics! Thanks for sharing them. I wish now I had seen that Leno appearance. I even see a little of Ennis in Heath here, which is unusual for me when I catch Heath outside the context of BBM. Ah, Ennis...where are you?

It sure looks like it was taken during the filming of BBM.   The hair style and side burns is pure Ennis.   But the bottom he is wearing looks different than the one in the scene with Michelle at the ranch doesn't it?

The set, from the little one can see of it, looks like it might be the Riverton apartment. In the film's final cut, we never see Ennis walking around thus attired in that setting, though. A deleted scene, perhaps?

Wait, so that blonde he's kissing by the pool is a scene from his next movie? I hope so, cause if that's him and Michelle Williams, I'd feel really intrusive for seeing that.

It's so bizarre; a year ago, if you asked me, I couldn't care any less about Heath Ledger. Now I think he's awesome.

Isn't this what he's wearing in the first sex scene with Alma? Not so lonely now is it?

Edit: I love the word singlet! Around these parts, we call that a wife beater. I'm going to start using singlet. I can tell you right now, not a single person will know what I'm talking about.

Actually...my guess, after extensive watching of the movie and studying this photo...this was an outfit he was going to wear in the sex scene with Alma right before the divorce ("I'll have 'em if you support 'em" scene). What we see is them both nude in bed. Perhaps there was something leading up to that that we didn't see? Notice the sideburns in this shot, plus he is wearing a wedding ring. The set definitely looks like the Riverton apt.

Look at Heath's feet, doesn't he look like he's jumping off the ground? You can see shadows under both shoes.

That is strange. He doesn't have a jumping posture. He must be levitating.

These photos bring up something I've always wondered. Why do Ennis' regular clothes look like they came from Sears, but his pajamas look like he picked them up at a hip vintage shop? They're cute, though!

The man is so hot, he floats!

Well, for the time (circa 1967-1970) you probably could have gotten those pj's at Sears but for the movie, they did have to go to a vintage shop to buy them. Jeans haven't changed as much...as least the style jeans that Ennis wears.

Glad you liked "The Four Feathers". There are scenes I can watch over and over...

"Lords of Dogtown" got a little getting used to. Only when I saw the extras about the real scateboard drivers, that it 'made more sense'..

I have "Borthers Grimm" at home, but haven't watched it yet. Did not get the chance to see it in the cinema. I might have time tonight!

I just caught "Lords of Dogtown" on cable the other night.  The style was so raucous and restless, just like the kids themselves.   I think it worked pretty well.

Heath sounded so strange with that flat, nasal American accent!  He also looked like he had some sort of dental prosthetic that made him look like Val Kilmer to me--his teeth seemed to protrude more than usual.  Either that, or it was how he held his upper lip.  He certainly looked different as Ennis, though, without any prosthetic, so it could just be good physical acting.

Two things that foreshadowed Brokeback:  one skateboard competition took place in Del Mar, California; and Heath said "Hunh" a lot.  ;D

You're right, Meryl! I've also wondered if the teeth are fake. And the Val Kilmer comparison is perfect; now that you mention it, I was subconsciously thinking the same thing.

The real-life version of Heath's character, Skip Engblom, appears in the special features, and he has teeth like that. (Interesting side note: Heath and the real Skip are interviewed together, and Skip claims to have been the one who insisted on Heath playing him in the movie, though it's not clear why.)

EDIT: Not clear why because he doesn't say, that is, not because it's not obvious why someone would want to be portrayed by Heath.

Ha! Meryl! I noticed that too! Mentioned it on the PT board once..

I know this is the Heath thread, but I had a similar weird feeling, when I saw Jake in "Proof". I had seen BBM over and over and there he speaks with that strong slang. He was almost 'unrecognizable' as Hal in "Proof".

He sure does. That's one of the gimmicks of the movie...and people either like or not. It takes place in the middle ages (knights jousting and all that) but has a modern rock score (lots of the jousting scenes are done to Queen's "We Will Rock You.") In this particular dancing scene, it starts off with typical middle ages lute music and then morphs into "Golden Years." The dancing morphs too. It is very hot.

Very cute, though I'll admit that sometimes it feels a little uncomfortable lusting after a teenager, or almost teenager. I'm glad he looks older now, so that even though technically he is (mumble mumble) years younger than me, it's not quite so obvious. Believe me, I would still drool over him if he looked like Ennis does at 39!

That's just the way I feel, too  :). I like Heath more in the more recent pictures, where he looks more mature. I'm too old to be excited about a teenager.

And I like the way he often manages to look somehow "ragged" and uncombed. Someone recommended to give him a brush - how can you dare LOL  ::) ? I love this hairstyle (if you can call it a "style" at all *g*). Makes me wanna tousle it.
Even when he dresses up with a jacket, he still manages to not look well-dressed. His jackets are mostly a size too small. And, to make it worse, he closes only the topmost button, the fabric tautening above his chest. Is this the Aussie way (or the American way) to wear a jacket? I've never seen anybody wearing a jacket this way. But plenty of pics of Heath like this (I'll attach one). Maybe it's just the Heath-way to wear jackets  :) . Someway funny to spend XX dollars for a jacket and then to buy it a size too small.
Anyway, he's adorable.

I'm a heretofore "I only like Heath as Ennis" type.  HOWEVER.  Some of these pictures got me going.  I like him older, more chiselled -- in fact the softer, younger Heath embarrasses me.  Kinda like soft young Cary Grant.  I have to look away.  But right now, age whatever-he-is, ooh-wee, I'm drinking him in.  And just think of how his angularity will increase with age!

I definitely like Heath BEST as Ennis. And somehow, I usually don't see much if any of Ennis when I see Heath outside the context of BBM. This is even true for Jack in regard to Jake, though to a less pronounced degree. Succinctly, I'm in love with Ennis and Jack, while I admire Heath and Jake, and then primarily as actors.

When I see young Heath, I think, Wow, I sure would have had a crush on him in high school. When I see older Heath, I think, Wow, I kind of have a crush on him now! Though mainly because he is so talented and seems to have a lot of intelligence and integrity. But when I see Ennis, I think, Wow, I am out-and-out in love!

I agree, Scott, if I didn't know Heath played Ennis I'm not sure I would even realize they were the same person. Jack and Jake I would have no trouble connecting.

Actually, I have one that comes sort of close. It's a fairly recent picture of Heath from a magazine, and you can almost see Ennis in him. If I can master this newfangled computer gizmo and figure out how to upload it, I'll post it.

I've come on some pics lately, in which Heath reminds me of Ennis. But now, when I was specifically looking for them, I didn't find. It's late now and I gotta go to bed. Will be looking for more tomorrow (another excuse to surf Heath pics  ;D ).

I see your 5% Ennis as the most Ennissy of all of them -- maybe it's just the twisty mouth.  But that mouth.... I think it's THE feature with which Heath expresses Ennis: everything he would say but can't gets stopped up behind those tight lips, that clenched jaw.

Ditto for me. In fact, age aside I would almost put Lucise's pix in reverse order of Ennisinity (not counting the 100% one). The first one could be Ennis at 17, but the others are someone else entirely.

One more time you took the words right out of my mouth, Katherine (endearing - what a nice word).
You seen the pics of him in a suit and shoes that must have been inhertited from his grand-grand-grandfather? They look so old and worn-out that you think the first English settlers brought them to Australia and handed them down from generation to generation  ;)
Love it. Love the whole Heath-package: the looks, the smile, the tousled facial hair, the uncombed hair and the bad dressing, the fidgeting, the voice and those eyes.
I guess I must have turned into a teenager again LOL ::).

Repost old hot pictures because we are too lazy to go digging in the thread to see when they were posted originally? Post any old Heath pic in an effort to beat out the Jake Jake Jake folks?

Ennis didn't say much or smile much, but when he did,  I bet it made Jack feel he could die a very happy man at that moment.

It's not a picture, but a little news item.

June 15, 2006 -- PAGE Six has played peacemaker in Howard Stern's war against Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. Last week, we told you the Sirius shock jock was furious that the couple blew off him and gal pal Beth Ostrosky when Stern approached them at Nobu. Ledger read our item and quickly called Stern to make up. "Michelle and I were in a very deep conversation about something in our personal life. I was admittedly a little out of it. I apologize if we came off horribly," Ledger said, according to Stern, who accepted it. Heath's excuse is plausible because Michelle's dad, Larry Williams, had just been busted on charges of international tax evasion.


Classy move, Heath...not that Howard Stern deserves it, but I'll give Heath credit for good manners and civility.

Hi, Heathens!  I just got caught up today, looking at all your delectable Heath pictures--  I think my favorite was that dark and rainy one (oh-h...!).  Although I tend to lean more often towards our Mr. J. G., I definitely swing both ways.....  who wouldn't love to have them both?  Heath is adorable.  After reading posts by some of you about Heath in 'A Knight's Tale', I've arranged to see it soon!

This picture of Heath I've posted (hope it comes through okay) is one I sent to a friend who enjoys Heath and Jake hands and feet as much as I do, so thought he'd like this one.  Don't remember it being on this thread, but I notice you all don't seem to mind repeats!  Me, neither.

I think I might stop over at Jake, Jake, Jake, and post the companion 'hand' picture I have of Jake. (No, not from TS1!  ::) )

So, repeat or not, I LOVE this picture of Heath and his face and his hands and his feet and......   >sigh<

Yeah, how come I never meet any 39-year-olds who look like that? Realistically, 27 is a bit young for me, so Heath himself may not be in my future, but I would consider 39 to be (just) inside my age range.

Oh, sorry Leslie. Well, I never meet any 33-year-olds who look like that, either. To be honest, I don't meet too many any men who look like Heath at any age.

I guess that would partly explain why he's the movie star and the men I meet are regular schlubs.

Yes, unfortunately. I have been going to alot of events lately--my son's high school graduation, for example--and I spend a lot of the time looking at the people in the crowd. I am amazed at just how many unattractive folks there are and I am hard pressed to find a good looking man or woman.

Heath Ledger spoke recently with Fade In magazine about his upcoming role in Brokeback Mountain and some of the complexities he saw in the character of Ennis:

"It was a story I thought would be good to tell. The script was probably the best one [I have] ever read and Ang Lee is a good director. The story is beautiful, though a lttle hard to explain without giving it away. I loved the struggle of the character I was playing; a guy who had so much hatred for himself. There was this love he felt that made him a hypocrite. He was this homophobic guy who found himself in love with another man. There were so many interesting complex characteristics that made this person so interesting."

He also spoke about how a mainstream audience might react to his performance:

"I try not to think globally about my performance. I'm not performing to suit any audience. I wouldn't want to categorize my performance either. I've always tried to forget what might happen if an audience saw this thing I'm doing, what would happen if someone feels your pain or sees you baring your soul. You put yourself in these complex and vulnerable positions, and the only way you can be brave enough to do so is to not predetermine your performance."

Heath Ledger spoke recently with Fade In magazine about his upcoming role in Brokeback Mountain and some of the complexities he saw in the character of Ennis:

"It was a story I thought would be good to tell. The script was probably the best one [I have] ever read and Ang Lee is a good director. The story is beautiful, though a lttle hard to explain without giving it away. I loved the struggle of the character I was playing; a guy who had so much hatred for himself. There was this love he felt that made him a hypocrite. He was this homophobic guy who found himself in love with another man. There were so many interesting complex characteristics that made this person so interesting."

He also spoke about how a mainstream audience might react to his performance:

"I try not to think globally about my performance. I'm not performing to suit any audience. I wouldn't want to categorize my performance either. I've always tried to forget what might happen if an audience saw this thing I'm doing, what would happen if someone feels your pain or sees you baring your soul. You put yourself in these complex and vulnerable positions, and the only way you can be brave enough to do so is to not predetermine your performance."

Oh wow, Ruby, I just wrote something about this in my Daily Meditations - the baring of the soul I mean.

I know we have wondered if Heath, Jake, et al. hang out on the Internet and read the stuff that is posted about them. I just got this from the Daily Sheet at davecullen.com

Quote of the Day:  Heath Speaks About His Friendship With Jake

Our quote of the day is borrowed from Heath Ledger Central, where members are fairly certain that this poster, going by the screen name HAL, who joined Monday at 7:07 and posted at 7:25 (history of 1 post)-- is Heath.  As in Ledger.

I have just stopped over at the Addicted To The Movie Candy blog and forum. Have you seen that place. Really cool! I love that header with the swimming pool. Fascinates me how it looks like water. Very pertinent I think too.

I wanted to thank everyone who is registering there on the forum. This project is very dear and a lot of work but it means a lot to everyone involved. Good going on joining and helping.

I hope you are all well and happy. I hope you enjoy Candy, I'm really proud of this film.

All is well and fine with me and mine and I hope the same for all of you.

Also, T asked me to address something that she says has become an issue. Yes Jake and I are really friends though neither of us gets why that is a deal and yes we see each other. You know how the press is, they never think we might just be having the same kind of friendship as anyone else, most of life is normal not a movie script and because they are not looking for the normal they don't even notice what happens right under their noses. Old Hollywood manufactured romances and friendships just don't exist past the movie set if at all. When told that it had become an issue I was really confused by it's importance. But that's the press for you. If you can't say something nice, great you will sell more publications. It's so funny.

Hope you are well and happy.

Peace
Heath

How to know? 

It's so funny - on the left side of the page, by their profiles, it says things like, "Heathmatized," "Heathaholic," "Heath me baby one more time," and on the right side of the page they are replying to the post saying light, calm things like "Hi Heath. Nice to see you again."  "It's always a pleasure to have you stop in and say "Howdy," Heath."

The news sleuth in me will never go away but I miss the glory days when I had 10 articles every morning to read and choose from! And pictures galore of Heath! The man has been keeping his face away from the camera in recent weeks. Maybe when he starts working on the new Bob Dylan movie, pictures will start surfacing.

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/heath_ledger_old.jpg) (http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/heath_ledger_new.jpg)


It's amazing what a haircut can do! Heath Ledger has been our secret crush even since we saw 10 Things I Hate About You, but now he's all grown up. As a partner to Michelle Williams (Can't you just pop the question already, Heath?) and a new daddy to their baby girl, we're just glad he still finds time to act. But does he still take time to groom? He found his inner surfer in the summer flick, Lords of Dogtown, but his outer appearance was dreadful. Beach bums are known for their long hair and shades, but Heath could have at least continued to shampoo and condition. (Gosh!) Luckily, his new roles in Casanova and Brokeback Mountain inspired him to shave his gnarly locks to a short buzz cut with some matching face fuzz. (Could this Aussie's dimples look any cuter?) The suit's a little serious for our taste, but we're glad to see his style mature with his roles. So, which Heath do you prefer: the Surfer Boy or the Suited Man?

If those are my only two choices, I'll chose the short haired Heath.   

But I really prefer him to have some hair, kinda like 23 yr old Ennis.

Did everyone else know Michelle would be in the Bob Dylan movie also?

(http://www.moviehole.net/img/heathandmichelle.jpg)

Brokeback duo doing Dylan
Posted by Clint Morris on May 24, 2006
Real-life duo, and “Brokeback Mountain” co-stars, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams will reunite on “I’m not there”, a new film about legendary musician Bob Dylan.

Ledger has stepped in at the 11th hour to replace originally cast Colin Farrell, says Production Weekly.

Directed by Todd Haynes, it’s essentially thoughts on the life of the man, where seven characters embody a different aspect of the musician's life and work. Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere and Julianne Moore also star. Actress (!) Charlotte Gainsburg (“21 Grams”) is also said to be playing Dylan, at one point in the film.

Interestingly, Ledger told us in January that he’d be taking this year off, so that his wife could work. Looks like a live-in babysitter is in need.

Now if I found something like that in my hotel hallway, I'd know I'd checked into the right hotel!!  ;)  So far, no such luck....  >:(


Thanks everyone for the gorgeous / hot / lovely / cute / interesting / funny / gorgeous (and did I remember to say gorgeous?) Heath pics you keep posting.

Love the "Knight's tale" ones!

Oh, and I especially think this one is great. For some reason I've always had a thing about actors pictured with their movie character posters:

Someone on the Planet Heath thread at Dave Cullen, which I recently discovered ( ;D) posted this transcript from Heath on Jay Leno for The Four Feathers. Poor guy, you can even tell his awkwardness in a transcript!


JL: Have you ever had like a bad surfing accident? Getting whacked in the head with a board?

HL: Um, no not really. I mean I've been held under before a couple of times that's fairly frightening.

JL: By friends you mean or by--?

HL: (laughs) Yeah by friends . . . (makes motions of holding someone underwater and laughs)

JL: You mean the undertow pulling you under?

HL: Yeah, yeah.

JL: Various critics . . . (laughs)

HL: Yeah, it's like being inside a washing machine. I've had a couple of occasions of, you know, being taken under and you know, it rolls you around and you don't know which way is up, which way is down. And your swimming thinking its up til your head hits the bottom of the ocean and your like (makes a face and rolls eyes), s---. Turn around . . .

JL: Yes I guess that's a clue.

HL: (laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah.

JL: So what's the biggest wave, is the biggest wave in Australia, what's the biggest wave you've seen?

HL: Um, probably in Maga River, which is down south of Perth in Western

Australia. A couple of months back there were 40 foot waves.

JL: Forty!

HL: Yeah, coming through there. Which were pretty big but that was from a storm but I don't go out in anything over a 6 feet. (laughs)

JL: So your like in the, in the weenie waves.

HL: They're still big, they're still powerful you know. C'mon (flexes like a body builder and laughs)

JL: Just stay in the pool really, and splash around.

HL: (laughs)

JL: Now are there sharks, you know are there sharks in. . .

HL: In Australia, yeah tons. Actually in the local beach I grew up swimming in, in Perth,

Cottesloe Beach. Uh, a year ago, a man was just sitting in three feet of water kind of just you know, paddling about. (makes motions of splashing with his hands)

JL: Like this? (makes same motions and laughs) We do it like this (makes swimming motions)

HL: No but he was just standing in the water so he's like patting the water that's what I was doing see (makes splashing motions with hands again and laughs)

JL: I guess being an actor that's part of your training (makes the splashing motions and laughs)

HL: Yeah exactly. (laughs hard)

JL: (makes splashing motions again) You know if I were a shark that would p--- me off a guy goin like this.

HL: Yeah, right, exactly. (laughs) That's what happened it p---ed off this like 18 foot shark that came in and like bit him in half (motions to his waist) from here down.

JL: I bet he stopped doing this (makes splashing movement)

HL: He just went under (slouches in chair like he's going underwater and laughs)

JL: And did he, well he must have died, he had to die didn't he?

HL: Yeah he did, yeah he did.

JL: It's hard to come back. . .

HL: But you know, there was this other guy in Adelaide, uh South Australia who was uh, I may get this completely wrong but you know, most of the story is correct, (makes a face) he had his um, the son had his arm bitten off by a 10 foot, I think it was like a Tiger shark. And his dad waded out in the water, grabbed the shark by the tail, dragged it up on the beach. . .

JL: Oh, I heard about this I think.

HL: You heard about this? He retrieves the arm from the shark then they stitched it back on the kid and he was fine. (moves his arms up and down)

JL: And really, right away he could do this? (makes arm motions)

HL: Yeah, yeah. (laughs)

JL: And his father told him, whatever you do don't do this (makes splashing movement) in the water, this is alright (moves arms up and down) it's when you do this one (makes splashing movement).

HL: (laughs and does arm movements too)

continued......
JL: I mean did you ever try racing cars, did your dad ever try to get you into that?

HL: Uh, yeah kind of. You know, I left home when I was like 16 so I kind of like broke out of that. But you know, from an early age I'd have like plastic tool kits every Christmas, spanners. . . (laughs)

JL: Spanners. Those are wrenches. People are going like "Spanners?" Those are wrenches that's what we call them. Were you a rambunctious kid?

HL: Yeah, you know, I was a little terror actually. I mean, when all the mum's would get together and have their little mum groups they'd always talk about my mum and say, "Oh when that Sally comes around you gotta watch that little boy Heath. He's going to get into your stuff and tear things apart." And surely enough I would. I'd go into the kitchen and just pull all the pots and pans out and bang 'em. (laughs)

JL: Really? You were an angry young man.

HL: No, I'd never cry I was very happy, you know. Always had a smile on my face, yeah.

JL: So you left at 16, so why did you leave so early at 16?

HL: Um, I don't know, I just wanted to go out and discover life. I was curious. . .

JL: Did you know you wanted to act at that point?

HL: Yeah, yeah I did. I didn't think I could act though at that point and I couldn't actually at that point. I was terrible.

JL: So your 16, what did you, did you knock on doors? I mean how did that, how does one?

HL: Um, look I don't know, I had a cont-- (audience laughs) I really don't know how it happened I just jumped in a car and drove to Sydney and then uh, when I was in Sydney I just did meetings. And I got a job on a TV show and then that got cancelled. (looks up, folds hands as if to pray and laughs) And that's it doors kept opening and I kept following, yeah.

JL: Okay, now tell us about "Four Feathers". This is like an uh, in the good sense, one of those old time, lavish. . .

HL: Yeah.

JL: You really have to see this on the big screen.

HL: It's old school style.

JL: Yeah, your really in the desert, it's not, you know, teamsters throwing sand in a back lot. Tell 'em what its about.

HL: Ok well briefly its um, my character, I play a young guy whose mostly, who grew up in a very systematic regimental environment. And his father was a famous soldier and there are a lot of expectations on my shoulders to follow in his path. And I'm confronted with the reality of my life, and that's war. And I uh, choose not to go. And so my friends and my wife to be all send me a feather each of cowardice. So they go off to fight, so it's really a story of self-discovery, so from that point he kind of has an identity crisis and he goes off to the desert in search of his friends to hand them back the feathers one at a time. And um, there's a love triangle in there, it's really hard to sum up in a few sentences.

JL: Now you spent a lot of time in Morocco right?

HL: Yeah I was there for three months.

JL: That's a lovely place in the summer isn't it?

HL: (laughs) Yeah, yeah. I loved it actually, I really did. I loved it there and I loved the sand dunes. I loved how humbling it was and how small I felt. Everything was insignificant.

JL: And the sand is so fine.

HL: Yeah.

JL: Because like when I was in Saudi Arabia, you come home at night and you brush your teeth and you would have like sand, like little, because it's not like sand here it's like fairy dust or something. You know it's like sparkly all the time.

HL: It's just like fairy dust.

JL: Exactly.

HL: (laughs)

JL: You know in Hollywood we know what fairy dust is.

(both laugh)

JL: But you said something interesting, there's a scene in the movie where you see thousands and thousands of soldiers, and I just assumed that was the computer generating, you know you take ten guys. . . You know what I mean.

HL: No they really had them out there fighting, and the location we found was uh, it was the peak of a volcanic crest, it was just looking down on this field so it could like shoot this massive battle scene down there.

JL: Yeah it was really impressive looking scene. Let's show, what is this scene we are going to see here?

HL: This is when I'm deciding to stay in the Sudan and hunt down another one of my friends whose been put in a prison. And so I have to hand myself in and try and retrieve him.

JL: Okay let's take a look, "The Four Feathers".

[see clip]

JL: The guy who plays Abou who's that?

HL: That's Djimon Hansou.

JL: Yeah, yeah I can never say his, how do you say his name?

HL: Yeah no one can pronounce it, it's "JJAY-mon". The French pronounce it "jjay-MOHN".

JL: Djimon H-h-h

HL: Hansou.

JL: Hansou. Yeah he was terrific too.

HL: Yeah, yeah he was fantastic.

JL: Terrific, terrific job. It's "The Four Feathers" and it opens on September 20th.

HL: September 20th yeah.

JL: Good job. Thanks bud good to see you again. (shakes Heath's hand)

HL: Thanks.

10 Things I Hate About You is a teen movie, but I think it's a good one. I liked that movie before I liked Heath, but of course I was about 13 when it came out. He's young and gets to use his Australian accent.

I liked The Four Feathers also, but you may not like it if you don't like war movies.

The Brothers Grimm was...weird...but I thought it was ok. I'm REALLY not picky about movies, so I'm probably not the best person to go making recommendations, but you asked about Heath movies. More pics don't hurt either.  ;)

I loved Heath in The Order.
It is different but he is at his most handsome best.
It is NOT a horror film, and if you go into it trying see scarey it won't work or to pick the plot apart, it won't work as far as a movie plotline goes, but Heath is great. And him with the sunflowers---could stop pause all day.
And I especially love his moments of self doubt, and self discovery, what is actually important to him, and how he is going to deal with it.
His chemistry with the girl, and the sex scene(another stop pause,LOL) is awesome, and his chemistry with the Sin eater is even better.   I loved his coming into his desicions and his follow through.
some of the extra characters you wonder about, but this is one movie that I can watch him in over and over.

His co-star Shannyn Sossamon is one fine-looking lady, and like you say, they had great chemistry. ...  Amazing film!  Loved it!

OH THANK YOU for the wonderful BGrimm screen caps!!
The first time I watched it, I wasn't so sure about anything except Heath himself--NOW I am a crazy for Jacob fan--and absolutely watch it any time its on, and sometimes when it isn't, I love dvd!!

I am looking for a screen cap of BG---can anyone help me?
I want the shot of Jacob, just after he has kissed the girl and she has woke up--and then it shows this wonderful shot of him with this positively WONDERFUL little smile on his face, that just makes me melt like crazy every time I see it, and I watched it again today? Can any of you talented cappers help me find that one???
thank you, I would be forever grateful!!

Heath was also in this other movie you may have heard of, called Brokeback Mountain. I guess he was pretty good in that.  ;) :P

Thanks for the recommendation for The Order, Milli and ranchgal. I always thought it was supposed to be scary, and since I don't like scary movies, I couldn't decide if I wanted to see it. I'll check it out!

Ranchgal, the BG pics I posted were just from Google Images. I've only seen it once, several months ago, and I'm not sure I even really remember the part you asked about. Maybe I should watch it again. There are plenty of people who seem to be good with the screen caps, so maybe one of them can with that.

Oops, how did this pic slip in here?  :P

SIGH now that I have settled down a little bit, and got all my drool off the computer from the caps---and am looking at the rest of the pictures with a better perspective, it occurs to  me that usually I only really love Heath pictures that show those expressive eyes  of his--but right now I can't seem to get passed his napping on the ground all stretched out---something about those legs going all the way up just takes my whole thought process and puts it somewhere else!!
REALLY NICE!!!! ;D

Okay Heathens-

I have a sensitive, serious topic to broach. Hair. The curls are fading fast-how do we feel about that? Does he buy more like Matthew McConaughey (so not Heath but...)? Does he/do we embrace his lack o locks? Hunh?

Why I find Heath Ledger to be sooo freakin sexy:

He is real.
He is not "Hollywood"
He is just trying to be true to himself-protective, prone to anger amd a ball of nerves
Ennis del Mar
He has no interest in the "beef cake thing"
It's hard to find pictures of him cuz he just isn't about that.
His soul is in his eyes.

Next?

Okay boys and girls, I have a treat for you this morning...

Two pictures which have not been on this thread and which I have not been able to find on the Internet, anywhere, despite months of searching. They were published in the New York Times magazine on Feb 19, 2006. I didn't want to rip the magazine apart to put the pictures through the scanner. I finally persuaded my husband to take a picture so we can all enjoy.

I am posting them separately, first Michelle, then Heath. On Heath, you can see the "Old Man River" tattoo on his arm (Michelle wrote the words, he had them tattooed the next day) and the maple leaf on his hand, supposedly done in Canada after BBM. The teardrop on his face is not a permanent tattoo. My daughter tells me that convicted murderers gets tear tattoos like these. Interesting...

Oh, in case you can't tell, that is a pacifier that Michelle is holding in her hand.

Enjoy,

Leslie

Thanks so much for those NYT pics, Vicki.  I looked around for them, too, and wondered why no one had posted them.  At the time, I thought the photographer had added Heath's tattoos, but now I know they're real (except the tear).  8)

Ruby, that's a great list.  I agree totally!  Hmm, if I've anything to add, it would be that Heath is always truthful, in life and on screen.   And if his soul is in his eyes, his heart is in his smile. :-*

Though I will admit to having some weakness towards Patrick Verona---in 10 things.
I have to say I love the shorter haired Heath we see BBM, The Order like some of the pictures before.   I really love the mature looking Heath over the moppet looking young Heath, and when I think about where he'll be next as he matures, I can't think on it too much, as I don't want him to get old too fast either!! I am doing enough of that for both of us!

these are really great put ups Courtney, Thank You for sharing, esp thanks for the picture with the big smile, sparkley eyes and orange shirt---SIGH that is a real keeper that one!! WOW nice!!
AND the middle picture in post 542---You got me with that one---as it has a good shot of his scruffy boots.   Heath has a pair of boots he has been wearing for over 9 years and he just gets them resoled and polished occasionally, and I am just nuts for looking for his scruffy boots, don't know why, but they get me!!  So between them and his hands and the rest of him, I guess I am just lost in Heathland.  Thank YOU for helping me stay there. ;D :laugh:

You can specify a wider width, Ellemeno, which will change the height too. 
After the IMG and before the right square bracket, add (no quotes) 'width=300' for example.  Preview before you post to see if that's big enough.  If you quote this reply and look in the post reply window at the IMG before the 'http' in the last line you will see what I mean.

I have seen another photoshop version of the Love story too---only it has Jake upright in back of Heath and Heath is leaning back into jake--it is another really nice version to look at.   that whole idea is pretty good.

there is a tri picture back a few pages with Heath all curled up and the two smaller side picks have his bare feet showing!!

AAAIIIIEEEEE---MANPATCH!!! OMG do I love that cover of Heath with his manpatch starting to show!! I have the mag in color too, and never tire of looking at it--and with Jake added into it--WOW!!! GOODNESS it gets warm on this thread!!! LOL

LOL I always call that his rumply hourglass look, cause that jacket buttoned that high makes him look like an hourglass---I too wish he would button the middle or next one down so he would look V across the chest and shoulders and wouldn't look so rumply and PULLED together.   But he has done that for years----and someone told me that even though I think it is unflattering---that is the way that suit jacket with those number of buttons is supposed to be buttoned---personally--I don't think either of them know that it could look so much better---I don't care how it is SUPPOSED to look!!
So I am with you there---but he looked like that when Michelle fell in love with him, and I don't see him or her trying to change him much---think we are just stuck with our own opinions.  LOL ;D ;)
(maybe great minds do think alike!hehhehehehehe)

Sashca---I am loving those cut down picts of that scene from BBM with his feet and hands---that is nice, too hard to see them all within the whole picture, nice of you to help us out!! Thanks

Okay, Lucious Limbs Fans--  I think we need to include this shot of Heath's (Ennis's!) feet:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/sashca1007/calvesHL.jpg)

And here's ONE of his hands (don't get grabby, now..!)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/sashca1007/handCUHL.jpg)

I'm sure you all know what the 'parts' are that I did NOT include--   :o ::) 

Yes, I feel guilty looking at those naked pictures of Heath....   but apparently not guilty enough to stop my lookin'.  If he's angry at me for having them, there's not much I can do but accept the stern talking-to (or the spanking) that he thinks I so richly deserve.   ;)

Oh man, I have regretted not copying those when they were making the rounds of the net!  I figured I would be virtuous and not join in on the Heath exploitation.  Stupid me!  There's no reason I couldn't still respect the hell out of him while admiring his Grecian form.  ::)

Love the limbs Sascha..love 'em - even if a certain other 'appendage" was left out of those pix  :P

Okay, one more H&J for the night.. ;)

p/s: You'll find these pix on the Jake thread as well.
Since these are H&J combined pix, I thought it'd be a good idea to have 'em on both threads.. :P, so bear with me.. :)

Just read that Heath is soon heading for Montreal to begin the Bob Dylan movie.

Dirt Music will be starting to film in 2008 with HEath and RAcheal Wiess.

And Heath has been announced  as being cast as The Joker in the Batman Begins sequel, yet unnamed--Heath as a real bad guy!! The rest of the original cast is also stated as being on board.
I am so excited.   Batman Begins was the best batman movie I have ever seen, and the only one I can actually sit and watch and enjoy, can't deal with the rest of them.
IF they give the Joker and the script the same type of treatment as they did the first movie--It will be a great experience for him in my opinion to do some stretching and really go off the beaten path for his acting talents.   I am looking forward to it.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before. I apologize if it has. I found it at the Dave Cullen Board and "stole it" to post it here. It was too cute to let it pass. It's a photo montage a davecullen member did to show how much baby Matilda looks like her father.

No, unfortunately he hasn't quit, and neither has Michelle---have it on good authority that he only gave it up temporarily, and never really intended to quit permanently, though for the life of me I couldn't tell you why.  I wish it was true.

The webmistress of Heathledger.com,(Theresa) runs the forum over there, and Heath is a personal friend of both hers and her daughter, and he actually posts over there in a special thread, once in awhile for all his fans--He just made an appearance at a play she was producing as a guest in the audience--she told me, after I read the same article and said the very same thing that I was glad, that he was at her house within the last few months, and was smoking after dinner---so that was only a temporary pause in his habit, and has been smoking again since around Oscar time.

And in truth, though I don't care for smoking myself, I don't have the right to judge anyone else's bad habits, cause I have enough of my own---but I did want you to be aware of the truth.    Smoking is one of those usually doesn't work the first time you try to quit habits, I have two brother in law s that each have quit at least twice before and are back at it again as I type this.  It is a bummer.

thank you, not only do I love Ennis/Heath but I covet that big bay horse he rides---wonderful useful looking animal--and I wish I owned him.  My own very similar to that bay horse is 24 now, and won't be with us much longer I fear, he is still in good shape for his age, but can't chase cows anymore, and his back muscles are failing and he is getting that scrunched swayback look, and sometimes it almost makes me cry.
ANd when I see a horse looking how he used to look---especially with Ennis on board--well I just get misty.

I am NOT happy about this news because personally I HATE Batman movies...

For months, gossip has been circulating who would play The Joker in the "Batman Begins" sequel which will concentrate on the Clown Prince of Crime.

Now, Latino Review who first revealed that Brandon Routh was going to be the new Superman, has heard from a very trusted source that the offer last night was officially made to Heath Ledger to star as The Joker in the sequel.

Seems an unusual choice, much younger than expected considering other mentioned names have
included Robin Williams and Paul Bettany. The tall and lanky Ledger has proven himself to be a solid awards-calibre actor who can disappear into a performance.

Playing evil though, certainly something he hasn't done before.

Les-

Keep in mind the Batman Begins series is nowhere near the comic book sensibility as prior productions. I would suspect that The Joker will not be as portrayed by Jack Nicholson..
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: ranchgal on July 25, 2006, 04:45:51 pm
Me either,I don't think Heath's Joker will be much like any of the ones before, and I think this will be an excellent opportunity for our Heath to stretch and really expand his acting chops, considering that he has NEVER really done anything really bad before---this will be a real experience that if he carries it as well as he does everything else will bring him to a whole new level too, not to mention audience.

I hate the Batman movies, with the exception of Batman Begins--and if they give the Joker the same seriousness, and character respect that they gave Liam's character, this movie will be really good.   I mean seriousness in the way that we do have to expect this character to be totally insane, with a real flair for the dramatic and extreme-but not be overly comedic in playing it out.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: serious crayons on July 25, 2006, 06:18:17 pm
It's a strange choice. And I've always liked that Heath supposedly turned down the role of Spider-Man -- rejected all that comic-book fame and fortune in favor of playing a gay man in a low-budget art-house movie! That's one of my favorite anecdotes about him.

But I guess I don't really care whether it's good or not. I can't see myself staying away from a movie that stars both Heath Ledger AND Christian Bale.

Heath hasn't let anyone dress him since he left home at 16---so he does it all by himself.LOL

Here is a link I got over at davecullen, that has both Heath and Jake together with Michelle during BAFTA awards,  you have to join the site though cause I think there is a log in to view the pictures big.  But it was fun to see Heath and Jake togerher too.

Well you know there are some women who refrain from telling their men how to dress.  I do, always have, unless he asks me what I think I keep my mouth shut.  Of course for the most part I have always been blessed with men with good taste and fashion sense.

Well, the way Heath dresses no one will ever accuse him of being Gay!   LOL.

One of my co-workers told me he thought another coworker might be gay.  I quickly pointed out that this person was wearing black pants, black sneakers and white socks.   I said :"No way.  No respectable gay man would be caught with white socks!"   8)


Now Jake on the other hand......  that boy is very Metrosexual.   Admittedly he can dress down when he wants to, but overall that boy dresses very well unless he is shooting hoops or dodging the papparazzi on the streets.

I have been going thru the Jake Jake Jake thread and thought i would come and browse thru the Heath thread...and all I can say is........


Please, please, dont think that our Aussie men dress this way

I dont know where the hell Heath got his clothes sense (or lack of it) from.....

Surely now he has Michelle, she might teach him how to dress a bit better.

He is such a doll, why does he spoil everything with those damn hats, too tight jackets, and all the other shit he wears....

He should maybe stick to cowboy gear, he certainly looks good in that.

Heath movie questions....

During the last half year or so I've thrown myself at some Heath movies, have watched Brothers Grimm, Four Feathers, Ned Kelly, Casanova and the relevant first half of Monster's Ball. I've also re-watched Knight's Tale a number of times. It's such a delightful film (with Paul Bettany as bonus, and it's got the perfect ending - only I want it for Jack and Ennis...  :( ) Anyway, I've got two questions:

 - Lords of Dogtown - any good? (My local supermarket has decided to stock it all of a sudden, so it's easily available).

- Any other Heath film that is unmissable or that people here would recommend? (Barring "The Patriot". Mel Gibson in simplistic-patriotic fervour is something I'd rather give a huge pass, Heath or no Heath.)

I  have not seen it yet, but people tell me that 10 Things I Hate About You is very cute...and you get to see Heath sing and dance.

Candy, which is only playing in Australia right now, is supposed to be excellent and Heath turns in another stellar peformance.

Oh yes - I'm waiting for Candy with equal parts anticipation and trepidation. The story sounds so.... painful and hard to sit through. I'm sure Heath does a stellar performance. Though God knows when it'll ever come to my part of the world (=Scandinavia). Australian films don't make it here very often and they always come late when they do.

I loved Lords of Dogtown! Though bear in mind: 1) my sons are skateboarders 2) I saw it before Brokeback 3) the kids in it are about the same age as I would have been in that year 4) therefore I also like the music 5) it is pretty lightweight compared to Brokeback BUT 6) Heath is good in it -- it's the movie that reassured me that Brokeback would come out OK 7) his character is VERY different from Ennis.

Heath simply disappears into his LOD character Skip, and you won't recognise him if you don't look for him, or haven't seen some of the photos or screen caps.

I enjoyed LOD, and I am a long way from a skateboarder---I would recommend at least taking a look.   

I really enjoyed 10 Things I Hate about You-It is a teen flick---ONLY rent the dvd---Do NOT watch the comedy central version on tv---it really sucks--they edited out some key(for me anyway) scenes to make room for their overly filled with commercials.
Heath does a good job (he looks good too in those leather pants at the club) and even though the plot is pretty straightforward and stock, it is an enjoyable romp, even recommended as a take off of taming of the Shrew, though he really doesn't do much taming, mostly outmanuvering. LOL

Another one I recommend cause I can watch Heath in it over and over is The Order- it is NOT a horror film or even scarey, it is a drama with a few supernatural overtone scenes.   the side characters except for the Sin Eater and the girl are nothing you haven't seen before, but the end twists and all the plot reasonings become clear at the end. I enjoyed finding out everything, and how everything fitted together.
Heath has tremendous chemistry with the girl he is in love with, and with the sin eater himself---really good interchanges, and he gets shirtless and Looks really hot making love to the girl---I watch it for Heath cause he is so good in it, and I am willing to forgive any weak links in the plot cause I enjoy him and Sin Eater and the girl so much.

As an opportunity to enjoy Heath hotness, I think "Lords of Dogtown" rates very low.  He doesn't have a love scene, and he wears prosthetic front teeth that make him look more like Val Kilmer.  I mostly remember him getting drunk and talking all surfer dude like.

If you have a DVD of "The Patriot" that allows you to skip non-Heath scenes and FF through Mel's speeches, then it's worth a look because Heath is so young and adorable, and the dirty old lady in me was happy when he got wounded and had to be in bed with his bare chest showing.  :P

Ranchgal, I really want to see "The Order!"  Sounds like prime Heath loveliness to me.  And I agree that "10 Things," while hardly great movie-making, is a fun glimpse of young Heath being utterly crush-worthy.  ;D

Hey, I'm looking to appreciate his acting -  the temperature of his hotness *surely* is entirely secondary.

This of course made me scamper post haste over to Heathledgercentral to ogle relevant film stills. You're *very* right. Soooo cute and earnest-looking and swelled up with patriotic feeeling and...... ahem. You know how that goes! Mmm.

Nevertheless, after that horrible (IMO) Passion film I avoid MG at all cost. Heath would simply have had to do his entire role in the nude for me to give the Patriot a fair chance....


Anyway, I'll give Lords of Dogtown a try based on the recommendations here, and just dress warmly to mitigate any regrettable lack of hotness.  ;D

I'll also see about getting hold of "The Order".

And I probably should start campaigning to get Candy to these shores sometimes this century.........

Lords of Dogtown freaked me out the first time I saw it. There was something eerie about Heath's character. There was a sound of Ennis somewhere that threw me for a loop-maybe it was a "hunh". If you are looking for Heath immersing himself in another character, don't miss it. If you are looking for Heathcandy, you can pass.

I was also amused by Casanova. Not the acting tour de force as some of his others but, at this point, I could't possibly be unhappy with any time spent with HAL!

Lords of Dogtown grew on me as I watched it, and I think Heath shows his acting talent in it in a way we don't really see in some of his earlier movies.  And The Patriot - I TiVo'd it and fast forwarded and just stopped to watch all Heath's bits.  He's so lovely-looking in it.

Addition:
I just read the other comments - I know Heathcandy is in the eye of the beholder, but I loved seeing his body while skateboarding, that is certainly worth something.  And his character has a heap o' pathos near the end.  He's good in it. 
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: ranchgal on July 28, 2006, 11:17:12 am
Yes, I look at LOD, Monster's Ball, and BBM all as a testiment to his talents, because in each role, he simply disappears as an actor/person, and becomes the character, you don't see Heath playing a role, you see the character totally.
He is like that in most of his roles, and I see it too in The Order---but I can't think of another actor with the exception of Tom Hanks who so completely develops his characters the way Heath does.

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are good actors, and tell a good story, but in every role I have ever seen them in, I am always conscious of Tom playing Maverick or Brad playing his character, they never actually disappear into the character itself. 
That is one reason why I can see Heath doing almost anything, and doing it well.


I don't know if anyone here is interested in photos--but www.moviestore.com is having a sale of 8x10 photos, color and b/w and have several pages of Heath's photos from movies as well as publicity portrait shots for $3.00 each and I am pretty sure they combine shipping packages too.   they also sell movie posters but they aren't included in this sale.  Lots of different pictures of lots of movie/tv actors.  interesting to view anyway.

He plays a military recruit madly in love with an English beauty, they are engaged, and he deems Englands military take over of somewhere with Camels---not a good enough reason to go to war-He wants to stay and start a family--So he resigns before his unit is shipped out, and his best friends each give him a feather telling him he is coward---his soon to be wife--joins them and adds the 4th feather---and then since she won't marry a coward---he follows the unit, and tries to help each in turn so they have to take their feathers back, because he can't get her to take hers back until he has gotten rid of the 1st 3.

It is an epic type story, and very involved---lots of war action and hand to hand combat--
He is great in it, and there is lots to watch.  And the wonderful Black guy who is his savior and guide in the hostile land is also simply fabulous!!  Can't remember his name though, sorry.       Sort of along the lines of Lawrence of Arabia, and this is the 3rd remake of it.   I like Heath's alot better than the first one.

After searching high and low for A Knight's Tale on the tele this weekend, I finally find it and then miss my favorite scene-the dance to Golden Years! What a bone head! I gotta go buy that movie.

Heathen Heathen Heathen
and then some

Ruby, the same thing happened to me!  I taped it late at night on TNT and got most of a Keanu Reeves movie instead.  "A Knight's Tale" cut off just as Will was heading for the big confrontation with Rufus Sewell's character.  Bummer!  >:(

Milli, thanks for posting your artwork.  They're great!  8)

Checking in here to say I just spent the late hours watching "the Sin Eater". Uhm, I thought it was a pretty weird and über-mystic dramatic mess, to be honest. (And the special effects were ...ugh!)
But didn't care too much about that, because Heath was certainly looking trés hot and desperately and darkly handsome, all the way through. Not his fault at all that I couldn't suspend disbelief and go with the flow of the plot - such as it was.  So I just let reason go and *thoroughly* enjoyed the visuals.  :P

You mean "The Order" ??    Indeed it was a strange movie!   Loved Heath in it.    But I'd have written the ending a little different.   His female love interest had WAY too much baggage, so I was thinking he shoulda teamed up with the guy that was the original "sin eater".  That actor was damned hot too!     I wouldn't mind to have seen them do some sin eating of their own!   :laugh:

Sure enough. The UK version is actually still titled the officially "Sin Eater" - that's the one I've gotten hold of.

Meryl, someone on Imdb says that Heath "Broods and smolders" in this one and I think that someone's right. And he looks good while doing it. But wow, am I grateful that Ennis came along! Perfect for Heath after a bunch of so-so roles, and the combination of the two forever *perfect* for us.  :)

I doubt it the Joker was never buff--always wears suits,
and only his hair has green highlights--his face is white paint most of the time, with red lipstick.

Based on the style of Batman begins, I don't get the feeling that this Joker is going to be quite the cartoon character as previously played-I sure hope not.

I found these pictures in a site dedicated to Heath. As you can see they show Heath and Michelle together acting like a couple on the set of BBM. I think they look cute, but they're so Alma and Ennis. Heath looks very much into his character, not just because of the clothing but his whole body language. I guess they were on the way to shoot the reunion scene, cause that's the shirt Ennis wears on that scene, isn't it?

Please, if someone already posted them, let me know to delete this post.

I've gone from somebody who, prior to February, didn't even really know who Heath Ledger was, (or Jake, for that matter) to someone who just came back from WalMart with A Knight's Tale, 10 Things..., and Monster's Ball. (And I'm supposed to be saving my money for Alberta...) My son reminded me that he has The Order (and that he is waiting for me to come upstairs to see it) and I am reallly, really liking Heath in The Lords of Dogtown. (Do y'all like to watch for signs of Ennis in other movies? I saw a couple of things - physical movements - that must be Heath, not Ennis, because they keep showing up.)

I am so pleased to see what a good actor he is in so many things, not just as Ennis (who I totally love - Jack's Ennis, of course, not Alma's). He's a real chameleon, not like some actors who are always the same person, really, no matter what role they are playing.


And he just seems to be such a nice person, period.

I'm really appreciating all the photos you guys are coming up with, (opinionista, you posted while I was typing this - omg!) and the youtube videos, as well. Thanks to everyone for all of that!

But, there is one thing that I just don't get about him. Can someone explain to me the buttoning of just one button high up on his jackets? He does that a lot, doesn't he? I don't think I'm just seeing the same photo over and over again. What is up with that?

He also needed to explain a whole lot of it to me as we went along. Surprisingly to me, I kind of liked it. I thought that Heath really looked good in his long, black coat.

Hi tamarack - I wish I could remember your first name (but I will soon if you stick around!)  You are telling my story.  Heath who? - prior to BBM.  Now Heath mmmm. :)

I also look for Ennis in his other roles.  I just watched The Four Feathers and saw little bits of Ennis, but only a little. 

Yes, his style of dress is often not my taste.  One Australian Brokie here, Katie, just recently assured us that Australian men DON'T dress like that. :)

Post by: tamarack on August 06, 2006, 07:27:04 am
I saw the subtle "head shake" (I told you, Jack, it ain't gonna be that way...) several times last night in The Order. And one leg swings around in a particular way - I always think of "Well, I guess I'll see ya around, then..." and he's moving his body off the front of Jack's truck, and his leg swings around first and the rest of his body follows it. I saw something very similar in the youtube video posted by you, clarissa, of the dance sequence from Knight's Tale (which is why I was looking for it at WalMart, btw), and also in Dogtown when he sets down a box of surfboard resin and then heads outside to find where everyone has gone. Actually, that one is much more reminiscent of the way he moved when he was running up the dry creek bed chasing the mules!

Well when you watch 10 Things---be sure to look for when Heath hits his "teacup" pose, like the one we saw him use at the award show.  IT is a common Heath pose, but not very many knew it at the time, but it shows up in 10 Things. ;D

I always call that top button look his rumply look cause it pulls his shoulders together, but in most all of his jackets, he buttons that way.
Someone told me that with his style of jacket it was the correct way to wear it, but in my opinion it makes him look like an hourglass---and is unflattering, either that or his jacket needs to be one size bigger so it doesn't pull him in so much at his top.
I wish he would button the 3rd button around the midsection, instead of the top ones, it would make him look so much better.  But somehow I doubt he ever will-LOL ;D
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: tamarack on August 06, 2006, 01:13:54 pm
Ranchgal, I just did watch 10 Things and I guess I missed the teacup pose, or at least I'm not placing it right now. What part of the movie was it, do you remember? The DVD is still in the player...

Yeah, that jacket business is so bizarre. Wasn't there some old sitcom with a character called Merkyl or Yerkyl or something like that? A young black performer with thick black glasses, too-short pants, and white socks, and he buttoned his jacket like that. That's who I think of whenever Heath does the button thing. I agree that if the jacket was at least a little bigger it wouldn't be quite so bizarre. You don't think we could get him to stop doing that, huh?  ;)

Watch when she finds the white guitar and starts playing in the store. He doesn't hit it long, but it is long enough to see it, and seems perfectly natural for him.
It is like he stands that way when he is trying to figure what he should do next, or realizing something he didn't know before.  ;)

thanks for putting up that motorcycle picture.  I really like that one even b/w.
I get sick of such judgemental headlines, don't those jerks maybe realize he may be preparing for a role and letting things go because of it?
Heath has said he never knows what to do with his hair, and I believe him. But I think maybe that wind blown look maybe a prep for his part in I'm Not There, filming now, so the timing would be about right for him to get that 60s long hair look.

OK, ranchgal. I know exactly where you mean. I'll have to look that up as soon as I get some chicken in the oven.

I'm usually over on the Jake, Jake, Jake thread, posting photos but I had to slip over here a minute & put in my 2cents worth on Heath in the movie, "Casanova." I loved it! [littlehearthere] I am going to order a copy from Amazon marketplace (where you can get some good deals, btw). It was fun to see such a light-hearted movie, with sumptuous costumes and filmed entirely in the beautiful city of Venice. Heath was a natural as a cowboy, but he also seemed a natural as Casanova, one-half step ahead of the law, frilly white lace at his wrists and, of course, all the ladies who swoon in his presence. This is probably a dangerous thing to say, but I didn't think Heath always looked good in BBM. Maybe it's because I think Jake looks so very good by contrast?!. But he (Heath) looked very good - and very sexy -  in every scene in "Casanova."

Here's an interview video I haven't seen. Worth a watch if you have the time (about 10 minutes). Among other things, he talks about the SAG awards. So who besides me loves his low voice?  ;)

Here's an interview video I haven't seen.

I love this interview. It's one of my favourites. I love how he's talking about Matilda. And it's so funny how he talks about the SAG awards. He is absolutely right.
The text they had to read out at the SAG awards was simply over-dramatizised. I would have laughed too, if I would have had to read something like this. I found it funny, too and I was only a viewer, hadn't to read about myself and let alone on stage, being nervous and all. I think Heath was absolutely cute at the SAG awards and don't understand why he was criticised for it.

I love that voice! This interview gives such insight into his personality-not qite comfortable with the press (with good reason), kinda serious but with a definite quirk to his humor. Honest, skittish-beautifully soulful.

I just like who he is-none of that wild celeb worship-just an appreciation of the actor and the man.

only on thing I would correct on that--I wouldn't call him HeathCliff, as that isn't his name.   His mother did think of the Characters from Wethering Heights,  but did not name the kids literally after them.  Heath is just Heath, and his sister's name is spelled differently.
One reported asked him about calling him that and Heath replied, "NO, just Heath."

Well I have biographies in book form, and I have the original magazine article with his direct quote. Saying it is JUST HEATH.
plus both books and the articles I have state that while the characters were some of his mothers favorites--she named him Heath, and changed the spelling of Catherine for his sister, Katherine, called Kate.
HEath Ledger too good to be True by Grace Catalano
Heath Ledger The Heath is ON by Nancy Krulik
and go to one of the best mag articles out on Heath:(the one with the manpatch, has pictures on this thread) the August 2000 Vanity Fair issue "We'er having a Heath Wave---that article has a direct quote right from Heath in the second to the last paragraph:
< He's asked if Heath is a shortened version of Heathcliff. QUOTE:" No, just Heath.">
You can look it up maybe at Vanity Fair. I bought mine off ebay.

but you believe what suits you--I'm done talking about it.

Heath update:

(http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k261/coffeecat33/heathl_beitrag_400.jpg)
Die Rollen im Sequel zu „Batman Begins“ sind heiß begehrt unter den Stars. Freuen darf sich Heath Ledger, der den Bösewicht Joker spielen wird.
Heath Ledger hat das Rennen gemacht:
Zwar wollten auch die Kollegen Steve Buscemi, Mark Hamill, Paul Bettany und Robin Williams die Rolle des fiesen Clowns. Doch Batman-Regisseur Christopher Nolan hat sich am Ende für den 27-jährigen Australier entschieden.
Auch Ledgers „Brokeback Mountain“-Partner Jake Gyllenhaal ist im Gespräch für die Besetzung des neuen Batman-Films: Er konkurriert mit Guy Pearce und Hugh Jackman um die Rolle des Twoface.
Batman selbst soll weiterhin von Christian Bale gespielt werden. Ein Wiedersehen gibt es auch mit Michael Caine als Alfred und Morgan Freeman als Lucius Fox.

Die Rolle von Batmans Jugendfreundin Rachel wird neu besetzt: Katie Holmes fliegt aus dem Cast. Angeblich haben die Produzenten ihre ewigen Cruise- und Scientology-Allüren satt.
Oder wird der weibliche Part kurzerhand ganz gestrichen?
Wenn neben Heath Ledger wirklich auch Jake Gyllenhaal mitspielt, verführen die beiden Batman vielleicht zu einem flotten Dreier!? Die nächste Oscar-Verleihung braucht schließlich noch einen Skandal …

People want to weigh in on Michelle's bathing suit? Personally, I think it is sorta cute but then, I have never been a big fan of bikinis.

I have to say that I don't really blame them. They must be sick of having papparazzis stalking them everywhere. As for Michelle's bathing suit, I wouldn't wear it, but doesn't look bad.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: tamarack on August 16, 2006, 01:01:51 pm
I'm going to agree with opinionista on this one. Michelle and Heath are going to have to do a lot more to a papparazzi than give them the finger to offend my sensibilities. It won't even cross my mind while I'm watching Ned Kelly tonight!  ;) (Thank you, Amazon Marketplace!)

As for the bathing suit, I think it's very appropriate for a young mother (did I date myself enough with that comment?!) But if Heath asks, I'll suggest that he cut about 8" off of his pants.

Speaking of 8 inches, has anyone else noticed that in Lords of Dogtown, on the DVD with the added material (and I'm wondering if it is maybe in the uncut version of the DVD in the movie itself), there is a quick scene with Heath walking toward the camera with some jeans on that have some rips on the right hand side rather high up on his thigh. It is very quick, and then it seems that the jeans he has on don't have the rips, which may be due to the fact that there is **something** showing through the rip that I don't believe is the skin on his thigh.  ::)

Me too.  I would HATE to live a paparazzi-riddled lifestyle.  Even when they weren't visible, I would be twitching, wondering when they were going to show up.

On "Inside the Actors Studio,"  Dustin Hoffman said he HAS to act, that if he hadn't found the success he has, he would be doing it in community theater, or anywhere he could.  That would be me.  I couldn't be a star, with the negative aspects that come along with it.

Me neither, never mind all the fame and fortune. I'd like being widely known in my profession, but only among my peers, the other nuclear physicists or whatever. Not easily recognizable to the public at large. That would suck.

And I would especially hate being photographed in a swimming suit!

I could even be terrifying. The fame, I mean (though my swimming-suit photo, too).

About a year ago, I interviewed Peter Tork, former Monkee, who told me a story of being swarmed by a mob of fans who would have been happy to own a piece of him as a souvenir. He said he was really scared. So not worth it -- not even in exchange for having your face on lunchboxes across the country!

Well the article said that when he passed them a note, they left.
but this is not the first time Heath has been photographed flipping the razzi off, and it certainly won't be the last---at least he lets them know they are not welcome to invade his privacy, and after some of their past antics towards him, I don't blame him a bit!
it is exactly what most 26 year olds I know would do to someone bothering them.

thank you for putting up that second fanart picture--it is a real keeper!! very nice

Peter was always my favorite Monkee, actually.   That's cool you interviewed him, Katherine.  That Monkees world must have been pretty surreal.  Part pretend, part real.  Real swarms of fans.

He was great. I really liked him. Friendly, funny, intelligent, surprisingly candid. I only talked to him on the phone (though from what I've seen elsewhere, he's still cute at 60-whatever). He expressed very mixed feelings -- amazement, bitterness, nostalgia, affection, a sort of ironic distance -- toward the whole Monkee experience.

Now he's my favorite Monkee, too! Who knew that after all these years, I could quit Michael Nesmith?

#4 Making Love, #5 Afterglow, and the postcards montage are all eminently suitable.

And an interview on Regis and Kelly about Lords of Dogtown.

And finally Heath on Jay Leno for Lords of Dogtown. He talks about BBM a little. Just a warning - Leno was very...Leno.

I think Heath is tall. According to IMDB Michelle is 5'4 tall, so that's pretty normal for a girl IMO. I'm only 5'1, if she's tiny I'm invisible!

I've had this movie for about a week and just hadn't watched it yet, but your post, David, caused me to do so. I'm surprised at how much I liked it. I didn't realize that there was so much humor in it, and Heath was just soooooo cuuuuuute!!!!! And the clip of the dance sequence that was posted here makes a lot more sense to me now. I had no idea why the music was the way it was or why they were dancing that way. I will definitely be watching this one over and over and over...

 And yes, Prince Edward could definitely be Ellery Cantrell!

Heath is 6'1".
the square one is his newest with the 3 circles in it.  we have been speculating that the 3 circles represent the 3 of them, but it may just be a design he liked at the time. It is his newest.
The bird is some Austrailian bird, but is not an eagle, I believe.  I have seen a name for it, but can't remember right now.  will try to see/remember where I was reading about it before.

I also found out this morning while checking on the tattoos that Heath is going to play Greg Noll, a surf "legend", in a movie to be made in connection with Stacey Peralta, one of the real Lords of Dogtown. I think this is just so cool! (Although Heath is built nothing like Greg Noll - he was a pretty big guy - so not sure how that is going to work out.) I love to watch Heath in Dogtown and this will be even better because it's surfing instead of skateboards.  ;D ;D ;D

those are good pictures of some of his older tatoos in that link thanks for posting it.
Yes that circle with the black/white opposites on his shoulder does represent a yin/yang thing I think. 
and the three circles on his other shoulder--I had heard they are Australian aboriginal tribal designs, -could well be sun/earth/moon as you said---and sometimes depending on the movie they get turned into a Celtic cross--depending on the Director's vision---it is all makeup but something to know anyway.  I don't believe that ROAR tat around his bicept is permanent though, I just think that was for the series, it certainly isn't showing up now when he is in a tank top.
I was referring to the big black rectangle with the 3 smaller circles in it on his forarm--as representing the Ledger family-as he had both Michelle and Matilda in the tattoo parlor when he had it done.  But he hasn't really said anything about what they are to him as of yet.   But it also could represent as you said the S/E/M.

My favorites still though are KAOS on wrist, Old Man River on lower forarm, and his leaf tat on his hand. Just really like them and all they represent to him and me. LOL

from what I can gather, Heath's being in this is still only a rumor.   this is not even in pre-production yet, and NO ONE has actually signed on to do any of the parts---they are still dealing with scripting and financing--so I wouldn't count on this being true as of yet.
He did enjoy doing LOD-and this movie was brought up then, but nothing was actually done about it--and he may well already have commitments that might conflict with his doing this depending on when they actually put together a filming date/time.  He still is committed to Dirt Music, and now Batman Dark Knight--and they will come first.

Me too---I loved Stacy's other surf movie--Riding Giants---it is more a documentary type movie, with real interviews from Greg Noll and all the original BIG WAVE surfers back then, and NOW--it is a great visual and informational too to watch.

IF this does come together---It will be a great show!!  We can always hope!!

I have the book, but haven't gotten to read it all the way through.  Dirt Music is slang for the folk type music in Aus. kind of blues/folk sit on the front porch and pick it by yourself type stuff.  either handed down or make it up as you go.
And Batman Dark Knight I believe is scheduled for 2007.

Can someone find the photo of Ennis in pajama bottoms standing looking like his feet are floating off the floor?  I know it's posted on this thread, but haven't found it.  I want to post it on the Performance thread, and it's time.  Could someone send me a url for it, if you know how to track it down?  Supermegathanks, Elle

Enjoy the movie!!  Be sure to report back on what you thought of it.
I'm gonna get the movie too, along with Ned Kelly and..well, any other Heath movies I don't already own  ;)

Me too---I loved Stacy's other surf movie--Riding Giants---it is more a documentary type movie, with real interviews from Greg Noll and all the original BIG WAVE surfers back then, and NOW--it is a great visual and informational too to watch.

IF this does come together---It will be a great show!!  We can always hope!!

I saw Riding Giants, and really liked it, before I let my Net Flix expire but I don't think I realized it was Stacy's movie. I must have seen it before I saw Dogtown and therefore the name didn't mean anything to me. I was thinking more about Laird Hamilton at the time but I'm glad to know that Stacey was involved.You know good trivia, Ranchgal!
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: tamarack on August 21, 2006, 06:45:26 pm
Oooh! thank you, thank you!!! I may just stare at that and not watch the movie!!

I'm buying up Heath movies, too, because I wasted so much time not knowing who he was. Imagine that! I watched Ned Kelly last week. Be sure to read the factual stuff they put on the screen at the end of the movie. I was shocked.

I also just watched A Knight's Tale and it was soooo good. I didn't realize it wasn't going to be a period piece. That one is definitely a do-over.

I, too, really liked Heath in Monster's Ball. I doubt that I'll ever watch the whole thing again, but I will keep watching his part.

And I finally found animated Dogtown Heath. I wasn't sure what ranchgal was talking about at first. Thanks, Lucise!

IF you look close---his forward foot is actually touching on the outside of the tennis shoe--he is actually moving forward just not raising his feet very much--so just the one foot is actually levitated--the other is taking wieght on the side like he's either shuffling or going to step up or out of the way letting her go first, it is sort of an off balance position though isn't it---oh well, gives more reason to look at the picture longer! LOL ;)

OMG!!!! I LOVE that picture from the Order--with the sunflowers--LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Thank you CMR107 for reposting it, never tire of seeing it.
AND for the one with his leaf tatoo and the beginning of OLD MAN RIVER showing--never tire of those either---hhhmmmm  maybe it isn't just the pictures?? LOL

A Moment To Remember

Author: Trista Moss (Courtesy of: www.1lovepoems.com)

A place we go
to let us know
that our love is always true
and that we will never be blue.

A memory on the edge of time
A place where we are so sublime,
A distant dream on a midnights eve
somewhere far from acknowledged leaves.

A time in which we fell deeper in love
just like to turtle doves.
We sang our songs and gave our token
to remember one single moment.

Well, I just watched Two Hands and it is one weird movie IMO. It is really hard to understand what they are saying a whole lot of the time because the accents are so thick. It isn't giving anything away to say that one of the characters is Jimmy's (Heath's) dead brother and that one of the best parts is a bank job gone awry. Heath is fine to look at, of course, and the coming attractions included The Brother's Grimm (which looks really good). That's about all there is to say about it. I can't imagine how bored I'd have to be to watch it again!

One thing that was said about it when it first came out in AUS, was a lot of Americans who watched it didn't really get it because it has segments that really run towards the Australian's sense of humor.   the Aussie's loved it, but it didn't ever get very well recieved in US.  So that may be true.

I loved Heath's Jacob in Brother's Grimm!! SIGH!!!

Part of the lyrics from To Where You Are
(sung by Josh Groban)

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are ...

I ordered The Brothers Grimm and Casanova at Amazon Marketplace today.  ;D

There were definitely times in the movie (Two Hands) that I know they were trying to be funny. Not necessarily laugh-out-loud funny, but just things that were ludicrous. And maybe it was because I was having to try so hard to understand what they were saying a lot of the time, or maybe because I was so nervous about what was going to happen to Heath's character, but it just didn't come across as funny. Apparently I wasn't the only one who didn't think so. But Heath was fine to look at. (Did I already say that?  ;) )

Lords of Dogtown was interesting. Not my favorite movie, but I'm glad I saw it. It's further proof of Heath's talent and range. He's only like 6 or 7 years older than the kids, but he looks a lot older here.

Yes, darlin girl, it's in the movie. I love an active Heath. I don't know if you noticed but in some of the more recent pics, you can tell he has been working out. He's lost the baby weight and seems to be a bit more musclular. That might just kill me.

I haven't watched Dogtown for several weeks but my guess for where that scene is would be during the part where they are trying out the skateboard with the new type of wheels. I know that Heath gets on the board at that point.

I once jokingly referred to a recent work ID (about two years back) photo taken of me as showing me with 'The Devil's Coiffure'--two strands of hair embarrassingly standing upright on either side of my balding pate (the joke, incidentally, makes more sense when understood to be alluding to the title of the 1973 George Kuchar film The Devil's Cleavage). I immediately thought of this same jokey reference when seeing Heath's picture here!

He never seems immaculately groomed. A real casual guy, apparently (just the way I like 'em!).

I've been getting them used, too (I assume that's what you mean) and they have been perfect. The last one that arrived Brothers Grimm which I am going to watch tonight, did have to be removed from some dogs mouth at some point, though, judging from the teeth marks in the case!

I ordered Dogtown, Unrated and Extended version, and The Four Feathers today, both, again, from Amazon Marketplace. I couldn't be buying them if I was paying full price for them.

Be sure to say what you think about Two Hands (did I mention that Heath looks fine in that one?  ;D)

Cross your fingers for me but I'm working on an "in" to meet His Majesty. There was a post somewhere back about Heath being considered for a role in an upcoming Stacey Peralta film (Lords of Dogtown). As it happens, Powell Peralta Skateboards is located here in Santa Barbara and one of the other board members of a non-profit I am associated with works there and knows Stacey. He is scooping out the rumors and if true, will try to make arrangements for me to see some of the filming and meet the star. Oh no-will I be able to stand myself?!

Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: ranchgal on August 29, 2006, 10:34:55 pm
That rumor got started during LOD filming, and has been floating around awhile, but at this time, NOT confirmed to be true, still just a wishful thinking type situation.   We can hope though.

I saw an actual imdb listing back in January or so that had him starring in a Stacey Peralta movie, playing some famous surfer. I think I saw it on Heath's page first, then followed the link to the movie's page. Then I looked later and it had all disappeared. Mysterious.

But good luck, Ruby! Tell him hi from me.

I work as a translator and editor for a market research company that works for food companies and today I was proofreading a document about mineral water and in the data collection and selection criteria of the respondents section she had written:

All have bought and consumed mineral water in-home during the last 3 months (watch out, there was a heath wave during this period)

I can't say I've ogled a teenager this much since I was ... well, in my 20s at least (blushing smiley, where ARE you?!).

BTW, a couple of days ago I bought an ice cream bar in a convenience store. As I made my selection, it occurred to me that whenever possible, I will always choose Heath. (Unfortunately, in that case there weren't any and I had to settle for Klondike.)

Yum um, I think I've been choosing those since before he was born. Is that possible?  I think the first time I ever went to Dairy Queen was when I moved to Missouri in 1983.  And I'm pretty sure I had one then.  So he was 4, the first time I had one.  :)

Well, now that you mention it, I may have been choosing them since before he was born, myself. I first went to a DQ in the mid-60s. I probably ate my first Heath candy bar at about the same time. They didn't introduce Heath ice-cream bars until some time later, but once they did, they were usually my first choice.

How did I know? Long before I'd seen BBM, or even Lords of Dogtown?

Over at Planet Heath, on the davecullen site--page 554---there are two links--I don't know if hotlinking is allowed here---one is for the Toronto Sun and one for the Brandon Sun

but the links take you to two WONDERFUL interviews from the Toronto film Fest and one poster found new pictures that are delicious---taken during an on liine interview--but no link to it.
Just in case anyone wants to read what Heath says about Candy and lots of life in general.
I really enjoyed reading them.

Ranchgal, linking is perfectly allowed here, and I went to both sites and couldn't find them.

Thanks for those links, yb and ranchgal.   :-*

From what he says there, it seems the purchase of the Hollywood home has yet to really affect where they're living.  He mentions only the Brooklyn residence.

It's hard to believe Matilda will be a year old next month.  I did the math, and she must have been conceived around January of 2005.  When did BBM filming wrap?  It seems like there was rather a long gap between it's filming and the premiere.

Matilda was conceived during the filming of Candy.  After Brokeback, Heath went on to finish Casanova before going back to Australia for the filming of Candy.

yb, thank you so much for the interview links!  :)


This is the first time I've seen the man himself comment on his upcoming "Joker" stint. "Darker and more sinister", huhn?  :-\

I'm looking forward to steeling myself and watching Candy, once it premieres here. (No info yet on when that might be. ) Sounds very hard to watch, but well worth it.

I suddenly had a horrible thought: What if Candy's so good - or at least Heath's role in it - that he gets nominated for an Oscar once more? (The "horrible" part of the thought would be for the Oscar, not the quality of the role.) Eeeep! I wouldn't want that crazy circus for him once more so soon. But another nomination is bound to happen, sooner or later.... They probably feel they owe him one.

I made some wrong assumptions about foreign films and the Academies nominations:
So the below post is in answer to my wrong assumptions:
Some rules are posted in my next post--I just scrapped this one!
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Mikaela on September 10, 2006, 03:32:19 pm
Oh, OK. I thought they distinguished "foreign" by means of the film's language, not the nationality per se?  Thinking of New Zealand's Return of the King and its 12 Oscars, including to various New Zealanders with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh in front.... but of course that film had a US studio backing and financing it. And no actors got any Oscars anyway, none were even nominated for that film - though Ian McKellen was nominated for one for "Fellowship of the Ring" and he's not American either.  ???
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: ranchgal on September 10, 2006, 04:05:18 pm
Here are a few more that might apply to Candy?!
a)  feature length (defined as over 40 minutes),

b)  publicly exhibited by means of 35mm or 70mm film, or in a 24- or 48-frame progressive scan Digital Cinema format (minimum native resolution 1280 by 1024 pixels, with pixel bit depth, color primaries, and image and sound file formats suitable for exhibition in commercial Digital Cinema
sites),

c)  for paid admission in a commercial motion picture theater in Los
Angeles County,

d)  for a run of at least seven consecutive days,

e)  advertised and exploited during their Los Angeles run in a manner
considered normal and customary to the industry, and

f)    within the awards year deadlines specified in Rule Three.

3.  Films that, in any version, receive their first public exhibition or distribution in any manner other than as a theatrical motion picture release will not be eligible for Academy Awards in any category.  (This includes broadcast and cable television as well as home video marketing and Internet transmission.)  However, ten minutes or ten percent of the running time of a film, whichever is shorter, is allowed to be shown in a nontheatrical medium prior to the film’s theatrical release.

4.  Eligibility is contingent on the receipt by the Academy of the following information on Official Screen Credits forms obtained from the Academy, to be signed by the film’s producer or distributor (unless waived by the Academy), which shall include:

a)   full, complete and authentic credits,

b)   the name of the Los Angeles County theater where the film has played, and

c)   the dates of the Los Angeles run.

5.  Eligibility for all awards shall first be determined by credits as they appear on the screen and/or as certified to the Academy by the producing companies, but final determination in any event shall be made by the Academy.  The Academy shall not be bound by any contract or agreement relating to the sharing or giving of credit and reserves the right to make its own determination of credit for purposes of award consideration.

6.  In the event of any dispute concerning credits, the Academy reserves the right to declare any achievement ineligible or, alternatively, to reject all claims to credit, list credits as being in controversy and withhold any award until the dispute is resolved.

7.  The alteration of an achievement by changing a picture from the version shown in Los Angeles County, upon which eligibility is based, shall subject such achievement to the risk of being declared ineligible by the Board of Governors.

8.  Motion pictures from all countries shall be eligible for the annual awards listed in Rule One Paragraph 3, as long as they satisfy the requirements of the other applicable rules, and contain English subtitles if released in a foreign language.

Here are the rules applying for this Oscar season beginning dates etc:

1.  The required Los Angeles County qualifying run (described in Rule Two Paragraph 2) must open between January 1, 2006 and midnight of December 31, 2006.

2.  A picture theatrically exhibited inside the U.S. prior to the Los Angeles qualifying run shall be eligible for submission provided the prior exhibition takes place in a commercial motion picture theater after January 1, 2005, and that no other form of public exhibition occurs through the completion of its Los Angeles run (previews and festivals excluded).

3.  A picture first theatrically exhibited outside the U.S. prior to the Los Angeles qualifying run shall be eligible for submission provided the prior exhibition takes place in a commercial motion picture theater after January 1, 2005, with the following further conditions:

a)   the film may not be exhibited publicly in any other medium for a three-month period following the commencement of its initial theatrical engagement, and

b)   after the three-month period, the film may play in non-theatrical forms provided they are outside the U.S.  (No film that is shown inside the U.S. in any nontheatrical form prior to its qualifying Los Angeles run shall be eligible for Academy Awards.)

I'd like to see that new tattoo properly. I think it's kinda odd for a tattoo. An almost black square with ?? of white in it? Like a negative of a tattoo.

Not that I would mind. Odd tattoo or not - he's one of the hottest things under the sky.
And the series is really beautiful. Thank you Meryl  :-*

Yes, there has been some talk about it. Personally, I don't think it looks like it is going to age well. Too much ink, IMO. There is also a fairly new one on his left forearm...some sort of a bird. I think there was a picture of it on this very thread! LOL

Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: RouxB on September 12, 2006, 08:41:38 pm
some stuff from the Casanova interview:

Q: Is it possible to say which of the three films you have here in Venice you preferred?
Heath Ledge: Well, they were all important for me (laughs). I mean obviously Brokeback Mountain was an obstacle I felt I could never climb, I could never defeat, that it was too tough but ultimately decided to do it. And with that I came out with a real sense of accomplishment which was something that I lacked in the movies that I’ve done before, I’d never felt that I’m accomplished anything. But then in both Brothers Grimm and Casanova there was a lot to enjoy. Brothers Grimm was the first time I’ve been let loose and use my kind of frantic energy and twitching and nervousness and clumsiness and Terry Gilliam is very good at allowing you to do that. He sets you free and creates an environment where you can feel safe enough to be bad – he lets you be bad and he lets you be big, which is fun. And with Lasse on Casanova he created such a lovely atmosphere on the set, with such a great group of people, cast and crew, that it really helped the film.

Q: You have a tattoo on your right arm which reads ‘Old Man River’ What does that mean?
Heath Ledge: It’s got a few meanings, they all have many meanings, and I usually get tattoos when I need to be reminded of something but the answer I’ll give you (laughs) is that it has nothing to do with the song, I just felt there was something eternal about the phrase and I feel that I’m at a stage in my life now where life is just about to really speed up and flash by and so I feel like I am on old man river paddling on a little row boat. That’s my answer for today (laughs). This one (points to left forearm) Is my sisters and my mum, Cate, Ashley, Olvia and Sally – yes ‘chaos’ or Sony when it’s upside down which I discovered when it was too late (laughs). and thought ‘oh great..’

Q: How do you feel about being suddenly acclaimed as such a big star?
Heath Ledge: Well, it doesn’t feel so sudden – it’s only been three days (laughs). I guess I’m hoping that it gives me more freedom of choice and I’m hoping it gives me more opportunities work with the directors I want to work with and that’s really it. But I’m also hoping that it doesn’t change my personal life.

Q: How do you choose your roles?
Heath Ledge: I don’t have that much forward planning about what I want to do in the future. But I guess once I find something, like if I’m doing Lords of Dogtown, I really like to flip the scale on the next job I’m doing. It’s almost like you are a switchboard in a sound booth and on one job you use one side and by the end of the job you are kind of exhausted by it, but you didn’t use any of the other side over here so you have to find something that will mean you using this half of your brain, energy wise, and that’s how Brokeback Mountain and Casanova complimented each other. Brokeback was excruciating and Casanova was drinking wine and eating pasta, it was like a holiday. But I’ve got no future plans, I don’t know what I’m going to do next as along as it scares me, as long as it’s something new, as long as I get to scare other people. As long as it’s an opportunity to evolve and grow as an actor and a person and challenge myself.

In the excellent fanfic 'Ennis' by Tom Forster (tforster), Ennis is described as having a sparse beard, keeping him from having to shave too often. Heath can obviously grow quite a full one when he chooses.

It works fine for me, thanks Jane, I'd never seen this.  But I don't think this is Toronto, for four reasons - Uno, there is Italian written on the wall behind them.  Due, because Ang is sitting there, and I remember seeing the Toronto Press Conference, and James Schamus talked to Ang from the dais over the phone, because Ang couldn't be there.  Tre, because Heath has his beautiful Italian look.  Quattro, because they are being more attentive and serious than I remember them being at the Toronto one.  What do others think?

Another article about Candy:

2006 CALGARY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
HARD CANDY
Jim Slotek
Sun Media
September 27, 2006 

It turns out heroin and sex have one thing in common, at least in the world of movie censors— penetration is a no-no.

“I did one scene they didn’t end up using,” says Heath Ledger of the junkie-romance Candy, which has its Alberta premiere September 28 at the Globe Theatre.

“It was near the end of the movie when I inject again (after being clean). There was a shot that we had, a tight shot of my arm, and I slipped the needle in and pulled back until you saw the blood, and then they went off it onto my face.

“I actually injected. It had water colour and sugar in it.

“And then we found out that was the difference between a (Mature) rating and an R. The penetration. When it looked like it was going in and it didn’t really go in, that was okay.”

Based on a best-selling novel by Australian Luke Davies, Candy is the story of a junkie poet (Ledger) and his artist girlfriend Candy (Abbie Cornish) and their descent.

Ledger was at TIFF last year with another tragic romance you might have heard of called Brokeback Mountain.
Ledger followed it with the romantic comedy Casanova.

“That’s why I had the energy to be dark again, because I’d been in Venice drinking too much wine and eating.”

By way of research, he says “Abbie and I went to this narcotics users association in Australia, and we met a guy who’d been addicted to heroin for, like, 20 years. He took a prosthetic arm with veins and blood bags and showed us how to find the vein.

“I’ve smoked pot before, and I know what it feels like to be high. But I’ve never been addicted to anything other than cigarettes.”

Candy is the first Australian movie Ledger has been in for eight years — a long time to bury his Aussie accent.

“I’m constantly looking for material in Australia … It’s so liberating to perform without an accent. But all the good writers and filmmakers in Australia get swept up and go to Hollywood.

“So we’re kind of left with the very fresh and up-and-coming filmmakers.”

Candy marked a hiatus of another sort as well. It was the last movie Ledger would do for 18 months — a paternity leave he breaks when he starts filming Todd Haynes’ Bob Dylan-inspired surrealist movie I’m Not There with Michelle Williams, his fiancee and mother of their 11-month-old daughter Matilda.

Come January, he starts playing the Joker, in Christopher Nolan’s next Batman film The Dark Knight.

“It’s definitely going to stump people. I think it’ll be more along the lines of how the Joker was meant to be in the comics, darker and more sinister.”

Heathbaby-

I traveled all the way to the east coast from CA and hoped to see you while in New York. Time got tight yesterday and I didn't make it to Brooklyn. Please forgive me for not stopping by as I know you were so looking forward to a glass of wine with me-as I was with you. I promise to make sure to set aside some time for you on my next visit. Give Meryl and Jenny hugs from me next time you see them and don't let Jenny drink before sings.

Holding you in my heart,

your Roux

I FINALLY saw "10 Things I Hate About You" on TV last night. It was cute. A definite teen movie but then I have a weakness for teen movies. Heath was cute although his hair wasn't my favorite still. Still, there were lots of great Heath smiles and mannerisms. What a kisser, though. He doesn't come off as a high school kisser...he looked way too experienced. Sigh...you can come kiss me, Heathbaby, any day of the week. LOL

I loved the running joke at the beginning with the guidance counselor writing slash! Or, if not slash, erotic female literature. I wish they had carried that through more of the movie.

My good friend and golfing buddy Sir Ralph Richardson once said that "acting is merely the art of stopping a large group of people from coughing," which means that our next guest could probably cure the common cold. Please welcome a fine stamp of a man on the rise, Mr Heath Ledger.

Meryl, the picture you posted on the previous page - where he's got a yin/yang symbol on his left shoulder - is that from a film? Or is that one of his actual real life tattoos? I've never noticed that one before and I almost can't believe it, given the BBM significance of that symbol! (Not to mention, is it really possible that I have seen so few pics of HL sans shirt that I've managed to not notice the symbol??  :o  )

Yes, it's from a film. Don't know which one, though. Heath does not have a yin/yang symbol as tattoo. I can't copy it, because the function is disabled on the website, but I give you the link:

http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/tattoo/celeb-ledger.htm (http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/tattoo/celeb-ledger.htm)

Scroll down, it's the third picture.

Here you can see both of his tattoos on his left and right shoulder (again, can't copy it):

Thank you! Turns out I must have seen a sufficient number of shirtless Heath pics after all (what a relief!  ;) ) because I do recognize all his RL tattoos, it seems.

I've wondered whether anyone's ever told him that KAOS is in fact Norwegian for "chaos"? I know that to him it stands for the four names, of course - but still  it gives me a little "huh?!?" feeling every time I see a pic of that.

I'm rather partial to that tattoo on his wrist since it's partly visible in the reunion.  8)

And I'm very partial to that first pic of him in your first link. Simple and beautiful, seemingly quiet and pensive and a little humble. I love it. One of my absolute favourites outside of BBM-verse. :)

Heath Supports ONE Aids T-shirt Project, By: ONE.org

Lindsay Rallies for ONE

August 16, 2006

ONE for all and all for ONE! LINDSAY LOHAN and a handful of concerned celebrities are taking a stand against AIDS and extreme poverty, lending their visages to the launch of the newest T-shirt from ONE, The Campaign to Make Poverty History -- and ET is behind the scenes at the star-studded photo shoot!

The new ONE T-shirt, available Sept. 11 only at Nordstrom, is made in Lesotho of 100% African cotton and will help consumers bring trade to an area of extremely high unemployment. Lesotho is one of the poorest countries in the world; it has one of the highest AIDS rates in the world, with 29% of the population infected. Every T-short sold donates $10 to the Apparel Lesotho Alliance to Fight AIDS (ALAFA) fund, which provides life-saving prevention and medicines to factory workers and their families in the region.

The new print campaign was shot by supermodel and photographer HELENA CHRISTENSEN and also includes the help of such stars as hot couple HEATH LEDGER and MICHELLE WILLIAMS, JIMMY FALLON, NAOMI WATTS, KATE BOSWORTH, ROSARIO DAWSON, DJIMON HOUNSOU, PETER SARSGAARD and GARY OLDMAN.

EDUN, the socially conscious clothing brand created by New York clothing designer ROGAN GREGORY, ALI HEWSON and ONE anchor BONO, is collaborating with the U2 frontman's charity organization to launch the new T-shirt.

In the url, it is titled correctly, but in the preview the pic was titled with Heath Ledger  :laugh:
This is Robbie Coltrane, who I like very much. He is priceless as Fitz in "Cracker" - but he sure does not have any similarity with Heath.

In connection with the ebay auctions for the BBM wardrobe, many new pics have shown up. Here's a link for those who haven't seen yet:

I finally rented The Order-didn't hate it, didn't love BUT Heath is, by far, the lovliest that I've ever seen him. I don't know if it's this crazy love or it the props go to him but I find him so believable in his dramatic roles. It's hard to be objective and separate the actor from the acting but I see so much in HAL.

Interesting idea - can anyone find a non-BBM photo of Heath where he has an Ennis look about him.  I'm roving through my mental collection and I can't think of any.  I can remember some moments in films where he says, "Hunh," or does the little head shake, but not where he reallly looks like Ennis.  Can anyone come up with one?

But what does Ennis look like? Heath seemed to look like a different person with each change of scene.

Judge for yourself.

I completely agree that Ennis looks different in various scenes, and yet, you know it's Ennis in all scenes - not a look-alike, or a relative... However, you cannot deny that there is NO Ennis in any of Heath's other pics. All we have (well those of us who LOVE Ennis) is in this movie of ours, cause we're never ever gonna see any more of Ennis. Heath did such a masterful job of portraying Ennis, that we have only BBM to admire the looks of the character. I've said it before, Jake/Jack fans are lucky - they have lots of other sources of images of their icon because he looks like Jake in all his movies (just saw Jarhead last night - [didn't much care for it])

I'm a BIG fan of Ennis (as many of you already know) not so much of Heath - the two are very seperate entities - guess that's why this is my first post on this thread ....

I tend to agree with you Roland, I am much the same.....I absolutely adore Ennis, but even though I am an Aussie like Heath, I am not a huge fan of his. When I see photos of Heath, I cant see any of Ennis in him, yet when I see Jake, I always see Jack there too.

It is said that Heath was spotted in "Monster's Ball" and was immediately identified as "Ennis" - so maybe you will find echoes of him there. Others reckon that Heath  virtually "channelled" Ennis so maybe that's why he has reverted to being just Heath!  I see echoes of Ennis in the way Heath moodily fidgets in interviews, clearly uncomfortable at the intrusion into his personal space.

Well I don't. Just cause Heath is insecure, Ennis is never, no way ever fidgety, or gigly or wide grin smiley. I will admit to one tiny resemblance that I've seen Heath do, that was present (and very endeating) in Ennis - that would be his shake of the head in the negative while talking. But when it comes to looks and manerisms - they don't even seem related (Heath & Ennis) Not even 3rd generation cousins. I will be giving Brothers Grimm a try this weekend though - I like Matt Damon too.

I also don't see Heath in Ennis-Ennis is just Ennis. I am drawn to Heath because of Ennis-because he "made" Ennis for me. Back towards the beginning of this thread there is a good discussion of the Heath/Ennis duality-with pictures!

And a poll.

Unexpected Heath Sighting.

If your Friday morning paper includes Life magazine, there is a page of celebrities in Halloween costumes. One turned out to be Heath (identified as "Starring in Candy") as a sort of World War I flying ace. Totally unrecognizable to me in the goggles and goofy pilot's cap--but I bet Leslie would have recognized him!  ;D

Some good Heath/Michelle/Matilda footage on VH-1 "20 Cuties Celebrity Babies". Matilda was #3 - behind Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (ugh) and Preston Federline (ugh ugh ugh).

Happy 1st birthday Ms. Ledger!

Yes he does look great smiling........

Just read an article in an Aussie weekly magazine about Heath.....apparently when she got pregnant, he promised her, that she could further her career, and he would become a "house dad" and look after Matilda....she is now filming her 5th film since Brokeback.....

What a great bloke, and a great dad.....

Heath sure makes us work for our love! One of the things I admire about him is his choice to limit his exposure-the downside of course being we get so little of him in the media. I love it that he doesn't pop-up in every entertainment rag and tv show out there but, conversely, mourn the lack of fan fodder. I guess we'll just have to keep our noses to ground to sniff out what we can on the lovely and talented Mr. Ledger.

What a great way to explain it......yes, Heath doesnt look great in all in his pics (like jake does)....Heath is shy and withdrawn (quite the opposite to Jake)....but he does have something special about him......I often wonder, what he thought, when he knew he had to do some of those risque scenes in Brokeback...

Hes a great bloke.....and a mighty fine actor....

Tu dit que M. Ledger poop de glace Heathbar crunch. Si c'est vrai, je voudrais manger le poo. Et tous les autres produits de M. Ledger.

Et aussi, j'aime beaucoup des pantalons d'orange mais c'est vrai, pas chacun semble bon dans le pantalon orange. Tant pis. Nous pouvons toujours rêver, ne pouvons pas nous. Oui?

Des pantalons oranges sont une grosse abomination sartorielle, meme sur le corps de Heath.

J'ai pensee plusieurs fois que Heath est un Aussie aussi.  Ces deux mots qui se rassemblent m'amuse.

Les pantalons oranges sont beaux, mais pas si beaux que les mains et les pieds de Heath.  Ceux ci me faitent completement schmoopee.

I love your guys with your French posts and all. So funny.  :)

I've just gotten hold of "10 things I hate about you" so that will be one more Heath film ticked off on my list. Squee!  8)

I sure hope it's better than Lords of Dogtown which wasn't my cup of coffeee nor piece of cherry cake. Not since Ned Kelly have I wanted more desperately to jump into the film with a pair of sharp scissors to try out my hairdressing abilities on monsieur Ledger. (Erm...not that the hairstyle is all that I notice, but somehow, sometimes it can get awfully distracting.... :blush:)
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: MaineWriter on November 05, 2006, 09:04:46 am
"10 Things" was sorta silly, but Heath is a good kisser. I posted a few screen caps in this thread a while back.

In the movie, he is supposed to be from Australia, since obviously, he hadn't learned to do an American accent yet. They did the same ridiculous thing with Olivia Newton-John in Grease. Somehow, Heath being from Australia and living in Seattle made more sense to me than OJN in Grease, but whatever...

While the hairstyle in 10 Things didn't bother me, the color did. I wanted to get out a bottle of Miss Clairol. I like him best as a blond.

Eep, Dottie, I think that's one of the silliest funny Heath pics I've ever seen. LOL.

Just the opposite of that:  Milli, I really really like your soulful manip. It includes my favourite Heath picture outside of BBM.... and HANDS!!


So........I watched "10 things I hate about you". Here follows some rambling comments:

I don't thnk I've ever seen many films run out of all steam half-way like that one did. During the first half I was snickering continually at the juvenile total over the top-ness of it all, - at Patric's bad-ass attitude, Kat's total bitchiness, her father's behaviour, all the weird posers and airheads at school, and not least Alison Janney's smut-writing counsellor. She was just the perfect good-natured parody of more than one of my het- and slash-writing fanfic'ing friends. But then everything just stopped, and kept running on schmoopy empty prom-romance for far too long. Never mind though - there were so many close-ups of Heath smiling during that film. And *those eyes* when he's smiling......  Mmmmmmmm. **happy sigh** I was surprised at his singing voice...it was more high-pitched than I'd have expected.  All in all, a lighthearted and quite entertaining film, I'm glad I got around to watching it.

You should know, they asked him to pitch it higher, and over the top it some when he was singing, so he did it for the production, it is his real voice, but he was playing with it.

The pictures of the Candy screening in NY, are and will be posted up at the gallery on HLC too, without the watermarks,  part of them are already up, and couple of them are simply awesome, they really show off his jawline!!

Interview with Heath about Candy and loving Brooklyn




THE 'CANDY' MAN
Ledger dishes on Cornish, heroin and loving Boerum Hill

Wanna new drug?: Boerum Hill-based Heath Ledger (above) plays a poet strung out on drugs and his love for Candy (played by Abbie Cornish) in Neil Armfield's new film.


By Lisa J. Curtis
GO Brooklyn Editor

Heath Ledger's role in Neil Armfield's new film "Candy" was a chance for the acclaimed actor to play a character whose lifestyle is the polar opposite of the Australian transplant's reality amidst the leafy streets of Brooklyn.

While Ledger and his girlfriend Michelle Williams appear to be a picture-perfect family when wheeling their 1-year-old daughter Matilda around the streets of Boerum Hill, in his role of Dan, Ledger goes into a greasy haired, downward spiral fueled by his addiction to heroin. Although clearly smitten with his girlfriend Candy, the couple's love can't save them from the ravages of drug abuse and the humiliations they subject each other to in order to feed their smack habits.

Ledger told GO Brooklyn that he found out Williams was pregnant with their daughter a month before he had to film the devastating scene when Dan and Candy lose their child.

"It wasn't very nice," recalled Ledger, saying that he's uncertain that he would have made the choice to co-star in the film again had he known he was going to be a dad. The 27-year-old thespian, sporting a grandfatherly knitted cardigan, said that starting a family "changes the person you are," but added, "I didn't immediately get an urge to be a voice in an animated film."

Ledger told reporters at a press conference at the W hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday that he agreed to make "Candy," in part, because it was an opportunity for him to make his first film in eight years in his native country and use the accent which he has hidden in American feature films ("Brokeback Mountain," "Monster's Ball," "The Patriot").

The plot of "Candy" alternates between euphoric, enormously sensual love scenes and harrowing moments when the couple debase themselves. Although it's assumed that the angst-ridden scenes are exhausting to perform, Ledger claims filming love scenes is not as easy as it looks either.

"There is nothing attractive about that process at all," he revealed. "Even if [the other actor] is an attractive person."

In this case, Ledger's on-screen love interest was Cornish, 24, who has been garnering notoriety for reportedly having an affair with her "Stop Loss" co-star, Ryan Phillippe, which may have been the nail in the coffin of his marriage to Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon.

"There's nothing organic about [filming love scenes]," assured Ledger. "The grips, gaffersand focus pullers are looking at your butt. It's so nerve-wracking - very uncomfortable."

Presumably, there will be a lot less lovemaking in Ledger's next project, playing the Joker in Christopher Nolan's Batman film, "The Dark Knight."

"Somewhere inside of me, I knew instantly what to do with [this character]," said Ledger, who signed onto "The Dark Knight" despite the detail that it does not yet have a completed script. "I knew instantly what to do with it. I didn't have to search. I have a plan of attack."

Ledger said that when he performs a role, he enjoys a bit of improvisation, which didn't match the expectations of "Candy" director Armfield.

"Neil wanted to do a lot of rehearsal because he has an extensive theater background," recalled Ledger. "Abbie and I were the naughty kids in class who sat in the back. We didn't want to give too much in rehearsal. It was slightly superstitious of us both."

It's clear that going with his gut is working for the actor. As his career and that of Williams continue to gain traction, it means the couple's logging more miles in the air and spending more time in Los Angeles. The couple recently purchased a home there, but Ledger downplays the acquisition, calling it a "one-bedroom treehouse" and "just a place to drop our bags."

He maintains that his family is committed to keeping their Brooklyn ZIP code.

"I like everything [about Brooklyn]," he said. "I adore it. I love my neighbors and the coffee shop down the road.

"We're left there to live," he continued. "That's the thing in New York City: you're protected by numbers in a way - particularly Brooklyn. People are just trying to get from A to B."

Ledger said his Boerum Hill neighbors leave him and his family to have a normal life. Well, as normal of a life as the next generation of Hollywood royalty can expect to have.

Where the hell did Michelle get this dress from? Alma? A left-over from BBM wardrobe auction?

Two days ago I read an article about her in a magazine. She was praised as an icon of elegance, clotheswise. But I didn't like one of the dresses they showed her in.
And they got things a bit mixed. They wrote (paraphrasing): "Michelle Williams starred formerly in 'Dawson's Creek', and is today best known for her role in Brokeback Mountain, for which she received an Oscar; same as her companion Heath Ledger.

New order

Actor Heath Ledger isn't joking about his career path

BY JOE NEUMAIER

The addiction drama 'Candy' gives Heath Ledger another serious role to savor.
Heath Ledger is still young - 27 - and has done barely a dozen films since coming to America from Perth, on the Australian coast, in the late 1990s. But audiences can be forgiven for thinking there are two Heath Ledgers: the pretty but unpromising kid with the Bob Geldof-circa-1985 hair who starred in "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999) and "A Knight's Tale" (2001), and the mature young father who truly broke out in 2005, and, in "Brokeback Mountain," gave an Oscar-nominated, heartbreaking performance.
It's a revelation that isn't lost on Ledger, who despite his newfound gravity begins an interview by jokily pretending to go out the window when a reporter walks in. Then sitting down and rolling a cigarette, he discusses his new film, "Candy," opening Friday, and mulls a career change others might wait decades for - and which is about to include playing Batman's archvillain.

"When I was making those [early] roles, I was really youthful and careless and I wasn't attached to anything," he says. "I didn't even really care about performance - it was silly and commercial, and I would [have felt] way too concerned with myself if I took it seriously. Where the film was shot was more appealing to me than what it was.

"And so it was just a reflection of a time of my life. From 18 to 22, I was alone, living in L.A. with a bunch of friends, partying. It was more a direct reflection of that. I don't know if I knew, or cared to know, what I was capable of back then. And I guess I'm just starting to, for lack of a better word, care more."

And that, it seems, has made all the difference. Ledger - who started his career on Australian TV in his teens - first gave intimations of deeper things in "Monster's Ball" (2001), in a small role as Billy Bob Thornton's ill-fated son, but that film's turnaround belonged to Halle Berry. Four years later came "Brokeback," a film several actors had passed on during years of development. Ang Lee's movie, starring Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as ranch hands who fall in love, spawned a minor cottage industry of jokes, but it earned Lee a Best Director Oscar and was one of 2005's most critically respected films. And Ledger was the dark horse in the Best Actor race, ultimately losing to Philip Seymour Hoffman for "Capote."

"When I started to watch some of the films I'd done, I realized I was doing movies that I might not actually want to see," Ledger says with a small smile. "I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices - it reflects on who I am. So I became more respectful of that.

"While I was doing press for 'Knight's Tale,' I felt like a product ... and it felt like a 'Here for a good time, not a long time' kind of thing. It dawned on me that I was sitting at this junction, and these choices would dictate my future, and I just put the brakes on it."

So rather than do more empty action like "The Four Feathers" (2002) and "The Order" (2003), Ledger got serious (even last year's romp "Casanova" was a step up). In "Candy," which he filmed prior to "Brokeback's" release, he plays a young Aussie whose heroin addiction is also taken up by his girlfriend (Abbie Cornish) before both are nearly destroyed by it. The gritty indie film's depiction of drug use is tough instead of bleak chic, more "The Man With the Golden Arm" than "Trainspotting."

"It was like I diverted off the map and took a back road to the place I wanted to get to," Ledger says.

The actor, who'd previously dated Heather Graham and Naomi Watts, met his fiancee, Michelle Williams, on the set of "Brokeback" (she also was Oscar-nominated for it). They now live in Brooklyn, and being a dad - their daughter, Matilda, just turned 1 - and living in New York instead of L.A. has helped ground him, he says.

He'll be seen in Todd Haynes' upcoming "I'm Not There," and he's starting to perfect his cackle for his role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight," director Christopher Nolan's followup to 2005's "Batman Begins." Christian Bale will again be the Caped Crusader.

The Joker was last played onscreen by Jack Nicholson in 1989's "Batman," but Ledger isn't white-faced when he considers the challenge.

"I think [getting the role] was tougher for other people to comprehend than it was for me," Ledger says, giving a crooked grin as he smokes out a window. "I'm looking forward to it. A part of me feels like I've been warming up to [playing the Joker] for years. In 'The Brothers Grimm,' [director] Terry Gilliam helped me put on a sort of clown act and adjust to that sort of pace. And I feel it's something within me I know how to do. I like putting on a mask. It'll be dark and sinister and exciting.

"Not being a huge comic book fan, and not one to really follow comic book movies, I'm relaxed about it," he adds. "The kids in the neighborhood are on to me, though."

The Dark Knight: Heath Ledger Talks Joker
The Brokeback star plans to have the last laugh.
by Scott Collura
November 7, 2006 - Heath Ledger isn't very scary in person. In fact, he's a soft-spoken sort who at times seems almost intimidated by the gaggle of reporters who surround him at press events. Still, the Brokeback Mountain star is set to play the potentially very scary role of the Joker in the soon-to-be-shooting Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight. IGN caught up with Ledger earlier today in Manhattan, where he's promoting his new film Candy. And, of course, we lobbed the Joker questions at him like Batman would lob batarangs at his arch foe. For starters, the actor explained that he does not plan on taking inspiration from the Jack Nicholson version of the character from the original Batman film -- and neither is he anxious at the prospect of following in Nicholson's shoes.

"If he was drowning in a pool it would be [scary]," the actor cheekily says. "I'm obviously not going for the same thing he went for. That would just be stupid, and it's also two very different styles of directors and filmmaking. Tim Burton did a more fantastical kind of thing and Chris Nolan is doing the nitty-gritty kind of handheld realism thing. I love what he did and it is part of why I want to do it, and I remember seeing Batman and thinking how much fun it would be to put on that mask and to attempt to do something along those lines. But it would obviously just be murder if I tried to imitate and pointless to the project."

Ledger says that even though The Dark Knight is in preproduction and has yet to see a finished script for the film, he does have a good idea of what his Joker will be like.

"You know, I want it to be a very sinister kind of thing," he says. "It's so early that I'm trying to leave it open at this point and I don't want to be glued down to any one idea. … I've been kind of trying to delay my commitment to the preparation process on that because I'm just trying to extend my holiday. I definitely have an image in my head and I definitely have something up my sleeve."

   

Heath Ledger in Candy



With the sequel set to start shooting in early 2007 (with a 2008 release date), Ledger confirms that the picture is next on his slate. He also adds that he has little experience with the world of comic books, and prefers to keep it that way, though he has been provided with one particular comic to help him prepare for the part: Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's seminal The Killing Joke.

"I think that's kind of helping me a little bit, the fact that I was never really a fan of [comics]," says the actor. "I didn't exactly despise comic books or comic book movies but I was never really one to read them that much. I never sought out the films too often but I would enjoy them if I sat down and watched them. So because of that I really feel that I'm not carrying as much pressure. … The Killing Joke is the one that was handed to me. It's really good. So I think [the film] is obviously going to be a bit [about] the beginning of the Joker. I guess [The Killing Joke] explains a little bit of where he's from, but not too much. From what I've gathered, there isn't a lot of information about the Joker and it's kind of left that way."

      


The soon-to-be Clown Prince of Crime can't comment on any of the technical details of the film yet, as he doesn't know what his character will look like or how closely the film will hew to the Joker of the comic books in terms of visuals. But Ledger does say that he's already been introduced to the very thorough and detailed technical side of making a film like The Dark Knight.

"I did do a 3-D kind of image-scan kind of thing, but I don't know what they're doing with it or where they're taking it," he laughs. "I had this like Bat-truck turn up at my house. It was just this massive truck and inside it had all these gadgets and all these cameras that zoom around you up and down and instantly project a three-dimensional image of you. I've never used anything high-tech like that before in a film and I felt like I was in the back of the Knight Rider truck or something!"

As for the question of why he's playing a super-villain while most of his fellow Hollywood leading men are looking to play superheroes, Ledger explains that he has an edict fanboys have come to know as "no flights, no tights."

"It's just the tights and undies that I have a problem with, and the boots," he smiles. "I would just feel stupid and silly. I couldn't pull it off and there are other people who can perfectly, but I just couldn't take myself seriously. And I feel like this is an opportunity for me to not take myself too seriously, and for some reason I just gravitated towards [the Joker] and I knew I had something to give to him. And I just instantly had an idea of how to do it."

That sounds like what he said about Ennis, so I think we might be in for something good.  8)

Thanks for the articles. Good reading, although I get a little bit peeved on Heath's behalf when he's there to promote Candy and all they seemingly asked about was the Joker.

I acknowledge what he's saying about that role, and I'm sure he's telling the truth or at least part of the truth concerning the attraction of the role.....  I just can't manage to be especially enticed by the prospect of him acting that kind of comic role, which isn't my cup of tea at all. At least I hope they won't make him eat his "no tights, no flights" wow.

Then again.........   ;)

You and me both, sister.

I tell ya, he reminds me of my eldest brother (the heroic one) in so many ways, it's almost frightening.  To see the two of them together would be a real trip.  And/or would really freak me out.

This is the quintessential Ennis for me. Love and lean, very young, vulnerable and scared. Heath portraying that is what sealed the deal for me. I don't do the heart trob thing but Heath (and Jake) is that constant reminder of what the story is to me. It isn't that matinee idol thing-he takes great pictures and not so great pictures, he has behaved badly, been misunderstood and been superbly wonderful. It is all and only what he did to me and for me as Ennis delMar

Philosophically I hate the whole Heathen/Gyllenhallic thing because it feels like a competition-the reason my avatar is, and will always be, both of them. And then I hate it more because we all know who wins the fanatics prize and I get sorry for the lovely Ledger because I don't think he gets his due. I am a champion of the underdog-especially one as talented as this.

I am a lover and appreciator of Gyllenhaal. I am a HEATHEN-bold and in caps.

Good eye, Chrissi.  That picture of him standing with Ron Howard was at the NY premiere of Candy?  I'm not a very formal person at all, but I'm surprised he wouldn't dress up a little more for something so significant.

I sometimes notice repeats of Heath's clothes too.  The sweater with the horizontal stripes that he wore on Oprah, for example, I've seen in other photos.  He seems like a real person, with a real closet he actually pulls his clothes out of.

Yep, was from Candy premiere. We have some more of them, coupla pages ago (page 84). Here's one of them posted there:

On page 84 are also two links to gettyimages and wireimages, where you can see all of the pics from the event.

Yep.

And I absolutely love, love, love that Heath seems to like horizontal stripes. Many pics of him in different t-shirts or sweaters with horinzontal stripes. I am a complete sucker for them as long as I can think back.  Friends of mine tease me about 3/4 of my wardrobe being t-shirts or sweaters with horizontal stripes. And it's true  :). I can't resist them.

LOL---most of the cowboys I know/knew back in the 60s through the  80s actually wore more original "old spice" than anything else---that and Aqua Velva, simply cause every small store carried them, easy to find.
I always loved English Leather---but my guy was an Old Spice man so I learned to adjust.
Good luck with the search.

SPOILER!!   (Monsters Ball)

OMG!
 
    I turned on Monsters Ball about 30 minutes into it.    Geez was that Ennis or what?     Then at the part where he is fighting with his father in the living room,  he even uses the infamous Ennis "Hunh" line.    "Aren't you gonna saying anything?  Hunh?"     It ran a chill up my spine.    Then of course, because I hadn't seen the movie before,  I had to see our beloved Ennis die again!     ARRRGGG!      :'(

   The last time I tried to watch Heath in a movie was in "The Patriot".   Why do I keep seeing him Die?    Wait a minute,  I'll just go watch 10 things I hate about you.    A happy Heath ending there at least!    LOL

A Knight's Tale has a happy ending too, David.

And here's a bit of happy news:


Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams are getting married, it has been claimed.


2006-11-28 13:08:03 -

The Australian actor was spotted picking up a marriage license with his 26-year-old actress fiancé - who is the mother of his one-year-old daughter Matilda - in Brooklyn.

The pair met while they were filming gay cowboy film 'Brokeback Mountain' and recently bought a townhouse together in the New York district.

Representatives for the couple have refused to comment on wedding rumours.

Heath - who will play The Joker in the next Batman movie 'The Dark Knight' - has previously gushed about how grateful he is to have a family, saying Michelle and their child make him happier than being a movie star.

He said: "I'm incredibly grateful to be a successful actor, and it kind of blows me away sometimes.

"But it's actually less about waking up and thinking how lucky I am to have this family, right now.

"That, for me, blows my mind. A billion times more that anything else. It's like, everything else? Who gives a f***?

I'm here to make a confession. And here amougst the Heathens is the place to do it I think.

Never really thought much about Heath until I saw BBM and was blown away by his performance (no Oscar - pah!). He'd never really caught my eye in anything else before this though.

Even after BBM I have to say that my eye was far more easily drawn to Jake, who with the dark hair/blue eyed thang going on is definately the type of chap to turn my head, and I've liked his performances in other things.

However, I've watched a couple of interviews with Heath, from links on various BBM sites, and I have to say he is certainly growing on me. He seems a very genuine, sensitive and emotionally intelligent young man. My interest is definately piqued.

Thank you for listening.

Actually, we've been having mild weather here in Maine....supposed to get to 57 today! And au naturel...don't you have a hot tub (big evil wink!).

To keep this remotely on topic, here's a Candy pic:

Perhaps I could fire up the hot tub...  We may need to unwind a bit after this heavy film.  Here's another poster:

Jeff that is from the movie "Monsters Ball".

I never knew who Heath was until BBM.   Then I saw him in "10 things I hate about you".  that was cute.

Then I watched "The Patriot"  UGH!   to see him die in that was just as painful as seeing Jack die in BBM.

So I figured I'd cheer myself up by watching Heath in "Monsters Ball".

I'm here to make a confession. And here amougst the Heathens is the place to do it I think.

Never really thought much about Heath until I saw BBM and was blown away by his performance (no Oscar - pah!). He'd never really caught my eye in anything else before this though.

Even after BBM I have to say that my eye was far more easily drawn to Jake, who with the dark hair/blue eyed thang going on is definately the type of chap to turn my head, and I've liked his performances in other things.

However, I've watched a couple of interviews with Heath, from links on various BBM sites, and I have to say he is certainly growing on me. He seems a very genuine, sensitive and emotionally intelligent young man. My interest is definately piqued.

Thank you for listening.

You know.  Ang is pretty darm smart.    Just look at Ennis's hats.    In the beginning of the film Ennis has a new crisp Cowboy hat on.    As the movie goes on, his hats become dirtier and more droopy.

I think this is not just to indicate his financial status, but his emotional status.   Not that he is dirty and droopy, but emotionally worn out and beat.

This is one of the few smiles in the movie.

I saw Candy yesterday. Heath is very good, as is his co-star Abby Cornish, but the movie itself is very depressing. Is there anyway to make a movie about heroin addiction cheery? I don't think so. I am glad I saw it, but once is enough for this film.

The book has more lighter moments than the film, so I guess you will have to brace yourself for it; but it's so worth it, not just for Heath's performance but also for excellent performances from all actors/actresses.

And he is very good in this dramatic role.

In this movie, he seems very much like himself. First, he has his Australian accent, so he sounds like the man we have heard in all those dozens of interviews. Second, he has lots of Heath mannerisms. There was even a scene where he put his hand on his hip, arm akimbo in that famous "teapot" pose.  Last, his facial expressions were all very familiar.

Quick review of Candy:  I agree with Leslie.  It's a tough genre, drug movies.

They're happy for the first 30 seconds, and then it's the inevitable descent into hell.  The tag line:  more is never enough.  Sums it up.

Heath as Dan is different in that his face and mouth especially are more relaxed than Ennis, and more expressive.  You can't take your eyes off him.

"Enjoy", RouxB.

Otherwise a bundle of very random thoughts crossed my mind. Like, I think Heath looks waaay better with short hair. Some scissors his way at once, please!  (::blush:: Not that it's any of my business.... ::) )  And, I think this is the first time since the BBM premiere I've seen images from this kind of ceremonies where Michelle hasn't been glued happily to his side. There really seems to be an empty space when she's not there. Is she away filming or something?

And Daniel Radcliffe.....now I totally see why people tend to get him mixed up with Elijah Wood.  ::)

Something I noticed in the speeches at the awards.....the way they pronounced "Gyllenhaal".....

Heath and Eric Bana pronounced the "G" like in "good".....I always thought the "G" was pronounced like a "J" as in "just"......

Anyone know for sure, which one is right?

Well, Jake himself says JILL-en-hall, so I'm going to go with that.  It's rather odd that Heath would mispronounce his name, though.

Heath gets an award for his performance in BBM.  I saw it on TOB.  Imagine winning an award for not playing someone famous.  ;)

The L’Oréal Paris 2006 AFI (Australia Film Institute) Awards were announced over two gala nights at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre on Wednesday 6th December and Thursday 7th December.

The International Award for Best Actor went to Heath Ledger for his portrayal of a gay cowboy in the film Brokeback Mountain, whilst the International Award for Best Actress went to Rachel Griffiths for her role in the long running series Six Feet Under. Dion Beebe received the International Award for Excellence in Filmmaking for his work on Memoirs of a Geisha.

For those of you who are not familiar with the actress Magda Szubanski, she is a fine actress (she played the part of the farmers wife in Babe).....she also plays the part of Kath in a comedy duo, (Kath and Kim).....if you notice the red around her mouth in this pic......when she came on as a presenter at the awards, she said in her comedy routine that she got a "Heath (heat) rash" after kissing Heath Ledger on the red carpet......the cameras showed Heath in the audience having a laugh about that....when he came up to collect his readers choice award, he made reference to her comment and said "I got a similar rash when I was with Jake".....

The thing I liked about Heath, was that even though there were some quips made about Brokeback, he still managed to show that he was not embarrassed by the film (and he should not be), and took it all with a good sense of humour and respect for the film....when he accepted the International award, he thanked Annie Proulx for "writing an unbelievably beautiful story".....

All in all though, he stood out in the crowd.....even though he did look a bit uncomfortable with the whole thing....I think we sometimes forget that he is only 25 (hes still not more than a kid), and when I see him like this, affirms just how good an actor he is to be able to do the roles that he has done.

Thank you for the YouTube link.

I do believe there's an utter inflation in film award ceremonies. Each new one seems like a copy of the last, and it just keeps looking shallower and shallower to me. It must feel pretty empty in the end to the actors who travel around to all those shows, however much it's bringing them publicity and however much it's signalling recognition of their work. The films and actors keep doing the same rounds, the glamour looks more strained by the minute IMO, and even the jokes get recycled (Heath now has taken over Jake's "him and me made out and a daughter resulted" joke). Much as I thought I'd never say that, I do hope this was the end of the BBM award nominations.

Heath is such a dear though, fidgeting as usual and looking more than a little unprepared for an acceptance speech he surely must have been expecting to make.....

No, it is because Jake likes to put himself in front of the camera. And Heath took a year off to play dad to Matilda. So new Heath pictures are relatively rare at the moment.

At any rate, it's the quality that counts, not the quantity!  ;)


Of course, loads and loads of pics of a very high quality is the best of all. And Jake sure has provided his fans with that. I've more than once wondered just *how* many photoshoots he has done in hisl young life - probably one a week to judge from the multitude and variety of available posed pics. Plus..... he's making himself more available for being photographed generally, and doesn't always rund from the paps the way Heath does. It all adds up to much more Jake pics than Heath pics being available. And more posts as a consequence.

I can't remember what I voted in that poll. In all likelihood, "Both equally". But if I *had* to choose..... yeah. I'm afraid it would be Jake.  :-X

Oh, a Heath/Jake debate! I love Jake Gyllenhaal, I fantisize about Jake Gyllenhaal but the fanaticism that surrounds him completely turns me off. I used to frequent JJJ but now I can't stand it. I am a Heathen because of his talent. It has always been Ennis for me. Jake is also talented but I think for his followers it's more about the pretty. Heath is sometimes pretty, sometimes not. Sometimes eloquent sometimes not. Sometimes cordial and outgoing sometimes not. He is a real person, in my eyes, not a Hollywood property. That is what I am drawn to.

I would sometimes like to see more media around him but most times not.

I am an Ennis man, myself. And I will always appreciate and honor the incredibly talented actor who brought that weathered ranch hand so compellingly to life.

But I wouldn't exactly describe myself as a Heathen, as I don't see much of Ennis in Heath outside the context of BBM. I check back here from time to time to update myself on the cool photos and info, but Ennis remains elusive and ever so far away. I have realized that I have to look within my own heart to even begin to heal that broken man.

Details on the wedding:

HOLLYWOOD star Heath Ledger and actress girlfriend Michelle Williams were among 180 guests at his father's waterfront Perth wedding.
The couple, with the bridal party, arrived in a vintage stretch Dodge at Aqua Viva event centre on the Nedlands foreshore shortly before 5pm.

The Swan River venue was a closely-guarded secret for the wedding reception for Kim Heath and his mystery bride.

Security patrolled the jetty leading to the restaurant from mid-afternoon yesterday but the only onlookers were a group of surprised fishermen cleaning a giant samson fish.

Ledger, wearing a dark suit on a scorching Perth day, looked relaxed and even stopped to take photos outside the restaurant.

There was no sign of the couple's year-old daughter Matilda.

Surprised kitchen staff, who were not told who the reception was for, peered out a back door as the VIP party arrived.

Manager Christian Tinelli confirmed that the venue was fully booked on Friday night, but he was unable to give details of the bash.

"We do have a wedding tonight,'' he said on Friday, taking a break from a busy week of preparations.

"We can seat 180 and they'll be taking the whole venue.

"It's a sit-down dinner but we can't divulge any more.''

The venue was such a closely guarded secret that even the guests were kept in the dark.

After the wedding, they were whisked to the secret location by bus.

The groom's Hollywood heart-throb son was seen jetting into Perth this week with Williams, his Brokeback Mountain co-star, and their baby daughter.

According to its website, Acqua Viva offers a choice of seafood and meat dishes including pan-fried salmon fillet, grilled pink snapper and herb-crusted lamb rack.

That not wearing white is an etiquette thing that is pretty much on it's way out. Like brides wearing white, bridesmaids not wearing white, bridesmaids wearing the same dress and only female bride "attendants" or only male grooms(wo)men. My mother wore white to my brother's wedding and the bride was in no danger of having the attention drawn away from her ;)

If you look at the difference between Heath's shirt which is white, and Michelle's dress--you will see that her dress is NOT white, but ecru or eggshell--big difference in off-white to real white.

OH and I haven't read any real confirmation that it was a marriage license, all I ever read is someone saw them at the courthouse, and made some assumptions.   I am not so sure it was, even though the assumptions were plastered all over everywhere.   
IF it was they only have so long to be wed or they have to get a different one, because they are only valid for so many days, and if/when they do, then there will be a public record of it for real.

Leslie, thanks for posting the wedding article.  They got the groom's name wrong!  Funny that both Heath and Michelle's fathers have been in the Australian news recently.

It hadn't occurred to me that it could be Heath & Michelle's wedding til I read all your comments here.  To continue the conjecture - maybe the Brooklyn thing was so they could have one legal ceremony, and then the Perth one was for Australian family and friends.  It sure doesn't seem like the journalists tried very hard to find out who Kim was marrying.

Re white dress - My first wedding, where I wore white, a friend of my mother's not only wore white, it looked like a $#%&ing wedding dress, with tiers, and lace, and princess sleeves.  I was really pissed off at the time.  'Course I'm not even in that marriage anymore, so it feels pretty much like water under the bridge now....:)  For this marriage, I wore an iridescent raw silk material with a deep rose weft and a royal blue warp, which looked like shimmering purple moire when I moved.  A friend of mine made it for me.  Choosing that fabric was a very fun process, and felt just right.  White the first time felt society-right.  Purple moire the second time felt Clarissa-right.

Anyway, back to Heath Heath Heath....:)

Thats easier said than done.....Since seeing the boys in Brokeback, I have watched a few movies with each of them in them, but I'm still looking for mannerisms, smiles, hand movements, kisses, love making, and gestures, that are similar to those that Ennis and Jack made.

I saw "Proof" the other night, and the main thing about the movie I remember was the way Jake kissed Gwyneth, and the way his hand held her cheek as he kissed her......that to me is a Jack thing....and in "Candy", some of the expressions on Heaths face, and the shy half smiles....they were definately Ennis.

I've been trying to post this a couple of times and each time the Santa Heath pic distracts me so much that I don't manage to get any further!  ;D

But here goes......  I happened to watch Batman Begins over the holidays,  and I must admit that I wasn't all that impressed or even entertained. Especially not with the bad guys, who all seemed rather generic two-dimensional shallow and oddly-motivated comic villains to me. So now I'm having real doubts about that whole Joker role again, and how that'll come across.

Oh, it's the intense look in those eyes and that face.

Scraggly Heath

HEATH Ledger may be a top actor, but a Perth hotel was ready to "quit'' the Brokeback Mountain star when he rocked up recently looking more like a hobo than a Hollywood hit.

Ledger and partner Michelle Williams arrived at the Raffles Hotel for a meal but staff were about to turn him away for looking too casual.

"He was scruffy as an old dog, with his face hidden under a cap,'' a fellow diner says.

"But once they realised, all was forgiven and they got silver-service treatment.''

I agree the scruffy is part of his charm BUT he does have a habit of going pretty ratty in his efforts to hide from those uber aggressive photographers in Australia, can't blame the hotel staff of doing a double take at first.   ;)  At least they did the right thing when they realized.   He cleans up so nice too  :D  shame those awful camera men won't leave him alone  while he's at home so everyone could see more of his pretty face  ;D

Couldn't agree more. It's NOT fair  >:(. I don't approve the shown double-standard here.

In general, I don't approve of snotnosed restaurants or hotels with clothing standards. I don't go there on principle, no matter how dressed up I am.
But I have to admit that I don't know how widespread such establishments are in the US or Australia. In Germany there are fine restaurants without clothing standards. And usually I do dress up when I go there - but it's my decision, not the restaurant's. I just can't stand being forced to wear any specific kind of clothes and I have a problem with uniforms. Once I didn't take a job becuse I would have had to wear a uniform.

Back to Heath:

Did we already have this round-belly-picture with Abby Cornish? I think it's funny:

Yes both dressed very casually................

I guess, it depends where the restaurant is, and what time of day or night it is, for some kind of dress code to be appropriate.

Now, if it was an outdoor seaside restaurant during the day, they would probably fit in with the rest of the diners, but if it was an evening date, then they probably should have taken the opportunity, like most of us do, and put on some nicer clothes for the occassion.

From my experience with restaurants over here, there are generally no strict dress codes, just a bit of common sense and what fits the surroundings...

I dont think it was because he was a movie star that they changed their mind about letting him in......it was more that they knew he could PAY for his meal......lets face it, the restaurant is not gonna let someone in, who looks like they dont have the money to dress properly, let alone pay for their meal.....

My opinion is, is Heath and Michelle want to dress like they are living in the "poor house" then they have to suffer the consequences...........

Yes, but do we know that picture was taken on the very day/night they went to the restaurant? It looks more like a generic picture of the two looking scruffy, picked from the files to illustrate this story about him being scruffy. Surely not even Heath (let alone Michelle!) would show up at a fancy restaurant in cutoffs and flip-flops?!

Chrissi, in answer to your question about restaurants, I would say most genuinely nice (and classy) U.S. restaurants leave it up to the customers to figure out how they should dress, and of course most customers dress appropriately. It's more like the wannabe fancy restaurants that enforce a dress code (IMO).

So now, to avoid confusion, I try to remember to go with "flip flops."

Pictures are hard to come by, but here's another interview article...

He turned down role of Hollywood hunk
Heath Ledger went for riskier parts, and won an Oscar nomination
MARK DE LA VINA
San Jose Mercury News

He was in line to become Hollywood's next top romantic lead, a blossoming hunk primped for mainstream superstardom.

Australian actor Heath Ledger seemed positioned as the next "it" boy after such box-office hits as "The Patriot" in 2000 and "A Knight's Tale" in 2001. But when most of his contemporaries were struggling with college midterms, Ledger was doing the unthinkable: abandoning a sure-fire film career for one dotted with commercially risky roles.

This conscious change in course perhaps culminated in "Brokeback Mountain," for which Ledger received a 2006 Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a ranch hand secretly in love with a bull rider (Jake Gyllenhaal).

Now Ledger, 27, has taken on another audience-testing role in "Candy," a dark memoir about a young couple locked in a death tango with heroin. The film also stars Geoffrey Rush and Abbie Cornish. It does not yet have a scheduled opening in Charlotte.

"I think it was more or less the time I decided to take my career into my own hands," Ledger says in a phone interview from a New York hotel room. "I felt like it was a little out of my control. I'm happy I made that choice. I feel less like a product and more like someone who is kind of devoted to telling stories about all walks of life."

In "Candy," Ledger plays Dan, a poet who falls for a striking young art student (Cornish). Their passion for one another becomes entangled with an all-consuming need for heroin, which inevitably envelops their relationship.

Ledger chose to work on "Candy," a small Australian film with limited U.S. release, not only because it plunged into territory of such unfamiliar darkness. The movie, shot in Sydney, also gave him the rare opportunity to make a film in his homeland. As a result, it was his first film in eight years where he didn't have to affect an accent.

Within two years of catching the attention of American audiences in "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999), Ledger's performance in the racially charged "Monster's Ball" set the tone for his choices in often offbeat, art-house movies. Such films as "Ned Kelly" and "The Brothers Grimm" followed suit.

In his next film, Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There," he plays one of seven characters who embody an aspect of Bob Dylan's life and work -- hardly the stuff of multiplexes.

Though he appears to be following singing songwriter Neil Young's career path of forsaking the middle of the road for the ditch -- leading to the rougher but far more interesting ride -- Ledger hasn't completely turned his back on popcorn movies. He will play the Joker in "The Dark Knight," Christopher Nolan's follow-up to "Batman Begins," which begins shooting in March.

The actor says that in spite of the box-office potential of "Knight," he's intrigued more by the role, which he describes as a "pure anarchist."

"I still feel like it's a character I've never done before," he says, "and I'm going to be donning a mask. I'm not really thinking about the commercial consequences. Maybe I should be. But at this point, it's just an exciting next step."

Who was it last year who said they were going to rent a giant-screen TV at Costco to watch the Oscars on.  When I naively said, "Oh, I didn't know you could rent stuff at Costco," they made it clear to me what "rent" meant in that context.

I can tell you, the movie has lots of close ups of Heath so seeing him in 102" flat screen goodness might be overwhelming. LOL

We have a big football playoff game today that lots of New Englanders are excited about...lots of talk around here about "renting" TVs.

Oilgun!  It is GREAT to see you here.  I have read many, many of your posts at IMDb.

I agree about ROAR being HeathenHeaven (albeit youngHeath).  I have seen about 6 episodes of it and did a lot of pausing to savor his cuteness.  I even actually enjoyed two or three of the episodes.  And now Vera Farmiga has gone and gotten famous too.

So this is weird, and interesting - to locate some screencaps for you, I went off and searched three of the Heath sites I typically go to to get pictures, and there were zero, nada, blip ROAR photos.  AND when I went to the Heath Central forums to see if I could read as to why that was, when I clicked on the ROAR sub-forum, it closed my browser down.  I tried three times, and every time my browser just completely shut down.  (And I often have my browser open for days without starting fresh.)

Anyway, looks like the powers that be may have had everyone yank their ROAR caps, with the DVD release.  Hmm. 

Hey, oilgun, come around again soon!

Thanks for the warm welcome Ellemeno.  And thanks again to Goada for the motherlode of Roar screen cap sites.( I won't need flannel sheets tonight!)

The BbM board at IMDb is pretty much finished I'm afraid but I have to say it had a good run.  Now, the interesting posts are few and far between.  And as far as the Heath Ledger board is concerned, I think the average age of posters there is 12.  It's an endless series of "I love Heath!!!"  "Oh yeah? Well  I love him more!!!". "Worse joker ever!!".  It's mind-numbing, LOL!

Coming back here is very refreshing!

I read in my newspaper today that Heath Ledger has been named to play alongside Al Pacino in "Dali & I, The Surreal Story". He's said to play the part of Belgian Stan Lauryssens, Dali's neighbour in Cadaques, Spain. Filming would start in Spain this summer.

Stan Laureyssens wrote the book on which the screenplay is based and it's based on true facts. He was an art dealer who was involved in a scheme to sell fake works of Dali. He spent several months in a Spanish jail for this.

Heath Ledger playing a Belgian crook  :o I can't wait to see this!!

Has anyone heard anything about this story? I don't know where my newspaper got the news from, but i've checked a few websites and i can't find anything. ???

Sounds interesting.  Was Dali part of the scheme to sell the fake paintings, or ignorant of that?

Pacino and Heath - that's a weird combo to me.  Pacino seems to have turned into such a caricature of himself in the last few years, and now often repels me.  I'm sure Heath will still learn a lot from him.

I keep seeing Heath moving toward a future as a director.  So all he can learn as he goes is great.

I don't think so. He was too old to be capable of painting by then. It was more his entourage who decided that the shop had to keep running so to speak.

I hope Heath will be confirmed for this part. It would be great to see then together on the big screen. IMDB only has Pacino confirmed. Stan Lauryssens was obliviously thrilled that Pacino has signed on.

Will run out this minute (not really) and get Roar on DVD with all my Borders Christmas gift cards.

I won't "rent" a TV to view Candy cuz I don't roll like that but if I did, Katherine, I would surely watch BbM 10 times before returning it. On second thought I wouldn't watch it because it would probably keep me from returning the TV and I'd be a gazillion dollars in debt.

I'm getting a new nephew in a few months-I wonder if they would consider naming him Heath-or Ennis-or Brokeback...

Started seeing this about two hours ago. Anyone know whether the rumors are true?

“Reports say that Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have secretly walked down the aisle.”

Very interesting.  I found this (http://www.abc.net.au/news/arts/theshallowend/200701/s1832762.htm) at ABC online by Googling.  It says yes, then no, then that Heath is depressed from working on his role of The Joker.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: ranchgal on January 23, 2007, 11:52:53 pm
Until Heath and or Michelle actually confirms it via legitimate sources---I am calling it a  complete rumor---as a paper also reported they were on the verge of a split, both stories on the same day---so when it comes to Heath---I never believe what I read until it is confirmed by honest sources.
The press has never been overly prone to truth where Heath is concerned, some have been downright nasty, so it will take more than that story to make me believe ANY of it.
 Considering Michelle has been shooting a movie in Spain recently--somehow I don't think this will actually be confirmed by them.
Someday though, we can only hope, and wishful think.   Who knows really, and if they want to keep it private with just themselves--more power to them.

I'm thrilled to hear about the Dali & I thing!  Heath and Al Pacino, that should be fun.  It's true that Pacino is often fond of chewing the scenery but as Dali it will at least be appropriate, lol!

As for the item du jour, did they or didn't they, tie the knot?  Hey it was on ET tonight and they showed the picture of Heath with the wedding band so it must be true, lol!.  That and the fact that they bought a marriage license a little while ago makes me think that they are indeed married.  If they are, I'm so glad they didn't make the wedding a ridiculous event which seems to be the norm in Hollywood, [cough! tomkat, cough!] Selling wedding pictures to the tabloids and all, I couldn't stand that!

From the Daily Telegraph (Australia)

HEATH Ledger and Michelle Williams may have got married in a secret ceremony, according to reports today.
The couple - who have a 14-month-old daughter Matilda - applied for a marriage license in Brooklyn last November and Ledger has now been spotted wearing a wedding ring.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Heath was out walking Matilda and he had a wedding band on his ring finger."

The Australian actor and the former Dawson's Creek actress met on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2004.

In November last year they collected a marriage license in Brooklyn, where they own a town house in Cobble Hill in Brooklyn.

A source said at the time: "Heath and Michelle don't like the spotlight. If they get married it will be a quiet wedding at a local church and then a party at the River Cafe afterwards for friends and family."

Gotta love that square jaw of his.

Basketball, like hockey, is way more fun to watch in person than on TV.

I went to college at a big basketball (well, for Division III, anyway) school, and I'm here to tell ya that some of the best times of my life were spent at the arena in which our team played.  When they used to annouce the players from the other school, we all used to stand up, turn around, and take out a newspaper and pretend to read it.  Old hat, now, but in 1983, that was cutting-edge stuff.

I'd rather watch NFL football on the tube than any other sport.  But basketball and hockey are meant to be watched in the arena.  They just move too fast to be fully appreciated any other way.

Heath is like me, I think - not very demonstrative with his emotions.  It looks like he's thoroughly enjoying it all - just in a non-dramatic way.

NFL or CFlL football, I just don't get at all.  They only seem to play in 30 second spurts.  And why do they all have to pile up on one poor guy?  One guy takes him down and then they all jump and make a big pile.  Are they afraid that he's going to get up again? it's bizarre!

As for Hockey, I read somewhere that they were updating the uniforms to "sleaker more aerodynamic" designs.  That should help get more female fans.  Now if they could ban that horrid hockey haircut so many players prefer then they would be getting somewhere.

I'm a soccer fan myself.  They have that magic spray that heals all injuries, lol!

I just don't have it in me to go through 1580 posts to find this out for myself, so I came by to ask a favor!

You know that picture of Ennis and the calf that is around? He's squatting down just inside the barn door, the calf is lying there and there's a wooden box with medicines in it sitting there beside the calf.

Was that ever posted here, or anywhere on BM? I have the picture, it isn't that, i'm just trying to get a feel for where it came from. It's a deleted scene, of course, but what was the source of the photo? That's what I'm trying to find out, and I figured what better place could there be to look for information about a picture of Ennis?

Thank you for any and all suggestions/opinions.

Hi Tamarack,

That picture has been posted here, and not that long ago. I am not sure if any one has ever decided whether it was a publicity shot or a deleted scene. My take is that is that it is a publicity shot, actually...most of the pictures of Jack and Ennis smiling came from publicity stills and also have scenes that are not entirely related to the movie (or cannot easily be placed in the movie). The glaring exception is Jack and Ennis smiling by the campfire, Ennis with his hat on his knee...which we could all easily place but it was not in the film.

Hope that helps, other Heathens will jump in, I am sure.

Thanks, Leslie. You're right, I shouldn't have called it a deleted scene. It was on my mind as such because of a conversation I was just having about it.

There is a deleted scene of Ennis in a meadow with a sick calf that could very easily have led to the barn scene and that's what was on my mind.

If you think it wasn't that long ago maybe I'll start working my way backwards on the thread and see what I find.

Thanks!

Speaking of pictures not in the movie, I ran across this shot somewhere recently that I hadn't seen before:

I first saw it listed by a person selling BBM pictures, and it was mostly a publicity still, as no scene like that ever appeared anywhere else.  BUT it did get sold? to magazines too, as the second time I saw it was in one of the weekly celebrity mags--OK or US ??? can't remember which,  but it was in a public publication too.

Funny, I asked the same question about this pic a few days ago. Is it a publicity still? Or a deleted scene? And if so, what may the scene have been about?

Additionally I noticed that Ennis (if it is Ennis, not just Heath in Ennis' costume) wears the "death jacket". The one he wears from the pie scene on through the rest of the movie; the one that is so similar to his father's jacket when old DelMar shows Ennis and KE the body of dead Earl.
But Ennis seems a good deal younger in this pic than by the end of the movie. Therefore I think it is more likely a publicity still, not a deleted scene.


(I thought I'd give it another try and ask the same questions, since I didn't get any answers the first time)

Thanks, Ranchgal. I know it's been out there for a while but didn't know it had been in any magazines. It tends to point to the fact that it was a publicity shot, doesn't it?

Penthesilea - Interesting comment about the death jacket! I still think that the calf in the barn would be a logical extension of a scene that was written, but not necessarily filmed, of Ennis in a meadow with a sick calf, but I haven't any reason to think that the scene in the barn was even written.

Thanks for commenting on this.

You didn't comment on the corduroy cap at the basketball game. Sort of a 1968 Carnaby Street look, don't you think?

In that photo, Michelle is giving Heath a very Alma look, I think. "YSGFWTJT-- JN?"

Post by: Lynne on February 10, 2007, 10:43:39 pm
This is excerpted from an article about Nicole Kidman hosting an Aussie Oscar party:
 
"One high-profile Aussie star missing from the gathering of the Tinseltown's "gum leaf mafia" was Heath Ledger, who was hosting his own party across town.

The event, held at Ledger and his partner Michelle Williams' Hollywood Hills mansion, was initially suspected by guests to be a surprise celebration of their rumoured secret marriage but the event turned out to be a birthday party for a close friend of the Brokeback Mountain star.

Among the 150 guests partying into the wee hours at Ledger's bash were former Ally McBeal star Portia de Rossi and young AFI award winner Emily Barclay, who is in the process of playing Williams' sister in a new film about the legendary British sibling writers the Brontes."

Thanks for that link, Lynne.  I'm really behind the times on the Ledgers' doings.  I looked up Michelle on IMDb, and she's signed on to no less than 8 projects since BBM, so we'll be seeing a lot of her this year.  She's going to play Charlotte Bronte in that movie.  Heath's "Batman" project was scheduled to start pre-shooting last month, but it's not supposed to be out now until 2008.

Since I uploaded this because someone at the DC forums seemed interested (I lurk there too, but just made my first post, go me! ;D) I thought I'd share this audio interview Heath did with the Philly Inquirer, in which he very amusingly talks about the deleted hippie scenes. I really like this interview because he seems much more relaxed and at ease than he does in other interviews. Or maybe it's because we just can't see him fidgeting. :)

Movie hunk HEATH LEDGER has teamed up with singer/songwriter BEN HARPER to start new music label Masses Music Co.
Ledger unveiled the label's first act, Australian teen GRACE WOODROOFE, at the 9 February (07) opening of Los Angeles lounge Edison.
A source tells American publication Us Weekly the BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN star personally signed Woodroofe to his new label, after he "fell in love with" her voice.
Ledger is taking a hands-on approach with his new signing, and even shot her new music video.

:o Wow Leslie, that's totally cool! I never heard about a "lost" wedding portrait. Would you like to enlighten me?

If you recall, in the scene with Lureen and the new baby, there is a portrait of Lureen and Jack, from the day they met at the rodeo, on the bedside table. Similarly, the props department created a wedding portrait of Ennis and Alma and it hung on the wall the in their apartment. Any scenes where the portrait was seen, however, got cut from the final movie, so it was, in essence, "lost." The findingbrokeback folks have series of photos about how the apartment was created for the movie, and the picture of the picture on the wall is included in that group.

This picture inspired my drabble for today, btw. For any Heathens who haven't visited yet, I highly recommmend the ongoing Bettermost Drabblefest, over on the fanfiction board!

Like Meryl, I can't believe that I never heard about it until yesterday. After almost one year there are still new things to explore. What a great movie.

I was blown away when I discovered it today, and it inspired two drabbles. Please read them...and, gah, what a picture.

I will Leslie. I've been absent from the drablefest for some days and now am chatching up.

Thank You libertyangel, that LOD shot is one of my favorite scenes from that movie--I just melt when he tells Jay, "your Momma's gotta eat." great stuff.!!very nice cap.

and of course when he sings 'Maggie May' sort of makes my day too.

I heard on another board that the Independent Spirit Awards on IFC are today and there's a possibility of a Heath sighting there. Seeing as I'm never above begging (where Heath is concerned anyway ;)) if anybody happens to get screenshots, would you mind posting them here? I don't have the channel on my cable line-up, unfortunately.

there was 1 short sighting of them going into the ceremony, and one slightly longer one during the ending credits-and of course the writing is all over them-that was taped before the ceremony.
there are loads of pictures up already at HLC gallery, and a few on DC too.
He looks great---except he has his sunglasses on in almost every picture so that is bummer---but he has on a great suit, and a moustache with a very small tuft of a goatee.
Michelle has cut her hair very short, and looks great.

Have you noticed Michelle's high heels? OMG, I couldn't walk one step in such shoes  :P. And she still looks small beside Heath.

I like this pic. Although you can can see only half of his face (darned sun glasses), he genuinely seems to like what he sees. And Michelle really looks good with the short hair.

That dress made me think the same. In some pics, you can clearly see it's shorter in the front than at her backside. Maybe it is tailored that way *shrugs*

BTW, there are also pics of the event, and of Heath and Michelle, on gettyimages.com. Most of them are also on HLC and they have those ugly watermarks. But still worth a look.

Thanks for the heads up, Ranchgal. The pics are fantastic. I didn't realize Michelle had gotten her hair cut recently - it's cute. She looks quite pixie-ish, a little Mia Farrow-like. And Heath looks good in the vest/jacket combo, and with the shirttails sticking out, no less  ;D. That's our boy. But I don't like the Wayfarer sunglasses on him... they're way too harsh for his beautiful face...and well, I guess I'm biased since I'm not a fan of Wayfarers period. I hope they're not coming back in style!

I was wondering about that too, and just found out on the DC forum that it's not his shirt tails, that it's some added piece to either the jacket or shirt that gives that appearance. Guess it's some sort of new fashion some guys are sporting...

Me too, but one thing about the Independent Spirit Awards, they take place in a tent on the beach in Santa Monica, and I bet the sun really can be very dazzling.  I hope he's not too into drugs.   :-\

I don't think they are added on, I think they are the sides of his shirt, cause in part of the pictures actually taken after they are walking into the ceremony, those are NOT there---and in the closing credits---Heath has his jacket off and is retucking everything with Michelle supervising---then if you look at the pictures--of him and Sean P. he is all tucked in and putting his jacket on in one of them---so I am thinking that the shirt was hanging out when they were going in, but he fixed it just before they went into the actual tent.

there is a video clip link on DC right now that shows them walking---and Michelle doesn't look or move like she has any bumps to me.  She looks skinny if anything while she is walking through the crowd into the gate.

I don't think he is. I remember in the Rolling Stone interview (I think) he talked about quitting smoking and mentioned that was his only vice. At that point he was still not smoking but I have heard he has started again. I think he uses nicotine to self-medicate. Plenty of people do.

I didn't realize the awards were in a tent, so okay, that makes sense. He does seem to like to wear sunglasses, though. I think it goes along with the hats, all part of his incognito look.

I remember when Heath was doing promotion for Candy, he was asked by a journalist if he had done drugs or not.  He said he had tried (? I can't remember which was it but I got the impression that it was not the hard stuff) when he was a teenager but he is not now.  But as Leslie mentioned, he has taken up smoking again.

I am sure he has smoked dope, hasn't everybody? LOL. For Candy, I know he said they visited a drug rehab place, learned how to look like he was shooting up. It made it sound like he had never done injectable drugs in real life.

I'm so out of it, I didn't even realize they'd been granted single-name status. But I don't believe anything I read in the tabloids -- or the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, for that matter -- about what's going on within someone's marriage, unless it's a direct first-person quote from one of the spouses.

Good point. And I think another one of the tabloids had their romance on the rocks the day before Heath was photographed wearing his wedding ring. If you look with a magnifying glass, you can see it in these recent photos, too.

That's one of the reasons I liked Casanova...he still had his Ennis look, when he wasn't wearing a wig that is.

I'm definitely an Ennis man, but oddly have never really been a Heathen. I don't really see Ennis in Heath outside the context of BBM. And while Ennis excites great love and attraction within my heart, Heath himself is someone I could kind of take or leave (in the sense of allure). It's kind of odd, considering that we wouldn't have movie-Ennis were it not for the brilliant actor that Heath is.

I think Ennis is cuter than Heath, too, Natali. But I'll have to say this is probably not the best thread for a post calling him "kinda ugly." Besides, although this photo isn't his best, if you go back a few pages you'll see that the U-word definitely does not apply.

Scott, I agree, even though it really doesn't make sense. Who was that playing Ennis in the movie, then? And why did that guy in those on-location shots, standing around drinking coffee and chatting with Ang, look so much like Ennis?

Well, he looks kinda ugly to me. That doesn't mean I think he is indeed ugly. Heath is a very good looking and sexy man but lately has adopted a look that doesn't do him any justice, IMO. That's all I'm saying.

Well, Leslie knows that I am not a Heath person.  It seems to me that he has gone out of his way to make himself unattractive since the release of BBM.

He isn't an drop dead gorgeous man to begin with, but he doesn't have looks that would stop a clock either.  I wonder of he really does make himself unattractive on purpose to bolster his image as a "serious actor".  If that's the case, then he is making a big mistake.

I don't think he has gone out of his way, I just don't think he cares. He seems like the kind of guy for whom clothes, and hair, and shoes and accessories and all the rest are just not important. I understand this...I can relate!

I think in his "teen heart throb" period he played the game of having his picture taken, dressing up, looking sexy, etc., in an effort to get his name and face "out there." Now that he has arrived (it seems to me that receiving an academy award nomination is a measure of "arriving") he has stopped bothering with a lot of that stuff. Look how much we've been scrounging on this thread to find any pictures at all...and we'll settle for crappy ones. Meanwhile, over on JJJ, their boy hops in front of a camera every chance he gets, IMHO.

I do think Heath has a chameleon quality and can change his looks depending on the role. Of course, makeup, hair and costume are all part of that but I also think there is something that he does, too, to contribute this. Contrast that to Jakey G. who in my opinion, looks exactly the same in every role I have seen him in.

I personally think Heath is an easygoing, hippy type who really doesn't spend too much time worrying about his wardrobe.  I don't think it is a calculated move to 'be taken seriously'.  I just think that he likes being away from the spotlight and fancies the idea of keeping his life as simple and 'normal' as possible.  We are expecting him to live up to the "Ennis" of our dreams, but the guy's entitled to dress the way he likes and feels comfortable, right?  ;D
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: serious crayons on February 27, 2007, 02:04:31 pm
I think you've got it, Milli. He's not making an effort one way or the other. He didn't like being marketed as a blond heart throb and isn't going to go out of his way to fit that image. Jake, on the other hand, seems to kind of like the heart-throb role.

But just to refresh everyone's memory that Heath can look good even when not all gussied up:

As much as I like Jake, I have to agree with this. Jake does look the same in every role. Same thing happens with Julia Roberts. She looks like Julia Roberts in every movie! Unlike Nicole Kidman, for example, who has chamaleonic qualities just like Heath.

Exactly, Natali, good example.

Another one who always looks the same is Hugh Grant. Recent reviews of his new movie, "Music and Lyrics" even acknowledged this, saying that Hugh Grant has finally given up trying to play other characters and has decided to play Hugh Grant.

Another thing you have to keep in mind is he is just coming off all the filmfest  premieres of Candy, and he looks now like he did in the film---and in playing a druggie, he really kept himself thin and scraggy.
I agree he really doesn't care what anyone else thinks of his "look" and does what he wants to when he wants to.   I really wish he would trim his hair myself--BUT I don't think we will see a different looking Heath until such time as he has a different look for a character that he needs to develop.

And I agree about the relationship rumor too---one disagreement hardly makes a split,(no one would be together if it did!)  and if it happened, I wouldn't pay it much mind--I refuse to believe anything coming off gawker--and until Heath and/or Michelle or their representatives say it--I don't believe it's true.

Ugly??? Take a look back at some of the photos in this thread for a refresher

Now, I'm not saying he doesn't frequently look homeless but that is one of the things that draws me to him-he isn't (as far as I know and I don't know much) a Hollywood commodity. With his crazy hair and clothes and occasional testy attitude he is true to himself.

Exactly, Natali, good example.

Another one who always looks the same is Hugh Grant. Recent reviews of his new movie, "Music and Lyrics" even acknowledged this, saying that Hugh Grant has finally given up trying to play other characters and has decided to play Hugh Grant.

L

Oh mi gosh, that cracks me up...  HG finally deciding to play HG...

On other topics, I know what you mean Natali, re: the looks kinda ugly thing.  I too don't think that "he's ugly" but yeah, some days he just don't look too good...  But you know, I feel that way about myself all the time.  ("Not lookin' too hot today, Kel") And, it's okay... cause you know, that's not really the focus of my day.

Anyhow, no one ever comments on Four Feathers... did you guys like how he looked in that one??

I don't have anything particular to say; I just want to add a post so that it gets closer to the time that when I hit the "new" button to call up this thread it goes automatically to the next page instead of this one. I hate clicking on "Heath Heath Heath" and having the first thing I see being a post about Heath supposedly being unattractive.

Beauty is so in the eye of the beholder. I know this sounds mind-blowing, but I'm not that enraptured by Jake's appearance. Yes, I can see why people find him handsome, and at times I myself think he's cute. He's charming on talk shows, and he dresses fairly well in a casual way. But he just doesn't ... grab me, you know what I mean? He always looks sort of the same, so his appearance strikes me as ... I don't know, predictable or facile or obvious or something. I feel that way when watching BBM, and I feel that way in RL.

But you don't see me going onto the "Jake Jake Jake" thread to air my views and analyze what I perceive to be his physical flaws. It's enough for me to realize that plenty of people DO find him hot. I figure they probably have their reasons.

Hm, yes, I believe I've read that it is indeed a polaroid. But don't nail me down to it.

Yes, I find him indeed handsome. That's the right expression. But like you already said: he doesn't grab me. For my personal taste (and everybody from the JJJ thread will and is entitled to disagree) he's a bit too smooth, too even.

Time for a cute Heath pic:

As for the H v. J thing-it bugs. This isn't a competition-or it shouldn't be. I appreciate them both for different reasons. Being a Heathen does not make me think less of Jakey. He is just as big a part of my BbM experience as HHH.

Of course! I didn't mean to set it up as an us-against-them or him-against-him or anything of the kind. I just bristle a bit when people are negative on the HHH board. This really isn't the place, and I guess finally I called up that previous page one too many times.

Anyway, I just finished watching "Proof." I thought Jake was great. And very cute! I'd let him read my proof any day.  ;) ;D

Oh, and Chrissi and Leslie, thanks for posting those beautiful photos that successfully pushed us onto page 113! I don't know if there's a more poignant, gorgeous picture in all the world than the two of them in that dozy embrace. Especially Heath ... Oops! Kidding.  :laugh:

I rather share your feelings on Jake. Jake is definitely a good-looking man, but he's a bit too polished and, dare I say it, even a bit bland (in a physical way) for my tastes. In fact, he reminds me a little bit of a first cousin of mine, when that cousin was a younger man. Jake is quite charming, and seems to be a very fine human being, and these qualities add depth and nuance to his overall attractiveness.

At any rate, I prefer Jake as Jack in BBM over Jake outside the context of BBM, same as I do for Heath. And as much as I love Jack, I have to admit I've always been an Ennis man.

Hope I didn't offend, certainly wasn't my intention...

pretty/beautiful/attractive are all very different words to me.  ugly can be just as beautiful and attractive as pretty, and sometimes pretty is neither beautiful nor attractive.

anyhoo, sorry for any discomfort I may have contributed to.

Oh, OK. I still don't quite understand. I can see how ugly might be fascinating and thus in its own way attractive, and how pretty might be boring and therefore not attractive. But how can ugly be beautiful? Aren't the two words opposites, by definition?

In any case, thanks for the explanation, and no offense taken.

Title: Four degrees of separation...
Post by: moremojo on March 29, 2007, 12:25:03 pm
Glancing at a review of Shooter today (which, in all honesty, doesn't sound like my cinematic cup of tea), I noted that Rade Serbedzija is among the cast...which means I conceivably can claim about four degrees of separation from our man Heath!

An explanation: Back in 1999, I took a friend (half-Yugoslav [father was half-Serb, half-Hungarian], half-French) to see the film Eyes Wide Shut. During the course of the movie, when actor Rade Serbedzija appeared on screen (playing the character Milich), my friend exclaimed (quietly) "That's my brother-in-law!" He explained to me after the film that Serbedzija was married to his younger half-sister, and was actually quite a well-known and respected actor in the former Yugoslavia. And though Serbedzija had informed my friend that he had worked with Tom Cruise, my friend didn't realize that their mutual film was Eyes Wide Shut. (Incidentally, Serbedzija told my friend that he found Cruise a very nice and attentive person, and felt great respect and admiration for him).

And today, learning that Serbedzija is in the new film with Kate Mara, I calculate that about four degrees of acquaintance separates me from the talented Mr. Ledger. There's me, then my friend, then Serbedzija, then Ms. Mara, and finally Heath! Kinda neat, no?

I have been seeing previews on TV of the new film The Lookout (opening today), starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and I must say that Mr. Gordon-Levitt has grown into quite a fetching man. I also noted that he somewhat resembles Heath in his facial features, and when I mentioned this, my sister agreed. Probably won't be seeing the film in theaters, but looking forward to seeing more of Gordon-Levitt in the future.

Incidentally, an online acquaintance of mine thought that Gordon-Levitt was superb in Mysterious Skin, and thought this performance was even more remarkable than Heath's in Brokeback Mountain, even though he conceded that Heath's performance was excellent.

Holy CRAP, Scott.  It's so funny you mention this.  I just went to see "The Lookout" today, mostly on a whim.  (I quite enjoyed it, by the way).  And I was struck in some shots by just how much J G-L (whoa - interesting initials, there, come to think of it) resembled our Heath.  I wondered if it was just me, but then, as the credits were rolling, a lady next to me said to her companions, "Was that the guy in 'Brokeback Mountain'?"  Of course I had to chime in and say, "No, that was Heath Ledger.  This actor's name is Joseph Gordon-Levitt."  She goes, "Oh, thank you.  Well, this one is wonderful, too."

 ;D

(To be so naive as to have seen Brokeback, apparently appreciated it, and not know Heath Ledger from Joseph Gordon-Levitt...  What's that like?)

The Lookout got some very good reviews.  It is actually the first movie that I am interested in seeing since seeing BBM. Interesting that you are writing about it here.  Maybe that's why the Lookout picture really caught my eye when I saw it in the paper yesterday, although I didn't realize it, cause he resembles Heath.

Now I definitely want to see the Lookout, but I probably will still end up waiting for the dvd or when its on cable.

The Lookout got some very good reviews.  It is actually the first movie that I am interested in seeing since seeing BBM. Interesting that you are writing about it here.  Maybe that's why the Lookout picture really caught my eye when I saw it in the paper yesterday, although I didn't realize it, cause he resembles Heath.

Now I definitely want to see the Lookout, but I probably will still end up waiting for the dvd or when its on cable.

I thought it was very well-written.  And the acting, all around, was sublime.  I found Chris Pratt (Gordon-Levitt's character) very believable.  I've known three different people who have been in serious car accidents that caused them to be in a coma for one to several weeks.  One of them I knew before the accident.  It totally changed him.  And my husband knew the other two before theirs and says it totally changed them, too.  They became very serious.  Their sense of humor is essentially gone, because they take everything literally and don't get subtle nuances in the language and comic timing anymore.  This was really pronounced in the guy I knew before.  He was a life-of-the-party Vince Vaughn type of guy before.  He had this infectious laugh.  I don't remember ever hearing him laugh again after the accident.  I imagine part of that is knowing someone else died in the accident and the trauma of that memory.

Anyway, they really portrayed it well - eerily so.

I have always thought that Joseph G-L looks very much like Heath!  They would be very convincing as brothers in a movie together!

Check out these pictures:  8)

I noticed JGL's resemblance to Heath when I saw "Mysterious Skin."  Although the resemblance is striking in still photos, it is even more so in motion.

Just a reminder, Heathens!

We have a big day coming up in three days....April 4th, Heath's birthday. Someone posted an address where we can send cards.

In honor of the day, I think we should all post one Heath picture, and it has to be your absolute favorite. I am giving you some advance warning so you can go through your archives, scrapbooks and photo albums and finds the one that makes you the most tingly, the most heart throbbingly heathenesque of all.

Posting begins at midnight on April 4th. Midnight in whatever time zone you are in (which means the Australian Heathens will have a jump on the rest of us, but I can wake up to some good ol'Heath hotness).

Have fun, folks!

(Hey, I started this thread. I get to plan the special celebrations! Yee haw!)

Amazing separated-at-birth pairing, Xchyler! They really should play brothers. And although I always think of Heath as way older than JGL, they're actually only two years apart. (Maybe that's because I've seen JGL in so many kid roles, but I've never seen him play an almost-40-year-old!)

Nice article, loved the way he side-stepped all the personal questions....this must be his new way of handling all that.  Sounds to me like they got married.  All that talk about it being private and sacred and just for them, then pointing out the wedding rings while neither confirming nor denying.  Good for them, I hope they live happily ever after.  ;D

I've never heard of JGL before. But while skimming through his pics on imdb, I also thought that he looks much younger than Heath.

In some pics he has a big resemblance with Heath, in others I think he looks like a mixture between Heath (cheeks, dimples, chin) and Keanu Reeves (eyes).

What's the most different is his (JGL's) smile.  It totally changes his face and makes him look utterly unlike Heath.  Not a bad smile, but it just doesn't open his face up like a flower like Heath's does.  There's something that's still sort of guarded about it compared to Heath's, somehow.

And I agree - sometimes JGL resembled Keanu Reeves to me in "The Lookout" and sometimes he resembled Heath.

I've never heard of JGL before.


His most well-known role is probably as the young boy on the TV show "Third Rock From the Sun."  His most well-known Heath-related role is in 10 Things I Hate About You, as the new kid who arrives at the school.  He becomes romantically interested in one sister, while Heath goes after the other sister.  So they are kind of brothers in law already.  :)

According to my handy-dandy world time clock, it will be midnight in Perth, Australia (where Heath was born) in about 3 hours. So Heathens down under can start the birthday celebration 14 hours ahead of moi. How exciting! Folks in Asia will come on line next, followed by Europe, then me here in downeast Maine. Our west coasters will bring up the rear in fine style, I am sure.

Remember...your favorite picture of Heath. If someone has already posted your favorite picture, then go for your second favorite, or the one that was tied for first. Whatever. Let's try to mix it up with as much Heath goodness as we can.

Heath doing other things (ie, being Ennis) are perfectly acceptable, too.

Birthday cakes and greetings, flowers and all the rest, are also highly encouraged.

I have it from a reliable source that Heath lurks on the various boards. I don't know if Bettermost is included but maybe if he gets wind of this birthday celebration, he'll drop in for a visit. We can only hope!

Since Matilda Rose Ledger is too young for champagne and wine, but she wants to celebrate with her dad, here's a drink for her. For those in our group who prefer non-alcoholic beverages, please feel free to order one at the bar!

Dottie, thank you for choosing one of those beautifully lit Venice ones, so I didn't have to.  I love those.  And Meryl, that's a great one too. 

It was a tough choice, and then I suddenly remembered the one that got my heart.  I still haven't figured out why his feet aren't touching the ground. 

Happy Birthday, Heath.  You da bomb, and I am so looking forward to more directing from you.

Great pics everyone! What a wonderful treat to wake up to!

As far as I can tell, it's April 4th everywhere in the world, so let's let the celebration continue, shall we? For those of you who care enough about Heath to stay up past your bedtime to post a picture (that would be all of us), I am giving you an "I'm so Heathen" pass to post a second one. Yahoo! Here's our birthday boy, again....(this picture was in Milli's wallpaper, but I liked it so much, I am giving you the original).

I've only been waiting for this (no, your post just showed up in the preview, I was gonna post another one anyway - can't keep a Heathen from posting Heath pics  ;D).

I love all the pics from this photoshoot in Toronto, it was hard to pick one. I think I like Heath the more, the older he gets. He's beautiful and sexy in those tenneage heatthrob pics, but for me a more mature Heath just does it.
And in this one he's especially cute and lovable - and damn good looking  :)

Just a reminder, Heathens!

We have a big day coming up in three days....April 4th, Heath's birthday. Someone posted an address where we can send cards.

In honor of the day, I think we should all post one Heath picture, and it has to be your absolute favorite. I am giving you some advance warning so you can go through your archives, scrapbooks and photo albums and finds the one that makes you the most tingly, the most heart throbbingly heathenesque of all.

Posting begins at midnight on April 4th. Midnight in whatever time zone you are in (which means the Australian Heathens will have a jump on the rest of us, but I can wake up to some good ol'Heath hotness).

Have fun, folks!

(Hey, I started this thread. I get to plan the special celebrations! Yee haw!)

So, it is to-day, Wednesday April 4th 2007!!

Maybe both yesterday and to-day as he was born down-under??

Does that makle sense??

If you are reading this Heath, pray it makes your smile and laugh, which I and others enjoy!!

Heath was born on April 4, 1979, so his birthday is today.

However "today" starts at different times around the world, so for some folks, they could post on April 4 while the rest of us are still living in April 3rd.

In fact, in Heath's home country  of Australia, is birthday is over now, since it it is about 4:15 am on April 5 right now.

But it is only 2:15 pm where I live, so I can celebrate with my man Heath for another 10 hours or so!

Heath and all!!

Seeing your photos, I think that you are a camelion, yes a chameleon, in some or many ways!!

I often wondered why you became or wanted to become an actor!!
Seeing photos on this thread, and it was remarkable on the YOUTUBE address I provided about your last year's Birthday, I saw that even in your youth... you changed, like you can and do.

Now I wonder if you will become and/or becoming a cuttle-fish??
You already started that to me it seems, as you are on the marqueeat the worldwide cinemas!!

Happy Birthday!! You are and will be such a great actor!!

Hugs!

Such wonderful eyes.  That hooded quality of them makes him appear so unreachable, and yet you sense (hell, you know) there is a fascinating old, old soul behind them.  Even though the song is called "Electric Blue," it's him I think of (sometimes) when I hear that line "Are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes?"

Sigh.  And I'm not even a Heathen.  But this is the one I love the most.

Happy Heath Day everyone! OK, so my excuse for posting more than two is that I haven't been here in a quite a while and I'm making up for lost time. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.  :P Gotta sneak in some pics 15 minutes before his birthday is over in my time zone. Here we go!

Thanks to everyone who participated in this wonderful birthday celebration! What a great day and lots of Heath-goodness for us to enjoy. Now, back to our regularly scheduled Heath Heath Heath thread....

But one last thought. I found this on the Toronto Star website, the horoscope section:

If today is your birthday: If you only knew, back then, what you know now. All that stuff you're so fed up about, well, it's been for your own good. You'll discover, this year, that it's been leading you to something quite amazing. Happy birthday to Heath Ledger, 28.

A NEW DIRECTION

Heath Ledger made his directorial debut at the Ben Harper concert at the Enmore Theatre on Wednesday night. Harper told the crowd Ledger had shot the footage he uses as the backdrop of his concert. Meanwhile, over at Ledger's old Bronte digs, yet more building work is going on, just months after Ledger spent millions renovating the multi-levelled home, installing paparazzi-proof window tinting but sadly never enjoying his time there because he was too hassled by the paps.

LN note: I thought he sold the beach house in Bronte back in the early part of 2006?

I remember hearing that he had spent millions to renovate it, putting in privacy glass, a home theater/studio, etc. The plan was that he and Michelle were going to spend 6 mo/yr in Australia, then 6 mo/yr in the US. However, after the water gun incident at one of the BBM premieres, he cried all night and put the house on the market the next day. I remember reading the house listing and looking at the pictures. I believe it was for sale for $6 million and I thought it sold pretty quick. Also, the original renovation work was done in 2005 so I would not call that "just months ago."

http://socialitelife.com/2006/01/16/heath_ledger_gets_squirted.php

January 16, 2006

In an eerily similar situation to the Tom Cruise water spray from last year, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams were hit by high-powered water guns at the Australian premiere of Brokeback Mountain.

    Rogue paparazzi will not be allowed to cover celebrity film events after three photographers sprayed actor Heath Ledger with water.

    Film distributor Roadshow, which is releasing Ledger's movie Brokeback Mountain in Australia, has declared troublemakers will never be invited back. "In terms of banning them, we would certainly never give them official accreditation again," Roadshow managing director Joel Pearlman said yesterday.

    Ledger and his girlfriend Michelle Williams were sprayed with high-powered water pistols during the Sydney premiere of Brokeback Mountain at Fox Studios. Photographers Peter Carrette, Pierre Smithdorf and Guy Finlay sprayed the A-list stars with water.

    Designer Peter Morrissey who was also at the event said the actions were "unnecessary", particularly after Ledger's recent moves to stem his bad-boy reputation.

    "It's a bit out of line," Morrissey said. "If someone has acted bad and is now acting good they should not be reminded of the bad times." Mr Pearlman said it was a credit to Ledger that he stayed calm throughout the incident. Soon after being sprayed Ledger introduced his film in two cinemas. "I have to say Heath was incredibly dignified," Mr Pearlman said.

Heath Ledger may sue the photographers. Which would be an odd move since the photographers claim the water spray was in retaliation for being spit on by Mr. Ledger when he was in his "bad boy" phase.

LN note: I do not believe that Heath followed through with any sort of suit.

And the so-called spitting incident had never happened, according to Luke Davies, the author of Candy.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: ranchgal on April 08, 2007, 05:18:21 pm
He did sell the bronte house after he renovated it, and the new owner may be the one the doing the building now, as he sold it to the LaPaglia that stars in Without a Trace series (I pretty sure that is the series)

but it wouldn't surprise me if Heath does reinvest in some Australian property.  He likes owning his own places where ever he ends up, so sooner or later he'll have something bought over there.

And you are right, Heath never spit on any photographers---they were being really pains---and Luke did see the whole incident.   The water pistol incident was the one that got him so upset, afterward he broke down in the bathroom later, and he felt he had to protect his family and they put the Bronte house up for sale.

NO he directed it.  He almost stays strictly behind the camera when he is directing, doesn't try to steal the spotlight away from the music he loves so much.
He is starting to direct quite a few music videos---esp now that he has started his own music production company, and is going to direct the videos for some of the people he signs up, can't remember that girls name now, the friend of his sister's from Australia, that he just signed up.

I saw a few copies of the same article posted in various places this morning. It seems like a rehash of some of the stuff from the recent Newsweek interview. And Matilda is 17 months old now, so why are they calling her just a year? And yes, there have definitely been a few photographs of Heath's wedding ring.

He has always been interested in music, and it is said he has a good voice, just never had a real project where it was used.  He deliberately used a higher than normal pitch for 10 things--because the director asked him too.

There have been pictures of each of them with (unconfirmed) wedding bands on---however I think, at least for me, the key words here are "THEY will FLASH their rings for photographers"---that I have never seen so far---the pictures I have seen have been lucky shots of their hands with rings on them, neither Heath or Michelle have ever held them up or out or in any way tried to draw attention to them at least that I have been able to see.  But maybe it will happen soon, that April 9, Newsweek interview column  covered his/their opinion of the situation very well---until they actually make the moves----everyone gets to draw their own conclusions.

Yes, that's what word on the street says.  And that he deliberately made his voice higher at the director's request.

I reckon he must have a decent singing voice since he tried out for Moulin Rouge and all.  (I've forgotten that scene in 10 Things I Hate About You, it's been so long since I've seen it.)

I just happened upon Casanova the other night.  I quite liked it.  I had avoided seeing it when it first came out on the heels of Brokeback because I wanted Ennis to live on in my mind in the form of Heath, and I didn't want to risk losing that in some way.  Crazy, but true.  But after lo my many viewings of the latter, Ennis exists separately from Heath, so seeing Heath in other things is like seeing a completely different person in other things.  Also crazy but true.

Anyway, I thought he did a really lovely job in Casanova, as always.  Man, that boy does understand how to kiss...  And I'll say it again, and this is saying a lot coming from a confirmed Gyllenhaalic - he has the most wonderful eyes.  The brighest light shines out of them.  They glitter and sparkle like stars.

It's not crazy. I was hesitant about Casanova too. I didn't want to see any 'Ennis' there. Actually Heath said in an interview that he felt he had too much 'Ennis' still inside him when he played Casanova, he held back a bit too much, and in hindsight, he should have been more exuberant in that role. Hmmm, maybe he could have.... but i liked Casanova anyway.

Yes, the one on his wrist is clearly visible during the 'knot-tying' scene and part of the reunion kissing scene. (And the makeup to cover it shows in the 'let's get an apt in town' scene.)

(Personally, if I were him I would hesitate to get tattoos on the hands & wrists, because makeup people will have to fuss with covering those for just about every film & stage project he ever does the rest of his life. But I guess a great enough actor can get away with it...)

The one with the circles all in a row they make up to be a celtic cross when the real design doesn't fit what role he is doing.  I have a couple articles that discuss his tatoos, I'll see if I can find them, next time I get all my stuff out.

I love the kestrel (Australian hawk-bird of prey) flying--but not as much as KOAS and old man river---the maple leaf he got while they were in Canada for BBM.

Can't say I care for that last one he got- the big black rectangle with the three circles in it, I think they are supposed to represent Heath, Michelle and Matilda--but it is very strange and will be HARD to cover up.
Also read that that much black ink won't age very well either, but I don't have tatoos so I can't say.

They did a really good job of covering up some of them during certain parts of BBM, and NOT so good in other parts of it??, and lots of times, like in The Order, he wears a leather wrist band to cover up the KAOS.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Artiste on April 15, 2007, 10:46:59 pm
Does he want to age himself or to feel old with tatoos??

Or are these tatoos just like signs, like Maple Leaf for doing the acting in the BM film??

Like a sign of unless age, like a sculptor does a bronze, or a painter creates a painting??

Or just a social things, as tatoos are popular for many right now, like feeling his youth or scared of lost of youthness??  Or is it becoming an adult??

Hugs!!

I don't know, tatoos are not my thing.   With Heath they seem sort of symbolic of places he has been or people/situations that are important to him.     With my own son, I personally think it was a fad dare. LOL
And I know several older navy guys with tatoos that looked really good when they were young and tight, but when the skin starts to sag, wrinkle, and loosen, they are almost unrecognizable if they don't tell you what they were.    Heard one woman say that when her son wanted a bird, she told him 35 years from now it will look like some kind of monster out of a nightmare.  Had to laugh, but it could well turn out to be true.
A lot of how it ages will depend on size/detailing and where they are placed and the type of musculature under the skin.


There is a rumor/blog going around that Heath's Joker will have gray skin and lots of facial scarring--and he won't be wearing a purple suit either, more like raggedy jacket pants that he has put on without much thought--wonder how much input Heath had into that?? LOL   They also say that there won't much funny about him, more scary, in keeping with the scary scarecrow type sinister feelings in the first one.

That is one cute Heath-baby. The perfect mix of mom and dad. As for paps and pics, Michelle and Heath are pretty fiercely protective of their privacy and the security of their child. As long as they are in the public eye she will be as well. If a photo is taken with their knowledge and agreement I have no problem with it being posted-it was their decision. I don't, however, condone "invasion" photography.

This appears to be approved:

"Matilda Ledger visits mom on set
By Sarah, CBB News Editor
 Michelle Williams had a special visitor today on the set of her film, Incendiary, in London. Matilda Rose Ledger, 17 months, ran to Michelle on a walkway on the second floor, where mom scooped her up into a hug. No Heath Ledger spottings though - Matilda was with a friend of Michelle's.

Matilda wears No Added Sugar's Happy Bunny tee ($41)."

His father is a mechanical engineer---and his designs are improving and building car engines, not a designer as in rooms or buildings.  Strictly speed, and grease/oil.
No, Heath doesn't design that sort of stuff, and is not an engineer---though he is starting to direct videos and maybe movies in his future, he does have artistic leanings though, he  paints, and he writes poetry, and is getting into photography, and is quite good and pretty serious about it I hear.
His father said once that he sort of expected Heath to want to race, but Heath has no desires in that direction, and never cared for racing cars.  Though he loved his first muscle car--a mustang, had it sent to Australia too.

Not that any of us real people will see so far-SIGH
there was an interview some years ago, maybe the Vanity Fair, I can't remember, I have it someplace though, but Heath's Dad, had mentioned that Heath painted the ceiling on his room in some abstract skyline type mural that he was very impressed with  it at the time, and Heath had told him he was going to be an artist, and be very good at it.   And he had other canvas type paintings at his parents---and who knows, maybe now in one of his own houses, but I doubt he will be selling any of, or letting it be open to the public at least at this stage.   And with his now blooming/booming acting career in full swing, I don't know how much he paints any more, as this part of the article/interview was talking about Heath while he was still in Australia and starting to do Sweat, it was like background info, leading into his current career--I keep thinking he was starting to film  A Knights Tale which is why the mag wanted to interview him.  I am not sure if he really has any time to actually paint much anymore.
But who knows what the future might bring??

And I know in another interview, possibly an internet article, he said he wrote some poetry almost every day--NOW that is something I would dearly love to read sometime if he ever lets any of it out of his own journals.  But there again, I doubt I will ever get to see any of it.

I am happy about your information.

It could become handy for Heath to create paintings again
since he wants to do films,
because certain movies require that art!!

And often a storyboard can be made with paintings and/or drawings.
Even poetry can be illustrated that way too!

If I was doing art exhibitions in Los Angeles again,
I would invite him to show his art. Where does he live?

If you have any more information about his creations,
please let me know,

A bit more on The Dark Knight:

According to sources, "The Dark Knight" is now doing "pre-production filming" in Chicago. The production will spend six days in the Windy City before jetting over to London to do almost all of the movie. Those pics you saw last week (the blurry ones of Heath Ledger as The Joker) were from Chi-town, which is where part of a bank robbery sequence is being shot.

Regarding cast, fans of character actor William Fichtner will be happy to know that he's been cast as a bank manager. (If you don't recognize the name, I bet you know the guy from movies like "Armageddon," "Go," "Ultraviolet," and "Blades of Glory.") Also, Joker's gang will be portrayed by actors Michael Stoyanov, William Smiley, and Matthew O'Neil.

Those pics you saw last week (the blurry ones of Heath Ledger as The Joker) were from Chi-town, which is where part of a bank robbery sequence is being shot.

So you're saying I could run into Heath at any minute in a bookstore or coffee shop?  :o

For the truly obsessed, here's a YouTube of filming that occurred on Saturday in Chicago. It doesn't look like much, but Katherine, maybe you'll recognize some of the locations?

No sign of Heath, no sign of anybody, really.

Heath the Joker
By Clayton Bloom. Posted: Tuesday, April 24 2007 .

The first pics of Heath Ledger as you've never seen him before are here, and they're spooky.

Heath will play the maniacal Joker in upcoming Batman flick The Dark Knight and has been testing some make-up for the part.

The green hair, pale skin and cheekbone to cheekbone scar are a far cry from his previous characters.

Question is, will he live up to the high benchmark set by Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman?

It does not look like Heath to me, but to be fair they did not say it was Heath only that it was a family photo. This gentleman could be another member of the immediate family. Now I do think he looks a little like Heath, certainly enough to be related.

Supposedly that make up photo is a fake, photoshopped by some kid with time on his hands. Look carefully at the middle picture (the one with the colored boxes) and count the number of fingers on his hand. LOL...yes, I think it's fake!

http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11556815&postcount=3864

This from CinemaBlend:

 Last week the first fuzzy pictures of Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight leaked out onto the web. But really, it was impossible to see anything in them. They looked like someone smeared Vaseline on their camera lens before taking them.

Luckily, the guys over at AICN have scored the first clear picture of Ledger in full Joker costume. They’re pretty sure the picture is real, and it does fit with some of the scooper descriptions of his getup we’ve seen from other sites. I’m not sure how I feel about the drowned rat look, but a toned down (and possibly boring) version of the character is probably what we all should have expected from Christopher Nolan. I wonder if he’ll even laugh? Ah well.

I’ve posted a small version of the image to the right, but make sure you click over to AICN here to see a full size version in which Ledger appears to be holding a rubik's cube.

UPDATE! As everyone except the site that originally posted the pics suspected, the Ledger as Joker pics have turned out to be fake. A fanboy with too much time on his hands and a bedroom in his parents' basement has taken responsibility for them over at Superherohype, and admitted to making the whole thing up. Thank AICN for helping him get his jollies.

Superherohype has pictures from the filming yesterday, but no pictures of the fire.


Where's Mr. Freeze when you need him? Filming on the next installment in the Batman franchise, "The Dark Knight," was halted temporarily while firefighters attended a blaze in a building being used for filming. The 14-story building, formerly a post office, is set-dressed as the Gotham National Bank--presumably the Joker (Heath Ledger, this time around) is planning some kind of heist.

The conflagration seems to have started in the ventilation system (combustible dust, one imagines) and was not apparently connected to the production. Nobody was hurt, and the fire engines left after about two hours. Filming will pick up again tomorrow.

"The Dark Knight" is a follow-up to "Batman Begins" (2005). Christopher Nolan is again directing, and Christian Bale is again donning the bat suit. Despite the title similarities, this film is not based on the popular Frank Miller graphic novel of the same name. But it's fun to think it might be.

Since there is so much speculation on Heath as the Joker, I thought I'd remind people of these pictures, from last summer, when he was cast in the role.

Some silliness to start your week:

"THERE'S method acting, and then there's madness. Heath Ledger is getting into the mindset for his role as The Joker in the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight, by wearing Batman boxer shorts under his costume.

They were given to him as a joke by fiancee Michelle Williams, but a Hollywood source said: "They've got Batman logos all over them and were meant as a bit of a joke, but Heath's wearing them as a lucky charm ...but he's promised to get them washed as often as he can."

We're just glad he's not playing The Riddler. "

I'd say one doesn't wear any underwear at all under such a tight fitting Riddler's costume.....

So if Heath played the Riddler instead of the Joker he'd go commando all the time instead of wearing Batman boxers.

Wow!  Now why didn't *that* happen? I still think playing the Joker is a terrible career choice for him, but if it *had* to be a superhero fantasy film thingie, then a skin-tight costume sure wouldn't have gone amiss. Would even make *me* pay up happily for the ticket!  :P

Taking a break from shooting the upcoming "Batman" sequel, Heath Ledger strolled the streets of London yesterday pushing around his daughter Matilda Rose in a stroller. Daddy day care, anyone? Ledger, who will take on the role of The Joker in "The Dark Knight," was on diaper duty on the streets of Soho while Matilda's mommy Michelle Williams films "Incendiary" in the UK's capitol with Ewan McGregor.

Perhaps a remake of "Mr. Mom" is in Heath's future.

According to a couple of different sources, that Joker photo of Heath is legit. This is from an Australian newpaper:

NO joke, this is what Heath really looks like in character for the new Batman film.

Fans were set in a spin by a spoof mock-up that whizzed around the internet earlier this year, purporting to show the star in make-up as the Caped Crusader's arch-enemy The Joker.

But today we can show you the real thing.

A movie tie-in website has revealed a sneak peek of what Australian actor Ledger will look like in the sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, which is filming now.

Two websites created to tie-into the film, I believe in Harvey Dent and I believe in Harvey Dent too, have enabled viewers to assemble the picture of Ledger in full-Joker makeup, pixel-by-pixel.

The websites are part of a guerilla advertising campaign by studio Warner Bros, to promote the forthcoming Christopher Nolan directed film, and feature another of the movie's stars, Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, who becomes the villian Two-Face in the comic-book continuity of Batman.

The Dark Knight is expected to be released next year.

Post by: MaineWriter on May 21, 2007, 11:32:04 am
And another report:


The dark and grainy image shows Ledger's character in the 2008 movie will appear less clownish and more gothic than in previous incarnations of the Joker.

While it is difficult to tell whether his hair will be classic Joker green, Ledger's lips are clearly less red and more scar-tissue pink.

The heavy scarring relates to part of the Joker's fictional origin, when the character fell into a vat of chemicals while escaping from Batman — and emerged as a clownish maniac.

Earlier this month Christian Bale, who will play Bruce Wayne in the new movie, said he is thrilled by Heath's portrayal as his arch-enemy.

"He is a great choice for it. I like it, personally," said Bale.

"Heath has a really crazy take for playing that role. He's going to do something really different with it."

Thanks for posting those articles, MainWriter.  I was hoping that the above version of the Joker would be legit, it's so damn creepy and effective (unlike the previous photoshopped disaster we've all seen).  Now I really can't wait to see the movie!  Just thinking about it gives me a woody and I'm not even a Batman fanboy.  I actually only purchased the DVD of Batman Returns when I found out that Heath would be in the next film. 

I was pleased to see that Aaron Eckhart would be playing Harvey Dent/Two Face, he should be perfect for the role.  All hail Christopher Nolan!

I have a feeling this may become my first superhero movie ever.... I've seen parts of various Superman and Spiderman movies over the years, but never made it through a whole movie. And I never saw the slightest bit of any Batman movie (or comic for that matter). But with Heath and Christopher Nolan as director, I think it can't be too bad.

But with Heath and Christopher Nolan as director, I think it can't be too bad.

Throw in Christian Bale, and I can guarantee you right now I'm going to make it through the whole thing!  ;)

Wow, he's really matured into a man since I saw him in Little Women and Topanga Canyon (Is that what it was called - with Frances McDormand as his hippy mom?).

Yeah, let alone since he was in Empire of the Sun at 12. Geez, I hate lusting for movie stars who I can remember as child actors in movies that I saw as an adult ...  :-\ Oh well, what can you do?! Actually, he's five years older than Heath!

It was Laurel Canyon. But I found him sufficiently mature in that one. (Guess he would have been Heath's age!)

Laurel Canyon, right.  I knew there was something off about Topanga, but was too lazy to look on IMDb.  :)

I'd like to see Empire of the Sun again.  Good music.  Met that song "Suo Gan" in that movie, one of my favorite lullabies.

More Dark Knight news....


This post was written by Laura Smith on 24 May, 2007 (07:04) | All News, Entertainment, Celebrity News, Movie News, US News

The sequel to Christopher Nolan’s 2005 film, Batman Begins won’t be out until next July, but internet buzz has already been circulating for months. Once it was declared that Heath Ledger would be cast as The Joker in the next film titled The Dark Knight, fans began to voice their approval or distain for the decision. Overall, however, Ledger has been generally well received by internet bloggers, and with the first photos beginning to circulate, some of which have been considered fakes, people are getting even more curious about this new movie, including myself.

First there was the rumor that Ledger’s Brokeback Mountain co-star Jake Gyllenhall was being cast as Harvey Dent. That myth has since been busted with the Internet Movie Database declaring Aaron Eckhart as the schizophrenic District Attorney who eventually becomes the coin-flipping Two-Face. That particular story arc is said to not occur until the next Batman film. That’s right, Nolan is signed on for three. With all of this talk of villains, however, there is really no news about the real star of the film, Batman, causing one to wonder whether or not the villains will overtake the screen time as they did in the previous Batman films. This is not to say that the dominating presence of the villains ruined the previous films, but I for one am already a bit disgruntled about the return of two villains that we have already seen on screen. Nolan defends this by saying that his films are totally unrelated to Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher’s visions, but at the same time, this does not erase the fact that audiences have seen these villains in action before, no matter how different they are from the previous characters.

I am willing to slide with the reusing of the Joker as he is Batman’s greatest foe and interesting enough to reuse, especially if Nolan plans to go darker with the new version, which he says he does. My only suggestion would be to write in Harley Quinn as Joker’s ditsy sidekick, a character who was a hit on the after school hit, Batman: The Animated Series. The dysfunctional relationship these two engaged in on the series would be a good way to lighten up the heaviness of Nolan’s style for the kids without getting to overwhelming colorful Schumacher phase. Also, while I think the portrayal of Two-Face in Batman Forever could have been more true to the original characterization as well, that ship is sailed.

I just hope that Ledger and Eckhart will surprise me without freaking me out by going too dark or too low-key. Ledger, especially, has big shoes to fill after Nicholson’ performance in 1989’s Batman, but because Ledger has the Joker’s physique and with his recent film roles appears to be willing to tackle complex characters, I think he has a chance. But until the first teaser trailer emerges and we can see for ourselves, we can do nothing more but remain optimistic and hope that the Joker is the only one laughing once the movie comes out.

More Dark Knight news...this is from Cinematical


The Joker is a larger than life character -- and he's about to get even bigger. The Dark Knight will be the first feature film partly shot in the 70mm IMAX format. Christopher Nolan is shooting four action sequences on IMAX, including the introduction of Heath Ledger as The Joker. "You can't do this on any home theater," Nolan says. "Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible." And this won't be like when you go see Kickin' It Old Skool: The IMAX Experience, and it's just a larger, more stretched out image. These scenes are actually being shot on IMAX film. "There's simply nothing like seeing a movie that way," Nolan tells USA Today. "It's more immersive for the audience. I wish I could shoot the entire thing this way."

So why can't he? Well, for starters, there are only 280 IMAX theaters operating worldwide, and less than 100 show feature films. In addition, IMAX film is 10 times the size of standard, it's much more expensive, and it has to be shot using large, cumbersome cameras. Oh, and "they're loud," says Nolan. "We had to figure a way to eliminate sound so we could shoot dialogue." If you can't get to an IMAX theater, you'll still experience a hike in picture quality. In traditional movie houses, the scenes will appear more vivid, as though they were shot in hi-definition.

Below you'll find two official, newly released shots from The Dark Knight. The first is an IMAX shot of what appears to be a bank robbery gone awry. And the second shot is the first fully confirmed photo of The Joker in full hair and makeup. Pretty cool, huh? What do you think of the look?

More on IMAX and the Dark Knight


Official Dark Knight IMAX Press Release
Source: Warner Bros. Pictures
May 29, 2007


Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official announcement about the scenes to be filmed in IMAX format for The Dark Knight:

In an unprecedented move, director Christopher Nolan is filming four sequences in the next installment of Warner Bros. Pictures' Batman franchise, "The Dark Knight," with extremely high resolution IMAX® cameras using the giant 15/70 film format. The announcement was made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Production, Warner Bros. Pictures. While it is not unique for a feature lensed on traditional 35mm film to be re-mastered to screen in IMAX® theatres, this marks the first time ever that a major feature film has been even partially shot using IMAX cameras, marking a revolutionary integration of the two film formats.

The marriage of footage filmed with IMAX and 35mm cameras in the final feature will have a major impact on the audience's viewing experience, whether seeing "The Dark Knight" in an IMAX or traditional theatre. When the scenes shot on IMAX cameras are shown in IMAX theatres, the aspect ratio will morph to 1.43 to 1, expanding the image to fill the entire screen and magnifying the overall effect, both literally and figuratively.

In making the announcement, Jeff Robinov stated, "Warner Bros. has always been committed to advancing the art of filmmaking. The use of IMAX cameras to film select scenes in an action feature is a great step forward in big-screen entertainment, especially in the talented hands of Christopher Nolan. We can't wait to see the results, and we think audiences will share our excitement when the movie opens on July 18, 2008."

The first of the scenes, including a prologue that introduces Batman's arch-nemesis The Joker, was shot in April, several weeks in advance of the actual start of principal photography. Additional selected scenes are being filmed with IMAX cameras during the course of production on "The Dark Knight."

Director Christopher Nolan added, "In continuing the story of such a great icon I'm thrilled to be able to expand the scope of the film, not just in terms of its story, but in giving Batman and The Joker the largest possible canvas on which to face off. No existing technology compares with the IMAX format in terms of its ability to throw the audience into the action, and we're very proud and excited to use this technology in a way that no one has before."

Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. President of Domestic Distribution, offered, "Chris has been a huge fan of IMAX technology for a long time. It will be a groundbreaking event to see him incorporate the use of IMAX cameras into the 35mm presentation of 'The Dark Knight' when it opens nationwide on July 18, 2008, day-and-date with IMAX theatres."

"Mr. Nolan's enthusiasm towards IMAX, combined with the success of 'Batman Begins' in IMAX theatres underscores the significant impact that The IMAX Experience® has on audiences and the role IMAX can play in providing filmmakers with innovative ways to deliver movies," said IMAX Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "We are very excited to continue breaking new ground with Warner Bros. Pictures, and we look forward to sharing Mr. Nolan's new picture with our customers and their patrons next summer."

Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment, added, "Chris shares our vision that the moviegoing experience should transport audiences into the action. His innovative use of IMAX cameras to film scenes in 'The Dark Knight' will allow our crystal clear images, 14 thousand watts of digital surround sound, and screens up to eight-stories tall to give Batman fans the most immersive cinematic experience in the world. It is entertainment in a big, big way."

This is not the first time that Warner Bros. Pictures has set a new standard in its association with IMAX. Christopher Nolan's 2005 blockbuster "Batman Begins" was the first action feature to play on IMAX screens in museums as well as multiplexes, after being digitally remastered for the IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR® technology.

In 2006, "Superman Returns" became the world's first live-action feature to have selected segments converted from 2D into IMAX® 3D. Most recently, the mega-hit "300" obliterated all previous attendance records at IMAX theatres in its record-breaking opening weekend in March.

The follow-up to the action hit "Batman Begins," "The Dark Knight" reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne. In the new film, Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker.

The film also stars Academy Award winner Michael Caine ("The Cider House Rules") as Alfred; Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger ("Brokeback Mountain") as arch-villain The Joker; Gary Oldman as Lieutenant Jim Gordon; Aaron Eckhart as District Attorney Harvey Dent, who becomes better known as another of Batman's arch-nemeses, Two-Face; Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes; and Oscar winner Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby") as Lucius Fox.

"The Dark Knight" is being produced by Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan, with Kevin De La Noy, Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan serving as executive producers. Nolan is directing the film from a screenplay written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David Goyer. "The Dark Knight" is based upon Batman characters created by Bob Kane and published by DC Comics.

"The Dark Knight" will be presented by Warner Bros. Pictures in association with Legendary Pictures. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

IMAX Corporation is one of the world's leading entertainment technology companies, specializing in digital and film-based motion picture technologies. The worldwide IMAX network is among the most important and successful theatrical distribution platforms for major event Hollywood films around the globe, with IMAX theatres delivering the world's best cinematic presentations using proprietary IMAX, IMAX 3D, and IMAX DMR technology.

I was watching 'A Knight's Tale' the other day and i kept thinking 'is this the guy who played Ennis?'  ??? I have the same feeling seeing these pictures, he looks creepy, well, he's supposed to look like that of course. LOL

On the other hand, i'm glad he looks so different in his other roles. It makes Ennis a 'real' person, and not just a character in a movie. Creepy or not, he's a great actor.

First Poster for Bob Dylan Biopic 'I'm Not There' Arrives Online

Posted Jun 4th 2007 4:03PM by Erik Davis

The first poster for that Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There has apparently leaked online. I say 'leaked' because I don't believe it's been officially released, and the pics we do have aren't very clear. However, the poster offers us enough of a look at (I think) Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger as Bob Dylan. I'm not sure who that first guy is (Richard Gere?), but following him are, what appear to be, Blanchett, Bale and a very Buddy Holly-looking Ledger. Ben Whishaw and Marcus Carl Franklin are also playing Dylan in the film; in total, there will be six Bob Dylans. Confused? Good.

Directed (and co-written) by Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven), pic "follows seven characters, each embodying a different aspect of Dylan's life story and music," according to the description on IMDb. It's also the first biographical feature project that Dylan has ever approved of. Also starring Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams and David Cross, the film is set to arrive in theaters on September 21. I kind of dig the poster so far; it has a real trippy vibe to it -- one I'm sure will be present throughout the film. Heck, you have six people representing Bob Dylan (at different times in his life) through other characters. If that's not a head trip, I don't know what is. The Weinstein Co. will distribute, which is pretty funny seeing as they also sent Factory Girl into theaters; a film in which Hayden Christensen obviously portrayed Dylan (without the performer's permission) and subsequently pissed the guy off. So far, Dylan hasn't had any problems with I'm Not There; then again, we still have a few months before the film makes its grand entrance.

I found an interview in an Australian newspaper with Charlotte Gainsbourg, who is in a bunch of movies right now, including "I'm Not There." That's where I dug up this little tidbit...

In the interim she has made I'm Not There, Haynes's cinematic oddity featuring multiple Bob Dylans, two of whom are played by Cate Blanchett and Heath Ledger.

"Heath is playing a movie star, which fits in with Dylan himself. I'm his wife and this part of the project is about his life as a married man. Heath is very sweet. It was very easy working with him."

Certainly Ledger and Gainsbourg must have found they had a lot in common as she has long lived under the tabloid spotlight that Ledger detests.

To read the whole interview, go here:

Thanks, Leslie.  I never knew much about Charlotte Gainsbourg.  I recently saw "The Golden Door," and she was good in it, though there wasn't a lot for her to do.  She also made an interesting Jane Eyre, though rather severe, I thought.  I was surprised to read that she is such a free spirit, and the offspring of two Bohemian parents.

The news sleuth dug up this interesting story, which mentions our man Heath...


Out of Context: Z-Boys, Cool Losers
[13 June 2007]

by Ryan Smith

The convoluted saga behind the 11th hour rescue of the Horizons West Surf Shop in sunsoaked Santa Monica, California, spiritual home to a group of skating legends called the Z-Boys, raises important philosophical questions.  For instance, if life imitates art far more than art imitates life, as Oscar Wilde once asserted, what happens if life imitates art that is in turn imitating semi-biographical art that once imitated life? Secondly, and maybe most importantly, Can a bitchin’ Heath Ledger movie get a surf shop designated a historic landmark?

These are the million-dollar postmodern questions at the heart of a story that at times reads like a screenplay for a bad ‘80s movie written by metafiction guru, Charlie Kaufman.  But let’s start from the beginning.

For a majority of the time during the ‘70s and ‘80s, the south Santa Monica area bore an unsavory reputation as a beachside slum locals affectionately nicknamed “Dogtown”.  It’s an appropriate name, because it was a dog-eared place full of gutter punks, cracked sidewalks, graffiti-strewn storefronts, and rowdy hardcore shows. But like the rest of west Los Angeles, the gentrification of today’s Dogtown is increasingly palpable. Much of Main Street, where Horizon West sits, is awash with $1,500-a-month studio apartments, upscale boutiques, cool vegan restaurants and the Prius-driving, latte drinking, liberal upper class predominately connected to the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, the homegrown locals, artists, and bohemian types that once embraced Dogtown have either been priced out or are clinging desperately to rent-controlled apartments as the city around them grows into a Beverly Hills for Ralph Nader voters.

In stark contrast, the beat-up, ramshackle Horizons West building stands out as a tacky relic from the not-so-distant past. It’s of little surprise then, considering skyrocketing property values, that Juli Doar, the owner of the lot containing Horizons West, which also houses a pair of rundown artist studios and a parking lot, last year announced her intentions to demolish all of the structures to construct a 14-unit apartment complex in its stead. It would be a happy, environment-friendly apartment complex, yes, but an apartment complex nonetheless.

Now, had Doar acted earlier, say five years ago, Horizons West would probably be a pile of pastel-colored rubble by now. But little did she know that Stacy Peralta, one of the former store’s patrons and a former Z-boy himself, would make two films waxing nostalgic for the place as if it were the skateboarding equivalent of Monticello.

Curiously enough, it was a feature article published in Spin Magazine in 1999 that first started the fetishizing of the mid-70’s heyday of a ragtag bunch of skateboarding teens known as the Z-boys and their favorite hangout, the Jeff Ho & Zephyr Productions Surf Shop. (see “The Lords of Dogtown”, by G. Beato, March 1999) Written with unflinching hyperbole, (the author of the piece describes a wave as “almost pornographic in its perfect, arcing glassiness") the Z-boys were coronated as “Lords of Dogtown,” and credited with everything from birthing modern skateboarding techniques and its rebellious, non-comformist image to embodying the spirit and image of the punk rocker a full year before the Sex Pistols struck it big.

As the legend goes, Z-boys like Peralta, Tony Alva, and Jay Adams invaded the in-ground swimming pools of rich Los Angelenos during a summer drought and, using moves they learned while surfing near the Pacific Pier, spontaneously invented aerial skating. In the summer of 1975 the Z-boys unveiled their newfangled style at a national competition held in Del Mar, California, instantly transforming the boring, static world of skateboarding on its head and becoming rock star-like icons in the process. Like real rock stars, unfortunately, the Z-boys broke up by the next year in grand VH1 Behind the Music fashion as they fell prey to drugs, crime, or the trappings of their newfound fame.

The Spin article inspired Peralta, a filmmaker who had made popular skate videos in the past, to make a self-congratulatory documentary in 2001 called Dogtown and the Z-Boys, a film funded by the Vans shoe company (presumably to sell a few canvas high-tops to skateboarders.) Four years later, its dramatized companion piece, Lords of Dogtown, arrived in theaters starring a well-coifed Heath Ledger as Skip Engblom, one of the shop’s owners, who chews scenery by channeling Val Kilmer channeling Jim Morrison . (On a side note, Peralta takes the term “vanity project” to a new level by writing a movie in which he portrays himself as the responsible, saint-like protagonist and also makes a gratuitous cameo appearance.)

About the time Lords of Dogtown was released, Randy Wright, another owner of Horizons West, reinvented a wing of the shop as a shrine to the Dogtown and Z-boy crew - filling it with old pictures and T-shirts, skateboards and surfboards for sale bearing the official Zephyr team logo. This despite the fact that Horizons West hadn’t had official ties with the Z-Boys since the days of disco. Tony Alva opened his own skate shop near Hollywood, Peralta had his own line of boards, and most of the others were scattered elsewhere.  Wright had owned the shop since 1987, after original Z-Boy Nathan Pratt sold it to him. Pratt had run the shop since 1977 after Zephyr and Jeff Ho Productions closed its doors. It made sense though, as the Z-Boy museum became a marketing tool to lure people from around the world to visit as a kind of pilgrimage and buy a surfboard or Dogtown T-shirt. As the guys at Horizons will admit, few cared about the building or knew who the Z-Boys were before the movies were released.  Even the family that had owned the property for 60 years didn’t know.

Arguably, through the power of cinema, Horizons emerged as a strong source of countercultural civic pride. And so in October 2006, the demolition permit that hung on the steel gate outside of Horizons became the Santa Monica version of Martin Luther’s 95 Theses. It didn’t take long for aging Dogtownies and local extreme sports enthusiasts to begin rattling their proverbial sabers (longboards?) for the sake of saving the shop from destruction. Some passed out petitions, others cried out at public meetings, flyers were stuck on car windshields, and most appropriately, a rock concert benefit was held to save the shop.

To me the Kaufman-like element of this story is that so many of the surf shop’s proponents, many of whom either appeared as themselves in a documentary or had quasi-fictionalized characters based on them in a movie, acted as if they were trapped in a real-life snobs versus slobs movie from the ‘80s – the kind of irreverent, heartwarming comedy typical of the era in which the ragtag band of kids or the free-thinking, individualistic iconoclasts rise up and band together to save their personal sanctuaries / clubhouses / camps from the clutches of evil, mustache-twirling businessmen hellbent on turning their favorite places into soulless parking lots or strip malls. (See: The Goonies, Ernest Goes to Camp, Revenge of the Nerds, and countless others).

In the case of Dogtown, it was the middle-aged locals who pictured themselves as skate-or-die rebels that fought to preserve this symbol of their glorious youth. Peralta embraced this role completely. When a radio station asked him if he thought Horizons would be saved he remarked: “Not when you’re dealing with affluent people. This is all about money. This is about making the city shine for the rich and super rich. The Zephyr shop represents a rogue activity, rogue people, in their minds. They don’t want to be associated with people like that.”

In other words, the fight to save Horizons West was more than just a grass roots effort to save a surf shop. The underlying motivation was also about Sticking It to The Man. Us versus Them. Punk culture versus conformist culture. Poor against rich. All, interestingly enough, attitudes heavy in the subtext of the Z-Boys movies.

But this is a strange, almost hypocritical position to embrace because the fact is that the Z-Boys and their ilk, like skating culture at large, are no longer the lovable, scrappy underdog. The X-Games and skateboarding are now a harmless part of the pop-culture zeitgeist. Tony Hawk is a multimillionaire entrepreneur who just had a ride at Six Flags named after him. The Z-Boys are no longer unappreciated footnotes in the sands of time. Many of the men and women themselves are now older, middle class, successful and comfortable.

And as often is the case in real life, there was no bogeyman in Santa Monica, no evil force other than the dog-eat-dog realities of capitalism. Doar wanted to build a sustainable, enviro-friendly apartment complex, not a monolithic apartment lot. When she discovered the history of the place, Doar held an olive branch out in the form of a series of public meetings seeking input on how best to commemorate the Z-Boys’ legacy. The City’s Landmarks Commission, meanwhile, began exploring a way to preserve the shop by designating it a landmark. There was certainly no evil cackling involved.  (See “Zephyr Rally Cry” by Mary Buckheit, EXPN.com, 14 March 2007)

Up until the last moment, however, Jeff Ho and other Dogtown devotees remained skeptical, Ho was still expecting that something wasn’t going to work out.  But it did. In the end, a compromise was struck. The owner and architect agreed to preserve the surf shop and incorporate it into the new development, and the Landmarks Commission decided the shop was “culturally significant” enough to designate. It was a ‘win-win-win-win’ situation, remarked one commissioner.

They say history is written by the winners, and suddenly there is a lot of it documented about these self-proclaimed outcasts and rebels. In recognizing that truth, though, the Z-Boys would be going off script and defying roles they wrote for themselves to let the whole world see what cool losers they really were.

If you could invite four people from any point in history to a dinner party, who would they be and why? [The sailor] Sir Peter Blake, because he is my hero. Peter Caffari: it would be lovely to have dinner with my father again. Amelia Earhart, was a pioneering woman who took flying to another level. And Heath Ledger - he is lovely to look at.

Actress, Michelle Williams and her daughter, Matilda, 19 months strolled around their neighbourhood of Brooklyn in NYC, during the week. Michelle’s fiancee Aussie actor Heath Ledger didn’t join them.

Michelle’s life has changed a lot in the past 2 years, not only has she had a child but her career has taken off, she has wrapped up filming for ‘Incendiary’, is currently shooting ‘Synecdoche’ and is also scheduled to play Charlotte Bronte in a biopic, so she commented recently;

“It wasn’t that long ago that I was sleeping until noon.”

Matilda rides around in her Maclaren 2006 Techno XT Stroller in Storm Grey, available online for $300.

More Dark Knight news....

Joker Sightings!
The latest buzz on The Dark Knight.
by Stax

June 19, 2007 - With filming on The Dark Knight underway, you should expect plenty of eyewitness spy reports to start popping up online. Today, there's word of scenes involving almost all the film's major characters, including The Joker and Harvey Dent.

A scooper for JoBlo.com witnessed a key scene being filmed in Chicago. Here's a taste of what they had to say (beware of spoilers): "The scene is a fundraiser for Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) and it was in the lobby for either a hotel of some sort or of Bruce Wayne's mansion. First part of the night was Eckhart coming in from an elevator and making his entrance. Michael Caine was there and filming his shot for a good three hours. After that was done, then it was Batman's turn. He came in out of a helicopter with a hot model on each side, he truly knows how to make an entrance. But the big news is THE JOKER IS CRASHING THE (expletive) FUNDRAISER. Yessireebob, you read that correctly. He is going to make an entrance (hopefully involving the breaking of a window or two) and 'crash' the party."

JoBlo.com also had a follow-up on another scene involving the filming of a political ad for Harvey Dent where the Joker and his goons stage a surprise attack (Heath Ledger's Joker even reportedly started smacking extras!). Batman and Rachel Dawes were also on hand for the scene.

I know Lee. One of the many time I wanted to 'step into the movie' and give Ennis a hug...


Just to bring some balance... Happy Ennis!

There are some photos and a video on Splash News of Heath with Matilda taken in NYC a couple of days ago, we can do without the nasty comments but the photos are cute, here's the link:

Apparently he's having a break from the filming of TDK.

It took me a few times of reading "Gyllenhaal" before I registered they meant Maggie.  Why do people say such ugly things about people they don't even know, and who haven't done a thing in the world to them?

Looking at that video with my mama eyes, I see a lot to like about Heath's parenting - he engages verbally and physically with Matilda at every turn.  But ugh - that photo of her looking toward the camera and clinging to his leg.  Makes me want to apologize to her for even looking at the photos (which, I admit, I did for several minutes, trying to wring all info out of them I could). 

He looks like he's in lean, working-out shape.   One of my favorites is him playing "After you, Alphonse" with the fellow in blue.  But then ugh, the other guy who reaches over and touches Matilda's head, while blocking their exit from the place, and then looking over at the paparazzi.  Ugh.  Ugh.  Ugh.

I could never ever live that life.  I wonder how celebrities stand it.

That site is something else!  I felt like taking a shower after reading those hateful comments.  It's easy to assume that the posters are just stupid kids but sadly, I'm sure some of them are stupid adults. There is this one hateful b!tch on the IMDb Heath board that spews similar bile and she claims to be married with kids.  I hope it's not true, I hate the idea of those people procreating, lol!

Anyway, Heath looks mighty fine!

You know, I saw "1408" today, with another one of my favorite actors, John Cusack.  And what sticks out the most in my mind hours later?  This beach dude who came up to John's "Michael" after he'd gotten caught in the undertow while surfing and was lying on the beach spitting out water, and, leaning over him, said "You all right, buddy?"  HE LOOKED JUST LIKE HEATH.

Since the filmmaker showed that not once, but twice, I gotta wonder...  Coincidence?  I think not.

I think Ledger's casting is a very inspired one; he's definetly a good enough actor and it'll be intriguing to see how he's goin to pull off the role...... but I still find it hard to believe that Ennis Del Mar is goin to be playing the greatest superhero villain ever! : /

I don't think he looks his best on those pictures. I could swear he is hung over. Anyway, what got my attention were the comments. Apparently there are a few people who seem to be trying to get the rest of us believe they are Heath's personal biographers. There's one who went as far as to say that Heath sleeps around when Michelle is away. WTF? How could they possible know that? Give me a break.

So, Barb, what did you think of 1408, anyway? I just read the Pajiba review and I might actually be persuaded to go see a horror movie...and I usually don't do horror!

A little something from "The Order", which I actually liked. Heath has made some "interesting" choices in roles but one of the things I admire about him is that he gives his all no matter what. I used to not see much of Ennis in him, but now when I look into his eyes, I find my much loved "cowboy"

Someday I'm going to buy me ROAR on DVD now that it's out.  Thanks for that one, Roux.

How I (finally) figured out how to suck images off of IMDb, with my Mac laptop.  Adjust as needed to PC:


1) Smallen the window enough that you can see your desktop behind the window.  Even a little bit of desktop showing is enough.
2) Choose photo to suck.
    2a) (this step may not be necessary) Above photo click on "Previous," then click on "Next."  *
3) Push "ctrl" and click on photo (if that doesn't work, go back to step 2a).
4) Drag now-highlighted photo off window and onto desktop.  Release all buttons you were pushing.  The .jpg is now on your desktop, and thus in your computer.
5) Start a post in "Heath Heath Heath" thread.
6) Click on "More Options" on lower left.
7) Click on "Attach file."  The file to attach will be the newest one on your desktop, because you just put it there a minute ago.
8 ) Repeat as desired within this or a new post.  You won't see the image until you click "Post."

Voila!  It's not the easiest, but practicing, I got pretty efficient at it last night.
   
*For some reason, this won't work if you have just clicked on the photo, so clicking "Previous" and then "Next" seems to refresh or reset something and makes this work.

Post by: belbbmfan on July 03, 2007, 01:38:43 am

Yes, it is creepy those kids, including Matilda Ledger, have their own IMDb page when they aren't exactly actors. I found out about those pages when looking for information about Brad Pitt's upcoming movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I saw Shiloh listed as an actress. She apparently plays Benjamin Button when he's a baby (I suppose, considering Shilloh looks a lot like Brad). It really shocked me. I agree with Susiebell here, that shouldn't be allowed by law.

You can't rightclick imdb pics for downloading or copying them. But you can download the whole page on your PC. Download it into your picture program, then get rid of all other elements of that side you've also downloaded, like advertisments, the imdb logo, etc.



Edit: Oooops. I don't recommend my method. I have problems deleting some of the elements of the imdb page I've downloaded. Even when they're on my PC, in my files, I still can't rightclick them. So I have to open every single one and only then am able to delete them  :P

Try opening just the picture you want to keep.
Save it in another location,  under another name.
Delete all the original webpage stuff, folders and all.

I've been waiting for Candy to eventually make its cinema premiere over here, but it's still just listed under "premiere date yet to be decided".  I suppose they're going to wait till they can kill two birds with one stone and celebrate Heath's 50th birthday with it, or something.  ::) :-\ >:(   But your post caused me to check if it's now available in region 2 DVD, and it's just become available, at least in the UK! So I placed my order right away and should get to see it soon enough. A new Heath film, so soon after "Zodiac", it's all good!  :) Of course, once I'm *that* far in my thinking I remember what "Candy" is all about and the impact it's had on those reviewers whose opinions I've read.... and I admit that I rather dread watching it. But I *will* watch it.

If it gets too depressing, I know I can come here for some counselling and words of support. And nice pics of Heath to cheer me up.

Here's another way to get an image off of IMDb, but it's even less easy:

In the top bar of your screen, under "View," click on "View Source."  That will show you all the code for the whole page.  Figure out which tiny piece is the image you want.  Copy and paste it into the "Heath Heath Heath" thread.

From an article I read on the IMDb Heath Ledger board:

Michelle Williams has spunk! Nominated for a Best Actress Indie Spirit Award for the micro-budget Land of Plenty, Williams admitted that many people criticized her for flipping the bird from their vacation hotel balcony at the paparazzi who were harassing her and Heath Ledger. She said that she and Ledger tend to walk around with sulky scowls when the photogs lurk so that the pictures won't get published. "They're looking for photos that make us look like we're living the happy life," she said.

But those scowling pictures DO get published. I see them all the time -- not just of Heath and Michelle, of course, but of all kinds of celebrities. So I would think they'd be as in demand as the happy ones. And however much I wouldn't like paparazzi taking pictures of me, I'm pretty sure that when they inevitably did I'd prefer to see happy-looking ones in print than scowling ones.

If I were the suspicious type, I'd think it sounds like Michelle is making an excuse to cover genuine unhappiness that the paparazzi captured. But maybe not, maybe it's just a strategy that makes sense to them.

I don't see this as a case of not being appreciative of what they have or their fan base. It's about photographers in your face all. the. time. Sure, they are in an industry that imposes on privacy in a major way but put yourself in their plac.-your every move becoming someone else's business. In my opinion, no one deserves that, I don't care what industry they choose. It's kinda like saying if you choose to become an actor, you no longer have any say on how you move through the world.

As for the scowling-I was watching E!News or one of those shows and some other actress (whose name escapes me at the moment) expressed the same sentiment. She also felt if she was cranky faced the chances of having a photo publshed were diminished.

Re the paparazzi debate: Yes, undoubtedly having paparazzi and/or fans follow you everywhere would be nightmarish. I'd hate to be unable to ever ever ever be private in public, to think that if I don't style my hair before going to the gym my scuzzy appearance will pop up in grocery-store checkout lines across the land, etc. It would be awful. Under any circumstances, that would seriously get on my nerves.

On the other hand, if my agent or Ang Lee or someone came to me and said, "Well, here's the tradeoff. if you go down this path you'll make millions of dollars a year and you'll be famous and critically acclaimed and adored by regular people and your name will go down in history as a great artist and everyone will admire your craft and if so inclined you'll be able to close down Disneyland for your kids' birthday party and blah blah blah .... BUT you'll have to deal with the paparazzi ..."

Well, I might not make my decision in an hour. But probably by the next day.

   I guess I knew that my idea was off most peoples radar.  However I didnt know that my expressing of my opinion would make me subject to being removed from the welcome wagon.  If that is the price i have to pay in order to say what I think.  I guess I will just have to resign.  I just happen to think that if people know going in what they are in for.  They should be more aware of how to deal.  or not have it bother them so much...You simply cannot have your cake and eat it too in this world.  Its all about choices.. 
    Like I said, all they have to do is quit doing what they do.  If it is such a burden...It would be like a restaurant complaining about having to wash the dishes, after serving meals, and being paid.  There is always something about all jobs that people do that they dont like.  If that is the only thing they have that they dont like, then i would say they are lucky indeed.  Its a terrible thing to have to deal with.  But its not like they are royalty and born into it.  They choose this life. 
     People in this lifestyle never seem to be complaining for having the ability to have exclusive designers make them clothing for free, which they often get to keep.  They never complain about the free gifts and loads of perks for just showing up to a function, or award show.  They never whine about all the free trips etc they receive for gratis.  Its uncomfortable to not be able to walk on the street and not be recognized and photographed.. I still say it is ungrateful. 
      Ask a person living in Africa, with aids and no medicines if they would trade places.  Ask a refugee who lives in a small hut in a war torn country,
or a mother somewhere with no food for her children.  I am sure you would find they would all choose that life over the one they are living. 
    I personally think we are losing sight of what is true duress and just plain complaining.   
     If you think i should resign. just pm. me and if i get a few that think so.  I shall do it.  But im not going to quit speaking out about things I feel strongly about...
     All I have to say is remember John Kennedy Jr.  He walked around all over and no one harrassed him.  I think its about how you act..as much as how you are treated.                               my rant is over.    janice

With all due respect, I couldn't disagree with you more on this, Janice.  I am with rouxb and oilgun on this issue.

The photo in question was taken at a holiday resort where Heath and Michelle were having a vacation before Heath started the filming of The Dark Knight.   They were having a sunbath within the premise of the resort and the paparazzi took the photo from outside.   If my memory serves, I think I read some reports that Michelle was nude or topless when they discovered the pap, so I think it's quite understandable that they were so pissed.  If they were on a beach, I can understand your rant but even then, I still think they deserved privacy during their private time.

If you look at the other paps photos that were taken when Heath and Michelle were in public places, they surely have mellowed even if they were with Matilda who they have tried very hard to protect from public eyes.  Look at the recent photos when Heath was strolling with Matilda in London and Brooklyn, he just let the photographer take photos.

Janice, I want to stress that this post is not to target you because I've seen the same opinions from others.  I just can't accept the opinion that because they are in this business, they are making big money therefore they are not entitled to complain; can't it be that they also really like to act that's why they're staying!  I for one do not wish to see the day that Heath (or any other celebrities) becomes so fed up with the intrusion by the paparazzi that they've decided to leave.  I would take watching their talents displayed on the big screen over drooling over some paps photos any day.

I'm with yb, Rouxb, and oilgun on this.

Doctors and lawyers don't get followed around by people looking for medical and legal advice in their private time.  They make a lot of money.  Some of them are even famous.

I don't think actors owe us anything but the best job they can do on a movie or in a play at any given time.  It's one thing to do the publicity circuit for a movie to promote it, and to do photo shoots for magazines to promote yourself and/or your projects.  It's another to be stalked by vultures looking to make a buck off *your* looks and talent with no regard for your dignity.  They don't owe anybody that.

I've been in situations where I've seen famous people in private life, and if I were so inclined, I could have gone right up to them and asked for an autograph or whatever.  I won't do it.  I'll wait outside the stage door at a play, or I'll go to a book signing or Q&A at a film screening - there, they're purposely putting themselves out there for the fans.  But I refuse to interrupt a person's meal, or buying Starbucks coffee with his manager, or bicycling with his longtime friend, or watching her husband play a tennis match, to gush all over him or her.  It's just rude.

Did people like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep have this kind of problem? I don't remember them being in a lot of controversy with photogs in their early careers.  Maybe the younger actors/stars could get some advice from the older ones about how to deal.

It would get tiring to have to disguise yourself and sneak around when you wanted to go out. It gets tiring trying to pay all the bills and struggling to keep things in working order in my house too. There is an element of negativity in all kinds of everyday life. I can dream about what it would be like to be fabulously rich and beautiful, and they can dream about what it would be like to be anonymous.

I agree with ednbarby that people should not approach celebrities when they are in everyday activities. That would be rude. Some of our young stars may need to hire bodyguards during their heyday--and even that doesn't keep the picture takers away. Or they may need to work for legislation that keeps the paps at a greater distance.

A lot of celebs have gone through what the younger ones are going through, tho, and they've endured. And what a retirement! Anyone who is doing something he/she loves may have to take some bad with the good.

Well, all jobs have their good and bad sides. Some require you to risk your life every day. Some have no health insurance, and don't pay enough so you can afford to buy it privately. Some require doing physically hard or disgusting work. And some mean having to be harassed by paparazzi.

I'm not completely pooh-poohing the hassle of being pursued and watched constantly. It would be awful. I'd never dream of approaching a celebrity in his/her daily life.

But among all the potential downsides of jobs, I can't say that seems like the worst one. Especially when, as Janice said, it's balanced with all those other perks and favors and bonuses AND huge salaries.

Sorry, Janice, that comment about the Welcome Wagon was just a joke.  A joke gone bad, obviously ;)   Of course, everyone is welcome to express their opinion.  Please accept my apologies.

We have to admit that this paparazzi insanity has increased dramatically in the last few years.  Look at all the magazines that have popped up that support these bottom feeders.  Where there used to be just a couple there are now dozens, all featuring stalking photographs of celebrities buying coffee & scratching their bums.    I doubt that older stars, save maybe the Beatles and Elvis,  had to deal with this issue to such an extent.  It's become ridiculous and frankly disturbing when you consider what it says about our society.  I think that's why these paps bother me so much, their photographs make me feel like a pathetic voyeur or stalker, and they are impossible to avoid.  Not to mention that the paps were instrumental in the death of Diana.  How many celebrities have to die before we put a stop to this dangerous practive? ;-)  Of course there are the faux-celebrities that court the paps and would be nothing without them (The Paris Hiltons & Nicole Richies).  They can drive head-on into concrete columns anytime, lol!

I think it's simple ... there should be a law forbidding anyone from taking your photograh without your express permission unless you're a) At a public event b) At a photoshoot c) Doing something illegal.  No one has the right to chase you about incessantly, shoving a camera in your face.  These people have just as much right to privacy as every other human being!  There's already a law in place to protect children in the UK, it should be extended to include grown ups.

I think those restrictions would get pretty hazy in practice, though. What distinguishes a public event vs. just being out in public? For example, what about celebrities on the sidelines at basketball games? What if they're at the beach on the same day as a volleyball tournament (or whatever)? I think the courts would quickly fill with lawsuits devoted to untangling these questions.

And I wouldn't like to leave it up to some paparazzo to judge whether a celebrity is engaged in an illegal activity or not, especially because the photo itself might be unclear or deceptive. Can we be absolutely sure that the supermodel sitting next to some white lines is engaged in snorting cocaine? It sure would be in the paparazzo's interest to argue that she was, or try to compose the picture so it looks like she was, or even Photoshop it to look like she was, if it means the difference between a usable, legal and valuable photo vs. an unusable and thus worthless one.

Also, photos of crowds or street scenes would become pretty much obsolete -- no way to get express permission from all those people.

The rule now is that if you're out in public, you're fair game. Inconvenient for celebrities, no doubt, but it's hard to see a practical and fair way around that.

Or that the entire magazine buying and TV watching public doesn't have the common decency to know when to leave people alone. Paparazzi are only part of the problem. If there weren't a thriving market for those pictures, paparazzi would be out of their jobs. But the public's interest in celebrities' private lives seems boundless.

       I have the total solution for all of it.  It is as simple as the one i gave for them.  They can Quit if gets to be too much..And all others can stop buying the rag mags that publish them.  Stop watching television shows such as they are all shown on.  They benefit from you watching that.  You benefit from watching and reading those things as well.  If you stop watching those displays.  They will no longer thrive, or be needing pictures..  If that is how you really feel? 
        My guess would be however the stars would be out in force to get their faces plastered all over those things if they were to stop.  If not.  They would stop going to those functions.  They want to receive certain amount of publicity that they like.  They dont want the kind they dont care for...Its very difficult in the world to get just what you want.  All the time...ask me.

Elle-ellxactly.

I don't envy or resent any person out in the world that is fortunate enough to have more than I have (well, that isn't all the way true  ;) ) nor do I think they should be punished for having the things that they have simply because others don't. I have no doubt that actors/musicians etc.  know that if they achieve a certain level of celebrity, their privacy will go down the toilet and they make the choice to do the thing that they love to do. Heath, like many other actors, as far as I can see is just a guy who loves his craft. He is not a publicity hound like so many of his peers; he tries to live a low-key, quiet life and it seems to me he should be able to sun bathe in his back freaking yard without some asshole with a camera peering over the fence! To suggest that someone just quit what s/he loves because s/he dislikes this type of abuse is, well, you know how I feel about it.

A pleasure disagreeing with you  ;D

...and Barb, I'm so happy to see you-never mind seeing you here at HHH. You are one of my favorite Brokies in the world and any time spent in your orbit is time well spent. I read your JJJ comments-what a relief to have some perspective? I'm still waiting for some-with both those boys. I may be a Heathen but never discount my unnatural love for JakeJakeJake

      I wasnt aware that comparing issues that were the basis of the problem was considered hyperbole..  I was mainly arguing the fact that they are making much ado about little in the scheme of things. 
      No one gets a free ride though.  You always have to take the good with the bad.  Or vice versa.

Or that the entire magazine buying and TV watching public doesn't have the common decency to know when to leave people alone. Paparazzi are only part of the problem. If there weren't a thriving market for those pictures, paparazzi would be out of their jobs. But the public's interest in celebrities' private lives seems boundless.

I think it's a chicken or egg question.  What came first, really?  Did the public DEMAND more and more celebrity sleaze-oid magazines and websites, or did the vultures who publish such things realize that if they built it, we would come and so created it all themselves?  I'm voting for the latter.  And I think it's all OJ Simpson's fault.  I swear, it's just exploded to Biblical proportions since that whole fiasco.  I used to marvel at the sheer number of otherwise educated, intelligent people who had to rush home at lunch hour to watch "the OJ trial" live on TV.  I never watched a second of it.  And I don't buy those magazines.  Like oilgun, I will admit to perusing them at the gym when I'm riding the stationary bike or doing the elliptical trainer, but it's only because they're there already and they're free.  I SWEAR.  :)

Oh, and nice non-intrusive Heath photos, by the way, Leslie.  That one in the green sweater has always been my favorite.  I could look at that all day, and probably just about have...

Same -- for me, it's only at the dentist's office. The rule is that if the magazine belongs to someone else, you can peruse it freely with no guilt. It's also OK to read the covers in the grocery store, and even flip through the articles if there's a long line, as long as you don't buy it.

It's kind of like the rule that whoever orders the food gets all of its calories, so you can take as many bites as you like of someone else's dessert without worry of gaining weight.

Damn right! We are vastly superior. WE would never spend hours each day discussing movie actors and looking at pictures of movie actors and deciding which pictures of them we liked best and exchanging information about their new movie projects and, if they're single, speculating about who they're dating and, if they're in a couple, wondering whether they've gotten married or are just living together and ... and ... and, um ...  :-X

Here is a bit of Dark Knight news that mentions our man Heath...

Interview: Aaron Eckhart Talks a Bit More About The Dark Knight!   
    
Written by Robert Sanchez 


The excitement is building for The Dark Knight but it’s not just the fans. Aaron Eckhart who portrays Gotham’s District Atorney, Harvey Dent, is having fun playing with Batman.

During the press junket for No Reservations, Eckhart was continually asked about playing Harvey Dent in the upcoming sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight.

During a video interview that he conducted this past weekend, our savvy reporter was able to get him to talk a little more about the film.

Q: Playing Harvey Dent in Batman - being in the Dark Knight must be a huge thrill.

Aaron: It's fun!!

Q: Fun!! ??  Come on - spill the beans.

Aaron: That's all I can say really…it’s fun! ( laughs)

Q: Is it a childhood dream to be in a film like that?

Aaron: It's interesting. Batman has got so much energy around it. The most unlikely people in the street know everything there is to know about Harvey Dent or the Joker. It reduces adults to children, people always have a story. I haven't really been hit by it yet, I think it will really hit when I am doing press for that next year I think that is when it's going to hit me. Right now I'm just having a good time doing it. You've got Batman in the Bat suit (laughs) ...

Q: Heath Ledger...

Aaron: He's fantastic. Heath is fantastic, Christian is amazing - I worked with him as Batman  in the Bat suit with ears and (laughs) it's really transforming to see Christian as Bruce Wayne then to see him as Batman.

Q: He was awesome in that first one.

Aaaon: Yeah and Chris Nolan is a fantastic director…Wait till you see Heath. He is amazing as the joker. He is going to steal the whole movie.

But what about his character? After some funny banter, he continued  (with a wicked smile), "You'll get to see Harvey Dent, and Harvey Two- Face...if you know what I mean," and left it at that.

Another little Heath tidbit, from People Magazine:


Mary-Kate Olsen was seen rocking and rolling at West Hollywood venue the Troubadour. The actress stepped out to see Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros along with fellow music fans Heath Ledger and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea and Anthony Kiedis. Perhaps he always dreamed of being a roadie – how else to explain Ledger helping the band load its equipment? He even "made sure people were getting in okay," a fellow concertgoer tells us. The Chili Peppers, meanwhile, weren't on the VIP list – but they bought their own tickets to the show.

Heath was singled out in an article I read last night, too.  Was going through some back issues of Entertainment Weekly and there was an interview with Clooney and Pitt and they were asked who among young Hollywood they thought really had it.  Brad Pitt said that he thought Heath Ledger was really strong.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Mikaela on July 28, 2007, 07:43:33 pm
I am still really ambivalent about the whole Joker role. And I really can't imagine him getting awards for that kind of role when even none of the Lord of the Rings actors got any. Then again, Hollywood might figure they owe him... so who knows? But of course I'll watch it with an open mind - my God, it's *Heath* after all! And Maggie Gyllenhaal!! - and judge for myself.  :)

Great picture you've found Lori -  it's the best so far for seeing how he really looks in the role.


Anyway,

I came here to report that I just watched "Candy". There was a lot of trouble getting hold of the film so it's taken forever, but finally I had the DVD in my hands and immediately hunkered down and fastened the seat belts and sat through it in one go.


**Some mild spoilers for Candy**

God, that was intense!! And painful.

I knew what it was about of course, but I was fooled by the first part being titled "Heaven". Figured it'd be rather lovey-dovey at first. But nope. It was heavy addiction and OD'ing and misery from the get-go. And then nevertheless the next two parts, "Earth" and "Hell", were aptly named even so, as things just went downhill and downhill and down....

But Heath was superb in this. Fantastic acting, I believed every second. Clenched my heart seeing those eyes of his so tortured, his face so pinched, and his posture so hunched... getting so defeated... the total misery of shooting up...and the worse one of trying to quit using.

And his voice! I'd somehow forgotten how much I love his voice.

Wonderful acting by Abby Cornish, too - and they had *great* chemistry. Really believed in their love. And their pain.

I agree with everything you said. Especially about the three parts named Heaven, Earth and Hell. I had seen the scene with Candy in the bathtub in a trailer afore and was surprised to find it at the beginning of the movie. I thought 'Oh myl, if that is heaven, how will this develop?' And you're right, it goes only one way: downhill.

Of course I loved the acting by our man Heath. I really think he could just pull off everything, acting-wise. Seeing the humbug with the bank card (credit card?), I think Heath would make pretty good in a goofy/comedic role too.

Thanks for the bear interview. It's a very good one. I can hear Heath actually speaking in it. He's not one for lots of empty flattery. Or self-flattery.  :)

I was thinking exactly the same thing - about the same scene! And there was somewhere else in the film where he actually smiled big, - a genuine, happy smile (must have been the only one in the film :-\ ) and I thought: Oh, he *needs* to do a happy feel-good film where he can get to smile, a lot!! Not cheesily, not the over-the-top kind of comic smiles, not evil grins like I suppose the Joker will be all about, - but real, big, honest smiles of delight and joy. I fall in love with him when he smiles like that, and he almost never gets to do it in (recent) films. Those brown eyes of his lighting up.... Heh. Look at me. All fangirly mode.  ::) But it's true.

Hey, thanks for posting the link here.

There've been quite some debate whether 'starting tonight ... man of my word' was actually spoken by Joker or Harvey Dent, but the general opinion is it should be the Joker.  But the voice is really unrecognizable.

And guess what - the pics are gone again, only minutes later  ??? I truly give up now and log off for now.

That last picture with the tears in his eyes..........
So freakin sad. :(
Yes, you see Ennis's past, present, and future--his entire life story--written on his face in this closing moment. It's heartbreaking, and a magnificent artistic achievement by Heath.

Just to bring some balance... Happy Ennis!

So beautiful...so full of life, and with so much of life still before him. Despite his losses and loneliness, Ennis had some wonderful memories to sustain him. And one of them is being forged right here.

I have been filled with BBM nostalgia over the past couple of days.

Hi, Blacktears, welcome, and thanks for the link! I've already bookmarked that one on Maggie's (b73's) recommendation  **sniff** But I'm sure it's new to many here and so very much appreciated.  :)


OK, now you are all freely allowed to point and laugh at me,- because my computer screen reduced the pic of Heath and Maggie G. so much that only Heath/the Joker was visible.... And I didn't realize there was more/someone else to see!  ::) Until you re-posted it with caption, Laura. Wow. Serious wow. I think I love Ledger + Gyllenhaal in all versions! Though no version beats the original, of course...

And now I understand Mel's posting of the J&E picture to accompagny this one. Good one, Mel.  ;D

There've been quite some debate whether 'starting tonight ... man of my word' was actually spoken by Joker or Harvey Dent, but the general opinion is it should be the Joker.  But the voice is really unrecognizable.



That voice doesn't sound like Aaron Eckhart and it REALLY doesn't sound like Heath to me.  Michael Caine's sure is distinctive, hunh?  :)

It’s a strange-sounding voice, but I think it’s Ledger’s. Listen closely when he says “...of my word.” The deep voice...the timbre in “word”--it’s similar to Ennis’s “Once burned.”

I felt like I could detect Heath in there somewhere too---but I think what gave it away to me that it was the Joker was the maniacal chuckle!  :o

I agree, the deep voice of 'of my word' is Heath's, but the previous sentence was difficult to tell though.

Yup. I think the "...I'm a man of my word" part is clearly Heath's voice.

You're also right. I don't know the next thing about Batman, the Joker and so on. Never saw a movie, never read a comic. But even I know that the Joker is famous for his evil laugh.


BTW: is "firster" an actual word in English? It's illogical. You can't compare 'first'. But someone in the trailer says "... but you crossed the line firster." Or did I mishear that part?

Are we sure the evil voice is all the *same* voice? Aren't there more than one bad guy in this film? (I'm pretty blank on the whole Batman thing).

Because I'd say that the "I'm a man of my word" is definitely Heath, but the "Starting tonight.... " doesn't sound like him. 

And Michael Caine's voice speaking before that is so easy to recognize, isn't it?

 :) Yep, one big benefit of not being an English native speaker of any kind or nationality. Small slips like that are undetectable to people like me, so we blissfully buy what the film and Heath try to sell in the accent department.


ETA: Picked up the most recent TotalFilm Magazine. There's an interview with Maggie Gyllenhaal, and she talks about her Batman role among other matters, but for some reason the mag decides to focus on *her* and fails to ask her what she thinks about acting with Heath.  ;)

Totally weird. ;)  Keeping us in the dark about such an all-important question. :shakes head:


You know, if I was directing that Dark Knight scene we've just got a picture from now, it would go like this:

The Joker gets right up into Rachel's face, well into her personal space, grabs her shoulders and walks her backwards till she hits the wall,  knocks something or other out of her hands, and then leans in so much their noses nearly touch. He closes his eyes and draws a slow breath.  Both stay completely still for a heartbeat..... Then he cackles evilly and brandishes that nasty razor thingie up in her face.

Good thing I'm not directing, cause there is no way I wouldn't have done that scene this way :o

In my umpteenth try I managed to stop the trailer right at the split-second the card is to be seen. On the card the figure of the Joker is drawn, so it's not Heath. But the drawn figure sure has more resemblance with Heath than, lets's say, John Candy  ;).

I am glad people are praising Heath's new work, but I can't help feel ambivalent about him in this role. It's a great opportunity to flex his acting chops, hone his craft, all that sort of thing, but I just have a problem seeing him in such a grotesque role. I almost fear it might retroactively tarnish some of Ennis's glamor (which I don't think could actually happen).

AM pleased to know that Heath worked with another Gyllenhaal! One wonders about the conversations Heath and Maggie enjoyed together.

2003 TV interview with Heath

The video is good - discusses his views of the Iraq war, Bush, and the Australian Prime Minister (whose name I can't recall but whom Heath refers to as a dick).

The written transcript is a good bit longer.  He talks about when he choreographed 80 farmer's sons when he was in school and they won the contest.

It was a photo manip that someone did, purporting that it was Heath's make up test for the Joker. It's fake but it gave the guy his 15 minutes of fame. Janice, they used Orlando's body because there was a picture of him holding the rubik's cube thingy. There have been other imaginings of what Heath might look like in the role. This is before we had the real thing, of course.

From ComicBookMovie.com

Michael Caine on Heath Ledger

We’ve seen the behind the scene clips, the trailer, and interviews with Christian Bale. Now we get to hear what Alfred Pennyworth has to say.

Portrayed by the inimitable Michael Caine, backing up on what has to be some daunting shoes left by Michael Gough, Alfred Pennyworth has served a long stint as Bruce Wayne’s guardian-come-butler. On his own blog, Caine has shed some light on the filming of the new Batman movie to be released in July of 08, in particular, his opinion of the man behind the Joker.

“I have just got back from my second trip to Chicago where I am shooting “Batman”, my jet lag has gone so I feel like updating this site.

I have one more stint in Chicago in a month time, then I will be finished on the 2nd “Batman” the great revelation of working on this is Heath Ledger who plays the “The Joker”. I have seen him on film and I have worked with him and I must say it is quite an extraordinary performance.”

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but if somebody could help out a poor girl who has never been into the whole Batman thing: What is the deal with the Joker's looks? I mean, those scars on both sides of his face that stretch his mouth into the charicature of a huge grin. Has he done that to himself, or has someone done it to him? Or did he have some weird accident?

I need to be up on all this stuff before I eventually see the film. And I'd rather not watch the previous franchise's Jack Nicholson Joker to find out all about it. I'd rather not be comparing, but come to this version with an entirely open mind.

It is not known yet what has caused the scarring.  Unless there will be a leak of the script, I think we can only find the answer in the movie, if Nolan chose to explain it.

Oh - so that is specific to this version/Heath's Joker? Interesting. I can't imagine it won't get explained in the film somehow. I'll be all patient and wait then. Thanks for explaining.  :)

BTW, some days ago I followed some Batman fans discussion link related to that HL/Maggie G. movie still that has been released, and lots of people were going on about the horror of casting Heath as the Joker. There are so many negative people! I couldn't quite take any of it seriously, honestly - rather I couldn't help snickering at the pathetic inanities. "He can't act!" Yeah right. Ennis acts himself.  ::) "He's only got one facial expression!" Sure. One expression a nano-second, that is.
Anyway, I'm now looking all that much more forward to Heath bowling all such sorry nay-sayers over, as I'm absolutely sure he will.  :)
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: MaineWriter on August 07, 2007, 11:54:28 am
The Joker is Batman's no. 1 arch-enemy and appeared in the very first Batman comic book in 1940. Here's a little history on the comic book Joker (from Wikipedia).

Detective Comics #168 (February 1951) revealed that the Joker had once been a criminal known as the Red Hood. In the story, the Red Hood falls into a vat of chemicals while escaping from Batman. He emerges with white skin, green hair, and a bizarre grin.

Though many have been related, a definitive history of the Joker before the chemical bath has never been established in the comics, and his real name has never been confirmed. The most widely cited backstory can be seen in The Killing Joke. It depicts him as originally being an engineer at a chemical plant who quits his job to become a stand-up comedian, only to fail miserably. Desperate to support his pregnant wife, the man agrees to help two criminals break into the plant where he was formerly employed. In this version of the story, the Red Hood persona is given to the inside man of every job (thus it is never the same man twice); this makes the man appear to be the ringleader, allowing the two criminals to escape. During the planning, police contact him and inform him that his wife has died in a household accident.

Stricken with grief, he attempts to back out of the plan, but the criminals strong-arm him into keeping his promise. As soon as they enter the plant, however, they are immediately caught by security and a shoot-out ensues, in which the two criminals are killed. As the engineer tries to escape, he is confronted by Batman, who is investigating the disturbance. Terrified, the engineer leaps over a rail and plummets into a vat of chemicals. When he surfaces in the nearby reservoir, he removes the hood and sees his reflection: bleached chalk-white skin, ruby-red lips, and green hair. These events, coupled with his other misfortunes that day, drive the engineer completely insane, resulting in the birth of the Joker.

The story "Pushback" (Batman: Gotham Knights # 50-55), supports part of this version of the Joker's origin story. In it, a witness (who coincidentally turns out to be Edward Nigma, a.k.a. The Riddler) recounts that the Joker's wife was kidnapped and murdered by the criminals in order to force the engineer into performing the crime. In this version, the pre-accident Joker is called Jack.

No recounting of the Joker's origin has been definitive, however, as he has been portrayed as lying so often about his former life that he himself is confused as to what actually happened. As he says in The Killing Joke: "Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... if I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" In Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth written by Grant Morrison, it is said that the Joker's insanity runs so deeply, that he recreates himself every day. He could have a different personality with different quirks and mannerisms whenever he sees fit.

A 2007 story arc in Batman Confidential, written by Michael Green, shows a pre-transformation Joker giving his first name as "Jack". This story shows Jack as a career criminal, specializing in the circumvention of advanced security systems as well as having a skill in murdering that Batman describes as "gifted".


Apparently, "The Dark Knight" is also going to have something about the Joker's backstory and history.

Who is that strange looking man in those pictures? He's looking straight into the camera in the bottom right picture. Maybe it's just the lighting, but he looks very strange... and scary too! Who is he? That's not Heath, is it?

Sorry, but I'm not at all familiar with this movie, and I have no idea who these people are in those pictures.  ???

Who is that strange looking man in those pictures? He's looking straight into the camera in the bottom right picture. Maybe it's just the lighting, but he looks very strange... and scary too! Who is he? That's not Heath, is it?

Sorry, but I'm not at all familiar with this movie, and I have no idea who these people are in those pictures.  ???

Bottom right picture, the man looking forward, second from the right, is Heath, in full Joker make up.

If you peruse this thread, David, we've posted a bunch of Dark Knight articles...that will get you up to full Batman/Joker speed!

Leslie, thanks for the wikipedia info. It'll be interesting to see exactly what spin the Dark Knight puts on the Joker's backstory. Can't imagine they won't mix in the poignancy and tragedy of some of those possible storylines with the current craziness. (Also rather like that his original name may have been Jack. Good name.  ;D )

And Dot, thanks for the images. That sure is some scary makeup, very darkish. He looks like death - his face a skull; where Nicholson looked more like a crazed clown (in my opinion based on some images I've seen).

I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I'm actually getting quite exited about the whole Batman thing.  :D


Great I'm not there picture too!  :)

Yes, that's the exact same picture Melissa sent to me in an email.

I don't know, but for some reason he looked very different in those smaller pictures. He's very spooky looking and definately NOT the Heath I have come to know and love. If I saw that joker person in a back alley, I'd run out of there like my pants were on fire.

I guess that’s what Heath is, a true chameleon.  Sometimes I do feel it’s quite trying to be a Heath fan, I don’t even think we’ll be able to find any glimpse of Heath in Joker at all with all those heavy makeup.

Then I think Heath has succeeded in his mission. I am a big Batman fan (well at least of the first two with Michael Keaton and then the new one with Christian Bale) and I sure hope this Batman movie is gonna be dark and sinister and a little bit sadistic! As far as I can see from the pics, it is gonna be all three!

This is exciting to read:

If Paul Brichard (who was a day player on the production in the East End of London) is to be believed, we've got nothing to worry about. I'll let it come straight from the guy's mouth, which was posted over at James Israel's indieWIRE blog:

As regards to how Heath Ledger *seemed* as the Joker, he seemed like he WAS the Joker, and didn't need to let anyone know it - rather contained, but ready to explode at any moment in an unexpected fashion. Menacing, but more because he seemed like he was probably crazy, and maybe violent, rather than that he was TRYING to scare you. (and by the way, all he did during the scenes I was in was sit in his holding cell, reacting and listening...so, he's a very fine actor if I imbibed all this from just watching him sit there...) He didn't talk a lot between takes, but he also wasn't "Don't approach me!" in his manner - a real pro, in other words.
In short, he seemed just like the Joker SHOULD seem.

Now if only we didn't have to wait a whole year to see for ourselves ... Fie patience!

Biopic Needs Six Actors To Play Dylan

by Andrew Tijs - August 10 2007

New Dylan biopic 'I'm Not There' promises six actors as His Bobness, including a woman.

Rolling Stone have reported of a special screening of the new Todd Haynes film. They divulge that the folk renegade will be played by six actors through various stages in his career. They include relative unknown Marcus Carl Franklin, English actor Ben Whishaw, as well as Hollywood royalty Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Richard Gere and, inexplicably, Cate Blanchett.

The cast also includes comedian David Cross as beat poet Allan Ginsberg, as well as Julianne Moore, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Ledger's beau Michelle Williams.

The film will feature Dylan's recordings, as well as a series of covers including versions of 'Maggie's Farm' and 'Ballad Of A Thin Man' by ex-Pavement singer Steve Malkmus from a session produced by Sonic Youth's Lee Renaldo. Jim James from My Morning Jacket has also contributed music.

'I'm Not There' is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival in early September, and will appear at the Toronto Film Festival soon after. It will be released in the US in late November.

Space has also got a 1997 series starring a young Heath Ledger marked for a Sept. 15 premiere. Roar, in which Ledger's character leads a small band of Celts against the Roman Empire, lasted only one season. The show premieres in Space's Saturday 8 pm ET/5 pm PT time slot.

"They divulge"?!  Was this written a year ago?  I think the premise of the film has been 'divulged' for quite some time now.   Where has this guy been?

Also, since when has Michelle Williams become a beau?! Is the writer not aware that Michelle is actually a woman?

I don't even know Chicago (where I nominally live) well enough to tell one way or the other, let alone L.A. There was one image in that group with the zany shirt and shades that showed street signs, highway signs and license plates, but I couldn't blow them up enough to decipher them.

From the Chicago Tribune

A SNEAK PEEK

Wizard World lights up for 'Dark Knight'
By Robert K. Elder
Tribune staff reporter

August 13 2007

Heath Ledger as The Joker in "The Dark Knight," the upcoming Batman movie.

The Joker was serious business over the weekend at Wizard World Chicago, the pop culture and comic book convention that invades Rosemont each summer.

Warner Bros. chose the convention to show the first live footage of Heath Ledger as the Joker and shed a little light on "The Dark Knight," the sequel to "Batman Begins," currently filming in Chicago.

Bags were searched and cell phones checked at the door for a special "secret" panel -- ultimately, the worst-kept secret at the convention, as nearly 1,200 people wearing shirts that read "The Dark Knight, July 2008" packed into a sweltering room Saturday with stars Christian Bale (Batman), Gary Oldman (Commissioner Gordon) and Aaron Eckhart (Harvey Dent/Two-Face).

Though Ledger was conspicuously absent from the panel, screenwriters David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan also joined director Christopher Nolan in a Q&A session.

The director, who spent summers as a child in Chicago with his brother and collaborator, Jonathan, said the three-week location shoot for "Batman Begins" wasn't nearly enough time. "I always wanted to make movies here," he said, then gushed about the city's "spirit" and architecture. Nolan caught a little of both in a raucous, two-minute "Dark Knight" montage. In one opening shot, Batman stands like a gargoyle atop a sweeping cityscape (Chicago, doubling for Gotham City). But the true star was Ledger as the Joker, in smeared white makeup and greasy hair, fighting Batman in a bright, tiled room. In other shots, the Clown Prince of Crime sits menacingly in a prison cell, glaring like Hannibal Lector. Later on, someone takes an ax to the Bat Signal and a fire engine burns on a Chicago street. The footage ends with a first glimpse of Eckhart as Two-Face -- or at least the scarred back of his neck.

When asked about Ledger's less flamboyant, grittier vision of the Joker, Nolan remained cryptic. The Joker was previously played by Cesar Romero on TV and in film by Jack Nicholson in 1989's "Batman."

Reaction during the Q&A and montage was nearly universally euphoric, however. Applause rained down after every answer, as if it were a State of the Union address.

Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: MaineWriter on August 13, 2007, 12:20:15 pm
And Elle, here's a report from someone who was actually there! I dug this up on aintitcool.com


Hey, I've just come from Wizard World Chicago, one of the biggest comic cons in America, something I try and go to every year, but this year was by far the best con experience I've ever had.

Yesterday at a DC comics panel, Editor Dan Didio stepped aside at the end for a special presentation, and Bob Wayne ( I know he has something to do with sales, I don't remember his official title) got up to address some rumors. There was a secret panel the next day, and for the first people to attend the con and get wrist bands, there would be something about a movie, "They may or may not be working on, and they may or may not be filming currently in the city." This went up to crazy cheers.

I got back to the con this morning at 7:00 AM which is two hours before they let weekend pass owners enter, without a weekend pass you don't get in until ten. Longest two hours of my life, and when they let us in, we all lined up inside the main show room. It took us another hour before we were given wrist bands, and a batman t-shirt, with the date of the con, and the bat symbol on the front, with THE DARK KNIGHT IN THEATERS JULY 2008.

At about 3:00 pm, I got BACK in line and waited until six. We had been warned the day before when the panel was announced, that there would be no cameras, cell phones, ipods, or anything else that could be used as a recording device.

Paul Levitz president and publisher of DC comics took the stage to thunderous applause, and introduced David Goyer, Jona Nolan, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, and Christian Bale, and then Chris Nolan himself! Oldman through Nolan all got standing ovations.

They did Q&A for about 45 mins, which was incredible, but having just left, I haven't let my mind sort it all out yet. Then, they showed the footage. Chris Nolan seemed really nervous about showing footage. He said it was rough and incomplete and uthat he had a hard time showing anyone unfinished product.

Honest to God, I don't know what he was worried about. Any apprehension I had about the Joker's apperance disappeared. He doesn't look like the classic Joker in any way shape or form, and from what I can tell he has visable makeup lines, so I am guessing whatever causes his "Transformation" in this one will be nothing like any other telling of the joker.

It was short, and didn't give away to much, so I'll try and just bring up the highlights.

-- The Joker looks terrifying. There is footage of him in interrogation with a voice over from Gordon, they can't find whatever it is they are looking for on him, "All he had in his pockets was lint, and a knife."

--There are explosions, shots of the batmobile, and what looks like a tube holding the bat costume rising from the floor.

-- There is a shot of the Joker walking down and apparently enflamed city street, laughing and firing what looked like a tommy gun, but really could have been another automatic rifle.

-- Bruce Wayne meets Harvey Dent for the first time,
Dent: "The famous Bruce Wayne, Rachel has told me all about you!"
Wayne: "I hope not."

A lot of quick cuts, the batmobile exploding through a wall of flame, the joker holding Maggie Gyllenhal at knife point, and Batman kicking through the door in the interrogation room from the beginning of the clip, he lifts the Joker over his head and slams him on the table... HARD.

AND THEN...

A coin flips onto a counter next to a glass on a bar, the bartender starts to pour the shot before looking up, his response, "Jesus, Harvey, I thought you were dead!"
A hand picks up the shot, and it is slammed off screen before Aaron Eckhart's voice answers, "Half."

That was it, the crowd went nuts, before con volunteers started running up and down the isles of the pannel with blacklights, and the shirts had in I guess blacklight reactive ink HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA printed all over them. I was in one line or another for about 11 hours today, and it was completely worth it. The trailer and footage were incredibly badass, and I am now looking forward to this movie even more than I was.

I'm listening to it now, thanks!  Lots and lots about how great Heath is.

I looked for clips on YouTube, but nothing yet.  It sounds like by NOT having Heath there with the other principals at the convention, that that builds the suspense even more.

Thank you Leslie! That was fun, watching and listening to the utter enthusiasm of these die-hard fans. Sure brings back memories. Though I can't pretend to be into the whole Batman thing, except for cheering Heath on of course, I've been way up bubbling enthusiasm fandom creek with a couple of other films. BBM one of them. So I know the feeling, and recognize it when I see it!

Great to hear all the positive comments these people had about the Joker.  :)


Oh, and my film mag of choice, TotalFilm, lists "The 10 coolest films being made right now!" in their most recent issue. With Dark Knight at the top of the list. And further praise for Heath in there as well.  It's all good, so far.   :D

Thanks, Leslie, for all the great feedback from Chicago.  I can't wait to see Heath transform himself for this role.  It's exciting to see his career taking off post-Brokeback.  That's our guy!  8)

After the word img in front of a pic, you just insert width=XXX, with the Xs being a specific number.

The first pic in this example has width=100, the second one =200 and the third one=300.

The image code then looks like this (without the spaces):

[ img width=100]http://www.adressofthepicture.jpg[/img ]


I think this is a good feature if you want to comment on a specific pic, but don't want to quote it in a huge size for the umpteenth time.


Thank you notBastet!  :-*

More Dark Knight news!

 Sen. Patrick Leahy Lands Dark Knight Role
Source: Advanced Dark
August 14, 2007


CNN reports that Sen. Patrick Leahy has landed his third Batman-related role:

Vermont's senior senator has landed a speaking role in the newest Batman movie, CNN affiliate WPTZ reports and confirmed by Leahy's office.

Leahy is apparently a big comic book enthusiast, and actually served as an extra in the 1997 Batman installment: Batman and Robin.

The senator told the station he can't reveal the exact details of his role in the upcoming movie, but he did say he has landed a scene with its two stars, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger.

He also provided a voice for an episode of "Batman: The Animated Series" playing himself.

That's our man Heath! A hero!

Actor HEATH LEDGER turned hero on the set of BATMAN BEGINS sequel THE DARK KNIGHT recently, when he saved his co-star MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL after her skirt caught fire. Ledger, who plays villain The Joker in the follow-up movie, dashed to Gyllenhaal's aid when a special effects generator fell over, sending flames onto her skirt. Thanks to Ledger's quick reactions, Gyllenhaal was unharmed in the incident, reports American tabloid the National Enquirer.

I thought of saying something silly about whose skirt wouldn't burst into flames near Heath Ledger, but that would be too silly.  ::)   

Instead I'll just say that he saved his daughter's godfather's sister. 

And that this is the second fire incident for Maggie that we know of in recent months (the lodge fire).

Hmmm.... a question: If that picture (you know the one I mean) is from a sort of promo-trailer, does that mean it's actually Heath in character as the Joker? Because I sure don't think that smile is a wicked grin. I don't think it looks evil or twisted or maniacal or any of those things that the Joker is supposed to be all about. It looks sweet, and happy.

How about a Heath game?  One of us posts a pic of Heath (from a non-BBM movie, or RL, anywhere but BBM).  Then those who want to play find a pic of Ennis to post beside it.  Not sure how this will go, but we can try. 

One tip, I usually get my BBM photos from Striped Wall http://stripedwall.com/gallery.php?page=movies/Brokeback.  You can't link to their images directly, you need to upload them to your Divshare or Photobucket account first, before you can post them here.  I think most of us are getting good at that, PM me if you need help.  Also, feel free to suggest adjustments to the game.

First one, from Lords of Dogtown:

Another little Dark Knight tidbit:

Senator answers bat-signal for movie

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Holy Beltway, Batman! Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., has a part in the next Batman movie, “The Dark Knight.”

“I don’t wear tights,” Leahy said.

The longtime Batman fan would reveal little about his role other than that he is called the “distinguished gentleman.”

The scene was filmed this summer from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. and involves Batman, played by Christian Bale, The Joker, played by Heath Ledger, and Alfred Pennyworth, played by Michael Caine.

Leahy’s earnings will be donated to the Kellogg-Hubbard children’s library in Montpelier, where the senator got his first library card.

“The Dark Knight” is scheduled to be released next summer.

Dylan Movie to Open Like a Rolling Premiere

By JOHN ANDERSON
Published: August 21, 2007

Imagine you’re a film distributor, handling an experimental movie by one of the country’s most iconoclastic directors. The subject is an enigmatic occasional recluse who is being portrayed by four actors, an actress and a 13-year-old boy. Where do you open that film?

If you’re very lucky, you get to book it at Film Forum, perhaps the most exclusive art-house cinema in Manhattan.

Now what do you do with a movie that stars Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger; whose subject is Bob Dylan; and whose director is the Oscar-nominated Todd Haynes?

Same answer. Same film. Which is what’s making the planned Nov. 21 release of “I’m Not There,” Mr. Haynes’s rumination on Mr. Dylan’s lives and times, something of a curiosity.

In addition to Film Forum, the film’s distributor, the Weinstein Company, will be opening the movie in just three other theaters, one more in New York and two in Los Angeles, giving it the kind of debut that might be afforded a Mexican documentary.

I found a Heath Fan Girl project to do!  :)   Here's where I found Heath in the I'm Not There trailer.  I grabbed these images with the time code showing, so you can find 'em too!  Do you agree these are Heath?  Are there other Heath places I missed?

The six actors playing Bob Dylan.

I don't believe it. It doesn't look like his jaw. Of course,  I have been proven wrong in the past!

For anyone who doesn't know, there is an "I'm Not There" thread over in Current Events (or maybe the Culture Tent) which has a bunch of articles about the movie.

From Leslie:

I can see Leslie's point. But it's Heath' forehead and brows line.
Besides, who else should it be? It's the six actors who play Bob Dylan. Wouldn't make any sense to take another person for this portrait.


Regarding Cate Blanchett:
I've read praise for her, she's said to be great in her role. But in every pic I see, I think she looks like a squinting Cate Blanchett with a mop on her head - not like Bob Dylan.

To be fair: the other five aren't exactly doppelgänger of Dylan, too. And as it should be, the praise is about her acting, not her looks. Guess I'll have to see for myself.

Have you seen this clip of her in the movie?  I don't know how Dylan-y she is, but she sure can do youthful male physical enthusiasm.  It's fun to watch.

In the third shot he reminds me so much of Ennis (post divorce scene). The expression on his face, the clenched mouth and the little thing he does with his shoulders. The scene is similar, too. He stands in a parking lot and watches someone driving away in a car.

Aug 16 Hey, so my friend and I were enjoying the tasty delights of Loteria! (I can't figure out how to make my keyboard do the upside-down exclamation point) in the Farmer's Market and who should ALSO decide to partake but Heath Ledger, soon to be AKA The Joker, along with some pals and dragging a sleeping infant which assumedly was his. Dude was approximately 7 feet tall and in regulation gear (torn jeans, cool-guy shirt, bed-head), looking Lurch-like yet handsome. After lunch he proceeded to spend an inordinate amount of time in the sticker store next door.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: serious crayons on August 24, 2007, 11:33:30 am
Cool! I never expected to see "Lurch-like" and "handsome" in the same sentence, but it fits!

After reading the whole page, I was curious about Paul Rudd's wife but could not find her under "Paul Rudd's wife," "wife of Paul Rudd" or "married to Paul Rudd" (only stuff about Leslie Mann, who played PR's wife in Knocked Up). Oh, plus a list of tombstones in Little River Cemetery in Mendocino County, CA, which includes one for Emma Rudd, 00/00/1878 to 11/28/1918, Wife of Paul Rudd. But I'm guessing that's a different Paul Rudd.

And I wasn't too happy to read this, about Linda Hamilton: "over thin and over blonde, but didn't look too bad for being 50."

When will people stop saying someone looks good or bad FOR (insert age here)? Never, I suppose. But I recently read an essay by Patti Davis complaining about that phenomenon, with a story about dumping a guy who kept telling her she looked really good, for her age. Go, Patti! She looks pretty good, period.

OK, I'm digressing. Back to Heath ...

According to this site Paul Rudd's wife is Julie Yaeger, and work as film publicist at Miramax.

Thanks, Natali. She's cute and looks nice. Gawker made it sound like ... I don't know, like maybe she could eat popcorn out of the neck of a bottle or sumpn'.

Re Heath and Dylan: No resemblance. Dylan in that era was beautiful, but not at all Heathlike.

Even the glasses don't match. Let's hope the acting makes up for it in some way.

Maybe Heath and all of you will come to my next exhibition of my paintings I create?? Welcome, bienvenue!! You know me already here as Artiste!!

L'AngdonArt, L'AngdonArt!! www.franco.ca/langdonart1

Come to the next exhibition September 11th till September 24th 2007 at the La Galerie Le 1040! (See english below French one please!!)

INVITATION EXPOSITION: Réflexions doubles Peintures L'AngdonArt
Artiste L’AngdonArt revient à La Galerie Le 1040, au 1040, rue Marie-Anne Est, Montréal du 11 au 24 septembre 2007


La galerie d’art pour la 3e année consécutive, La Galerie Le 1040, accueille en ses murs du 11 au 24 septembre 2007, des peintures récentes créées par Artiste L’AngdonArt. Réflexions doubles, exposition qu’il présente au public de Québec, permet l’exploration des multiples facettes du concept de réflexions par ses peintures dynamiques. Par exception que pour cette expostion, la galerie est accessible à chaque jour du 11 septembre de 10 à 22 heures jusqu'à lundi le 24 octobre de 10 à 14 heures.

Les peintures réflexions à la L'AngdonArt, sont comme un casse-tête ou une intrigue à déchiffrer,  traitant de la condition de la Terre et de la condition Humaine. Les réflexions que détaille chaque œuvre de l’artiste soulignent donc des reflets ou deux paysages différents par chaque peinture, approche propre à Artiste L'AngdonArt. Mais c'est plus que ceci!!
†
D'habitude, même si il y a une réflexion tempêtueuse, L'AngdonArt accentue aussi une réflexion paisible. Créant des peintures spectaculaires, parfois des paysages panoramiques, L'AngdonArt développe son propre style comme un jeu. Non seulement artistique, mais aussi social (comme L'Occident et L'Orient), intellectuel, terrestre, culturel. Par des images de vraisemblance de la nature et des planètes, L'AngdonArt propose des jeux humains rendus visibles par son imaginaire exprimé sur ses toiles.
†
Artiste L’AngdonArt sera présent à la galerie pour toute la durée de l’exposition, au 1040, rue Marie-Anne-Est (monter la rue Saint-Denis, tourner droite sur Mont-Royal, jusqu'au sens unique Christophe-Colomb et descendre une rue jusqu'au coin Marie-Anne Est). Il vous invite à venir explorer en sa compagnie les récentes compositions artistiques de son nouveau concept pour vous le dévoiler.
Venez découvrir les réflexions L'AngdonArt et deux fois!! S.V.P., tu mentionnes que tu es sur Bettermost lors ta visite à la galerie!! Baisers, baiser!!

........................

You are welcome to see daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. the recent 2007 L'AngdonArt paintings from September 11th to the September 24th till 3 p.m., at La Galerie Le 1040, at 1040 Marie-Anne Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; go up on the Saint-Denis Street, turn right on Mont-Royal Street, till the one way Christophe-Colomb Street turning right till next corner where is the beautiful art gallery at the Marie-Anne Est Street! As L'AngdonArt presents two different landscapes in each painting!! To discover, yes to discover twice or more!! So come?? !! Hugs! Hugs!! Please mention that you are on Bettermost when you visit me at the gallery!!

I have no idea what they are from or when they were taken, but I found them on heathledger.net.  Unfortunately, I don't remember under what section.

I am wondering if it is from "I'm Not There." His hair looks like it did in another picture I saw from the movie, and the cigarettes and drink would also seem to be in keeping with what I have heard about his "era" in the film. But this is purely speculation on my part!

I found it at a fanfic story site, posted by an (alleged) author who is a known Heathen. Where s/he got it from, I have no clue.

Good observation on the blotted out patch...once you mentioned it, it is very obvious!

I know LA... since I had my studio there for years!!! Created my paintings even outside near there, or there! And my art association was there too on Wilshire Street, as was the art gallery, as I was a member for many years!
And been at those two streets many times, because of my many exhibitions in the past, international and national ones in Los Angeles!

Come to my next art exhibition of my paintings I create at La Galerie Le 1040, at 1040 Marie-Anne Est Street, Montreal, from September 11th to September 24th inclusively, 2007? Bienvenue, yes welcome!

Yes - nice catch on the patch over his shoulder!  I have to admit, I wasn't really looking at his shoulder.  I thought he looked youngish in the pic when I was looking at it yesterday, but today, he looks his 'regular' (i.e. current) age.

Hard for me to tell Leslie.

His 'bangs' look higher in the guitar picture but the alcohol and cigarettes (or other) seem to fit.  I think the biggest clue is the splotch over his shoulder.

I'm guessing that that's in Venice for the Venice Film Festival, for The Brothers Grimm.  Looks like they are getting out of a water taxi on a canal.  And Heath is wearing a shirt he wore in Venice, and has that haircut.

That's funny! I love Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, but to me he's cast against type. I usually think of him as sort of a shambling, good-natured, reasonably intelligent but approachable, regular-guy type. Like the characters he played in "Brothers Grimm," "Gerry," "Oceans 11, 12 and 13," "Dogma," etc.

Nah, it's old.

2003 maybe, whenever he and Naomi were dating.  I think it's maybe from when they were visiting Australia... not sure exactly.  (I obviously don't save much info along with the pics!)

I wanted to try to crop her out of the picture but I couldn't figure out how to do it very well on my software.  Somehow it ended up messing up his clarity.

For whatever reason, I could just stare at his expression in that pic for forever........

Jake's hair is frequently to bouffy for a hat, lol!

Same here! The only thing that always bothered me about their relationship was that they still weren't married, even though they had been engaged even before Matilda was born. I wondered about that but I never expected them to split up, not that I had anything to go by to know that they were happy either. Guess I was just assuming they were. You never do know, right?

Oh no. That would be bad news, if it's true. Hope it's not. I think they're so cute together.
Just a few months ago all rumours were about them secretly having married (not that one possibility excludes the other).
We'll wait and see. Like Leslie and Mel, I don't want it to be true.

Those were rumors too I think. I want them to be together forever, just for the sake of Brokeback Mountain and them having met on the set! LOL! But seriously, I was hoping they would make it. I am starting to think nobody can make it. But it might not be true at all!

I just wanted to post a little tribute picture.

I am sad, like anyone else. 

Of course I am a Heath fan (duh!); all I know about Michelle is only from things he has said... but mostly, you just want the people you like to be happy.  And going through a break-up is never a happy thing, no matter how "right" it is.

I had worried that maybe things weren't all that great because we haven't really seen any happy pictures of them together lately, but I had hoped that was just because they didn't want to be photographed. 

In the end, together or apart, I just wish them happiness in their lives.

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams split
September 03, 2007 12:00am
Article from: The Daily Telegraph

THE Hollywood love affair between Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams may have taken its final bow, with US reports suggesting the pair have ended their short marriage.

Although rumours of the couple's rocky relationship and increasing distance have persisted for several months, popular American publication US Weekly yesterday "confirmed" the split.

The magazine quotes a source close to the couple as saying, "Heath and Michelle quietly and amicably split a few weeks ago.

"They tried very hard to make it work but finally decided to separate.

"They have a beautiful daughter and are committed to being great parents."

Ledger's and Williams' reps declined to comment but the notoriously private pair are said to be ending their marriage because of work commitments.

The couple met on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2004, with the love affair spilling off the big screen and into real life.

In 2005, Williams gave birth to their daughter Matilda Rose and the couple are believed to have married secretly earlier this year.

But as their profiles soared, the film duo's hectic schedules on international locations has reportedly put intense pressure on their relationship.

Williams has spent the past few months based in London shooting the dramatic feature Incendiary with Ewan McGregor, while Ledger has been working out of Chicago filming the latest Batman instalment, The Dark Knight.

Ledger's Perth-based family were unavailable for comment but are believed to be supporting the star.

The Ledger clan were recently spotted taking Matilda on an outing to Disneyland, with witnesses noting Williams' absence.

Is anybody reallly surprised that they have separated???

It is sad, as it is, whenever a relationship breaks down, particularly when a child is involved.....but I am not surprised, and I think most people would be feeling the same way.

They didnt seem like a compatible couple from the start, i think the baby was what made them have a relationship in the first place....and....I think the baby was consumated at a time when Heath was trying to show himself and the world, that he was only "play acting" in Brokeback.

I know I sound cynical, and I dont mean to, but that is what I have thought from the beginning and I dont think I am alone with those thoughts.....

Lets hope they both can find someone who will be their life long partner, and that little Matilda grows up a happy little girl.

Surprised?  No.

In all honesty, little in this world surprises me.

I say this all the time at my job, and I think it applies here: there is always hope, and there are never any guarantees.

Heath and Michelle's relationship is between the two of them, I have only my impressions from the media; they certainly would not have been, nor will they likely be the last, couple to make a go of it for a baby.

I have never heard nor seen anything to make me believe/suspect Heath felt he needed to 'prove' his sexuality to the world.

Michelle and Matilda. This picture was on today's edition of People online. Little Matilda is definitely a female version of Heath. I'm surprised Michelle is actually smiling at the paps, though she could've been smiling at Matilda and the pap just caught her but it's nice to see her smile for a change. I have to say, however, she could improve that hair. It does not do her any justice.

I wasn't surprised by it, and I have never really thought that Heath and Michelle's relationship really had anything to do with the theme of Brokeback.  I think it had more to do with the dynamics of playing a couple on the big screen.  It is a show business cliche that onscreen couples tend to become offscreen couples, but it also has a heavy weight of truth - the intimate chemistry that has to be established to portray the dynamic - and Michelle was very much Heath's "type" based upon his previous steadies.  And naturally, part of that cliche is that the dynamic does fade.  However, I am sure Heath winces at the interview he gave where he talked about wanting five kids.  I hope he isnt planning on five different mothers for them!

Well, that explains it, then. After all, Heath and Michelle didn't show much romantic chemistry onscreen. He just wound up with the wrong partner ...

I agree, Janice, but I know some people here seem genuinely saddened, and I don't want to offend anyone.

Here's a confession: for all my many contributions to this thread over the years, I still see Heath and Michelle pretty much as movie stars. Which is not to say their troubles don't matter objectively. I'm not making some kind of comment like, "Well, they're rich and famous, so I'm sure they'll be fine."

No, what I'm saying is that they basically are strangers to me. So their breakup is sad in the general sense that any breakup is sad, particularly that of a couple who recently seemed in love and who have a young child. But I reserve most of my genuine emotions for the troubles experienced by friends, family and myself. Occasionally, I do feel truly sad for a stranger, but it's usually a situation involving an unjust or tragic death. There are so many of those, I don't have much sadness left over for celebrity breakups ... So although I can describe this news as sad, I'll have to say I don't feel any personal strong emotion about it.

I was really sad to hear the news-for some reason it really depressed me. I'm already holding on to my BbM life by a thread and this news felt like the breaking point. Then I had some ice cream and everything was better. No, really.

All that being said, I had doubts about their ability to sustain their relationship but hoped, hoped, hoped they would make. Knowing very little about either one of them, they seemed like a good match. Michelle doesn't really much hit my radar but I liked her for my boy none the less. I'm sorry for them, sorry for the baby and wish them all as much peace as they can squeeze out this situation.

And "Hollywood" really does suck

I notice the new shoes.  He had the sun glasses in L.A., right?  And, I like the tight fit of the jacket across his chest.  I like the vest and the tie?  Have I ever seen him in a tie before?  Also, is it hot in Italy right now?

I had some more thoughts on this. There is something that does make me feel sympathetic toward them. I realize how hard it is to tell even your friends and family and acquaintances that you are splitting up.

Imagine if you had to announce it in a press release, and be constantly questioned about it by reporters and strangers on the street, and have people speculate -- perhaps even to your face -- on whether it was a mistake to get together so quickly, to have a baby so soon, whether maybe Heath did it so people wouldn't think he was gay (as if it wouldn't have been easier to just not take the role in the first place, if that was a big fear of his, rather than have to marry someone and have a baby to cover his tracks!  ::)) ...


Anyway, I really do sympathize with them about this part.  :-\

I'd say that announcing the break up right before the film festival season starts for "I'm Not There" seems like a bad bit of timing.  But maybe they felt like it would be easier if they just came out with it, than to be asked again and again.

The jacket and the red sunglasses. Do you think he really sincerely believes they look good? Or did he get so sick of people ogling him that he tried to find ways to look goofy?

The jacket looks like something someone would wear if they showed up without a jacket at a place where a jacket was required and were handed a three-sizes-too-small jacket by the maître d'.

Celebrity break-up news also help promote movies. For example, journalist would write: [Insert celebrity name], who was seen recently promoting his/her new movie [insert movie title] split with his/her longtime partner, actress/actor [insert name], who stars in [insert movie tiltle]. The pair met while filming [insert movie title]...

So, it is not surprising they leaked the story just now that Heath is promoting I'm Not There. Sad, but true.

Well, except that I'm guessing you don't go to as many events where famous people get all dressed up, often by professional stylists, to walk up a red carpet, and where you're photographed over and over and your pictures get seen by people all over the world.

Plus, people who don't care about clothes usually go out wearing just any old thing (T-shirt and jeans, for example).  If Heath were wearing a T-shirt and jeans, that would be different -- in fact, in some of my favorite photos of him, like those Toronto pix, he was wearing a plain old T-shirt. But usually he isn't just underdressed. Rather than showing no effort at all, it's more like he's going out of his way to look dorky (Smurf hat, red-rimmed sunglasses, too-small jacket or pants ...).

LOL! Don't be afraid, those glasses look awful!  They remind me of the ones we wore in the eighties which was not a great decade for fashion.  I read somewhere that much of his clothing is designed by a friend of his, which may explain the bizarre jacket?

News from Venice:

Heath Ledger, who recently split with longtime girlfriend Michelle Williams, was looking somber at the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday.

At a September 4 news conference promoting his new film I’m Not There, an eyewitness tells Usmagazine.com that the actor was very quiet while fielding questions from reporters.

"He kept his head down a lot and I think he was hoping not to be asked too much," says the onlooker. "He had his hat tipped a little low and didn't really make eye contact with anyone. You could tell that he didn't want to be there.”

Ledger, 28, plays Bob Dylan in the biopic, but shares his duties with such stars as Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, and Richard Gere, who also take a turn portraying the iconic singer.

The press, which was only allowed to ask questions about the movie, didn’t question the actor about his breakup with Williams, 26, with whom he has a 23 month-old daughter, Matilda.

But according to our witness, the expression on Ledger’s face said enough.

"Heath clearly had a lot going on in his head. Sometimes he was just staring off to the side, clearly in his own world,” says the source.

Williams and Ledger met on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2004.

From an Australian blog site:

Sources close to Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams aren't surprised about the couple's split. "They have been broken up, on and off, since Matilda was born, and tried in many ways to make it work for her sake," says a source close to Ledger. "Matilda will remain their first priority." The day the news of the breakup surfaced, Ledger brought his mini-me to NYC's Children's Museum of Manhattan, and on September 3, Williams and her daughter were spotted at a cafe in Brooklyn. The past year or so has been filled with ups and downs, says a source, as the duo spent "a few months apart and barely spoke." "You'll see them together again," a Ledger source says of the committed parents. "It won't mean they're back on, but they'll be spending time with Matilda."

I've seen pictures of him in this jacket before, because I remember wondering then what the white things were that hang off the bottom (they look like the inside of pockets). This is obviously a very prized possession!

You're right. It was in February, at the Indipendent Spirit Awards:

At a September 4 news conference promoting his new film I’m Not There, an eyewitness tells Usmagazine.com that the actor was very quiet while fielding questions from reporters.

"He kept his head down a lot and I think he was hoping not to be asked too much," says the onlooker. "He had his hat tipped a little low and didn't really make eye contact with anyone. You could tell that he didn't want to be there.”
 

Uhm, doesn't he always act like that?

The jacket and the red sunglasses. Do you think he really sincerely believes they look good? Or did he get so sick of people ogling him that he tried to find ways to look goofy?

The jacket looks like something someone would wear if they showed up without a jacket at a place where a jacket was required and were handed a three-sizes-too-small jacket by the maître d'.




Honestly I don't think he cares.  He has always struck me as a man who really doesn't care about such things.

Well -- and not to draw this debate out endlessly, because we're getting past the point that even I care -- another reason I wondered about this is that it seemed in his younger days he WAS more appearance conscious. If you look at those old photos, his clothing and hair styles were more conventionally attractive -- or, at least, much more consciously styled -- than now. Of course, that may be due to a stylist or some such person.

Maybe before he was trying to be famous and now he is famous so he doesn't have to pretend anymore?

There used to be alot more photos, too, from photo shoots. Now it is slim pickins, like he knows he doesn't to put himself in front of every camera and microphone that is offered to him. Just MHO.

Hey Heathens....

You probably all already know this by now, but...

I thought I'd post a heads-up that the E! channel ran segments on Heath on both their "News" show and the "Daily 10" show this evening.  They were brief little thingies about the break up or supposed break up and involve the interview that I think you're talking about earlier in this thread (the interview with the hat where he keeps his head down a lot... he also has a few of his little jittery moments).  It's a little interview where he discusses trying to develop a "diplomatic" approach to the paparazzi and celeb reporters by trying to get to know them a little bit.

Heath and Michelle grow apart; plus, Clooney's PDA, Drew smooches Mac guy, along with news on Paul & Renée, Brad, Paris, Gwen and more ...
 
Sept. 4, 2007

Have things gone precipitously downhill for "Brokeback Mountain" lovebirds Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams? That's the word from the weeklies, which report the scowl-prone parents of 23-month-old Matilda recently parted ways after going through a rough patch.

An insider tells Us that Heath, 28, and Michelle, 26, who quickly partnered up while filming "Brokeback" in 2004, "quietly and amicably split a few weeks ago."

Over the weekend, a newly brunette Williams was snapped smiling up a storm while perambulating around her New York neighborhood with Matilda, who's a doppelganger for her dad.

Ledger, for his part, managed to put on a relatively happy face for the press while promoting "I'm Not There" at the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday.

"The relationship had been rocky recently," the mole tattles to Us. "They tried very hard to make it work but finally decided to separate. They just grew apart."

The whole "they wanted to make a go of it but drifted apart" spin appears to be the party line for the chatty sources.

"It was rocky for a while," echoes a confidante of the paparazzi-averse couple to People. "They did what they could to make it work."

Adds a verbose Ledger snitch to Star, "They're both artists who are always looking to grow and expand and explore. In their journey, they did not grow together, they grew apart. They've been fighting for well over six months. They really tried to make it work. But sometimes two people are better apart."

Also piping in on the rift reports is Michelle's estranged dad, Larry Williams, who is currently based in Australia as he fights extradition to the United States on tax evasion charges.

He unplugs his piehole to the Daily Telegraph, offering his thoughts on the duo during "this hugely difficult time of their lives."

"I know Heath and Michelle still care about each other deeply and are very committed to being great parents to their daughter," says Williams, who concedes he doesn't know "Heath very well at all," hasn't spoken to his daughter about the purported bust-up and has never met Matilda.

Rumblings of trouble began brewing in February, when the New York Daily News claimed the twosome was giving each other the silent treatment.

"They had a huge fight, and they're not speaking," a spy told the paper, which claimed Heath had been seen sans Michelle on Valentine's Day at a Los Angeles hot spot "in the company of a gaggle of other women (although not misbehaving)."

For now, it remains unclear whether Ledger and Williams will have to go through the legal hassle of a divorce.

They've refused to comment on widespread speculation that they surreptitiously tied the knot early this year, even though both have been snapped wearing bands around their all-important fingers.

"We try not to talk about it, to keep it our own kind of thing. It's obviously very sacred," the ornery Aussie actor told Newsweek when asked about the "I do" rumors in April. However, he did hint that "photos of us wearing our wedding rings" would offer a pretty big nuptial clue.

Williams, for her part, has long referred to Ledger as her "husband," and recently gushed to Vogue that their connection as" strong as love at first sight."

Thanks Friend!  Well, knowing how the E! news shows usually go... the segments are usually really, really, really short (in the grand tradition of celeb gossip shows).  So in both the cases of the "News" show and the "Daily 10" show Heath's segments were only moderately short.  So, I'd say that he got a TON of coverage (actually) on this topic tonight.  He also came off as being much more mature and sophisticated than so many of the celebrities that they cover... that I think it was an all-around good thing for him (despite the fact that the topic is certainly unpleasant for him).  I think it was particularly good publicity especially because both shows included the little plug for his new movie.

By the way... if anyone can explain the real difference between the "News" and the "Daily 10" I'll buy them a can of beans.  Where I am, these two shows are run back to back at 7 pm and 7:30 pm.  And almost every night, they repeat almost identical stories.  Granted... the format of the shows is different (I mean how they structure how they talk about the stories)... but the stories themselves are almost always the same.
 :-\

OK... this is WAY of topic... and I don't know if people around here will get mad  ;) ... but here goes anyway.... Within the last few weeks (maybe month or so) the E! News show has begun every night with their normal music and title shown along with a montage of tons of different celebrity shots (many clips from red carpets, etc.).  And, Jake has a prime, prime spot in the montage from the Brokeback Oscars red carpet (I think).  I'm sure he's happy with his publicist for that one.


Also... hE!ath...  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Good one Crayons!

Imagine if you had to announce it in a press release, and be constantly questioned about it by reporters and strangers on the street, and have people speculate -- perhaps even to your face -- on whether it was a mistake to get together so quickly, to have a baby so soon, whether maybe Heath did it so people wouldn't think he was gay (as if it wouldn't have been easier to just not take the role in the first place, if that was a big fear of his, rather than have to marry someone and have a baby to cover his tracks!  ::)) ...

Excellent points you make.

Do you notice that the glasses aren't the red sunglasses?  Could it be lighting?  Me thinks maybe sometimes he chooses to put on the silly red sunglasses, and other times not?

I think that about Heath in a lot of his interviews. Not that it's a very high bar these days ...  :P

(Confessions of a "The View" watcher: Whenever "the ladies" have a young actress as a guest -- recently, Anne Hathaway and Julia Stiles -- they always ask how they've managed to avoid the fates of their fellow young celebrities: public inebriation and nudity, sex scandals, DWIs, jail time, etc. Apparently that's now the norm, and anything different is cause for curiosity and comment.)

I wish I could find a copy of the interview, I'm still trying , but in it Heath talked about his early days in Hollywood, after 10 Thing I Hate About You and before A Knights Tale, when he was being groomed and styled and presented as the hunk of the moment and how much he hated it.  He said that was why he took the role in The Patriot and Monsters Ball because he wanted people to take him seriously and not look at him as just another light weight Hollywood pretty boy. When that didn't work he said he just took whatever came along in an attempt to sabotage his career and re-invent himself much the same way Johnny Depp did.    I really do feel the changes we've seen in the way he presents himself over the last 5 or 6 years is a reflection of that.  I also remember reading an interview with Naomi Watts once where she said she was always telling him what to wear.

If I find links I'll post them....anyway enough about his sartorial incorrectness.  ;)

Yes, I agree.

To me, it seems more than just "not caring" ... I think he chooses to wear what he does.  Specifically.

(I am flashing back to when I was young and my mom ALWAYS fussed at me to tuck my shirt in, and I NEVER tucked it in.)

I just saw the E! News blurb!!!  Aww, my heart melts, at the little brief interview bit that aired...  That hat (anyone know what it is called?) is now totally endeared to me...

Hey, Amanda, welcome to HHH!  I saw that interview, too, and was amazed at 1) the amount of time they actually devoted to Heath (usually it's two seconds) and 2)  Heath's softened attitude toward the paparazzi.  I hope both things become a trend.  ;)

I looked at E! Online to see if there was a video of it, but found only this earlier video from Sunday's show: http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=282c303f-5fff-4989-890d-fcfe6dd5d0ad (http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=282c303f-5fff-4989-890d-fcfe6dd5d0ad)

Some film actors tend to be upstaged by their own beauty: people like Brad Pitt, Uma Thurman and Heather Graham.

I think the way Heath dresses & grooms (or doesn't groom LOL) is deliberate -- along the same lines of not wanting to be a prettyboy lightweight.

Somehow I imagine it will be a relief to him when he gets much older -- out of the poster-boy treadmill for good, but still prime as an actor.

In the meantime, I really enjoy and appreciate his apparent sartorial ineptitude for some reason. It makes him seem so much more human.

Well put!! I'm not sure I'd put Heather Graham into the category, and as for Uma I do think she's pretty but have never found her quite as beautiful as most people do. But I certainly understand the general principle, and agree that it applies to Brad Pitt and others. I think men are particularly wary of that trap, because for them beauty is even more equated with lightweightness than it is for women. Some women -- Angelina Jolie comes to mind -- are able to be seen as both beautiful and serious actresses. But for men, beauty is a definite liability.

I saw Uma Thurman in person in Soho (NYC) back in 1999. She was walking into a store I was walking out of. I didn't think she was that beautiful. The only impressive thing about her was that she is tall and lean, but other than that it seemed to me that she needed make up to look nice.

And don't forget long blonde hair. That goes a long way for some people.

I think she's very attractive, but to me her face has a strange geometry that keeps it from being really beautiful.

Though then again, what actress really IS beautiful? My friend and I were trying to figure this out last week. We assigned each other to come up with some honest-to-God BEAUTIFUL actresses. The only one I could think of was Catherine Zeta Jones. My friend named Sophia Loren.

I think Brad Pitt is way more beautiful than Angelina Jolie, and he's not even my type.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a very good joice. THE most beautiful woman I can think of is Catherine Deneuve. Gawd, she's drop-dead gorgeous.
And Jodie Foster. Although not as beautiful as La Deneuve, she's simply my type. If I ever were to switch teams, she'd be the one I'd drool over. Heck, I do drool over her, lol.

Other classic beauties are Grace Kelly and Romy Schneider.

As for Heath and his sartorial mistakes: I tend to believe that it's a combination of two things: he really doesn't care, plus he just doen't have an eye for it. If I showed Heath pics to my husband, I bet he wouldn't find anything strange in the way Heath dresses (except for the smurf hat maybe).

beautiful as well.  But she is almost too pretty...She looks kind of unreal.

      I still think Elizabeth Taylor at her prime. was the most beautiful woman I have
ever seen.

As the starter of Heath, Heath, Heath thread I have to say, welcome! Glad you are here. This is a thread for hardcore Heathens which means that Heath-love is always welcome. Also Heath news and info...and most importantly, Heath photos.

Seems like with your contributions so far, you are fitting in just fine with the group.

Just to keep the picture thing going, how about this?

Okay, I literally had no idea what sartorial meant.  So just in case I'm not the only one:

Sartorial - adj. 1. Pertaining to tailors or tailoring.  2. Pertaining to clothing, esp. men's.

Hey, you all probably know that Ang won the Golden Lion again in Venice!  Go, Ang!  8)

Our boy Heath was shown on the BBC News accepting the Best Actress award for Cate Blanchett, who won for "I'm Not There."  Clearly, she wasn't!  ;)  The movie got one of the Runner-Up awards.  8)

Two more reasons I am soooo glad I know you:

1) We love the same Heath/Ennis photos.

2) You would call a (slightly) misplaced comma "a horrible typo."

But seriously people, much as I love Heath including his quirky style in clothing, this *is* over the top, even for me. No way he's oblivious about style, this has got to be deliberate. Perhaps he'd rather have people talking about his clothes than about his and Michelle's split-up?

Geeezzzzz Heath....  ::)

He needs to start taking some clothing advice from his friend, Jake. He knows what to wear to premieres.

But seriously, I love it when people wear whacky stuff, hell, I do it all the time myself, but this is just... wrong!  :P On the other hand, some people want to look whackey and they spend a lot of money looking out of the ordinary and with Heath you can see that he just pulls something old from his closet and goes with it. It's kinda admirable and weird at the same time.

BUT, he still looks damn good, his face is so cute, and this coming from somebody who never really thought he was good looking!

I must confess, I sorta hoped he had been photoshopped - guess not!!

I noticed on some sites after the first day he was getting TOTALLY ragged on for the sunglasses and what not, so I can't help but envision him thinking this: "Hah!  They didn't like the sunglasses - well, I'll show them!"

Maybe we should just stop talking about his clothes!

Ah well, it makes me smile.

Good point! Considering we spent a day or so discussing his sartorial choices, maybe it's US he said "I'll show them" to!

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Well, I'm afraid this picture totally eliminates the "he just doesn't care about clothes" theory. Nobody just randomly grabs a pair of red-and-white-striped socks out of the drawer and throws them on -- with shorts! -- because they can't be bothered to look for something more ... usual.

Hell, who even OWNS red-and-white-striped socks, outside of elves and the Wicked Witch of the East (no wait, maybe hers were black and white).

Yup, I totally agree regarding *that* outfit. Nobody dresses like that by accident. And like you, it was the socks that totally convinced me.

Im sorry to all of you Heath fans.....he's reallly done it this time.

There is no excuse for wearing clothes like that...no excuse at all......

He could have worn a pair of old jeans if he wanted to be "comfortable"...

The only reason someone would wear those clothes is for the shock value and publicity....but in my opinion.....Heath is not famous enough, well known enough or a superstart actor enough yet, to be able to be tolerated wearing a clown costume to the awards ceremony....and if he doesnt watch himself, he may find he wont be invited to too many more if he thumbs his nose at the etiquette that everyone else seems happy to comply with.

Who in the hell does he think he is????

Yes, it's the Shell (or rather, "hell") T-shirt. So... not something he shopped for recently, this. Something old, something new, something.... red&white striped!

And did y'all notice his vest is buttoned up all askew?

Man, did he go to real efforts to look as weirdly clothed as at all possible. And of course, 't was the socks stood out to me too.

I'm of two minds. Well, actually, 3:

On the one hand, I do find it impolite to show up dressed like that. It's the black-tie conclusion and awards ceremony to the festival, is it not? And he probably knew he'd even be accepting (on behalf of Cate Blanchett if she won).

One the other hand, I totally admire his guts, too. Going out like that in public with lots of photographers about? Going to the festival's gala conclusion with lots of beautifully and tastefully dressed movie hot-shots about, dressed like that? Whatever the intended message, and to whom.... he's got guts. I'm not sure I'd have the courage to get up like that in my own house, even.

On the third hand,  ::) at self , yes Penth, it *is* fun to discuss this and I bet that's at least partly why he's doing it. He's a real Joker.


(ETA: I hope you won't all kick me and yell at me for saying this, but if I'm being honest I have to admit that this thought *did* cross my mind: I really do hope he wasn't high on something while getting dressed for the ceremony.  :-\   )

"Impolite".......thats what it definately is......

If the organisers of these ceremonies can go to all the expense to make this a glamorous occassion, I think Heath could have been polite enough to have bought himself a nice suit to wear.

And I dont think it took "guts" to wear that outfit.....it took an enormous ego and a considerable amount of "smart arse"....as we would say over here in Australia.

He has not done himself, or his country proud....most Aussies would be looking at those photos and saying........."Fair dinkim.....what the fuck is that drongo wearing"......

Also, I noticed while looking at the pics that now appear from his stint on the red carpet that his left knee looks battered and bruised. Here's a snippet. It does look to be more than just the shadow of the bermuda shorts thingie's leg:

Well, here's another unsettling theory. He's no doubt been under a huge amount of emotional strain lately for all the obvious reasons. Maybe this is sort of his way of acting out -- a kind of "Oh, f'ck it all!" response, almost semi-self-destructive. I mean, he's not just underdressed for an awards ceremony. He's not even committing a small rebellious act, like wearing Converse high-tops with a tuxedo. He's out-and-out absurdly dressed.

All the outfits we've snarked about in the past, the Smurf hat, the too-small jackets, the red sunglasses, etc., all seem like sincere choices that just happened to be unflattering. But this! This is like giving the finger to all those really-dressed-up people on the red carpet with him.

If it's a self-destructive kind of act, I feel bad for him. But the bright side is that there are far worse ways to self-destruct than wearing red-striped socks.

That's why I'm hoping this weird clothes ensemble isn't just the outward tell-tale sign of some even more unsettling self-destructive behaviour. I think it was the vest buttoned askew that got me to worrying about that, especially, - even more than those socks.*sigh*

I love you, Heath.

He's going thru a hard time in his private life--he needs support. He is most likely exhausted from his grueling time on the Dark Knight set, as well. He should have stayed at home and rested that night, I think.

I have done things in the throes of a depressiion that I would not have done otherwise--just--no one cared if I did it or not. He's in the public spotlight, so his bad behavior gets chronicled.

I think one thing needs to be pointed out here:

He is Australian.  Not only is he Australian, he is WESTERN Australian.  Having been there, I can tell you Australians have two modes of dress:  pin-striped grey charcoal suits, and "anything goes."  And that means ANYTHING GOES.  They are the most informal, non conformist dressers I have ever seen in my life!

well, I should probably read everyone's comments before opening my big mouth, but alas... I am not patient enough...

I personally think it is fun to talk about what he is wearing - and I mean, fun, as in I enjoy seeing what he does, not as in fun to pick on him, etc... So it is fun for me to see him in funny sunglasses, just as it is um, titillating for me to see jake in a wet t shirt or swim trunks.

I was going to comment on the drug comment, but really don't have any position to, so I won't...

Oh yeah - remember the swan thing Bjork wore to some awards show... is Heath doing anything really all that different?

Leslie and Dottie, yes, I get your points and I do hope you're right.

However, Venice is an important European film festival and this *is* Venice's equivalent of Oscars night. And for all Heath is an individualist out to express his nervous energy and for all he gets into the role of the moment, he did certainly toe the line and show up at the Oscars in the required tux. He knows how to when he wants to, or has to. So however much it pains me to say so, and however much I hope you are right about the *reasons* for his clothing, - I do continue to find this unneccessarily impolite. (Though also gutsy, as I've said. )

But I won't harp on anymore about that, - he's a dear and I root for him no matter what weird outfit he appears in (or out of as the case may be). And on that note - thanks for the image you posted, Adiabatic!  :)

I read somewhere alluding to the fact that as the Joker Heath will likely be seen in many such costumes... specifically having to do with the striped socks I think...

The point is, even if he is finished, he may still very well have the Joker in his mind. And he may have the Joker in his mind for the next year since I suspect there will be a huge publicity juggernaut for The Dark Knight until its release next July.

My 2 cents.

Leslie and Dottie, yes, I get your points and I do hope you're right.

However, Venice is an important European film festival and this *is* Venice's equivalent of Oscars night. And for all Heath is an individualist out to express his nervous energy and for all he gets into the role of the moment, he did certainly toe the line and show up at the Oscars in the required tux. He knows how to when he wants to, or has to. So however much it pains me to say so, and however much I hope you are right about the *reasons* for his clothing, - I do continue to find this unneccessarily impolite. (Though also gutsy, as I've said. )


Mikaela--I am not disagreeing with you. And you are right, he shined up quite nicely for the Academy Awards in 2006. But let's also remember, Larry McMurtry showed up for the same ceremony in jeans and cowboy boots.

There was a time where I always made sure to wear what was "expected" at various functions. As I have gotten older, I have become more comfortable with being me and not dressing to meet the expectations of others. In other words, when I go to the Oscars, I won't be wearing ripped jeans--but I won't be wearing 5 inch heels, either. LOL

But I bet you won't be wearing red-and-white-striped socks, either!  :laugh:

Like Mikaela, I'm of two minds on this.

On the one hand, I don't even own a pair of 5-inch heels. Lately, when dressing up, I have started wearing heels that are 2 1/2 to 3 inches, and THAT'S a big deal. I never spend more than $100 on a purse or shoes (generally far, far less) and am appalled that people will pay in the high three and four figures for these things. I shop at places like the Gap, and even then I walk into the store and immediately scan for the SALE racks. In other words, I'm anything but a fashionista.

I do, however, believe in the idea of honoring an important event -- a dinner party, the theater, church (and I don't even go to church!) -- by dressing up for it. When I see an actor on a talk show wearing a suit and tie (for some reason, it seems that actors who do this are almost always British) I immediately like them better. When I see an actor wearing a sloppy T-shirt on a talk show, I like them a tiny bit less. It's like they are showing they don't care -- not about how they look, but about the show or the audience. To me, dressing up shows respect for the event, and for the other people there.

On the other hand, I don't like the idea of enforced rigid conformity. If Heath wants to dress like this, I guess he's 19 (plus), he can do what he wants, hunh?

and my 2 cents to go with it  ;)  Since the Joker is one of the main and pivotal characters in The Dark Knight I suspect that Heath is still very much involved and will continue to be until the film wraps completely.  As for him speaking disrespectfully, I think the exact opposite is true, in all the footage I have seen he has been thoughtful, quiet, mature and showing far more patience with the whole process than he ever has in the past.

Before saying anything about Heath, I gotta throw a kiss into your direction, Leslie, for this sentence. Not "if", but when - and not "would", but will (respectively won't).
You go girl!  :-*

Personally, I find his outfit weird and think it is chosen deliberately. But for the reasons? - We all don't know and to be honest, I don't care too much. I certainly don't find it impolite. I personally don't believe in clothes. I wouldn't care when a banker is dressed as a punker and has three needles through his cheeks. I wouldn't care if someone had come in this outfit to my wedding, I do not think we need rules how to dress correctly. I think clothes should have only one purpose: to keep people warm (I know that's not the case in the real world, but that's how I think it should be).

In my mother's childhood, girls were not allowed to wear trousers. We've come a far way from that, but still cling too much to those society set dress codes. Although I do find Heaths outfit weird, I know the reason WHY I find it that, is only because I have learned to think of it as weird.

I agree with the bolded part.  Heath has dressed properly, though not really the conventional type, for the previous 2 appearances, it's not as if he had worn short pants to the whole Film Festival; I don't quite understand the whole 'impolite' condemnation.

Right, that is also what I thought.  (well, I don't really have enough background to compare it to previous events, but I didn't see anything disrespectful in his behavior, mannerisms, or speech in Venice)

From this morning's (Sydney) Daily Telegraph:

"Single Heath's Fashion Clanger"

(http://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o126/kez4oz/heath.jpg)

On one of his first outings as a single man, Heath Ledger has displayed some unusual fashion sense at the Venice Film Festival.

Ledger, 28, who is to play the Joker in the next Batman movie, debuted an ensemble that would not have looked out of place on set.

His bizarre outfit included grey shorts, a black waste coat, bright yellow shirt with red and white striped socks and black lace-up shoes on the red carpet.

It was completed with a casual backpack, dark sunglasses and a white handkerchief in the lapel of the suit jacket he wore over his waistcoat.

Ledger was accepting an award for best actress on behalf of Australian actress Cate Blanchett for her portrayal of Bob Dylan in I'm Not There. Blanchett starred with Ledger in the film but was unable to attend the awards, which marked the closing of the Venice Film Festival.

The recently separated star - his split with partner Michelle Williams was confirmed last week - appeared relaxed compared with other red carpet appearances, where he has clashed with water pistol-wielding paparazzi.

Ledger took time to pose with fans even volunteering to take pictures of himself with admirers.

Heath, honey, I love ya dearly, mate. But what were you thinking? I'm embarrassed for you. I'd forgive your eccentric outfit if it was clean! It looks like you slept in it! You look dirty and unkempt.  There are lots of people out here who love you dearly, baby. We want you to do well and succeed.  Get your act together. Crikey, I'm speechless!  :'(

Kerry, is it because you and I are Australian that we are a bit more touchy and a bit more embarrassed about Heath??.....maybe it is....

I, like you, want him to do well and succeed, because he is an Aussie....we know how hard it is for them to break into the "big time" over there and hate to see them do something that seems "UN-AUSTRALIAN".....

I don't generally feel embarrassed for people unless they themselves act embarrassed...

 ;)

He seemed just fine.


Now, when Miss teen South Carolina made her internet debut about U.S. geography, I did think, "Gee, I hope the cracks about stupid southern Blondes are kept to a minimum..."  As in I didn't want to hear generalizations about the level of education of southern women.  So... I can see being potentially concerned about perceptions related to Heath's representation of Australia...  but, well, it's just Heath wearing what he wants to wear, nothing to be embarrassed about for anyone, imo.  He's not carrying the flag at the Olympics or attending a global summit...   And you know, even if he was, who really cares (at least he's not getting arrested for drunk driving every other week! or lying to the public regarding the necessity of war!)...

I keep trying, and failing, to bow out of this discussion gracefully...

Sorry...  back to picture posting...

He was wearing a jacket and white shirt, no tie. I am sure all the world leaders in the audience were more dressed up. Are people getting wound up about Hugh's lack of a tie?

Heath, just so you know, I love you. And I love your red and white socks. Maybe in your honor, today I'll wear my socks that have little LL Bean tote bags embroidered all over them. LOL

WESTBROOK, Me (AP). Leslie H. Nicoll, of Westbrook, Maine, USA, headed off to work today in a fetching ensemble consisting of blue denim pedal pushers, a green Maine Public Radio tee-shirt, a black raincoat, and black socks, embroidered with green, yellow, red and blue LL Bean tote bags. Asked about her outfit, Nicoll replied, “Maybe in Sydney Australia they would call this a clanger. I call it haute couture.”

Nicoll was reacting to the international uproar to Heath Ledger’s evening wear choices at the awards ceremony of the 64th Venice International Film Festival. Ledger has raised eyebrows worldwide with his choice of shorts, yellow tee shirt and red and white striped socks. While some have supported his independent fashion “joie de vivre” others have condemned his costume; still others have mused that he may be depressed and not able to make “good choices” in the wake of his recent break-up with Michelle Williams.

Further elaborating on her clothing selections, Nicoll noted that it is raining today in Westbrook. “The raincoat is for functionality,” she said. “The socks are for fun.”

Nicoll urged Heathens worldwide to support their man Heath today by wearing wacky socks and other unconventional sartorial choices. “The way people are carrying on about his red and white socks,” she said, “you’d really think that was a fashion faux pas. I have no problem with the socks—in fact, I think they are sort of cute. Now if he had shown up wearing a jock strap on his head, that would be something to talk about.”

there is a very intensive media advertising campaign afoot involving the Joker character for the upcoming release of "Dark Knight" including a scavenger hunt that took place recently in San Diego.  It is clear that Heath is most likely under contract to participate in the media campaign, because there is no other explanation for the striped socks except to remind people of the upcoming release of the film.

Well then, Chrissi, no doubt YOU will make some headlines when you attend the Academy Awards! (Though even balmy Southern California can get cool at night in February, so you might want to at least bring a shawl)!  :laugh: :laugh:

OK, none of this is earth-shakingly important, but because it's kind of interesting (and what else do we have to talk about, anyway? war? poverty? environmental destruction? Nahhh ...).

As humans living in society, we are aware of clothing norms and expectations. We can choose to meet them ... or not. There shouldn't be rigidly enforced "rules" either way. But people who choose not to follow expectations are making a choice, for a reason. They're sending a message, and it's interesting to try to decode what message they have in mind.

If someone appears at a formal event in formal clothes, they're making a statement: I'm willing to follow the traditions associated with this event. If someone else shows up in a T-shirt and jeans, they're also making a statement, though its meaning isn't as obvious. Perhaps they're saying, "I don't care about clothes." Or "For me, comfort is much more important than formality." Or maybe it's "This event thnks it's important, but I don't take it seriously." Whatever it is, they're saying something.

Now what if someone appears at a formal event wearing clothes that aren't just informal but are actually outré -- striped socks, "hell" T-shirt, etc.? That person is really making a statement. Nobody looks into their closet, sees a tuxedo on one side and striped socks on the other and picks the latter because they think it looks better. The question is, what is the statement they are making? Is it:

"Here's what I think of all the fussy formality surrounding these silly awards!"

or

"I'm playing the Joker in a new movie and I'm really getting into the role!"

or

"I'm carefree and madcap and unconventional!"

Or what??!

Why on earth should red and white striped socks remind anybody of Batman? Admitted, I'm not into Batman at all. But if there is a connection, shouldn't someone have thought of something more obvious, a reference people like me can get? Because the fans of it will know about the upcoming release anyway.

 :laugh: I will, you just wait and see.  :laugh:
Seriously: Do you never challenge seemingly obvious things? Who in hell decided that clothes are important for more than to protect your body from cold/sunburn? Many thousand years ago there must have been a prehistoric human being that wanted to show off: "So there! My furry coat is prettier than yours!" The neighbour countered with an even prettier and newer furry coat - and the rest is history ( ;)).

Why couldn't women wear trousers 50 years ago? Why can't boys wear pink and skirts/dresses? Why can't a banker wear shorts during summer? Why can't an actor wear bermudas and striped socks for an award show?

This doesn't make any sense apart from following society's rules. But why does nobody question whether the rules themselves make sense?

As social beings living closely together with others, we need rules, laws (call 'em whatever you want) to make a society possible. But do we really need all of them? Do we really need a specific law for chimney sweepers? No, not a joke, this law does exist in Germany.
Do we really need dress codes in order to make living in a larger society possible? What purpose do they fulfill, other than seperating different "classes" of people?

OK, none of this is earth-shakingly important, but because it's kind of interesting (and what else do we have to talk about, anyway? war? poverty? environmental destruction? Nahhh ...).

 :laugh: ;)


Quote
As humans living in society, we are aware of clothing norms and expectations. We can choose to meet them ... or not. There shouldn't be rigidly enforced "rules" either way. But people who choose not to follow expectations are making a choice, for a reason. They're sending a message, and it's interesting to try to decode what message they have in mind.

If someone appears at a formal event in formal clothes, they're making a statement: I'm willing to follow the traditions associated with this event. If someone else shows up in a T-shirt and jeans, they're also making a statement, though its meaning isn't as obvious. Perhaps they're saying, "I don't care about clothes." Or "For me, comfort is much more important than formality." Or maybe it's "This event thnks it's important, but I don't take it seriously." Whatever it is, they're saying something.

Now what if someone appears at a formal event wearing clothes that aren't just informal but are actually outré -- striped socks, "hell" T-shirt, etc.? That person is really making a statement. Nobody looks into their closet, sees a tuxedo on one side and striped socks on the other and picks the latter because they think it looks better. The question is, what is the statement they are making? Is it:

"Here's what I think of all the fussy formality surrounding these silly awards!"

or

"I'm playing the Joker in a new movie and I'm really getting into the role!"

or

"I'm carefree and madcap and unconventional!"

Or what??!



Like all of us, I don't know it. But interestingly, in Germany nobody took notice of it! I read/saw some articles/news about the award show. Guess what? Most of them didn't mention Heath at all, and if they did, they said only he accepted an award by proxy of Cate Blanchett.
Maybe some yellow press has mentioned it. But that's not the criterion, is it?

Perhaps he wore the clothes to give his fans something interesting to talk about and debate in the forums. If that was the purpose, he's sure achieved his goal!  ;) 


Instead of the usual "drool, swoon, OMG Gorgeous!!!" comments (which Jake got as always - for his immaculately dressed appearance in Toronto) we're discussing the purpose of clothes and dress code, and the message sent through conforming / deliberately not conforming. Heath knows how to make it interesting and to engage brain cells other than those drool&swoon centers (not that those aren't engaged too!)

Well, people do question those rules, many times....and in many ways?  ???

But there's a strong wish in most of us to conform to the expected and the norm.

More than that, though - there's the whole act of balancing making a statement and challenging the accepted norm with upsetting, hurting and/or offending people. You used the example earlier of mentioning that people could wear whatever they wanted to your wedding, you'd not care. But if *you* went to the wedding of people you knew *would* care about superficial appearances; - would you dress up in any old battered set of T-shirt and throusers regardless? Knowing you'd offend and even hurt them, mar their "perfect day" the way they perceive that term? I guess not? There's always the question of whether and when the statement is worth making, - if the cost of making it is not too high.

Using that as an analogy to Heath's appearance s far from perfect, of course -  the people being offended at the awards gala are likely powerful stuffy film execs with much less, if any, personal investment than any bride and groom (and far more calculated financial investment).

Actually, the more I think of it, the more I like his wackyness, if for no other reason it completey serves as a contrast to everyone else and to point out how utterly stuffy all these awards ceremonies are. How everyone shows up to pat each other on the back (or stab each other same place) and it's all about money and less about creativity and film as an art..... people mainly posturing with blazing smiles and appearances that it took stylists and make-up consultants the whole day to complete - enjoying their fame and fortune and congratulating themselves on their success (at least that's the impression I'm firmly left with, especially after watching Oscar night).

No idea if that was what Heath was trying to make a statement about, but if it was I (once more) can't help applauding his guts - even if it was impolite. Perhaps it was playing a major role in the big-buck commercially tuned Batman movie that made him do it, - who knows what kind of politicking and money-discussions go on behind the sets of that kind of mega blockbuster, - probably more than enough to make anyone want to act out a little bit against the corporate suits tuxes.

I'm just thinking aloud, here.

Seriously: Do you never challenge seemingly obvious things?

Oh, don't get me started!!  :laugh: :laugh: Yes. All the time. Including the clothes issue.

Quote
Who in hell decided that clothes are important for more than to protect your body from cold/sunburn?

I think human nature decided this. As long as humans are humans, clothes will always be about more than environmental protection. They can be about competition and status-seeking, as you point out. They also can be about aesthetic expression, personal expression, self-decoration, role playing, signaling authority or social group or political views ...

Quote
Why couldn't women wear trousers 50 years ago? Why can't boys wear pink and skirts/dresses? Why can't a banker wear shorts during summer? Why can't an actor wear bermudas and striped socks for an award show?

They can! It's not against the law. There are customs, but people are not obligated to follow them. It's just that breaking clothing customs, like other social customs, carries social consequences. People will notice you look different and talk about it, as we are. Most people who drastically breech customs are OK with that -- that's usually at least part of the reason they do it. After all, wearing red-striped socks is no easier or more comfortable than wearing neutral solid-color socks. So if you choose the red-striped ones, knowing that they're not customary, you probably have a reason for it. So the question is not, why isn't anyone allowed to wear red-striped socks to a formal event? They are, of course! Nobody kicked Heath out. The question is, why did he choose to do it, knowing people would consider it unusual?

Quote
But why does nobody question whether the rules themselves make sense?

Obviously some people do, such as Heath!  :)

Quote
Do we really need dress codes in order to make living in a larger society possible? What purpose do they fulfill, other than seperating different "classes" of people?

Well, that is one important purpose. Society dames and bikers and fashion models and punk rockers and business executives adopt different forms of dress partly to signal who they are, what social group they belong to, who they identify with, what they believe.

I just looked through a series of Venize Festival photos with commentary that one of the major papers here has recently put up. The series show that most other actors apparently came dressed to the nines in grand gala attire on the red carpet, while various directors (Woody Allen, Tim Burton, for instance) looked quite more relaxed and randomly dressed. But anyway, the paper's got various pics of Heath (He's definitely the one guy they've got the most pics of, in addition to Brad Pitt) - and they've got one picture only showing Heath's feet, socks and shoes. I kind of liked the paper's comment to that one. It's not judgmental, no criticism, rather it comes with a fond smile and a hint of raised eyebrows:

"Good-looking Heath Ledger recently has chosen to show his more eccentric, "Nightmare on Elm Street"-inspired side, as demonstrated here by how he dressed his feet."

 8)

Hmmm.... I'd rather think it was the hat brought them in mind of Freddy Krueger (sp?). Clarissa, you made me smile with the Pinocchio comparison. And the weird socks photos - heh! Too funny, you guys!

I'll say - Heath not only makes fans engage their brains, but also their artistic and inventive powers. Lovely!! :)

I've been holding my tongue re: Heath's unfortunate red carpet attire mainly because I was waiting for some sort of explanation from him. (He still hasn't called, lol!)  I just don't understand why someone who apparently doesn't like the paps would dress like paparazzi-bait.  Unless he was trying to redirect everyone's attention from his personal life and the recent breakup to his wardrobe? 

Regardless, I think it was a tad disrespectful to dress (way)down for a dressy affair. It almost looks like an attention-getting stunt which is so not what I thought Heath was about.  If the photo had been taken on the streets of NY or something, then I would be celebrating his anti-fashion look (Although I find dirty old shoes really hard to accept under any circumstances, lol!) but is the closing ceremonies of an international event the right venue for trying to bring back the grunge look? 

Then again, maybe he was trying to make a comment about our celebrity-obsessed society.  We do seem to care more about celebrities' wardrobes than we do about genocide, world hunger, war, etc.  Check out any news stand for supporting evidence, lol!
I think I like this explanation!  Go, Heath Go! :)

It's true, but I'm not sure dressing bizarrely is the most effective way to direct people's attention toward more serious issues. At least, it doesn't seem to have had that effect on US* ...  :laugh:

WESTBROOK, Me (AP). Leslie H. Nicoll, of Westbrook, Maine, USA, headed off to work today in a fetching ensemble consisting of blue denim pedal pushers, a green Maine Public Radio tee-shirt, a black raincoat, and black socks, embroidered with green, yellow, red and blue LL Bean tote bags. Asked about her outfit, Nicoll replied, “Maybe in Sydney Australia they would call this a clanger. I call it haute couture.”

Nicoll was reacting to the international uproar to Heath Ledger’s evening wear choices at the awards ceremony of the 64th Venice International Film Festival. Ledger has raised eyebrows worldwide with his choice of shorts, yellow tee shirt and red and white striped socks. While some have supported his independent fashion “joie de vivre” others have condemned his costume; still others have mused that he may be depressed and not able to make “good choices” in the wake of his recent break-up with Michelle Williams.

Further elaborating on her clothing selections, Nicoll noted that it is raining today in Westbrook. “The raincoat is for functionality,” she said. “The socks are for fun.”

Nicoll urged Heathens worldwide to support their man Heath today by wearing wacky socks and other unconventional sartorial choices. “The way people are carrying on about his red and white socks,” she said, “you’d really think that was a fashion faux pas. I have no problem with the socks—in fact, I think they are sort of cute. Now if he had shown up wearing a jock strap on his head, that would be something to talk about.”


 ;D ;D ;D

Okay, you've got me!  I shall try to come up with some sort of sartorial incorrectness to wear tomorrow!

(AP.) (Immediate Release) Mr. and Mrs. Knee High Socks of Camden, ME, are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, LL Bean Tote Bag Socks to Renegade Red Striped Socks, of Perth, Australia.

Tote Bag and Renegade met a year ago at a foot fetish affair. After a heel to heel courtship they realized their toes were locked. True love ensued.

Renegade is the grandson of Raggedy Ann and Andy. His maternal great-aunt is the Wicked Witch of the West. His family are proud of their striped sock heritage.

Tote Bag comes from a distinguished line of sacks, including Brown Sack, Plastic Sack, and Biodegradable Sack. Her great-grandfather, LL Bean Tote Bag, transmuted the sack gene to socks. The family is still scratching their heads over that, but are happy about the multi-channel marketing possibilities.

When asked about their future together, the happy fiancée said, “I love stripes and red and white are my favorite. I can think of nothing better than with being with Renegade for the rest of my life.” Renegade concurred, saying demurely, “All I want to do is dip my toes into her tote.”

A spring wedding is planned. Although plans are preliminary, the wedding party is likely to be barefoot. Guests should plan accordingly.

Do you think he would be appalled if he became a trendsetter?  e.g. if a bunch of fans showed up outside a film premiere or some such dressed in striped socks, shorts, jackets, hat, etc., would he think, "My, you people are ridiculous!"  Or, would he laugh and be happy?

I think that's exactly what it looks like (I think she's way too young for a denture, but you never know what's hip in such circles  ;)).

I vote for Heath promoting at least one movie per year (preferably two), since he's so notoriously private, the times between we get definitely too few pics to discuss.  ;D

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd have to be a decade behind on my sleep to yawn with Heath next to me!     

(Although option 3 – taking a chomp out of him – would be reasonable under the circumstances.)

But anyway, if she's yawning, she could at least cover her mouth at the table. Eeew.

I think she's yawning and I think she's making an (entirely unsuccessful) effort to cover her mouth.

Wonder sho she is? Anyone know? Hopefullly she's a celebrity, or famous for something, because....

Imagine *that* yawn and ditto picture representing your proverbial 15 minutes of fame!  :o :o
 
No wonder she's throwing her hands up in an "oh shit!" despairing gesture in the very next picture.  ;D

While Heath graciously missed it all.  ;)

^ Y'know, it really sucks in my opinion that it's so freaking easy for male stars to just date around seemingly so soon after a breakup. Michelle (or any woman with a child) will probably never have it that easy. (He's still a stud; she's a "Mom". In other words, a high-profile marriage in your past and parenthood in your present tends to diminish a woman's image and perceived attractiveness, but not a man's.)

I'm not really talking about Heath + Michelle in particular even (nor can we assume the above story is the gospel truth). But I'm just saying the reality of this as it generally applies to the sexes really pisses me off.

They obviously don't have pics of them together so they cut-and-pasted something. However the truth level to that, Heath sure *has* been out and about these last couple of days. There's images and film snippets enough to prove that in addition to stories like the Helena one, and you need search no further than a couple of Heath fan sites for it.

Agree with you Laura - reading that whole "article" made me mad, though it's not worth it of course. "Cheer up Demi Moore, there's always Heath Ledger?!?" As a comment to the (married, AFAIK) Demi's troubles in getting roles at her age. How stupid and sexist *is* that?  ::)   (OK, I'm marveling at my own ability to get riled by silly celebrity stuff. Thought I was past that a long time ago. Though the difference in media's and the industry's treatment of men and women celebrities is quite infuriating.)



But then the image  here under the link  (http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2007/09/michelle-will-2.html)made me smile. Was taken Friday, apparently. Was there ever a kid who looked more than her dad than Matilda does?  :)  She's even wearing stripes. Aaawwww. She's such a total cutie! (And her mom too IMO).

It gives me pause to see how big Matilda is now, since my BBM obsession   interest started before she was even born. She's the perfect visual reminder of how long this BBM thing has been going on for me.


I remember reading and re-reading the short story, and visiting film sites and buying magazines and waiting for the film to finally premiere: That included watching the Toronto press conference on the net - Michelle so pregnant by then she could hardly reach the microphone on the table. Then there was the interviews surrounding the Oscar nominations, when heath and Michelle described how the then few-months old baby Matilda kept them up at night so they just got the telephone calls about their nominations in the morning and stumbled back to bed in a tired daze....

And here she is, soon 2 years old, the very image of her dad, and I'm *still* totally infatuated with everything Jack and Ennis and Heath and Jake. I'm beginning to wonder whether that will *still* be the same when the gossip magazines sport the "Matilda Ledger Elected Prom Queen" headline.  ;)

Oh gosh, she is the cutest baby (toddler now) I have seen in ages (well apart from my own nephew and niece). She does look strikingly like her father, down to the way she looks into or past the camera. Makes me even more sad to see the sad look on her father's face in the preceding pics. I bet he misses his little girl. I have never seen a baby look like her father as much as Matilda looks like her father. Soooooo cute, it puts a smile on my face!

From this morning's (Sydney) Sunday Telegraph, under the headline "Stars Join the NY Catwalk Crowd," after reporting on Bette Midler's attendance at the Zac Posen show with her daughter, Sophie, (with a lovely pic of them both - they sure do look alike!) there follows this:

"Looking as shiny and expressionless as an inflatable doll, (Victoria) Beckham was snapped in a tight purple and blue number, and later changed into a slinky green and black dress as she watched Oscar de la Renta's show. Nearby was newly single Heath Ledger who could have done with a hair wash and an iron. Sporting his usual rumpled eclectic look and a greasy ponytail, the Brokeback Mountain star was in no mood - as per usual - for the media."

There's a head and shoulders pic of Heath attached to the article, complete with striped scarf and the caption, "Rumpled: Heath Ledger."

Heath talking about his role as the Joker, in English, although the video is mostly in French. Heath comes on at about the 2 minute  mark.

http://www.allocine.fr/video/laminute/default_gen_cmedia=18746255.html

If you don't feel like watching the video (although if you don't feel like watching it, I have to ask, what are you doing on the Heath, Heath, Heath thread anyway?), here is what he says:

In a videotaped interview with Allocine.fr, Ledger said, "The Joker, so far, is definitely the most fun I've had with any character. He's just out of control. He has no empathy. He's a sociopath, psychotic, mass-murdering clown. And I'm just thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it. It's exceeded any expectations I've had in terms of what the experience would be like. So it will be interesting."

Heath's first big break
Peta Hellard
March 04, 2006 10:00pm
THIS is Heath Ledger as you have never seen him before - when he was 15, having just secured his first big acting break.

The photo of the floppy-haired kid from Applecross is one of several items in his original Perth casting file, which The Sunday Times unearthed on the eve of his Oscar appearance tomorrow night.

It is a fascinating insight to the teen with the megawatt smile who has risen to be Australia's biggest male star.

The file charts the long road from Guildford Grammar schoolboy to red-carpet strolling, self-assured Tinseltown powerbroker over 11 years.

It has a clipping from The Sunday Times of July 1997, in which an 18-year-old Ledger gives one of his first interviews on the eve of his departure to Hollywood.

The prophetic story billed him as "Australia's new Mel Gibson'' and reported that he was "on the threshold of a career which could take him to the top of the entertainment tree''.

Ledger, who has become increasingly media-shy as his international profile has sky-rocketed, was candid. He discussed his love for his mum's cooking, a passion for the West Coast Eagles, his ambitions and his romantic side.
 
"I'm really a softy and I fall in love easily,'' he said. "I've always been excited about my future and I've always tried to build my own destiny. I'm striving. I want to be respected.''

The 26-year-old has certainly achieved his goal. His tender portrayal of gay cowboy Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain has earned him critical acclaim and a slew of award nominations, including tomorrow night's best actor Oscar.

Ledger is in good company, going up against Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote , Terrence Howard for Hustle & Flow , Joaquin Phoenix for Walk the Line and David Strathairn for Good Night, and Good Luck .

Ledger, a former state junior hockey champion, turned his career around after stints in Home & Away , teen movie 10 Things I Hate About You and a series of big screen flops. He also rose above the major setback of losing the lead in the critically acclaimed box-office smash Moulin Rouge to Ewan McGregor after auditioning six times.

Top WA casting director Annie Murtagh-Monks, who discovered Ledger as a 15-year-old in a school production of Hamlet , said his talent and drive was obvious from day one.

"After he went to Hollywood, Heath said he didn't want to do television programs like Dawson's Creek despite the fact that they were offering him a $2 million contract. He wanted to hold out for great films,'' she said.

"He told me that at one stage when he was trying to get work in Los Angeles, he got down to his last $150 and he used to go to industry functions so he could eat madly and fill his belly.''

Brokeback Mountain is not the first time Ledger has portrayed a gay character. In 1996, he played Olympic hopeful cyclist Snowy Bowles in WA teen series Sweat .

Series creator John Rapsey said: "He had a real maturity in carrying off that role with such aplomb. Not too many 16-year-old boys could do it. There was a real luminescence when Heath screen tested.''

Ledger's mother, Sally, said he had always "lived every part he takes on'' -- from his first role as Peter Pan in Year 7 at Guildford Grammar School. "He always gives his best,'' she said.

His sister, Kate, said she and the rest of the Ledger clan would be on the edge of their seats as they watched tomorrow's telecast. "We are really excited for him,'' she said.

Ledger will attend the ceremony with his partner, Michelle Williams, who is the mother of their baby daughter, Matilda.

I am sure he didn't actually pay to rent it! LOL...good publicity for the company.

An Oscar Best Actor nominee for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, HEATH LEDGER opted for London bespoke and chose a luxurious single-buttoned tuxedo with matte silk peak lapels from Dunhill. The British house began working with Ledger in February for his March red carpet walk. Dunhill's Martin Nicholls presented several ideas to Ledger, who ultimately chose this waist coat style, accessorized with bow tie and lapel pin.

I've opted to not be embarrassed by Heath's sartoriality-I didn't dress him. He's all growed up paying good money for agents and (be)spokespersons and if they all agree he can be a clown, who am I to complain? He looks relaxed and open and that's enough for me.

My pennies on the whole clothing thing (and I have a healthy respect for "appropriate" dress). When I was in college, I made the 2 hour drive home for Christmas, which was to be at the home of one of my aunts. On the drive I had an unfortunate visit from mother nature which compromised my holiday outfit. I had to change into the only clothes I had-sweat pants and a tee. My mother forbade me attending Christmas dinner because of my attire. Apparently the meaning of the gathering was lost in her embarrassment over my attire. Just to say, don't give clothing more importance than it deserves.

This seems like a second time Michael Caine is quoted about Heath:

Jack Nicholson was the greatest Joker so, you know, how do you top that? Well, Heath Ledger's done it and he's extraordinary.

He's gone in a completely different direction to Jack. Jack was like a clown figure, benign but wicked, maybe a killer old uncle. He could be funny and make you laugh.

Heath is like a really scary psychopath. I did one scene with him and he was ready to go and had to come up in a lift and raid our place.

I didn't see him for rehearsal and when he came out of the lift he was so incredible I forgot my lines. He frightened the life out of me.

I'd never met him before. He's a lovely guy and his Joker is going to be a hell of a revelation in this picture."

From the New York Post:

September 25, 2007 -- SORRY, Helena Christensen, but it looks like Heath Ledger isn't ready to commit. After breaking up with baby mama Michelle Williams, Ledger was spotted locking lips with the Danish pastry. Our spies, however, spotted him leaving the Beatrice Inn in the West Village early Sunday morning, looking for a fresh catch. "He wasn't drinking, but he was there with his friend," we're told. "The friend chased two girls as they were leaving and gave them Heath's address. He told them to meet at Heath's new apartment in SoHo." Ledger's rep did not return calls.

Brooklyn’s Fragile Ego-System

By ALEX WILLIAMS
Published: September 30, 2007
IT wasn’t supposed to matter to Brooklyn. Heath Ledger, the crown prince of the borough’s celebrity aristocracy, apparently fled his fiefdom in Boerum Hill for Manhattan after splitting up with his girlfriend, the actress Michelle Williams.

“To each his own,” said Jay Wilkinson, 29, an actor who lives in the neighborhood, speaking just blocks from the house on Dean Street where Mr. Ledger had lived since 2005 with Ms. Williams and their daughter, Matilda. He echoed a theme expressed by many on blogs and in the streets after the breakup. We barely notice the stars among us. If we lose one, no big deal.

In that, though, lies a tale of arriviste anxiety. What if Brooklyn’s recent cachet as the locus for what’s next is little more than a thin and fragile crust of chic, hiding the insecurity of people who constantly measure the social currency of their ZIP code by Manhattan standards?

The number of trendy boutiques, bistros and music clubs in Brooklyn may have spiked in the last five years, but its infrastructure of cool still represents only a fraction of that found in Manhattan. Its new identity is moored to a finite number of shops, restaurants, luxury condominiums and, yes, celebrities. If even one leaves, a void is created. Could the borough’s new status vanish as quickly as it ascended?

In recent years, Brooklyn’s pool of second-tier celebrity mascots (John Turturro, Rosie Perez, Norman Mailer, Steve Buscemi) has swollen and taken on a level of movie-star glamour, thanks to recent home buyers like Jennifer Connelly and her husband, Paul Bettany, Adrian Grenier and Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard.

These famous names, functioning as both symbols and selling points for the new Brooklyn, helped drive up property values, provided a focus for gossip in coffeehouses and dog runs, and instilled pride among the tide of newcomers who arrived — sort of by choice — from Manhattan and beyond.

“The dark secret of Brooklyn is that many of the people who are going there are going there because they can’t afford Manhattan,” said Douglas Rushkoff, a writer and former Park Slope resident. “There is a tension between people who are in Brooklyn for Brooklyn’s sake, for the diversity and the quality of life, and people who are pushed to Brooklyn unwillingly.”

The latter, he said, “use a single restaurant, or a celebrity-and-a-half, as their justification as to why it’s O.K. If one moves out, it’s a big deal.”

THE journalist and novelist Kurt Andersen, who lives nearby, said that the thousands of trend-conscious types who moved to Brooklyn in recent years have cultivated an extra layer of snobbery, maintaining not just the old New York indifference toward stars in their midst, but overlaying it with indie earnestness.

“There’s an alterna-Brooklyn, ‘We’re cool cats’ attitude that probably reinforces that obligatory nonchalance,” he said. “There’s a part of me that thinks, in my smug, self-flattering way, that Heath Ledger must be a really cool guy if he lives here with me.”

But, he added, “if you happen to be eating on Smith Street and Heath Ledger walks in, who doesn’t glance?” For years, Boerum Hill was a charming, if lightly trafficked, stretch of brownstone-lined streets (and housing projects) tucked between Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope. Even many Manhattanites had never heard of it before 2005.

But post-Ledger, Boerum Hill was suddenly worthy of international mention. “Over the past year, the ‘Brokeback Mountain’ stars have become a familiar sight in Boerum Hill,” The Daily Telegraph of Sydney, Australia, wrote in February 2006. “Locals say they often see Ledger on his skateboard or walking to local cafes with Williams and their baby daughter Matilda.”

They became “Mr. and Mrs. Brooklyn,” said Dana Atherton, 26, a clerk at the Brooklyn Industries store on Smith Street, itself an emblem of the borough’s new identity.

As residents began to use cute, Manhattan-ish real estate acronyms like BoCoCa (referring to greater Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens) and, more playfully, NoGo (north Gowanus), Lucky jeans opened a shop on Smith Street, just down from American Apparel. “We always had old-timers and trendy couples,” said Lucinda Rosenfeld, a novelist who lives in Boerum Hill. “But the cute young girls on vintage Schwinns are definitely a new development.”

Celebrities contribute more than just luster to a neighborhood, said Roslyn Huebener, a founder of the Brooklyn real estate agency Aguayo & Huebener. Brokers, she said, routinely name-drop when taking skeptical clients on tours of economically emerging neighborhoods.

“It’s very reassuring,” she said. “Let’s say you’re going out to buy a condo or house, you think, ‘Oh my God, should I be paying that kind of money?’ But when you know these people are there, it validates that the value is going to continue.”

No wonder, then, that some residents sound a bit defensive over the implication that their neighborhood’s identity might be tenuously tied to a couple of movie stars.

“I don’t think it’s that big a deal,” said Mark Kincaid, a manager of Flight 001, a hip travel-oriented boutique in Boerum Hill, referring to Mr. Ledger's departure. He added, “a lot of people live in the neighborhood — people in the fashion industry, actors, editors. We just had Jonathan Hyde from ‘King Lear’ in yesterday.”

Other residents mentioned the presence of actors like Hope Davis, Emily Mortimer and her husband, Alessandro Nivola, as a hedge against any image depreciation.

But after gossip blogs speculated whether the neighborhood was over and ran photographs of a moving van — from Celebrity Moving, no less — parked by the couple’s wasabi-green house on Dean Street, some acknowledged that the locals would have to find a new sport in lieu of Heath-spotting.

“It’s like being in Kruger National Park,” Mr. Andersen said, referring to the South African game preserve, “and knowing there are only seven black rhinos.

“If you’ve seen one,” he said, “you’ve seen it.”

Wow, Clarissa. I'm totally with you in dubbing this Superficial. With a capital S. But thanks for posting it!  :)

If people in Brooklyn manage to build so much shallow ego around the relative fame and cool of their street and neighbourhood, and their anxiety levels spike to high heaven once one little thing changes that makes other shallow people think their place of living not-so-cool-anymore.... All I can say is, they're incredibly, unbelievably fortunate to have nothing else to worry about in their lives. But I bet it's the article writer who is this shallow, rather than most Brooklyn residents. At least I hope so.

The article, such as it is, also puts the lie to the frequently-before expressed view that in Brooklyn Heath and Michelle could live in peace and go relatively unnoticed about their day. Here it seems everyone's been on the highest alert to spot them and to brag about it afterwards.  ::) Somehow I find that hard to believe.

I bet there's some truth, though, in the implication that there are two levels of acknowledging celebrities. The neighbors ACT cool -- they aren't going to jump up and down, or run over in restaurants to bug them -- but they aren't quite as oblivious as they like to pretend. I think there are very few people these days who don't get at least kind of excited about spotting celebrities. I know if I saw Heath walking down the street I would be paying more attention than I would to some other random pedestrian. And I'd sure tell people about it afterward.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Mikaela on September 30, 2007, 04:15:14 pm
I'm not at all disagreeing. I'm merely saying there's a difference between being on the high alert and scouting them out specifically (which I felt the article implied) - and noticing them if you happen to run into some kind of famous celebrity by chance. Which of course would grab your attention if you're not really out of it. Why, I know some people who happened to dine at the table right next to Tom Cruise and Kathy Holmes earlier this year - totally unexpected as my friends were on vacation, not rushing around trying to spot celebrities at all. But you bet I've heard about it more than once afterwards.   ;)

I suppose that the novelty must surely pale upon repeat though. The closest neighbours to Heath and Michelle I suppose would soon enough comment more on Heath's sartorial choice of the day, than on having once more seen "the movie star" specifically.

Another little reference to how bereft Brooklyn is...

Is Brooklyn Vegetarian Restaurant Week in the Weeds?
 Meat-adverse gourmands take note: October isn’t just Family Sexuality Education Month, Healthier Babies Month and Dental Hygiene Month, it’s also National Vegetarian Awareness Month! Yesterday, in fact, was World Vegetarian Day, which came hot on the heels of September 28th’s Hug a Vegetarian Day. (Photos!) Feeling aware yet?

Brooklyn vegetarians still aching from the sting of Heath Ledger’s departure can try to fill the void at the first annual Brooklyn Vegetarian Restaurant Week, which seems like a savory idea in the making.

And this is confusing:

"Let’s start on hair, guys. Now, you may think it is acceptable to go to class with the back and top of your head in a peacock plume. Read carefully what follows the upcoming dash — No. Not acceptable. Now this is not to say you must wake up every morning and look like Heath Ledger, but taking the extra minute or two to put water in your hair and maybe brush or style it wouldn’t kill you either. Unkempt hair never looks hot — ask any sorority girl you wish, frat guys. And before you say it, hats are fine but not to the extent you forget your own hair color."

Doesn't it sound like this person thinks Heath has a fabulous tonsorial style?

One of his songs is Northern Sky:

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.

Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

Oh God, I looooove Nick Drake... His songs are beautiful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake)

The album Bryter Layter I can really recommend!




Wow, thanks Mel.  I don't remember ever hearing of him, but he sounds very important to musicians important to me.  And a sad, interesting life story.  Here's the "official" Nick Drake website: http://www.brytermusic.com/  Have your sound up, I'm listening to a beautiful song called "Fruit Tree" now.  Big thanks, Mel.  And cool about Heath making a film about him, hunh?

Update: I'm listening to my third Nick Drake song now, on his website, and he's great.  Suits me to a quiet, complex, velvety, nature-driven tee.

And I just missed something significant right here in Seattle:
Nick Drake on tour in the US.

Over the years Nick's music has had a singular impact on other artists from many different disciplines. We have decided to celebrate these by exhibiting a selection - both as static displays (photography, writing, painting, collage) and as film pieces. A few were specially commissioned for the event, but most were submitted as self-generated homages.

We have called the event 'A Place To Be' and plan to tour it for as long as people want to see it, we plan to add to it as we go.

Contributions have come in from such artists as Heath Ledger, Tim Pope, Jonas Mekas, Paul Rider, The Books, Keith Morris, Julian Lloyd, Russell Mills, and the poet Nick Drake. There will be 30 pieces in all, plus screenings of the film 'A Skin Too Few'

'A Place To Be' debuts as part of the 'Bumbershoot' festival in Seattle USA on September 1st - 3rd 2007.

New Heath movie announced:

Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054606/

The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus is set in the present day, and tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a travelling show - where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. The script is written by Gilliam with Charles McKeown, who both wrote the script to The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Here's the cast, four of whom have worked in Gilliam pictures before. There's much to look forward to, including the prospect of Tom Waits as the devil incarnate. Christopher Plummer is the eponymous doc, and inventive Heath Ledger returns to work with Gilliam following his work on Brothers Grimm.

Heath in the running for a part:

http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2007/11/postscript200711
The Counterfeit Rockefeller
Postscript November 2007
In January 2001, special correspondent Bryan Burrough unearthed the extraordinary life story of a dashing young French con man named Christopher Rocancourt, who, masquerading as millionaire playboy "Christopher Rockefeller," fleeced dozens of gullible Americans from the Hamptons to Beverly Hills ("The Counterfeit Rockefeller"). The son of a prostitute and an alcoholic father who froze to death after a wintry drinking bout, Rocancourt had risen from a Normandy orphanage to the streets of Paris, to Rodeo Drive, where he rubbed elbows with the likes of Mickey Rourke and Jean Claude Van Damme. In a memorable side trip to the mansions of eastern Long Island, he succeeded in enticing any number of people to "invest" with him. Needless to say, no one ever saw their money again.
Facing criminal charges in New York, Rocancourt fled to British Columbia, where he was arrested in April 2001. From jail he gave interviews to outlets as varied as 60 Minutes and The New Yorker and became a celebrity in his native France. Before his extradition to the U.S., in 2003, he wrote a book, I, Christopher Rocancourt: Orphan, Playboy, Prisoner, that became a French best-seller. Rocancourt pleaded guilty to fraud charges and served part of a four-year sentence in the federal prison at Allenwood, Pennsylvania, before being placed on a plane back to France in early 2006.
In Paris, Rocancourt received the full star treatment, waving to paparazzi at the airport, selling interviews to the French media, even striking a deal to place his name on a clothing line. His celebrity has proved surprisingly enduring; the French, more than one commentator notes, never tire of hearing a countryman's stories of outwitting rich Americans. Rocancourt's second memoir, My Lives, topped the French best-seller list last year; a third book followed. Today he lives in Paris with a former Miss France and their infant daughter. He has a Web site, christopherocancourt.net, and a press agent. A movie of his life is now in the works, with Edward Norton and Heath Ledger rumored to be in the running to play Rocancourt.

Wow Clarissa, that Charlie Rose clip sure brings back memories!

I found the link for that somewhere on the net right after I'd seen the film (1 and a half years ago!) and it was my first "meeting" with Heath as himself talking about Ennis at length (ie. other than in 2-second type mini-clips). I couldn't believe my eyes - that this extremely fidgety and nervous guy, seemingly so uncomfortable in the spotlight, had created and breathed magnificent life into restrained, careful Ennis....!!! My admiration for him as an actor was very high, but at that point it rocketed completely into orbit and has stayed there since!

WILLIAMS LOOKING TO MOVE TO PORTLAND?

Movie & Entertainment News provided by World Entertainment News Network (www.wenn.com)
2007-10-16 23:26:43 -

Actress MICHELLE WILLIAMS is keen to make a clean break after splitting up with boyfriend HEATH LEDGER - she's looking to move to Portland, Oregon.
Friends claim there are too many bad memories for her in New York, where she shared a love-nest with her Brokeback Mountain co-star, and she fell for Oregon during a recent break there.
A source tells In Touch Weekly magazine, "The split with Heath was pretty devastating, and Michelle wants to start over." Williams and her two-year-old daughter by Ledger, Matilda, recently spent time with friends in Portland, and now she's reportedly looking to create a base there.
The insider adds, "She's able to relax and unwind when she is here."

From New York Magazine:

Fellini or NYU?: Optimism-inspiring Heath Ledger quote from Premiere's on-set profile of I'm Not There: "The crew are working 20-hour days, and they don't complain, and afterward they all meet up in the camera truck for an extra hour to drink beer and watch the dailies, because they're so blown away with what he's doing. They're saying, 'Fellini's been resurrected.'" Pessimism-inspiring Heath Ledger quote: "It's feeling like the world's most expensive student film, in the most beautiful possible way." [Premiere]

I'd be carrying my kid too if there were paparazzi and unpredictable fans around.  I actually love that they carry her so much.  I try to carry Miranda some every day, knowing it's going to be harder soon, AND that she won't want it anymore.

One thing I keep thinking is that (no kidding) Matilda is going to be as big as Michelle in not too many years, then who will carry whom?

I dug this little tidbit up on one of those superhero blogs...

Warner Bros. is giving a really nice gift for the 2007 Holidays. With the release of Will Smith's I Am Legend at IMAX theaters, they will be showing a 7-minute 'prologue' for The Dark Knight, which will feature a heapin' helpin' of Heath Ledger's Joker. Now, the trailer will only be shown at IMAX theaters, at least for the time being, so you should make sure to line up early.

We could not be more excited for this movie in a million years. Given Batman Begins, and the fact that they're going to make The Joker truly insane, this has the capacity to be the best superhero film ever made, and we will be in line on opening day to make sure of it.

from the Boston Herald, an interview with Michael Caine. He has this to say about Heath...

The two-time Oscar winner works at a murderous pace these days. He’s got a ’60s-set diamond-heist thriller with Demi Moore due in December called “Flawless,” he begins filming a ghost drama, “Is There Anybody There?” and just finished reprising Alfred the butler in next summer’s “Batman” movie.

“I’ll tell you, the big surprise in the new ‘Batman’ is Heath Ledger as the Joker. You heard it here first,” he said. “Fantastic. He’s gone a different direction than Jack Nicholson. Inasmuch as Jack was like a really scary, nasty old uncle with a funny face, Heath is like the most murderous psychopath that you’ve ever seen on the screen.”

Caine recalled his first rehearsal with Ledger. “I hadn’t met him and it was in this building in Chicago and he had to come downstairs and up into the room where I was waiting for Batman’s guests. But he’d taken over the elevator with - he has seven dwarfs.”

And he’s definitely not Snow White.

“Yeah,” Caine continued, “and oh, just wait until you see them. I’d never seen any of it and the elevator door opened and they came out and I forgot every bloody line. He frightened the bloody lines out of me! It was incredible.”

"Dark Horizons reports that a seven-minute sequence from "The Dark Knight," Chris Nolan's sequel to "Batman Begins," is set to play in IMAX theaters this December. "General thought is that it will be the bank heist sequence," the site says, which is "one of four sequences in the film that have been filmed in the IMAX format." Adds the report, "The sequence itself shows essentially how The Joker [Heath Ledger] got his signature look.""

Debbie I just watched Candy for the first time last weekend and have seen it 3 times since. It wasn't as hard to watch as I feared though I did have a bit of the blues the next day. I think Heath did a good job-he perfectly portrayed the weakness of Dan in his addictions. I the film as more about addiction in general with love and heroin as the most prominent-Candy and Dan's addictions to both each other and the drug, Casper's addiction to boys, drugs and Dan.

I just saw Rendition so I better pop over to JJJ for that discussion

notBasket,

I saw Candy twice and it was a bit depressing. It was graphic and it depicted the real and sad lives of those addicted to drugs. Heath was good in it and it was nice hearing him speak in his native tongue. His voice is so sexy. The other characters were good as well. I hope you are able to watch it. And remember it is only a movie, but with a depressing theme.

If you do decide to watch it, let me know what you think about it.

Just read this at Hollywood Reporter, a possible future project of Heath:

Ledger, Penn take part in Malick's 'Life'
By Gregg Goldstein

Heath Ledger and Sean Penn are in talks to star in "Tree of Life," with River Road Entertainment finally bringing writer-director Terrence Malick's long-gestating drama to life.

Ledger would take the lead opposite an actress to be determined, with Penn in a supporting role.

Malick also is in talks, with principal photography set to begin in March.

River Road founder Bill Pohlad will produce with Sarah Green, Malick's producer on his last feature "The New World."

The film's plot has been closely guarded, but is described by an insider as a complex drama.
 

"New World" lead Colin Farrell was in talks to star in the feature two years ago, with about a third of the shoot set for India, but the star and location are no longer part of the project.

If anyone has the muscle to bring "Life" to the screen, it's River Road.

The company produced Focus Features' highest-grossing film "Brokeback Mountain" starring Ledger, and Penn's recent directorial effort for Paramount Vantage, "Into the Wild."

Other projects the outfit has partly or totally produced and financed include Focus' "Lust, Caution" and the recent Roadside Attractions pickup "Chicago 10."

Penn has been a longtime Malick supporter and friend, starring in his war drama "The Thin Red Line." Ledger appears in "I'm Not There" and next summer's Batman feature "The Dark Night."

Ledger, Penn and Malick are repped by CAA.

I can't help grinning every time I see another pic of Matilda with bare feet. I bet she has a considerable will of her own and a temper to match - and that she's not at all fond of shoes. And that mummy and daddy many a time just have to accept that if they want to get anything done that day.  ;D

It reminds me a lot of a certain headstrong little lady of my own personal aquaintance... :)

Slightly OT, but when my older son was Matilda's age, whenever he'd get mad about something -- if I was taking him away from somewhere he wanted to stay, for example -- he would protest by yanking off his shoes and throwing them on the floor.

Matilda looks pretty happy there, though.

There is a very good article in today's New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/movies/moviesspecial/04lyal.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&ref=moviesspecial

Quote
In Stetson or Wig, He’s Hard to Pin Down

THE neighborhood was nothing special, just another anonymous street in North London, and the corrugated-metal front door suggested the entrance to an auto-repair shop or maybe some kind of studio. But it opened into another world: a lush courtyard nestled inside a striking modern house with acres of white walls, exotic works of art and a roof garden, complete with burbling fountain.

Behind the door too was Heath Ledger, the current tenant of the house, making coffee in the glass-walled kitchen and presenting his own deceptive exterior. What you see is a strapping 28-year-old with sleepy eyes, an amused crinkly grin and out-of-control blondish hair, dressed on this particular occasion in a hooded sweatshirt and ripped jeans hanging low to reveal the waistband of a pair of light blue flannel underpants. What you get is a lot less obvious: a serious but hard-to-pin-down actor disguised as a California stoner. (He played one once, in “Lords of Dogtown.”)

Mr. Ledger has resisted typecasting since his first Hollywood film, the perfectly decent teenage-romance comedy “10 Things I Hate About You,” filled him with such foreboding about his possible future as a fluffy heartthrob that he turned down work for a year because all he was being offered were similar parts. Although he has since appeared in light, romantic-hero roles in films like “A Knight’s Tale” and “Casanova,” Mr. Ledger has also played a sensitive prison guard, a heroin addict spiraling out of control and, in a revelation of a part, a reluctantly gay cowboy in “Brokeback Mountain”: a hodgepodge of characters that are deliberately unlike one another.

“I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself,” he explained. Nor is he ever happy with his performance, exactly. “I can’t say I was proud of my work,” Mr. Ledger declared of his latest role, in “I’m Not There” (Nov. 21), Todd Haynes’s strange, audacious new film, which attempts to get to the heart of Bob Dylan by dancing around him. “I feel the same way about everything I do. The day I say, ‘It’s good’ is the day I should start doing something else.”

In a film that uses multiple actors to portray multiple aspects of Dylan, Mr. Ledger plays Dylan the media superstar, a charismatic, swaggering figure who parties with celebrities, wears look-at-me-but-leave-me-alone sunglasses and watches his personal life collapse under the pressures of his public persona. Yes, but what does the film mean?

Mr. Ledger laughed and compared “I’m Not There” to a Rubik’s Cube, insoluble by mere mortals.

“I think it’s one of those films that you have to kind of accept and invite instead of trying to challenge and solve,” he said. “Bob Dylan himself defies description, and I think Todd was aiming to represent him. He was not trying to sum him up or define him.”

In a telephone interview from Berlin, where he was promoting “I’m Not There,” Mr. Haynes said that Mr. Ledger’s character was inspired by “photographs of Dylan taken in the mid-’60s when he was hanging out in New York locations with dark-rimmed eyeglasses and shooting pool or reading the newspapers in the classic Godardian striped crew-necked shirt.”

James Dean too. “Dylan was completely inspired by James Dean, and Heath has a little bit of James Dean in him, even physically, a kind of precocious seriousness,” Mr. Haynes went on. “As adult actors seem more and more infantile and refusing to grow up, middle-aged guys with their baseball caps, Heath is one of those young people who have a real intuition, a maturity beyond their years.”

Making the role all the more complicated was that Mr. Ledger’s character is meant, in a way, to be a Dylan twice removed. In the movie Mr. Ledger is not playing Dylan per se, but an actor famous, in the fictional world of “I’m Not There,” for portraying Dylan in his early years as a singer-songwriter of protest music.

But because Christian Bale, the actor who plays this early Dylan in the film, was scheduled to film his scenes after Mr. Ledger, Mr. Ledger said he was faced with “playing an actor portraying Christian portraying a Dylanesque character, and not being sure what Christian was going to do.” Or, to put it another way, “Who was I playing when I was acting?”

It all tied him in knots. “I stressed out a little too much,” Mr. Ledger said.

He tends to do that. He is here in London filming the latest episode of the “Batman” franchise, “The Dark Knight.” (Mr. Bale, as it happens, plays Batman; Mr. Ledger plays the Joker.) It is a physically and mentally draining role — his Joker is a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” he said cheerfully — and, as often happens when he throws himself into a part, he is not sleeping much.

“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” One night he took an Ambien, which failed to work. He took a second one and fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing.

Even as he spoke, Mr. Ledger was hard-pressed to keep still. He got up and poured more coffee. He stepped outside into the courtyard and smoked a cigarette. He shook his hair out from under its hood, put a rubber band around it, took out the rubber band, put on a hat, took off the hat, put the hood back up. He went outside and had another cigarette. Polite and charming, he nonetheless gave off the sense that the last thing he wanted to do was delve deep into himself for public consumption. “It can be a little distressing to have to overintellectualize yourself,” is how he put it, a little apologetically.

Conducting a tour of the house, which he is renting for a few months, he made wry remarks about the art. One painting depicts a crowd of creatures who appear to be in hell, but who seem determined to extract as much sexual pleasure as they can from their eternity of free time; Mr. Ledger has turned another one around and hung it upside down, to no apparent ill advantage.

An open bag with clothes spilling out lay on the floor of the master bedroom. “I’m kind of addicted to moving,” Mr. Ledger said, perhaps on account of having had to shuttle back and forth after his parents’ divorce, when he was 11. He carries his interests around with him, and his kitchen table was awash in objects: a chess set, assorted books, various empty glasses, items of clothing. Here too was his Joker diary, which he began compiling four months before filming began. It is filled with images and thoughts helpful to the Joker back story, like a list of things the Joker would find funny. (AIDS is one of them.) Mr. Ledger seemed almost embarrassed that the book had been spotted, as if he had been caught trying to get extra credit in school.

“He’s very disciplined and takes it very seriously,” said Marc Forster, who directed Mr. Ledger in “Monster’s Ball,” in which he played a troubled prison guard. Mr. Ledger came to the part at the last minute, but caught on quickly. “Heath at the time was something like 22, and I thought: ‘He’s incredible. He’s so smart and so intuitive and so observant, and he really understood the part and the character.’”

Also on the table is a winsome photograph of Mr. Ledger’s daughter, Matilda, now a toddler. (Mr. Ledger met Matilda’s mother, the actress Michelle Williams, while filming “Brokeback Mountain” and fell into a very public whirlwind romance and then into loved-up domestication in Brooklyn; they both appear together in “I’m Not There” but have recently separated. He is leery of talking about their relationship, but heaps spontaneous praise on Ms. Williams’s performance.)

Mr. Ledger now lives in Manhattan, and, when he’s home, likes to play chess with the chess sharks who hang out in Washington Square Park; sometimes he beats them. But mostly he likes to hang out with Matilda— “it’s kind of like your whole body has a lump in its throat,” he said, of having to be away — and goes back as often as he can to see her.

Mr. Ledger was born in Perth, Australia, a place so far away, he said, that “sometimes when you’re there, it feels like the earth really is flat, and you’re sitting right on the edge.” He acted in some Australian soap operas before moving to Hollywood in pursuit of a girlfriend. (The relationship did not last.) He was cast in “10 Things” opposite Julia Stiles, starred in a brief-lived television series and began appearing in movies like “A Knight’s Tale,” playing a swashbuckling medieval lover-jouster.

“I was more concerned with having a good time than with focusing on work,” he said.

But suddenly he realized that he cared. “I started to look at the work and think, ‘Oh, God, maybe I should be taking this seriously, because people are going to see this,’” he said. “All I saw were mistakes — a lack of care, lack of attention to detail.”

Among other things, he began working with Gerry Grennell, his dialect coach, who has seen him through a dizzying spectrum of dialects and intonations. (“It’s rare that there’s a role that requires an Australian accent,” Mr. Ledger said.) Among his next projects are a film directed by Terry Gilliam, and another by Terrence Malick. Mr. Ledger is learning to play the piano and to sing. He also directs music videos, has a small independent record label called Masses Music in Los Angeles and is planning to direct a film at the end of next year.

One of the things that struck him most about the Dylan who emerges in “I’m Not There,” he said, was Dylan’s continual effort to resist easy categorization and his willingness to “recreate himself and not conform to people’s ambitions to put him in a box.”

That is how Mr. Ledger feels too, and he likes to keep an element of surprise, for the world at large and for himself.

“Some people find their shtick,” he said. “I’ve never figured out who ‘Heath Ledger’ is on film: ‘This is what you expect when you hire me, and it will be recognizable.’”

He continued: “People always feel compelled to sum you up, to presume that they have you and can describe you. That’s fine. But there are many stories inside of me and a lot I want to achieve outside of one flat note.”

I've noticed in some of his interviews, it takes him awhile to answer. Now I think maybe he's weighing his words, which is a good and mature thing to do. Public speaking doesn't come naturally to everyone. Many, many public people have gotten into controversy over saying the wrong thing.  It's to anyone's benefit to think before speaking, and Heath seems to know that.

Ledger, Michelle reunite for daughter's birthday
IANS | Monday, 05 November , 2007, 09:35
Australian actor Heath Ledger and his ex-girlfriend Michelle Williams got back together to celebrate their daughter Matilda's second birthday.
"Heath and Michelle got along very well. There's no bad feelings and everyone had fun," pagesix.com quoted a source close to them as saying.

They couple met on the set of "Brokeback Mountain" and after a three-year-relationship split in September.

Also present at the party was actress Emily Mortimer and a huge bunch of children.

"They were given 'roses with their names on them. It was very sweet instead of candy or gift bags," the source said.

I also heard that Heath IS in Hong Kong.   It was posted on another forum from a Hong Kong newspaper

I don't think so, BOF reported that Heath has completed his filming for TDK already.

In an article on the current writers' strike:

"The strike could affect what might be the most interesting Texas film shoot in 2008. Insiders say Austin resident Terrence Malick quietly has been casting for a shoot there in March. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is Mr. Malick's long-awaited Trees of Life, with Heath Ledger and Sean Penn in talks to star. Mr. Penn starred in Mr. Malick's The Thin Red Line, and the new film's production company, River Road Entertainment, made Brokeback Mountain, starring Mr. Ledger."

hm... it might be interesting, but I would hedge my bets on a picture by Malick - he produced the horribly forgettable "The New World" recently - the most beautifully photographed train wreck of a film I have seen in recent years.  So tedious that my friend Jane and I ended up fast-forwarding through the last 20 minutes because it was so damned long, and so DAMNED boring!

I haven't seen that one but I just re-watched Malick's "Days of Heaven" (from 1978). Also gorgeously photographed but also a really great movie. However....it is only 94 minutes long. An economy of movie making which Malick seems to have forgotten how to do.

I loved "Days of Heaven." As for "The New World," I have heard everything from Louise's condemnation to outright adoration. I suppose I should just see it myself ... though admittedly Louise's review does not make me want to run to Blockbuster's this minute.

I agree completely, Janice. Watching it two weeks ago (after a hiatus of several years) it still seemed like a brand new movie. It could have been made yesterday. Maybe it was better that it wasn't made yesterday since it didn't have any CGI locusts!

I just found this:

IESB Exclusive: Heath Ledger Talks the Joker!   
          
Written by Silas Lesnick 
Saturday, 10 November 2007
IESB sat down with Heath Ledger this afternoon in New York to discuss his role in the new Todd Haynes Bob Dylan biopic, I'm Not There. We'll have the full video interview up soon, but Ledger briefly discussed his upcoming role in The Dark Knight.

If I had any doubt about Ledger as Joker, it vanished as soon as I saw him in person. His hair was grown out for the role and his eyes darted around the room, never quite making contact with mine. At his side was a clothespin that he handled the entire interview, pinching his fingers as he spoke. It wasn't hard to believe that at any moment he would leap to his feet and kill everybody in the room.

IESB: You're going right from I'm Not There where you have to put your spin on a character set up by other actors and right into Batman where the Joker has been done by not only Jack Nicholson but Cesar Romero, etc as well as the comics. Does it compare at all?

LEDGER: I really don't know. It's like chalk and cheese. My preparation process for this and my process for the Joker are completely different. I mean, for the Joker I locked myself away in a hotel room for six weeks. I just formulated a voice and a posture and found a real psychology behind the Joker. I really put a lot of work into it. And the experience also on a production scale, by the way, is obviously a completely different shoot. Batman is just such a machine. It's huge and I've never worked on anything that big. And the movie is going to be surprisingly good! It's far exceeded my expectations.

IESB: Were there any specific comics you based your version off of?

LEDGER: Well, The Killing Joke is the one that's being passed around and Arkham Asylum kind of. But I really tried to read the comics and put it down. You know, I was a big fan of Jack Nicholson - still am - his portrayal of the Joker was perfect for Tim Burton's world and if Tim Burton had come to me and he was doing the sequel and he asked me to play the Joker in his movie, I wouldn't do it. I couldn't. Because you couldn't touch what Jack Nicholson did. It would be a crime. When Chris came to me, I'd already seen Batman Begins and I really liked it. Because I'd already seen it, I already knew the world, which he had created. I instantly knew of an angle. I instantly knew a way into this character. A way to create a character to fit into this world and so it was fairly immediate. I've got straight away the fact that we're both on the same page in terms of where we want it to be. But I guess we have to wait and see. I haven't seen any of it yet.
Stay tuned to the IESB as we post our complete exclusive interview with Heath Ledger in the upcoming week.

Heath Ledger Says His Joker Has ‘Zero Empathy’
Published by Josh Horowitz on Saturday, November 10, 2007 at 4:32 pm.
Even as filming continues on “The Dark Knight,” Heath Ledger is reflecting on the character he has finished portraying. “It’s the most fun I’ve had with a character and probably will ever have,” Ledger told me today with a mix of wistfulness and relief. Relief because as the Oscar nominee said, “It was an exhausting process. At the end of the day I couldn’t move. I couldn’t talk. I was absolutely wrecked.”

So who is The Joker we’ll meet next summer? “He has zero empathy,” Ledger said, adding that one of the goals for this character was to scare the crap out of audiences next year. Asked about the inspiration for the performance and Ledger cited nothing less than classic Kubrick. “‘A Clockwork Orange’ was a very early starting point for Christian [Bale] and I. But we kind of flew far away from that pretty quickly and into another world altogether.”

When I brought up Sid Vicious as another reported influence on the character, he confirmed the punk rocker was on his mind. “Yeah, I guess so,” attested Ledger. “There’s a bit of everything in him. There’s nothing that consistent.”

Ledger quickly added with a smile, “There are a few more surprises to him.”

From an article on I'm Not There:

"The philandering, mid-Seventies' Dylan, played by Heath Ledger, and re-christened Robbie, is perhaps the most enigmatic, and the most intriguing, presence in the film. This is the Dylan who wrote 'Blood on the Tracks', and the plaintive broken-hearted ballad 'Sara', perhaps the most naked cri de couer he ever wrote."

I originally didn't post anything about this here, because it's negative, and not really about Heath.  But I feel like Heath is indirectly addressing it in one of his interviews above, in the positive things he says about Nicholson's Joker, so here goes.  It's an interview Jack Nicholson gave recently:

MTV: What do you think of another actor, Heath Ledger, playing the Joker in next summer's "The Dark Knight"?

Nicholson: Let me be the way I'm not in interviews. I'm furious. I'm furious. [He laughs.] They never asked me about a sequel with the Joker. I know how to do that! Nobody ever asked me.

MTV: It was never brought up?

Nicholson: No. It's like, in any area, you can't believe the reasons things do or don't happen. Not asking me how to do the sequel is that kind of thing. Maybe it's not a mistake. Maybe it was the right thing, but to be candid, I'm furious.

MTV: I'm surprised to hear you sounding competitive about a role like that.

Nicholson: Well, the Joker comes from my childhood. That's how I got involved with it in the first place. It's a part I always thought I should play.

MTV: Will you see the new film?

Nicholson: I'm not inclined to watch it because of what I said. But if it's a good movie, I'll catch up with it somewhere. I don't think they ever really captured Tim Burton's spirit [since he stopped being involved]. They kind of drove the franchise into the ground. Tim Burton's a genius. He had the right take on it. That's why I did the movie. I did the movie based on a single conversation with him. We both come from the cartoon world originally. We had similar ideas. Tim said [the Joker] should have a humorous dark side to him. [Burton is] one of the great moviemakers. I think the world of him. He's the most unassuming man. And he doesn't feel pressure. That's what I love about him. Once he's in there, he's smiling making the movie. That's it!

A little odd:

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams Putting Their Daughter First
November 9th, 2007 by Claudia

Gotta hand it to these folks, in a celebrity world where separation and divorce and children are synonymous with the word *ugly*, Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger are trying to take the high road. They are trying to make things as easy as possible for their daughter Matilda by making her bedroom at Michelle’s in Brooklyn identical to Heath’s in Soho.

They are having them designed exactly the same so when she wakes up in Heath’s place she won’t feel displaced.”

To me they’re not only making a statement to their daughter that she has a safe place no matter where she goes, but they are also giving a pretty strong message to the world as well. This is one of those things that seems a little weird, but honestly, what celebrities do with their vast amounts of money is always weird to me. I think the important thing here is that Matilda’s needs are coming first, which is NOT common in the Kingdom of Celebrities.

I had the same thought watching the video, another tattoo?  I think he sure gives the make-up artists headaches to cover up all his tattoos.

Regarding MTV's interview with Jack Nicholson, it has caused a great debate among the Batman fans in pondering whether Jack was serious or joking.  I myself felt that, if there was only the first question, I would say he was joking, but with all the other questions and his answers, it's hard to think he was not serious. 

I really hope I'll get to see "I'm Not There", but I think I can only wait until DVD comes out.

That sounds like sour grapes, if he really thinks that way...If he is saying it with tongue in cheek,,then that may be ok..   He is too old and comic booky to fit in the Nolan series...

Post by: Ellemeno on November 11, 2007, 06:16:33 am
Here are the Heath-centric quotes from a long article in "Premiere" magazine on I'm Not There:

"It's comforting knowing how detached we are [from a literal biography], and free because of that," says Ledger, whose costume this afternoon is a green turtleneck and a corduroy suit so tan and wide-waled it looks like corrugated cardboard. "In conventional biopics, no matter how hard you try or how good the performances are, you're always defaming that person. You're always taking a little bit away from them and not giving them anything. So I think this film is attempting to honor Dylan in some way, as opposed to capture him."

[snip]

"This was the hardest location to secure," Haynes says. "We had to pull every string, use every connection. We finally got the okay after Heath posed for a photo with the museum director."

[snip]

Ledger, too, "went back and discovered a whole bunch of his music that I'd never heard," then set to work on Robbie's voice. "As an Australian, I always have to do an accent, so it's the first thing I start with," he says. "Once I have the voice, that's the line, and at the end of the line is a hook, and attached to that is the soul. Then the wardrobe and the fake beards are the icing on the cake." He sighs again. "Apart from Cate, who looked and sounded and breathed and probably smelled like Bob Dylan — I was blown away by what she did — I think the rest of us are just trying to let him bleed through subtly."

Sighs aside, Ledger is clearly jazzed by working with Haynes. "This is so refreshing. You get a sense that he's really reinventing film," Ledger says. "The crew are working 20-hour days, and they don't complain, and afterward they all meet up in the camera truck for an extra hour to drink beer and watch the dailies, because they're so blown away with what he's doing. They're saying, 'Fellini's been resurrected.' It's really sweet, everyone's trying to pour themselves into it — for free — because they believe in him. It's feeling like the world's most expensive student film, in the most beautiful possible way. I wish I could work like this every time with a director like Todd. It's amazing he's gotten away with it so far. We have a bondsman on set who's running the show, but even he lets it go 'til 3 or 4 in the morning, because he's loving it as well."

...Look at the headlines

Long queue for the joker's shoes....


Seriously, I can't believe Jack Nicholson was in earnest - I think he was pulling their leg throughout. Or otherwise he was in a foul mood for some reason and venting his general spleen that way - or he's lost it. It makes no sense that the Joker from a previous "vision" of the Batman tale should reemerge in this - it would completely break with the style and mood and JN has been around the block more than enough to know that. Even disragarding the whole age thing. Nah. I think he was just annoyed at the interviewer for some reason, and behaving like this as a consequence.

I come across this interview on the Batman forum, Heath talked about his experience with portraying Dylan and the Joker, enjoy:

Booo-hooo, no video for me. I even can't see where on the site a video should be  :(. There's only an article saying the author had the chance to talk to Heath, yada, yada, and in the end it says "Stay Tuned for the full interview in the coming days."

Memo to Jack Nicholson:  Sorry gramps, but the Joker as a fat senior citizen would not capture the spirit of the original comic books.  ::)

Although I somehow can't believe he truly meant what he said, your comment is great oilgun.  :laugh:

I think either he was joking or he's just a grumpy old man ...  ::)

True enough, Louise, but in "I'm Not There", it's intentional, and more flattering. :)

(I don't know how many takes he had for the jumping sequence, but I know from experience that the water in the Bow River is c-o-l-d.)

As I mentioned over at the social events forum, unfortunately no Heath at the Ang/James talk. :(

However, I went to a sneak preview of "I'm Not There" tonight in New York, with director Todd Haynes speaking after.  I'm not sure if it's been reported, but in the first few minutes of the film, Heath bares all.

Now I gotta go find that "I'm Not There" thread to give a review...

If you keep going to all these movies without me, I'm not going to have a reason to come to Boston to see the movies with you!  :(

Leslie, darling, I'm a slow learner, and I need to see films several times to "get it".  In fact, I went to see "Rendition" again yesterday with my friends here.  I liked it so much better the second time around.

I just found this:

IESB Exclusive: Heath Ledger Talks the Joker!   
          
LEDGER: I really don't know. It's like chalk and cheese. My preparation process for this and my process for the Joker are completely different. I mean, for the Joker I locked myself away in a hotel room for six weeks. I just formulated a voice and a posture and found a real psychology behind the Joker. I really put a lot of work into it. And the experience also on a production scale, by the way, is obviously a completely different shoot. Batman is just such a machine. It's huge and I've never worked on anything that big. And the movie is going to be surprisingly good! It's far exceeded my expectations.


First off: holy crap!

There are some celebrities where I am content to watch them on the TV/big screen, admire their work from afar, and have no real desire to ever know them personally... Then there are those like Heath, where I think it would be amazing to really know them...

I had the same thought watching the video, another tattoo?  I think he sure gives the make-up artists headaches to cover up all his tattoos.

Regarding MTV's interview with Jack Nicholson, it has caused a great debate among the Batman fans in pondering whether Jack was serious or joking.  I myself felt that, if there was only the first question, I would say he was joking, but with all the other questions and his answers, it's hard to think he was not serious. 

I really hope I'll get to see "I'm Not There", but I think I can only wait until DVD comes out.


I think I am in the same boat as you, yb. 

The Jack Nicholson interview is funny, I think.  I didn't take it as a slam against Heath or C. Nolan particularly, but sorta like sour grapes... Which is why it's funny (to me, at least).

Seriously, I can't believe Jack Nicholson was in earnest - I think he was pulling their leg throughout. Or otherwise he was in a foul mood for some reason and venting his general spleen that way - or he's lost it. It makes no sense that the Joker from a previous "vision" of the Batman tale should reemerge in this - it would completely break with the style and mood and JN has been around the block more than enough to know that. Even disragarding the whole age thing. Nah. I think he was just annoyed at the interviewer for some reason, and behaving like this as a consequence.

I'm *also* bummed because the Latinoreview interview won't play for me, either. It just sets to spinning when I hit the play button, and shows it's loading. And then nada but a spinning wheel  no matter how long I let it spin. Grmp.

I tried to play that, but did not get it. You must click which button, the left one?

Oh, re-seeing the BM movie again last night, I saw that Heath in the BM movie looked different very much so when he washes besides the river and looks up to the mountain where Jack is: he looks like  joker!

Somehow, Heath's face is so very different then: yes, like the joker?? He does not look like Ennis then!

Anyone noticed same way as I did?

That's so sweet of you. Thank you for your efforts.

Meanwhile I am able to see it. My husband was at the PC yesterday and did some "improvement" reagarding the security. Well done job. Our computer was so well-secured, you couldn'd see half of the webpages  ::).

Took me almost an hour to see the video. But no effort is too far for a Heathen  ;D. I closed one of the securitiy programs and additionally tried another browser. These two things combined finally did the trick. Now I'm able to see the vid on Mozilla, but not on IE. So Mikaela and Janice, maybe you'll have more luck if you try a different browser.

Can anyone spell c-u-t-e? *sigh*

That's definitely a new tat. But I don't know what it could be. I think BelAir had a good guess. Might be a dragon-fly.

I was able to see the video.   I know how uncomfortable he is with interviews but he seemed to do okay with this one. He is always fidgeting.    I wonder how many tattoos he is going to get? 

I think he had 5 already,  does anyone know?  I know he has the universe thing on his left upper arm,   the ivy leaf on his right hand,  Old Man River, the 3 balloons on his arm and a soaring bird. 

I can't tell what this new one is of.    From what I know he designs them himself, but I wonder where he gets them done?

I read somewhere that he has 11 tattoos, but I can't enumerate them all. He had the "Old Man River" one done at a tattoo parlor in Brooklyn and it sounded like he had been there before.

On your list, you left off the one around his wrist, and I believe he has one on his upper right arm, too.

Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Mikaela on November 12, 2007, 12:24:02 pm
I was thinking he has to be considering all the tats as visible reminders and marks of important stages and significant events in his life. The time with Michelle must surely be and always remain one such - both because they were so very much in love at one stage (as anyone could see... ) and because of Matilda. I guess he's got that kind of attitude towards the tattoos and their significance or he wouldn't keep getting new ones.


PS: I still can't see that video and I'd resigned myself to the fact.Then again, here it is, on YOUTUBE!

 


*off to watch!*  :)


ETA: Wow. That was taking fidgeting to a whole new level! And Heath looks as if he's branched out into the sponsor and marketing business, getting himself the logo of the main Norwegian Telecom Company as a tattoo: http://www.telenor.no/?ppc=ixd&gclid=CNuMhcbd148CFRoeEgod-gQp-w

Re restlessness - the first time I watched the video, I wondered about d-r-u-g-s.  But actually, I think he is just keeping himself in extremely good shape physically, probably very tuned in to keeping limber and the energy moving through.  It's probably his solution to having to sit and give interview after interview to all these little interviewers.  They can do dozens a day, one after the other.  That sounds draining and potentially extremely tedious.

He actually looked like he's doing great - grounded, calm, alive.  (Much better than just a month or so ago.)

          That is a much more flattering picture of him.  That poster is gorgeous. 
           My grandson has that as well Leslie.  Kels little brother.  It was very very hard when he was a infant or a
toddler.  Getting better now though...He spends a great deal of time playing video games, and it seems to help
his focus..I dont like the amount of time he takes doing that, but it is the only thing where he seems totally under
control of his mind,....That is a terrible thing to have to deal with, for people that have never been exposed to it.
His older brother and sister were so diametrically different...Both very calm and centered children.  Hardly ever cried,
my daughter just about went nuts at first...He has been a challenge to us all.  Most of the time he is fine now
however.  But he still has his times..

Heath Ledger Discusses Delving Into Dylan For 'I'm Not There,' Channeling Sid Vicious For 'Dark Knight'
Actor says playing the Joker 'was the most fun I've had with a character and probably will ever have.'
By Josh Horowitz

It's been nearly two years since Heath Ledger ran the awards gauntlet with his career-changing, Oscar-nominated turn in "Brokeback Mountain." Since then, save for a little-seen Australian film called "Candy," he's been busy making movies rather than promoting them.

One of those films, the Bob Dylan-inspired fever dream known as "I'm Not There," afforded Ledger the rare opportunity to portray Dylan alongside six other actors (among them, Cate Blanchett). Ledger is Robbie in the story, a riff on Dylan as an actor who is struggling to balance a career with home life. These are problems the 28-year-old has no doubt confronted himself; the actor reportedly had a recent split with actress Michelle Williams, the mother of his daughter, Matilda (Williams co-stars in "I'm Not There").

As an interview subject, Ledger is a jittery — if incredibly likeable — man. A nervous laugh always on the tip of his answers and a cigarette in one hand, he explained why he'd run if he ever saw Bob Dylan on the street, what he just has to do every single day and how "A Clockwork Orange" inspired his much-anticipated performance as the Joker.

MTV: I hear you play a lot of chess in Washington Square Park.

Heath Ledger: Yeah. I've played since I was a kid. I play at least one game a day.

MTV: That's dedication.

Ledger: Yeah, or obsession.

MTV: Smoking and chess?

Ledger: Yeah, they go hand in hand.

MTV: "I'm Not There" is quite a surreal film for the audience member to experience. How did it read on the page?

Ledger: It was a fantastic read. Obviously it was dense, as you can imagine. You immediately understand that here's this man, [director] Todd [Haynes], who's clearly crazy [laughs], super intelligent and out to really create a respectful attempt to portray Dylan. He wasn't trying to categorize him in any way. He wasn't assuming to know everything about him. And that was really refreshing. Biopics kind of annoy me sometimes. It's really hard not to defame someone when you're doing a biopic. I got the sense that Todd was really trying to preserve Dylan's mystique.

MTV: There are a few Dylans you could have portrayed in this. Was it always going to be Robbie for you?

Ledger: I had no choice, really. Michelle [Williams] was cast in the movie before I was. And I read her script. Another guy was playing Robbie, and he pulled out at the last minute. I just kind of put my hand up and said, "I'll be in Montreal. I'd love to be a part of the project." And Todd said, "OK."

MTV: Did you see this as an opportunity to really get into researching Dylan?

Ledger: It's a wonderful excuse to research this figure. I knew very little about Dylan prior to the movie. I knew the obvious songs and a little bit about his history. It was a good excuse to crack open the files, watch the documentaries, read the books and expand my catalog of his music. Therefore, my appreciation of him expanded also.

MTV: What struck you most about Dylan from the research?

Ledger: He was such a chameleon. He had this ability to avoid conforming to public demands and people's expectations. He was constantly evolving, and he let his art evolve as he evolved and grew and matured. That's something I certainly respect.

MTV: If you see Dylan on the street tomorrow are you going to ask him what he thought or are you going to run in the other direction?

Ledger: I'm going to run in the other direction for sure. [He laughs.]

MTV: Why is that?

Ledger: I don't know. There are some people that I admire greatly that I wish not to meet in my lifetime. I think he's best left in the shadows for me.

MTV: There's this little film called "The Dark Knight" you're doing ...

Ledger: Done.

MTV: Michael Caine told me recently that you'd created "one of the scariest performances" he'd ever seen. Is that part of the goal, to scare the crap out of people next summer?

Ledger: It was one of the goals, yeah. There are a few more surprises to him. I don't know what I'm allowed to say. Warner Bros. and DC [Comics], I'm sure they have hit men ready to attack this room if I say anything. They'll shoot me when I leave.

MTV: Is there anything redeeming to this character?


Ledger: Not at all. He has zero empathy. You'll just have to wait and see. It's the most fun I've had with a character and probably will ever have. The movie itself is far exceeding my expectations. I think it's going to be a really fun movie to watch.

MTV: Christian Bale has cited "A Clockwork Orange" and Sid Vicious as two inspirations for your performance.

Ledger: Yeah. "A Clockwork Orange" was a very early starting point for Christian and I. But we kind of flew far away from that pretty quickly and into another world altogether. And Sid Vicious, yeah, I guess so. There's a bit of everything in him. There's nothing that consistent. It was an exhausting process. I actually had quite a bit of time off between scenes — weeks sometimes. But it was required because whenever I was working, it exhausted me to the bone. At the end of the day, I couldn't move. I couldn't talk. I was absolutely wrecked. If I had to do that every day, I couldn't have done what I did. The schedule really permitted me to exhaust myself.

I'm looking forward to it because 1) it has Heath in it 2) it has Christian Bale in it and 3) it was directed by Christopher Nolan.

Yes, Nolan's vision is darker. I saw Batman Begins and thought it was pretty decent. Not great -- I didn't start hanging out on the Batman message board or anything. But interesting. And seeing Cillian Murphy's character as Scarecrow in that one gives me some idea of what the Joker might be like. That is, unlike the villains in previous Batman movies, he wasn't cute or funny or quirky or even amusingly colorful -- he was just creepy.

Here's a tidbit I just spotted on MSN.  Yet another example of wishful thinking on the celeb gossip front: http://entertainment.msn.com/movies/hotgossip/11-12-07_2?GT1=7701

I quite liked the MSN gossip's description: Heath's "inscrutable ragamuffin charms".  :) Think it fits!

Otherwise - *shrugs* - given Heath's past you'd think he'd have hooked up with Ms Hudson back in the Four Feathers days if there was any chemistry there (there sure wasn't any such in the film - four feathers IMO is Heath's worst film and I didn't buy the film romance for a second) - he's got a history of hooking up with his blonde lead ladies, after all.

Reading that piece of gossip it struck me what a small community the celebrity circles he moves in really is. So he's rumoured to date Kate Hudson, who's also rumoured to date Orlando Bloom, who recently according to gossip mags was out lunching with Jake Gyllenhaal and furthermore was at Kate Hudson's Halloween party together with Jake and Reese Witherspoon....


Yes, I admit it - I really should stop reading the useless ONTD gossip. But it's so relaxing! :blush:  ::)

The actress is Shannon Sossamon.

Here's a bit of trivia: she beat out Kate Hudson (the one that Heath was supposedly playing "tonsil hockey" with) for the role of Lady Jocelyn in A Knight's Tale.

Thanks, Leslie, for reminding me the name of the actress, I was too lazy to look for it.  Interesting trivia about Kate Hudson, she did end up opposite Heath in Four Feathers.

There are a lot of new photos of Heath, together with Todd Haynes, Richard Gere and the other actors from I'm Not There, attending a Special Screening of the film on 13 Nov 2007, you can find the photos on gettyimages, just search for Heath Ledger.

Kate Hudson is a sweet and likable actor but she doesn't seem to have much range.  She's best in contemporary American roles, much like her mother.  Although considering the playful anachronistic spirit of AKT she might have been quite effective in it.   I thought she was miscast in T4F and didn't feel any chemistry between her and Heath at all.

I haven't seen T4F so I can't comment on that...I did think Shannon Sossamon was perfect in AKT with her exotic dark looks. Somehow Kate Hudson just screams out "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and that other movie with the guy from My Big Fat Greek Wedding ...he was playing a minister and she went after him...(how's that for vague? LOL).

Shannon Sossamon was supposed to be "the next big thing" who seems to have tanked fast. Last thing I saw her in was that Christmas movie last year, where she had a very small part...the Christmas movie with Cameron Diaz, Jack Black, Kate Winslet and Jude Law. Remember that one?

I remember it but I didn't see it.  And I wasn't aware that she was in it.  I think I last saw her in Rules of Attraction with James Vanderbeek (sp?) a movie that was very underrated imo.  I agree that she was perfect in AKT, I didn't mean to infer that Kate would have been better ijn the part.

I liked that little movie.  Was it called The Holiday?  I didn't notice her in it.

I watched AKT all the way through one time.  I have watched this little snippet dozens of times.  I like when Shannon Sossamen does that little spider-paw movement.  I always think the dairk-haired guy watching balefully reminds me of Alma.  :)

She was....she was....Jack Black's girlfriend, maybe? The one he broke up with. I think.

The point is, she was supposed to be "the next big thing" and instead has only been getting small parts that no one remembers her in.

November 15, 2007 -- THEY both starred in the Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There," but Michelle Williams was noticeably absent from her ex Heath Ledger's side at the movie's after-party on the deck of the Bowery Hotel Tuesday night. A scruffy-looking Ledger joined an equally rough around the edges Adrian Grenier at the soiree, hosted by Cinema Society and luxe fashion brand Hogan. Model Agyness Deyn held court at the pool table while Julianne Moore, Maggie Rizer, Jason Bateman, Richard Gere, Olivia Palermo and Ang Lee mingled with guests. In order to clear the way for the slew of celebs, hotel staffers had to shuffle guests like Simon Doonan and Amy Hilfiger, who were there celebrating the Adam Moss-hosted launch of New York magazine's latest biannual fashion book, "Look," off the deck.

TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE DYLANS
(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/Ellemeno_2006/p6p.jpg)
HEATH LEDGER
At the premiere of “I’m Not There” in Chelsea.

November 15, 2007 -- SO, the screening of "I'm Not There," the new movie on the life of Bob Dylan. It's six people including Cate Blanchett playing Bob Dylan . . . listen, don't ask . . .

Richard Gere, one Dylan, explained it to me this way: "I'm sort of Dylan. It's expressionistic. The character I play is not really anything. It's mostly a feeling. The problem was, how to portray a feeling. My job was to find a way to make that specific." Yeah, sure. Now I get it.

Heath Ledger, another Dylan, explained it to me this way: "I play him with all his different attitudes. I portray the differentiation between his personal and professional life." Right, absolutely. Now it's clear.

Producer Christine Vachon explained it to me this way: "Dylan had the ability to change completely. Shed skin like a snake. So this was done differently, using the guise of the different Dylans, because we all have biopic fatigue." Hey, OK for me if it's OK for you.

The screening was at Chelsea West Cinemas, 23rd near Ninth. And to this garden spot of New York, what did they wear?

Gere, navy cashmere. Ledger, sneakers, Sumo-wrestler hair - half ponytail, half bun. Bebe Neuwirth, red pleated plaid skirt: "I bought it in Bermuda in 1984." Eva Amurri, low-cut tighttight sheath. Julianne Moore, amortizing the same St. Laurent black patent strappy 5-inch platform heels she wore at Tom Cruise's party. Model Beth Ostrosky, wall-to-wall diamonds and designers - Dolce & Gabbana here, Versace there, H. Stern everywhere. "But not the jeweler H. Stern, my fiancé, Howard Stern, who bought them." Patricia Clarkson: "I got my earrings on the street for $10, the boots were 20 bucks, but my Hogan bag cost more than the whole outfit." (Hogan sponsored the evening, so for this plug she should at least get a change purse.)

Disappearing into the theater, Heath the Handsome told me: "You're The Post. I shouldn't talk to you. You always trash me. Always say bad things about me." No, no no! Heath must've mixed me up with every other inch of my beloved newspaper. I never trashed him. Never said bad things about him. Never ever. However, there's always time . . .

Tangled up in 'I'm Not There'
Bob Dylan biopic premieres in New York
By ADDIE MORFOOT


(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/Ellemeno_2006/vIMledgerhaynes.jpg)
Heath Ledger and director Todd Haynes at the NY premiere of 'I'm Not There.'

 
Gotham hipsters mingled with Hollywood's elite at Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There" premiere on Tuesday.
At the Bowery Hotel after-party, Haynes said it wasn't that difficult to persuade thesps including Richard Gere, Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger and Julianne Moore to do the Bob Dylan biopic featuring several incarnations of the musician.

"They must all be a little bit deranged because they just went for it," Haynes joked.

Persuading Dylan to give him the music rights proved to be a bigger challenge.

"Dylan's manager (Jeff Rosen) asked me to write out a one-sheet description of the idea. So I wrote that and sent it off but I really had no expectations he would say yes. Then two months later we got a call. He had called Jeff (who also served as one of pic's producers) and said 'Do you like these guys? All right, let's give them the rights.' That was the only time I heard from him."

As Lauren Bacall chatted and Ledger smoked, pic's producer James Stern explained why he felt confident with the unconventional pic.

"I thought Todd had a way to capture Dylan's essence, which I thought was key. If he had done this like 'Ray' or 'Walk the Line' I think I would have been nervous."

A Heath-related excerpt from a Time Out Chicago interview with Todd Haynes:

Q:  You were playing songs while the cameras were rolling?
A:  Almost all through the movie. The first scene we did with Heath [Ledger] is when he’s in the airplane with the stewardesses, and we played “Simple Twist of Fate”…he would do his gestures to the music.

From Fashion Wire Daily:
Everyone Was There at the "I'm Not There" Premiere
Jenny Peters
November 14th, 2007 @ 1:01 PM - New York

The stars glittered brilliantly on a chilly Tuesday night in New York City to see director Todd Haynes' homage to Bob Dylan's life. Called "I'm Not There," it is a movie with an interesting conceit. In it, six actors – including one female, Cate Blanchett – portray the legendary singer-songwriter at various points in his iconic career. Blanchett was off in Sydney, and fellow Dylans Christian Bale and Ben Whishaw didn't make it either, but the other three who take on the role, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger and Marcus Carl Franklin, joined Haynes and the film's other famous faces at the Chelsea Cinemas for the gala event.

Heath Ledger talked about the film to the press earlier in the week, and explained that a knowledge of Dylan's life and music isn't a necessity to enjoying the flick.

"I don't think you need to be a Dylan genius in order to appreciate it as a story, a film, or the experience of it," Ledger said. "It is a film, it is a movie, and it's not a quiz. There is no Q&A afterwards, as an audience member. Quite frankly I think the less you know, the better off you are going to be. You are not going to be straining yourself, trying to digest every single line of dialogue. You just kind of strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, that kind of thing."

That's just what Julianne Moore, Bruce Greenwood, and Yolanda Moss did; they co-star in the movie and joined a throng of Haynes fans at the premiere. There was Lauren Bacall, Adrian Grenier, Glenn Close, Justin Bateman, Eva Amurri, Bebe Neuwirth, Patricia Clarkson, Richard Belzer and Bart Freundlich.

Dylan's music has had a profound impact over the years, even on 28-year-old Heath Ledger, who wasn't born when Dylan rose to superstardom in the Sixties, but who insisted that age has nothing to do with appreciating the music – or "I'm Not There" either.

"I was definitely a fan of Dylan. I think Dylan was someone who I had scheduled somewhat, in the future, down the line, to become obsessed by. I do get obsessed with people, musicians, and artists," Ledger admitted. "I think that Todd prematurely invited me into this obsession, on this film."

The film-festival favorite opens in limited release on November 21.

Do you think he ripped that lining right off of his T-shirt neck front in order to cool down too? I don't think it takes much to be too sexy for that particular piece of clothing in its current state....

Seriously, this man works hard and diligently at looking as scruffy as at all possible! The jacket is the one he's been wearing over and over and all over the place for ever (what say you Meryl, should it be named the CGJ?  ;D ) And that hair!  And all at a premiere, too.  :-X

OK, I love Heath, you know I really do. He's a law unto himself for sure.... And his acting.... and his *voice*....and those eyes! :melts:   But I just don't see why he goes out of his way to look like a crumpled unwashed ragamuffin homeless person at premieres and movie industry festivities. It's one thing to not bother with stylists and high fashion and that kind of inane stuff;-  but clean, unripped and less-scruffy simple clothes and a hairstyle to match would have looked better, would have shown simple politeness to the premiere organizers and the occasion at hand, and would still have made a statement that he isn't in on the whole empty fashion and style carousel if that is indeed what he wishes to convey.

I'll probably get strangled for saying this (because I am putting very traditional gender roles in place) but in the months he was with Michelle, he tended to look neater, tidier, and a bit more well dressed (only a bit). I don't think it was because he was trying to impress her but because she was doing things like buying shampoo, doing laundry, and putting clean clothes in his drawer.

I don't think he tries to look scruffy--I honestly don't think clothes and how they look are anywhere on his radar screen. I think he could care less about clothes. I think if you asked Heath today, "What did you wear yesterday?" he would say, in all seriousness, "I have no fucking clue."

I think we look at things from our frame of reference. For example, if I was going to a movie premiere, I'd be excited--I'd probably go out and buy something new to wear, get a haircut, etc. I think Heath could care less and probably gets a phone call from his publicist an hour before the event, reminding him to go. Heath picks up the nearest pair of dirty shorts from the pile on the floor and off he goes.

Sometimes I wish I could be like that because frankly, I think we place way too much importance on clothes and accoutrements in our society. My 2 cents.

Is this a terrible thing to say? If so, I apologize in advance. But sometimes I wonder what it's like for Michelle, feeling whatever feelings she feels about Heath, positive or negative, to gaze at her daughter and see such a perfect miniature version of him.

Probably it's not something she thinks about much. Matilda is her own person. And obviously I'm not implying it would any way affect Michelle's feelings toward her daughter. Still, it might be strange at times, hunh?

Squaring the Ledger

Front page article from the Sunday Telegraph Magazine (Sydney, Australia) 
by Honie Stevens

Sunday 18 November 2007  


"You don't grow if you're safe about the choices you make," insists Heath Ledger.

He’s talking about his latest role as one of the many faces of Bob Dylan depicted in Todd Haynes’ I’m Not There, an impressionistic docu-drama reflecting Dylan’s kaleidoscopic life.

It may not have felt like a safe choice when Ledger first read the script, but the film has since garnered rave reviews upon release in the US, taken out the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival in September and sparked several Oscar-nomination rumours, including a Best Actress nod for Cate Blanchett, who, along with Ledger, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Marcus Carl Franklin and Ben Whishaw, also plays the part of Bob Dylan in one of six distinct stages of his career.

Confused? You’re not alone.
 
“The film is a meditation inspired by Dylan’s music and his ability to re-create and re-imagine himself time and time again,” explains producer Christine Vachon.

“Obviously, it’s not a literal re-telling of Dylan’s life,” adds writer-director Haynes.

“We’re accentuating the radical changes in point of view and style and genre and identity... It’s about the hounded artist.

"It’s partly a desire to figure him out and partly a desire to protect something that will always be enigmatic. We want to know the source of his creative energies, but we don’t want to destroy it.”

The film’s title is just as mysterious.

“It refers to an out-take recorded during The Basement Tapes,” explains Ledger. “It wasn’t included on the studio album and can only be found on the CD bootleg set.”

Ledger has won praise for his portrayal of ‘Robbie,’ a moody, counter-culture actor who represents the romanticist side of Dylan, but says accolades are never his motivation.

“I have never had great expectations of my performance or of a film. I try not to think about the outcome. If you look that far ahead, it sort of taints your choices as an actor.
 
"I try as hard as I can to believe that no one is ever going to see it and that it’s not even a movie. Then you can allow yourself to bare more. Then, once a project is done, I tend to forget about it until it comes out.”

Ledger might be happy to forget some movies, but I’m Not There is the latest to underline his determination not to be perceived a ‘blond-haired bimbo’.

(http://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o126/kez4oz/Album%201/heath3.jpg)

After his start on Home and Away and his early big-screen success in 10 Things I Hate About You, The Patriot and A Knight’s Tale, Ledger was keen to move on to work that had more substance.

He eagerly accepted the part of Sonny Grotowski in Monster’s Ball and still credits the movie with including his favourite scene.

 “I enjoyed working with Billy Bob Thornton in the scene where he smacks me around in the bathroom. I enjoyed that because he really hit me, you know? I like it when people take it to that point.

"I remember it being an adrenalin rush… and, while he said he was sorry, he didn’t write a formal apology. We just laughed and joked about it.”

Monster’s Ball marked the start of a new career phase for Ledger.

“It got to a point in my career where I kind of threw everyone else’s opinions and choices out the window and made my own – and it had been a long time coming,” he explains.

“It definitely started off in another life. Early on, everything was somewhat spoon-fed to me and things were handed to me on a platter.

"I didn’t really like what was on the platter, but I didn’t feel I had a choice, so I was never really happy with the direction I was being pushed in.

"I mean, I was headed down a path where it was starting to get difficult to find good material and good people to work with. So I was like, ‘Screw this!’

“I just wanted to show what I could do and the many colours of myself. I made some bad choices, got a bit ruthless, but Terry Gilliam came around with The Brothers Grimm and gave me a shot.

"As soon as he did, everyone else was like, ‘Oh, OK, if Terry’s giving him a go, then maybe we should.’”

(http://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o126/kez4oz/Album%201/heath4.jpg)

That led to Catherine Hardwicke’s Lords of Dogtown, a fictionalised take on a group of Venice, California skateboarders; Ang Lee’s gay cowboy drama, Brokeback Mountain – on the set of which he met ex-partner Michelle Williams, mother of his two-year-old daughter, Matilda; the title role in Lasse Hallström’s Casanova; and Neil Armfield’s Candy, “a gritty little heroin love story”.

Born in Perth, Ledger and his older sister, Catherine, were named after the lead characters in Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.

Their father, Kim, and mother, Sally, were divorced when Ledger was 10 and both went on to remarry, giving Ledger two half-sisters, Ashleigh and Olivia.

Ledger attended Guildford Grammar School and, after graduation, drove 4110km to Sydney, where he began to pursue his acting dream and landed a part as a gay cyclist and Olympic hopeful in the TV series Sweat.

Other TV roles (Home and Away, Roar) and movie parts (Paws, Two Hands) followed as his career took off. Ledger remembers tall-poppy syndrome setting in around this time, and says it continues to this day.

“I’ve been cut down,” he says. “I went on Jay Leno’s show, and I was telling a story about a shark incident in Perth.

"This fellow was standing in three feet of water and a 15-foot shark came and bit him in half. As I was telling the story, I made a paddling motion with my hands. It turned into a joke.

"But, in Australia, it was perceived as me dishonouring the Australian guy who was chopped in half. No one actually saw the show, and realised it was Leno’s joke, not mine.

"But they took it as an opportunity to cut me down. It was unfortunate because I would have never made a joke like that, and the family would’ve never heard about it had the press not pumped it out.”

When asked about his future, Ledger hedges, “I’m not good at future planning. I don’t plan at all. I don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow.

I don’t have a day planner and I don’t have a diary. I completely live in the now – not in the past, not in the future.”

Ledger’s next role is as The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s follow-up Batman film, The Dark Knight, a performance that was described by co-star Michael Caine as “the scariest ever”.

“I actually hate comic-book movies,” says Ledger with a shrug. “But I thought what Nolan did with Batman Begins was actually really good – really well directed – and Christian Bale was really great in it.”

In addition, Ledger says he enjoys playing a truly evil character: “The Joker is a pure anarchist. I definitely have a different take on him.

"He’s going to be really sinister and it’s going to be less about his laugh and his pranks. I’m not really thinking about the commercial consequences.

"Maybe I should be. I can just tell you I love to dress up and to wear a mask. At this point, it’s just an exciting next step.”

Both a controversial one (former Joker Jack Nicholson has since commented that Ledger playing ‘his role’ made him “furious”) and a lucrative one at that.

But “no amount of money changes what I do between ‘action’ and ‘cut’,” Ledger says. “Before I got into the industry, I never imagined I’d have anywhere near the money I have now.

"I don’t need any more. It’s not that I don’t want the money, it’s just that I would have been really happy sitting on a beach or surfing every morning.

“I never had money, and I was very happy without it. When I die, my money’s not gonna come with me. My movies will live on – for people to judge what I was as a person. I just want to stay curious.”

Huh uh. I don't know. What is he thinking?

He's thinking he wishes he could blow on Michelle's harmonica?

He's thinking " I should have bought Gucci instead of these damned old Rayban sunglasses?"

Only thing I'm really hoping is that he'll nevertheless manage to keep his act together and plan his activities with Matilda.... as well as to keep the promises and arrangements planned with and in relation to her. Otherwise wee Matilda might be in for some disappointements.... She's such a cutie and seriously looks like her daddy's mini-me, inclusive of glasses and hat and all.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Acting's therapy for heartthrob Heath Ledger
'I get to scream and cry ... I get to purge myself,' says Aussie star. 'Once the film is over, I throw it all away'


November 18, 2007
BY CINDY PEARLMAN
Heath Ledger is one heartthrob who is all there. The 28-year-old Aussie with the sleepy eyes and mop of messy blond hair is the first one to admit that acting is therapy for him and he brings everything pent up inside of himself to the big screen.

"I'm lucky in a sense because I have a job where I get to scream and cry," he says. "I get to purge myself in ways that don't really affect me personally.

"When the director yells cut, I just walk out the door and I'm back into my regular life," he says.

Of course, nothing has been regular about Ledger's life since he came on the scene in the teen romance "10 Things I Hate About You" and then received raves years later in "Brokeback Mountain." These days he's starring for director Todd Haynes in his ambitious new film about the many lives of singer, poet and American icon Bob Dylan called "I'm Not There."

Ledger joins a stellar cast including Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere and Ben Whishaw, who each play Dylan at different parts of his life. Ledger's slice of all things Dylan comes by playing the music man during his star days when he could be found at parties with other beautiful people. On the streets this Dylan hid behind sunglasses and wanted to be left alone because he wasn't always so happy. His private life couldn't withstand the hoopla of his stardom.

"The film doesn't sum up Dylan's life or try to explain it all," Ledger says. "We're just representing aspects of his life during different periods of it."

Ledger says that he loved the idea of playing Dylan. "I found the connection obviously through his music," Ledger says. "You can't help but fall in love with his lyrics or should I say his poetry?"

To get into character, Ledger was given photos of Dylan that were from the mid '60s when the rocker spent his time in New York City hanging out and trying to avoid the press with his dark glasses that also blotted out the rest of the world. Everyone involved in the film is quick to caution that they're not exactly playing Dylan as Dylan but a vision of him or a Dylanesque sort of character.

"It was an incredible experience," Ledger says. "I consider (director) Todd Haynes to be a genius."

Ledger won't rate all the Dylans in the film, but mentions that Blanchett blew him away. "Cate has given such an incredible transformation," Ledger says. "She will really blow people away. I mean, she walks, talks, sings and smells like Bob Dylan."

Ledger will also play The Joker in the upcoming "The Dark Knight" due out in July of 2008.

"I was a fan of the comic book character," Ledger says of The Joker. "Somewhere inside of me, I kind of knew instantly that I wanted to do it. I didn't feel like I had to search for it.

"I felt like I had a plan of attack with it," he says. "That usually dictates whether I want to do something or not -- if I have an understanding of it straight away."

He says that the film "is the most fun I've ever had with a character and the most fun I probably ever will have even though at the end of the day I was absolutely wrecked." He adds that his Joker "has zero empathy" for Batman or anyone else in Gotham City. Ledger's intention from the start was to be the fierce, scary Joker. "He's really full of surprises. But I can say that I wanted him to be very sinister."

Ledger was born in Perth in Western Australia. As his story goes, he was required in school to take either acting or cooking as an elective. "I absolutely couldn't cook," Ledger insists.

Ledger made his American debut in the film "Two Hands" (1999), but became a teen heartthrob with "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999). He decided to buck that image with films including "The Patriot" (2000), "Monster's Ball" (2001) and "Ned Kelly" (2003).

He says that indie films are one of his favorites these days. "I think you're generally granted more freedom," Ledger says. "Whether or not you have a better outcome is relative to the person making the film. But I think that generally, if it's money coming from an alternate source other than a studio then you have that freedom.

"Lower budgets mean you're actually forced into using your imagination. You don't have everything at your fingertips and create it from scratch," he says.

He laments that most of the people he wants to work with aren't around anymore. "Look, most of them are dead," Ledger says. "Fellini. Cassavettes. Bob Fosse. Stanley Kubrick. I would have loved to work with them. I would love to work with many people who are around, but they're not lining up just yet. Terrence Malick is one person who comes to mind. I would love to be in one of his visual poems."

He is recently split with actress Michelle Williams and the two share parenting of their toddler daughter Matilda. Ledger says parenthood has changed his life, but not in sappy ways. "I didn't immediately get an urge to go out and be a voice in an animated film," he jokes. "But it definitely changes the person that you are. I think your personal evolution runs hand in hand with your professional evolution.

"So fatherhood has changed me as an artist because I feel things on a deeper level," he says. "I think my performances will grow simultaneously."

Ledger lives in New York City where he can often be seen pushing Matilda around in her buggy.

"I kind of save the living for the time between action and cut," Ledger says. "I'm pretty good at dropping a character once it's over for the day. Certainly once the film is over, I throw it all away. Your life is what matters."

Star Dads We Love

Dad most likely to do dinner -- and the dishes: Heath Ledger

Age: 28.

Kid: Matilda, 20 months.

Why we love him: Heath's been one of Hollywood's hotties since his 2001 appearance in A Knight's Tale, but his favorite role is daddy -- he's reportedly said he wants at least five more children with fiancee Michelle Williams, 26.

Does he have a single brother? Shortly after Matilda was born, Heath told reporters, "My duties in life are that I wake up, cook breakfast, clean the dishes, prepare lunch, clean those dishes, go to the market, get fresh produce, cook dinner, clean those dishes, and then sleep if I can. And I love it. I actually adore it."
******************************************************************************

I assume this was written before Heath's breakup with Michelle; however, regardless of that I am always glad to read what a good, down to earth guy he is. He sure doesn't sound like a typical movie star, does he? Heath, you're wonderful  ;D Now, how would everyone like to spending Thanksgiving with Heath Ledger  ;)

Another Side of Bob Dylan, and Another, and Another ...

   
By A. O. SCOTT
Published: November 21, 2007

From Andy Warhol to Lonelygirl15, modern media culture thrives on the traffic in counterfeit selves. In this world the greatest artist will also be, almost axiomatically, the biggest fraud. And looking back over the past 50 years or so, it is hard to find anyone with a greater ability to synthesize authenticity — to give his serial hoaxes and impersonations the ring of revealed and esoteric truth — than Bob Dylan.

It’s not just that Robert Zimmerman, a Jewish teenager growing up in Eisenhower-era Minnesota, borrowed a name from a Welsh poet and the singing style of an Oklahoma Dust Bowl troubadour and bluffed his way into the New York folk scene. That was chutzpah. What followed was genius — the elaboration of an enigmatic, mercurial personality that seemed entirely of its moment and at the same time connected to a lost agrarian past. From the start, Mr. Dylan has been singularly adept at channeling and recombining various strands of the American musical and literary vernacular, but he has often seemed less like an interpreter of those traditions than like their incarnation.

His persona has been as inclusive as Walt Whitman’s and as unsettlingly splintered as that of Herman Melville’s Confidence Man. Vulnerable as Mr. Dylan is to misunderstanding (“I couldn’t believe after all these years/You didn’t know me better than that” in “Idiot Wind”), he also actively solicits it (“Something is happening here/But you don’t know what it is/Do you, Mr. Jones?” in “Ballad of a Thin Man”). So it is only fitting that Todd Haynes, in “I’m Not There,” his incandescent rebus of a movie inspired by Mr. Dylan’s life and music, has chosen to multiply puzzles and paradoxes rather than solve them. Not for nothing does one of Mr. Haynes’s stories take place in a town called Riddle.

Among its many achievements, Mr. Haynes’s film hurls a Molotov cocktail through the facade of the Hollywood biopic factory, exploding the literal-minded, anti-intellectual assumptions that guide even the most admiring cinematic explorations of artists’ lives. Rather than turn out yet another dutiful, linear chronicle of childhood trauma and grown-up substance abuse, Mr. Haynes has produced a dizzying palimpsest of images and styles, in which his subject appears in the form of six different people.

Not one is named Bob Dylan (or Robert Zimmerman), though all of them evoke actual and invented points in the Dylan cosmos: Billy the Kid, Woody Guthrie, the Mighty Quinn. They’re not all musicians: One is a poet named Arthur Rimbaud; another is a movie star.

These divergent visions of Dylan are played by two different Australians (Heath Ledger and Cate Blanchett); a young British actor (Ben Whishaw); a prepubescent African-American named Marcus Carl Franklin; Richard Gere; and the most recent Batman. Their stories collide and entwine, adding up to an experience that is as fascinating and inexhaustible as listening to “Blood on the Tracks” or “The Basement Tapes.”

It is unusual to see a masterwork emerge from one artist’s absorption with the work of another, though Mr. Haynes came close with “Far From Heaven,” his 2002 homage to the director Douglas Sirk. And while “I’m Not There” is immersed in Dylanology, it is more than a document of scholarly preoccupation or fan obsession.

Devotees of Dylan lore will find their heads swimming with footnotes, as they track Mr. Haynes’s allusions not only to Mr. Dylan’s own music but also to the extensive secondary literature it has inspired, from books by David Hajdu and Greil Marcus to films, including D. A. Pennebaker’s 1967 documentary, “Don’t Look Back,” some of which Mr. Haynes remakes shot for shot.

But the film is anything but dry, and like Mr. Dylan’s best songs, it is at once teasingly arcane and bracingly plain-spoken. Mr. Haynes, switching styles, colors, film stocks and editing rhythms with unnerving ease (and with the crucial help of Jay Rabinowitz and Edward Lachman, the editor and the director of photography), has held his cerebral and his visceral impulses in perfect balance. “I’m Not There” respects the essential question Mr. Dylan’s passionate followers have always found themselves asking — What does it mean? — without forgetting that the counter-question Mr. Dylan has posed is more challenging and, for a movie, more important: How does it feel?

As you watch the mid-’60s renegade folk singer Jude Quinn — embodied in Ms. Blanchett’s hunched, skinny frame and photographed in silvery Nouvelle Vague black and white — pinball through swinging London, subsisting on amphetamines, Camel straights and gnomic talk, it feels like a pop earthquake. The ’60s, man! As Mr. Ledger’s character and his wife (Charlotte Gainsbourg) meet, marry and fall apart, it feels like the heartbreaking aftermath of a moment of high promise and possibility. (That would be the ’70s.)

Riding the rails in 1959 with a pint-size, wisecracking hobo who calls himself Woody Guthrie (Mr. Franklin) and saddling up with Mr. Gere’s Billy the Kid in Riddle, Mo., in the 19th century, you feel a piercing nostalgia for a pastoral America that probably existed only in legend. With Christian Bale, playing a star of the Greenwich Village coffeehouse scene who resurfaces as a Pentecostal minister in Los Angeles years later, you experience a prickle of confusion and morbid curiosity. As it all unfolds, there may be other feelings too, including awe at the quality of the performances and occasional exasperation at Mr. Haynes’s sprawling, hectic virtuosity.

Still, I would not subtract a minute of this movie, or wish it any different. Nor do I anticipate being finished with “I’m Not There” anytime soon, since, like “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” it invites endless interpretation, criticism and elaboration. Instead of proposing a definitive account of Bob Dylan’s career, Mr. Haynes has used that career as fuel for a wide-ranging (and, if you’ll permit me, freewheeling) historical inquiry into his own life and times. In spite of its title, “I’m Not There” is a profoundly, movingly personal film, passionate in its engagement with the mysteries of the recent past.

“Live in your own time.” That’s the advice young “Woody Guthrie” hears from a motherly woman who offers him a hot meal and a place to sleep. It’s sensible advice — he’s daydreaming of the Depression in the middle of the space age — but also useless. It’s not as if anyone has a choice. To slog through the present requires no particular wit, vision or art. But a certain kind of artist will comb through the old stuff that’s lying around — the tall tales and questionable memories, the yellowing photographs and scratched records — looking for glimpses of a possible future. Though there’s a lot of Bob Dylan’s music in “I’m Not There,” Mr. Haynes is not simply compiling golden oldies. You hear familiar songs, but what you see is the imagination unleashed — the chimes of freedom flashing.

From everything I have read about Heath I would suspect he is doing something that has nothing to do with being a famous actor or Hollywood. I would suspect he is doing something quite ordinary. That is one thing I like about Heath so much, he seems to just be a pretty regular guy who doesn't require a lot of fanfare.

A big hi and Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Heathens,

I too am a Heathen and as I am typing this, I am watching "Cassanova" again on cable. Last night I saw "Candy" again, and this morning, the one and only, "Brokeback Mountain" on Cinemax. Can't say how many times I saw this one. Stopped counting a while ago.  "Ain't no reins on that one." :)

Welcome JStephens to the Heath thread and believe me it is alot of reading and pictures. I started at the end and then went to the beginning. The pics are great and I thank all of you who have posted pics as well as articles about this seemingly "ordinary guy" with a cute baby that looks like a mini-Heath.

I like Jake too, but Heath is my fav. Those are great pics Ellemeno and a great Thanksgiving treat. Maybe one day I'll learn how to upload or download pictures.  :-\

Like a Complete Unknown: I'm Not There and the Changing Face of Bob Dylan on Film
by J. Hoberman
November 20th, 2007 3:50 PM

I'm Not There is the movie of the year—but to whom does Todd Haynes's Bob Dylan biopic actually belong, and when was it really made?
The great attention-grabber of last month's New York Film Festival, I'm Not There is as notable for its stunt casting as its elusive subject. It's Six Actors in Search of the Great White Wonder. Half a dozen performers of assorted age, race, gender, and prominence play the variously named protagonist—who is introduced by a stand-in for the poet Arthur Rimbaud as a corpse on a slab: "God rest his soul. . . . Even the ghost was more than one person."

I'm Not There shows a showbiz life falling apart and reconstituting itself multiple times, but it's not anything like The Bob Dylan Story. His name is never uttered.

On first viewing, there seems to be no particular form. This is a dense film with an all-over free-associational structure. The characteristic means of advance is two steps forward, a dipsy-doodle step back, and a flying leap into the future. As Haynes's 135-minute phantasmagoria rolls on toward closure, the oldest of its Dylan figures hops a freight train along with the youngest—so it must be yet another one who crashes his motorcycle by the tracks. Meanwhile, the flaming electrified Dylan of 1966 dies of a drug overdose, floating over London as the actual Dylan "posthumously" croaks the movie's haunting title song—a 1967 "Basement Tape" session which, until this movie, existed only as a bootleg.

How to explain the film's jokes and allusions? The glimpse of the street musician Moondog on Sixth Avenue? The meaning of veteran folkie Richie Havens singing "Tombstone Blues" on the porch of a sharecropper's shack? The tortuous Black Panther explication of "Ballad of a Thin Man"? Small wonder that one enthusiastic Film Commentator has compared I'm Not There to Finnegans Wake.

This isn't the first time that Haynes, who studied film as semiotics, has taken pop stars or pop music for a text. He established his reputation in the late '80s as the co-author of Superstar, a Super-8 tour de force that wrung maximum pathos from the tale of Karen Carpenter by using a cast of Barbie dolls. A decade later, Velvet Goldmine—probably the most cerebral rock 'n' roll movie ever made—proposed glam rock as a Dionysian religion with a David Bowie–like androgyne as its cynical high priest.

I'm Not There is doggedly pop-modernist in its layered, nonlinear, post–Citizen Kane structure and strategically applied Dylanology. The viewer is invited to search for the author's footnotes as well as the subject's fingerprints. Quotation merges with invention. A tarantula crawls through it. Original recordings mix with covers. The title is made literal by Haynes's subtitle: The Lives and Time of Bob Dylan. The lives are his. The time—however chronologically skewed—is ours.

Bob Dylan may not be one to ever look back, but his past has never been more present. I'm Not There is part of the larger, ongoing Dylan revival brilliantly orchestrated by his manager, Jeff Rosen.
A discreet fellow, to the business born (his father was the accountant to Dylan's legendary first manager, Albert Grossman), Rosen opened the vaults to issue the multi-CD "Bootleg Series" in the early '90s and produced the 2004 Scorsese-signed documentary No Direction Home; he encouraged the publication of Dylan's memoirs and the unfortunate Twyla Tharp ballet; he not only facilitated I'm Not There but the release of several archival documentaries.

Thus, as Haynes's film opens at Film Forum, D.A. Pennebaker will premiere an hour's worth of outtakes from his 1967 Dylan portrait, Don't Look Back, at the IFC Center, and the Walter Reade will run Murray Lerner's The Other Side of Mirror, a straightforward documentary of Dylan's mid-'60s appearances at three consecutive Newport Folk Festivals.

Is it all too much? Following the New York Film Festival press screening of I'm Not There, I walked to the subway with a post-'60s, European-born film programmer. She could appreciate I'm Not There as a Todd Haynes film, but the Dylan minutiae was a baffling source of irritation.

Can one communicate the significance that Haynes takes as a given? The best sense may be found in a two-page story written by a man who very likely never heard of Dylan. In "Everything and Nothing," Jorge Luis Borges writes of an artist who has "no one inside him" and whose words, "which were multitudinous, and of a fantastical and agitated turn," suggested "a dream someone had failed to dream." To understand that dream and Dylan's importance to his audience of dreamers, catch The Other Side of the Mirror.

Something Dylan always resisted making, The Other Side of the Mirror is a pure performance film. But it is also a three-act drama. In 1963, a 22-year-old lad turns up at Newport as a mysteriously accomplished folk revivalist. The movie opens during an afternoon workshop with solemn Bob performing his original iron-mining dirge, "North Country Blues," on a stage crowded with other folkies. Chanteuse Judy Collins stares fixedly into space; old time banjo-picker Roscoe Holcomb—himself a former coal miner—looks baffled. Not for the last time is somebody wondering: Who is this nasal-voiced kid, and where did he come from?

Later, a beaming Joan Baez introduces her protégé, and together they bellow Dylan's protest ballad "With God on Our Side." (Roscoe seems even more puzzled.) Lerner cuts to a nighttime version of the Dylan-Baez duet; someone declares that this curly-haired boy "has his finger on the pulse of our generation." Dylan does a total Woody Guthrie impersonation with "Talkin' World War III Blues" and then, switching from antiwar satire to civil-rights pathos, overwhelms the crowd with the complicated phrasing, credible analysis, and palpable emotion of his Medgar Evers– inspired "Only a Pawn in Their Game." The festival ends in a paroxysm of good feeling, with Dylan fronting a half-dozen performers singing his (or rather Peter, Paul and Mary's Top 40 hit) "Blowin' in the Wind." He's serious and modest, and he upstages them all.

In 1963, Dylan was a prodigy performing for a particular coterie. A year later, he is the festival's undeniable star, confident and no longer scruffy, with a repertoire of original songs—"Mr. Tambourine Man," "All I Want to Do," "Don't Think Twice"—so good that the audience seems to shake its collective head in disbelief. Had the coffeehouses of MacDougal Street really incubated so miraculous a talent? No longer is Dylan anybody's protégé; now Baez is his straight man, particularly when they sing their increasingly lugubrious anthem "With God on Our Side."

For his final number, Dylan introduces "Chimes of Freedom," declaiming it in a controlled beatnik ecstasy. It's his most complex song to date—and his most generous ever, a Whitmanesque embrace extended to "every hung-up person in the whole wide universe." The words keep spinning and tumbling; the sense of communion is overwhelming. Dylan delights in blowing the audience's mind. The crowd can't stop applauding. In a moment no one will ever see again, after a song he will soon cease to play, Bob pops back onstage to tell the fans that he loves them.

As the '65 festival begins, Dylan sports a fancier guitar and a better haircut. What's more, he's wearing shades and smoking his cigarettes onstage. It's clear that he's planning to run away from home. And the songs are even better! When he sings "Love Minus Zero (No Limit)," the audience still leans forward to concentrate. Then he appears in a polka-dot shirt and leather jacket, fronting the amplified Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and blows the audience away with the declaration that he ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more. Scattered sullen boos. Dylan charges into his just-released Top 40 hit "Like a Rolling Stone." More boos.

In I'm Not There, Haynes envisions Newport '65 as a direct assault on the audience. The dandified Dylan and his band spray the crowd with machine-gun fire. Then, following the logic of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Haynes elects to "print the myth": He stages the apocryphal scene in which Pete Seeger has to be restrained from cutting the power supply with an ax. It's war!
In The Other Side of the Mirror, Dylan simply leaves the stage, but the crowd calls him back. Can't it please be the way that it was? Dylan returns alone and contemptuously sings them something they'll like: a polished, slightly rushed, and vaguely sarcastic version of "Mr. Tambourine Man." The audience begs for more. He leaves them with a hyper-enunciated rendition of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." End of story. Was ever a star more appreciated—or more stifled by that appreciation?

Haynes's protagonist first appears as an 11-year-old African-American (Marcus Carl Franklin) riding the rails, hobnob bing with hobos, and calling himself Woody. Singing his Dust Bowl ballads and doted on by white Southern liberals, this plucky, pint-size vagabond is a hilariously self-aggrandizing, assured, voluble, and precocious performer, even if he has to be reminded that it's 1959. He's also a tough act to follow, but the mythmaking has only just begun.

Dylan's next avatar, the diffident protest singer Jack Rollins (Christian Bale), resembles another Dylan model, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and inhabits a pastiche of the Scorsese doc No Direction Home. Looking back on the folk scene, Julianne Moore plays a fictional Joan Baez ("Every night I would invite this ragamuffin on stage") while Jack explains why he decided to take a powder: "All they wanted from me was finger-pointin' songs." (Not that Dylan ever stopped pointing his finger; he just shifted targets. Indeed, Jack will later reappear as the born-again, gospel-singing Pastor John.)

Haynes then executes a Pirandellian pirouette, jumping to the last days of the Vietnam War. The protagonist is now Robbie (Heath Ledger), an egocentric Method actor who, after Jack Rollins's disappearance, became "the new James Dean" by impersonating the folkie icon in a biopic called Grain of Sand. Still with me? Robbie is introduced breaking up with his wife Claire. Haynes flashes back a decade to their meeting in a Greenwich Village coffeehouse. An independent artist and then the mother of Robbie's children, Claire is the relationship woman, combining aspects of Suze Rotolo and Sara Dylan and played by Charlotte Gainsbourg, herself a text as the daughter of a '60s "It" Girl, Jane Birkin, and a monstre sacré, French troubadour Serge Gainsbourg.

Having unmasked and remasked the protagonist, Haynes skips at once back and ahead to mod London to present his own sacred monster—the incandescent mid-'60s electric speed freak Jude Quinn (Cate Blanchett). Haynes is not what one would call a natural filmmaker. His ideas are too evident, his schemata overly present. He is, however, a sort of natural Brechtian: His actors are always "quoting." I'm Not There gets surprisingly naturalistic performances from Ledger and especially Bale. But it's the blatant alienation effect provided by Marcus Carl Franklin and Cate Blanchett's fastidiously copied mannerisms that truly dramatize the self-invented, sheer sui generis–ness of the Dylan trip.

With Blanchett, the movie turns black-and-white faux vérité. Drawing on Pennebaker's Don't Look Back and riffing on A Hard Day's Night (Jude frisks with under-cranked, helium-voiced Beatles at a British lawn party), Haynes ponders Dylan's most alarming and compelling manifestation as the vitriolic brat-visionary "voice of a generation." Allen Ginsberg (David Cross) dances attendance; a smug BBC journalist (Bruce Greenwood) casts himself as the clueless Mr. Jones; an Edie Sedgwick–like ex-debutante (Michelle Williams) drifts onto the scene, grist for Jude's malicious humor.

Self-destruction seems imminent, but Haynes isn't finished. A mature Dylan (Richard Gere) named Billy (as though he were the Kid in retirement), but referred to as "Mr. B," is riding out the apocalypse of High Sixties craziness, incognito in a western town named Hallowe'en that, complete with giraffe, is part Woodstock and the rest Fellini. This is the righteous Cowboy Bob of the John Wesley Harding LP, the Dylan of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and the bicentennial "Rolling Thunder" tour, as sanctimoniously played by the only actor in the film who was of age to experience the Dylan juggernaut firsthand.

Everything is here, but is I'm Not There intelligible to anyone beyond the cognoscenti? Is Haynes addressing Dylan? Is he imagining how Jude Quinn must feel—a freak suffering a surplus of intelligence and feeling, the loneliness of forever talking above people's heads, the pressure of being the smartest, the most popular, the coolest, funniest, most talented person in the room? When everybody's a kiss-ass phony or a belligerent poseur, how are you supposed to be real? (Especially since, as with the subject of Borges's story, you have trained yourself to pretend to be somebody so that no one discovers your "nobodiness.")

Could this conundrum be the root of Bob Dylan's long, tortuous, not entirely requited love affair with the movies?

One needn't be a hardcore Dylanologist to figure that Bob grew up on Hollywood westerns or to glean that back when he was hanging out on Bleecker Street, he was also glomming nouvelle vague flicks at the Bleecker Street Cinema. The 2000 Oscar he won for the song "Things Have Changed" from Wonder Boys meant so much to him that he took it on tour, perched as a talisman atop his amplifier.

Haynes, who has surely thought as much about Dylan and the movies as anyone on earth, told a New York Film Festival audience that I'm Not There referred to a number of Dylan's favorite movies—by which he seems to have meant Fellini's 8 ½—as well as Dylan vehicles. Haynes further noted that, although he had no direct dealings with his subject, he was told that Dylan gave his blessing to the I'm Not There project on the basis of screening Haynes's earlier movies.

Dylan always identified with directors; he imagined his own life as a movie. Yet to appear in a movie would be to fix an identity, to admit that one was acting. Perhaps it was this conflict that denied him something like Mick Jagger's charmed résumé—collaborations with Kenneth Anger, documentaries by the likes of Peter Whitehead, the Maysles brothers, and Robert Frank, a career-defining performance in the cult film Performance. Jean-Luc Godard made a Rolling Stones rehearsal the centerpiece of One Plus One; Dylan had to make do with an inane dis in Masculine-Feminine: "Who are you, Mr. Bob Dylan?" Hey, how did Godard guess that the question of identity would haunt every movie (and every move) that Mr. Bob Dylan would make?

In early 1965, Dylan informed the host of a TV chat show that he planned to make a "horror cowboy movie." (Asked if he'd be cast as the horror cowboy, he replied that, no, he'd be playing his mother.) That spring, Dylan visited the Warhol Factory and sat for two screen tests—one impassively behind shades and another smoking a cigarette and glaring at the camera. As a gift, Warhol presented him with a silver Elvis painting, which Dylan would give to Albert Grossman in return for a couch. Soon after, Dylan was starring in his own vehicle, Don't Look Back's account of his 1965 British tour. Too much of nothing is revealed: A hypersensitive 24-year-old attempts to cope with mega-celebrity. The inability of virtually everyone to respond to him as a normal person is a given. Meanwhile, local journalists play a collective Margaret Dumont to Dylan's sour Groucho: Who does this guy think he is? (In I'm Not There, Haynes dramatizes the press's revenge—outing Jude Quinn's suppressed middle-class Jewish origins.)

Don't Look Back premiered two years later at the same Summer of Love Montreal Film Festival that opened with Bonnie and Clyde—with Dylan already many months into post-motorcycle-accident seclusion. Hardly a substitute for a new album, Pennebaker's film reprised the uneasy last days of Dylan's pre-electric incarnation. It was nevertheless received as a breakthrough, the first feature-length vérité pop-star portrait. Dylan, however, must not have cared for it: He appropriated the footage that Pennebaker shot of his 1966 British tour (meant for a TV documentary) and—working with filmmaker Howard Alk—produced his own perversely pulverized version. At once withholding and self-indulgent, Eat the Document fragments brilliant onstage performances in favor of Dylan's backstage riffs with soulmate Robbie Robertson and other members of the entourage.

Although much of the footage would appear, even more perversely re-normalized, in No Direction Home (and provided material for the Jude Quinn sequences in I'm Not There), Eat the Document was never really released. As befits a would-be underground movie, it had its theatrical premiere at the Whitney Museum. Dylan, meanwhile, was down in Mexico, making his first "real" movie, Sam Peckinpah's hippie western Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Peckinpah supposedly had no clear idea who the singer was. Both the star, Kris Kristofferson, and the screenwriter, Rudy Wurlitzer, would take credit for recruiting Dylan to play the Kid's smirky sidekick; Dylan, however, was surely responsible for naming his character "Alias."

Did Bob Dylan really exist? Such was the question posed four years later, when Dylan directed his celluloid magnum opus Renaldo & Clara. This four-hour extravaganza was born as a rockumentary of the 1975–76 "Rolling Thunder" tour; its purpose, according to the filmmaker, was "to put forth a certain vision which I carry around, and can't express on any other canvas."

Hired to write dialogue—little of which would be used—Sam Shepard was enjoined to study the epic backstage love story Children of Paradise (the one previous movie that Dylan thought to have successfully "stopped time") and Truffaut's New Wave noir, Shoot the Piano Player. ("Is that the kind of movie you want to make?" Shepard asked, receiving the laconic reply: "Something like that.") Scorsese, who first met Dylan when he was shooting The Last Waltz in late '76, remembers a more suggestive model: Dylan spoke to him about R.W. Fassbinder's Beware of the Holy Whore, "a film about the collective idea, and about its impossibility."
To dream the impossible dream: Fassbinder would have had an easier time imagining Dylan than vice versa. Shortly before Renaldo & Clara's release, Dylan gave an interview to Rolling Stone in which he took care to name-check (and patronize) the two key filmmakers of the '60s: "Warhol did a lot for American cinema," he explained. "He was before his time." As for Godard, Dylan recalled that, although he had never seen a movie like Breathless, once he did, it seemed totally familiar; he remembered thinking, "Yeah man, why didn't I do that, I could have done that."

A monstrously curdled ego was about to be uncorked. "My film is about identity—everybody's identity," Dylan declared. Asked about the running time, Dylan expressed surprise "that people think that four hours is too long for a film. As if people had so much to do. To me, it's not long enough. . . . Americans are spoiled, they expect art to be like wallpaper with no effort, just to be there." Advertised as "a motion picture mural about relationships, about Bob Dylan, about all of us," Renaldo & Clara opened with a performance of "When I Paint My Masterpiece."

Truly, pondering Dylan brings out the grandiloquent in everyone, even himself. The height of psychodramatic self-deification, Dylan's movie presented the filmmaker as Renaldo, a man in the clear plastic mask, a Third World savior, venerated by Native Americans, African-Americans, and beatnik Americans alike. When not performing in clown-face, Renaldo swanned around bare-chested as the Woman in White (Joan Baez) competed for his attention against long-suffering Clara (wife Sara, who would divorce Dylan during editing). The character "Bob Dylan" was played by fat Ronnie Hawkins, the onetime leader of the band that became the Band.

This humorless, solipsistic spectacle was hell on audiences but heaven for headline writers: "Gone With the Idiot Wind" or "Ballad in Plain Dull." The Village Voice sent six writers to review, five of whom panned it. "So many reputations are sunk by Renaldo & Clara that it's like watching the defeat of the Spanish Armada," James Wolcott cackled; Mark Jacobson put his life in jeopardy, beginning his review, "I wish Bob Dylan had died." In The New York Times, Janet Maslin nailed the star's peculiar narcissistic diffidence: Dylan gives the impression "that he isn't really interested in acting, and that he is always acting anyway."

New Times reported that Dylan now considered himself a filmmaker with a dozen movies planned. But after Renaldo & Clara's critical bludgeoning (and $2 million loss), he retired from the field. Although stranger things have happened, it seems unlikely that the movie will receive a 30th-anniversary re-release. Still, the 2003 Masked & Anonymous, directed (pre-Borat) by Seinfeld's Larry Charles and starring Dylan, revisited Renaldo & Clara on a lower, less grandiose key and was more fondly shrugged off. Although The New York Post called Masked & Anonymous "a strong contender for the worst movie of the century," few critics managed much indignation; more typical was Michael Atkinson's assessment in the Voice of the film as "the final survivor of a dying dinosaur species . . . a trash-can monument to Dylan's aging coolness."

Certain cultural figures have a particular inevitability. Charles Chaplin and Elvis Presley rode technological waves, surfing to superstardom on powerful socio-economic currents. Had Chaplin never come to America, another slapstick comic would have emerged to reign over the nation's nickelodeons; Elvis might never have been born, but someone else would surely have brought the world rock 'n' roll.

No such logic accounts for Bob Dylan. No iron law of history demanded that a would-be Elvis from Hibbing, Minnesota, would swerve through the Greenwich Village folk revival to become the world's first and greatest rock 'n' roll beatnik bard and then—having achieved fame and adoration beyond reckoning—vanish into a folk tradition of his own making.

Lerner opens The Other Side of the Mirror with ex-Weaver Ronnie Gilbert introducing Dylan at the 1964 festival. This artist, she tells the crowd, "grew out of a need." The times demanded him, and so did the audience. "You know him—he's yours." It may be pretty to think so, but that's a social function against which Dylan would spend decades rebelling. Not until the debacle that was Renaldo & Clara would Dylan's fans fully appreciate the monster they had wrought.

I'm Not There has one near constant: Everyone complains that Jack or Robbie or Jude or even Mr. B has changed. (Haynes too: Several observers have made the point that where Velvet Goldmine attacked its chameleon-like David Bowie character for betraying his fans, I'm Not There reveres Dylan for his existential metamorphoses.) This resentment is complicated by an aggrieved sense that Jack/Robbie/Jude should have been changing the world instead of himself—as if he actually had a choice.

I'm Not There is a unique collaboration. It's an essay that derives its intellectual force from the idea of Bob Dylan, and its emotional depth from his songs. Haynes doesn't deny his subject's insistence that his authentic self could never be explained or portrayed—and might not even exist. "I don't know who I am most of the time," little Woody confesses in the midst of his compulsive mythmaking. We don't either, although, then again, we really do.

Moments before I'm Not There ends, Haynes presents a shock close-up of the young Dylan taking a harmonica solo and then, over the credits, the sound of the inexhaustible performance that is "Like a Rolling Stone." There's a chill every time the actual voice is heard. Six characters and one ghost who, except for that brief moment, is not even there. This is the Dylan movie that Dylan himself could never make.

KAOS is a tattoo on his left wrist and the letters are the initials of the first names of his mother and three sisters. There was some random speculation that when Michelle and Matilda were in his life, would the tattoo be changed, but that does not seem to have come to pass.

You can see the tattoo in BBM a few times, including when he hugs the shirts up in Jack's closet.

'Stinky' Heath Ledger
27/11/2007 4:30:00 PM 


Heath Ledger disgusted fellow subway passengers in New York with his "unwashed" smell at the weekend, it has been claimed.



Heath Ledger 
(BANG) -

Heath Ledger disgusted fellow subway passengers in New York at the weekend with his "unwashed" stench, it has been claimed.

The 'Brokeback Mountain' star was spotted carrying his two-year-old daughter Matilda through a station during Thanksgiving weekend, and commuters who crossed his path insist he was giving off an unpleasant smell.

One onlooker said: "He was pushing past the crowds on a staircase and I got quite a whiff. He smelled pretty unwashed!"

Heath - who split from Matilda's mother Michelle Williams in the summer - was wearing red-framed sunglasses, an oversize lilac knitted hat and a fleece-lined jacket, which passengers also claim needed a good wash.

The witness added to America's OK! magazine: "His jacket has clearly never seen the inside of a washing machine. He seemed to be going for the hobo-chic look!"

In September, it was revealed Michelle and Heath had gone their separate ways after struggling to save their "rocky" relationship for the sake of their child.

To make sure Matilda is not affected by the split the couple are creating identical bedrooms for their daughter in their respective New York apartments so she feels settled moving between Michelle's Brooklyn home and Heath's new SoHo residence.

A source said: "They are having them designed exactly the same so when she wakes up in Heath's place she won't feel displaced."

Michelle, 27, remained at the couple's Brooklyn brownstone mansion when they split, while Heath moved out.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Comment:  Heath should bottle that scent, I'd buy me some!  :laugh:

If our man Heath is sartorially and tonsorially challenged to the point that he is experiencing bromidrosis severe enough to disgust fellow subway passengers, I have to wonder if perhaps he is clinically depressed? Maybe this whole break up is taking more of a toll on him than we realize.

Don't you think Michelle must be one of the persons who know him the best; and would be able to recognize that something was amiss......  I can't really see the mother of a 2-year old letting her ex-hubby take that small a child around alone in New York City, including on the subway - if he showed clear signs of being clinically depressed. So... no, wouldn't think so. But Our guy is looking especially frazzled lately, difficult to deny that.

World Exclusive: The Joker Speaks
He's a cold-blooded mass-murdering clown
   

Yes, some scamp leaked our Joker cover image yesterday*. But, though they may take our pictures, they will never take our, erm, words. The cover is just the beginning.

In an exclusive interview Empire sat down on the set of The Dark Knight with Heath Ledger, aka The Joker, as well as the rest of the cast and crew, to talk about bringing the greatest villain in comic book (and now cinema) history to the screen again.

"I definitely feared it," says Ledger of taking a role that every fanboy around the world demands to see done right. "Although anything that makes me afraid I guess excites me at the same time. I don’t know if I was fearless, but I certainly had to put on
a brave face and believe that I have something up my sleeve. Something different...”

This is not your Jack Nicholson or Cesar Romero Joker. The new incarnation of the character is cruel and psycho to the core. And getting into that mindset meant Ledger marinading himself in nothing but Joker before shooting.

"It’s a combination of reading all the comic books I could that were relevant to the script and then just closing my eyes and meditating on it," he says. "I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices — it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath — someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts. He’s just an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown, and Chris has given me free rein. Which is fun, because there are no real boundaries to what The Joker would say or do. Nothing intimidates him, and everything is a big joke"

I think it has come to the point where we need to have a sign up sheet for bathing duty. Let's see, there are 7 days of the week, so we can each take a day. If there are more than 7 of us who volunteer, I guess we can go to two baths a day for Mr. Ledger...that would make 14 slots. And if we need more than that, I suppose there is the option of thrice daily washings....

Right now, I'm grabbing Thursday. Oh Heath, this way cowboy.....(Leslie crooks finger)....

David, David, David (we need a headshaking smiliey here).
You may have a card and your ruby slippers. But that's nothing when confronted with an angry mob of Heathens. You will share like everyone of us - or do I need to send you another pair of bunnies?  ;D

Well, yesterday was my day and the...um....ritual went very well. My guest of honor asked me to be somewhat discreet but did say I could give y'all a brief report. So...

First off, make sure you have plenty of these:

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/album%202/L960590.jpg)

and this:

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/album%202/pash-shampoo-med.jpg)

After the initial cleansing my guest was not adverse to this (notice the candles):

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/album%202/bubble_bath_with_candles__towels.jpg)

When we were done he wrapped up in this:

while I went to find this:

and this:

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/bw_hands.jpg)

When we were done he said thanks with a tip of his hat:

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/heathledger-1.jpg)

And looked nice and relaxed, like this:

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/heath.jpg)

I have my fingers crossed that he'll be back next Thursday:

But right now I need to go do this:

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/washingmachine.jpg)

because my towel closet looks like this!

Note to all: I think I have set a pretty high standard for the bathing ritual  ;)  He's on his way to Indianapolis (Sat) via Montreal (Fri). Who has Sunday and Monday? Chrissi is on board for Tuesday...

I agree, it's truly a tour de force & iconic performance.  There have been very few of those in my lifetime. Maybe Al Pacino in the Godfather, Johnny Depp in Ed Wood, Deniro in Taxi Driver.

Well, I'm off to Heath in see I'm Not There, it opens today in Toronto!  I'll report back later on the appropriate thread.  :D

I don't see Ennis in ANY of those Joker pics, and maybe only a hint of Heath in 1...  kinda scary.

I do think many of us Heathens are excited about TDK due to Heath, myself included, so I’m really glad that this franchise by Nolan is darker and nothing like the TV cartoon ones.  I can’t wait for it, and I hope I can see it on IMAX screen here.

If Matilda saw the Joker she wouldn't recognize him, I should think. Or if she did, perhaps she'll just come to believe that that's how the unique clan Ledger Santa looks like! After all she's used to a daddy who dresses.... ahem....imaginatively. Why wouldn't Santa do the same? (All he maybe lacks, is elf-like red-and-white striped socks. No... wait.

Yet more from Michael Caine:

Also, Michael Caine, who plays the role of Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s butler and confidante, has once again opened up about Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker. In the wake of Jack Nicholson’s tantrum at not being asked to reprise the role, or give his advice, the comments seem placating; as if someone asked Caine to smooth over some ruffled feathers.

Speaking to Empire: "Now, we have had Jack Nicholson, who is one of the greatest Jokers and one of the greatest characters in this kind of movie. I have worked with Jack and I know him really well. You do not really want to follow Jack into anything. Unless it's a nightclub...Heath Ledger stunned me.

"Jack played The Joker as sort of a benign nasty clown - like a wicked uncle. Heath plays him like an absolutely maniacal murderous psychopath. You have never seen anything like it in your life. He is very, very scary. I turn up every month or so and do a couple of bits then go back to London.

“I had to do this bit where Batman and I watch a video which The Joker sends to threaten us. So I'd never seen him, and then he came on the television in the first rehearsal and I completely forgot my lines. I flipped, because it was so stunning, it was quite amazing. Wait until you see it, it's incredible."

Post by: serious crayons on December 04, 2007, 11:32:04 am
Well, I'm guessing they won't let Matilda see much of her daddy as Joker.

One time when my sons were about 2 and 3, we were in Target around Halloween, and I tried on a witch mask. My younger son burst into tears and begged me to take it off. So there I was, the same person from the neck down, wearing my same clothes, same hair, standing in an aisle filled with obviously artificial masks, and STILL he was terrified.

So I can only imagine how Matilda would react to a Joker so scary he made Michael Caine forget his lines!

 :o :o :o

Jack Nicholson is being a little silly, IMO. What next -- a complaint from Cesar Romero (TV's Joker) that Jack Nicholson stole HIS role??

Late-night nookie for Lohan, Ledger

Lindsay Lohan is dating Heath Ledger, it has been reported.

The Mean Girls star - who split from her snowboarder boyfriend Riley Giles last week - is said to have enjoyed a number of late-night sessions with the Australian actor after meeting him at New York's Beatrice Inn over Thanksgiving weekend.

A source told Australia's New Weekly magazine: "Lindsay and Heath hit it off straight away. When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York.

"It was purely physical."

Lindsay travelled to New York with Riley - who she met at Utah's Sundance rehab clinic in August - but the pair were seen out partying separately during their stay in the same city.

The 21-year-old actress had reportedly grown tired of Riley's jealousy and dumped him shortly after they returned to Los Angeles on November 25 following their Thanksgiving break.

Heath, 28, split from his girlfriend Michelle Williams - with who he has a two-year-old daughter, Matilda - in September.

Since then Heath has been linked to former supermodel Helena Christensen and has constantly been spotted on the New York party circuit flirting and "making out" with a string of women.

It's been on the ONTD gossip site too (where I happened to see it) - but I suppose they were quoting some other gossip source in their turn. Can't really take it seriously. Not long ago the same type of site was pairing Jake G. with Jessica Simpson. These blonde bimbos at least get the gossip going.  ::)


Crayons, I wasn't thinking Matilda would get to see the Joker in action - ie. see snippets of the film. God, I hope not! But she might come across an image or ten - they are many places in the public room already, and that will only increase towards the premiere.


I am perhaps the only one, but the more his co-stars tout how fantastical Heath's Joker is, the more I get the feeling they are following studio instruction in going on and on about it. Not that they don't mean it, exactly -I'm sure they do -  but the studio has every interest in managing the anticipation building and fuelling the hype around the big bad of the film. So even if he didn't do that well, or if the role was good but not any kind of acting landmark, they'd see too it that similar stories hit the press, fast and furious, to go with these carefully released images. I *know* what Heath is capable of, and I don't doubt he'll be awe-inspiringly chillingly fantastic - but let's see the film first, and THEN we can go crazy over the Joker. (Perhaps it's just that I'm very ambivalent about him excelling as a murdering, lunatic psychopat. Not my favourite type of movie character any day of the week... the more convincing and cool he is, the more ambivalent I'll probably be.)

from imdb.com:

Lohan and Ledger Dating?

Lindsay Lohan ditched snowboarder lover Riley Giles after hooking up with single Oscar-nominated Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger, according to reports. The Georgia Rule actress split with Giles - who she met in rehab - last week, supposedly so the actress could concentrate on her career. But Australian magazine NW claims she dumped Giles after meeting Ledger in a New York club over Thanksgiving. The magazine reports, "Lindsay and Heath hit it off straight away. When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York. They were meeting late at night for sex. It was purely physical." Ledger has been single since splitting from fiancee Michelle Williams in September.



Ugh. Are our boys confused, or what?

"They were meeting late at night for sex. It was purely physical."

Now how could anyone know that?  How many folks would Lindsay or Heath say that to?

Oh well . . .  :-\   Imagine how Michelle must feel.  (So soon after breaking up and having to hear that shit about your child's father, who I imagine she still has to see every once in a while when exchanging Matilda.  Ick.)

There's a poll at the Entertainmentwise Website asking if Lindsay Lohan and Heath Ledger make a good couple:

I just voted and it was 93% NO and 7% YES

So it would seem most folks out there agree with us!

Yes, like the love child of Christina Ricci and Chucky, lol!  Anyway, she'll be Heath's co-star in the Gilliam film which is what is feeding the rumours.

Well, Lily Cole is where I draw the line! Lindsay L. may not be much to cheer for, but at least I can see why a guy in the right mood might think it somehow worthwhile getting it on with her. ::)
But Lily Cole looks like an animated corpse (well, hardly animated), and she's so skinny that I don't know how she manages to stand on those sticks she uses for legs. She looks like a painted concentration camp survivor, a girl in the last stages of anorexia, or a doped-down barbie doll.   I hate it that unhealthy-looking "women" like her become big-time role models and icons within the fashion and film industry.  Heath get serious with her, and I'm outta here. I don't care whether she's smart or fun or interesting, she's obviously not using any of that right, far as I am concerned.  :(

from the Hollywood Reporter:


Imax day for 'Knight'
Six-minute preview bows Dec. 14
By Carolyn Giardina

Dec 7, 2007

The bat signal will appear next week, eight stories high -- on Imax screens.

The first six minutes of Warner Bros.' "The Dark Knight," a prologue that introduces Heath Ledger as the Joker, will appear as a preview in Imax theaters before the studio's "I Am Legend," which opens Dec. 14.

"Dark Knight," the next film in the successful Batman franchise, was lensed in part using Imax cameras, a Hollywood first and a creative decision made by director Christopher Nolan, who also helmed 2005's "Batman Begins."

The prologue is one of the scenes photographed in the 70mm Imax format. The rest of the film was lensed in 35mm and will be remastered to the Imax format for release in Imax theaters. In those theaters, the 70mm-lensed sequences will fill the screen and the 35mm-lensed scenes will appear letterboxed. (In traditional theaters, the aspect ratio will remain the same, though some expect that audiences might see a shift in image quality.)

"It's different, the experience you will get watching the film this way," Nolan said of Imax. "It will look great in 35mm as well, but (the Imax preview) might encourage people to go out of their way to see it this way. ... I wanted to make the sequel bigger, and using literally a bigger canvas for the story seemed a great way to put the characters together."

In the six-minute sequence, a team of robbers -- all wearing clown masks -- enters a bank for a planned heist, but things take an unexpected turn. The imagery demonstrates the depth and clarity offered by the format, but perhaps no image is more chilling than the first look at Ledger's Joker.

Nolan described the moment the close-up comes to the screen.

"Seeing this extraordinary face, eight stories high ... you can smell his breath," he said. "He's a very overwhelming personality, and there's incredible texture to his appearance. It's a creepy moment, as it should be."

Commenting on action shots, he said: "When you are racing and jumping ... those are the points when you realize how overpowering the imagery can be. That really takes me back to being a kid and watching films that seemed much larger than life."

Nolan credited director of photography Wally Pfister and his team for their research to enable the cinematography. "We put an enormous amount of work into how to move these cameras," he said. "It's very heavy, it's very cumbersome ... but in the end we felt very free to use the camera."

Nolan said the production even used the camera with a Steadicam. "We also managed to break a Steadicam," he added.

Continued Nolan: "The lenses are very wide. It pushes you to a style of filmmaking that is a little more formal. You tend to move the camera in a much more specific way. You can move things through the frame because you have such a crystal-clear image and you are dealing with such a wide field of vision.

"It's simply the best acquisition format there is," the helmer said. "I love film, and one of the reasons I was very keen to do what I am doing is this is a time when a lot of new technology is being thrown at us. ... Film is an incredible medium, and I think it would be a shame to give up on it and accept new technology without realizing the limitations."

"Dark Knight" was lensed in Chicago and the U.K. Production recently wrapped, and post is under way. The film is slated to open July 18.

A blogger named Nancy Miller has actually seen the IMAX prologue and has these comments. The bolding is mine, for emphasis.


Caught the 6-minute Dark Knight Prologue screening at the Bridge Cinema's IMAX hosted by Christopher Nolan last night in LA. The director introduced the clip to the 50-some odd journos and studio execs present by extolling the virtues of shooting in 2-D 70 mm, noting that his follow-up to 2005's Batman Begins will be the first feature ever (I need to look into this more but, according to Nolan) with several scenes shot in this 2D Imax format. (I spoke with the director afterwards who said he's been wanting to play around with this 30-year old camera system for years and started testing out on his wife and kids in their garden before shooting Dark Knight.)

Yeah, well, even if you're not an IMAX geek, the results are just...fantastic. I won't spoil anything because the Prologue will run as a trailer before I Am Legend on December 14th (definitely a case where the amuse bouche will blow away the main course) but seeing a flick shot for Imax vs. a digital transfer is impressive; the picture was warm and crisp. The Prologue kicks off with clown masks and gun blasts as a bank heist in Gotham turns into a brutal, bloody melée (with a quailty cameo from Prison Break's William Fichtner as a shotgun-toting branch manager). It also gives us a peek at Heath Ledger's Joker, a chartreuse-haired, stone-faced bad-ass who's not playing some lame Nicholson knock-off for laughs. Just ONE problem...

I'm in the odd position of finding the Joker, shall we say, SMOKING HOT. Batman--well, Christian Bale's Batman, not Mr. Mom's Batman (or even Clooney's B-Dude)—is supposed to be shit-hot. I mean, he's a billionaire reformed bad boy in skin tight leather, a cool car and Michael Caine as his butler, you know? But the Joker is supposed to be scary, goofy, creepy—a hambone villain with old lady lipstick and laughing gas. Not some husky-voiced ex-cowboy who looks like an unsettlingly attractive cross between Marlon Brando and Robert Smith.

I mean, c'mon. What next—Gael Garcia Bernal as Penguin?!! Maybe there's something wrong with me. Oh well, to quote the new Joker himself: Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stranger. Sigh.

Another blog, this one from Chris Farnsworth:


The Report:  Bat-geeks, I am your king. Oh, sure, I was once a mere, scrawny comics nerd like you, but that was before I got in to see the first six minutes of The Dark Knight, next summer's Bat-Sequel, tonight at the Bridge Cinema De Lux in Los Angeles.

In IMAX, no less, watching Heath Ledger's first scene as the Joker, while sitting close enough to touch director Christopher Nolan.

I didn't. Security, you know.

The segment will be released as a "stand-alone prologue" before IMAX showings of I Am Legend starting next week, Nolan said. But right now, at this moment, I am one of a handful who's actually seen it.

Spoilers ahead for those of you who can't wait a week, or the few hours it'll take for the grainy cell-phone video to pop up on YouTube. Here's what we saw:

The prologue shows a group of armed thugs in clown masks executing a well-planned bank heist...Then they start executing each other, each man thinking he's increasing the take for himself. But a wrinkle develops when the bank manager (Prison Break's William Fichtner, quietly stealing the scene as always) goes for a shotgun, rather than an alarm. The clowns discover they're ripping off a mob-owned bank.

Death and destruction ensue, and before the six minutes are up, we get a good, long look at Ledger's scarred, pasty white face. And he's not laughing, or using toys like joy buzzers or acid-squirting flowers.

The segment was one of several in the film shot entirely on IMAX cameras. "This is a perfect way to show people what Heath is going to do with the character," Nolan said.

Nolan chose to introduce the Joker in broad daylight "because Batman owns the night," he said at a Q&A after the preview. "Quite a bit takes place during the day, and in some ways, that makes it more threatening. One of the things I thought is interesting is you have a hero who can only come out at night, and the Joker is certainly going to take advantage of that."

Other images revealed in the trailer: the new Batsuit (which finally allows its wearer to turn his head), the Batcycle, the Joker spraying machine-gun bullets and what's got to be the money shot: Jim Gordon smashing the Bat-Signal with an ax.

If this extended tease is any indication, Batman might find himself nostalgic for the days when the Joker stuck with high-voltage joy buzzers.

I've been reading Batman fans' reactions to this prologue the whole day and I've not seen one who's not overwhelmed by Heath's Joker, here's a report from BOF's correspondent in LA:

Quote
After months upon months of waiting, we've finally got our first footage of Heath Ledger's terrifying interpretation of our favorite maniacal clown.

Rather than rundown the events of the footage, which you'll be able to see in IMAX very soon, I'm just going to give you what you're really interested in: details on Ledger’s performance as The Joker.

The first thing that strikes you is his imposing figure; this is a Joker built for one-on-one combat with Batman. A threatening figure, a physicality that frightens and intimidates. His voice is raspy, with a modulating pitch that seems to run from Hamill-esque highs to Nicholson's growly lows.

He moves like every part of his body could strike at any moment, a walking embodiment of the anarchy he creates. And when he takes off that mask, and flashes us a smile that makes you beg for more -- you just know this is going to be something special!

If I have a complaint with the footage shown, it's that Mr. J is behind a mask nearly the whole time. And even that doesn't seem to slow down this terrific, bizarre performance.

We get two good shots of his face, and the make-up is the same thing we've all seen in leaked shots and set footage. But blown up in IMAX format, those dark eyes get pretty damn scary. And that cut mouth looks mighty real. And I'm telling you, that smile is something really, really special.

What a tease. And according to Warner Bros. insiders at the junket, this is nothing compared to what's coming.

Get psyched, Bat-fans! - "The Jacksaur from LA"

Well, Meryl, having some sense of your movie taste from the movie game, I am not sure "I Am Legend" is really your cup of tea!
Here's the synopsis from Warner Brothers:

Robert Neville is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time.

Will Smith plays Robert Neville.

I did dig up one review and basically, this guy says it's lousy:

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=39899

One has to worry a little bit when the director, Francis Lawrence, counts among his directing credits a Britney Spears music video. It is based on a 1954 book which has been made twice into a movie: "The Last Man on Earth," with Vincent Price and "The Omega Man," with Charlton Heston.

I might go, I've never been to an IMAX.  I do have fond memories of The Omega Man so I wouldn't mind seeing it updated.  I remember at the time I couldn't understand why the only movie Heston's Neville ever watched was Woodstock, surely he could have found any  number of other movies in such a big city.  I guess being alone for so long it must have been for the happy crowd scenes.

I also saw the first version with Vincent Price, which seemed more like a classic Zombie flick, and didn't think much of it.

Agreed. I was only once in an IMAX, although we have one nearby. I also found it amazing and was pretty impressed by it.
But they never show regular movies there. Only especially for IMAX made nature movies, like Everest or Dolphins and such. BTW: you just gave me an idea for a Christmas present for my girls; thanks  :D.

I also find the thought of a huuuuuughe Joker in IMAX a bit scary or at least impressive.

Yes, it is strange to be so eager to see this kind of movie. Especially when I throught "Batman Begins" was ever so ho-hum and the plot and villains there were one notch above watching paint dry. (Saw it on DVD some time ago).

But all this Batman Heath Hype is really, really getting to me!  O0

Yes, it's terrible! You need the VOICE!  Don't you have a few or even one cinema showing the original film? I seem to recall when some close relatives of mine lived in München for a while that they used to go to a movie theatre which didn't dub the films. Perhaps that one was the only available and specifically catered to foreigners living in the city, I don't know....

I've seen a handful of IMAX movies in the science museum. I mean made-for-IMAX films, usually nature subjects like Everest and so on.

I've see just one regular movie shown on an IMAX screen: "Night at the Museum." It was terrible. First of all, the movie was terrible, so I would have hated it on any screen. But second, it was hard to watch on IMAX. My eyes kept jumping around the gigantic screen not sure where to land. Unlike a regular movie screen, where you can more or less take in all the action at once, the IMAX screen makes you pick and choose your visual focus, and it may or may not coincide with where the most action is onscreen.

Ah, but with The Dark Knight, we won't have that, "Gee, where should I be looking now?" problem, will we?   ::)

Oh, wait, you will, because you love Heath AND Christian Bale.  Me, it'll be crystal clear where to look.


Seems a me that it might be worth going to this IMAX few minutes just for the preview, and not even watch the main movie.  (The Omega Man with Charlton Heston was one of the scariest movies I ever saw.)

Yes, it's terrible! You need the VOICE!  Don't you have a few or even one cinema showing the original film? I seem to recall when some close relatives of mine lived in München for a while that they used to go to a movie theatre which didn't dub the films. Perhaps that one was the only available and specifically catered to foreigners living in the city, I don't know....

We do have small arthouse cinemas which show original versions from time to time. But normally they show artsy movies and I doubt TDK will fall into this category.  :laugh:

But one of those new modern and huge cineplexes also shows original versions sometimes. I hope I'll be lucky for TDK. But I always go to the theatre with Kerstin and she has problems following a movie in English. Tricky situation either way.

Oh, you'll just have to come to belgium!  :)

Now that's an idea. We're going to have another EuroBokie meeting and we'll have it in Belgium and see TDK together!  :D
And there's still that great western shop in Bruxelles Jude told us about....

But that would have subtitles, right? So Kerstin could hear the Joker's voice but still follow the story in words...

I saw Heath in I'm Not There this evening.  It was a very different kind of role for him...  he was very adult and manly... honestly in a somewhat stereotypical manner...  (I don't mean that Heath was stereotypical, but that Robbie, his character, was)  I was very sad for Robbie towards the end of the movie.  It was also odd to get to see Heath for only snippets at a time...

Leslie, what does 'woot' mean?

I'm actually not familiar with comics, so I'm really not a good judge if Heath was good or not.  All I know is he has again transformed himself into a completely different person.  And judging by the response of the Batman fans, Heath has definitely nailed it, some of them even go so far as saying Heath is God, as far as they are concerned, Heath is the definitive Joker.

Woot...a term of excitement. Sort of like, "yee-haw!" Its exact origins are an item of debate but I see many references to it being a shortened version of "wow loot" from the Dungeons & Dragons games (which I never played).

I saw something yesterday that it was one of the most common words on the Internet this year, but of course, I can't find that again today. I'll keep looking.

Ah! Success!

Merriam-Webster's Word of '07: 'W00t'

By STEPHANIE REITZ – 2 days ago

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Expect cheers among hardcore online game enthusiasts when they learn Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year. Or, more accurately, expect them to "w00t."

"W00t," a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in the Springfield-based dictionary publisher's online poll for the word that best sums up 2007.

Merriam-Webster's president, John Morse, said "w00t" was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology.

"It shows a really interesting thing that's going on in language. It's a term that's arrived only because we're now communicating electronically with each other," Morse said.

Gamers commonly substitute numbers and symbols for the letters they resemble, Morse says, creating what they call "l33t speak" — that's "leet" when spoken, short for "elite" to the rest of the world.

For technophobes, the word also is familiar from the 1990 movie "Pretty Woman," in which Julia Roberts startles her date's upper-crust friends with a hearty "Woot, woot, woot!" at a polo match.

Purists of "l33t speak" often substitute a "7" for the final "t," expressing a "w007" of victory — an "in your face" of sorts — when they defeat an online gaming opponent.

"W00t" was among 20 nominees in a list of the most-searched words in Merriam-Webster's online dictionary and most frequently submitted terms from users of its "open dictionary."

The choice did not make Allan Metcalf, executive secretary of the American Dialect Society, say "w00t."

"It's amusing, but it's limited to a small community and unlikely to spread and unlikely to last," said Metcalf, an English professor at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Ill.

The 2006 pick, "truthiness," also has its roots in pop culture. It was popularized by Comedy Central satirical political commentator Stephen Colbert.

Some also-rans in the 2007 list: the use of "facebook" as a verb to signify using the Web site by that name; nuanced terms such as "quixotic," "hypocrite" and "conundrum"; and "blamestorm," a meeting in which mistakes are aired, fingers are pointed and much discomfort is had by all.

Very interesting, thanks for that.  I disagree with Allan Metcalf though, I think w00t it catchy enough to spread.   A word that is appearing as a result of electronic communication, and that I absolutely can't stand, is "prolly", short for probably.  I've been seeing it more and more and it's like hearing nails on a blackboard! Argh!

Sweet!  Thanks for the links.

It's funny; a lot of the comments on the Dark Knight previews (from guys, by the way they're written) are like, "I've never been this hard in my entire life."  "I just came!"   Heehee.

I've been wondering if the success of The Dark Knight next year will also cause an uptick in BBM rentals.  When folks "discover" a great actor through a performance in a huge mainstream hit film, they'll frequently seek out his/her other work, especially their breakout films (such as BBM in Heath's case).  What do yall think?

I could see that, Laura.  People were amazed when BBM came out at how great an actor Heath is, so they'll be doubly amazed after seeing him do the Joker.  8)

I decided I have to go to the IMAX this week and see the trailer giant-sized.  This looks like it'll be the best Batman movie yet!  Luckily, I read a review of "I Am Legend" that was pretty good and I'm curious to see how they made NYC look utterly deserted and decayed.  Should be fun!  :D

Nah - he can't be the villain, can he? Look how cute he is, like a lost painted puppy:

(http://i9.photobucketpg)

He just needs someone to take him home and bathe him and treat him kindly!

 ;D  :o ;D  :o



Laura, I think you're right that some folks might react the way you say and look up Heath's earlier films.

After all that's totally what I did after Brokeback - about 10 of Heath's earlier films and 10 of Jake's now grace my living room shelves and have been thoroughly watched. Only one each of which I'd watched before Brokeback.   
And I've informed the family that "Zodiac" is on my X-mas wish list.  :)

I'd perhaps think that the Batman fan crowd would stay with their fantasy/sci-fi type film, more than follow any specific one of the actors except perhaps CB  ( - except I totally belong to the Lord of the Rings crowd myself, and yet am perfectly able to fall head over heels in love with the  gritty everyday realism films and their actors, without a single elf or orc to keep me company.... so I shouldn't be so judgmental! )



Mostly, I'm afraid that the studio is over-hyping the Dark Knight too early.  :-\ It's *everywhere* - there's joker stuff on gossip sites and film sites all over the place - and it's half a year yet till it premieres yet. What *are* they going to do for all the required encores between now and then to keep all the fanboys hard and happy for that long?  ???


ETA: Oh, and another thing. I really enjoy how most of the comments are delighted with the Joker and so excited - but there are too many who take the opportunity to revile the casting of Maggie Gyllenhaal and I really resent that. It ruins my squee that people are so nasty about Maggie, who is a wonderful actress that I greatly admire.  :-* to Maggie!

I have followed the Batman forums since Heath's casting, you'd be surprised to know that many of the Batman fans had taken the effort to watch Heath's past films to understand why was he chosen (I was so impressed by this aspect of the Batman fans).  A lot of them had already accepted Heath as the Joker, but to them Joker is such an iconic role, they're still unsure if Heath had the ability to pull it off.  It's only until this trailer that their worries were put to rest.  I think that if Heath's performance in the film is as good as is shown in the trailer, he will earn himself a band of followers.

It still strikes me as some kind of irony of fate that a role as a crazed maniacal murdering psychopat may well do what his Ennis couldn't (at least not on that same scale). We need an essay on What is the world coming to!?!

 :-\  ;) ::)

Also I have been wondering, with all the Joker hype, whether the Joker is considered a lead role in this film. Because the most stunning irony of all would be if the silly Academy saw fit to nominate the Joker for an Oscar one year from now. And hand it over as some kind of "now it's your turn, Heath" kind of thing.  :o  Now *that* would give me big-time fits!

Some of the Batman fans are suggesting nomination for 'Best Supporting Actor' already - a bit crazy and pre-mature I must say - there's no way Joker will be considered the lead role, it is Batman.  I am not a comic books follower, I had no idea how iconic this role is until Heath was cast.

That sucks! I hadn't seen that.

She probably won't get much time in any of the previews. But once the film's out, I bet you a million bucks that her performance silences the early wanker critics too.  She's amazing.  (Check her out in "Happy Endings". She can do sexually-confident siren like nobody.)

But yeah, I can see Heath getting a supporting actor nod!

Joker is such a showier part than Batman that it's relatively easy to "steal the film" in such a role.  (Not to take anything away from Christian Bale, who is also a great actor.)  The same was said for Nicholson and Pfeiffer in their villian parts — that they stole the picture from Michael Keaton, who (no fault of his own) was stuck in the straight-man good-guy role.

And it's also pretty common for the Academy to reward passed-over actors with an award for the next thing they do.  Denzel Washington comes to mind...

I think Maggie is more than decent in the trailer, we'll get a better look when WB releases the legitimate trailer tomorrow.  I was always amazed at the attack that were directed at Maggie's look, it's not as if Katie Holmes is a striking beauty, in fact, I think they look alike.

Over on the movie game, we just had the example of Jimmy Stewart receiving the Academy Award for The Phildelphia Story (1940) after being passed over for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939). But somehow, I really don't see a role like "the Joker" coming into the Academy's consciousness for an award, no matter how great Heath is. Has any "comic book" type movie ever won anything from the Academy? Just wondering...

I think Heath may well be the actor who breaks through that comic book barrier.  There was such a tight race between him and Philip Seymour Hoffman that I could see many Academy members wishing to reward him now for this star turn.  Unless there is some sort of backlash from all the hype going on over TDK, or if another actor's performance comes along to eclipse it, I think there's an excellent chance he'll be nominated and even win.

I had no idea either. In fact, you all, this is what finally made me realize that this whole Joker thing is BIG: I bought the UK Total Film magazine today to de-stress from the mad holidays preparation dash. And it turns out they've got a section on (in their opinion) the 50 greatest movie heros and 50 greatest villains of all time. Probably judged on a mix of the impact of the chilling villainy of character, the acting, the franchise... I don't know, but at any rate they're talking big-time "icons" here.

The villain part has these 3 in the top:

3. Hannibal Lechter
2. Darth Vader
1. The Joker (Accompagnied by a big pic of Joker-Heath, and a tiny one of Jack Nicholson's ditto)

Well then. If he beats out those two other guys, even I have to realize this is intensely huge movie-making (and money-making).

That was what I was thinking of too, when I first mentioned this some pages back. They might reward him for this since they hadn't the guts to give his Ennis his rightful due.  >:(

As for the Oscar chances in general, I was thinking about Captain Jack Sparrow too. He's the next thing to a comic character isn't he - based on some Disney park attraction... So I wouldn't put it past the Academy to figure they'll show how incredibly broad-minded they are  ::), nominating Heath for this. I can't manage to drum up the least bit of enthusiasm for that prospect, though. The Academy as a body is a bunch of bigoted morons, and being honoured by them.... *big shrug*
That's my personal opinion and I still stick to it.

Yup, I agree with all of you about this. If TDK lives up to the hype.
Just for discussion's sake: If they gave Heath one of these statues for the Joker, I would sure be happy for Heath, but ... I would also be somewhat anrgy. He deserves better than to get an Oscar as consolation prize. He damned earned it for his portayal of Ennis, and he was so robbed of it  >:(

(Bitter? Resentful? Moi? - NOOoooooooooo  ;))


BTW: Adia posted a link to the trailer which works at the moment (9.30pm CET): http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35061 (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35061)

Yesterday, when I saw it the first time, I saw a glimpse of Heath in the Joker in one shot, but couldn't put my finger on it. It's the split-second we see him standing front of prison bars, the shot has a blue-ish color and the Joker wears a blue shirt (I think), no coat. Damn, I can't make a sceeenshot of it and post the pic here  :( Does anyone else can? I would love to post this pic here.

Anyway, not I know why this split-second reminds me of Heath: it's the thing he does with his arms; he fiddles with them.

The whole thing with this "consolation prize" theory, or righting a past wrong...sometimes it takes years. Look how long Martin Scorsese waited to get his "Best Director" Oscar...27 years! (Raging Bull was his first best director nom, in 1980). And then there are the folks who never get the award they deserve and end up getting those honorary lifetime achievement awards as the biggest consolation prize of all. I can't think of an exact name right now--help me out, someone?

And while some actors and actresses get nominated lots, and win lots, and continue to have fabulous careers, for others, winning an Oscar is the kiss of death. Even though I agree with Chrissi -- Heath was robbed! -- part of me believes that was not necessarily a bad thing.

PS...my son went to see "I Am Legend" this afternoon (not at an IMAX theater). I'll give all of you his report of the trailer when he gets home.

Jake is in there somewhere (I've already forgotten his number! LOL). Lower than Heath, in the 30s, I think. Hugh Jackman was number 15! (That made me happy). And Snavel, James McAvoy is on there somewhere (I've forgotten his number, too!).

I think the setup of the list is a pain in the neck, which is why I am forgetting the numbers so fast. Oh well, enjoy clicking through the photos, folks.

I mean they have Daniel Radcliffe for god's sake, and he's barely legal.  And Emma Watson, she's only 17!

And thanks Oilgun, for the link to the 6-minute scene. That really sent shivers down my spine too, but rather because it confirmed my earlier fears that I'm probably not going to like the film at all. The kind of sadistic horrible cruelty put on display in this (early?) scene - and just for entertainment purposes - makes me plain sad and nauseous. And if this is the start, I can only guess what the rest of the film will be like. *sigh* I will probably watch the film, because of Heath, but I am afraid that I may very much regret doing so.  :-\  :-\

I used to be a big, big fan of Elijah Wood's  - his role in Sin City changed that. I thought it very sad and disappointing that anyone would gleefully play that kind of role, a role with no redeeming value, - and no message the movie had to convey at all -  just for "entertainment" purposes. A role that could only serve to accustom audiences to portrayals of sadistic cruelty "for the fun of it" and make them numb to the true horror of finding enjoyment in such depictions. Where's the entertainment in seeing sadism put on display?  :-\

Now I really fear my admiration for Heath is going to go the same way.  :-\

I know I'm one of very few people seeing it that way by now, everyone's so used to it - but I don't aim to see lots of this type of movie in order to get used to this kind of thing, ever.


My admiration for movie!Ennis will remain for ever, though.  :-*

Links are fine, just not the pictures if they don't fit in the guidelines here at Bettermost (full frontal nudity).

However, I went to ONTD and went back for quite a few days and didn't see any Heath pictures.  :( Unfortunately, that site doesn't have a search function.

ONTD = Oh No they didn't, it's a gossip site.

This is the link to the site, sorry I don't have the time to go back and find the specific post just now. Perhaps someone else has it bookmarked?

Here it is, you wanna scroll down to the end for the Heath pics - be prepared for (or warned about) quite a lot of half-nekkid men before you get down to business with our guy.

Meanwhile, Heath is out and about filming his *next* movie already.

This post here nearly gave me a heart attack at first - but it's only about the next film, so don't be afraid. Nevertheless, relatively disturbing imagery here:

Probably best you stay away from the Heathness until we tell you it's safe to go back into the water-don't want you to become a Heathhater!  ;D

I have to confess I am grossing myself out by my fast-building attraction to The Joker. I appreciate and am very excited by the positive buzz surrounding my man but, like Mika, the ick and distress factor is also present.

Oh, I'll never be a Heathhater - don't you worry.  :) The man gave me Ennis, I will always love him for that. BUT the Joker looks like it may well lose him my respect from here on out - which means I'll probably stop seeing his films and stop following his career. He may count the loss of a few fans like me (who despise "stylish" sadistic cruelty presented as entertainment) small change compared to the huge masses of Joker-hungry fanboys he'll obviously gain in our stead......  :-\

But let's not rush to conclusions. The Batman thing is not out yet, - in the meantime "I'm not there" will finally premiere here in the back of beyond on January 18, and you may be absolutely sure I'll rush off to see that one without delay! It sounds absolutely great and very intrieguing - if it wasn't for Heath, I'd still have hurried to get to see Cate Blanchett.  :)

I'll agree with you oin the Patroit, but otherwise we obviously have a very different definition of "cheap stuff". Casanova looks and is anything but cheap, - the gorgeous views of old Venice alone is rich enough to thrill - and A Knight's Tale is delightful, and my favourite Heath film next to Brokeback.

In my view, "cheap" rather would be yielding one's considerable talent to big franchises that earn huge bucks from thrilling and accustoming the general movie-going audiences to increasingly high levels of senseless inventive violence put on display for the mere "fun of it".

I am very excited about seeing Heath portray such an iconic character as the Joker but I also have concerns.  If it's as successful as all the signs seem to indicate it will be, his career will catapult into the higher stratosphere.  That's not necessarily a good thing.  Look what Titanic did to Leo DiCaprio, he's been quoted as saying that the film's massive popularity actually hurt his career. 

Hopefully, Heath will be mature and level headed enough to work for his art and hopefully will remain grounded enough to continue choosing roles that challenge him and surprise and entertain us.

I can understand that! I absolutely loved Leo as an actor in Gilbert Grape and a couple of other early things. And then Titanic -- well, I didn't hate him, but I kind of lost interest in him, and didn't regain it until The Departed and Blood Diamond.

Heath talents are really wasted on these films but do not get me wrong. I love them. I mean Casanova and Knight Tale. He is also a very hot young man who has full right to be an eye candy in a big budget blockbusters. But I am pleased by the diversity and the direction his role choosing has developed lately.
I just can't get enough of him. He is so talented. :-*

I think Heath is very similar to Johnny Depp in this respect.  I can see him doing eccentric character-actor roles in huge hits (but never becoming a generic/whitebread straight-man star such as Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson used to be). And still doing independent art-house projects too.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Meryl on December 18, 2007, 11:55:56 pm
John Gallagher and I went to see "I Am Legend" today at the IMAX, and of course, the 6-minute preview of "The Dark Knight."  What a difference from seeing it on a tiny computer screen!  :P

The long sequence of the bank robbery started with a helicopter shot of Chicago that zeroed in on one high-rise, and I got vertigo as it flew over a street and the camera looked straight down.  An impressive aerial shot followed some crooks rappelling across the chasm onto the bank's roof from a building across the street.  After that, the IMAX advantage was lessened, as it became a regular heist story with lots of violence.  Everything was just really BIG.  The crooks all wore clown masks, so you never saw their faces.  The very last clown pulled off his mask before escaping in a schoolbus, and it was Heath, looking wonderfully pasty and mad as a hatter.  His line was almost covered by the music, but it sounded very un-Ennisy to say the least.  ;)

There was a quick look at him on the street as the Batmobile drove past him, then mostly shots of Batman on his motorcycle and standing on a rooftop (great, iconic shot).  It ended with the Bat signal being smashed.  The seriousness of the approach is what sets this and the other Christopher Nolan Batman film apart from the earlier, less realistic efforts.  I like that it has more weight.

Oddly, there was absolutely no vocal crowd reaction to the Prologue.  I had expected some fanboy cheering or some applause, but nothing.  John thought that it was because everyone was so impressed, but I wondered if it was just because it's been so over-hyped that people were already kind of over it.  My feeling about it was that it was well done, but it was still a standard shoot-em-up story.  The trailer that's being shown in non-IMAX theaters actually has more of the Joker and is much more intriguing.  THAT would have played really well on the IMAX screen.  That first closeup of the Joker, 70 feet high, would be amazing.   8)

We both liked "I Am Legend," mostly because we had a great time identifying all the New York locations and seeing how they'd made them look decayed and abandoned.  Very impressive!  Also, Will Smith did a terrific job with the character, at first showing his surface calm and self-sufficiency, then gradually revealing his inner terror and psychological pain.  There were lots of holes in the story that John and I made a list of over dinner afterwards, but we both agreed it was worth the sixteen bucks.  :)

My regular theater is in Oak Park, which is just outside Chicago's western border. Adult non-IMAX tickets after 6 p.m. are $8 (though I usually see matinees, $5.50).

Thanks for the report about your IMAX experience, Meryl.    I have watched the trailer online and I am so excited for Heath.  I think he is fantastic!  He is a chameleon and I have no doubt that he is very grounded and calculating when it comes to what film choices he makes.  He is not in it for the money he is a serious actor who loves what he does and makes movies for the challenge.  He said he figured out in 5 seconds how he was going to approach doing the Joker. Chris Nolan had faith in him and left him alone to figure it all out.  And Heath didn't disappoint!     If I can get this excited from a trailer then imagine what it will be like when we see the entire movie!

I would love to see it with other fans.

Have you heard about the rumour that Heath may back out of 'Tree of Life' and that Brad Pitt is considering taking over his role?  What I find odd is, a few days ago, it was reported that Pitt said on Charlie Rose's show that he'll be doing a small role for 'Tree of Life', but suddenly a few days later, he may replace Heath.  I am gutted but if it turned out to be true, I think itd be due to conflict of schedule as Heath is now filming the Terry Gilliam film, I doubt it can finish by early next year.

I love Brad but honestly he is not as good actor as Heath. And I was a huge BP fan for almost 12 years.

It is Brad's curse that every male actor outshines him in acting in his movies. Like Ed Norton, Eric Bana and most recently Casey Affleck.

Aaaaanyway, I'm quietly excited because I saw that Entertainment Weekly presented two different lists of their "10 Best Movies of the year" ('tis certainly the season for all those lists of "best and worst of everything") and;

Both the "Best Movie" lists include I'm not There and Zodiac! (The former even top of the list in the one case).

I think that's just so wonderful.... and I'm looking so much forward to eventually, at long last, finally getting to see "I'm not there" towards the end of January!!

Actually, Oilgun, I think that's part of why Heath is so (notoriously) sartorially suspect!  He doesn't want to feel trapped in a pinup-boy's body, typecast, and eclipsed by his looks the way Brad has been . . .

Wow, what a negative perspective! There's no "poor boys" involved in getting their latest films on the top ten quality film lists of the year, significant films where they played major / lead roles and got a lot of positive critical acclaim.

It's not to their detriment at all that the films had other good actors and roles as well. I'm sure neither of the guys would think so.

Heath seems to be keeping a low profile, wherever he is.


Heath was in London filming the new Terry Gilliam movie earlier in Dec, there was rumour that he was in Perth last week, other than that, we don't know whereabout is he now.

A fantastic interview of Chris Nolan by the Wizard Entertainment in which Nolan talked extensively about Heath and the Joker:

Quote
Even with the investigative skills of the Dark Knight Detective, it might be tough to track down Christopher Nolan these days.

The director hasn’t been in a fixed city—or even the same continent—for more than a few weeks at a time since filming began in April 2007 on “The Dark Knight,” the highly anticipated sequel to the $371 million-grossing “Batman Begins.” With that kind of high-dollar return, Warner Bros. pretty much opened the globe to Nolan and star Christian Bale for the follow-up. By filming everywhere from Chicago to London to Hong Kong, Nolan’s broadened the scope of the Bat-verse as he readies for a July 18 opening. And that wider vision includes a hyper-creepy take on Batman’s greatest rogue, the Joker—played by Heath Ledger—and backup baddie Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, the district attorney-turned-scarred killer Two-Face.

Nolan finally stayed put long enough to give away his filming location in England—by the time you read this he’ll have moved again, this time to the editing bay—and chat about the new villains, the appearance of Harley Quinn and why he might not return for a third Bat-movie!

WIZARD: Obviously, fans can’t wait to see the Joker onscreen, but why add Two-Face as a major villain in “Dark Knight”? Are you worried it may take the edge off Joker a bit?

NOLAN: Certainly there’s always a danger in a sequel by introducing more characters. You can wind up with a very large story. But at a certain point, you start to think that that’s partly the purpose of a sequel—to expand the story that you started telling and carry it on. It expands, too, for all of the characters. You’re doing it in all different directions, and so I think you quite naturally end up with quite a larger story. It’s going to be a tricky balance keeping everything in proportion, but the challenge is what it’s all about.

What challenge do you think the Joker poses for Batman as a character?

NOLAN: The Joker, in his own way, is as much an icon as the Dark Knight is and that presents us with just a tremendously exciting opportunity in terms of how we carry on our story and continue to explore the point of view of the character because, as I said, he is as almost as much an icon as Batman himself. It’s a pretty terrifying spectacle, and he’s a really fascinating character.

When casting a “terrifying spectacle” of a character like the Joker, why choose Heath Ledger?

NOLAN: I was looking for someone who was fearless. knew that I needed a fantastic actor, but I also knew that I needed someone who wasn’t going to worry about comparisons to any other actors who had played the role. I met with Heath before we even actually had a script. We talked about ideas for who the character would be in this movie as opposed to his previous appearances in movies, and we both saw it in the same way. He’s just an incredible, incredible actor, and if you see “Brokeback Mountain,” it’s an amazing performance from a young actor. It’s just this sort of youthful energy that he has and the kind of intensity that he brings to this process has been pretty extraordinary to watch.
 
How early on did you start to think that you wanted Heath for the role?

NOLAN: I think that it was before we even had a finished draft of the script. I had actually met with Heath a couple of times over the years for different projects, but nothing that seemed to work for us. Then this came up, and he heard that I was going to be doing the character in the next movie. He asked about it and we got together.

Initially, the announcement of Heath as the Joker seemed to polarize fans. Were you worried at all about that reaction?

NOLAN: Oh, not particularly. Jack Nicholson did a very definitive portrayal of a type of Joker; a version of the Joker in the [Tim] Burton film that has lasted as an icon. We were always going to come up against that so I didn’t particularly worry about it. Also, Heath is one of those actors who, in his best work, completely transforms himself and that sort of consumes his star quality. He’s creating something that’s entirely original for himself and so he’s never done anything like this before. I can’t say that I was hugely surprised or worried about the reaction because whoever we would’ve cast, it’s going to be tough for people to know how the palette is going to work. Particularly with Heath, who’s dredging something up from a side of himself that you’ve never seen before.

You portray Batman as a feasible character in your films. In that sense, in a practical Batman world, how is the Joker going to operate?

NOLAN: We worked on a particular tone to the way we were capturing Batman, Gordon [and] all the people that appeared in the film. So then it’s about how you view the icon of the Joker. How do you put him into that world? For me, he immediately becomes a more realistic character. He becomes more, I guess, “realistic” is the word I come back to. We want to create a villain who, as colorful and eccentric as he is, it’s still coming from a place of psychological reality. It’s coming from a recognizable, everyday reality. So the notion of the Joker as the most extreme form of anarchist, the most frightening form of anarchic, chaotic presence in Gotham, that’s very much the starting point for the character and very much what the character has become.

Is that where the scarred look of the Joker comes from? It’s more along the lines of the practical aspect of the movie.

NOLAN: Yeah! Things have to fit in tonally with the other elements of our world. I know that there are certain elements from the comics that don’t fit and some that do. The advantage that we had in writing the script for this film is we just have this great body of work from 65 years of all these different talented writers and artists who’ve tried different interpretations and different ways of looking at these characters.

Heath sounds terrifying when he speaks in the trailer; was that what you expected?

NOLAN: It’s nothing like we expected at all, which is just fantastic. It’s very hard to describe and very hard to pin down. He’s just got an incredible range to the voice and the way in which he uses it. It goes from being quite high-pitched and eccentric to having these sort of moments of extraordinary anger and power where you just feel this guy’s anger at things. He’s very charismatic, but really quite frightening.

Do we get to see the origins of that frightening character in the film?

NOLAN: Without giving too much away, the way that I can describe it is that we don’t show the origin of the Joker, we show the rise of the Joker. It’s slightly a different thing. The whole movie is founded quite strongly on the basis [of an idea] at the end of “Batman Begins” when Ra’s Al Ghul talks about escalation. He talks about the increasingly bizarre and criminal reaction to Batman and the extremity of what Bruce Wayne is doing as Batman.
 
I’ve heard you say you and the writing team went back to the Joker’s first appearances to capture that essence of the character in the new film. What about that version of the Joker did you like?

NOLAN: It’s really a bit of everything. Funnily enough, we didn’t go back to the origins consciously. I’d probably looked at them years before we were working up the story, and what we found was that we had a lot of very similar elements. There is a murderous quality to him. He’s a criminal, but he has this great delight in his murderous nature and there’s the great siege of a massively destructive, anarchic force in the way that guy looks at the world which is quite amazing, I think. He’s very much the absolute. That’s what we’ve presented in the film. He is an absolute.

Word is we see the Joker’s sidekick and girlfriend Harley Quinn make an appearance in the film. Or is that just all a rumor?

NOLAN: It’s all a rumor, yeah. [Laughs]

Now, how has Bruce Wayne and Batman evolved since “Batman Begins,” and what’s changed about Christian Bale’s actual portrayal of the character?

NOLAN: The basic difference obviously is that he’s now a more fully formed character. We tried to get there by the end of “Batman Begins.” Now we just jump into it with Batman as a more fully formed Batman. So the story moves on from Bruce Wayne and the death of his parents and the tragedy that happened to him as a child. This is much more about how he and his actions are influencing the world around him, how Gotham is changing because of Batman and how Batman is responding to that.

Maggie Gyllenhaal replaces Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes in the sequel. What makes Maggie so perfect for the role?

NOLAN: I’ve always loved Maggie’s work. I’ve always looked for an opportunity to cast her in something, and when Katie dropped out it seemed like a perfect match because we needed a character for our story. I think Maggie brings a lot of very attractive qualities to the character and has a great maturity. You really believe her in this role.

As a teaser, can you tell us who the first and last characters to speak in the film are?

NOLAN: I’m trying to think if I can answer that…to be honest, the first person to speak is an unnamed character and the last person to speak…I don’t think I should say. I’ll be honest. I hope that doesn’t screw you completely.

Fair enough. In terms of existing teasers, though, you guys have been great about doing viral marketing on the Internet. Why haven’t there been more traditional trailers?

NOLAN: I’m never comfortable with people seeing things until they’re really ready. I don’t like showing footage, whether it’s the studio, whether it’s to fans, whether it’s to family members. I don’t really like showing people things until I know they’ve been worked on and finished.

Speaking of “finishing,” is this film the last for you on the Batman franchise? It’s been a big part of your life for the last half decade.

NOLAN: [Laughs] That’s right! It’s really tough for me to ever talk about future projects. Films particularly of this scale are such mammoth propositions. I never thought that I would do a second “Batman” film. Let me put it that way. I had no thought of doing a second one when I was doing the first one, but obviously you never say, “Never.” Every film I’m working on, however, to me is generally the last film I’m ever going to make. That’s my approach to making film. It’s one of the reasons actually that I’m not comfortable putting footage out or early trailers because I’m engaged in making one thing at a time. I’m very single-minded and very focused on the task at hand and I do focus on just this movie. I really don’t have anything in my head about what’s next or doing another one or whatever.

So it’s not just you being evasive? You’re not trying to say nothing?

NOLAN: Yeah. It’s a tricky thing. I’m always terribly evasive when I’m talking about [Heath] and it’s not that really. It’s just actually very difficult to describe really, that this youthful, energetic, anarchic portrayal is quite frightening. It’s complicated. I think it’s getting out there slowly and people are getting the idea of it, which is fun. It’s as exciting for me because I’m watching it play itself out. But until we actually put it all together, sit there and watch it with my editor, I’m incredibly excited about doing that and I think it’s going to have quite an effect.

Interesting little news item....

Radcliffe Beats Notable Actors for Role

While I don’t think anyone would argue that Daniel Radcliffe has turned out to be perfect for the once-in-a-lifetime role of Harry Potter, it’s nice to see the actor stretching himself beyond the single franchise. Proving he can be a member of the Hollywood elite, Radcliffe has beaten much more proven actors like Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom for the role of photojournalist Dan Eldon, reports WENN.

The movie, titled Journey, will focus on the Somalian civil war. Eldon was one of four journalists who found themselves in Somalia at the time of the uprising and wound up stoned to death in 1993. The movie is based on a compilation of Eldon’s journals.

Eldon’s mother, Kathy, told the press that she felt Radcliffe was the perfect choice for the role to play her son because ”Dan was a boy emerging into manhood.” I’m not sure I’d be bragging much about that being the rationale behind the casting if I was Radcliffe, but he should welcome the opportunity to continue to build as an actor. I’ve heard good things about the briefly released December Boys, and Radcliffe’s growth over the course of the Harry Potter movies has definitely shown he has potential.

I found this in an Australian newspaper. I question it's veracity since it says that Heath "divorced his wife" (Michelle) back in August. So maybe it is all complete hogwash. But in an effort to keep everyone informed, here it is:


By ninemsn staff

Heath Ledger and supermodel Gemma Ward are dating, according to witnesses and friends in their hometown of Perth.

The couple were spotted at parties in Perth over the Christmas holidays and the actors' relatives have told friends the pair are together, the Daily Telegraph reports.

"They weren't all over each other but they were sitting together and looked like they were together," a source told the newspaper.

The two actors, who are both based in the US, reportedly came to Perth to spend the holidays with family and were seen at a wine bar in Fremantle on Boxing Day.

In November, the New York Post had reported that Ledger was following the model "everywhere".

"He somehow finds out where she is going to be and then miraculously shows up to the parties or bars where she is," an insider said.

Ward will make her big screen debut, alongside Toni Collette and Rhys Wakefield, in the Australian film about autism The Black Balloon to be released here in March.

The 20-year-old model was named tenth on the list of the World's 15 top-earning supermodels by Forbes magazine last year.

Ledger divorced his wife and Brokeback Mountain co-star Michelle Williams last August.

The pair had one child together, two-year-old Matilda.

L - wouldn't it be more correct to say "the pair have one child together" - or is had right because the actual birthing is over...?

It is not an issue of the birth, but whether "pair" is considered singular or plural...and when it is referring to people, apparently it can be either. This is from dictionary.com

Pair signifying two individuals can take either a singular or plural verb, but it is usually followed by a plural verb and referred to by a plural pronoun: The guilty pair have not been seen since their escape.

So either "had" or "have" would be correct.

I think it's not that the actual birthing is over, but that the pair is over. If the sentence read "The pair have one child together," it would sound like they were still a pair.

I think singular is more technically correct, but it just sounds too weird -- "the pair has one child together."

Had is past tense, which probably implies that the pair is over, they had a baby, and is correct since pair can be singular or plural (in this case singular).

Has, by itself (not as a helper verb) is present tense, and would imply that they are still together. The same with have (which is plural)..."The pair have a child together" would imply they are still together.

So, probably, all in all, "The pair had a child together" is the best usage.

Funny, they can get their grammar correct but not their facts! LOL

Betty, your English is so good.  Same for Chrissi, Mel, Fabienne, Mikaela (who also was missed on that little list).

Back to HeathHookUp conjecture.  It was also reported that he was/is seeing Lily Cole.  Who knows.  He ain't seeing me.

I had dinner tonight with a group of people, one of whom works with the One Foundation.  She was throwing names around like Bono and Puff Daddy, and I kept wanting to ask her if she'd met Heath, but I could pre-hear what my voice would sound like and I couldn't ask.  :)

I think singular is more technically correct, but it just sounds too weird -- "the pair has one child together."


Ha ha. Just the opposite for this non-native speaker. To me "the pair have" sounds strange, because it's only one pair, therefore singular. But I'm happy "the pair has" is at least not wrong, even if it sounds strange to native speakers.
And yes, I always enjoy any grammar or vocabulary lesson.
You have no idea how much my English has improved since I'm a regular on boards where English is the main language (but somtimes it leads to funny mistakes on my side in pronouncing a word - ask Leslie or Louise. For example, I pronounced 'dough' like 'tough'  :laugh:).

Had is past tense, which probably implies that the pair is over, they had a baby, and is correct since pair can be singular or plural (in this case singular).

Has, by itself (not as a helper verb) is present tense, and would imply that they are still together. The same with have (which is plural)..."The pair have a child together" would imply they are still together.

So, probably, all in all, "The pair had a child together" is the best usage.

Funny, they can get their grammar correct but not their facts! LOL

Yes, very interesting. But to me the 'had a child together' means that 'the having of a child' was in the past. That's not true, they still have a child together, even if they are not together anymore... :(

Hmmm, of course, I'm not expert. Maybe it depends on what you want to stress, the pair being over, or the parenting not being over.

And in Dutch (just in case anyone is interested) 'the pair' is always followed by a singular verb. 'Het paar heeft'

That reminds me of the funny scene in Stranger Than Fiction when the Will Ferrell character brings the Maggie Gyllenhaal character a dozen 'flours' -- 12 assorted bags of flour (she was a baker). A cute visual pun on a dozen flowers (ie, a bouquet).

Overall I liked it, yes, although I felt like it started to drag in the last third. While Cate Blanchett was excellent, I felt like her "episode" as Jude Quinn started to get repetitious. I didn't entirely understand the Richard Gere episode. The other episodes: Marcus Carl Franklin (Woody Guthrie), Christian Bale (Jack Rollins), and Heath (Robbie Clark) were all excellent with Ben Whishaw, as Arthur Rimbaud, the poet, as the glue that held everything together.

I am glad I saw it in the theater because there is alot going on on the screen. Watching DVDs at home, I find my attention wanders. I am more focused in the theater.

Leslie, thanks for that.  As it is not shown here, I will have to wait for DVD.  I am really curious about Cate because she is the one garnering almost all praise at the beginning, everyone is dazed by her performance, but I see that the review has somewhat changed a bit, I am beginning to see more reviews that talk about Heath, Christian Bale etc.  But the general consensus seems to be people are baffled by Richard Gere's segment.

Apparently, Bob Dylan had a role in Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, directed by Sam Peckinpah. That must explain the Richard Gere part of the movie (somewhat). I never saw that movie and have never been a big Peckinpah fan, so no wonder that part of the movie flew right by me!

Dylan did the music for the movie and the most memorable song was "Knocking on Heaven's Door."

I have known a few Bob Dylan songs only.  But I knew and loved Knocking on Heaven's Door, I was introduced to this song by a TV movie John Cusack produced and acted for HBO - The Jack Bull.  John got Dylan's consent to use it at the end of the film - it was very poignant and heartbreaking.

Stripes! Stripes!   :)  ;D

Follow this link and re-visit various oldies and goldies among Heath's favourite pieces of clothing -the lilac "dopey" hat and the red-and black striped fingerless mittens among them - and a whole new set of thrilling striped socks! What can you do but admire his continuously carefree but consistent "grab on to whatever striped stuff lies about" style?

(Scroll a bit down for a lot of various pics taken at the same time)

http://justjared.buzznet.com/2008/01/07/heath-ledger-stripe/

This has to be related to the filming of the current film ("The Imaginarium...etc") since Lily Cole (yuck!!) is there. (At least I hope it's to do with the film, and doesn't mean that they're dating like gossip would have it. 'Cause I seriously can't stand her, she reminds me of some emaciated empty-eyed doll-like Lolita-wannabe.)

Aaaanyway, Heath's wearing his own clothes, no doubt about that. So it can't be from a film scene. Or....

Perhaps Terry Gilliam figured that giving Heath free rein in just dressing himself for his part would lead to the most original possible outfit, - one his costume people couldn't even hope to equal?  ;D

The comments on those JustJared pics are interesting. This particular one, from an anonymous poster, seemed apropos of our "Heath bathing" adventure a few weeks ago. I have no clue has this person got this info, I am just posting!


Heath’s actually a really clean person, just doesn’t spend a lot of time coiffing and sometimes doesn’t bother to shave. But he is washed. He smells softly masculine (really sexy) with a hint of ciggy. He’s also very well grounded, and in a one-on-one situation, he listens intently, speaks thoughtfully & intelligently, and very softly. He pretty much has himself together and is fairly self-assured in who he is, doesn’t really worry what anyone else thinks, and lacks affectation and pretention.

He’s also a brilliant businessman, which few people know.

Anyone else think Mr. Ledger looks really handsome with the beard and mustache he's sporting for this role? He looks so... masculine, with a hint of exotic, or sumphum'.

So while I keep hoping that Jake will ditch his beard soonish (makes him look so *old* IMO) I'm kind of hoping Heath might hang on to his. But I guess not - his tonsorial quirkiness habits considered....

You could be on something here. I asked myself the same thing, but then explained it with the fact that I mostly get TDK news through the HHH thread here. So it's logical everything is focused on the Joker/Heath.
But after your comment, I did a quick google image search. Just typed "The Dark Knight" and looked at the pics coming up. The results affirm your thoughts.

Ok, that's not exactly rocket science (  ;D), but it's still surprising.

I think it's the marketing strategy to focus on Joker at this stage, because Nolan has made such drastic changes in the look of the Joker that they need the Batman fans and the public to get used to this version.  I doubt the Joker's screen time will be more than Batman since there is also Aaron Eckrat's Two Face as the other villain.  But if Heath's performance is as good as the trailer indicates, I'm sure he'll be able to steal the show.

By the way, the #3 image (the other WhySoSerious poster) is a manip, it's strange that Rotten Tomatoes includes it in the photo gallery.

And we all know basically what Batman looks like. And the costumed Batman in those photos could have been Christian Bale or Micheal Keaton or George Clooney. But Heath's Joker is so striking and scary, and such a departure from Nicholson's Joker, that he really piques your curiosity.

Heath's body language in those pix is interesting. He looks so consciously posed and dramatic and Jokerlike. So un-Ennislike!  :laugh:

Let's see, there were 4 years in between A Knight's Tale (2001) and Casanova (2005), so based on that it seems we should be due for a romantic comedy release in 2009.  On the other hand, there were seven movies in between the two (Monster's Ball, Four Feathers, Ned Kelly, The Order, Lords of Dogtown, Brothers Grimm, Brokeback Mountain) and right now we have only four movies since Casanova (Candy, I'm Not There, The Dark Knight, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus).  The picture gets even more grim if you want to argue that A Knight's Tale was not supposed to be a romantic comedy... 10 Things I Hate About You was in 1999.... but I suppose A Knight's Tale and Casanova are sort of equally romantic comedies...


well, it's much easier on the brain to look at Heath than follow my own logic, lol...

And Tree of Life has been deleted from Heath's profile at imdb, there's no other film listed after this Terry Gilliam film.  Perhaps Heath is taking another break before he takes on new roles again.

I have to agree with Leslie about romantic comedy, that's quite disappointing but what can you do when you're a Heathen!

Y'know, I've avoided seeing Casanova because I think I'd be too depressing.  All these beautiful women glomming all over him, while I'm sitting in a dumb chair eating greasy popcorn . . .

It wasn't a drag for any of yall that way?

Nah, he has some very alluring smiles, and does some fun physical comedy/adventure.  And my favorite scene he is lying on a couch mulling what to do about his predicament, and there are no ladies about.  It's a farce.

In my memory there isn't actually all that much with the ladies, really.  I mean it's not just that, not at all.  And there's Venice, looking very beautiful.  I think you would enjoy it, Laura.

Heath is so beautiful in Casanova (even though I am not too fond of the wig), I practically didn't pay attention to the story in the first 20 minutes the first time I watched the film.  I love this film, this is not serious as BBM, but it's a lot of fun and there are some heart-wrenching scenes in it.  And I definitely think this is very good for Heath to unwind the tension of filming BBM.

Yep-well worth watching. Some of the "under the breath" dialogue is a hoot. Heath said in an interview that in hindsight he wishes he had not played it so lowkey and would do it differently given another chance. He did use it as a wind-down from BbM.

Post by: Mikaela on January 15, 2008, 08:43:58 am
I'm putting in another vote in favour of Casanova.  :)


In fact, some time ago I wrote a review-in-brief of all the Heath films I've seen to date in my LJ; they're listed in consequtive order from "best" to "worst". I figured I might post it here. Gives my view of Casanova too, which is positive. Remember though if you decide to read this - I love Heath as an actor even if I think some of the films he's acted in are less than stellar.  (I've not seen "I'm not there" yet but it premieres next week so I'll get to see it soon!! Yay!)


My reviews-in-brief - ranked by best to worst in my entirely subjective opinion:

Brokeback Mountain -

Well duh. My favourite film. My favourite Heath role. I love love love love love and admire his Ennis. I love and admire everything and everybody in the film or involved with its making. I could go on and on for ever, here, about every aspect from the overall message via acting and characterization to the perfect little details of the set decoration. Jack and Ennis are my favorite romantic film couple and it seems they’ll remain so; - the film has the most passionate film kiss/love scene *ever*. In my *slightly* biased opinion, that is. ;-) Both Heath and the film were robbed of their respective Oscars. Nuff said.

A Knight’s Tale –

Big Fun, and *stays* fun upon repeat viewings. The only film of his I'd seen prior to Brokeback. A real feel-good'er. Lots of lovable hilarious sidekicks, lots of Paul Bettany at the top of his form and much of the time in the nude to boot. The kind of sappy story that lets the hero win the princess and half the kingdom in the end after lots of setbacks and still makes you like him. Heath’s William Thatcher is a nice character that it’s easy to cheer on. Good stunts and action, a nasty evil villain you love to hate, lots of fun anachronisms starting with everyone belting out “We will rock you”. On the downside the heroine is not given much to work with, poor dear, - she’s supposed to be feisty and independent, but evaluating guys and falling in love seems to be pretty much all she’s ever on about, and her various quips and comebacks are the lamest *ever*. Fie, fie on the scriptwriters!! And on the costume makers too, as her costumes are the only truly *silly* anachronisms. (Medieval ladies *surely* wore diaphanous flimsy gowns that they were in constant danger of falling out of). William would have done *much* better hooking up with his independent, bright and inventive lady armour-maker. And William’s scenes with his father (both in past and present) are more than a tad over the top sentimental & cheesy.

Casanova –

Venice is lovely in this. It's worth watching for that alone. The comedy never takes off into wild gales of laughter, but it’s a relaxing, endearing romp and keeps making me chuckle all the same. It’s cute. Did I mention that Venice and the sets are *gorgeous*? Heath looks adorable whenever he’s sans those very silly wigs, and he certainly looks as if he’s having a grand old time. Some really good and fittingly funny supporting - as well as lead - characters. One or a couple really, really miscast actors and somb totally dumb characters. And absolutely NO TINY SMIDGEN OF CHEMISTRY WHATSOEVER between the two leads makes the rather crucial "Romantic" part of the Romantic Comedy suffer a sad and silent demise early on. (The love interest is played by Sienna Miller.)

Monster’s Ball –

I’m struggling where to place this one on the list, because I think the film overall is unsavory, and the main characters and their development, as played by Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton, are either disgusting or completely unrealistic. Or both. And there’s a horridly embarrassing sex scene between them that seems to take up half the film. Yuck. But Heath is stunning in this, his Sonny is a wonderful and heartbreaking and sad and perfectly acted role, and on that basis the film gets its high placement. Even better, all Heath’s scenes are early on in the film and he’s only in it for the first third or so, so one needn’t watch it all to see his story arch. Given the rest of the film that’s a big plus in my book.

Candy -

Another very good role and intense and gripping story. Sad and extremely painful. Certainly not an ad for the benefits of heroin addiction. Definitely not a film to watch on a down day. The film presents its leading, very-much-in-love couple mainly as addicts, not mainly as individual human beings, from the very first scene, and that diminishes the impact some. Who were they, before they started their heavy using? *Why* did they start? How did they meet? Getting a bit about that back-story before we see the first overdose would have made their characters more real as people, less symbols of addiction-ruined love and ditto damaged lives. But both lead actors are so good that they manage to make you care for them and worry over them and suffer with them anyhow.

The Sin Eater –

Heath walks around in this looking absolutely stunning and smoldering and conflicted and angsty and glowering. ** Fans self** That and that alone earns the film its place on this list. Mystic-religious, strange and darkly enigmatic drama. Plot and storyline very weird and not by any means intellectually *or* emotionally engaging, and point of same near to completely incomprehensible to me. Annoying and silly. Maybe it makes sense to devout Catholics though I sincerely doubt that. Then again, Heath’s character ends up as some self-sacrificing sort of demi-god/angel, who is destined to suffer on others’ behalf (and therefore will look stunning and smoldering and angsty etc. etc. *all* the time!!) and who will continue his existence for centuries upon centuries, looking just the same. So that’s clearly a bonus development in the middle of the muddle.

10 things I Hate About You –

The first half of this one is all good, happy and innocent fun. Another spin on the US High School comedy genre. Based on "The Taming of the Shrew", the nasty Kate is sufficiently bitchy and her comebacks have some bite, Heath’s Patric is a sufficiently devil-may-care bad boy with a good heart, and the various supporting roles are funny (I’m especially partial to Allison Janney’s constantly smut-writing school counselor. Could easily be parodying various fanfic writers I know, as she struggles to find the right, non-repetitive words for one male body part and certain physical activities. Heh. Anyway..…) And Heath sings, very sweetly! But all the air just goes out of the film balloon midway through or thereabouts, and after that it’s a loooong dry spell to get to the end, as the characters suddenly lose all their charm and kick and spark in favor of dreary droughty roooomance.

Ned Kelly –

The kind of film that wants so much more than it manages. It seems made with honest and good intent, and the Kelly Gang story, its tale of social injustice and repression, is well worth telling. (As certainly demonstrated by the Peter Carey “True History of the Kelley Gang” Booker-prize winning novel.) And in the film the tale’s definitely being decently told. It’s just so….. documentary, like. Doesn't manage to establish any real connection with the main character(s). Storytelling keeping its distance as if afraid to seem too engaged and enraged by the story it’s telling, - and with a love story tagged on that seems purely contrieved. "He's the hero, so he's *got* to have a beautiful love interest, I tell you!!!" The story never manages to reach and grip the *heart* of the viewer (at least not mine.) And is it ever muddy! Lots of grit and sand and dirt. Which is realistic, but nevertheless distracting. And sadly, though the film has not only Heath but also Orlando Bloom in a leading role, the dirt and mud and greasy hair and those massive beards every guy is sporting soon enough hides all the eye candy completely from view!

Brothers Grimm –

Good, inventive and dark SFX. Some cool scenes and imagery, a few wow! moments, and interesting premise for the film i.e. What if fairy tales were actually true? Heath’s character is really *very* cute and endearingly ditzy. And sweet. Heath nearly kisses Matt Damon. That’s it on the plus side. Story convoluted and increasingly difficult to make sense of, inconsistencies and red herrings all over the place. Images and eye-rolling scenery-chewing characters and SFX and audio are jumbled together and keeps pouring incessantly and massively into every frame to create über-hectic visuals and loudness that come across as NOISE. Visual white noise. Without pause or breathing space. Plug your ears, plug your eyes. The film gave me a horrible headache. I haven’t much of a clue what it was actually trying to convey.

Lords of Dogtown –

Heath looks dreadful. Teeth and hair from hell. Though his role is good,-  really really good, yes, - his acting is great - I’m so shallow that I can’t get past his looks in this one. And the story of the film – about a group of more or less troubled kids who revolutionized skateboarding - is interesting but would have been better served in a shorter and purely documentary version.

The Four Feathers –

I struggle to find anything positive to say about this film. The love story and the love interest are utterly silly and just horribly SHALLOW while purporting to be loving and meaningful. Heath over-acts and, you know; EMOTES and exaggerates like never before or since in the lead. The whole story is poorly told, and there’s nary a likable - or likely - character to be seen. Whenever the possibility of a really interesting or exciting scene presents itself, the film decides to skip it. Inconsistencies and plot improbabilities abound. Sentimental pompous cheesiness likewise. Glorified patriotism even more so. The tale's premise of the definition of true courage doesn't at all ring any bells with me, except historic ultra-nationalistic alarm bells. Scenes that are supposed to be tear-jerkers are nothing but unintentionally funny. And again with those dreadful *beards!* Nope. I can’t recommend this one. No wonder it bombed at the box office and took flak from reviewers.

Interesting ranking, Mikaela, and of the Heath movies I have seen, I'd agree with your list. Depending on the day and my mood, I might switch Casanova and A Knight's Tale--or maybe have them tied. Your description of Monster's Ball is absolutely on target. If I were to ever watch that movie again (which I doubt I will) I will turn it off after the Heath part.

I'll be interested to see where you put I'm Not There. For me, I think it would be fourth, after Casanova and before Monster's Ball. And then, we have The Dark Knight to look forward to! I wonder where that will end up!

And the story of the film – about a group of more or less troubled kids who revolutionized skateboarding - is interesting but would have been better served in a shorter and purely documentary version.

Funny -- there IS a documentary version of this exact same story, "Dogtown and Z Boys," directed by the same guy who wrote "Lords," Stacy Peralta, who was one of the skateboarders.

DaZB is one of two movies I own the DVDs of, the other being BBM!  :laugh: That's because my then-9-year-old son gave DaZB to me for Mother's Day (and someone else recently gave me a BBM DVD). I actually like the fictional LoD a lot better (don't tell my son).

I love LoD, partly because of Heath, who really nails the part of the aging alcoholic surfer dude who gets the skateboard revolution going but eventually loses his piece of it. I saw it before I saw BBM, and Heath's appearance wasn't of great concern to me in those days. The other actors are also good (Emile Hirsch, who recently starred in Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" is one of the kids). I'll admit, though, that my fascination is partly due to the fact that the movie really captures the flavor of my formative years in the mid-70s (Stacy Peralta was born 9 days after me, according to Wikipedia), and the soundtrack is the Music of My Youth.

I so agree with you on Monster's Ball.  If I would ever watch it again, I'll just watch until the end of Heath's part, but it was such a heart-wrenching scene, I still have to gather up the courage to watch it again.

That's so funny!  I have a friend visiting for a few days and on the weekend he wanted to watch Monster's Ball (he just discovered Billy Bob, or something).  After Heath's "exit" scene I got up and told my friend that he was on his own for the rest.  I don't hate the film like you guys seem to, it just that once Sonny is out of the picture, it's all downhill for me. 

Has anyone listened to the commentary track with the Director and Writers?   The writers keep saying that because it's been six years they don't quite remember why they did this or that.  Not very impressive at all.

I don't think I hate it, I just don't want to see it again...LOL. I didn't see it in the theater. I saw it a few years later because of McMurtry seeing Heath and saying, "That's Ennis!" But I remembered all the talk about how "great" it was (not in my book) and how "terrific" the sex scene was. Like Mikaela, I just thought it went on and on.

Since it was hard enough to get through one time, I wasn't about to watch the commentary, and now I am glad to know I didn't miss anything.

Mikaela:  My list would definitely have The Sin Eater/The Order as dead last.  I just hated that movie despite seeing a gorgeous Heath in priestly drag.  I actually had to watch it in two shifts of 3 hours each, or so it felt.  And to think that it's by the same director as A Knight's Tale. 

I didn't find The Four Feathers as awful as you did, I found it quite entertaining.  Lots of Heath suffering and almost dying of exposure and thirst.  I didn't mind the way he 'emoted' I thought he was good although he wasn't convincing at all disguised as an Arab.  The love story felt inconsequential and there was no chemistry between him and Kate Hudson who was horribly miscast.

I agree about the lack of chemistry between him and Sienna Miller in Casanova,  I thought she was the weak link in the film, but I did find the film hysterically funny.  It had me (literally) on the floor laughing more than once.

I gotta go more later maybe...

I agree with you about all the Heath movies I've seen. I really liked Casanova (Gorgeous Venice, great Heath) but you are right, absolutely no chemistry between him and Sienna Miller. Oliver Platt and Lena Olin had great chemistry though.

There was good chemistry between Heath and Charlotte Gainsbourg in I'm Not There. Heath was really good in it. But it's not a movie I need to watch again (or buy the dvd).

Oh, I agree with your opinion on The Order.  I couldn't believe it was directed by the same director as A Knight's Tale!  But Heath was really beautiful in it, it's because of him that I was barely able to finish it.

I just want to join the party and give my ranking of Heath's movies (the ones I've seen, at least)... now, I am just ranking them based on which one's I like best, not on any sort of assessment of which had the best characters, or which did he 'act the best' in, etc... e.g. I agree with everyone's comments about the shallow characters in Four Feathers but I   really like it for the scenery, and for me, that eclipses the rest of it... and as another example, I didn't like the plot of Two Hands all that much, but I really liked Heath in his role...

I won't go in to all the details right now, but sometimes I agree with you all, and sometimes not, lol.

So do I! Yes!  :)

And so must directors do - since he's been on horseback in so many films: Brokeback, of course - A Knight's Tale, equally of course - Casanova - Ned Kelly - Brothers Grimm - The Patriot - The Four Feathers. Plus probably that early TV-series or film where he's sporting Xena-series-type costumes (I've only seen images, don't know more about it.)


I'ts been interesting to read the comments to my list and reviews.   :) Some of the films I truly find about equally good, especially those in the middle of my personal list - so it's not easy to place them in order of liking. But Brokeback and Four Feathers both are very secure in their respective positions.  ;)

I was a bit surprised that noone's commented in the defense of "Brothers Grimm". I've been wondering whether I might like that one better if I re-watched it, after all it was a film with good actors and considerable resources and talent went into all aspects of its making - but then I recall the headache it gave me and it's not tempting to try.

I'm interested in hearing a bit more about "Two Hands" Anyone care to post something about it - opinions, synopsis  etc? That's the one film of Heath's I've neither seen nor have any idea whether it's goor or what it's about beyond a two-line synopsis on IMDB.

I remember that several papers here in Norway made a specific point of that in their reviews of Casanova. Bemoaning the total lack of chemistry between Heath and Sienna, and doing a contrast-and-compare to the, in their view, obvious and intense chemistry Heath had with the other lead in the film of his that preceeded Casanova. And I guess we can all agree!  ;)

I agree with most things you've said about Heath's films, Mikaela.


And I definiteively agree about Monster's Ball. I made it through the movie once (and barely so), and the next time I only watched it as long as Heath was in it.

Also The Four Feathers; what a boring, boring movie  :P

I actually liked Brothers Grimm. It was a bit confusing, but I didn't find it noisy. And you're right about Heath's chartacter, very cute and endearing.

Apart from BBM, Candy is the Heath movie I like best. Great actors, griping story.

Ned Kelly: too much beard, too few eye candy

10 Thnigs I hate about you and A Knight's Tale: nice, entertaining, but that's it.

The Patriot: overly patriotic Mel Gibson flick with a very, very young Heath (not my cup of tea) and additionally his character dies. Enough reasons to not like it.

That was me! I bought the series when it became available on DVD it's called ROAR.  It's cheesy, much like XENA, but Heath makes it more than watchable (*fans himself*).  He has a love scene with Keri Russell in the first episode, then she gets killed, but they were cute together.  They had some chemistry, which is nice.   So many of his films are notable for the lack of chemistry between him and his co-star. With the exception of Charlotte Gainsbourg, Abbie Cornish, Jake Gyllenhall, Matt Damon, Rose Byrne, Naomi Watts and maybe Julia Stiles.

Maybe I need to re-watch it myself, but I don't know if I could bring myself to do so, because I disliked Brothers Grimm even more than you did. I took my sons to see it, and we all found it really boring. My younger son kept begging to leave the theater and go see something else in the multiplex, and I couldn't blame him.

Furthermore, that being my pre-Heath era, I actually preferred Matt Damon's character! [ducks for cover  ::)]

The Bros Grimm is interesting, I think it's the type of movie that grows on you.   It was on rotation on the movie Network & I really didn't think much of it the first time I watched but everytime they screened it I felt compelled to watch it again.  I must have seen it about five times and liked it more each time.  A lot of that was due to Heath's wonderfully quirky performance of course, and the way he and Matt played off each other felt very authentic and natural.

I really enjoyed Two Hands but it's been a while since I've watched it. I can't really add more to the IMDb synopsis except that Heath is adorable as a bad-boy gangster wannabe with a heart of gold.  It's quite funny with lots of action as I recall.

fwiw, I agree with oilgun's assessment of Two Hands.

here is an excerpt from a reviewer(CB 102174) on netflix: "I admit I was skeptical when I saw ths movie a few years ago. I knew of Heath Ledger, but didn't think much of his work. But, "Two Hands" is actually a terrific movie and a welcome surprise. The story is fairly straightforward: a young man (Ledger) gets in himself into trouble and debt with a crime boss (Bryan Brown), which leads him into even more problems. It may sound serious, but there is also a great deal of dark humor that runs through the movie. In a way, it reminded of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." But, as opposed to that movie which is non-stop action and humor, "Two Hands" has funny or strange moments that come as great surprises. Ledger is fantastic and totally carries the movie. It was this performance which changed my perception of him and led me to enjoy his subsequent work. Also very strong is Bryan Brown..."

I caught the movie on Saturday afternoon t.v. one day, didn't actually catch the whole thing, must admit.  But what I like about it is the earnestness of Heath's character...  and from an acting perspective, he didn't ever seem to waiver or coast through, if that makes any sense...

Definitely no argument from me there.  They might have the best off-screen chemisty but on-screen there was absolutely zero and I found it nearly painful to watch.  Actually I think Heath has better chemistry on-screen with Sienna Miller than Naomi Watts.

Regarding Heath's other movies, I have a couple things to say:

1) Monster's Ball is only worth the first 20 minutes when Heath does an audition for Ennis.

2) I fell asleep watching Brothers Grimm.

3) Casanova was charming.

4) Candy was difficult to take.

5)  He's very briefly naked in I'm Not There.

I agree with this, except 5...

He was briefly naked, which was good, but there is other stuff, too, which was fun to watch. It was a decent Heath experience.

while I enjoyed the naked scenes as much as the next person, one of my favorite scenes was the break-up scene, when Heath's giant frame was engulfing Charlotte's...

I have to agree with you there, they really didn't work.  Who do you think Heath had chemistry with, other than Charlotte and Jake?

well, I gave it some thought.  i'm not sure I would actually use the word 'chemistry' to describe Heath and his costars in any of the other movies I've seen.  there are certainly levels of believability/convincability if you will.

Which movies was I most convinced (aside from Brokeback Moutain and I'm Not There)?  Monster's Ball (definitely).  Two Hands (pretty good).  A Knight's Tale (maybe).  The other movies all have various other good aspects, but I wouldn't say I was convinced I was watching the character (vs. watching Heath perform a role).  I thought his scenes with Sharon S. were pretty good...  in terms of Julia Stiles and Sienna Miller, I think the believability problems came as much or more from them, as him.  His love interest in The Patriot - I thought it was convincing enough for the 'childhood' romance that it was...

Comments/questions/concerns?

fwiw, I think there's a lot more involved in successful on-screen chemistry than just actor and actress... 

(If there was a 'whaddya think' cowboy icon, I would insert that here!)

Bel Air, thank you for the comments and opinion on "Two hands". Sounds interesting enough that I probably should try to get hold of it.  :)

Mika muses on "chemistry"... :)

I would agree that there is a level of believabliity in films that can either hurt or help the "chemistry" between the leads. But it's certainly a two-way street. Good chemistry - ie. the actors playing off of each other and making each other shine, and their connection blazing off the screen at us - can help make an otherwise plothole-filled bumpy story seem credible and engaging.

As I mentioned, I found the romantic relationship totally tacked-on in "Ned Kelley". Which indicates that there wasn't any strong on-screen chemistry to help make it seem real. (Weirdly enough, considering real life goings-on between Heath and Naomi....) But also to me that part of the story seemed so contrieved and invented - so the script and plot didn't help the secret lovers much in creating chemistry. I guess that's one film where the chemistry thing and the plot thing dragged each other down. (As far as a the romance went, it's not the main concern of that film, of course...)

I certainly think there was a degree of chemistry with Shannyn Sossamon in "Knight's tale" - not anywhere near the Heath/Jake levels of course, but clearly sufficient to bolster the romantic part of the comedy. I also figured that their onscreen connection in Knight's Tale was what brought them back together again in "Sin Eater" - which of course had no comprehensible story at all so the relationship between the characters there just seemed random, out of the blue, enigmatic and unfulfilled. Indifference and a shrug where there should have been angst and strong emotions on the part of the viewer.

So, apart from Brokeback, where *has* there been chemistry?

Definitely with Abby Cornish in Candy. Yes yes.

Definitely not with Sienna Miller, nor with Kate Hudson in 4 Feathers. Even when Heath and Kate were dancing or the like in 4 Feathers, they looked to be on different planets. Same with Sienna. I got the impression of an invisible but strong barrier between their characters, a barrier causing them to act their roles together in slightly alternate realities. Is there such a thing as anti-chemistry?  ???

But then there's no reason chemistry has to involve romance, is there? I think Heath and Matt Damon worked well enough together in Brothers Grimm.  :)

I think alot of this reflects Heath growing and maturing as an actor. A turning point came in "Monster's Ball," and another in BBM. Even though I didn't particularly care for "Candy" there is no denying he was excellent in that, as well as "I'm Not There." Even "Casanova," silly as it was, his acting seemed more natural and effortless. In fact, maybe I shouldn't say acting--it was more 'inhabiting the role.'

And from all we've heard, he really inhabits the role in "The Dark Knight."

I read in an interview (after BBM) that Heath said he'd made all his acting mistakes on screen. Because he had no formal training as an actor. Didn't he start as an actor in the soap Home and Away? Anyone seen that?

I love Leslie's description "inhabiting the role". That is what makes him so special-he doesn't act, he becomes. Even in the early films-thinking of 10 Things I Hate About You-one can really start to see the beginnings of that. The "acting" had some serious moments of immaturity, of course, but the man-to-be was evident. Heath seems to give 110% to everything he does (and I do mean everything  ::)).

Early on in my Brokie career, one channel showed them all day one weekend, and I TiVoed them.  I think I may have seen about 7 of them.  I normally don't watch shows of that genre, but did because of Heath.  It was "good enough." 

I enjoyed the premise and some of the recurring characters, and Heath played the young whippersnapper, thrust into being a leader by circumstances, and learning to rise to the occasion and become a benevolent and noble leader, with his loyal band supporting him.  And there's a great villain.

Heath Ledger slips into a black-and-white clown costume while filming the Terry Gilliam-directed film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus in London on Saturday.

Heath and Terry also worked together in 2005’s The Brothers Grimm.

The Brokeback Mountain star currently dating Aussie model Gemma Ward, according to UK’s The Sun. The pair were recently spotted holding hands at a restaurant in their hometown of Perth, Australia.

The restaurant manager said: “It’s pretty obvious they’re an item.”

I'm happy for you that you get to see it tomorrow. But it's not fair that I have to wait six more weeks  >:(.
I'm not there won't start in Germany before Feb, 28th.

(((Chrissi)))

It's strange that Germany, such a big country and all, isn't showing films like these earlier. Perhaps it has to do with a relatively significant home-grown film production that takes presedence?   ???  Though I will tell you, even if "I'm not there" has just premiered here and got rave reviews, it runs in a small viewing room in the movie theatre, exactly once a night.  ::) 

Oh well, once "Dark Knight" rolls around there will be showings enough, I'm sure. That's the kind of film gets folks to the cinema for sure. Which reminds me I really have to check our premiere date for that film. The only worse thing than detesting the Joker would be not getting to judge whether I detest the Joker!  :o ;)  ::)


ETA: OK, I've checked. The Dark Knight premieres in Norway on July 25, which is also the official US release date. Which means that we've got ourselves one really truly huge blockbuster, people! Only the likes of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars premiere in our little neck of the woods simultaneously with the US. OMG!!  :o ;)

Actually, the US release date is July 18, 2008, one week earlier.

Early on in my Brokie career, one channel showed them all day one weekend, and I TiVoed them.  I think I may have seen about 7 of them.  I normally don't watch shows of that genre, but did because of Heath.  It was "good enough." 

I enjoyed the premise and some of the recurring characters, and Heath played the young whippersnapper, thrust into being a leader by circumstances, and learning to rise to the occasion and become a benevolent and noble leader, with his loyal band supporting him.  And there's a great villain.


Sweet Brigit, Conor!  You sure seem happy to see me  ;D

I was just about to lambast IMDb for giving me erroneous information, then I double-checked and noticed they must be tracking where I'm logging in from, and came up with my local premiere date, not the US one. Creepy.   :o

But just one week off, that's the next level down from Harry Potter. So still pretty mega-blockbusterish!  ;)

Wow! What a sight.  :P :o  Did they spray-paint those throusers on or did they just glue the leather on him, is what I'm wondering.  :P

Oh no, now I see: He gave away most of his leather material to the guy in the background, who for whatever reason needed very wide pants. How kind and magnanimous of ...uhm, Mr. Roar Conor.

In other news, I've just secured tickets for "I'm not there" for tomorrow night. So tomorrow I won't be here  ::) ;D , but I'll probably pop in afterwards and tell you what I thought!

It will be great to hear what you think of the movie!  I don't know if you'll see this before you see the movie, but I am interested to know your 'pre-movie' knowledge/impressions of Bob Dylan...

Yep, I'm popping in briefly. Before I see the movie.

I haven't got a clue about Bob Dylan. Sure I know what the man looks like and I've of course heard him sing + know some of his most well-known songs, but I don't know anything about *him*. So whatever they show me in the movie, at least I'm not a Dylan purist with lots of specific moments I want to see recaptured on screen, or else....

And that's really the way they do it. There are alot of Dylan "moments." I was surprised how many I knew about (eg, visiting Woody Guthrie in the hospital) but there were lots I wasn't familiar with, either.

I hope you like the movie despite not knowing much about Dylan, Mika.  I didn't know much of anything either, so I was grateful that I caught a goodly portion of a long documentary that Scorsese made on Dylan on PBS shortly before I saw "I'm Not There."  It helped make at least a little sense of the disparate characters and scenes.

O-K!  I'm back from "I'm not there".  Ready to blather all about it!  ;)

So here goes: Opinions + **spoilers**





What a movie! I feel my head is completely reeling - it was wonderfully challenging to try to make sense of it all, but so ....stimulating, for lack of a better word. There was no doubt from the first 5 minutes that I was watching moviemaking of the highest order. Despite my Dylan cluelessness: The narrative, and the imagery, and the music, and the mosaic and puzzle of storylines and dialogue kept me both focused and riveted. Attention-grabbers galore!!

I bow low before Cate Blanchett. Her part of the tale was so fascinating, and she just sucked me into the tale so that it was inconsequential who she was or even who she was playing. So much food for thought in that part of the tale - all that fandom stuff seen from the side of the idol, the idol-becoming-fan as his own idol(s) appear(s), from the perspect of fans of all stripes (including the purists and the newbies), the know-it-all cultural elite and reviewers, the gossipmongers, the press, the hangers-on.... (Also I totally loved Michelle Williams's sultry turn here. Yes! Don't know which Real Life person she was playing but that just helped me form my own ideas about her character.) This whole storyline surely *has* to catch the interest and cause some introspection in anyone who's ever been in fandom, - any fandom....


But enough of that, and over to Heath. Hello Ennis! The scene where he's chatting up his wife-to-be in a restaurant early on, and the scene where they agree on divorce...both had so much of a slightly more relaxed Ennis-Heath (expressions, mannerisms, that little cough to clear the voice...) that I nearly choked up. I think I'm in love. I seriously, totally loved Heath's portrayal in all of this, it's nearly embarrassing how much I liked it.  ::)   
And his storyline, that was so spooky.... two artists falling head-over-heels passionately in love, having children quickly, things going sour very soon, paparazzi stalking them, trying to make the relationship work, quarrels, the break-up, hanging with others, uneasy divorce, juggling time with the kids in-between travelling & roles gigs.  I can't help thinking that it must all have seemed such an echo of real life for Heath.  The actress who played his wife was perfect for the role. It was a tough side of the story but made such an impact! That ice-blue lighting that nearly all their part of the tale had been filmed in.... unforgiving, revealing, but also lending a mood and a clear, cold colour that I actually thought becoming to all those scenes.

The other actors playing Dylan were fine, but I didn't understand the first thing about the Richard Gere part of the tale at all, and that was annoying. (And also a bit boring because it took its sweet time confusing me more and more). 

I'm pretty sure this one will rank near the very top of my list of Heath films. I need to let it sink in a bit more.

Loved it!  :) But I feel very tired, - the result of quite intense concentration for the entire run time of the film. 


PS: When we exited the theatre, what else did we see than posters for "Rendition" which over here has been titled "Presumed guilty". Jake's latest is finally approaching these shores as well.  :)

Hey Mikaela,

Thanks for these comments. I agree--that scene in the coffee shop with Heath/Robbie and his future wife was so Ennis--I think it might have been my favorite scene in the movie. But I thought all the Heath stuff was excellent, as well as Christian Bale. The little kid (Woodie Guthrie) was also excellent. Cate was great but I got tired of her scenes. They started to feel repetitious to me. And like many others have said, the Richard Gere part was to me, the weakest link. I have since done some reading that Dylan was in Sam Peckinpah's Billy the Kid movie, so I guess that is what it was referencing, but like you, it sailed right by me.

I am glad you enjoyed it!

as a viewer (i.e. non-critical) I actually liked Richard Gere's part better than Cate's (ssshhhh... don't tell anyone)...

 ::)

I also thought Michelle was great in her part and I liked not knowing who her real life counterpart was (presuming of course that there is one)

I agree with you Mikaela, it did require some concentration!

Cate was great but I got tired of her scenes.

This was a film that pretty much invites, - yes downright requires - differing opinions and likes/dislikes - that's so great. :) :)

 I'm still thrilled about it - and TBH I had not completely expected that, I feared it might feel too distant, disjointed and confusing to me being so ignorant about Bob Dylan's life. I can admit that now, when my fears were proven unfounded!   :D

I tried to find a pic or two from the coffeshop scene, but googling gave me the same few pics over and over and none of that scene, so I'm resting content with this one, from a later scene w/ wife + baby and Robbie being pretty obnoxious in his opinions, especially in view of his wife's artistic merits...

Loved reading everyone's takes on I'm Not There.  I saw it the week it opened and I was sucked in from the get go. I tried to research it before I saw it-read lots of reviews-because I knew I would be in the dark with the references. Sad to say I was still in the dark  ::) for much of it but the the film making alone was enough for me. An experiment that, in my opinion, that was completely successful. It will absolutely be on my shopping list when it comes out on video (but what Heathiness isn't? Oh, the Brothers Grimm- I'll just steal my nieces copy).

I see nothing wrong with this image as it clearly is what he goes in the Terry Gilliam film.  But I do want to know when will we see a clean-shaven / little scruffy Heath in film again.  I think it's possible that he will take a break after this film.

I was thinking the same thing, since it seems like he must've gone from I'm Not There to The Joker to The Imaginarium... quite quickly.

Must say, I don't know how they (actors like Heath) do it...

are there more scruffy pics??  (If so, please share...)

I am in complete and total shock right now, shaking all over. I don't know any easier way to break this news than to just post it. From the New York Times:

Actor Heath Ledger Is Found Dead

By Sewell Chan

The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body.

Mr. Ledger, a native of Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a novel by Larry McMurtry about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”

Thomas J. Lueck contributed reporting.

As I always do, the first thing I did when I got home this evening was turn on the television, to the local NBC affiliate, for the late afternoon news. That was the first story to pop up as "breaking news." They are finally running a story as I type this--not saying much, though.

The story was also on AOL news.

I cannot believe it. He had so much potential, I remember thinking, it doesnt matter he if he doesnt win an Oscar for BBM, he'll have loads of brilliant roles in the future... I was so looking forward to seeing him in the new Batman film too, he looked amazing. It will just feel strange watching it now... So so sad, and I feel so incredibly sad for Michelle Williams and their daughter. :(

I just don't know what to say, think or do. I keep thinking I must be in some kind of terrible dream. I remember earlier today I was going to write something in the Heath Heath Heath thread cause I saw him just this weekend on television. I was telling my mother who was watching too to listen to how he really sounded with his Australian accent. He was Ennis!!! It seems that this is just hitting me, sinking in now, and it is not feeling good. All I know is I got home from work, took a nap, got up, turned the computer on and when the computer came up I see "Heath Ledger found dead." This was only a few minutes ago. I just kept reloading the page thinking that I must be seeing something that was not real. I didn't even know if I should bring BetterMost up cause I didn't want to see it if this was true. How many times have I told people that Heath was my favorite? So many times I can't even count. How can I watch BBM now knowing this? What am I going do? This is just absolutely horrible. I really don't know what to do.

I think of what this man was able to bring to this world. Look at this thread alone, and I know you can't even begin to quantify the joy he brings to people's live, even if its just a simple joy of admiring his beauty. And then there's the creative energy that he generate in his work; the power to make us feel emotions that rocked the core of our souls. I don't know what it says about me that I found myself through his performance as Ennis, but his performance is just that powerful.

With this lose, I come back to you all, the community that has shared so much love. Hugs for all of you.

May I say that since Heath was on a mission to seek and present love, that that I feel will always stay and guide us in the Brokeback Mountain movie!!

He is our Ennis and always will be in our hearts and minds, and he presents himself as Heath and Ennis too!!

May that help to hug everyone always - it hugs me!!

I have never been one for reading poetry, but there are a few poems that have stayed with me. Somehow this seems appropriate to me right now...

To an Athlete Dying Young
by A. E. Housman (1859-1936)

The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields were glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.

I agree with Leslie.  Let's let this thread stay here.  :(


Milestone for this thread - and I was really aware for the last few days that it was coming - it's longer than the Jake Jake Jake thread for the first time.  I was watching it, thinking it would happen this week, if this had been a normal week.  :(  I was going to PM the HHH regulars a couple of days ago, suggesting we make a point of extra posting to make it happen, but then decided not to, to savor it happening naturally.  :(

Evenin'.

Well, still wrapping my mind around what happened this afternoon.  I posted this a few months ago in my Journal over at LJ, and again today, feel it applies so much right now, reminders of a man 'whose life was cut short in its prime.'  It's from the July/August issue of 'American Cowby'.  Hope you like it too, and don't mind my posting it here. .

Thanks again.


Reminders
By Deb Sustrich - Sheridan, Wyoming

A band that is soiled by sweat and dirt
On a hat that is weathered and worn.
Rubber strands wrapped again and again
'Round the base of a saddle horn.

His dog asleep in the sunshine,
Dreamin' of workin' cows again
Raises an ear at the sounds of a footstep,
Wondering where the cowboy has been.

A corral full of good looking horses,
Content to munch on their hay.
A rope coiled for the last time
By hands that had earned their pay.

All reminders of a cowboy
Whose life was cut short in its prime.
Daily threads of his life unraveled
To help us remember a happier time.

The hat can remind us of his roping
Steers called for by the nod of his brim.
Now he's made it to the short go,
His partner named Jesus and him.

The saddle and rope are trademarks
Of the cowboy's lifestyle and work.
Calves roped and drug to the fire
Or stopped in mid-stride with a jerk.

His dog was his constant companion,
Helping with work no hired hand could do,
Waiting patiently in the pickup,
Until his cowboy was through.

But of all the reminders left of this cowboy,
The best are the ones here today,
The friends, the family, and memories
They can treasure in their hearts every day.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: loneleeb3 on January 23, 2008, 12:46:38 am
Thanks for sharing that Cowboy!
It sure was beautiful.
Jesus, why is this happening?
There are a thousand old murderers and child moloesters who will die in prison or even free at an old age.
Why couldn't one of them die. Aside form the reasons we love Heath, he was young and beautiful, vibrant and he was the father of a sweet baby girl. It's just not fair.

Heath Ledger's Video For Nick Drake Song: Eerie Postscript To Actor's Death 
Actor said he was 'obsessed' with long-dead singer.
By Jim Fraenkel, with additional reporting by Rodrigo Perez
Appearing at a news conference at the Venice Film Festival in September to promote the Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There," Heath Ledger, who died on Tuesday, spoke of his "obsession with an artist by the name of Nick Drake," an English-born singer/songwriter whom he characterized as a "very mysterious figure."

"I was obsessed with his story and his music and I pursued it for a while and still have hopes to kind of tell his story one day," a soft-spoken and fidgety Ledger told the assembled media, though he also said that any such aspirations had "faded away."

But in an eerie postscript to the actor's own death on Tuesday, MTV News has learned that Ledger recently shot and edited a music video for a Drake song called "Black Dog," so titled because of a Winston Churchill quote describing depression as such. It is also reportedly the last song Drake recorded before overdosing on antidepression medication in 1974 at the age of 26.

A representative for Drake's estate described the "gorgeous" and "extremely moving" clip as a stark black-and-white composition, consisting mainly of the director turning the camera on himself. In the end, Ledger is seen drowning himself in a bathtub.

The video, which has not been released commercially and has apparently not yet leaked to the Web, has been screened just twice, once last Labor Day weekend at the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle and a second time in October at "A Place to Be," an event honoring Drake held in Los Angeles.

Ledger also directed Ben Harper's video for "Morning Yearning" and announced plans to start a label with the singer called Masses Music Co. last year. The label's first signing was a singer from Ledger's hometown of Perth, Australia, named Grace Woodroofe; Ledger also directed a video for her cover of David Bowie's "Quicksand."

While Drake garnered just a cult following during his life, his music has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years. In 2000, Volkswagen scored a ubiquitous television ad with the title track from his 1972 album, Pink Moon, after which Drake's albums reportedly sold more in one month than they had in the previous 30 years. This past November, fans were treated to a limited-edition box set that included not only the three albums Drake recorded in his short career, but also a book and a DVD documentary about his life.

I can't deal with this, I'm still in denial. I woke up this morning feeling like shit and cried some more. I see folks coming up with such beautiful poems, thoughtful comments, images, and I can't put anything rational together except that I was to scream and kick something.  ::)

Had a peek at the news coverage this morning and it's still so tacky, uncaring, sensationalist, ignorant. They copy each other and haven't got a clue. Aiming for their angle - the major Norwegian paper makes a point of focusing on the fact that Michelle and Matilda were staying in some Swedish place near the Norwegian border when theiy got the message. Gotta make the news local however farfetched the angle, and so presumably (to them) more interesting. How silly is that?

I think I need to stay away from the net for a while and get myself under control. If only I hadn't seen "I'm not there" the day before yesterday...

I woke up this morning.  First thing I thought, "Heath Ledger is dead."  I turn on the car radio and there is a tribute to Heath Ledger on NPR with the theme from BBM playing towards the end.  My computer wasn't working yesterday evening so I had to process the the grief by myself, the old-fashioned way.  I guess we come to the internet to see how others are reacting, coping, to find solice. 

I will always remember where I was at when I heard Heath Ledger had died.  What a shock.   :'(

All those poems and talk of sleeping with the fucking angels just make me more angry, it all seems so trite somehow.  But then I always have been unhealthily cynical. And  I too feel like screaming and kicking something, (and I did) although I was finally able to cry (Surprisingly forcefully) late last night and the release helped a bit.  I had a fitful night full of unpleasant dreams and today I find myself constantly on the verge of tears. Not unlike how I felt after seeing BbM, in fact.  Thanks for not judging my anger, it seems to be a big part of my greiving process.

Had a peek at the news coverage this morning and it's still so tacky, uncaring, sensationalist, ignorant. They copy each other and haven't got a clue. Aiming for their angle - the major Norwegian paper makes a point of focusing on the fact that Michelle and Matilda were staying in some Swedish place near the Norwegian border when theiy got the message. Gotta make the news local however farfetched the angle, and so presumably (to them) more interesting. How silly is that?

I think I need to stay away from the net for a while and get myself under control. If only I hadn't seen "I'm not there" the day before yesterday...

Michelle Williams 'Devastated' by Heath's Death
TUESDAY JANUARY 22, 2008 11:15 PM EST


Photo by: Richard Young / Rex 

Michelle Williams was on location in Sweden, believed to be with 2-year-old daughter Matilda, when she got the news: Heath Ledger was found dead in New York at age 28.

"She's devastated," says a source close to the 27-year-old actress.

Although their three-year relationship didn't last, Williams and Ledger could always agree that their daughter comes first.

"He was absolutely in love with his daughter," says another source. "And he really liked what he did [acting]. He spoiled [Matilda] rotten. He was playful and very funny with her."

The source adds: "I can't believe Matilda is going to grow up without a dad, without knowing her father. And that Michelle will have to deal with having a daughter who's lost her father. She's a survivor. She'll make it, but it's going to be hard. Her first concern is going to be Matilda."

An Actor Whose Work Will Outlast the Frenzy
By A. O. SCOTT

The defining performance of Heath Ledger’s tragically foreshortened career — more or less equivalent to what Jim Stark in “Rebel Without a Cause” was for James Dean — will surely be the role of Ennis Del Mar in “Brokeback Mountain.”

A portrait of inarticulate love and thwarted desire, Ennis is a rich, complicated character succinctly sketched in Annie Proulx’s original short story and brought to heartbreaking life by the film’s screenwriters, Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry, by its director, Ang Lee, and above all by Mr. Ledger himself.

Outwardly, Ennis presents a familiar image of rough-hewn western masculinity, and the longing that surges under his taciturn demeanor does not so much contradict this image as help to explain it. Ennis’s love for Jack Twist, whom he meets tending sheep on a Wyoming mountaintop in the early 1960s, takes Ennis by surprise and throws him permanently off balance. His lifelong silence, the film suggests, is less a sign of strength than of cowardice, a crippling inability to acknowledge or communicate the truth of his own feelings.

What made the performance so remarkable was that Mr. Ledger, without betraying Ennis’s dignity or his reserve, was nonetheless able to convey that truth to the audience. This kind of sensitivity — the ability to signal an inner emotional state without overtly showing it — is what distinguishes great screen acting from movie-star posing. And while Mr. Ledger was handsome enough, and famous enough, to be called a movie star, he was serious enough, and smart enough, to be suspicious of deploying his charisma too easily or cheaply.

In retrospect, the best thing that happened to him — the lucky break for his admirers, at any rate —may have been his early failure to live up to his apparent movie-star potential. He was the most likable of the young things in the Shakespeare-derived teen comedy “10 Things I Hate About You,” with his curly hair, high forehead and the permanent intimation of a smirk on his thin-lipped, angled mouth. And as often happens with young actors Hollywood, his good looks and easy charm looked like a ticket to the commercial big time. Dutifully, but also with sparks of playful, eager energy, he played period golden boys in “The Patriot” and “A Knight’s Tale,” a misbegotten (but not entirely unenjoyable) entry in the evergreen, ever-silly costume-action genre.

It is hard to know exactly when Mr. Ledger discovered his range, and set about trying to explore it, but it is clear that he covered a lot of ground in a very short time. He had a taste for portraying troubled, brooding, self-destructive young men, it’s true — the anguished second-generation prison guard in “Monster’s Ball”; the heroin addict in “Candy”; the unhappy film star in “I’m Not There,” in addition to Ennis — but the temptation to blend their fates with Mr. Ledger’s own should be resisted at all costs. Those roles should be seen less as expressions of some imagined inner torment than as evidence of resourcefulness, creative restlessness and wit.

Those same characteristics are abundantly evident in less well-known movies that should not be overlooked. Mr. Ledger was hilarious and eccentric in Catherine Hardwicke’s “Lords of Dogtown,” playing a shaggy old-timer on the Venice Beach surf- and skateboard scene, and affably mischievous in Terry Gilliam’s “Brothers Grimm,” alongside Matt Damon. Ennis Del Mar is complemented and complicated by Casanova, whom Mr. Ledger played in Lasse Hallstrom’s unfairly neglected biopic-as-sex-farce, which came and went too quickly in late 2005, during the ascendancy of “Brokeback Mountain.” It’s not just that the flamboyantly heterosexual Casanova is Ennis Del Mar’s opposite in obvious ways. He is also a creature of pure whimsy, a lighter-than-air confection of licentiousness and gallantry.

Which is not to say that Mr. Ledger’s performance is frivolous. Rather, it required intelligence, restraint and a tricky lightness of touch. Mr. Ledger’s had an unusual ability to mix lightness and gravity, an emotional nimbleness he displayed most fully, perhaps, in Todd Haynes’s “I’m Not There.” Of the six avatars of Bob Dylan in that film, his, an actor named Robbie Clark, is the most remote from Mr. Dylan’s various personae and closest to the prosaic world of love, fame and ambition. Bobby starts out full of youthful energy, heedless and in love, and finds himself a decade later adrift and disappointed, robbed of the happiness that early success had seemed to promise.

Again, it’s important to warn against looking in that film, or any other, for clues or portents. It seems to me that Mr. Ledger, in his choice of roles, was motivated above all by curiosity, and perhaps also by an impatience with the predictability and caution that can settle around the shoulders of talented young stars. In heroic roles, like “A Knight’s Tale” or “Ned Kelly,” he often seems bored, which may be why he so eagerly seized the chance to play the sociopathic Joker in “The Dark Knight,” the next installment in the “Batman” franchise.

The dismaying sense of loss and waste at Mr. Ledger’s death at the age of 28 comes not only because he was so young, but also because his talent was large and as yet largely unmapped. It seems inevitable that he will now be inscribed in the cult of the beautiful stars who died too young, alongside James Dean, Montgomery Clift and Marilyn Monroe. Even before his death, he had been ensnared in a pathological gossip culture that chews up the private lives of celebrities, and Tuesday’s news unleashed the usual rituals of media cannibalism.

Mr. Ledger’s work will outlast the frenzy. But there should have been more. Instead of being preserved as a young star eclipsed in his prime, he should have had time to outgrow his early promise and become the strange, surprising, era-defining actor he always had the potential to be.

I don't think he defined an era.  I think he reminded us of what being totally involved n your craft is all about.  His whole self was in every role he played, regardless of how silly the part was.  Those performers and performances are rare not only for us as an audience, but for a performer as well.  It's hard to explain if you aren't a performing artist.  Those moments of total involvement, body, mind and soul are hard to forget on both sides of the aisle.

For The Moment | Jeff Klein on Heath Ledger

By Jeff Klein

This week’s guest blogger is Jeff Klein, the hotelier behind The City Club in New York and the Sunset Tower in Los Angeles.

When I was asked to write for this blog I was honored, but I remember thinking two things: how difficult it would be to find five subjects to write about, and how I refused to write about my famous clientele, whom I make it a habit not to discuss for many reasons. My hotels are a safe haven for celebrities who appreciate that our employees will not sell them out to the tabloids — I am always amazed to hear how much money is being offered to my staff for tips and even pics of celebrities. — and I am very proud that as far as I know no one has taken the quick cash. Of course, this only infuriates the paparazzi, some of whom have declared war on my hotels, but I am okay with that. Unlike my competition, I want to be judged by my product, not by who stays there. However, because of an unfortunate turn of events, Heath Ledger, who lived in the Sunset Tower for about four months — and who visited us frequently even after he bought a house and moved out — passed away yesterday. I hope I am respecting him and honoring him by writing this.

My dealings with Ledger began when his agent called me personally — they often do — to make a reservation. Ledger was shooting a movie and wanted to stay in the Sunset Tower for four months. It was one of my first celebrities at the hotel and I was insanely excited for so many reasons. He was hot hot hot and fresh off “Brokeback Mountain,” which everyone was talking about. He was sure to get an Oscar and soon! So I couldn’t believe he wanted to stay at my hotel. I also loved the thought of having a long-term guest and not just because he was a celebrity. I remember thinking how chic it would be to live in a hotel.

Ledger and Michelle Williams, his wife at the time, took a suite with their baby and the nanny. And he soon revealed himself to be one of the kindest, sweetest guests we have ever had. He had absolutely no pretention, was very chic (in a sort of bohemian way) and was always a gentleman to all the employees here, including me.

Case in point: I remember one time I was having a business meeting with an elderly event planner of the gay persuasion. I was late to our meeting and this gentleman was wearing an ascot and waiting for me in the lobby. I remember when I approached that he looked as if he had seen a ghost: “Heath Ledger was just checking me out,” he bleated, before I could even manage to apologize for being late. I remember getting very protective of my guest, whom I knew was not gay. (If he was, he would surely not be hitting on this 70-year-old queen.) So I told the event planner that we needed to move into my office where we could have some privacy. What happened next was not only shocking, but also very out of character for a celebrity who has much better things to do with his time.

Ledger passed by us in the lobby and with all the confidence that only someone truly comfortable with their sexuality could muster, he winked at the event planner, who just about fainted. Needless to say, I snagged the very lucrative event, thanks to Ledger’s flirtatiousness. The next day I saw Ledger in the Tower Bar having dinner and he said, “So, did you book the party?” I later learned that he had heard everything the event planner had said about him. He was just happy to help me get this party. There are not many people, let alone famous accomplished ones, who are so thoughtful. To this day, I appreciated the effort he made.

Heath Ledger was an extremely talented actor, a devoted father, and a very kind giving man. He was also the perfect hotel guest and he will be very missed by us all at Sunset Tower.

10 Things I Loved About Heath Ledger
What made him irreplaceable.
By Dana Stevens
Posted Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2008, at 1:09 PM ET

Obituaries—especially obituaries for the young, beautiful, and unexpectedly dead—are a hopeless genre to write. The deadline is, by definition, past, and you know you've already been scooped countless times. So rather than research a tribute to Heath Ledger by watching the ghoulish three-minute-long video of Ledger's body being wheeled out on a gurney, or clicking through photos of his 2-year-old daughter (just three months older than mine), I stayed up most of the night watching and re-watching a few of his movies. I wanted to understand, without resorting to gushy and imprecise phrases like "most promising actor of his generation," the particular quality he had that will be missing from movies now. There are plenty of promising actors in his generation, but there's no one who can do that Heath Ledger thing. What was it, exactly?

For one thing, there was the novelty of a guy that effortlessly good-looking—who in his or her right mind wouldn't want to get next to Heath Ledger?—gravitating to eccentric, even flamboyant, character roles. In Lords of Dogtown (2005), Ledger plays not one of the blond skate rats but Skip Engblom, the middle-aged and perpetually drunk surf-shop owner who coaches the skateboarding team to greatness. This scruffy, inspirational sports picture, a fictionalized remake of the skateboarding documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys, can barely contain Ledger's gonzo performance. He's fresh from Val Kilmer College, comically unhinged and unprecedentedly ugly. Late in the movie, after the Z-Boys skate their way to juicy endorsement deals and desert Skip one by one, he hurls surfboards off the roof of his store in a self-destructive rage, then sprawls on the roof's edge, guzzling from a bottle of whiskey while the crowd below gasps for fear he'll throw himself off. Hard to watch on the night he presumably died of an overdose? A little bit.

Then again, so was the sheerly goofy scene from the 1999 romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You, in which a 19-year-old Ledger belts out "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" to Julia Stiles over the school PA system during soccer practice. This is Ledger in straight-up teen-heartthrob mode—throwing paintballs, going to the prom—but, once again, he doesn't quite fit in the movie. It's not that he's ill at ease in the role, quite the contrary. His graceful physicality and loose-limbed charm point up the artificiality of the whole proceedings and make the rest of the actors look stiffly conventional. Like Brando and James Dean—actors to whom he's no doubt now being compared, and whom he was clearly referencing as the tormented movie star in I'm Not There—Ledger was an actor whose sheer physical charisma seemed at times to jut out from the surface of his movies.

But then there's Brokeback Mountain, a movie in which Ledger belongs so completely that, in the end, the movie belongs to him. That's not to discount Jake Gyllenhaal's fine performance as the volatile, openly needy Jack Twist. But it's the recalcitrance of Ennis Del Mar, Ledger's more deeply closeted cowboy, that drives the story forward. Brokeback Mountain isn't just about the impossibility of two men loving each other; it's about the impossibility of anyone loving this particular man. Not only Jack Twist, but Ennis' wife (Michelle Williams, who fell in love with Ledger during the filming) and a dime-a-dance bar girl (Linda Cardellini) all hack away unsuccessfully at Ennis' shell. I remember, when Brokeback came out, two friends telling me separately that the flinty, secretly tender, intermittently rageful Ennis reminded them painfully of their own shut-down fathers. An impressive achievement for an actor who was 26 at the time.

I'm Not There, last year's addiction drama Candy, and the tantalizingly creepy trailer for this summer's The Dark Knight all suggest that Ledger was learning to choose roles that took advantage of that peculiar quality he had of seeming at once larger than life and inwardly focused. In the years to come, I'm sure there'll be movies that make audiences think, damn, Heath Ledger could have nailed that role. So I won't opine on how sad it is that a gifted young man, someone's father and someone's son, lost his life at the threshold of a great career. I'll just say that the movies themselves will miss Heath Ledger.

And from Salon:

Remembering Heath Ledger
He was young, he was beautiful, and he had a pure gift for playing troubled souls -- which makes the actor's death all the more tragic.

By Mary Elizabeth Williams

Jan. 23, 2008 | Maybe it wasn't a coincidence that he was so good at playing troubled souls. Addicts. Suicides. Victims. The cause of Heath Ledger's death, at age 28, on Jan. 22 is still unknown, but the circumstances -- naked, near pills -- paint a tragic last picture of a man who had an uncanny talent for playing tragic people.

Why, then, does the thought of Heath Ledger so often make us smile? Is it just that he was so beautiful and young? Or was it that he was radiant, an actor who could invite the audience to curl up inside all the pain within his characters, the better to get close to their warmth, their depth, their humanity?

Ledger began his career as a teenager, doing television and film work in his native Australia. His breakthrough came in the role of romantic, eccentric Patrick Verona in 1999's "10 Things I Hate About You." It was the first movie I ever saw him in, and I'll never forget sitting in that crowded preview audience, experiencing the all too rare thrill of watching a star being made. Ledger wasn't just another teen-comedy pretty boy, although he was, undeniably, very pretty. As the less-dangerous-than-he-looks leading man, he was broody, funny, sexier than a guy playing a high schooler ought to be, and completely magnetic.

I wasn't the only one who noticed. He immediately ascended to blockbuster fare like "The Patriot" (2000), in which he played Mel Gibson's impassioned, doomed son. He took top billing soon after, in 2001's "A Knight's Tale." With Ledger staring intensely from the posters, the film boldly promised, "He will rock you." It's a promise Hollywood doesn't make about anyone less than a superstar. He was a knight in muddy armor; the movie itself is a weird heap of anachronistic drivel. I should know; I've seen it three times. There's just something about the charm of its star.

Ledger could have parlayed his roguish good looks and easy, action-ready muscle power into a long roster of utter dreck. He sometimes did, too, in clunkers like 2002's "The Four Feathers" and 2005's "The Brothers Grimm."

He often didn't, though. He went for smaller roles and riskier films. He played the tormented prison guard Sonny in "Monster's Ball" (2002), burning with anguish over his life, over his father's disappointment in him. He took on his toughest, and arguably best, role as the taciturn, closeted Ennis Del Mar in 2005's "Brokeback Mountain," for which he earned his sole Academy Award nomination. Another actor might have gone for a showier performance. Another actor might have won that Oscar, or at least a Golden Globe. But Ledger instead chose to stay fiercely true to the character, to play him with such devastating restraint, such roiling inner turmoil, that I can never think of him in those last few moments of the film without welling up.

When he and his "Brokeback" costar Michelle Williams moved to my Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood in 2005, my little corner of the borough went on full-throttle Heath watch. Friends spotted him drinking at restaurants on Smith Street or toting their daughter, Matilda, around Boerum Hill. The owners of the wine shop breathlessly reported his presence among their racks. We were not our usual blasé, jaded selves with Heath Ledger. We were starstruck.

Not that he spent much time cooling his heels at the local doughnut house. He crammed his résumé with new roles. He continued to challenge himself, to mix lighter fare like "Casanova" (2005) with small indies like "Candy" (2006), in which he plumbed the selfish, sweaty depths of heroin addiction. He bravely took on the iconic, channeling Dylan in last year's "I'm Not There," and painting on a mile-wide smile as the Joker in the forthcoming Batman sequel "The Dark Knight."

Yet for all his achievements, one of his first obits referred to him flippantly as "Heartthrob Heath Ledger." Though a legion of weak-kneed fans might not disagree with the term, it sells his talent far too short. He didn't just make hearts throb. He made them break.

He and Williams parted ways last fall. Ledger, who had been battling a bout of pneumonia, recently admitted to the New York Times that he was "stressed out" and had taken Ambien to combat insomnia. He was seen dining with his new girlfriend two nights ago. Then something happened.

At 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 22, a massage therapist and a housekeeper found his lifeless body in bed in an apartment in SoHo. Had the pain that suffused so many of his performances become too real? I hope he found peace. I wish an equal measure of it for those who loved him. The loss for us as moviegoers is big. The void for a 2-year-old girl without her father today is incalculable.

When I remember him -- a word that still doesn't sound real or right yet -- I will see a montage in my mind of indelible on-screen moments. I'll see him, blissfully bored, waving his hand through a Bunsen burner flame in "10 Things I Hate About You." I'll see him clutching a bloodstained shirt in "Brokeback Mountain," his face crumpled in haunted longing. I'll see him declaring his love with his last, self-destructive breath in "Monster's Ball." I'll see a flawless face that conveyed the rage, loss, menace and profound ardor of such fascinating, flawed characters. And I will be desolate and disappointed and angry as hell that there will be no more new moments to come.

Heath and Matilda Leave Footprints in Brooklyn
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 23, 2008 02:40 PM EST
By Beth Perry
PHOTO BY: BRAD BARKET / GETTY

As friends, family and colleagues talk about the imprint Heath Ledger left on their lives, his neighbors said the 28-year-old actor left something even more permanent in Brooklyn – with a little help from his daughter Matilda.

Roger Lang, who lived across the street from Ledger and Michelle Williams during the then-couple's time in Brooklyn, tells PEOPLE it was Ledger who put the markings in wet cement near the fire hydrant in front of their house. "The Matilda thing in the sidewalk with the footprints, he did that about two years ago," Lang says. "It was a secret. It was a fun thing. He did it as a surprise for his family."

The 2-year-old's name is perpendicular to the word HUGO, which is the name of a neighbor's dog. On Wednesday some carnations wrapped in plastic were placed near the spot.

Adds Lang: "He was full of life. He'd call my father Matey. 'Hi Matey.' Because he was in World War II. They're great people and it's very tragic. They loved Brooklyn. They wanted to be a part of the neighborhood."

Leslie, Katherine, thank you for posting these thoughtful and knowledgable obituaries. It does a body good after all the nasty media hoopla of yesterday.

~~

This tragedy has reminded me of the sad and untimely death of a famous performer/singer in Norway last autumn. I could give name and details, but nobody would know him here, I suspect. He was unexpectedly found dead in his bed, at age 30. He had lived a hectic life travelling and performing, and it was known he had been having some health troubles causing him to cancel certain performances and behaving a bit volatilely in public, though nothing very alarming or attention-grabbing. Upon his death the media jumped to overdose / drugs type conclusions. So did the police, speaking at first of "a personal tragedy" which is the standard euphemism here for suicide. However, the autopsy revealed that no such thing was the case. What had happened: His heart had given out as a result of a bronchitis infection and stress - and one would assume, as a result of having taxed his energy and put too much pressure on himself over time, draining his physical resources.

All of that seems eerily similar to what has been known about Heath's health - and his restless, nervous energy certainly is well known.

I wonder if the above may not also be the conclusion concerning the reason for Heath's death. If there were other reasons though, as so morbidly and strongly indicated in the voracious media hoopla,- I won't respect him one iota less, nor love his films and Ennis less. Not at all. That has nothing to do with this. I only wish the media could be more restrained and respectful and not so obviously ghoulishly delighted in horrid speculation and unneccessary details.  :(


ETA: What a lovely image and story of the prints in the concrete!  :)

Ang Lee Calls Heath's Death 'Heartbreaking'

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 23, 2008 03:40 PM EST

Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee reflects fondly on working with Heath Ledger, calling the actor's untimely death "heartbreaking."

"Working with Heath was one of the purest joys of my life," the director says in a statement. "He brought to the role of Ennis [Del Mar] more than any of us could have imagined – a thirst for life, for love, and for truth, and a vulnerability that made everyone who knew him love him. His death is heartbreaking."

Ledger was nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award for his role as Ennis Del Mar, a taciturn gay cowboy in the 2005 drama.

After completing the film in 2005, Lee spoke to PEOPLE about working on set with his leading man. "He understood the cowboy way, just in the way he posed, and his body language and how it developed over the course of the film," Lee said at the time.

The director also believed that Ledger understood and empathized with his character's darker elements. "He understood the shyness and vulnerability and isolation of the character," said Lee. "He really got that. And he did it while carrying the Western aura."

While praising Ledger's "great worth ethic," the director also opened up about the star's relationship with costar Michelle Williams, joking, "On the set I pushed him towards Jake [Gyllenhaal]. Maybe I pushed him too hard and he escaped out on the other side with Michelle."

"I think he will be a great father," Lee continued at the time, discussing the birth of Ledger's daughter Matilda, now 2-years-old. "It has overwhelmed him, much more than the movie has. He is enjoying every bit of it."

Me too. So sad to think she'll grow up without remembering much about him, knowing him only through his films (though at least she'll have those).

Tell you what, I felt a sense of relief when my own sons reached the age where I knew that if anything happened to me or my husband they at least would remember us pretty well (they're now 13 and almost-12).

I was just struck all anew by the thought that it was Heath who suggested that they should switch the shirts so that Ennis's encompassed Jack's in the last scene in BBM.

The image of those two shirts on their hanger in the closet has somehow become so familiar, I nearly take it for granted that their order is how it was and always should be. But if not for Heath that beautiful eloquent change that speaks such tender volumes wouldn't be there. That it *is* there just showed so much sensitivity and understanding on his part -  of the story, of Ennis, of communicating both to us.

I remember when I first read about that being Heath's idea a long time back. I was so impressed by it and of course I still am. I have read so much about how much Heath put into the character of Ennis, how he studied how Ennis should be, and how he practically became Heath. Just as he always did, he put everything he had into the character. He made Ennis come to life as we have always all known. This is just hard, really hard to accept  :(

Forever young: Heath Ledger and Hollywood's other fallen stars
[David Gritten  --  telegraph.co.uk]


Tellingly, the last time we saw Heath Ledger in a film, he played a celebrity actor with a failing marriage and almost estranged from his young children. In I'm Not There, Ledger played Robbie Clark, one of several imagined versions of Bob Dylan. Clark was angry with paparazzi who stalked his every public move; he felt imprisoned by his fame.

It's hard not to draw parallels with the events of Tuesday, when Australian-born Ledger died in his expensive loft apartment in New York's SoHo district. Alone in bed, he was found by a housekeeper. Prescription sleeping pills were at his bedside; more medication was discovered in his bathroom cabinet. He was 28.

There is something especially poignant about such a life being curtailed so early. Ledger, like James Dean and River Phoenix before him, will stay forever young. His image on cinema screens will now always trigger a rush of might-have-been and could-have-done speculations.

Even worse was the grim, solitary circumstance of his death. TV footage has shown Ledger's body being removed on a stretcher from his apartment block. The sequence grimly recalls the harshly-lit, black-and-white photos of Weegee, who always managed to arrive at a death scene only minutes after a corpse was found. It also recalls Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon books, infamous for unsparing pictures of movie stars, snatched after their unseemly deaths.

Yet there's a difference. Weegee worked alone; Anger obtained many of his shots, originally from police files, years later. Now news travels faster, so crowds of paparazzi were snapping away as Ledger's body emerged. The police erected crash barriers to keep at bay hundreds of gawpers, using mobile phones to take pictures and supply friends with running commentaries.

This was a sad, dispiriting spectacle to mark a life's end. But it's also the flipside of modern celebrity that no one tells the eager young wannabees about on shows such as Big Brother, The X Factor and Pop Idol. Maybe they wouldn't listen anyway.

Yet, honestly, who would want to be Amy Winehouse or Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan - walking car-crashes, hounded everywhere by paparazzi and otherwise ordinary members of the public with cameras on their mobiles? At some level, these predators are waiting for them to implode, maybe to die in front of them.

Ledger was not in that league, yet his life neatly fitted the fame template. From the outside, it looked like a dream. In his teens, he established himself as an actor in Australia, making his Hollywood debut in 1999 with 10 Things I Hate About You. He then started commuting between home and the States.

He was not the first actor to date actresses. These included Heather Graham, Naomi Watts - and Michelle Williams, his co-star in Brokeback Mountain, the film that won him an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of an inarticulate gay cowboy. He and Williams got engaged; she bore him a daughter two years ago, and they settled in a quiet area of Brooklyn, New York City. But last year they split, and Ledger moved to Manhattan.

Clearly his career was on the rise, and when that happens to Hollywood actors certain consequences follow. You start to make money - big money - and inevitably you attract people who help you spend it. You hire a manager. And an agent. Probably a "personal publicist", and an assistant - maybe two.

These people will claim they're not employees but friends. Occasionally, it may be true. But David Bowie once told me that, in the 1970s at the height of his fame, he lived in a Los Angeles mansion, addicted to drugs, with an entourage so big that "you'd wake up and find people in your house you just didn't recognise. It was this strange, ephemeral world: the wrong people and the wrong inclinations."

Ledger's problems were not that severe. Yet in November he told a reporter he had slept "probably an average of two hours a night" the previous week. "I couldn't stop thinking," he said. "My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." While working on I'm Not There, he said, he "stressed out a little too much". He would take a sleeping pill, which worked for an hour, at which point he took another.

With 20-20 hindsight, that sounds like a cry for help. If he was spilling these problems to the media, did no one in his retinue intervene? We may assume but will never know if his death was accidental. Yet why did he die all alone?

Again, it goes with the territory. Modern celebrity isolates you from your roots, your family and your real friends. It's a dilemma. You start out wanting fame; but, once you get it, part of you may recoil from it. At 28, many young men are still working out who they are and what they want. And, if they have problems, fame inevitably magnifies them rather than cures them.

It's clear Ledger's attitude to celebrity was ambivalent. He had run-ins with paparazzi; but his problems were more deep-seated. Last year, New Zealand-born actor Martin Henderson, who shared a flat with Ledger when they both first moved to America, told the Telegraph's Benjamin Secher: "To be honest, I'm not in a real rush to be a big star. I look at friends like Heath. He's sold his house and moved out of Australia for good, because of the way the media treated him. You know, with his newborn baby and his wife, and paparazzi camping out in his yard. He's literally been forced to leave his home country - and I think that's a huge price to pay."

He's paid a bigger price. Now we'll never know what Ledger might have achieved. Apart from his terrific performance in Brokeback Mountain, it's unclear whether a glittering career was his for the taking. Certainly in his next film, The Dark Knight, his role as the psychopathic Joker is high-profile. There remains that lingering notion, best articulated by F Scott Fitzgerald, of a Hollywood golden boy full of hope, cut down in his prime.

The show must go on, of course. Yesterday, while Ledger's body was still metaphorically warm, and tributes barely out of his friends' mouths, Hollywood trade papers ran stories about the marketing of The Dark Knight being adjusted in the light of his death.

Callous? Yes, but there's a reason it's called show business (it's a business). Anyone aspiring to fame needs to bear that in mind: you're only ever a cog in a big wheel. Celebrity ambitions? Be careful what you wish for.

The stories on television are more than disturbing and inconsistent. The national news said that there was no residue of anything on the rolled up bill, but then ET comes on and says narcotics residue was found on it. And then I heard that some religious group is planning on picketing Heath's funeral because he played a gay character in a movie.

Morning all,

Just dropping in to say hi. I feel very good this morning, actually, because Heath came and said goodbye to me very early this morning. This has happened once before in my life, with my friend Larry. It actually took Larry a week to get to me and say goodbye, but it only took Heath two days! Anyway, it was very good and now I have the closure I need. And everyone, I can tell you honestly, he is on his way, he's good, and he's happy.

Amanda, I specifically told him to go say goodbye to you. He said, "What's her address?" and I said, "I don't know, but she's in Pittsburgh. You'll find her." and he nodded. So you'll have to tell me if he showed up.

Some of you may think I'm completely nuts but I hope most of you understand. It's all true and it's all good.

Hugs,

Leslie

It wasn't a dream. He was with me. We weren't in our corporeal bodies, we were in our spiritual bodies, but we were still real.

At one point we were on a beach talking about surfing, then I said, "And fishing. What's the point of that? You put a string in the water and wait for something to happen!" and Heath winked at me and said, "Well yes, but fishing trips can be fun!" LOL.

I don't know if this is any solace at all, but he really doesn't want us all to be so unhappy. He didn't leave us because he wanted to make us sad. He left because his work was done, and it was time to go.

It wasn't a dream. He was with me. We weren't in our corporeal bodies, we were in our spiritual bodies, but we were still real.

At one point we were on a beach talking about surfing, then I said, "And fishing. What's the point of that? You put a string in the water and wait for something to happen!" and Heath winked at me and said, "Well yes, but fishing trips can be fun!" LOL.

I don't know if this is any solace at all, but he really doesn't want us all to be so unhappy. He didn't leave us because he wanted to make us sad. He left because his work was done, and it was time to go.

Thanks for that and I am happy for you. 

But it is really difficult to accept that his work was done here, there are so many things left unfinished - his taking up more memorable roles, his becoming a director, seeing his daughter grow up etc - I don't think I can accept this for a long while.

Well, I didn't get quite that kind of visitation, but I woke up at 4 a.m. I went to pee (TMI? sorry) and meanwhile half of my brain was seeing pictures of Heath, sort of hovering there in the dark. I got all the way back to bed before I fully realized that those images were there, and only then did I remember why. So it was like I was thinking of him before I was even thinking.

So you mean it was some kind of "out of body experience"? I,m sorry if I appear dense, but I,m struggling to understand this, as we all are. I don,t mean any disrespect to you Leslie, I,m sure this "dream" or vision, or whatever it was was real enough to you, but why would he appear to you, someone he didn,t know? Why not his family, or close friends? I don,t agree that his work was done atall. He was still a very young man, and he had his daughter to live for if nothing else, so his work certainly wasn,t done in that respect anyway.  I wonder how on earth Michelle is going to make a 2 year old understand why daddy isn,t around any more. Bless her.

For me there is no peace, no solace, no understanding.
A beautiful young man, a father, a son, a brother a firend has left never to return.
I really have to say I'm not sure I can believe in god anymore. Not just because of this but becasue shit like this happens every day. Some say there is a reason for everything .There is no reason. What possible reason could there be for taking a father away from his 2yr old little girl? What possible reason could there be for someone so beautiful, so talented so sweet to be taken. To expand, what possible reason could there be for the children being abused, dying of cancer, war, famine, disease etc etc etc.
I think if there is a god he quit caring a long time ago.

Bless her.

It's hard when we don't have the right words in our language to explain what happened. I tried when I said we were in our spiritual bodies. To me, it's not an out of body experience but I guess that might be one way to think of it.

This has happened to me before. Five years ago, my friend Larry died (on 1/21/2002...eerily coincidental date). I had last seen him on December 16th and he was fine, so for him to be dead five weeks later was a terrible shock. A few days after he died, very early in the morning, we got together to say goodbye. At first, I had no idea what was going on. We chatted a bit and then I said, "Larry, can I ask you a personal question?" and he said, "Yes, sure." and I said, "Aren't you dead?" and he said, "Oh, yes, I am." And suddenly it all made sense. I was so grateful to have a chance to say goodbye to him, since I hadn't done it in "living" life. (I don't want to say "real" life, because the experience I had was real. We were just in a different place--what I have come to call a spiritual place, in our spiritual bodies).

Similarly, with Heath, I think leaving so unexpectedly, he has lots of goodbyes for lots of people. I am sure he is constantly with Michelle and Matilda right now, as well as traveling around to say goodbye to others. I just feel really special (blessed, even) that I made it onto his list! And even though I never met him in "living" life, obviously he knew me enough to find me and give me a chance for our conversation--in the spiritual place. This time, I understood what was happening, since I had learned from Larry.

As for his work not being done, I am only telling you what he conveyed to me. (I say conveyed, because not all of our conversation was in words.) I'm not asking you to believe me, I'm just telling you what I know.

For those of you who think I am crazy, fine. For those of you who understand, great. And for those of you who would like to learn more, I am happy to continue the conversation, either here or privately.

Hugs and peace,

L

I wanted to share this recent quote from Heath with all of you.  I feel as though something has broken inside me, and I'm not sure if it will ever be fixed again.  My grief is overwhelming me.

This, from an article of the 23rd of January, 2008, is from The Age newspaper, a reputable source here in Australia.  It gave me some comfort to read it.

Thanks for posting that. It was nice to read, because I seem to remember that in the past he'd gotten a lot of grief from the Australian press.

OT, but my mother once told me that she'd had a similar experience, but it kinda wasn't quite so benign.

Back in 1992 my father had a heart attack, and after that a quintuple bypass. My mother told me that she woke up one night to see my grandmother and my oldest uncle (Mother's oldest brother), both long deceased, standing next to her bed. Mother said they didn't say anything, but she knew they had come for my father. She told me she just said to them, "No, it's not his time," and they went away (I don't remember if she said they vanished).

I can't.

Me neighter. It is getting worse actually. I became brokie on  November. That time I saw the movie for the third time but by a reason of my mood at that time the movie hit me so hard. I fell in love with Heath so deeply, his whole persona as Ennis and outside simply overwhelmed me. I bought all his movies on DVD and watched the sweetheart with pure pleasure. he gave me such awonderful feelings and I can't understand the horrible irony of life. When you find some kind of escape, something beautiful that can carry you it was destroyed in a moment. After two months later my enlightment happened my baby Heath died.
I can never make peace with it. I just can't. It hurts too much. I am crying now when I came back from work and my supressed emotions are flowing out of me in floods of tears.

Baby I love you, Heath sweetheart. I just can't let you go. I can't. I love you so much

No, you're not crazy. I can't share your experience, your knowledge and your attitude. But that doesn't make me right and you wrong. Might as well be vice versa.
Alone the words 'right' and 'wrong' are not appropriate, because there is no obcetive, provable 'right' (in the scientific sense). I only use them to let you know what I mean.

As I already said: I'm happy for you, and I really mean this.

I had goosebumps when I read that, Leslie.

It is hard to fathom why people die young.  Infants die soon after they're born; teenagers, people in their 20's and 30's... It is hard to accept, although it happens everyday.
I happen to think that death is not the complete obliteration of a person's existence or essence or soul (whatever you wish to call it)..  And yeah, I do believe in ghosts and spirits and 'out-of-body' encounters..

I had one "dream" a few years ago that stayed with me to this day.  It was one of my grandmother who died when I was two years old.  She never said anything to me, but just sat beside my bed and watched me sleep.  It didn't feel like a "dream" when I woke up; it was an 'experience', a real one.  My father has also had at least 2 of such experiences involving his deceased parents.  These things happen.

I am sure it is hard for us to grasp how this is possible or why some people experience it and others don't..
I don't have an answer for that.  All I can say is that, Leslie, you are 'lucky' to have found some solace when a lot of us are still trying to deal with the grief.

I thought I might repost something I wrote in Cameron's blog last night that is sort of tied to this...


I had a thought today that if we get this overwhelming feeling that Ennis is gone because Heath is gone,
we can console ourselves (or at least I do) with the thought that Ennis & Jack are together in the next (better) world.
For always.
There are no limits to their love.
There is no need to fear any longer.
They is no reason or way they can ever be separated.
They can ride with the wind or perch on the clouds or play the harmonica any way they like.
There are no boundaries now.  No limits.
For Always.

That thought, friends, makes me smile, in spite of the grief.  :)

I simply can,t get my head around why on earth, he would choose to appear to someone he didn,t even know, to let them know he,s ok. If he was going to do that, surely it would be to either his parents, or Michelle, even his daughter, to let them know. I suppose it,s just because I don,t understand.

Morning all,

Just dropping in to say hi. I feel very good this morning, actually, because Heath came and said goodbye to me very early this morning. This has happened once before in my life, with my friend Larry. It actually took Larry a week to get to me and say goodbye, but it only took Heath two days! Anyway, it was very good and now I have the closure I need. And everyone, I can tell you honestly, he is on his way, he's good, and he's happy.

Amanda, I specifically told him to go say goodbye to you. He said, "What's her address?" and I said, "I don't know, but she's in Pittsburgh. You'll find her." and he nodded. So you'll have to tell me if he showed up.

Some of you may think I'm completely nuts but I hope most of you understand. It's all true and it's all good.

Thank you for sharing that with us, Leslie.  And thank you for being brave enough to do so.  I've had a similar experience many years ago and I shared it with only one other person at the time.  But it was also "all true" and "all good."

Yes!  Our language, our words, are all earthbound, and the experience is anything but.  The bodies we inhabit are not "us."

As for his work not being done, I am only telling you what he conveyed to me. (I say conveyed, because not all of our conversation was in words.) .......

Yes, again.  And it's soooooo hard to explain.  Convey, communicate, express - these can all be done without words and language as we think of them. 

Thanks, again, Leslie.  I'm happy for you - and for myself, because I do understand and you've given me comfort. 

Thank you, too, Milli.  Your words, as always, are so beautiful, so pure, so true.

I simply can,t get my head around why on earth, he would choose to appear to someone he didn,t even know, to let them know he,s ok. If he was going to do that, surely it would be to either his parents, or Michelle, even his daughter, to let them know. I suppose it,s just because I don,t understand. It doesn,t make sense to me, but then none of this tragedy makes sense to anyone, thats what makes it so tragic.  :'(

No need to apologize, Souxi. You didn't say anything wrong.

I am sure he is spending time with his family, Michelle, Matilda, friends. In the spiritual place, time isn't like we conceive of it here. They are getting all the time they need, I think. It was clear to me he is very caring and concerned, and he really wants to let us know everything is okay.

Interestingly, someone named Natasha posted over on Brokebackslash about Heath's spirit visiting her and saying goodbye. She called it a dream, but whatever...same thing as happened to me, I think.

The picture was hanging on the wall in the Del Mar apartment. All the scenes that showed it were cut from the final film.

Talk about force of habit. I saw the picture and thought to myself, nice picture of Heath and Michelle, but for the period I'm guessing Ennis and Alma's wedding picture would have been taken inside the church. ...  :-\  ;D  :laugh:

Thank you for sharing that with us, Leslie.  And thank you for being brave enough to do so.  I've had a similar experience many years ago and I shared it with only one other person at the time.  But it was also "all true" and "all good." 


Thanks, again, Leslie.  I'm happy for you - and for myself, because I do understand and you've given me comfort.

Thank you, Marie, for these nice words. I appreciate it!

Morning all,

Just dropping in to say hi. I feel very good this morning, actually, because Heath came and said goodbye to me very early this morning. This has happened once before in my life, with my friend Larry. It actually took Larry a week to get to me and say goodbye, but it only took Heath two days! Anyway, it was very good and now I have the closure I need. And everyone, I can tell you honestly, he is on his way, he's good, and he's happy.

Amanda, I specifically told him to go say goodbye to you. He said, "What's her address?" and I said, "I don't know, but she's in Pittsburgh. You'll find her." and he nodded. So you'll have to tell me if he showed up.

Some of you may think I'm completely nuts but I hope most of you understand. It's all true and it's all good.

Hugs,

Leslie

Hi Leslie,

I hope they release a DVD with all the cut footage.
I would love to see some of the things that were cut out.

So would I. So would I!  I hope that someday.... we may get to see those scenes.

But I've been steaming with resentment at Focus Features all day (guess I'm still in the anger&denial phase  - it's taking time to move on from there.)


I'm now more than ever furious and sad that they didn't make a special edition DVD when they should have. Now it's too late!! Now we've missed the chance for all time at ever hearing Heath talk about his Ennis in a proper commentary track!  

  :'( :-\ >:( :(

And knowing that his deep, warm, lovely, distinct voice will never say another word, anywhere, ever again, - that just makes me ....so so so sad. I've got a lump in my troat. I can't find the words to express it.

 :'(

(If they ever get around to making a DVD with commentary tracks, Jake will have to carry the burden for both Jack and Ennis now. And I think that Jake may come to feel the responsibility of being the one left to represent both of them a bit heavy at times. Perhaps he does feel that already..... since media has been so much after him since Heath's death trying to "get his reaction".  ::)

For fans' love of Jack and Ennis remains. And both Jake and Heath were aware how much Jack and Ennis meant to many people.... I'm sure Jake will want to try his best to do right by that love and trust, in Heath's honour.)

I can't help thinking how excited I would have been to know his address and his favorite haunts before he passed away.  One afternoon not that many months ago, Jenny and I and Two Mules (elenya) ate lunch in his Brooklyn neighborhood and were all keyed up just thinking that he could walk by at any moment.  So bittersweet, this knowledge coming now.  :(

For me there is no peace, no solace, no understanding.
A beautiful young man, a father, a son, a brother a firend has left never to return.
I really have to say I'm not sure I can believe in god anymore. Not just because of this but becasue shit like this happens every day. Some say there is a reason for everything .There is no reason. What possible reason could there be for taking a father away from his 2yr old little girl? What possible reason could there be for someone so beautiful, so talented so sweet to be taken. To expand, what possible reason could there be for the children being abused, dying of cancer, war, famine, disease etc etc etc.
I think if there is a god he quit caring a long time ago.




just want to give you a sympathetic hug....

A little while ago, I tucked my son in for the night and I sang to him a good-night song, as I always do. It begins (paraphrasing from German):

Do you know how many stars are there?
Up at the blue fimament?

And I had to think of this beautiful picture Laura made, and of Heath now being another star up there in heaven.

The good-night song and the picture of Heath and the starry sky gave me a much needed sense of peace and quiet. Thank you.  :-*

I really needed that after having spent the evening here on Bettermost, on various News and movie sites, and on Heath related threads on Dave Cullen.

It's the crazy Phelps clan and their picketing threats, the rightful anger directed back at those horrible morons, The Fox News guy and his tasteless callous remarks, and the anger directed at that, it's images past and present, it's YouTube clips, it's filmed or written news stories speculating on cause of death, it's pap pictures of distraught Michelle Williams leaving Sweden, it's grief and sorrow expressed in so many ways, by so many wonderful people on the boards - beautiful, touching ways, certainly but also requiring attention.... it's obituaries and tributes of many kinds and megastar comments and funeral rumours and I don't know what.... All of it combined, just too much for me, suddenly. Too much noise in my head. I am logging off for a bit to have a quiet moment. A silent moment without further information, opinions, heartfelt messages of grief to share in....

A quiet moment just dealing with the loss of Heath/Ennis.  :'(

Thanks Milli. I came back to say I hope I didn't come across as critizising anyone here. That wasn't my intention.

Also, I do wonder what Heath would have made of all this frenzy and emotional outpourings.... in every media channel and so forth.  It's much, much more intense than anything seen in the most hectic Brokeback hoopla. It's quite surreal really when one tries to summarize what's going on....

Here's me dredging up Nick Drake again.  Not saying I am going along with their sort of hypothesis, just that Heath said he was obsessed with him:

http://www.cinemablend.com/music/The-Nick-Drake-Heath-Ledger-Connection-8446.html

The Nick Drake Heath Ledger Connection
By Mack Rawden: 2008-01-23 19:28:59

 As most of you have probably heard, Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger was found dead in a New York City apartment yesterday. Hazy details of a possible overdose/ possible suicide are beginning to emerge. Naturally, the tabloid media is circling around the blood, turning every morbid detail into a front page headline, but one tiny connection, which at most could be a key to this tragedy or at least is a bizarre coincidence, is being overlooked. Heath Ledger was obsessed with Nick Drake.

Who? Nick Drake was an eccentric English singer-songwriter born in 1948. By all accounts, he was a brilliant student and received a scholarship to study at Cambridge University. For fun, he began performing at local coffee houses and word of his talent quickly spread to industry insiders. He was signed to Island Records and released his debut album Five Leaves Left. Largely ignored at the time, it developed a cult following among musicians and was later included in Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Albums.

In the next three years, Nick Drake recorded two more albums (both of which made Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Albums), but they received even less fanfare. Seemingly out of nowhere, the depressed singer developed stage fright. He refused to perform and retreated into the dark recesses of his mind. He couldn’t sleep and began taking large quantities of sleeping pills. In 1974, at the age of twenty-six, Drake overdosed on prescription drugs. To this day, his family still doesn’t know if it was on purpose.

According to MTV, Heath Ledger was fascinated by Nick Drake. He often talked of getting a script written about the Pink Moon crooner’s life. Unsatisfied with delays in getting the project started, Ledger filmed his own music video for Drake’s track “Black Eyed Dog”, an autobiographical piece about depression. It’s yet to be released commercially, but the clip reportedly ends with Ledger solemnly drowning himself in the bathtub. It was the last song Nick Drake wrote before he Od’ed on sleeping pills, and it’s music video ended up being the last project Ledger completed before his overdose, which many have prematurely linked to sleeping pills.

Two brilliant minds. Both were just coming into their artistic primes, and both suffered from bouts of paranoia, making it impossible for either to sleep. We’ll probably never know if Nick Drake’s words pushed Ledger further away or closer to the abyss, but somehow it’s fitting they eventually found each other and that damn pink pink pink pink moon.

It's hard when we don't have the right words in our language to explain what happened. I tried when I said we were in our spiritual bodies. To me, it's not an out of body experience but I guess that might be one way to think of it.

This has happened to me before. Five years ago, my friend Larry died (on 1/21/2002...eerily coincidental date). I had last seen him on December 16th and he was fine, so for him to be dead five weeks later was a terrible shock. A few days after he died, very early in the morning, we got together to say goodbye. At first, I had no idea what was going on. We chatted a bit and then I said, "Larry, can I ask you a personal question?" and he said, "Yes, sure." and I said, "Aren't you dead?" and he said, "Oh, yes, I am." And suddenly it all made sense. I was so grateful to have a chance to say goodbye to him, since I hadn't done it in "living" life. (I don't want to say "real" life, because the experience I had was real. We were just in a different place--what I have come to call a spiritual place, in our spiritual bodies).

Similarly, with Heath, I think leaving so unexpectedly, he has lots of goodbyes for lots of people. I am sure he is constantly with Michelle and Matilda right now, as well as traveling around to say goodbye to others. I just feel really special (blessed, even) that I made it onto his list! And even though I never met him in "living" life, obviously he knew me enough to find me and give me a chance for our conversation--in the spiritual place. This time, I understood what was happening, since I had learned from Larry.

As for his work not being done, I am only telling you what he conveyed to me. (I say conveyed, because not all of our conversation was in words.) I'm not asking you to believe me, I'm just telling you what I know.

For those of you who think I am crazy, fine. For those of you who understand, great. And for those of you who would like to learn more, I am happy to continue the conversation, either here or privately.

Hugs and peace,

L

You are very blessed, indeed, Leslie.

It is my personal belief that time and space on the other side   is not the same as it is here, where we are, on planet Earth. It's a spiritual realm there, where there are no laws of physics to contend with.

I have no doubt that Heath visited you, Leslie, as he has visited many others, I'm sure. Whether or not they are spritually evolved enough to recognise his visit, however, is another matter.

By visiting others, it doesn't take away from the fact that I am sure he is also very close, constantly, to Matilda right now. And I'm sure he will always be close to her, for the remainder of her days. Matilda could live to be 100 and Heath will be with her all that time. Some might question this, contesting that if he does so, he is not able to spiritually progress on his own personal spiritual journey, either via reincarnation or to Nirvana / Heaven / whatever you prefer to call it. We must remember, however, that what's 100 years to us here on Earth is but the twinkling of an eye   where Heath is now. He loved Matilda so very much, I am positive that he will wait for her to join him on the other side, no matter how long that may be. Just as I know my mother is waiting to greet me, when my time comes.

I had a similar experience some years ago, Leslie. I vividly remember the incident to this day. I woke in the middle of the night with the overpowering feeling that there was someone in the bedroom with me. Someone else, that is, apart from my partner, sound asleep by my side. And the room was icy cold at a time of year when it's not normally cold. I spooned myself alonside George and soon fell fast asleep again. In the morning, I lent up on one elbow, looked down at George and said, "Mrs Van Rooyen visited us last night." George, a fellow believer, did not question what I had experienced.

Mrs Van Rooyen was the mother of Frank, a school friend of mine. Frank and I were still close friends back then. Several years earlier, Mrs Van Rooyen had been diagnosed with cancer and had been in and out of remission many times. George and I lived in an apartment with no phone, so I couldn't phone to see how Mrs Van Rooyen was. This was long before the advent of mobile phones. Why did she choose to single me out, for a visit, you ask? Well, I don't believe she did just visit me alone. She may have visited many others to say goodbye, but they may not have been receptive to her presence. It is my personal belief that she wanted to thank me for being such a true and loyal friend to her beloved son.

Shortly after breakfast, there was a knock on the door. Without hesitation, I said to George, "That'll be Frank."

And it was Frank, inconsolable, in deep mourning, come to tell us of his mother's death the previous night.

Why did I say, "Mrs Van Rooyen visited us last night," and "That'll be Frank" ? I have no logical answer to that. I just knew. 

I don't doubt your experience for a moment, Leslie.

Morning all,

Just dropping in to say hi. I feel very good this morning, actually, because Heath came and said goodbye to me very early this morning. This has happened once before in my life, with my friend Larry. It actually took Larry a week to get to me and say goodbye, but it only took Heath two days! Anyway, it was very good and now I have the closure I need. And everyone, I can tell you honestly, he is on his way, he's good, and he's happy.

Amanda, I specifically told him to go say goodbye to you. He said, "What's her address?" and I said, "I don't know, but she's in Pittsburgh. You'll find her." and he nodded. So you'll have to tell me if he showed up.

Some of you may think I'm completely nuts but I hope most of you understand. It's all true and it's all good.

Saw this one again today, Heath, Joaquin Phoenix, George Clooney, and Philip Seymour Hoffman seeming to enjoy each other at the Oscars.  I always loved that.

I really liked the Christopher Plummer interview. So decent, respectful and informative without being intrusive. Also I note what he said about Heath's illness and the freezing outdoor filming conditions...


I watched Ellen deGeneres' little tribute yesterday evening. I couldn't help smiling because the clip of Heath's last appearance on her show is so funny and endearing, and I remember so well seeing that online when that show had actually aired - and how much I loved it.

But afterwards, now I admit I cried a new bucketload. It's so strange that someone so who was so full of life and resources should be no more.  :'(

Especially that "black crow" in the clip took on a sinister meaning for me, I can't help it.
Here's the clip:

Wow Leslie that,s a bit spooky isn,t it? The title of the thread, and then the following month Heath dies? Thats, given me goosebumps looking at that. This will sound crazy I know, but it,s like a kind of premonition almost. Does that make sense? Not much else does at the moment. :'(

I made it exactly through the first sentence before the tears came up again. "Please welcome Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger". When I heard Heath' name, I lost it. And then the clip and music of Brokeback Mountain...
I don't know when I'll be able to see the movie again.


Just a few days ago, I made a joke right on this thread about me having a date with Heath in Maine, when I'll visit Leslie (meaning seeing Casanova together).

The Archibald Prize is Australia's most prestigious art prize for portraiture. The exhibition should be opening some time soon. It's usually around the beginning of the year. It will be interesting to see if Vincent Fantauzzo will take the prize this year. I personally think his triple portrait of Heath is nothing short of genius. Right up there with  the great Van Dyck triple portrait of Charles I, IMHO (depicted below). And equally as tragic. I love it and will certainly be going to see it at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, in Sydney, when the exhibition opens. Further immortality for our beloved Heath, this time in oils on canvas. Such a painting will be around for centuries to come. At last, some good news has emerged from this heartbreaking week.  :'(

Uhm, I just wanted to clarify that my personal opinion doesn't content any judgement about Fantauzzo's art. It may be a very high-class piece of art.

But for me, personally, it's too dark, too sad. I think I wouldn't even have liked it under different circumstances.

I,ve just had a look on www.amazon.co.uk and Brokeback Mountain is still avaliable. I think a knights tale was out of stock but brothers grimm was avaliable. I didn,t check for all Heaths, movies but they might still be availiable for you to buy.

Regarding that painting....as I said to Natali in chat....I think I could appreciate it in an art gallery or museum, but I wouldn't want it hanging on my wall. It's not my taste but I have some sense of what the artist was trying to accomplish.

Regarding Heath movies: I ran through my Heath inventory last night and realized I have BBM (of course), A Knight's Tale, Casanova, and The Lords of Dogtown. The other day I ordered The Four Feathers from amazon.com so that should be arriving soon.

Now here is the slightly eerie coincidence: on Tuesday morning I was in the grocery store and I was looking at the $9.99 video display. One of them was The Patriot. I thought about buying it but decided not to, since I haven't been too charmed by Mel Gibson lately. But today...I think I will go back and pick it up.

I went to the grocery store and bought The Patriot, like I said I would, and I also bought People magazine, with Heath on the cover. And the article starts with this bit of information:

The man who inked the name "Matilda" on Heath Ledger's stomach couldn't wait to see his friend again. "We were always excited when Heath came around; he was the warmest, most down-to-earth dude," says Joseph Ari Aloi, th Brooklyn tattoo artist who created Ledger's quirky tribute to his beloved 2 year old daughter last year...

Matilda inked on his stomach? Who knew?
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Brown Eyes on January 25, 2008, 01:19:01 pm
Here's a link to the website for the artist who painted the triple-portrait of Heath.  Or at least it's his gallery's website.  I actually think that some of the other pieces shown on this website are a little more successful as paintings.  He's working in the tradition of photo-realism, mostly (it looks like).  And this can be a particularly difficult style to pull-off well.  Chuck Close and Phillip Pearlstein are two of the most famous artists who use this style (they each paint like this sometimes... but certainly not always).  Personally, it's not my favorite representation of Heath.  But, that's just purely a personal reaction.

I didn't know that. But it makes total sense, doesn't it, - the way he loved Matilda so much, - that he'd want her represented in his tattoos, just like his siblings and Michelle were likewise represented.

I told her the latest news that there was no 'foul play' involved, that Michelle and his family are in New York now. I also told her about the visit Meryl and John made to Broome Street on behalf of us all. She also wanted to hear if Jake had said anything...

It's a comfort to hear that she's surrounded by beautiful mountains (with a view of the Mont Blanc). She will be making her own tribute to Heath in the mountains, she didn't know quite what she would do, but she felt she needed to do something.

It was good to hear her voice. I was talking to a friend about a dear friend we both have lost.  :(

I wish I had the money to buy it. I would proudly hang it in my home.

Alas, I can't afford it. And besides it may not be for sale. Or, alternatively, it may have already been sold, given the circumstances surrounding the sitter.  :'(

The terms of the Archibald bequest are very strict and unless I'm mistaken (I could be wrong here), I think the subject of the painting should be a living   Australian who has distinguished his/herself in public life (the arts, letters, politics, academia, etc.) in the previous twelve months. The operative word here being "living." If this is the case, the painting will not be accepted for hanging by the Archibald committee. Sad but true.

I have entered portraits in the Archibald in the past. It is an open exhibition and anyone can do so, so long as you fulfill the requirements of the Archibald bequest. The Art Gallery of New South Wales usually gets several hundred entries each year and they ruthlessly cull them down to a couple of dozen paintings hung. Needless to say, I have always been culled in the past.

Whether or not it is chosen for hanging, I will still attend the Archibald this year, and dedicate my visit to Heath.

I do so hope his portrait will be there.

Post Script:

Just before posting this entry, I checked the Archibald conditions of entry and found that the exact requirements do not relate to the sitter having to be alive.  I was wrong there. Rather, they stipulate that the painting must be painted from life ; i.e., the subject must physically sit for the painting - it cannot be painted from a photograph. So, fingers crossed that the Archibald committee will view it favourably and choose to hang it.

Here's the link:

A Melbourne artist has released his never-before-seen portrait of Heath Ledger a day after the Australian actor's death.

Docklands-based Vincent Fantauzzo's haunting portrait depicts Ledger as three separate figures, one looking straight on, the others whispering into each of the central figure's ears.

Fantauzzo painted the actor's portrait with the intention of entering it into the prestigious Archibald Prize, Australia's premier portraiture competition.

Ledger, 28, sat for the painter on his final trip back to his native state of Western Australia in December.

The actor was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday of what authorities say may be an accidental drug overdose.

Fantauzzo released the image yesterday after receiving approval to do so from Ledger's friends and family.

"Heath was an inspiring and remarkable friend, son, and father," Fantauzzo said of his subject.

"Heath was a very private person, which is one of the reasons I was so honoured that he allowed me to paint him.

Mr Fantauzzo described Ledger as a natural artist's model, who needed no direction to pose for the portrait.

"He was so easy, and professional to work with," Mr Fantauzzo said.

"He didn't need any direction, absolutely focused.

"Once done, he was back to his usual charismatic self."

Mr Fantauzzo expressed his condolences to Ledger's family.

"My thoughts are with his family, and friends who must all be feeling such pain at the moment.

"It's a hard time, a sad time, and I hope we can find a way to focus on the good memories and move forward in a positive direction. We all love Heath dearly."

Wow - I wasn't aware just how large the painting was!

I must say that the frontal portrait here is really growing on me, the more I look into the face the more there are nuances of genuine humanity and introspection in it that my first unenthused impression of painted world-weary exhaustion didn't convey.

It surely is a good portrait.

Also the red scribble on the middle figure's chest, low left (from his perspective) - that I initially took to be the artist's signature -  has to be the name Matilda in red.

Tattooed over the heart. Oh, my.  :'(

Although I find it a bit hm, uncommon to approach a grieving family so soon with such a request, I appreciate that he did ask for their approval first.
I use the word uncommon in a very neutral sense, there's no judgement involved. Heath's family gave their approval and that should say something.



Like Mikaela, I didn't realize it is such a big painting.

Just passin' through on my way to bed, but had to post this. Apologies if it has been posted before, somewhere else - I had not read it at any rate and it's so lovely.

It's a feature article remembering Heath, written by Luke Davis who was one of the script writers on Candy.

Uhm.... one more thing. I had a look at Amazon.com's bestselling DVD list. Not surprisingly there's a lot of Heath there.....

Just now it looked as follows - number indicates rank on the bestseller list:

9 - 10 things I hate about you
11 - A Knights Tale
25 - Casanova
28  - Brokeback
31 - Candy
35  - Ned Kelly
61 - Roar - the Complete Series
66 - the Patriot
83 - The Brothers Grimm
86 - The Order
90 - Four Feathers

It's getting so I have to wonder why people aren't buying Monster's Ball? Or Lords of Dogtown... maybe they are further down the list. Anyway, I suppose one should see something positive in more people getting to know Heath's films and his acting. See it as a tribute. But I'm just mainly royally depressed at this. I know it's a common occurence but it somehow seems so.... morbid. And it's so horrible to think of the REASON that this list looks the way it does.  :-\

I'll Be Seeing You

I had this song in my head all day yesterday.  Last night, I heard it in the restaurant where I had dinner.
Today, I found it associated with Heath on youtube.

"...I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you."

Thanks for that Mikaela.  I am particularly touched by the last line, "Yet he was just that: an enormously talented artist, whose death leaves a terrible void in the world of cinema, as well as in the lives of those who loved him."

for though he may not have known us, we did indeed love him, and hence the void that we feel.

Do you mean because it's too "dying as a career move"? Sorry if that phrase sounds insensitive in this context -- but I've seen it applied to people like Elvis and Jim Morrison, people whose popularity shot up after they died. I remember a Rolling Stone cover about Jim Morrison with a headline something like, "He's young, he's hot, he's dead." Of course, that was many years after Morrison actually died, when the Doors were enjoying a resurgence of popularity.

Anyway, in this case I see it as positive that people are taking interest and maybe opening their minds a little bit, and in the process helping Heath's legacy live on. I'm surprised BBM is so much further down the list than the first three, though, because it's so often cited as Heath's greatest work. Maybe many of those people already own it?  :-\

The first three of the movies on the Amazon list are comedies. I suspect that people are looking for something to make them laugh. (And they have also been mentioned a lot in the obituaries.)

I know that clip from A Knight's Tale that is linked earlier on this thread made me smile, and I had needed to smile.

I am also surprised that Brokeback is not at the top of the list, but I really am glad to see this many of Heath's movies as best sellers. I know HBO is also showing Brokeback, but I don't know if it was already on their schedule or if it is in tribute to Heath.

I wonder if this is the tattoo of "Matilda" on his stomach that we've been reading about.  I am guessing yes, since this is realism.

Well, at least one person bought Lords of Dogtown from Amazon this week.  Me.

I also went into my unused Blockbuster account and put all of Heath's films that they had (which was all of them from Blackrock on) at the top of my queue in chronological order, so I'll start receiving them, starting with Blackrock.  My plan is to watch them, even the ones I cavalierly didn't make it through the first time, because I thought there would be a wealth of Heath coming along.  Remember how just a week ago I whined that I wished he would make a romantic comedy?   :-\

I actually purchased all of Heath's movies from Amazon probably a year ago or more. I have not watched all of them yet and I do think I am missing some.

No (or yes?), well anyway -  mainly because they're buying because Heath is dead. And those 3 words are just so wrong and grieve me so much and depress me like all hell, no other way to put it.  :-\  And further, because I get the whiff of painfully ugly commercial "act to grab the bucks while the body's still warm" - the retailers cashing happily in on the interest surge created by the dreadful and horrid speculation and tales that the media kept going the first few days. Stopping at nothing to gain another buck. So on the side of the buyers I couldn't help feeling there was an element of morbid curiosity. I.e. if they were not invested in Heath's films before, they're now acting on the basis of 3 days of "drugs and substance abuse and pills strewn about and found naked in bed and mysterious Olsen twins connection".   :-\  I feel resentment bubbling up at that.

These are not very rational thoughts. Nor very kind to the buyers, who may be just as distraught as I am. I'm the first to admit that. And it's only one part of my reaction anyway, as my previous post showed.

I agree with what others have commented - people probably are buying the comedies because they want some joy as comfort, in contrast to all the media ugliness.... and people are buying the Heath films they've not alredy got. And I completely agree with this:
Quote
Anyway, in this case I see it as positive that people are taking interest and maybe opening their minds a little bit, and in the process helping Heath's legacy live on.


"10 things I hate about you" being on top of the Amazon list somehow made me dare to watch this. It's Heath singing I love you baby in that film, so beware before clicking the link. But I *could* actually bring myself to watch it, and it's so sweet although painful - and I couldn't have done that just one day ago, so I'm starting to process this in my mind, it seems....  :-\  Anyway silly as that sounds, the song's title is not entirely inappropriate for how we're feeling now.

I think it was already on the schedule. My parents watched it about 2 weeks ago. My mother saw it in the theater but my father was totally opposed to it, when it first came out. In fact, I'm not sure my mother ever told him she saw it. It was his idea to watch it on HBO--and he thought it was excellent. People do change, even at age 83.

everyone "deals" on a different schedule...

I feel numb in the morning and in the afternoon my body hurts that I have to go for a walk. And when I come back I cannot stand it any llonger and cry in painful long sobs. reading this forum and watching the tributes. the pain does not leave me.

I will, I have to, i have no other choice. Now I logged in and saw his pics and I smiled, feeling an overwhelming love inside. I
just love him so much. And thank the world for the emotion he awakened in me even though he was not a real man in my life. I loved him. And I love him still and I will love him forever. I am smiling and crying at the same time but I feel a little healed. I was relaxing today and it gets a little better. I am sorry, I don't wanna bother you if you moved on but I think it is impossible that soon. I just wanna write how much I love him. Forever.

I love you, my darling. Sleep in heaven you devine creature. You brought me love. Through Brokeback I found what love is and what I wanted it to be in my life one day. No compromise, but a true and real love. Thank you Heath, I fell in love with you and I will find a man that will get the love I feel for you. I love you, sleep well, sleep undisturbed.

Forever yours,

Nikola

Bless Daniel Day-Lewis!  In his acceptance speech for Best Actor at the SAG Awards, he said lovely things about Heath's performances in "Monster's Ball" and BBM and dedicated his Best Actor SAG Award to him.  :-*  :-*  :-*

I was hoping for a short tribute to Heath from SAG, but all they did was tack a shot of him from BBM (the "you and Lureen, it's normal and all" scene by the creek) to the very end of a sequence showing clips of stars who had died since the last awards.  What made it moving, though, is that they used the music from the trailer of BBM (from Shawshank Redemption).

Today I went to the bus stop and I think Hetah gave me a sign from Heaven. It is a cold day in my country since it is winter and no rain at the moment but in spite of that a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky above the bus stop I was waiting. It looked like a Heaven's Door. No kidding. You know that song: Knock, Knock, Knockin' in Heaven's Door.

I believe my darling gave me a sign that he is in peace now and that I should carry his death with a bit of optimism.
I felt relieved for a moment. I believe it was him, a sign of his new home.

I think I grieve backwards.  :(

Last week, Tuesday and Wednesday, I was in shock. Then Thursday morning, I had my visit with Heath and I was just happy and relieved because I knew in my heart that he was okay. That feeling lasted a few days and yesterday (Sunday) I was actually starting to feel normal again and think about the week and things I needed to do and so on. Then last night--I had a lousy night, tossing and turning--my head was filled with images and thoughts and I feel like I haven't slept at all. So now I am edgy and depressed, and feel like I have been wrung out. I just watched Daniel Day-Lewis's acceptance speech at the SAG awards and that has me sobbing my heart out.

It reminds me so much of the early days of BBM fever....

I'm so here with you. The SAG awards and DDL' speech reduced me also to tears again.  :'(
I posted something similar on the SAG thread, how much it reminds me of the times two years ago ...

This morning, when getting up while still half asleep, I thought I'd go and look what's new on on BM when Hannah has left for school. A split-second later I reaslized what's up on BM, and the thought of what had happened really hit me again.

It's still up and down. We just have to stand it, there's no way of fixing  :(

I know that a lot of pain is inside our hearts and bodies. I think you kept the grieving locked inside of yourself. Whatever people say tears are healing.
I am still in horrible stress and pain but I am fighting, trying to surround myself with positive things. But I still feel like something inside me is crying even when I laugh.

As I was telling RouxB, it's almost as hard to watch fellow Heathens being torn up as it is to grieve the incalculable loss of Heath.  Even our closest friends and family are unable to grasp the attachment we've formed to him over these past two years.  I've given up even the thought of trying to explain it to them and just keep it close to my heart.  Last night's speech by Daniel Day-Lewis helped to open up tears that had been unable to break through the numbness and disbelief I'd been feeling all week.

Hang in there, Friends.  I know it will get better, but time takes time.  :(

Thank you Meryl for this post.
No explaining to people unable to understand, yes. But at the same time this means being forced to fake normalcy and having nobody in RL who is just there.
All the more reason to be grateful for our community. And yes, I have to admit I feel a special bond between us Heathens.

I just had a long talk on the phone with Fred (pastorfred). He saw my comment about grieving in reverse and said, "It's not in reverse...you are just going through the stages in the order you are supposed to." And he reminded me...

Denial -- that feeling of numbness
Anger -- I don't remember being so angry, but maybe I was. I know others here have felt intense anger and expressed it.
Bargaining -- which came in the wake of my visit with Heath. Sort of like, "Oh, we talked and I'll be happy now if you tell me you are okay."
Depression -- where I am today
Acceptance -- where I'll get to someday...soon, I hope. Sigh....

He also reminded me that I need to do what I need to take care of myself--which might mean, putting some work projects on hold, telling people I can only do what I can do right now.

I am just sharing this as a reminder to all of us. I am so glad you are all here and grateful for your support. And guess what? We will muddle through.

Peace and love,

Leslie

Yes, and Fred had some wonderful news -- he got married on October 17th!

I don't know if folks remember, but his first wife died suddenly in early Dec 2005. His whole Brokeback experience was in large part his grieving for his wife.

He met a lovely woman (through his church) in December 2006. They had their first date on New Year's Eve and the rest, as they say, is history.

I am very happy for him.

He sends his best to all of us.

I definitely do think us Heathens share a special bond and we always have. Unfortunately I did not find the Heath thread until pretty late so I never got here until fairly recently. At that time I would have never thought anything would ever happen to Heath. It just never even crossed my mind. I was always busy trying to explain to people why Heath was my favorite and in some ways I always felt we were somewhat in the minority as opposed to the Jake group. Please don't get me wrong about that since I do think Jake is great as well as his portrayal of Jack. Nobody could have played the part of Jack better. It was just that my favorite was always Heath and Ennis was my favorite in the movie. That was just the way it was from the beginning of the first time I saw the movie. I was not familiar with either actor before Brokeback. I read a whole lot about Heath and his life after seeing the movie and I felt I had an understanding of him. I liked the idea that he was a private, down to earth person who was not into the Hollywood glitz. I just found him to be a very special guy and when I read all the things he did to put himself into the character of Ennis as well as other characters he has played I even admired him more. It's a very hard loss. I have never had an actor who passed away that I felt this strongly about. It's hard. I find myself to be rather irritable with people, with work and with things in general. I feel a feeling of just being down below the surface of something with very sad thoughts. I have pretty much quit posting on any of the threads except the Heath ones. I know some of the other threads that I used to post on have moved on and probably are talking about more lighthearted things, but I am not ready for that. I don't have anyone in RL who really understands either. The only one I have mentioned it to at all that has some understanding is my mother who has seen the movie. But of course she didn't know Heath like I did or Ennis or the movie. A guy who I have known for some time called earlier and mentioned it, but it seemed to be more of an afterthought on his part. I felt he was just up to the usual thing of wanting me to misbehave when he pretty much should know that I will not. That's a whole other story that has nothing to do with this. However, the whole phone call made me mad too.

Jack, that is a beautiful post.

Every day on this forum I have found words and thoughts that have helped me. I don't know if I will ever be able to fully explain why this is so hard. Maybe I don't need to. I'm here where I need to be.

What we have is something to be proud of..."That kind of thing comes along once in a lifetime and you gotta hold on, or you'll lose it."

What a wonderful post, Jack, I can certainly relate.  I think it's a testament to Heath's talent that he's been able to touch us to the degree that he has.  He's left a void in many of us that will be hard, if even possible, to fill.  I went through a very intense anger phase that has thankfully evolved into what I call healthy sadness.  Acceptance, will come when it comes i suppose. Take care and you are certainly among friends here.

You know, I remember back in the "old days" when were all suffering from Brokeback Fever, we all wondered, "Why are we like this? We'll we ever get over this?" and I remember the intense feelings of grief and depression. Forgive me if this seems harsh, but I look back and think that seemed like a garden party to the way I am feeling now.

I bet the emotions and depression were more intense back then than we seem to remember now - time does mellow emotions and blurs the memory of pain. A good thing, or how would we be able to move forward?

But also, however much we grieved, however heartshot we were, a sliver of our minds and a piece of our souls must consciously or subconsciously have held on to the comforting thought that "this is fiction. Noone died in RL". No such comfort can be found now.... I think that makes it much more difficult, harsh, unrelentinig, - certainly I feel that way....

Now it's on me to agree with every single word you wrote.

You know what I did in the early days? Whenever I had seen BBM, I cried a while, then started the DVD again, warched only the first ten minutes - and there was Jack again. Young and beautiful, full of hopes and so wonderfully alive.
Can't do that now.  :'(

Yes, it's worse this time.

             I have watched so much of the media reporting of Heath's death and had the sudden
urge to watch the movie.  However sad it always made me, i needed to see Heath up and
walking around and healthy.  Alive.  i watched it and then the movie The Order.  They are both
very dark and sad.  But compared to seeing that scurroulous body bag, being wheeled out
over and over. and over.  it was helpful.  For just a while i could pretend that the only sadness
was from the fictional story of a man losing his love.  Not the real life sadness of his being gone.

I'm embarrassingly slow in the uptake, but....seeing this painting in a smaller version in Oilgun's sig line finally made it click home what it's showing me:

The classical image of someone with an angel on his one shoulder, and a devil on the other, urging him in opposite directions in life.

This didn't fully strike me all at once, since the angel/devil aspects are just versions of himself, no different in size, apparel, looks... only difference is that one is dark because of being in shadow, and one is paler, bordering on transluscent, because he's in the light.

If this is what the artist was after, I think he's succeeded - we all have urges to do good, and to do bad - and representing these by versions of the same person, whispering to him, talking him into something - yep, iit works for me. As before I do like that the middle character, the "real him" looks so uncertain, inwardly focused, weary of mindstruggles - it fits the topic.

It probably says something about me that of the good and evil aspect representations here I definitely like the darker one the best....

This portrait appeals much more to me when I interpret it as Heath the actor lending himself to the painter's vision of the concept of a struggle between good and evil within one human being, than as a direct character interpretation and presentation of Heath specifically.

Oh Mika, so very well stated and so very true. "No one had died in RL." Sigh...

I keep telling myself he is safe and at peace because he told me so himself! I know this. But the day to day is taking its toll right and making it hard for me to access that spiritual knowledge. I know it is because I am tired and didn't sleep. Things will get better...

This is one of the most touching pictures I have seen of Heath. The look on his face - that's one dad who loves his daughter.

*sigh*

I hope someone takes care of and preserves that purple cap of his, keeping it so that Matilda can have it to remember him by when she grows up (along with those black-and-red striped fingerless mittens). He seemed to wear that one everywhere, clearly bringing it along with him when he travelled.

The purple hat grew so much on me over the months. The first time we saw him in it, it was only funny and, well, another questionable fashion decision. But it became a Heath-thing. I love his consequence in doing his own thing, sartorial-wise.

What his father wrote about him, seeing him skateboarding through NYC, reminded me of this pic with the purple hat:

Philosophy of Heath Ledger

A selection of Heath Ledger's quotes:

On children: "Having a child changes every aspect of your life - for the better, of course. The sacrifices are large but what you get in return is even bigger than the sacrifices you make. I feel in a sense ready to die because you are living on in your child."

On Australia: "It sucks that I can't live in my own country [because of media attention]. That broke my heart. They obviously wanted me to punch and swear at them, looking a big bad idiot, but I was crushed. I had to introduce the film, but I could barely speak. I went straight home to Bronte, got into the bathroom and broke down."

On paparazzi: "Russell [Crowe] and Nicole [Kidman] have told me that when you first get successful, Australians love you and put you up there. Then for 10 years they beat you down; then you're fine again and they leave you alone. So you just have to get through those first 10 years ... Russell has been really nice to me, does the big brother, fist-on-the-chin thing. He says, 'You gotta stop doing finger signs at the paparazzi, because it rubs off bad on you.' I say 'I know, but my instinctive reaction is to at least make a gesture.' "

On fame: [Denying he ever spat at a photographer in 2004] "That spitting saga was so disgusting. If someone spat at me, I'd probably hit them in the face.But the more I deny it and defend myself, the more people believe I'm somehow guilty.I hated being made to feel guilty, needing to prove that I was innocent. Some paparazzi chant at me: 'Can't you take it Heath? You shouldn't be in showbiz if you can't take being followed and photographed. You need us Heath.' No I f---ing don't!"

On acting: "You don't learn how to act looking in mirrors, you can tell actors who've done that. It's dangerous, because acting is not about what your face is doing. If you act face first then you've worked out your face, but not the true thoughts inside. I work from inside out - thoughts and emotions first, and then the face follows."

As you know, I want to know more about Heath and Nick Drake, and have been watching YouTube for a few months to see if Heath's Nick Drake video shows up there.  Well, no it hasn't, but in the last few days, some Heath/Nick combo tribute videos have arrived.  Here is one of Heath images, set to a Nick Drake song.  And many of the images, maybe even a third are new to me, and maybe to you, so a good treat for us.  :-*

That's a pretty powerful tribute vid you linked to, Elle - it choked me up. I hadn't seen those swimming clips either -  that one where he dives into the waves.... lean, graceful, young, healthy, very much alive...  :-\     The lyrics were tough to listen to.  :-\


Sounds like I almost didn't like watching it, but I did. It's just so surreal still that this has happened.


Including the ones in this vid, I've seen so many lovely images now from the impromptu memorial site outside his flat. Candles, flowers, messages, cards, images - it makes for a wonderful tribute, and one that seems very much to be made by people who really cared about him and his acting in life and were truly grieved by his passing (given the look of the homemade posters and the images) - and not by people just being swept up in some momentary celebrity craze.

It's still very comforting to know that Meryl's and John's tribute card is there underneath the flowers.


More about the purple hat...

I looked back to find the last time when the purple hat was on display. This is the early January pics of the rehearsals for "Imaginarium" in London. The shoes, the mittens and of course the hat - all of them oldies and goldies among Heath's wardrobe.  *sniff*








PS: I'm wearing striped socks today - they're even more colorfully striped than the ones Heath is sporting in this image!

Hi Heathens,
I'm better today. For the fist time since last Tuesday. I managed to get through the Logo special about Brokeback, and to smile about Jake scaring the sheep. And about Heath, saying how good he and Michelle got along during filming, and then adding, with a big grin - obviously.
Tears are still not far, but I'm feeling like myself today. Still very sad, but not out of my ususal self anymore. Hope it lasts.

Oh, and I'm wearing my daughter's Heath cap today. We bought it together last fall, and only afterwards I realized it is a 'Heath cap'. Thanks to her generosity we share it. It's olive-colored and has the same shape like the one he wore in Venice, when the Brokeback crew was there in 2005.

This was great, Clarissa, thank you for sharing. Yes, mouk's photo. Amazing, huh?

Hi Heathens,
I'm better today. For the fist time since last Tuesday. I managed to get through the Logo special about Brokeback, and to smile about Jake scaring the sheep. And about Heath, saying how good he and Michelle got along during filming, and then adding, with a big grin - obviously.
Tears are still not far, but I'm feeling like myself today. Still very sad, but not out of my ususal self anymore. Hope it lasts.

Oh, and I'm wearing my daughter's Heath cap today. We bought it together last fall, and only afterwards I realized it is a 'Heath cap'. Thanks to her generosity we share it. It's olive-colored and has the same shape like the one he wore in Venice, when the Brokeback crew was there in 2005.



Hugs to you, Chrissi. I am feeling a little bit better today, too.

I decided to rummage through my reliquary and found all my ticket stubs from when I had seen the movie. I had a feeling and sure enough....viewing number 4 for me was on 1/22/2006. I went to the 3:45 pm show.

Who could have imagined, that two years later, almost to the minute, Heath would be dead? It's sort of eerie but even so, I am a great believer in paying attention to times and dates. Someone said on another thread, there are lots of circles in our lives. It is certainly true.

I remember this viewing (well, I remember all of them!) but this one...two women came in and sat in the row in front of me. I was alone. One of the women turned to me and said, "Have you seen this movie before?" and I said, "Oh yes, this is my fourth time." They gave me a really funny look and I had the first twinge of 'maybe it's not a good idea to go public with the notion of being a Brokie.'

The movie started and at about 12-15 minutes, I could see them fidgeting and acting restless. The one woman turned and gave me a look that said (without words), "You must really be a kook if you'd go see this boring movie four times!" They did settle down at the first tent scene but when it ended, they shot out of their seats. They didn't stick around for the credits or the closing two songs. Obviously, they were not brokies in the making.

Sitting in the row in front of them was a man who was by himself. He was wearing a baseball cap and a canvas jacket. When the credits and the music ended, he stood up and gave me this wistful smile and nodded at me. I nodded back to him and I remember thinking, "He's living an Ennis life."

Two years to the day. Who knew?

Nope, he's younger there - that's definitely pre-Brokeback. Looks to be ca. Knight's Tale movie period Heath to me.

The press is as reliable as ever.... I bet they've mixed the text to this pic up with the famous incident in 2006 (or early 2007??) when Heath and Michelle  on vacation gave the paps the finger and told them in no uncertain terms what to do.

I think the following link gives you an image from 2006/2007  - but BE WARNED! If you all just wanna look at peaceful, happy pics of Heath this is image and story represent no link for you!

Does go to prove how troubled and annoyed he was with the paps though.  :-\

I saw the clip yesterday (thanks Mikaela). But seeing the pic of it, and in my mind comparing it to the lovely teapot pics from two years ago is worse.  :(

I had to smile at this, fondly. We Heathens sure have our very own terminology by now - we all know so well what "the teapot pics" refer to.... but others would be mystified.  :-* Would probably wonder whether they were served tea during the SAG ceremony, or something.


That picture from the 2008 SAGs of the closing shot of the tributes, Heath's expressive Ennis face, in the blue gloom of the big room... that's powerful. A real punch to the gut, it's so emotional.  :'( He looks shocked, surprised, confused. As in "What? What's that - I'm on the In Memoriam list? You kiddin' me? Hunh?!?"

It's so strange.... I swore off the Oscars after the Brokeback/Heath snub, - and I've kept my wow. Haven't gotten engaged in speculation, haven't read much about it, didn't see the ceremony last year. But now I shall have to watch the ceremony again (if there is one)..... because I do want to see the tribute to Heath that surely has to be included. However much I want to rage at those morons for not rewarding Heath when they had the chance. They'd better give him a decent tribute at least.

Article: Jake Is Taking Heath's Death 'Harder Than Most'
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20174820,00.html (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20174820,00.html)

A Funny Excerpt:
The 27-year-old's somber mood is a sharp contrast to the happier times on the set of Brothers. During one intense early prison scene, Gyllenhaal jokingly reached into his pocket and took out a picture of his Brokeback beau to stick on the prison wall. "Like those prisoners put [loved ones] on the wall, but Jake's was Heath Ledger," one set source recalls. "That was hilarious. It was a nice moment."

Yes, I think it was posted before, as well as other pics of young Heath. This thread is almost 400 pages long, so there are many pics posted twice, and some favorites many more times.

Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush....

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfGc4wcil2g[/youtube]

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

Bad dreams in the night.
They told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot
Falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love.
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.

Too long I roam in the night.
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights,

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know it's me--Cathy!

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!

Lol. I should have changed it a long time ago, but couldn't bring myself to it... That's the German opera singer Diana Damrau at her last performance ever as Queen of the Night in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte at the Metropolitan Opera in New York last November. She is admittedly one of the best coloratura sopranos of her generation, and she's from Bavaria.  :)

I have interviewed her a couple of years ago and have been a fan ever since. She is just a very lovely and ridiculously talented lady. We (me, my husband and little daughter) had the pleasure to see her at the Met as Pamina in November.

She was the first soprano ever to do both roles (Pamina and the Queen) in one production.

Thank you for explaining. I would never have guessed - she looks rather like Mefisto there, doesn't she? But now that I know, she does look a fitting Queen of the Night.

Oh, die Zauberflöte.... I've never seen it in RL  :-\ but I really, really want to. And seeing it at the Met - wow! That must have been a fantastic experience!  :)

And on it, I found four music videos directed by Heath!  How come we've never heard about these?  The other three aren't on YouTube, so I am linking to where you can watch them on the Masses website.  Hopefully, I can learn how to actually embed them here.

He made all these, Clarissa? I can't wait to look at them when I get home...

I have a question about Heath's tattoos. He seems to have one on the inside of his arm, one of a big black square with circles in it. Is that even real? What do you think it means (if it means anything at all... LOL).

It is real, Mel. I remember the first time I saw it was when he was being interviewed in Toronto (the Toronto film festival, last spring. He was wearing a black tee shirt for the interview). I interpreted it to be three balloons, one for him, Michelle, and Matilda. It was his "family" tattoo. (The one on his wrist is his other family tattoo, with the initials of his mother and sisters.)

I never read this anywhere, so I may be completely wrong. But that's the way I saw it.

On his other inside forearm, he had a big bird--an eagle, I think.

(((Leslie)))

I bet the emotions and depression were more intense back then than we seem to remember now - time does mellow emotions and blurs the memory of pain. A good thing, or how would we be able to move forward?

But also, however much we grieved, however heartshot we were, a sliver of our minds and a piece of our souls must consciously or subconsciously have held on to the comforting thought that "this is fiction. Noone died in RL". No such comfort can be found now.... I think that makes it much more difficult, harsh, unrelentinig, - certainly I feel that way....



Yes, Mikaela, I think that made it a lot easier for me to 'fake normalcy' back then, compared to now...

I heard he got the leaf in Canada, as a way to commemorate BBM and falling in love with Michelle. Re: the dragonfly...this is from JustJared.com on November 14, 2007.

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/Maine/heath-ledger-dragonfly-tattoo.jpg)

Heath Ledger shows off his brand new dragonfly tattoo while chatting with director Todd Haynes at the screening of their new film I’m Not There at NYC’s Bowery Hotel on Tuesday. (This is the film where Heath and six other actors embody a different aspect of the musician Bob Dylan’s life and work.)

Heath, 28, recently got a new upper right arm tattoo of a dragonfly, which symbolizes freedom and change (he separated from actress Michelle Williams back in August).

I'm a little over a third of the way through it, and love it.  Would some a y'all read it, please, so we can talk about it?

Thanks Chrissi, I was talking about this tattoo with a friend of mine and we both agreed that it must've hurt quite a bit... It's not pretty, but it must've meant something to him, because he thought his tattoos over very well. And it's unique.

'My friend Heath would never commit suicide'



By Brian Pendreigh
TRAGIC Hollywood star Heath Ledger was working with a veteran Scottish screenwriter and producer on what was to be his debut as a film director, it emerged last night.

Scots film veteran Allan Shiach was working on dead star's directorial debut. Allan Shiach, who has a string of hit movies to his name, was due to meet Ledger tomorrow to finalise preparations for The Queen's Gambit, a high-tension drama about a delinquent teenage girl who turns out to be a chess prodigy.

Yes, that's the one.  :)

I am actually baffled about the many projects Heath had going on in his life... Collectively it must have represented a huge strain on him, especially as he wasn't sleeping much. Filming "Imaginarium", pre-production looping and the like on TDK, heavy promotional work upcoming for TDK, and then working on realizing this "Queen's Gambit" project and planning his first stint as director. Just reading Terry Gilliam's and others' notes from the Brothers Grimm casting and filming reminded me how much work it would be to get QG off the ground, how many financial and artistic pieces of the puzzle would have to be fit together...

Yes, but I suspect that even though he doesn't care about Heath, he cares about you and sees that this is a difficult and challenging time for you. And in that way, he is a Brokie husband.

At least, that's the way it is working in my house.

Yea but it was the biggest snow stom of the decade (maybe longer). Still, I was not surprised. I continued to refer to him as the clown mayor.

Got ourselves just 9 kids at school today (out of 145) and a full staff. And for what? 9 inches of snow?!!

Still I'll take the light day. I'm clearing some things off my desk, getting ready for the magic retirement date coming in late March - 31 working days left! Yee Haw!

Man, MY husband is wonderful, and he liked BBM, but he's completely clueless about the mourning-Heath thing, and the Brokie thing in general.  I've been spending more time here lately since Jan 22, and he doesn't stop giving me crap about it (which is why I hang out here in the mornings while he's still in bed)!

FROM YOUR LIPS TO GOD'S EARS - "May the prediction or wish you are making come true." Used to express appreciation for someone's hope that matters will turn out well. Also in the form 'from your mouth.' Often shortened to 'from your lips'. From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).

Interesting, I've never heard that expression before. Thanks!

Here is the Ellen episode with Heath on it where he talks about Brokeback, getting nominated for an Oscar, and how they named Matilda.  From January 2006



It is really great to watch him so happy and Ellen so bubbly.  And he juggles!

I discovered yesterday while posting that I've entered a new phase. A phase where the past tense is the one that comes to mind. I know it's true, now. That happened over night and doesn't make me one iota less sad, but I'm over the denial and "I can't believe it" phase.  :-\

To make up for that;  do look at this lovely picture, it's one I'd never seen before:

Regarding the picture of Heath pushing the stroller:

The other guy in the photo also appears in the second photo (over at DC), apparently taken after a stop at Starbucks, I believe, or some coffee shop.  (Both Heath and him are carrying cups.)

Do we know who this guy is?  Not that it matters... I guess I'm nosy.  :)

Edited to add the second photo posted at DC.

This pic is so funny to me.  Kind of comical.  It looks like Matilda is waving at the photog.  And she has a purple knit cap on, like the one daddy likes to wear.

Kids are innately funny anyways.  And you can pile any clothes on a toddler, and they won't care.  So of course Heath dresses her as he would dress himself: just throw any crazy stuff on . . .  I think it's hilarious!

~~~~~~~~~

Would Heath have bothered to blow out his hair?  I doubt it . . . I think he has hair kind of like mine: curly if short and air-dried, straight if grown long and combed out.

I just watched "The Four Feathers." It is full of Heath goodness. There are a quite a few scenes where he looks and sounds remarkably like Ennis. Amazingly, I got through the whole thing without breaking down. Maybe I am getting better. It was good to see him alive and active and imagine him being...alive and active.

I also though it might be taken the same day, - but he's wearing other trousers and another sweather as well. (there's a full-body pic of the one with Matilda on his shoulders floting around the net). So therefore I figured that.... it's maybe another day. Perhaps the next day? But Matilda is wearing exactly the same clothes, so:

Hmm. Matilda was big enough there to have a mind of her own. Little girls in my family around that age have been very loudly insistent about specific items they want to wear, or absolutely need to bring along with them. So I thought that perhaps - while of course one of the grown-ups of the family must have bought her the purple hat and the weird sunglasses, - she may have liked them a lot and yelled her way into using them on a daily basis.... liked them, because that's what she'd seen her daddy wearing a lot.  :-\  :-\

I almost hope I'm wrong in this.



About the straight hair.... it's just newly washed and brushed out, is my guess.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: MaineWriter on February 02, 2008, 07:03:17 pm
She looks like her outfit is absolutely identical so it makes me think it is the same day, but maybe one picture in the morning and one in the afternoon. In the morning it was cooler and he was more bundled up with a sweater and scarf; in the afternoon, the heavier sweater is gone and scarf and his hair is tucked up under his hat. I don't know about the pants, since I can't see them on the Matilda shoulders picture.

She's just bundled up, period, because that's what you do with little kids (at least my little kids!).

I think the pictures were taken the same day. It seems to me he had a jacket or a sweater on that brown striped shirt, and just took it off. He's also wearing the same gloves and hat in all pictures.

Wow, I recently almost ordered a brown-and-black-striped sweater just like that from a catalog! Maybe it's not too late ...

As for the hair, yes, mine's that way, too. Straighter in the winter and when it's longer. But I've never seen Heath's look quite like that before. Maybe because he usually wears it pulled back when it's long, as in the striped-sweater picture.

Yesterday I saw an hour long special on the TV Guide Channel about Heath Ledger that was quite good. I wanted to let everyone know that it will be shown again today at 4-5pm EST. I actually didn't even know the TV Guide Channel showed things like this. The only part that is irritating is the schedule of shows at the bottom of the screen, but I am going to record it to DVD.

Clarissa, I totally forgot to reply to the videos directed by Heath a few days ago. Thank you for posting the links  :-*

Here are the lyrics of Ben Harper's Reason to mourn. If you want you can paste&copy them into your post with the video link:

Reason To Mourn

I can' t know the hell you love
But i know you' ve had enough
Some baptize in water some in flames
In flames
In flames

Don' t you give me a reason to mourn
Don' t you give me a reason to mourn
Look into my eyes with all your hate and scorn
But don' t you give me a reason to mourn

What has life done to you
All you ever wanted was someone to run to you
There' s more to life then what makes you cry
What makes you cry
I want save you by

Don' t you give me a reason to mourn
Don' t you give me a reason to mourn
Look into my eyes with all your hate and scorn
But don' t you give me a reason to mourn
I' ll remove the crown of sorrow wich you have been adorned
But don' t you give me a reason to mourn

Don' t you give me a reason to mourn
Don' t you give me a reason to mourn
Look into my eyes with all your hate and scorn
But don' t you give me a reason to mourn

Yes, I did notice the "hunhs" in LOD. Didn't notice the cowboy, and I can't remember about the Del Mar.

Earlier today I watched LOD with only a few tears now and then, but mostly managed to keep my mind on the movie, not on Heath.
Now I've just watched Heath accepting an award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival (Clarissa posted it on the I love everything Heath thread) - and I'm done.
Never again we'll see him accepting anything, no more interviews, never again. He should receive so many awards in the next what? - fifty years, he should watch his little girl growing up. He should not be carried around the world in a coffin, he should not be buried in the family plot (yes, articles used the phrase). Michelle shouldn't have to raise Matilda without her daddy, Matilda shouldn't look at pictures and movies of a man who was her daddy, but she can't remember him, Heath's parents shouldn't have to go through this. He should be smiling, make goofy faces and continue to make movies and questionable sartorial choices.
I'm definitely done for the moment. This seems all so wrong.

Maybe it will better once we know he's been laid to rest...you know, closure and all that. It seems to take forever... I'm sure his family have their reasons for the long period before the burial, and all the travellin that they have had to go through, but still...

Earlier today I watched LOD with only a few tears now and then, but mostly managed to keep my mind on the movie, not on Heath.
Now I've just watched Heath accepting an award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival (Clarissa posted it on the I love everything Heath thread) - and I'm done.
Never again we'll see him accepting anything, no more interviews, never again. He should receive so many awards in the next what? - fifty years, he should watch his little girl growing up. He should not be carried around the world in a coffin, he should not be buried in the family plot (yes, articles used the phrase). Michelle shouldn't have to raise Matilda without her daddy, Matilda shouldn't look at pictures and movies of a man who was her daddy, but she can't remember him, Heath's parents shouldn't have to go through this. He should be smiling, make goofy faces and continue to make movies and questionable sartorial choices.
I'm definitely done for the moment. This seems all so wrong.
 :'( :'( :'(



Yes he should. He had SO much more to do with his life, so much more to give and to achieve, and now he,ll never do any of that. It is tragic that Matilda won,t remember her daddy. She,ll have to be shown pictures of him and told who he is. She,ll have to watch his movies to "see" him. He should be pushing her in her pushchair, whilst she,s wearing her funky glasses and eating an icecream. Michelle should still have the man she obviously still loved very much, even though they were apart. Heaths parents should still have their son, and his sister should still have her baby brother, and Jake should still have his best friend. Just think, there won,t be any more pictures of them on stage recieving awards together or giving a speech together. When Jake stands on stage, there,ll be an empty space where Heath should be. :'( And to cap it all, he shouldnt be being buried. He should be ALIVE, with the people who love him.  This is just so bloody unfair. 28 years old and that,s it, gone. :'( :'( :'(

I did the same thing!  :laugh:

Yes, I did notice the "hunhs" in LOD. Didn't notice the cowboy, and I can't remember about the Del Mar.

That's one of my favorite Heath roles. He is so convincing as that character, you can hardly believe it's the same person who played Ennis.




And even harder to believe he's the same person playing in the other Venice movie, Casanova.

When we went to the Aero on Feb 13, 2006, in Santa Monica, Henrypie and I stayed in a hotel in Venice.  It was incredibly inexpensive compared to the other hotels right around it, and from the website was quite nice, and just a couple of blocks from the beach.  So we get there, and discover why it was so cheap.  Yes, it was a nice hotel, one of the nicest along there, but getting renovated.  it had blue tarps and scaffolding all the way around it, and we had to keep our curtains closed because workers would go by right outside the window in mid-air.  Also, very loud, very large power tools.  :)  We were barely there, just one night, and hardly in the room.  But it explained the extremely low price.  :)


Update for another memory:

In the middle of the night, I woke up because henrypie was leaning over the space between our beds rattling a piece of paper near my face.  In the morning she explained that that was what she did to her cat when he snored...  :laugh:  Sorry henrypie.  :-*

I think a lot of us are edgy and sad because, after nearly two weeks of media barrage, speculation and uncertainty, we are close to having a piece of real news.  Also, I think that the final phase of his funeral and burial represent a certain finality to this protracted event that has been so public and so painful.

One thing I have learned in the last two weeks of reading all sorts of news and a lot of not-news is, I don't trust the news.

I'm relieved that  the toxicology report came back with no traces of heroin or other things that had been reported in the vulgar press. It will add closure for many, i.e. Heath wasn't a junkie as had been posted by cynics on other msg boards.

But as you say, it won't bring Heath back.  It's still quite sad.  My mood remains the same.   :(
I guess with this news release, Heath will fade from media attention.  When the new Batman movie comes out, I'm sure Heath's final performance will be praised and ppl will wonder what might have been.

Hey, the good news with that, Chrissi, is that others might be ordering it too.  It actually went out of print once, I think I read.  I'll still be glad to talk about it with you.  I'm trying to read it slowly.

Leslie's post came in as I was writing this.  I already started it a while back (it's how come me end up recommending it).  I'm about 3/4 of the way through it.  But I'd like to participate anyway we come up with reading it as a group.

A look at how Heath Ledger viewed his career
BY JOE NEUMAIER

This interview with Heath Ledger ran in the New York Daily News on November 16, 2006.
Actor Heath Ledger isn't joking about his career path
Heath Ledger is still young - 27 - and has done barely a dozen films since coming to America from Perth, on the Australian coast, in the late 1990s. But audiences can be forgiven for thinking there are two Heath Ledgers: the pretty but unpromising kid with the Bob Geldof-circa-1985 hair who starred in "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999) and "A Knight's Tale" (2001), and the mature young father who truly broke out in 2005, and, in "Brokeback Mountain," gave an Oscar-nominated, heartbreaking performance.
It's a revelation that isn't lost on Ledger, who despite his newfound gravity begins an interview by jokily pretending to go out the window when a reporter walks in. Then sitting down and rolling a cigarette, he discusses his new film, "Candy," opening Friday, and mulls a career change others might wait decades for - and which is about to include playing Batman's archvillain.
"When I was making those [early] roles, I was really youthful and careless and I wasn't attached to anything," he says. "I didn't even really care about performance - it was silly and commercial, and I would [have felt] way too concerned with myself if I took it seriously. Where the film was shot was more appealing to me than what it was.
"And so it was just a reflection of a time of my life. From 18 to 22, I was alone, living in L.A. with a bunch of friends, partying. It was more a direct reflection of that. I don't know if I knew, or cared to know, what I was capable of back then. And I guess I'm just starting to, for lack of a better word, care more."
And that, it seems, has made all the difference. Ledger - who started his career on Australian TV in his teens - first gave intimations of deeper things in "Monster's Ball" (2001), in a small role as Billy Bob Thornton's ill-fated son, but that film's turnaround belonged to Halle Berry. Four years later came "Brokeback," a film several actors had passed on during years of development. Ang Lee's movie, starring Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as ranch hands who fall in love, spawned a minor cottage industry of jokes, but it earned Lee a Best Director Oscar and was one of 2005's most critically respected films. And Ledger was the dark horse in the Best Actor race, ultimately losing to Philip Seymour Hoffman for "Capote."

"When I started to watch some of the films I'd done, I realized I was doing movies that I might not actually want to see," Ledger says with a small smile. "I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices - it reflects on who I am. So I became more respectful of that.
"While I was doing press for 'Knight's Tale,' I felt like a product ... and it felt like a 'Here for a good time, not a long time' kind of thing. It dawned on me that I was sitting at this junction, and these choices would dictate my future, and I just put the brakes on it."
So rather than do more empty action like "The Four Feathers" (2002) and "The Order" (2003), Ledger got serious (even last year's romp "Casanova" was a step up). In "Candy," which he filmed prior to "Brokeback's" release, he plays a young Aussie whose heroin addiction is also taken up by his girlfriend (Abbie Cornish) before both are nearly destroyed by it. The gritty indie film's depiction of drug use is tough instead of bleak chic, more "The Man With the Golden Arm" than "Trainspotting."
"It was like I diverted off the map and took a back road to the place I wanted to get to," Ledger says.
The actor, who'd previously dated Heather Graham and Naomi Watts, met his fiancee, Michelle Williams, on the set of "Brokeback" (she also was Oscar-nominated for it). They now live in Brooklyn, and being a dad - their daughter, Matilda, just turned 1 - and living in New York instead of L.A. has helped ground him, he says.
He'll be seen in Todd Haynes' upcoming "I'm Not There," and he's starting to perfect his cackle for his role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight," director Christopher Nolan's followup to 2005's "Batman Begins." Christian Bale will again be the Caped Crusader.
The Joker was last played onscreen by Jack Nicholson in 1989's "Batman," but Ledger isn't white-faced when he considers the challenge.
"I think [getting the role] was tougher for other people to comprehend than it was for me," Ledger says, giving a crooked grin as he smokes out a window. "I'm looking forward to it. A part of me feels like I've been warming up to [playing the Joker] for years. In 'The Brothers Grimm,' [director] Terry Gilliam helped me put on a sort of clown act and adjust to that sort of pace. And I feel it's something within me I know how to do. I like putting on a mask. It'll be dark and sinister and exciting.
"Not being a huge comic book fan, and not one to really follow comic book movies, I'm relaxed about it," he adds. "The kids in the neighborhood are on to me, though."

See now reading all that Clarissa just proves one thing to me. Heath,s work wasn,t done atall. How could it be? He was only 28 years old. He had his beautiful daughter to live for. He had SO much more to achieve professionally. He should have been around for the next 30/40 years to see his daughter grow up for one thing. How could his work possibly have been done? He must have had so many plans for  his future and for Matilda.  He had far too much to live for to die. It,s just so bloody unfair.  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Right.  That's the one.  Walter Tevis also wrote The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Hustler, and The Color of Money, which all were made into successful films.


Fabienne, let us know how watching "Candy" goes.  I turned it off about 20 minutes into it (a few months ago), because it was so intense.  But now that I know there won't be more Heath films,  :-\  I do plan on getting around to watching it.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: MaineWriter on February 07, 2008, 09:36:41 am
This is my free advice and it's worth every penny....

Fabienne, I wouldn't be emotionally prepared to watch Candy today, tomorrow, or even next week. Heath is a junkie who shoots up in the very first scene. Given all that has gone on in the past two days, I just don't know that I could watch that--and for me, that would be seeing it again. As a first time experience? Personally, I'd be a wreck.

Just my thought.

I'll repeat what I said a few days ago: I loved Heath in The Four Feathers. He's incredibly handsome in the beginning when he's wearing his Royal Cumbrian uniform. He looks good in the desert scenes. And he looks great at the end, when he's older and wiser. The Four Feathers is a Heath film I can watch right now. Candy....no.

They've given me an ETA of Feb. 15. The book was just confirmed as shipped, though, so unless it disappears en route (happened when I bought the "Candy" DVD which never arrived...) should probably be here around the date they've indicated.

Okay, I'll fess up..

I've already watched the beginning scenes. This movie was never released here in Belgium and I was very curious about it. I started with watching the interview with Heath. He was his normal fidgety self, sometimes not really knowing what to say, but I was okay watching it. I even heard him clearing this throat, Ennis-style, which made me smile. The opening scenes are harrowing, that's right. But Heath wasn't there...



I've already watched Brokeback Mountain again and I'm glad I did. It was more intens, more emotional. But what I'm trying to say is, I was watching Jack and Ennis. The tragedy with Heath didn't get in the way of really getting into the story again (and being completely overwhelmed by it again either!). I guess that's just a testament of how good an actor Heath really was.( :( I hate to put this 'was' here, but I have to)

And I was thinking about your post Leslie from yesterday when you said that Heath would be sad to see us all so upset and sad. He wouldn't want that. After all the sadness yesterday, today I feel like I need closure. I want him laid to rest now, I want his family, Michelle, Jake and all the others to be left alone to grieve. I don't want to see any pictures from the funeral.

I want to be able to think about Heath and shake my head in happy, grateful wonderment that this man, because of his art, his intensity, had such an impact on my life. And that I was 'open' to this experience.

I don't want to be sad no more.  :-\  I'm sure there will be bad moments to come, though, but I want to be more grateful than sad.

But there's no rush in seeing Candy, besides I still have Ned Kelly on my dvd recorder.

Thanks for the Four Feathers pics Leslie! Yeah, sartorial!

In the picture of the four Ledger generations, there is little if any resemblance between them all -- judging from the photo.

Tell that to people who say Bobby couldn't possibly be Jack's son because they don't look alike!  ;D

This is one I definitively haven't seen before; it's from the TDK site. I'll also add the whole TDK page, because I think they reacted good and appropriately. They took everything down and only showed the attached page. Meanwhile it's back to the Batman logo first, but everything else is still taken down. When you click the Batman logo, you come to the Heath memorial page, nothing else is up.
I understand that they have to continue with the movie and it's marketing campaign, but I appreciate that they haven't yet. Gives me hope they'll find a way to do it considerate and appropriate.

Chrissi, wonderful collage of pictures you posted. Great job!

And I agree, the TDK statement is really beautiful. You really get the sense in reading and hearing people who worked with Heath, that he was a special man who touched those around him. He was never 'a guy they worked with'.

I just got hold of my March issue of Total Film Magazine. It went on sale in the UK 21. January, but takes time to get here. Anyway, it obviously went to print just days before Heath... you know.  :-\

And it reads like such a letter from the past, a mere 3 weeks ago, when Heath owned the world and nothing seemed wrong! It's so strange, and oddly disorienting to be reminded where we were, just a short while ago... The mag is "business as usual". They already had the obligatory "Most Anticipated films of -08" in a previous issue (including much ado about TDK), and Heath had no movies premiering - so I really didn't expect him to feature in this magazine. But boy, was I wrong:


There's a big bonus poster with the mag; - the Joker, knife in hand, against Gotham's skyline. 

There's an image of Jack and Ennis in the mag's calendar of days, saying that they invite everyone on a specific day (Feb. 19, as amatter of fact) to come discuss online whether Brokeback should have won its Oscar.

In the "what's happening just now" section - there's a pic of Heath in carnival attire while shooting an "Imaginarium" scene, with some lines on him and that film, and when its ETA is. Was.   :-\

And they've got a Total Film Hot 100 list as their feature item - presenting their take on "The trailblazers and Talent who will shake the Movies in 2008". Of course, Heath's on the list - he's no. 40. In the blurb that follows his image they write, among other things; "Going by the charismatic Aussie's current Post-Brokeback form we have nothing to fear except, well, the gash-mouted action clown himself...."  Well, turned out there were other things to fear...  :'(


So yeah, that was the movie world less than 3 weeks ago. Heath's presence was noticable, he was very visible,  interest and anticipation and praise surrounding him for roles both past and present.... lot of honest movie interest for his talent and films.

A very strange read. Like time has curled in on itself and nothing bad had happened yet.... Only 3 weeks ago that was another world.

I just finished watching Lords of Dogtown.  I noticed that near the end, they play the Neil Young song "Old Man," which apparently got played at Heath's funeral today, according to one article I read.  The song "Wish You Were Here," a favorite of several Heathens, was also in Lords of Dogtown.

Well, I just went to YouTube to see if there was a version of "Old Man" to put here, and someone has made a Heath tribute with the song.  Whew.  One of the earliest images in the tribute is Heath sitting next to Emile Hirsch in the scene from LOD that has the song in it.
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXg14-kDcaQ[/youtube]

Turns out same for "Wish You Were Here."  How many Heath tribute videos are there?

Reporting on a radio tribute to Heath that I listened to this past Saturday. The radio station KMFA (89.5 FM), at 10:00 a.m., devoted their hour-long special show "Film Score Focus" to excerpts from the soundtracks to various films Heath appeared in, "in memory of Heath Ledger". The film soundtracks featured were The Patriot, The Four Feathers, The Brothers Grimm, and Brokeback Mountain. My favorite sound clips were those from Brokeback Mountain (all compositions excerpted were by Gustavo); I cried at "Opening", not at all unexpectedly.

As of now there's just a picture there, which looks quite enchanting btw, and "Coming Soon". Have a look - is that Heath in the picture's right? (Clicking the picture makes it BIGGER!

And clicking the bigger picture again makes it really huge and detailed.  But I'm not sure if that's Heath.  Doesn't seem so - but hey, you all had to convince me that was his voice doing the Joker in the Dark Knight trailer, so who knows.

    According to one report.  This is the sonnet that Michelle Williams read
for the private burial.  Where only ten members of the family attended.
But who knows really except for those in attendance.




                  Sonnet 18:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,
Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time though growest.
So long as men can breath or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
-William Shakespeare, 1592.

Maybe in parts? Limit the discussion to the first third at the beginning, then the second, then the last third? And safe overall comments and perceptions for later, when everybody has read the whole book?

This structure would have two advantages in my opinion: First, the slower readers wouldn't read spoilers. Second, discussion might be more detailed. At the end of the book, you might already have forgotten something you originally wanted to say about chapter three for example.

The book isn't very thick, so I think three parts (plus closing comments about the book as a whole) are enough. If we divide it into more parts, it might get too ramified.

What do others think?

There are a few natural parts to separate it into, and I can go through and make a suggestion of what those are.  The storytelling in the book is in a straight chronological line, so will be esy to divide up.  Maybe make it a part a week, or sumpn.  I'll suggest divisions in the next day or so.

I don't know whether it's appropriate to put here, but there is a photo shoot and interview with Michelle Williams from before Heath's death that talks about Matilda and about herself and her life in pictures:

Yes, and this one is very stunning too!

I am entirely sure this is not what you were thinking of, but the rock formations immediately reminded me of this painting by Leonardo. And Heath was his very own work of art, so....

No, not that complicated. Much, much simpler.
The pic reminds me of Ennis sending up a prayer of thanks.

I have it from Ledgersladies. They say it's from a photoshoot in 2001 for Ragazza magazine (never heard of it). The famose b/w ones with the straw hat seem to be from the same shoot, at least they're in the same folder. There are also more pics with the beach and rocks.
Here's the whole shoot:

That lilac hat looks hand-knitted in close-up, not store-bought. I wonder who would have knitted it for him. Does anyone know? Neither his mother, nor step-mother look like the kinda ladies who'd be into knitting.  :-\  Michelle, maybe?   :)

I just hit the jackpot. Do you all know what Facebook is? It's like a social networking site, like Myspace, that started out as only being for college students (now anyone can join). Anyway, you can make groups, and add pictures to the group pages. It just occurred to me that people probably made groups about Heath, so today I put Heath Ledger into the search box, and there are hundreds of groups! (Of course it goes without saying that I wish it was for a different reason... :-\) I looked through the pictures of a few of them, and there are A LOT that I've never seen before. Apparently there's a lot of Heathens out there who are good at finding pictures. I'm probably going out soon, but I'll try to get to postin' as soon as I can.

Yes. I rarely peek inside this thread anymore. It still hurts too much. In fact, I had to remove Heath's picture from my profile. Everytime I posted something I'd see his face looking at me. Maybe I will put it back up in a few weeks. :(

As I said in the 'now what' thread?  I'm just the same as you, I'm not strong enough emotionally to look at his photos, read most articles or watch his films yet.  I'm sure it'll get easier as time goes, but I'm just not ready yet.

I saw Brokeback tonight on the big screen  for only the second time ever in a theater with 3 fellow Brokies and about 30 other people, and could not take my eyes off of Heath.  His expressions, the way he uses his mouth and his body to characterize Ennis, were amazing.  This was after watching one of his earliest performances, where glimpses of Heath's Ennis can be seen... it was magnificent.  What a gift to be able to see Brokeback on the big screen again - it blew me away.

I watched No Country for Old Men last night and there was this scene in which Tommy Lee Jones does something with his face and I almost yelled to my boyfriend "That's Ennis, that's soooo Ennis!". I have a feeling Lee Jones might've watched Brokeback for inspiration for his character. He hardly moves his mouth, just like our Ennis!

There's something else that I think is striking, and that's that I can't go to People.com and watch pics of celebrities having fun somewhere, I just can't believe those people are just having fun when the world has come to a stop with the most talented actor among them having departed. It's silly, I know, but it's just how I feel.

No it,s not silly atall. I know what you mean. It,s almost as if you feel resentfull that other people are out and about smiling, laughing and living life, and you want to shout...."hey, what are you so damn cheerful for"!
I really thought I was starting to do ok, until last night when I watched 10 Things I hate about you, and saw Heath singing. That finished me off completly. Now I,m sitting here feeling really down again. Last night I cried...........again. ffs what is the matter with me? I mean this is crazy isn,t it?

aw, souxi, but in a way, you did know him.  He was important to you (all of us).  It's okay to be upset and frustrated.

You probably knew/know more about him than maybe you know about your coworkers or neighbors.  Just because he didn't know you, doesn't belittle what you felt/feel for him.

Can someone wake us up and tell us all that we,ve dreamt it and it didn,t really happen?  :'( :'( :'(



That it was all a sick joke, or as the Joker says in the trailer "It's all part of the plan..." as in the Dark Knight marketing plan. That's a really silly and crazy thought.

Yes, I'm also still waiting for this.  :(


It has sunk in, mostly. But there are still moments when it hits me. When I think about something completely different, and then suddenly, I remember.  :'(

Exactly! That happens to me too - several times a day. It just suddenly hits you.

I can't watch any celebs having fun either... They should all be mourning and they don't. .. (many do of course, though not publicly I guess..).

It's not even a month ago that he died and yet, everything seems back to normal out there.. 'tis not right!

If only it could be a joke.. Even a very very bad one! Today I had my monthly watercolour-workshop and in one of my small paintings I inscribed 'The Joker'.. It seems that there is so very little we can do about our grief.. 'tis not right!  :'(

What I haven't been able to get over is just what seems like the unfairness of it all.

I mean, there are surely thousands of great artists out there — talented, sensitive and perceptive souls (we just haven't heard of them). Plenty left over to contribute and fill the void. But it just seems so unfair.

In this society (the USA I mean) what qualities seem to get rewarded the most?  Good business and commercial instincts, beancounting, and "salesmanship" — a backslapping, bullshit-artist exterior.  Heath Ledger was an antithesis of that.  (He was one of the few great artists to reap good financial rewards, but he was definitely an exception in that regard, and the $ didn't seem to change or corrupt him.)

But yeah, I keep coming back to a King Lear quote:  "Why should a dog, a horse, a rat have life, and she no breath at all?"
or:  "Why should car salesmen, corrupt politicians and Fred Phelps have life, and Heath no breath at all?"

It's a fanart for sure, but the back shot of Heath was taken from the trailer that aired with I am Legend in IMAX cinemas.  I would think this is made by the Batman fans, they are crazy about this shot.

I'm sorry, I was completely unclear. I guess that's what I get for just doing a quick post-n-run before class.

What I secretely meant, unbeknownst to anyone else, is that the pic above the dates was a pic from The Dark Knight, that showed in a preview or something. Yes, I'm sure someone later added the dates at the bottom. I think what I was trying to say was just that yes, this is a Heath pic. Personally, if I had not been told that it was Heath, I wouldn't have known.

(I'm Courtney, by the way. Nice to meet you!)

Sorry for the mix-up!  :)

He has kind of a Johnny Depp look going on there.  Heath looks so different as a brunette than as a blond . . . (HOT in all cases, though).


BTW Johnny Depp is helping finish Heath's role in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Well, I seem to know and live around people who enjoy the movie now and again, but seem not as much 'affected' by actors/actresses/directors/shows/series as I am (can be). I mean, it's not silly infatuation (though I do like to 'meet' the actors when possible), but respect for what they do and who/what they represent. I'm sure a lot here are in the same situation were you can't share with your friends how much you are a fan, for fear of being looked at strange. I mean, at my age I'm supposed/expected to be serious and not running around chasing authographs, taking part in Brokie meetings or similar. I'm saying this, because I have had a couple of stupid remarks.

Anyway, I put Heath's Joker on the wall because it looks artistic (it's printed black and white but painted the mouth red..) and I have a few other things on the wall in my office. It's not all that bad. People do put pictures/posters on the wall in the office, but I think it would look odd if I'd put up a big picture of Heath, when others have calendars or their children's pictures on the wall. Anyway, it's probably also a bit a kind of protection against stupid questions and especially me having to explain who he is, what recently happened and why he's on my wall. I really don't want to have to reply to stupid questions. My cat is named Brokie and when people ask about the name and I explain its origin, I've had people looking at me weird. Some people don't know about BBM and seemed puzzeled or not interested in the end. And that's frustrating.

It's easier when you talk to someone who you know understands. I have one friend my age who's happy to 'go silly' sometimes, but that's it.

It's so good to have BM and the Brokies!  :-*

I can really relate.  I pretty much keep my mouth shut around here, and if I try to talk about Heath's death, or indeed about the extent to which various movies, songs, or books have affected me, I am always cringing inside, waiting for the inevitable humiliating response.  Even a joke is hurtful when you feel something deeply, regardless of whether it was meant to be.  Just having my feelings made light of tends to keep me from sharing them.
 
 

my kids actually snickered about how I would handle Heath's passing - I too have learned it is better not to say anything about
BBM - I so agree with you jude, no one seems to understand except the other Brokies here :)

Hi  j.U.D.E.,

I can so identify with you about almost having to silently grieve about Heath because people do not understand. I am grateful and thankful for the Brokie community and without the people, dealing with Heath's passing would have been more difficult.

I have a beautiful BBM calendar that I have to keep boxed up because if I hang it up, people will think that I am crazy. I have been able to share my feelings with my sister who loved the movie, but I can only go so far before she starts looking at me funny.  :(

Anyway, I am still saddened by the passing of this beautiful and awesome man. :'(

A Brokie forever,

Debbie

I'm still flipping though the hundreds of Facebook groups about Heath, gathering new pics, and in the process I found this. There wasn't a link attached, but it says it's from MTV. (To be honest, I altered it a bit - the title originally said "NOT OF KNOWN," and being the grammar geek that I am, I couldn't handle it.) We all probably knew these things, but here it is.


TEN THINGS YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HEATH LEDGER-MTV

In the wake of Heath Ledger's tragic death this week, the Oscar-nominated star is being remembered as a loving father and a talented, charming actor. But while Ledger left behind a burgeoning career that stretched from starring roles in 1999's "10 Things I Hate About You" through July 18's Batman sequel, "The Dark Knight," and beyond, his résumé is even deeper than you probably thought. And as Hollywood continues to come to grips with Ledger's death, there's a lot about the soft-spoken star that most people didn't know. Here are "10 things" about Heath Ledger that might help shed more light on the sadly departed 28-year-old.

1. His name has roots in a classic British novel.

Heath and his sister Katie are named after characters in Emily Brontë's 1847 classic, "Wuthering Heights." The protagonist of the book is Heathcliff, a violent and sadistic villain, according to Columbia University professor Nicholas Dames, who specializes in 19th century British literature.

"One of the things that Heathcliff is known for in the novel is laughing, although only laughing at the spectacle of someone else's pain. In that sense, he's a deeply screwed-up figure. ... That's kind of like the Joker," Dames said, referring to Ledger's "Dark Knight" character. "The funniest thing for the Joker is hurting somebody else."

On a side note, Ledger and Michelle Williams bought a house in 2004 in Bronte Beach, a suburb of Sydney, Australia.

2. He was a Shakespearean actor.

Ledger's first major Hollywood role was in the teen comedy "10 Things," a modern-day remix of William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." But Ledger had actually dabbled in Shakespeare before that. In the mid-'90s, he joined the Globe Shakespeare Company in his hometown of Perth, Australia.

3. He was obsessed with Nick Drake.

Nick Drake was a British singer/songwriter who died in 1974 at age 26 after overdosing on antidepressants. One of Ledger's final artistic statements was a music video for Drake's song "Black Eyed Dog" that he directed and in which he starred. At the end of the clip, Heath depicts himself drowning in a bathtub.

"[In] ancient Greek culture, drowning was the worst possible death simply because your body couldn't be found," Dames said. "For a while in the 19th century, there was a fascination with drowning. ... Virginia Woolf comes to mind. ... There is this fascination [with drowning] as a method of suicide because it comes from Shakespeare."

4. His "Brokeback Mountain" character wasn't his first gay role.

Ledger wasn't afraid to play gay. And not just because he was dreaming of Oscar glory. Long before "Brokeback," one of the actor's first parts came in 1996 via an Australian TV series called "Sweat." Ledger was offered a choice of roles on the show, and he picked the character of Steve "Snowy" Bowles, a gay bicyclist. Later he reasoned that very few gay parts were being portrayed on Aussie television, and by taking the part he was more likely to be noticed.

5. He was a music man.

Last year, Ledger announced plans to start a record label with Ben Harper called "Masses Music Co." Heath also directed the rocker's 2006 video for "Morning Yearning." The song is melancholic and beautiful, and the clip depicts dancers and violinists in silhouette, drenched in sunlight and shrouded by fog.

6. His daughter's name might have an unusual connection.

Ledger and Michelle Williams' 2-year-old daughter is named Matilda Rose. We don't know why they gave their daughter this name, however, it's worth noting that there's a famous Australian folk song called "Waltzing Matilda." The lyrics tell a story that involves the death of a man who commits suicide by drowning himself in a lake.

7. Jake Gyllenhaal is Matilda Rose's godfather.

Ledger and Gyllenhaal famously co-starred in "Brokeback Mountain," the heartbreaking story of two cowboys in love. In the award-winning film, Gyllenhaal played the role of Jack Twist, who dies at the end of the film, and Ledger was Ennis Del Mar. Matilda Rose will now have Jack Twist as a surrogate father figure.

8. Ledger was a jack-of-all-trades.

As a kid, Ledger was a chess player.

"He played younger groups ... and may have played in the state tournaments, even the state championship," Norbert Muller, a spokesman for the Perth Chess Club, said. But, he added, "I don't really remember him performing that well."

Ledger also enjoyed painting.

"I love what I do, but if it all came crashing down, it wouldn't be the end of the world," he told The Sunday Times in 2000. "I'd just sit on my arse and paint."

But the young Ledger wasn't afraid of getting his hands dirty, either. He played hockey. His dad, Kim, was a race-car driver, and according to CNN.com, he spent quite a bit of time at the racetrack in his youth.

The site posted a note from a reader who identified himself as "R. of Perth," who claimed to have grown up with Ledger near a speedway racing circuit.

"I remember the night he was a little boy and his dad was racing speed cars at Claremont Speedway (my dad was in the race, too)," the reader wrote. "His dad was coming third, then, in the final corner, the two lead cars spun out and Heath's dad ... took the lead and won the state title race.

"Heath was standing a couple of rows in front of me with his mum and sister, and they were all so excited, jumping up and down and cheering," the reader continued. "He was about as happy as a little boy could be watching his dad become a champion. ... Later Heath would pit crew for Graham Jones, and I crewed for my dad and brother. Heath and I were both the youngest on our crews, so that meant our job was to take the fiberglass bonnets over to the hoses and wash the mud off after each race. Really dirty work, but he managed to stay cleaner than the rest of us."

9. Perth was Ledger's refuge.

The actor's homeland was his safe place, his refuge. Ledger's final trip to his native country was for Christmas 2007. It was a happy time.

10. Ledger's first acting role was as Peter Pan.

He played the character in a school-theater production when he was 10. Like the mystical boy who could fly, Ledger would never grow old.

TEN THINGS YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HEATH LEDGER-MTV


6. His daughter's name might have an unusual connection.

Ledger and Michelle Williams' 2-year-old daughter is named Matilda Rose. We don't know why they gave their daughter this name, however, it's worth noting that there's a famous Australian folk song called "Waltzing Matilda." The lyrics tell a story that involves the death of a man who commits suicide by drowning himself in a lake.



There is no doubt that Heath's daughter was named after the Australian song, "Waltzing Matilda"....

"Waltzing Matilda" is as Aussie as kangaroos and koalas, it is an Australian icon. It is sung as the "unofficial" national antherm at venues and ceremonies throughout the country. Aussies sing it with pride and elation and it not only brings a lump to our throat when we hear it, it makes us feel a rush of pride and elation for our country.

It would take too long to explain the words in the verses of the song, or why a song with such a story gets a hold of us Aussies, I guess you have to be an Aussie to know. Its the same as when Americans hear the Star Spangled Banner, it just makes you burst with pride, and if you are overseas, would make you cry with homesickness....thats what "Waltzing Matiilda" does to Aussies.

No doubt, Heath felt the same way about the song, and by naming his daughter Matilda, he has given her a name that is a constant reminder of his homeland and her origins.  I hope when she is older she will realize the significance of why her dad named her Matllda.

To imply that there is a "connection" with the lyrics of a man drowning himself after committing suicide, is absurd, cruel, and absolute nonsense and demeans the real reason why Heath would have called her Matilda.

Re. Waltzing Matilda...


Confession time!  :)   I was actually moved by Heath's passing to search out Waltzing Matilda and teach myself the song some 3 weeks ago. So now if I ever go to Australia, I can Waltz Matilda with the best of them.  ;)

Here are two YouTube clips that have the song.

This first is an upbeat happy version, which also talks through and explains all the Aussie terms (swagman, billabong, jombuck, tucker bag...) so clueless foreigners get what's going on. Well worth the listening.




This next is the "Seekers" Group singing the song live at a huge sports event. Really goes to show that the song serves as Australia's unofficial national anthem.




As for what I got out of the lyrics;; - a deceptively simple and down-to-earth tale of an ordinary guy, living poor and free and finding simple joys in life as he passes through that life, though it's hardscrabble, tough and no bed of roses. He grabs his opportunities where he finds them, doesn't bow to the pressures of power and authorities, and is ready to give his life for his personal freedom.

A song worthy of both Australia and Matilda Ledger, was my opinion once I got that far.  :)

I can't quote the source, but in one of the interviews back in the heyday, Michelle and Heath both said they selected "Matalida Rose" as a name for a variety of reasons, including (most importantly) they both liked the name, it's connections to Australia, particularly the song "Waltzing Matlida," and because of the Roald Dahl book, which Michelle loved.

When I was little, I had a children's record player (I am sure there are people way too young on this board to have any idea what the heck a children's record player is...LOL) and small collection of records, which I played over...and over...and over... One of those records was--you guessed it--Waltzing Matilda so the words for the song are imprinted on my brain. On one side was a guy singing the song and on the second side, he explained what the song, and some of the words meant.

This is sort of what my record player looked like, especially with the fat spindle. I didn't have all the Elvis records, though.

TEN THINGS YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HEATH LEDGER-MTV

In the wake of Heath Ledger's tragic death this week, the Oscar-nominated star is being remembered as a loving father and a talented, charming actor.

There were a lot of things there that I didn,t know for sure.  See just by reading that, it shows you just how much Heath had to live for. I had no idea he was going to start a record label. He had so many things planned for the rest of his life didn,t he? So much left to do. Now he,ll never do any of those things. There are some beautiful pictures of him on this thread too. What a killer smile he had. How could any woman resist that? Now we,ll never see it again.  :'( :'(

From the Celebrity Baby Blog:

Heath also discussed his and Michelle's baby name choice, saying,

    It just seemed right ... There's something kind of ancient about the name. It's got such a weight and beauty to it as well and, I don't know, it just rolled off the tongue.

Heath added that the name plays homage to his heritage -- many believe that the Australian national anthem should be "Waltzing Matilda," while Michelle added that it was also inspired by the Roald Dahl novel.

OMG. She looks so much like Heath. Those eyes.

Michelle's words:
"I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day.
His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up in the best memories of him."


You know, it affects me to see the resemblance between Matilda and Heath. How much worse must it be for Michelle? Guess it's a blessing and a burden for her at the moment to see Heath in Matilda.

I saw Casanova last night. And while I was able to make it through Lords of Dogtown with only a few tears a week or so ago, this wasn't true for Casanova.
I cried on and off throughout the whole movie. And what a charming movie it is, I so wish I had seen it earlier.
And then, the last frame absolutely slayed me. I have cried the last weeks, but yesterday evening I really lost it and sobbed.

Heath as Casanova was so young (it's hard to believe this was filmed after BBM) and so wonderfully vibrant and jaunty. And then to think about reality ...  :'( Guess it was this contrary which got me so much.

The New York Times has a long article by "the Bagger" with all his Oscar predictions. You can read it here.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/22/movies/awardsseason/22osca.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp

I just wanted to excerpt the last few paragraphs for my Heathen friends...

The Broadcast: All Is Subtext

JON STEWART He got through his first year as host in 2006 with élan. Expectations are lower this year because the writers’ strike left less time to prepare. Look for Mr. Stewart to cross the line to good effect a time or two.

REMEMBER THE WRITERS’ STRIKE? Well, the actors’ contract is up in June. Will they make nice from the podium or cock the gun with smiles on their faces?

HEATH LEDGER He should have had a long career, making many laps as a presenter and an honoree. This is his year for all the wrong reasons, and you will be hearing his name recalled in memoriam and sadness.

THE COENS Hollywood loves Joel and Ethan Coen, but can the Coens love it back? Probably not.

THANKS FOR NOTHING How is it that the honorees always seem to find time to acknowledge their dog walker, but never manage to turn attention to the people they shared a category with? A quirk of the acting profession that the Bagger has never figured out is why many actors never take the time to dwell for a few seconds on the amazing performances of their peers.

ALL PARTS EQUAL The main reason the awards can tend toward the dreary is that all categories are equal. Makeup and best picture are treated with the same pomp, and each winner receives the same 45 seconds. Dumb.

PEACE PIPE Warring factions from the writers’ strike will smile and act as if nothing ever came between them. Producers will thank writers, writers will thank producers.

AUTHENTIC MOMENT There will be one somewhere in those three hours, but you have to keep your eyes peeled. Could be a surprise winner losing it à la Halle Berry or some egomaniac hugging himself and his statuette with a little too much ferocity. (Think of James Cameron and “Titanic.”)

BUSH WHACKING Hollywood wants a new director in chief and someone will go there.

ALL THE FIXINGS Because Vanity Fair canceled the after party, the In-N-Out Burger near the Kodak Theater is going to be pretty busy.

Much as I do like Jon Stewart, thinking of him in connection with the Oscars continues to give me a terribly bad taste in my mouth.

Everything to do with memories of the Oscars -06.  >:(

I don't like Jack Nicholson much either, for the same subjective reason.

In other news, I just picked up today's mail and my "Queen's Gambit" book has finally arrived! So where are the discussions happening?

How about starting on Monday (if we discuss it in parts)? If we discuss it as a whole, I'd say give it a week from now on.
Since this was Clarissa's idea, I'd say leave it to her to start a thread in the Culture tent. Clarissa, you could start the thread but keep it locked until we start discussing. This way, others still have the chance to jump on the waggon.

Just my 2cents, I'm open to whatever Clarissa or the majoritiy decides.

I have been wanting to read The Queen's Gambit since finding out it was Heath's favorite book, but I have not ordered it yet.  Will people be discussing it here?  If so, I will read it sooner rather than later.  I am just finishing up a book.

Here is an interesting coincidence - I was watching a show the other night, and the name of the episode was "The Queen's Gambit".  I guess the book is calling to me.



We are talking about having some sort of a reader's group, yes, Susie...either here or on a special thread dedicated to the discussion.

I heard this song today, and I couldn't help but think of little Matilda.

The song came out here in Australia in about 1970....written and performed by an Austrlian pop singer Brian Cadd..

I have found the lyrics, but I dont have you tube here on my laptop, so if anyone can find a link to it please post it.....its a great song.

Here are the lyrics.....

A Little Ray Of Sunshine
========================
by Brian Cadd and Don Mudie

Her fathers says she has to have a name,
not the same as her mom's, but a name just the same,
a little ray of sunshine has come into the world,
a little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl.

We'll show her the dress that she'll wear
with the gold flowing hair that nature provided
my little ray of sunshine has come into the world,
my little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl.

A little ray of sunhine -
I want to know if you think she looks good in the pink,
Grandma has bought her ... our own little daughter.

She can make you feel good,
she can make you feel that it's all worthwhile,
only by her smile, only by her smile ...

Have you noticed she's just like her father,
and I think that I'd rather
her hair was much darker,
my little ray of sunshine has come into the world,
my little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl.

She can make you feel good,
she can make you feel that it's all worthwhile,
only by her smile, only by her smile, only by her smile ...
talkin' 'bout my little ray of sunshine,
my little ray of sunshine,
little ray of sunshine,
loittle ray, little ray, little ray,
sweet little darlin',
my little ray of sunshine, woa woa woa ... hmmmm ....

Looking through these many pictures posted I'm struck by nothing as much as what a changeable, somehow mallable (sp?) face he had.

A couple of pictures including the one you posted above, Chrissi, makes me think he'd have done marvellously camping it up in drag.  8) Not that he couldn't have done just about everything marvellously.   :-\


I've thrown myself at The Queen's Gambit and it's truly a fascinating book, one of those that challenges you with a protagonist that is multi-dimensional and has her likable as well as less likable sides, where nothing is purely black or white (except the chess pieces  ::) ) - and the theme of the book for as far as I've read (I'm far from finishing It yet) seems strangely relevant to Heath's own life. So has that discussion thread been started yet?

The thought never crossed my mind, but reading it made me think of this pic:

(http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m47/Penthesilea06/Heath/HL_12.jpg)


I've always thought he looks like a woman in the above pic; the posture, the feminine sunglasses and the frills (quillings?) on the sleeve. I think I wouldn't have recognized him in this pic.
But then there's this one going with the first, and this smile I'd recognize anywhere. Same clothes (minus the frills which we don't see), but nothing feminine about Heath in this photo, despite the glasses.

Yes, well - I'll be a good girl and shut up about it till the appropriate time.  :) But I have now finished the book. I hope the impressions stay with me!

At least I can say it was a page-turner. And there definitely is stuff to discuss. Including my view of the ending. But for now:  :-X

I am whipping through the book too. It is a page turner. I have to say, if I was a chess player, it would probably be even more meaningful, but even so, it is a great read.

It's Oscar night.  :-\

I'll not be watching - out of principle, sure, but this year mainly because no TV channels here are airing live... and even if they were, it's an all-nighter that I can't afford since tomorrow is my first day at work after some time away due to illness.

So please you guys who are watching, could you please post about anything Heath-related (inclusive of links to the In Memoriam sequence and other relevant clips if you find any?) I'll be gratefully all over it come tomorrow.

Thank you and have a good night in front of the TV, those of you who watch the show.

I don't know if they'll post anything on YouTube or not. They showed an "In Memoriam" sequence that started with the dates, "February 1, 2007-January 31, 2008." It seems that he dates might have been selected to be sure to include Heath.

They showed all the folks who died during the year and the best I could tell, recalling from the news, they were presented chronologically. For alot of people they showed two clips (ie, for one director [name escapes me right now], they showed "Marty" and "A Touch of Mink"). I do think that for many of the actors and actresses they did show a clip from just one movie. Deborah Kerr, for example, they showed the "in the surf" scene from "Here to Eternity" but nothing from "The King and I."

Heath was the very last and they showed two pictures from the scene at the beginning, outside Aguirre's trailer.

The music was unremarkable. Not BBM music.

Someone commented that Brad Renfro wasn't included, but he was not a member of AMPAS and I think only Academy members were shown in the film.

Thanks for recapping, Leslie.  :) It's safe to say that I think the Academy remain a big bunch of morons, and that they showed absolutely no class in this "in memoriam" segment where Heath is concerned. I don't understand their choice of clip(s) at all - and they should have had more. What they did include to me seems the equivalent of a shrug.

I haven't even bothered searching it out on YouTube, and I'm not going to, though I guess it must be there. I don't need more aggravation from the AMPAS in my life.

I may be totally out of line to make this speculation.  Regarding the choice of Heath's clips, perhaps it's because Ennis was still straight at that point in the film?

You know, I'm imagining it went more like this:


Scene: AMPAS persons, compiling "In memorian clips"

A: OK, then we've only got Heath Ledger and we're good.
B: Yes. Guess there's no way we can avoid using a clip from Brokeback...?
A: No, that's the one he was nominated for and the film got some awards here and there, too, so...guess not.
B: Well, you able to suggest a clip? Have you seen it?
A: No, of course I haven't. Uhm... have you?
B: Nope. Wouldn't be seen dead watching gay cowboys. What do you take me for?
A: Well...then there's no way around it. We'll have to sit down with the film to find a clip that isn't - you know - gross.

They pop the film in the player and start watching. 10 seconds into the film:

B: Hey stop it right there! That's him, isn't it?
A: I think so. Not easy to see the way he's hiding his face, it's at a distance and all, but...yes. I think it is.
B: Well, that's great! Good shot, wouldn't you say? Probably the best there is in the whole film, I bet. Let's use that one, then.
A: Thank God. Great. I was afraid we would have to watch guys kissing and what not... Anyway, we're good.
B: We sure are. What a relief. Problem solved, case closed, and no need to focus another second on Brokeback Mountain. 
Both: *whew*

For those who want to see it: the In Memoriam section of the Academy Awards. I crossposted this on the News thread in the Heath Forum.

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3YN-MmPTu8[/youtube]


Most of them were old. Not that I begrudge anyone their years, I really don't. As far as I'm concerned, everybody should live to a hundred. But damn, Heath was ("was" - still an awful word in the same sentence as Heath' name) so young. It's not fair. And it still hurts.

Watching that again (I saw it on TV last night) I still think Heath got short changed compared to some/most of the other actors...and I correct myself, Deborah Kerr did have two scenes from two movies, but the second one wasn't The King and I.

Oh well, I said it before, why do I expect anything but the minimum from the Academy? If I don't expect anything, I won't be disappointed.

Has this been posted already? I was reading it in USA Today in the hotel this morning....this version is from Entertainment News.

Heath Ledger was honoured by winners at the Film Independent Spirit Awards yesterday.

Todd Hayes, who directed Ledger in ‘I’m Not There’ paid tribute to the late actor as he picked up the inaugural Robert Altman Award for director and ensemble cast.

He said, “We all loved him so dearly. He really was unlike anybody I've ever known, giving up of himself less like an actor than a creative partner."

Hayes said Ledger was planning to move into directing himself before his accidental death last month.

He explained, “He had just started circulating a feature script that he was planning to direct - an adaptation of The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis.

"I have no doubt he would have made an astounding director. I treasure the time we shared on this film and the love and talent that he gave so freely."

Earlier at the ceremony in Santa Monica, California, Cate Blanchett also paid tribute to her friend and I’m Not There co-star when she picked up her Best Supporting Actress award, saying Ledger was "probably one of the most beautiful independent spirits of all".

The Academy passed Brokeback Mountain like a kidney stone.  I feel they did the same with Heath.

I think the Independent Spirit Awards should be the new Gay Superbowl.

I can't find the USA Today story online but I ripped it out of the paper (for my reliquary) so my friends, I will re-key it in again here, just for you.

Ledger is here, in spirit

Heath Ledger, who died last month...was on the on the minds of many -- especially those who worked on the Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There,
which received the Robert Altman Award.

Cate Blanchett won supporting actress for playing one of several versions of Dylan in the film. Blanchett dedicated her award to Ledger, who played another Dylan, and said he was "one of the most beautiful independent spirits of all."

Her award was presented by Aaron Eckhart, who will play Harvey Two-Face Dent in this summer's Batman film The Dark Knight, and shares scenes with Ledger's Joker. "It's a devastating loss," Eckhart said. "In Batman he is stunning."

On the arrivals carpet, I'm Not There director Todd Haynes said he believed Ledger would have made every effort to be present to accept the award with the rest of the cast. "He was really devoted to this film. He didn't like promoting -- found it a bore -- but he was really there for this film every step he could be. We're still reeling from the loss."

After being greeted on the carpet with a glass of Champagne, Ledger's friend Sienna Miller was brought to tears at the mere mention of his name. "I just can't without bursting into tears, sorry."

I know. I watched it Saturday night as part of the Heath DVD Film Festival. I liked it so much more this time than I did the first time I saw it (several years ago).

Next up for the DVD Fest is The Patriot. Details on the thread over in The Culture Tent.

I've always loved 10 Things I Hate About You (though of course I was about 14 when it first came out... ::)). Heath is wonderful in that movie. I still have yet to watch a Heath movie since just over a month ago, due to a combination of no time, no opportunity, and not being sure if I'm quite ready, but I'm pretty sure I'll still love it when I manage to watch it again.

I am just curious whether those naked-chest pics of Heath are real or photo shopped?  (I only ask b/c I've never seen them, and they are vaguely reminiscent of some Jake pics.)

Post by: cmr107 on February 26, 2008, 10:53:50 pm
I think they're real. I've seen the first one in that group I posted before, and the others are obviously from that same photo shoot. I don't know for sure, but I would say real.

They're from a photoshoot from 2000. Here are more of the same shoot. I had seen the bare chested ones before, but these were new to me:

I find it heartbreaking to see the difference between these two pictures. He looks so happy and healthy and fresh-faced (is that even word?) in the first one (from around Lords of Dogtown), and then you look at the second one and he just looks so tired and sad.

Hey Mel, sorry I missed your reply this morning. Groetjes to my Dutch neighbour  :-*



I'm not there starts today in Germany's cinemas. We were talking about it the day before ....
I complained that I had to wait for so long and we were joking around about it. How I wish I could turn back the time to that point.  :(
Kerstin and I will go to see it tomorrow. I have been waiting for it for so long. And now? Normally I'd be excited about it. But now I'm not. What a difference.

I saw I'm not there last Friday. Finally it has reached German theatres, I've been waiting for it since November.

I was surprised that I actually liked the movie for itself. I'm not big on Dylan and know only little about him. But this movie is one I'll definitively see a second time. I thought it was really good. The little boy (Woody) was the spitting image of Morgan Freeman, I'll go and check IMDB, whether they're related.

Every time the movie cut back from another Dylan to Robbie (Heath), I felt this pang again  :(.

I can't wait to see it, it's supposed to come out this week in Holland in two weeks...

Hey, I just found out Brokeback is shown in the little arthouse cinema around the corner from my house this afternoon. The showing is a tribute to Heath! I think I am going, even if it's only to see the movie (maybe for the last time) on the big screen. I will bring tissues though...

So glad you liked`"I'm not there", Chrissi. I loved it - but as I watched it on the evening of January 21, the feelings kind of got lost in the darkness of the next day.


And oh - Brokeback at the cinema? I'd be there if I could!! I remember the last time I saw it in the cinema, it was down to one showing a day on the smallest screen in Oslo,in its very last week, in June of 2006. I felt so good getting to see it once more in the dark, on the big screen, no interruptions, a few other appreciative movie-goers there with me,  it was a treat. Though I don't know what I'd have felt if doing that now....  :-\

I watched Brokeback yesterday (DVD) in a simulcast after we finished watching The Patriot for the Heath Film Festival. It was the first time I've watched BBM all the way through in a long time and it felt sort of like the first time all over again. It really made me wish I could see it in a theater again.

God, I miss Heath....  :(

Tell you what, I am even a little nervous going to see it. I am going alone and just hope to God I don't break down entirely. I haven't watched the movie ever since Heath died.

{{{Heathens}}}

It was a very cathartic experience. I hadn't seen the entire movie in 1.5 years, and I really appreciated the middle part for what it shows: the slow disintegration of Jack and Ennis's lives. It's so different to watch the movie in the cinema than on your laptop or on TV, you are so much more drawn in.

I had tears welling up in my eyes a few times, a.o. at the "Anything Interesting up there in heaven?". But the tears really streamed at the moment at the very end, when Ennis closes the closet door and he's out of the frame, and all you see is those fields through the window.

There were about 10 people and they stayed all the way until the very end of the titles at the end. They were all very silent and I heard them sniffling all the way through the end.

Walked home listening to Nick Drake's Black Eyed Dog on my iPod and then silently singing along to Neil Young's Old Man.

You know, I was struck by something and that was Aguirre talking to Jack and Jack saying "I guess there's nothing I can do about it up here." and Aguirre answering while looking at Ennis up the mountain. "Not unless you can cure pneumonia." and I thought about the reports that Heath might have had walking pneumonia when he died.  :'(

It was the same at my viewing of I'm not there on Friday (the theatre was about 3/4 full though). It was only the second time I experienced everybody staying put through the credits, with the other time being one of my BBM viewings two years ago.

I know, it is still hard to accept.  In fact, I think I'm ignoring it more than accepting it.  Can't go around being that sad all the time.

That's a concept I'm definitively familiar with :(. Just trying not to think about it. Works most of the time, but therefore it hits me again and again several times a day like OMG, he's really gone  :'(

Overall, I think it's good concept to deal with. Worked well for me when my father died some years ago. I always tried to picture him being on vacation. I had no problem to not have contact with him for a few weeks and tried not to think about the fact that it's not for a few weeks, but forever.
Ignoring as much as one can, the accepting comes from itself over time.

It seems strange to have be going through this process with someone I never met.  How can you miss someone you never spoke with or laid eyes on??  With your father it makes sense (my sympathies, BTW), but with Heath?  Well, it just is, I guess.



Doesn't make fully sense to me either. Sometimes I'm also a bit surprised by my own reaction. But then, two years have gone by and I still haven't fully figured why Brokeback Mountain has such an effect on me. *shrugs* Some things just are, like you said.
And of course it's very different than it was with my father, but the coping mechanism is the same, only on a different level.

That was so sad.Even back then he looked supremely uncomfortable with all the attention,and that was just a the smallest taster of what was about to come.
What also comes across I think is he sometimes does not get the American humour.I too have stuggled with this,having moved from the U.K. Equally sometimes Americans do not get my humour.We may all speak the same language but there are still cultural differences.
Interesting to note that even back then he was commenting on being tired,and also very fidgety,just as in his last interview.
So many people put the constant fidgeting (in his  last interview)down to drugs,it makes me think he was just very very uncomfortable with the whole fame/interview scenario.
And also maybe uncomfortable in his own skin.
All the same a sad thing to watch,as I realised that over the precious few years he then had left he never became at ease with fame.
Thanks for posting all the same ,it still featured that glorious smile of his.
I too just want to hug him and say stuff the promoting,just go out and act.Your work will speak for itself!!!

It does seem that Heath has difficulty with Stewart's humor in this interview. 

It reminds me of Winston Churchill's observation that America and Great Britain are two counties "divided by a common language."  Apparently, America and Australia are divided by a common language as well...

It was nice to see that interview though.  It was new to me.

Thanks for the Jon Stewart interview-new to me and I loved it. I don't perceive his jumpiness as discomfort. I think he simply is always in motion-mind and body. His reaction to Jon and the questions cracked me up-you could tell for him it was just one more in a loooonnnngggg series of interviews and he was not in the least impressed by Stewart. Same questions asked and answered over and over again. And I could not disagree more that he is uncomfortable in his own skin-I think he is supremely comfortable with himself. He knows who he is and what is important to him.

I'm falling asleep as I type this, but I wanted to share what happened today at work. One of my jobs is working in the scene shop for our theatre on campus, and a co-worker (one of my best friends) and I are pretty silly most of the time. I don't remember what we were doing today, but our boss (the Technical Director) said something about us acting like Heathens.

And this happened on Tuesday...

Quote from: cmr107 on March 05, 2008, 02:18:08 am
I forgot to mention, today one of my professors was giving an example for something, and actually said something about running around like Heathens. It was a little difficult to concentrate for a while after that...

Why does this keep happening lately?!  :o

Thanks for that video, Mel.  Precious.  I actually think that John Stewart did see Heath's overwhelm and was concerned about his exhaustion at being overworked. 

Last night I was at a lecture, and all evening the speaker wrote things on a large pad of paper for the audience to see.  All evening she was doing great with her spelling.  Right near the end, as she out loud said the word "healthy," she wrote down the word "heathly."  It was the only typo I noticed all evening.  Not sure what smiley to put on my roller coaster of emotions.

Still can't see it and I'm at a different computer. Do you think being in Canada might have something to do with it?  It doesn't say "Video no longer available", just "Video not Available".

I'm in Germany and Mel is in NL, and we both were able to see it. So I think it doesn't have anything to do with you being in Canada.
Maybe the safety installments (on both computers) don't let you see it?

Well that's strange.  I can't access any videos on that site, do you have to login maybe?  But then it would say that wouldn't it.  I've never encountered this on any other site.  Not even Xtube  :laugh:

I could see the video just fine too.

My God, how young he was. And so youthfully handsome...

It was heartwrenching to hear Jon Stewart admonish him to "enjoy it (life) now".  :-\

Heath looked tired and twitchy but no more or less than he always did when being interviewed on his own in the middle of some movie media hoopla.

(I seem to recall when he was being interviewed together with Michelle, she had a calming effect on him.  :-\ )

I guess I'm used to seeing Heath's nervous ways when being interviewed and Jon Stewart joking around with people - I didn't particularly react to either one of them as being off kilter here.


Thanks for posting the link!!

Nope. Betty (and whoever made the collage) are right: the pics are from TIFF 2006 (presenting Candy), same year I posted the complete photoshoot of some pages ago.
(I think Heath wasn't in Toronto in 2007.)

In 2005, the whole Brokeback crew was at TIFF and presented BBM there (Heath with very short hair and Michelle heavily pregnant):

I'm going to call this image a super gigantic SCORE Marie, because a) I've never seen anything like it, and b) the big poster on the wall that says "MASSES" tells me this is a Masses Music related location, maybe their main office, maybe the home of one of the main Masses people.

Masses is the company/organization through which Heath directed the four videos I posted a while back.  So those people in the picture with him may be the other directors and editors he worked with.  http://www.wearethemasses.com/thework.html  Click on the two Ben Harper and two Nfa lines to see Heath's videos.

Ok, so I'm pretty sure that in the entire time since I saw BBM (over 2 years ago), I never once heard the word "Heathen" spoken out loud, I only saw it in posts around here and IMDB. Obviously I know that it was a word long before April 4, 1979, but it's not a word you hear very often. Yesterday in a play rehearsal, the director was telling one of the actors about how she's supposed to be frustrated about her children acting like heathens. That's the third time in five days that someone around me has used that word. (I already posted about the other two times in this thread.) It was weird the first time, really  weird the second time, and now this is just ridiculous. Why does this keep happening?

The shy way in which he said "No!" when he was asked if he had ever met Dylan, as in "Moi? Mere mortal moi? No!" was so cute.

Oh, I like that second one! (Don't like the smoking, but.... it's real nice!!) Hadn't seen that before.


I just got hold of my copy of the UK film magazine "Empire" - the April Issue. It's got 8 pages of "Heath Ledger - a life in pictures", and it's a nice mix of film stills and various behind-the scenes pics, many of them with co-actors or directors. The pics include at least 3 I hadn't seen before, all of them behind-the-scenes stuff where Heath is smiling; looking happy about his life and his craft. One is from St. Marcus' square in Venice, neck in noose, grinning at the camera with Sienna Miller. And one is on set for "I'm not there" with Todd Haynes, the two of them laughing mightily. Loved that one! Plus one with the kids of "Lords of Dogtown", Heath once more looking both smiling and relaxed in his Skip look.

All in all a very nice spread of images from nearly all Heath's films. So this is a heads-up for anyone else who might be interested in buying the mag.

It's great to hear about the reviews on Heath's performance.  I haven't had the chance to watch it yet, but my gripe about this film was the promotion strategy by the company was totally focused on Cate Blanchett from the beginning, making all the other Dylans looked like they are supporting stars for Cate.

My TV magazine called his performance in I'm Not There "painfully convincing" (painfully because of his passing)  :(.


I think Betty is right, the attention mostly is on Cate Blanchett. But she is somewhat the "main character", meaning the Dylan with the most screen time. Seconed comes Heath (thankfully).
I had a problem with Cate Blanchett because most of the time she looks like my mother (urgh) - quite distracting. But that's nobody's fault, just mine  :laugh:

Saw this on lj.... Rally, really love this.... so how I see Heath....


Michelle Williams is breaking her silence about the untimely death of her beloved Heath Ledger.

The actress is speaking out in the new issue of Interview magazine. This is the first time she's talked publicly about Ledger since releasing a statement on February 1st.

Says Williams, "I think the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was. You can pick it up on it in his performances, but it’s easy to overlook because he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine,” she adds. “But there was always that underlying sensitivity. That’s who he was. He had a talent for everything that he put his mind to. He didn’t know limits."

Michelle also touches on Ledger’s history of sleeping issues.

“For as long as I’d known him, he had bouts with insomnia,” she says. “He had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning turning — always turning.”

Ledger's ex-girlfriend, fellow Australian Naomi Watts, also chats to the mag about the deceased star.

Says Watts, "I think he wanted to be someone who was doing the observing — not the one being observed. He hated not being able to go about his life in an ordinary way. But I think that, deep down, he enjoyed that he was being recognized for his talent. I think he was starting to own that and that's the deepest tragedy, in terms of his work. He was just beginning to own it and embrace it."

Adding some color, she says, "He was a huge, obsessive, chess freak – and very, very good at it."

Saw this on lj.... Rally, really love this.... so how I see Heath....


Michelle Williams is breaking her silence about the untimely death of her beloved Heath Ledger.

The actress is speaking out in the new issue of Interview magazine. This is the first time she's talked publicly about Ledger since releasing a statement on February 1st.

Says Williams, "I think the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was. You can pick it up on it in his performances, but it’s easy to overlook because he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine,” she adds. “But there was always that underlying sensitivity. That’s who he was. He had a talent for everything that he put his mind to. He didn’t know limits."

Michelle also touches on Ledger’s history of sleeping issues.

“For as long as I’d known him, he had bouts with insomnia,” she says. “He had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning turning — always turning.”

Nope. I don't think so, thank you very much. :(

There's even a second one, by Brian J. Robb, titled Hollywood's Dark Star.

From an Australian newspaper, an article about Heath as the Joker, with a trailer. I have lost track of the Dark Knight trailers, so I don't know if we've seen this one in the US. It is new in Australia, according to the article.

The article says that the marketing for the Dark Knight is going along as originally planned.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, to be honest.

I watched The Patriot a few weeks ago for the DVD film fest and was reading a few comments on IMDb. Someone asked how much screen time Heath had and since I was watching the movie, I paid attention to that and posted (2 h and 11 min for anyone who cares). Well, someone came back and posted a snotty remark that I had just spoiled it for her/him! I was like, huh? The movie has been out for 8 years, it's a story of the American Revolution for pete's sake...this is new news that Heath's character dies?

Oh well, it made me glad to be here at CT with my friendly and understanding fellow Heathens.

The photos of Heath and Matilda where she looks so happy are heartbreaking to me now.

The truth is that Michelle will eventually enter a long term relationship or marry, and the new man in her life is probably the one Matilda will think of as her daddy.  She is too young to really remember Heath.   :(



 :'(

I was wondering if there are ways (like sessions with therapists, certain types of psychological treatments) where you can make sure that the child remembers more from before her 4th birth year? I was talking to my mom about Heath and that I was so sad that his daughter would never know him, and she said that she has very vivid memories of being a toddler. So that gave me hope...

And that's a good thing. Not that she's too young to remember Heath of course. But I do hope Michelle finds happiness and a longlasting relationship somewhere down the road. And it would only be natural for Matilda to adopt another man as daddy figure. Sad as it is now, because her own daddy should be with her.   :(

When you get older your short term memory becomes dire.As has mine but for the first time ever I can now recall vividly memories from about 1 year old.It is so odd.I really struggle some times remembering what I did yesterday,but I can remember my dad pushing me on a large dog on wheels.Also my mum crying because she had forgotten my dads birthday which was when I was about 18 months old.
This has been happening more and more recently.Little snippets of very early childhood just jumping into my mind.So theres hope for little Matilda.

This is great.  HRC is huge - one of the biggest national GLBT rights organizations.  When you see those little square blue bumper stickers with the yellow equal sign... that's HRC.  They're a really impressive group because they've become so powerful... both in terms of private sector influence as well as political influence.  One of the things they're most famous for (on a general awareness level) is they put out a buyer's guide (for all sorts of products in different categories) every year and rate companies based on GLBT friendliness and policies.  I think they usually put it out around the holidays to have the most impact.  I seem to recall that we had a thread about this past year's HRC buyer's guide in the Holiday forum.

Good for Anne! :)

Matilda will sure remember her dad if there is someone who would always remind her.  it is a perfect theraphy for Matilda.

Yes! And I think that Michelle will do all in her power to make her remember her daddy, putting up lots of pictures of him and talking about him a lot.

What a beautiful photo!  His lovely eyes just draw you in like a magnet.  And such a handsome face!  Thanks, Penthesilea.  I love your photos, especially these large and very hypnotic close-ups.  I could gaze at them for hours & hours.  Well, actually, I already do!

I posted this on the Tributes board but I thought it might be good here, too:-


Here's a link to the entire article on Heath in Interview magazine, complete with gorgeous photos.  I think somebody's scanned the magazine, but if you keep clicking on each individual page, it zooms in enough that you can read it and see the photos clearly.

One mix of photos seems to have been taken by Naomi Watts' brother around the time of the movie 'Ned Kelly'.  Heath himself has drawn and written on most of them.  Priceless!  The one of Heath with Michelle, him pretending to be pregnant with her, is just so sweet.

The great love and affection Heath's friends obviously felt for him, and the high esteem in which he was held, shines through in this moving article.  Very beautiful.  I loved it!  It confirms so much of what I already thought about Heath, but didn't know for certain.

Jake who?  He's dead to me now.

I really makes me wonder about how much of a PR faux pas Jake's silence really is for him.  This really isn't good for public perception of Jake, and obviously especially amongst his Brokie fans.  I mean, I'm sure he has his reasons and he may be suffering terribly in a personal way over this... but the reactions his silence is causing makes me worry about Jake.  As a Brokie, the rift that this is causing is really sort of heartbreaking (on top of the more serious tragedy of Heath's passing).
:(

I still keep hoping that Jake will come through with some kind of lovely gesture.  Maybe he's just taking his time on this for some reason.

I just keep wondering why Jake isn't more aware of this... or more pro-active about this.  I mean in terms of awareness of his career and public image, I'd think Jake would be considering all of this carefully (above and beyond the real and personal aspects of this loss).  I mean, Heath was a massive part of advancing Jake's career... and even on a professional level, it only seems reasonable to expect some kind of acknowledgment (even just based on concepts of etiquette).

I don't find it weird at all.  We look at Jake through the lens of Brokeback, and I doubt very much that Jake, or Jake's fans, would ever claim that Heath was a large part of Jake's success in his career.  He had a successful career before Brokeback.  I just don't understand why because we tie Jake and Heath together through our appreciation of the film, that it seems so "odd" that Jake does not seem to have a Heath-centered life and has not made a public statement to satisfy us.  He is clearly keeping his opinion to himself, and that is undoubtedly because he wishes not to discuss it.  I know a lot of people who when they have suffered the death of a family member or close friend, do not discuss it with anyone because it is too painful.  Why isn't Jake allowed that same courtesy ?

I just see this differently.  Jake received his Oscar nomination because of BBM, he won his BAFTA award because of BBM, etc.  Brokeback, I think is undeniably his most important film to date (and who knows... it may end up being his most significant film ever).  Yes, Jake had a film career prior to BBM, but nothing compared to the opportunity that BBM provided in terms of making a great film... it's the kind of serious film with the kind of critical clout that will provide Jake many, many more opportunities in the future for serious roles (to a degree that older films of his wouldn't have provided).  BBM was Jake's breakout role in terms of serious cinema.  And, maybe more significantly, BBM will stand as Heath's most significant film since his oeuvre is now closed (I'm sure Dark Knight will be good, but it seems unlikely that a Batman movie would or will rise to the same level as something like BBM).  So, Jake's relationship to Heath's most important film is another element to consider in all of this.

And, the success of Jake's own performance in Brokeback was entirely dependent on playing off of the strength of Heath's performance (and vice versa).  Thinking of this issue in terms of professional courtesy (leaving aside any speculation about real friendship) it seems only fitting, from my perspective, that Jake would be the first one or among the first of many colleagues to be lining up to mark Heath's passing.

We've now seen a lot of Heath's other colleagues feel compelled to do this... to want to offer a eulogy or a statement.  So, Jake's continued silence just comes across as odd (to me, and I think to many others). 

And to me, it doesn't make sense to risk alienating Brokeback fans for Jake.  Whether or not we agree with what's going on... there is a rift and turmoil in the Brokeback fan base over this.  It's just simply happened and I, for one think it's tremendously sad and perplexing.

That is such a good word to use,  Etiquette,  no matter how he is grieving (and we will never know).Sometimes you need to be seen publically to be doing the right, or done thing.When a fellow actor./co star dies, it is the done thing usually to issue a statement.
There are plenty of examples in life when we all have to do things we may not want,purely because it is expected of us,or perceived as the right thing to do.

I keep comming back to what would Heath have done,and I could be wrong,but I picture him awkward and somewhat,embarrassed,fidgeting,shy,but I do see him saying something.No matter how difficult he found it.He was the more ill at ease with interviews of the 2 of them.Yet I still think he would have made some statement,and I feel it would have been heart felt as well.
But maybe I am just eulogising.Heath just always struck me as a sincere person.Uncomfortable to watch sometimes because of his innate shyness and lack of interview"tools"no glib remarks or off the cuff witticisms etc.But all the more endearing for that.
Curiouser and curiouser as Alice said.

I don't think we expect Jake's life to be Heath-centered but Heath really has been a big part of his career.  Whether he likes it or not the two have been linked together because of BbM.  The same way Ryan Gosling is associated with Rachel McAdams because of THE NOTEBOOK.  Plus isn't Jake Matilda's godfather or something?  Daniel Day Lewis didn't even know Heath, had probably never met him, yet he made a wonderful gesture and he's not exactly a media whore so it wasn't for the publicity.  No, ATZ75 said it perfectly, he should have said something by now if only for etiquette's sake.  That's why relatives of the deceased stand around shaking hands at a funeral, it's not because they want to, it's simple etiquette, there are some things that just have to be done.

I don't think Heath was a massive part of advancing Jake's career,or at least,he was the same for Heath's; as the matter of fact,the real and greater part in both career's advancing was Ang Lee...He was,that's right,something else than just a coworker in a successful movie,since he was his daughter's godfather.It's just enough,for me,to expect also "something else" from Jake in a so delicate and sad moment as the passing of" someone else "that just a man who you've worked with...We can't forget,however,that this situation makes Jake also "special" before other people's sight,specially from paparazzi and other vultures...We've already talked about this before,and I accept that his position has been and is still, a little different from the one by Daniel Day-Lewis,f.e.;but to a certain point,that I really believe Jake has ultrapassed several weeks ago.It seems as if his personal easiness,that they let him be alone and far from ugly gossips matters more than his respect for his...friend? or whatever and for his family grief.JMO.

Yes,oilgun,I agree with you;perhaps it's too" hard" to say He's dead for you,but I feel deceived about him,and I'm feeling so several weeks ago already...For me the real problem,is not to SAY SOMETHING,but TO DO SOMETHING.Saying some nice words can be "simple etiquette",as you say very well; but doing is sometimes the hardest thing,and for this it results more painful in Jake's case.I mean,nobody has seen him neither in Perth,nor in any of the burials and tributes Heath's friends and coworkers who knew him very little have done...For me this is not logical,nor natural,nor...human? And not because Brokies and fans in general can be happy,but for respect ,affection and humanity.

I think it is both understandable and human for someone NOT to want to share their personal feelings and grief with the world.  I know I wouldn't, maybe that is why I can understand it.  What about the desire to keep one's feelings private?  Isn't an actor entitled to what everyone else entitled to, without judging him as unfeeling?

No, he's really free to keep his feelings private;what's more,he has no obligation in showing them in public.No ,because he's a famous person he doesn't need to make public even his littlest and deepest feelings,sorrows and happiness...But,if you've read my post,you will see how I'm not speaking about SPEAKING,but about DOING.And doing some gesture of approachment to Heath's family that nobody has seen or heard he's done up to this moment.For me this is the difference,and rather important...

Agreed about the daggers in Michelle's eyes - and she moves around to be between the photographer and Matilda, and puts her hand on her shoulder.  That photographer could be the reason they climb the stairs and go inside.

Thank you so much for posting the Interview magazine pages.  A lot to read there.  I would like to see Heath's Grace Woodruffe video - does anyone know where to find it?

The only really option we have is asking Lisa (bbmiswear) to ask Jake what is going on. She is going to meet Jake this month together with a friend!

This is great.  HRC is huge - one of the biggest national GLBT rights organizations.  When you see those little square blue bumper stickers with the yellow equal sign... that's HRC.  They're a really impressive group because they've become so powerful... both in terms of private sector influence as well as political influence.  One of the things they're most famous for (on a general awareness level) is they put out a buyer's guide (for all sorts of products in different categories) every year and rate companies based on GLBT friendliness and policies.  I think they usually put it out around the holidays to have the most impact.  I seem to recall that we had a thread about this past year's HRC buyer's guide in the Holiday forum.

Thank you for this information, Amanda!  :) It helped explain the background for the award Anne received to this clueless foreigner.  :) I loved her brief but lovely tribute to Heath and Ennis both. So perfect!  :)


I have been away from the net and so avoided the whole "Jake's missing eulogy" discussion - but I find after pondering a bit that I'll voice my opinion too.

My view comes very close to Amanda's, in fact. In my view, offering some public words of remembrance would have been the right, proper and respectful thing to do for Jake. I don't mistake Jake and Heath for Jack and Ennis. I am aware they are - or were  :-\ - living breathing humans, distinct from any roles they play (and it irks me that those who defend Jake's behaviour in this case often are seen indicating that those who critizise him are unable to make the real life/fiction distinction).

It doesn't matter whether they were still friends or had grown distant, it doesn't matter whether they'd had a huge falling-out, even. At the untimely death of the co-star in his most important and well-known film to date, Jake Gylllenhaal should IMO have offered some few appropriate words in public tribute. No matter the status of their current close relationship or lack thereof, there must be some good memories and words of praise Jake could find to offer - and he's an actor so whether in deep grief or not, he could surely manage to utter them with a sufficiently calm and solemn demeanour.

He's had ample opportunity to do so. I'm sure the magazine that printed the other friends and colleagues' memories about Heath did ask Jake for his - I bet he's had to specifically decline to comment on this any number of times by now. It is his right to do so and to keep silent, of course. He needs not say or do a thing that he doesn't want to. But personally I think that it would have been entirely proper and respectful of him to act otherwise in this instant.

My worry is that Jake is keeping so silent not because of his feelings for Heath, such as they may have been these days, but rather because he for whatever reason wishes to distance himself from Brokeback Mountain. His commenting on Heath's death or offering an euogy would necessarily lead to a lot of Brokeback images and references popping up again. I wonder if that's what he's trying to avoid. I hope I'm mistaken in this, because it can hardly make a steadfast Brokie happy to worry this might possibly be the case.  :-\

Hi Mikaela!

Here's a link to the main HRC website.  It's actually a really interesting thing to look at to see just how many things this group works on and is involved with at any one time.  Also, there's still an advertisement about the Gala and Anne's participation on their main/ front homepage.
http://www.hrc.org/ (http://www.hrc.org/)


I agree that Jake's silence leads to unpleasant speculation (about whether he wants to distance himself from BBM, or any number of other possible scenarios like that).  To me the saddest thing is that it's causing all of this "turmoil" in the Brokie world, as witnessed by this debate that keeps coming up in various threads.  We're just all going to go around and around in circles discussing this and debating this amongst ourselves until we have at least some idea of what's really up with Jake.  Or until he finally has to appear in some kind of interview (for an upcoming movie, etc.).   I mean, even Anne has now paid tribute to Heath... and her interaction with him in regards to Brokeback was much more minimal than Jake's clearly.

It's interesting how much frustration this is really causing amongst lots of Brokie fans. :-\ 

It's also interesting to realize how much the media was expecting him to make some kind of gesture or statement earlier on in this situation.  For instance, all those false reports about him arriving in Australia for the memorial service seems to indicate that people were so expecting him to be involved in activities like that that they almost imagined seeing him in that context.   Am I correct in remembering that he did go to the memorial in L.A... but that there were no photos of him?   And, I wonder exactly what that early report by People magazine... about Jake taking Heath's death harder than most... really meant. It's the only semi-concrete reporting on what might have been his actual reaction that I can recall.  And, I really wonder how to take that now.  Maybe it's completely accurate and his silence really is an indication of deep personal trauma over this... or maybe that report was just mostly speculation.  It's just so hard to know what to make of all of this.

Anyway, I'm still hopeful that he may come through with some kind of gesture.  Maybe he just needs to take his time on this one.  I mean, if Anne's waited this long... maybe it's not too late yet for Jake after all.

In this, I have to heartily agree with you, Amanda - we do not know why Jake chose not to make a statement, only that he did not.  At least, not publically.  And I believe it does have a negative effect upon the fandom for we who do not know, to attempt to speculate.  In my own commentaries I have tried to plead with those who have made negative conclusions about Jake (and there have been quite a few) not to assume or to draw a conclusion from what his silence means because they could be completely wrong about it.  And as someone who has lost several family members, I can assure you that it is not only a common but expected reaction for some people never to speak of that person to others about their feelings, simply because they do not wish to discuss it.   My sister died 18 years ago and I have not said a word to my family about my feelings about her death.  Nor did I attend her funeral.  Yet it would be wrong for anyone to assume, or conclude, that I did not love her and did not mourn her.  What I did was not talk about it.

Sharing grief is not something everyone finds themselves capable of, and I would take the commentary in the early press as true: that he was hit hard by the news and cannot speak to anyone, and wishes not to.  Beyond that, I think that we fans of both Jake and Heath best serve the fandom with the benefit of the doubt.

This is the conclusion that presents itself to me, too.  Maybe he doesn't realize this or is willing to pay the price of people thinking this in order to grieve in private.  He might be angry that he's expected to comment and doesn't want to be invaded.  Whatever, he's kind of missed the boat now, and maybe that's all right with him.  But IMO, whatever he says in future, unless it's to confess that his emotions kept him from speaking, will seem like something of an afterthought.

I personally consider that on par with the reports he'd arrived in Australia etc - ie. I believe it to be completely bogus, made up by some reporter or journalist who wanted to be first with the news and "helped" the news along a bit by writing to confirm what everyone "knew" to be true anyway. But the real truth IMO is that there is no credible report at all about Jake's reasoning - and he himself has deliberately kept out of reach and silent. That's all we know.
That people are wondering about the reason for this silence is only to be expected, IMO. Wondering about it is not intended to trespass into private territory, even; -  the matter of whether or not to honour and pay respectful public tribute to a talented and very close colleague, gone too soon, is connected with Jake's professional life and public image and -appearance as much as anything, IMO.

And to me, it doesn't make sense to risk alienating Brokeback fans for Jake.  Whether or not we agree with what's going on... there is a rift and turmoil in the Brokeback fan base over this.  It's just simply happened and I, for one think it's tremendously sad and perplexing.


I respectfully disagree on this, Amanda. I don't think there is a rift about it among Brokies. Different opinions - yes. But we do have different opinions on many things and that's completely fine. And if there were a rift, it would surely not be Jake's doing.
Heath's passing is an extremely sad situation with emotions running high and people feeling vulnerable. And in this, we just have to accept that people react differently to Jack's lack of reaction. Some may be disappointed by it, others find it completely understandable, others are simply curious about it. And all those emotional reactions towards Jake are justified and it's right to voice them as long as it is done in an appropriate manner.

I kind myself throughout the day just shaking my head in disbelief. Anyone looking at me would wonder. But I'm getting used to the sadness and the tears. I know I won't always feel this way and maybe that is even sadder.

If Jake had wanted to distance himself from BBM or associations with gayness, would he have participated in that Saturday Night Live opening monologue where he sang falsetto in a huge wig and long shimmering dress while two men in cowboy hats swooned in the front row?  Or put Heath's photo up over his bed on the set of his most recent movie, as has been reported?

It seems like those two actions would have more consequences than a respectful few sentences about Heath's passing.

Heya Elle!

I don't mean to imply that I actually believe Jake wants to distance himself from BBM.  It was just one example of a somewhat negative interpretation or speculation that his silence could be construed to mean.  And, it's the kind of worry that seems to have been swirling around a bit lately.  There is a lot of tension in Brokie fandom over this, and I was just trying to articulate some of the anxieties that seem to have been generated lately.

But no, I don't personally believe Jake would want to distance himself from BBM (and I don't really think he can).  I'm still in the camp of folks who believe that Jake and Heath truly were significant best friends (and that the experience of making BBM was probably a pretty intense and unique bonding experience... the kind of filmmaking that would have particular personal impact compared to other types of roles). You're right about that report of Jake putting Heath's picture up on his movie set.  Also the fact that BBM and the promotions/ awards for BBM really weren't that long ago make all those charming pictures of Jake and Heath having fun together at BBM events still seem quite relevant.  And, I still think that Jake's role as godfather just simply must be a very important thing to consider here.  Godparents seem to have had somewhat significant roles in both Jake and Heath's upbringing.  So, I do think that it's something both Jake and Heath (and Michelle) would take very seriously...  I mean, it just simply isnt' something to take lightly (choosing someone to have a lifetime role in a child's life is important).  Essentially, Heath and Michelle made Jake an honorary family member.

So, I definitely believe that there was a deep connection between Heath and obviously BBM for Jake.  I still can't help being personally perplexed by Jake's silence in light of this.  To me, based on how I see things... Jake's closeness to Heath is what makes it confusing to me.  I'm not trying to be down on Jake (not at all... obviously here his reactions mean a great deal to me).  It's just that I personally keep waiting for Jake on this.  As I've said almost from the beginning, somehow as a Brokie I feel like I won't have a sense of "closure" about this tragedy until we hear from Jake.  That may be totally illogical and unfair even (to expect of Jake), but that's still how I feel.  And, so with this continuing waiting-phase I just keep feeling unsettled.

Not a word from the other Gyllenhaal either...

http://www.cinematical.com/2008/03/24/maggie-gyllenhaal-on-the-dark-knight/ (http://www.cinematical.com/2008/03/24/maggie-gyllenhaal-on-the-dark-knight/)

Maggie Gyllenhaal On 'The Dark Knight'

Maggie Gyllenhaal made an unannounced appearance at ShoWest for The Dark Knight panel, and Superhero Hype managed to land an exclusive interview with her. I think this is the first time we've really heard from her regarding bat-stuff.

As expected from such a talented actress, she won't be simply mimicking her predecessor, Katie Holmes. "I think she's a wonderful actress and I really admired the work that she did in the first Batman, but I don't think it would have worked if I tried to imitate her. I think the only way to do it is to do it like myself." And because Christopher Nolan is a classy director, there won't be any winks or nods to the fact that Rachel Dawes is a new face. "They just (expect you to) suspend your disbelief. I'm Rachel Dawes now. I mean, how many Batmen have there been? Lots of them!" (Good point, girl!)
Ms. Gyllenhaal was asked if her character would have more physical scenes in the new film, and whether or not she was nervous about those. Her career hasn't had much mayhem, after all. (The spanking scenes in Secretary probably don't count.) "Somewhat," she responded. "They took really good care of me. I thought I might get bruised up but in fact, I didn't. They really knew what they were doing. I was scared to do some of the action stuff I had to do, and I did it once, and I was like, 'Oh, this is a blast!'" I hope Rachel gets to be a bit more of a badass in this movie, and not just a damsel in distress. She used her taser pretty effectively last time -- and it looks like she gets to deliver one heck of a solid punch on the Joker in the trailer. Hopefully it's one of several. I don't want her to be a gun-toting heroine, but Gyllenhaal has such an inherent strength about her. It would be a shame if that didn't appear onscreen.

Getting back to Jake's lack of a public statement, well, how difficult is it to release a statement through one's agent or press secretary?  Isn't that part of the reason actors have agents and press secretaries? 

You know, I wasn't expecting Jake to call a press conference or sit down for a televised interview or release a 16-paragraph eulogy.  A simple statement released to the public on the order of "I am deeply saddened by the loss of Heath, and my heart aches for his family and friends.  He will be missed" would have been sufficient for me and probably for lots of other people, too.

Yes, Jake is entitled to his privacy, and I'm certainly not expecting him to bear his soul to the public at large.  But he should have issued some sort of statement if for no other reason than because his fans were expecting one.  They wanted to hear from him.  For a good while there, Jake had many of his fans worried about how he was faring after Heath's death.  He owed those fans something for their concern.

I interpret his inaction as inconsideration and disrespect -- not toward Heath or his family but towards Jake's own fans.  When you're a celebrity, dealing with your fans is part of the package.  It's one of the prices you pay for your fame.  If you want to live in total obscurity, you don't become an actor.

I can understand why people are disappointed in him.

Well said Fran.  A simple statement like the one you wrote, written and issued by a rep, would have been enough.    I think his silence is a sign of disrespect not only to his fans but also to Heath, Michelle and his god-daughter Matilda.  (Or was this god-parent business just a rumour?)  First he undoes all the good that BbM did breaking down gay stereotypes when he made that embarrassing appearance on SNL, and now this.
Anyway, like I said before, he's dead to me now so I'm not sure why I'm still writing about him, lol!

It's not a rumor, Jake is most definitely Matilda's godfather.  There are plenty of interviews about this (including different  interviews where Jake, Heath and Michelle discuss this fact in various ways and contexts).

Thanks, Gil.

I don't think I can agree with you about the lack of respect towards Michelle and Matilda because it just may be that Jake did do something privately as far as paying his condolences to them.  I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as far as they're concerned since this is probably something we will never know anyway.

When asked after the BAFTA ceremony if Ang Lee was the Godfather of Matilda, because Ang called himslef "matchmaker", Heath and Michelle said that it's Jake actually. Later during a press conference Jake confirmed he was the Godfather. Ever since press mentioned the fact every now and then.
It seemed that Jake and Heath were very close during BBM promotion, but we really can not know for sure how close they remained (you don't have to be close to your kid's Godparents btw). The one lived in L.A. the other in N.Y. I believe they saw each other every now and then, but that's about it. Each had their own life.
I'm sure Jake, when he heard about Heath's death was very sad, but i doubt he was as devastated as some claimed. He even went to a Rufus Wainwright concert days after Heath's death, or shopping in Soho with Reese over a month ago etc. Life has to go on and his main priority at the moment seems to be his girlfriend. I also didn't expect him to react like Jack Twist would have reacted if Ennis Del Mar had died before him. I can distinguish reality from fiction and while i understand that life goes on and he has other priorities in his real life, a statement/tribute would have been a sign of respect towards Heath, I personally appreciated all the tributes from Heath's family members, friends and colleagues. Jake for whatever reason, may it be personal or professional, decided not to do it and i don't think we will get anything from him. If we want it or not, we must accept it and move on.

I concur with Mikaela and Elle that it's time to let the topic of Jake's not making a statement fade away, at least on this thread.  We talk about Heath here, and though Jake will always be relevant to Heath, there's not much more to be said on this right now.

Thanks for listening, Heathens!  :-*

It's strange, but voicing my opinion on this topic yesterday, after having kept it to myself for more than a month, helped me find some sort of closure concerning my disappointment over Jake's silence. Reading posts both in agreement and disagreement, both here and elsewhere, I find that though my personal opinion hasn't changed at all, I can now somehow manage to lay my hurt over this to rest. I'm glad that is so.

Whatever has happened and whatever is currently going on, what I most strongly recall now is that Jake and Heath together did give us this, a gift for the ages:

For the rest, at the moment I have finally reached a place where I can honestly borrow Jack Twist's words and say: Let be, let be....

I am glad for you, for this, Mikaela...

Speaking of Heath and shirts .....

Yesterday I found some pics I hadn't seen before, of a very young Heath with an God-awful shirt  ;D. They're from a movie premiere in 1997. In general, I prefer Heath in more recent pics (ouch  :(), but this shirt is too good to not show it  ;D

Absolutely.  I was surprised to discover no striped shirts in my wardrobe - there used to be some.  This shirt is red and white horizontal striped with slender tan stripes next to each red stripe.  It is more the style than the colors that put me in mind of Heath.  It is a hoody pullover with a low center pocket that opens on the sides, 3/4 sleeves, soft cotton.  I will take a photo while I am wearing it.

Sounds great. I've always loved horizontal stripes and I love hoodies  :D
I had a horizontal striped hoodie once  (purple and green! uh) and for years it was my favorite piece of clothing.

I used to like horizontal stripes too - when I was thinner.   ;D  I think that is why there are none in my current wardrobe.

He he  ;D. I have less scruple. I still wear horizontal stripes, I just avoid broader stripes, have switched to narrow stripes and loose fit shirts.

Or another trick is, pick stripes in colors close in tone. For example, brown and black, or dark green and navy. I think the only real problems come with starkly contrasting colors in broad stripes.

I concur with Mikaela and Elle that it's time to let the topic of Jake's not making a statement fade away, at least on this thread.  We talk about Heath here, and though Jake will always be relevant to Heath, there's not much more to be said on this right now.

Thanks for listening, Heathens!  :-*

Mod Meryl

Thank goodness.  I come here for the Heath pictures, but I won't if it's at the expense of poor Jake.
Heath's loss is truly sad - what a waste.   :(
Did anyone think maybe, Jake was so devastated, he couldn't talk about it?
Maybe he couldn't handle going to funerals (like me), or maybe he wasn't invited?
Grieving is a private matter and different for everyone.
I don't think any less of him for any perceived action/inaction/reaction, whatever.
JMHO, but I'd like to see paparazzi and people in general just leave 'm be.

Well, Sonny, it was lovely.  Ms. Roux came over and first had some birthday cake with me and part of my family.  Amazingly, it was our FOURTH! time together - first at the original Castro adventure in 2006, then at the Colorado BBQ and the Alberta Pilgrimage in 2007, then last night in 2008. 

She took me to a lovely restaurant nearby, where we talked about our lives, and being Brokies, BetterMost, families, the town we're in, food, and of course Heath.

We're going to get together the morning of his birthday, and we'll write about that after the fact.

I love Roux!

Also, two days ago, I celebrated my second anniversary here at BetterMost.  Love to all my buds.

Now this picture I really, truly like!!! I know Heath didn't care for this kind of thing....and it must be overwhelming.  But seeing what images he's being asked to sign there, it reminds me that he experienced the whole range of feedback for Ennis: Not only the Oscar hoopla craze and the innumerable and embarrassing "gay cowboy" gags and platitudes of the talk shows,  but also the direct gratitude and strong enthusiastic admiration of Brokeback fans. And even though he himself perhaps was uncomfortable with the sheer magnitude of it, I'm still glad that ordinary Brokies and fans got to meet him and show their appreciation.

Really? To me, everyone (except for maybe Mark Addy) looks exactly like their "Knight's Tale" selves, just in different clothes. Interesting. Heath certainly looks young enough for it to have been taken around the time of AKT.

It's strange - Heath looks younger than his knight alter ego - the others however IMO look older, paler, more drawn, etc. I suppose it's proof of the magic of movie lighting, movie makeup, movie grading and other post-production effects - it's very easy to note the absence of all that in RL!  :)

Or perhaps they've just been celebrating the film,  partying into the wee hours.  ;)

The mention of the "nuzzle" above makes me nostalgic for a great, ancient thread back on imdb years ago... called "Ode to the Nuzzle."  Does anyone else remember that one
:)

Very sweet. :)

Every single still from that scene speaks more than entire long and eventful scenes in other movies, or whole films, even. I can never get enough - even after 2.5 years. The first pic in the second of the 2 posts is my avatar on LJ.  :)

YOU started Ode to The Nuzzle  :o ? ? ?

I LOVED that thread; I think we all did, still do. And I love the title Ode to The Nuzzle - that's so sweet, poetic even. That was you? Somehow I thought you came later to the game (to BBM).
You live and learn.......

Anyway, a very belated thank you for the thread  :-*

I started posting on imdb in November 2005 and then met David in Feb 2006 and then moved to Bettermost together with him!

No, I hadn't seen them at least. Thank you for bringing them here! Looks like the Joker branches out in more disguises than I'd thought - even to the point of cross-dressing!  8)

Like him in the cop uniform. Apart from the bubbling Joker cheek scar thing it's *Heath*.... and new "Heath recognizable as Heath"- images are so *very* welcome.  :-\ :)

That's awesome Mel!!!!  I didn't realize that.  Yep, "The Ode to the Nuzzle" is one of those truly classic threads.  I bet it's in the archive that newyearsday put together back when people started moving over here from imdb and other boards.

Well, congrats on that thread! 8) :-*

Thanks, it was the first (and last?) thread that I got a lot of replies on! I was kind of shy back then, had never been on any online forums. So that made me happy at the time I remember...  ;D

That's really odd.I thought I was the only one who had a thing about hands.I love long slim fingers and wrists,just peeking out the end of shirt sleeves.The 1st thing I noticed about the absoloute love of my life was his incredible long fingers.Ditto Heath.

I've got my striped shirt ready to wear to work tomorrow. Narrow brown, blue and white soft-coloured stripes... not that different from what Ennis would have worn. Well, except from the style and shape of the thing.

See you all tomorrow!

I think I'm going to stare at this picture for a bit...

*sigh* It's so hard to accept that there won't be any new pictures. But I'll be eternally grateful for his powerful and heartbreakingly sensitive portrayal of Ennis Del Mar.

Thank you Heath.  :-*

Good morning Heathens  :)

A day with mixed feelings for us today...
I'm thinking very much of Michelle and Matilda and his family today. How hard it must be for them  :'(.
But mostly, I think of Heath. He would be only 29 today. Much too young, he should be with us for another 50 years.
I'm also thinking of the Heathfest we had last year for his birthday and I'm crying again.

 :'( :'( :'(


We miss you Heath!

  Ledger was born in Perth, Western Australia, the son of Sally Ledger Bell (née Ramshaw), a French teacher, and Kim Ledger, a race car driver and mining engineer.[10] Ledger's father comes from a family known in Perth for their ownership of the Ledger Engineering Foundry.[11] The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust was named after his great-grandfather.[12] Ledger attended Mary's Mount Primary School, in Gooseberry Hill,[13][14] and later Guildford Grammar School, where he had his first acting experiences, starring in a school production as Peter Pan at age 10.[12][4]

Ledger had an older sister, Kate. Their parents divorced when he was 11. Other siblings include two half-sisters, Ashleigh Bell (b. 1989), his mother's daughter with her second husband and his stepfather Roger Bell, and Olivia Ledger (b. 1997), his father's daughter with second wife and his stepmother Emma Brown.[15]

Ledger was an avid chess player, winning Western Australia's junior chess championship at the age of 10.[16][17] As an adult, he often played with other chess enthusiasts at Washington Square Park.[18][19]

Prior to 2002, Ledger had dated actresses Lisa Zane and Heather Graham.[20] From August 2002 to April 2004, Ledger had a relationship with actress Naomi Watts, whom he met during the filming of Ned Kelly.[21]

Ledger met and began dating actress Michelle Williams on the set of Brokeback Mountain, and their daughter, Matilda Rose, was born on October 28, 2005 in New York City.[22] Matilda Rose's godparents are Ledger's Brokeback co-star Jake Gyllenhaal and Williams' Dawson's Creek castmate Busy Philipps.[23][24] Problems with paparazzi in Australia prompted Ledger to sell his residence in Bronte, New South Wales and move to the United States, where he shared an apartment with Williams, in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, from 2005 to 2007.[25][3][26][27][28]

We love you Heath. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Heath!

Thank you.
I second every word of the above. And repeat them;

Happy birthday, and thank you, thank you, thank you!

Though I know the Oscar hoopla was stressful to Heath (and to his fans), and he had to show up not dressed in his usual inimitable style, I still do love pictures from the event, whether it's him alone or him and Michelle together. He just seemed to have such an inner glow of immense happiness and health at the time. They both did.

So I think this is indeed the picture I'd like to borrow to say Happy Birthday to a fantastic actor and beautiful and unique person.  :-*



Danke schön for all the wonderful pics from all his roles, Chrissi. It's been a bittersweet joy to look through them all.

I love it!  :D
It's great RouxB. I had the same idea. I wanted to get the band, and put stars on the inside instead of letters. For me, it would have been five stars, for the five members of my family. But in the end I chickened out on the wrist tattoo and decided for the shoulder (you've seen it).

Chrissi In person my wrist tat looks quite a bit like yours-the lines are very fine and delicate. I need some touch-up done when it heals though. I am a trifle put out because I, of course, wanted it just like his. I had a million pics and views and yet it still isn't quite right. Oh well, nothing that can't be fixed. I did one star for Jake (blue) and the other for Heath-red because he wears alot of red. I wanted it to be striped but that would have looked too patriotic during wartime (and that just ain't me).

Chess Girl, I downloaded our pictures and just need your okay to post your lovely face.

I met TBFKA Ellemeno for breakfast at 8- I began to cry as soon as she wrapped me up in her arms. We just held each other for a bit both knowing what a bittersweet thing we were about to do. When we went to the counter to order, neither of us could remember His favorite breakfast (steak and eggs) so I had the pancakes and she had the omelette.

When we were done eating, we wrote out our eulogies/love letters and walked down to the water to present them.

HeathRxB and Ellemeno,

Thank you very, very much for making us part of your experience, for the beautiful words on the postcard, and  for including my name too. Yes, Heath to me has been and keeps on being such an inspiration. I spent Friday walking by the sea too (North West Italy), it was a gorgeous day, clear, intense blue sky, the sea sometimes blue, sometimes emerald green because of the rich vegetation in the little bays reflecting in the sea. Warm with a nice breeze, just the perfect day, I felt as if Heath's free spirit was floating around.

Also thank you ALL for the wonderful pics you keep on posting.

Aww, that's such a sweet idea. It amazes me how many Brokies do some kind of personal tribute and how many different ways we find to do it.

The other day my son went to the bakery with me and made a stop at every flower bed we saw along the way. He admired almost every single flower - but the only ones he asked for the name were the Heath flowers  :D. Made me smile.

"The shirt seemed heavy until he saw there was another shirt inside it, the sleeves carefully worked down inside Jack's sleeves.It was his own plaid shirt, lost, he'd thought, long ago in some damn laundry, his dirty shirt, the pocket ripped, buttons missing, stolen by Jack and hidden here inside Jack's own shirt, the pair like two skins, one inside the other, two in one. He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands."

I read this today and cried for our loss. Missing Heath -- I remember that it was his idea to switch the shirts when he put them in the closet at the trailer. That was a beautiful idea -- genius.

Have you read what Diana Ossana said about the filming of this scene in her tribute in The Advocate? I found her tribute very touching.

"One of my most endearing memories of working with Heath on set was the day we filmed the final scene in Brokeback.  Before the first take, Heath walked over to me, a big smile on his face, and said, "I think you're going to like what I've done with thhis scene."  Then he headed inside that bleak little trailer house, and the cameras rolled.  I watched the monitor as Ennis opened his tiny closet door and revealed the two shirts he had found hidden inside Jack's childhood bedroom, like skins, one inside the other... and realized that Heath, as Ennis, had chosen to reverse the order of those shirts, with his on the outside, embracing Jack's.  Such was Heath's commitment to the truth of our story and to the rawness and depth of his portrayal.  Afterward our grizzzled and thoroughly macho first assistant director marched over to me, bent down, and whispered in my ear, "Diana, I've worked in this business 50 years.  This is the first time an actor's brought a tear to my eye."

I'm not sure why you hesitated posting these but a big Thank you for doing so!  I watched a little bit of the Fantauzo interview but being at work I can't watch the whole thing at the moment but I will when I get home.  I can't wait!

What exactly is the controversy about the painting?  It's absolutely beautiful and makes a wonderful tribute.  I think we are lucky to have it.

Thankyou so much for both of those.The interview with the artist was so revealing.At first I really did not like the portrait,I think it seemed too raw.The more I see it and read about its conception,the more it grows on me.The 2nd tribute piece,just reduced me to tears again!!!!!
The author so eloquently captures how so many of us feel at the death of Heath.He is not mocking or condescending,but genuine.He also captures the "spirit" of the Heath we all felt we knew, beautifully.
So again,big thankyou.

What's to debate about these links? They're great!  :)
Thank you very much for posting them here. I encourage you to also post them in the Heath rememberance forum.


I really like Vincent Fantauzzo. I liked everything he said about the painting (and about Heath, obviously). I'm still not the biggest fan of his portrait, or of his style of painting in general, from what I saw on his web page. (I feel almost bad for saying so, since he seemed so anxious about how people judge his work - but I think it's safe to assume he won't read it here).
But Fantauzzo seems to be a really genuine person. I liked that he hesitated to enter the portrait to the Archibald and only did so because he was encouraged by friends and had the ok from Heath' mother. And I liked that he'll give it to her.

I echo everyone's thanks. Personally, I appreciate this type of commentary-from a real friend rather than this pseudo friends coming out of the woodwork speaking of him as though they know him. They don't know him. More selfishly, it validates my own feeling for and about him. For some reason I think I get him even not knowing him. When I read these loving tributes I just think to myself "see-I knew it". And mostly it allows me to let myself off the hook for how profoundly his leaving has affected me. People have expressed their "worry" about me but there is nothing to worry about. I am very simply sad and missing what he was to me and what he will never be able to be. I miss the space he took up in my life and very few people really get that.

I showed my boss my new tattoo today and he said, shocked, "I never would have expected you to do something like that". But he doesn't know about me and Heath, he just doesn't know.

Post by: yb on April 08, 2008, 10:21:43 pm
I debated whether to post them or not because I know quite a few people do not like the portrait.  But I think watching the interview will help people understand the work process between Heath and Vincent Fantauzzo and the times Heath spent in his hometown during that period.  I think it is both comforting and sad at the same time, to me anyway.

The article by Luke Davies is another gem from someone who really understands and loves Heath.

I didn't post them in the Heath Remebrance section because in some odd way I feel more attached to this thread, it's like a safe haven to a Heathen here.

This is an interview (video and article) of Verne Troyer recalling working with Heath on Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and how a lot of people working on the set has tattooed a heart which Heath had scribbled on a note in memory of him.  Here's the article and the link where you may see the video in which he broke down in tears:

Verne Troyer Recalls Working With Heath Ledger On His Final Film: 'Heath Meant A Lot To A Lot Of People'

Troyer even got a tattoo with other 'Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' cast- and crewmembers in memory of the late actor.

SANTA MONICA, California — When people normally see Verne Troyer, sadness is the farthest thing from their minds. The world's smallest movie star has brought laughter to millions as Mini-Me, the diminutive sidekick to Dr. Evil in the "Austin Powers" films, and reteams with Mike Myers in June for the comedy "The Love Guru."

The drama he most recently finished shooting, however, has grabbed international headlines with its tragic and ultimately inspiring behind-the-scenes story. This week, an emotional Troyer tried to hold back the tears, speaking about his "Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" co-star and friend Heath Ledger.

"I've just got to say thank you to Heath for letting me be a part of his life for that short period of time," Troyer said, thinking back to the day the world first heard about the Oscar nominee's January 22 death. "It's just tragic.

"What happened was that we had just finished filming in London, and I had a scene with Heath, as did Christopher Plummer, who's also in the film, Lily Cole and Andrew Garfield," the actor recalled. "We had all just worked with him and we all flew back. He flew back to New York, I flew back to L.A., and two days or three days after he was in New York was when it happened. I was still recovering from jet lag back in L.A., and I didn't know about it until my manager called me. She wouldn't tell me on the phone. She literally came over and told me. And I just literally broke down."

At that sensitive memory, Troyer had to pause for a moment and request a tissue. But still, he insisted on finishing up the thought.

"He was such a talented actor and just a good person all around," he added. "I couldn't believe it."

Written and directed by legendary filmmaker Terry Gilliam, Troyer admitted that any attempt at summarizing the fantasy world of "Parnassus" would be futile. Still, he gave it his best shot.

"Christopher Plummer plays Doctor Parnassus, and I play Percy. My real name is Percival St. Antwon Delatrane the third," he grinned. "It's a traveling theater group, and we have an old horse-drawn carriage, and the wagon folds out into a theater with a stage. We travel from town to town. We have a magic mirror that people go into to experience their imaginations, and they have a choice of which direction they want their lives to go. There's one direction where it looks good, but it's actually not good, and then there's [one] that doesn't look good, and that's probably the right path to take."

After Ledger's death, there were concerns that the film could be scrapped and the actor's final scenes lost forever. Then, Troyer remembered, something very special happened.

"We had Johnny Depp, we had Colin Farrell, we had Jude Law come in and do scenes, just to honor Heath," he explained. "[Now], when Heath goes into the mirror, he comes out as another person, and that's where these other actors come in."

As those A-listers helped complete the film, Troyer and many of the other people in the "Parnassus" family devised their own tribute to the "Brokeback Mountain" star. "There was a note that Heath had written his e-mail on and had given it to Holly, who is Terry's daughter and a publicist for the film," he explained. "After his e-mail, he scribbled a heart on it."

Now, that very scribble is inked forever on Troyer's right hand. "A lot of us went and copied that heart and had it tattooed, in remembrance of Heath," he explained, showing off his heartfelt symbol. "We had it copied identical to how he scribbled it. ... [We have it in] various places. I believe Lily got it on the inside of her arm. Holly got it up on the inside of her arm."

As it now stands, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is looking like it will survive to give Ledger's legion of heartbroken fans the opportunity to glimpse the last scenes he ever performed before a camera, likely sometime in 2009. Troyer understands why they're eager to experience one last Ledger memory — and will always be happy that he was able to do the same.

"It's a scene where we've just picked up Heath, and he was knocked-out, and we put him in the trunk of the carriage and he comes out of the carriage not knowing where he's at," Troyer recalls of his favorite memory of the late actor. "Then I come out of my quarters, which is underneath the wagon, in a drawer that pulls out. ... It was this scene where it's just me and him. He was off-camera [for a while]. It was basically just on me, and I got to react off of him. He helped me get through a scene [where I had to say my name]. I stumbled a couple of times trying to get through it.

"Terry, don't get mad at me," he continued, offering his director an apology. "I have footage, personal footage, of that scene that I took on my camera. And that's something I'm going to treasure for a lifetime.

"Heath meant a lot," Troyer added, "to a lot of people."

Thanks for posting those pics, Chrissi. For some reason, those set photos are making me really, really sad. Maybe because Heath looks so much like Ennis, but he is a smiling, happy Ennis. We didn't see very many smiles in the movie.

I was just watching it, enjoying it thoroughly, thinking how amused Heath seems, and not as awkward as ususally - and then suddenly it hit me again: there will be no more new interviews. I'm watching the past, it's over, he's gone.
 :'( :'( :'(

I will second that.I simply cannot get my head around the fact that all we have now is the past,no future.Watching the interview,Heath is so alive and tangible,it just hurts all over again.I despair of ever getting to grips with it all.Every time I think it is safe to go back in the water,something else jumps out at me and the tears roll again.I cannot begin to imagine how his family and friends feel.They must be in pain beyond anything I can comprehend.

I just watched Two Hands for the first time (don't tell Lynne) and I loved it. I've had it for awhile but couldn't bring myself to watch it. I made myself sit down with it last night-had it on while I read fan fiction. When it was over I watched it again, really watched it, and then headed over to IMDb. If you haven't seen it, I recommend that you do. It ties with Casanova for third place in my Health favorites (but only because Candy is so tough to watch).

It was at the Berlinale 2006 (early in the year; February, maybe March) and Candy was the movie in competition. I'm pretty sure, although LedgersLadies titled it with Venice. Look at the background, you can read "Berlinale" there. And I've seen pics with him and Abbie Cornish from the Berlinale 06.

She seems to have changed a little in her face, like little girls at her age do very quickly (I remember with my sister's daughter, it was like one week she still looked like a baby and the next she was a toddler, then recently she looked like a toddler still and then a week ago I saw her and she was suddenly a little girl). But I still see so much Heath, it's incredibe. It must be both consoling and confronting for Michelle.

Post by: Penthesilea on April 15, 2008, 01:19:44 am
I tell you, they f*ed up badly with the dubbing of BG.  >:(.

Normally, every actor has their "own" German voice = dubbing speaker. Yesterday, the Heath character spoke, but I heard Matt Damon's voice  :o. Then Matt's character answered, and I thought, no, wait a minute, *that* is Matt Damon's voice.
To make it short: both voices were Matt Damon's. Damon's regular dubbing speaker died and therefore he has a second one, and we're used to both voices.

Normally Heath has another voice in German, one that is actually quite similar to his own. But in BG his voice is spoken by one of the Matt Damon speakers  :P.
To make the confusion complete, they altered the character's names between their American and their German versions: Jake or Jakob and Will or Wilhelm.
And now the highlight: at one instance the Damon character called his brother not Jakob, not Jake - but Jack!  :o

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
It was so bad, I actually had to laugh about it. I somehow had the feeling they did all this confusing stuff extra for me and other Brokies  ;) :laugh:. Had to think of how many times Brokies mixed up Jake with Jack back on IMDB.

I'll go and buy the DVD on Amazon; then I can see the OV.  :)

I have to say, I'm puzzled by this whole 'dubbing' thing. I mean, you do take away an essential part of an actor's performance, his voice and the way he uses it. I guess this has never been more true than for Ennis in Brokeback Mountain.

I was flipping through channels the other day and came across The Patriot in French. It was weird, listening to Heath and knowing that that wasn't the way he sounds at all.

Are there no people who are asking for more original subtitled movies in Germany? The only ones that are dubbed over here are animated movies, but that's because the children they are made for aren't old enough to be able to read the subtitles. I have to say, some of the dubbing is very good. But you don't 'miss' the actor's voice because it's not a real actor of course.

Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: MaineWriter on April 15, 2008, 09:01:08 am
You are right about the dubbing thing, Fabienne. Here in the US, all foreign movies have subtitles. US movies are in English. I am not sure I have ever seen a dubbed movie in the theater. I have seen some on TV. And I think the DVD version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has an English version and a Chinese one with subtitles. But in the theater, we could only see it in Chinese.

In Australia, we strictly only ever use subtitles for non-English productions, both at the cinema and also on the SBS television network, which plays lots of foreign-language movies and television programs. Dubbing is never used here.

I personally believe that an integral aspect of an actor's skill and talent lies in the application and use of one of the primary instrument of their profession - their  voice. And each actor's voice is unique and different. Idiosyncratically unique and different. How appalling to have a two-bit voice-over "actor" dubbing for a major artist.

I've never met any person who would prefer subtitles to dubbing  :-\. I think it's a matter of what you're used to. To be honest, I also don't mind the dubbing of a, say, Chinese movie very much (although I'd still prefer subtitling, if I had a choice). I agree that a part of the acting gets lost in translation. But when you grew up with it, you don't know it any other way.
Just imagine aliens caming to the earth and they're very human-like, with the only difference they have three eyes. If they asked you if you don't miss a third eye, you'd probably say no.

Yup, agreed.

For the red part: now, that's a bit too harsh, IMO. Dubbing itself is an art, too (or at least a craft). Different from acting, but also something that requires skills.
Usually, they really try hard, from what I can judge. They try to find similar voices, they do not only translate, but try to use their voices in a way that is true to the original. You're right that it will always stay a surrogate and that parts of the acting will get lost. You will never achieve 100% the same thing as the original. That's why I'd prefer subtitling, like I already said.
But it's not the evil on the earth either.

Apart from Brothers Grimm, of course  ;D. They really f*ed up the movie in this case.

That's interesting because ieven in France, and we all know how chauvinistic the French can be  ;), they offer both a dubbed and an original version.  At least that's was I was lead to believe.

Now that would be a good compromise. In Germany, many networks (I think all public channels) used to do this. But only via cabel, not via satellite. But they quit doing so a few years ago, because it's more expensive. The networks then have to pay for the rights to air a movie twice: for the German version and for the original version.

Oh well, I'll have to live with it. But that doesn't keep me from bitching about it from time to time  ;D.

I've seen some dubbed-to-German films and TV shows (I used to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Pro7 years and years ago...) and I have to agree with Chrissi that it by and large is amazing how well the dubbing works. They take great pains to make the spoken German fit the lip movements, and to use relatively distinct voice actors, etc. So it's normally not at all *that* bad -  but when you have an original version with an actor sporting such a distinct voice as Heath's, an original version voice that makes you positively weak in the knees.... then there's no matching that and a lot of necessity *has* to be lost in the dubbing.

Norway does as Belgium - nothing is dubbed except animated movies for small kids. Otherwise it's subtitling all the way. One of the reasons Norwegians are relatively proficient in English, I'm sure, since most films and TV are English-spoken.

Actually I meant for movies shown at the cinema, one theatre would show the dubbed version and another would show the subtitled Version Originale (VO). They do that in Montreal as well.  I don't know about movies shown on TV.  Of course they can only do that in large urban centres I can't imagine small towns showing two versions of the same film.  It's probably a result of the multi-cultural aspect.

Here is a Heath trivia quiz I found.  Once you click on the link, you have until the blue line disappears to answer the questions.  There are ten questions, but they keep revolving so you can keep answering them to see how many points you can get before the blue line disappears.  I got 17 points.  Ready?  Go!

Post your results!  :)

I love the Casanova pics. Love the movie too.

I read that Heath said that doing that movie was like a holiday, eating lots of pasta and drinking red wine, and that he needed that after Brokeback Mountain. It shows in the pictures, he looks relaxed.

I forgot to say I got 17 points the second time I took it.  I didn't know the answers any better, just understood to go fast, which I didn't understand the first time (when I got 9 points).

I took the quiz and came up with 12 good answers! But I answered 'New York' when asked where he had bought a house and that wasn't the correct answer.  ???

I think it's an old, old quiz.  The website says it hasn't been modified since, I think, 2003.  I put New York too.

Morning, Fabienne...

I read that too. He started off being very serious about the role, doing lots of reading and research and then when he realized the movie was a bit more lighthearted, he went into holiday mode.

I am having one of those, "I can't believe he's not in New York" moments.  :(

Because of all these lovely threads and pictures,I somehow seemed to have not got my head round him no longer being with us.I got such a shock this morning when just out of interest i looked Heath up on Wikipedia and there jumped out the word "was". The use of the past tense struck me so forcefully I felt winded.
Just goes to show me that I had not even vaguely come to terms with him no longer being around.Still cannot use the d word.I must have been living in fantasy land.The jolt I received this morning hurt like hell.

This morning I was driving next to a horse trailer and wondered what Ennis would think about such a fancy rig (Ennis talking to me again is a joy I can't even explain). Now if only I can locate Jack...

My tat is healed enough to draw on and fill in the changes that need to be made. And I now know I will love it.

I guess the healing has begun

Photobucket is acting up. Or, I think my PC is acting up to changes on photobucket. Two days ago they changed their surface for uploading pictures and since then, I can't use it anymore. Every time I click on it, my whole browser shuts down  >:(.

That is very true. This pic, however, is from the movie and for me will always and forever represent that which is quintessentially Ennis. I love this pic. Whenever I look at it, I can always hear Heath's deep, husky voice asking, "What?"  :'(

I love that photo too.It ceases completely to be Heath and is 100% Ennis.I have been looking at some of his other films and he always manages to become the character.
It is nothing to do with costume and make up and all down to his expressions and voice.It is the biggest travesty of all that he did not get an oscar.

We took your advice, Chrissi!  John, Jenny and I met for brunch this morning at Spring Street Natural, just around the corner from Heath's old digs.  Yummy, cheap(ish) food, nice atmosphere, and a bonafide Heath haunt.  It was great to catch up with Jenny, who broke the news that she's probably moving to Hawaii this summer.  How about we have the next BBQ on the beach at Waikiki?  ;D 

We were belatedly celebrating Jenny's and my birthdays, and happily, today is John's birthday!  It's a gorgeous, sunny spring day here.  After brunch, we hung out by Heath's front door a bit before going our separate ways.  Hugs to all Heathens!  :-*

I've seen a few plaques here and there, mostly for historical figures like Roosevelt or Washington Irving.  It probably depends on the property owner wanting to put up something.  Maybe the Landmarks Commission has a committee, but I've never heard of it.  It's not very likely Heath will get a plaque, being so young and having lived in that building only a few months.  I'll keep an eye out for others.

Look at that walking stance, imagine it on Heath.  So the same.  Leslie, did you see Michelle's new movie has your fella in it?

And could that possibly be Heath's hat?

That is uncanny how like Heath she looks.It is funny how the gene pool divides.My oldest son looks like neither mother or father.My daughter is 50/50 split between me and husband and middle son is just like a mini dad.
I cannot imagine how it is for Michelle to l,ook at her daughter every day and see Heath satring back.I do not know if it is a good orbad thing.

Oh yes. I was posting pictures on the Hugh Hugh Hugh thread yesterday. The movie looks like it might be a bomb, so if you want to see Michelle, Hugh Jackman or Ewan McGregor, I would suggest going next weekend, when it opens. It might not last long.

Well, I'd seen it before.  :D Watching it twice marks me as an even more rabid Heathen, I suppose.

I posted a list of reviews-in-brief of all the Heath films I'd seen back in early January (?) - at least before you-know-what  :-\  - and the following is what I had to say about the Sin Eater. I didn't watch the film to the end tonight, it was going on 2 AM  :o when I gave up, but as far as I watched it, my opinion didnt' budge at all. The only thing I noticed much more now was Heath's voice.... and the only thing I'd forgotten was the strangeness that this film had half the team from "Knight's Tale" reuniting - it's the same director, and Shannyn Sossamon and Mark Addy are acting in addition to Heath - and yet, what a difference in the overall quality of the films! This one is so pretentious I can't imagine what Heath was thinking when he accepted the role.

Anyway, here's my review-in-brief. (The one-line summary is that Heath looks so gorgeous throughout it that the film is worth watching for that alone. Though now, even *that* joy  comes with a bittersweet sadness...)


Heath walks around in this looking absolutely stunning and smoldering and conflicted and angsty and glowering. ** Fans self** That and that alone earns the film its place on this list. Mystic-religious, strange and darkly enigmatic drama, plot and storyline very weird and not by any means intellectually *or* emotionally engaging, and point of same near to completely incomprehensible to me. Annoying and silly. Maybe it makes sense to devout Catholics, though I sincerely doubt that. Then again, Heath’s character ends up as some self-sacrificing sort of demi-god/angel, who is destined to suffer on others’ behalf and therefore will look stunning and smoldering and angsty etc. etc. *all* the time!! while continuing his existence for centuries upon centuries. So that’s clearly a bonus development in the middle of the muddle.

OT here, but since we just discussed dubbing/subtitling movies here:

I just skimmed throught the cinema programs of my area when I had a light bulb moment. They show Pan's Labyrinth in the original language with German subtitles and I remembered seeing the movie on my flight to the US last year. I saw it in Spanish with English subtitles. And I remember that I found it so very easy and effortless to follow the events on the screen and the subtitles simultaneously.

Unlike seeing movies in a foreign language with German subtitles. The latter requires much higher attention and is simply more difficult. And German is my native language, English only second!

English is just more on the spot than German. When you translate a text from English to German, the German version is always a good part longer because in many cases it requires a long-winded phrase where in English one or two words are enough.

I think this is one reason that the Germans dub movies instead of subtitling them.

Over on the Hugh, Hugh, Hugh thread (Anything Goes) I posted the full interview that this comment comes from. Hugh's new movie, Deception opens today. It also stars Michelle Williams.


The late Heath Ledger was a regular visitor to the New York set and his then partner Michelle Williams.

‘‘At the time of shooting, beginning of last year, the situation was very different, those guys were together and both very committed parents and Michelle obviously still is,'' Jackman says.

‘‘I just really feel for her. It's an incredibly difficult time and she's an unbelievably committed mother. As a working actress, a year ago her focus was very much on (daughter) Matilda and looking after her. Nothing has changed there.''

The Findingbrokeback site has a new interview up, with David Trimble who played the Basque. It's a great read, check it out!  :D

David Trimble shared a bit about Heath and Ang; I thought my fellow Heathens might be interested to read:

Quote from the Findingbrokeback site:

Q: Ang Lee directed you?

A: It was Ang. Super, super particular. Super particular. At the Basque Bridge, we sat—for the right lighting—we sat for that for about an hour-and-a-half by the bridge. At one point Heath had his shirt off, his jacket off, and [pointing to screen cap] see that wire there? He was hanging and going hand over hand along the wire.

Ang kept looking through his finder and waiting and waiting and waiting, and people were making fun, and the great thing—Ang has a great sense of humor—so they were taking the piss out of him, and he was taking the piss back out of them. It was such a relaxed, amazing set because of him. It’s trickle down,  right? And Ang Lee, right at the top of that totem pole, being such a sweet man, affected everyone. Like for Heath to be able to take off his shirt and start monkeying around just shows you how relaxed it really was.

But then, as soon as the right light started to come, I remember Ang at one point looking up and he said, “Okay, ten minutes. We have ten minutes. Everyone be ready in ten minutes.” We probably only have five, maybe ten minutes to get this shot in. So everybody, just like gangbusters, getting ready, getting set up to get this shot in, and he’s like, “Okay, here it is, here it is. Ready? Ready? Go.”

Deception (the new movie with Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor, and Michelle Williams) is getting pretty much savaged by the critics, but I found this interesting review at the Pioneer Press website, a newspaper from Minneapolis. One thing, though...Michelle played Coco Rivington, not Edie Sedgwick in I'm Not There. Why why why can't they ever get the little details right? Sigh....


Movie review: Michelle Williams complicates thriller, in a good way

Pioneer Press
Article Last Updated: 04/24/2008 11:49:33 AM CDT

I was reluctant to go public with my crush on Michelle Williams' acting until I was sure it was real, but "Deception" confirms everything.

The movie is not great, but Williams is. Her part is both underwritten and clichéd — she's the beautiful temptress who is damaged in ways the movie doesn't care about — but Williams breathes so much humanity and vulnerability into the part that, when she's onscreen, "Deception" is thrown offbalance. It's supposed to be about the two guys, played by Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman, but they both fade next to Williams' incandescent talent.

McGregor plays a drab accountant who falls under the spell of a flashy businessman (Jackman). Jackman lures McGregor into a sex club, whose members anonymously phone each other for quickies (it's like craigslist, without Craig). McGregor meets confident, provocative Williams, known only as "S" (McGregor guesses it stands for Sybil or Sophie, but we suspect it is short for Screwed Up), only to discover he has unwittingly stepped into criminal territory, complete with a body and a pile of stolen cash.

"Deception" has a placid beauty that isn't necessarily an asset, since "placid" goes with "thriller" about as well as "raw" goes with "pork." Director Marcel Langenegger has been handed a script that's filled with coincidences and happenstance, the sort of thing that might work if he ripped through it so quickly that we don't notice things aren't adding up, but his lush, slowed-down approach gives us plenty of time to tote up the improbabilities.

It doesn't help that McGregor and Jackman's characters are so dully unsympathetic — their deaths would simply give the world one or two less Armani-clad tools. But Langenegger did one thing right, and that was casting Williams. The actress, in a role very different from the wounded homemaker in "Brokeback Mountain" or Edie Sedgwick in "I'm Not There," seems incapable of playing an uncomplicated person. Her smoky eyes and blank dialogue are meant to tell us she's a Kim Novak-style suicide blonde in "Deception," but Williams conveys so much hurt, insecurity and need that you hope she doesn't end up with either of the dudes who are fighting over her.

I have just watched Candy. The scene where she miscarried the baby was harrowing. It made me cry. Heath was denied two oscars; for Brokeback Mountain and Candy. It,s just brought it home to me even  more what a terrible loss his death is. What a great actor he was. Bless him.  :'(

And so say all of us.

As we all know, Ennis and Jack worked as sheepherders for their summer up on Brokeback. Although Joe Aguirre was not entirely happy with their work performance, I have just found out they developed some new, innovative methods of keeping the sheep under control...methods which, when all were said and done, gave them more time in the tent (just what they wanted!).  ;) Here is a very rare, achival documentary piece of evidence of their method...

It was lovely to see Heath's sweet face on the front page of my newspaper this morning:

(http://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o126/kez4oz/Album%201/SundayTelegraphHeadline270408.jpg)

And he was on the back cover, too.

 Is it just me or do some of the photos of Heath with his very short hair, bear some resemblance to David Beckham. I don't always see it and am not a big Beckham fan.It just strikes me occasionally.

Same here.I think it's a case of too many senses being involved with videos.A certain song will upset me, without any images,but then combine the song and image and it is a bit too much for me at the moment.If I knew a certain smell was also associated with Heath,then I would probably go into complete meltdown.
I simply cannot imagine how his family cope.

I sincerely hope Heath's performance does prove to transcend all the TDK hype in the end.

'cause I admit I'm feeling TDK is rapidly approaching my maximum über-intense promotion tolerance level.

And it's only April yet.


But I agree, that poster sure is good, and thank you Mel for posting it!  :)

I find the poster upsetting/disturbing. Mainly because it has the names Ledger and Gyllenhaal together on it(albeit Jakes sister) The last time those two names were together on a film poster was for BBM and both parties wre still present.
Everything was ahead for Heath,he really did have the world at his feet,amazing reviews of his performance,baby daughter and girlfriend and what seemed like endless possibilities ahead.
I know it is silly but I just struggle with it all still.

The videos kinda do me in too but I love seeing new pics and vids of him. I am still pretty much beside myself with sadness-"functionally sad" I dubbed it yesterday. I'm fine as long as my distractions are more urgent than my thoughts but it doesn't take much to send me to the tearful place.  I am continually perplexed by my reaction to this and find myself hesitating when people ask me what my tattoo means.

I was thinking the exact same thing... it really is a surreal to see the names Ledger and Gyllenhaal on a different poster (i.e. not BBM).  And, it's like everything is topsy-turvy because not only is it a different Gyllenhaal, but Heath of course is no longer with us. Too, too difficult to absorb in many ways.

Agree 100% and also am really dreading another Gyllenhaal, undoubtedly talking and being interviewed about acting with Heath.Last time that happened they were both here and the interviews were such fun to watch.
In fact I just want it to all be over.I was so obsessed with seeing every BBM interview and clip.I don't want to see anything to do with the dark knight.I know it is probably sacrilegious but I want it to disappear.
Maybe then I can start to return to some semblance of normality.
You are so right,it is all topsy turvy.Wrong Gyllenhaal,wrong film and no Heath.What is worst of all is that had he still been here,I would have been really anticipating the release,and also comparing the 2 Gyllenhaals experiences of working with him.
I cannot imagine how his friends and family will cope when all the hype really starts.I truly feel for them.

There's a new bootleg TDK trailer, with lots of Joker glimpses, mostly stuff we've seen hinted at or images from before, including Joker+Ms. Dawes (aka Ledger and Gyllenhaal....) It's on YouTube, has been up a day, hasn't been pulled yet, surprisingly... I feel uncomfortable linking to it here because that might lead the powers that be to find it and have it pulled.

Anyone want to see it.. ? I can PM a link, I suppose. Be warned, it's very poor quality.


ETA: I see there are more than one version of the same. Search for "Batman 2 The Dark Knight New Trailer" at Youtube and it should pop up.

fwiw, I searched "Heath Ledger beautiful" on yahoo images and a whole string of flickr images (from Howie_Berlin) came up - all sorts of images of him in his striped red sweater (is it cotton or wool?) at an interview (one of you, more knowledgeable than me, will know what interview it is)...

I will second that. Although the recent photos have posed a dilemma.I always used to think the Heath smile was my favourite, but I find myself really liking the moody ones.
I suppose now he is gone it is nice to see differents sides to his multifaceted character.Stil don't thnk I am up for The dark knight though,And as for the new Terry Gilliam one,if that ever gets finished with the others who have been mentioned filling in for Heath.Well I cannot ever imagine going to see that.

Watching a lot of other actors(undoubtedly very good ones) when it should have been Heath,way too much for me to process.

Have a nice weekend Heathens  :)


I wanted to post this picture today (and I do  ;))

And I found more of the same photoshooting:

That is just gorgeous!  One for my personal collection.  Beautiful boyish Heath.



He really was a looker wasn't he.
 But more than that, in some of the photos, eg this one, you can see a whole lifetime of character and emotion in those eyes.Talk about an old soul.

I am pretty big on eyes, no surprise there in view of my occupation.But I really do believe they are the windows to the soul. More so in some that others.

It has always struck me how many times Heath was pictured wearing sunspecs.

It never struck me as a Hollywood thing with him.More  a way of guarding his emotions, privacy of the soul almost.
In that you can have all the photos of me you want. But you will very rarely get the true essence of me.

Hunh. They both look so much younger than they do in Ten Things I Hate About You. Were they friends before that movie?

Fabulous pictures Chrissi!

hey Court-long time...

Heath does look longer with the short, light hair. I think the two of them became friends during that film- Heath was pretty new to the states at that time. He was 19, the age he was when Ennis met Jack. Even though Heath and Jack were pretty young still during the filming of BbM, seeing pictures of them at 19 really brings home how young those characters were when they fell in love.

I can hardly believe how young Heath looked. It feels like such a strange visitation from the past, seeing those pictures.

And *is* that really Joseph Gordon-Levitt? I was thinking first yes, then maybe, then definitely "no" when I came to the last photo. He is pretty unrecognizable in that one. If it is, I'm reminded once more of the strange coincidence that these days, I think JGL looks so much like Heath in many more recent images, it always gives me a jolt every time I see it.

I don't think it's JGL. I think it's Andrew Keegan. One of the pics is scribbled on "... Andrew asks"

Weeks ago, my husband brought home a movie I had never heard of. The Lookout. I saw only one scene, pretty much at the beginning. It was dark and two teenagers were driving in a car at night. For a split-second I thought there was Heath, but of course it was JGL. You're right about that jolt. It hurts. I didn't watch the movie yet.

Another 10 Things picture today. I dunno. In some pics, I think JGL looks quite a bit like Heath, in others he doesn't have the slightest resemblance.

thanks for clearing that up. I don't know who AK is, - he looks like the grown-up love child of Keanu Reeves and Joseph G-L or something.  ( ::) at self. The weird turns my mind will take, sometimes!)

And when I watched 10things I didn't once react to Heath and JGL looking alike - it didn't strike me at all. It's as JGL has gotten older and more mature (and with a more brooding kind of look, in many pics and films) that the similarity to Heath has become striking. I also think it's more noticable in moving images/film than in stills.

Obviously Movies.msn needs to be updated.  Heath was cast for Terrence Malick's Tree of life but dropped out back in November and was replaced by Brad Pitt.  I think it was scheduling thing.  Does the site mention that he died?  ;)

I definitely think that if they ever make a biopic about Heath -- not that I think this would necessarily be a good idea, but if they ever do it anyway -- JGL would be perfect for the part. He'd be good in it, too.

I always thought they should play brothers.

Post by: Mikaela on May 06, 2008, 06:40:50 pm
I think this here news story is extremely sad. Heath's legacy has been reduced to a plastic action figure doll that collectors are buying up to sell on EBay...
Not that there's anything wrong with action an figure per se (considering my numerous Lord of the Rings action figures, complete with glow-in-the-dark swords, full sets of armour and what not, I can hardly claim there's not a legit and appreciative market for them). But when it comes with such morbid interest attached, and hectic greed from (some) customers in order to cash in on and profit from an untimely, tragic death.... it's depressing. *sigh* I don't know. I guess it's just human nature.  :-\ :'(

I feel in some ways, that Heath really did grow up "before our eyes" ...  He wasn't a child star per se, but when you look at all his early publicity shots, etc. compared to the more recent ones it's just a world of difference.

I don't know exactly what I MEAN by that, just wondering if others see it too.

Sometimes, in a weird way, I wish all the pictures weren't out there.

Oh one thing about Heath pics, is to remember sometimes he is in character, and sometimes not - so I think maybe that explains some of the Joker weirdness Mikaela?

 :-\

The Joker anticipation is making me miss him a lot.

I know what you mean. And it's no wonder. When he started acting, he was still a boy, a teenager. Itis a world of difference between a teenager and a grown up man in his late twenties, with an own family an' all.
What continues to amaze me is how he looks different ages in different movies. I know, make-up and all makes a difference. But still, when I see pictures of Casanova and then think this was afterhe became Ennis, it's still amazing.

Penthesilea and all Heathens,

Thank you very much for this thread, I come here almost every day.
I always look for your 'Good morning Heathens' Penthesilea.
I don't go the cinema in my country as  all foreign films get dubbed. I either wait for the DVD to come out (in which case I am happy to have the subtitles on as English isn't my first language) or hopefully when I go to London I am lucky enough to catch  a movie I am interested in.
On Italian tv I saw Ned Kelly and The Patriot, but it is just not the same. Unless I see The Dark Knight in London this summer I will wait for the DVD to be released, in my opinion Heath's voice is one of his biggest and most beaituful assets. And he was so good at taking on all the different accents.

Absolutely.  And one of the things I always respected and enjoyed about Heath is his relative frankness about his growing up process, as an actor and as a person.

I've come across a bear a photoshooting for LOD which I wanted to share with you. It's a series of seven pics. I'll post four today and the other three tomorrow morning. BTW, I think this skater park (or how would you call it?) is pretty cool. I've never seen something like it before. I don't think such a thing exists in Germany.

They look so different.  I guess this is them in real life.  But Michael Anganaro with short hair and the two other guys with brown hair is so different.

There is a skateboard bowl near where I live.  It's like a swimming pool, but built especially for skateboarding.  And people use it like the guys in the movie did.  I was there the other day, as a little Heath tribute during my day.

Yup. I wouldn't have recognized any of the other boys. Emile Hirsch maybe, but surely not the two others.

(http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m47/Penthesilea06/Sonstige/skatepark_offenbach_1.jpg)

Halfpipes are pretty common here, too (even my small village got one a few years ago). And if they add two ramps, they call it a skateboard park. Little different to what we see in the LOD photoshooting ;). But I found something more similar to it in Berlin. So that's what skaters do in Germany, maybe go to Berlin ;) :laugh:

Back to the LOD pix, they DO look different! Emile Hirsch was the only one I recognized at first (besides Heath, of course).

I have spent many a pleasant hour at skate parks -- on the sidelines, of course!  :laugh:  My sons both skateboard, so back in Minnesota we used to go to four different outdoor ones and one indoor one. And here in Illinois there are a couple near our house. I would take them there for an hour or two and then read while they boarded, looking up just often enough to make sure their bones were all still intact.

Ledger Painting Wins Australian Art Contest

A painting of late actor Heath Ledger has won a prestigious Australian art prize. The portrait, titled Heath and painted by Ledger's friend Vincent Fantauzzo, landed the prestigious People's Choice honor at the Archibald Prize art awards on Friday morning. Ledger sat for the painting just weeks before he died of a drugs overdose in January, and the finished artwork sees the actor bare-chested and surrounded by two other whispering versions of himself. Fantuazzo's painting came second in the race for the main award - with a picture by Del Kathryn Barton taking the coveted Archibald Portrait Prize. The artist turned down all offers to buy the picture - which drew record crowds to the exhibition - giving it instead to Ledger's mother Sally, who decided to donate the canvas to the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Time Capsule (forgive the pun)

I subscribe to the weekly news magazine,Time. Have done so for years, ever since a subscription was given to me as a gift by my then pen-pal in Des Moines, when I was a teenager, in the 1960s.

There's really no excuse why I shouldn't read each week's copy when it arrives. The pace of modern life, however, doesn't necessarily always allow this to happen and I presently have a stack of unread Time magazines on my coffee table.

In an endeavour to reduce the backlog, I was reading the Feb 18 edition over breakfast this morning, when I came across the following poignant reminders of the sad events of last January.

Still battling my way through the pile of unread Time magazines on my coffee table, when I came upon this page in the Feb 25 edition. As well as the beatifically smiling face of Michelle in the snippet about Heath's funeral, Heath also rates a mention in the far-left column, "Talking with Deepak Chopra," who states, "Heath was not a depressive person."

I'm totally with you in your mixed emotions about the Joker, Chrissi.

I'm very fascinated and intrigued by all the Joker images that are emerging; - yet I believe I may end up being very disappointed and actively disliking the role as such. I've never been happy or easy about mass-murdering psychopats presented as general popcorn-munching entertainment.

Nevertheless, until the film is actually here, I'm allowing myself to wallow whole-heartedly in my Joker image fascination.

So here's one more: The mask behind the mask...

I will second that emotion!!! It is heath so I am fascinated and want every last morsel I can get.But he is no longer here,so I can hardly bear to see those morsels.Right now we would normally all be in a frenzy of expectation as the film gets ready to debut.We would be awaiting eagerly,loads of photo shoots and,hanging on soon to his every word in interviews.

Sadly none of that will transpire.So it truly is bittersweet,and we may still have the "imaginarium "release to get through as well.I do not know if I am dreading it all ,or waiting for a few last images of beloved Heath.It is such a cauldron of emotions.Sometimes I even almost hate him for being so careless.As in how could you be so silly,you should be here, about to bask in glory (hopefully) again.
You should be on Ellen,Oprah, GMA etc, fidgeting,shy,that lovely smile,and a whole host of other shows.Never seeming totally at ease with either the interview,or your fame.But even more endearing for being so.
Then I just return to that horrible ache that nothing seems to assuage.
I still think I will give the Dark Knight a miss and the Imaginarium.I feel it may be a step too far too soon for me.But who knows.
I do know that after all this time,I still miss him, and I did not know him.He just brightened up my life.I always thought he was fragile,I just never realised  how fragile.
It is a bit like a brilliant comet that almost blinds us with its,light,glory and sheer magnificance,then right at its peak ,goes,leaving us wondering and gasping in the wake.

My daughter made a book for mothers day at school.It had all mums favourites in it clothes.food, activities etc. Now what do you think she listed under the film category????
She also made me laugh so much(something I don't do much these days). Under the food category she put risotto which is right,but she had added, but it should be beans  because of BBM.
I am now waiting for a call from the school,who will think I have allowed my 10 year old to watch it!!!!!
I haven't but I guess maybe I talk about it a bit. !!!!

Among other things, I got a mug saying "Best mom of the world". And you know what? Perception changes in different situations ;D. I always found such things awfully tacky and corny - but with my own kids all bets are off. My daughter stood there with this mug and I knew and could see it on her face that she meant it from the bottom of her heart. I melted. I LOVE this mug.

Thank you MilAn. I can't get over how much Matilda looks like Heath. In the pics when she looks very serious, as if she is sulking, more then Heath she looks like Ennis.  Afterall she's the 'real' daughter of Alma and Ennis.
If someone told me that that was Heath when he was 2 and a half I just believe them.
Michelle was right when in the few words  she released  to ask the press to be left alone to grieve she described Matilda as her father's spitting image.

Heath Ledger's Estate: Why Daughter Matilda, Who Was Left Nothing in Her Father's Will, Might Have a Claim to Everything
Part One in a Two-Part Series
By JOANNA GROSSMAN and MITCHELL GANS
----
Monday, May. 12, 2008
The death at age 28 of critically acclaimed actor Heath Ledger left Hollywood stunned. His body was found in a Manhattan apartment, surrounded by a number of prescription bottles. The cause of death, according to the report of New York's chief medical examiner, was the combined toxic effect of painkillers, sleeping pills, and anti-anxiety drugs. Before his death, Ledger had been catapulted to fame by his role in the acclaimed film Brokeback Mountain, in which he gave a heartbreaking performance as a rugged, but secretly gay cowboy.

Fame was not the only outgrowth of Ledger's Brokeback Mountain performance. He and co-star Michelle Williams hooked up and became parents of a daughter, Matilda, in 2005. (Ledger and Williams never married and had broken off their relationship before Ledger died.) Ledger thus left behind a young daughter and an estate with potential complications worthy of a law school exam question. In this two-part series, we will examine the proper disposition of Ledger's estate, focusing primarily on one ultimate question: Could Matilda, who was left nothing in Ledger's will, actually inherit everything in the end?

As we lay out in this column, Ledger's entire estate could pass to his daughter even though she was omitted from his Will (probably inadvertently, as it was written prior to her birth). Her right to inherit, if any, will turn on where Ledger was domiciled at his death, which jurisdiction's laws govern his estate, and even whether tabloid reports that Ledger fathered another child many years earlier are true.

Heath Ledger's Will and the Freedom of Testation

On April 12, 2003, Heath Ledger executed a Will in his native Australia. (Though we tend to assume that young people have an insufficient sense of mortality to engage in estate planning, Ledger joins a crowd of celebrities who died tragically and young – but with a Will. Jim Morrison, found dead in a bathtub at 27, had a will. So did John Belushi, Elvis Presley, and John Lennon.)

Ledger's Will puts the bulk of his assets into a trust, the beneficiaries of which are his parents, Kim Ledger and Sally Bell, and his three sisters. The Will makes no provision for his now-two-year-old daughter, Matilda, or her mother, Michelle Williams.

Will Ledger's estate be distributed according to the wishes he expresses in his Will? That turns out to be a question complicated by Matilda, a child born after execution of the Will and not provided for in it. The "freedom of testation" that Ledger and other individuals enjoy is subject to some limits, one of which, in American law, is the right of children not to be accidentally disinherited.

When the Will was first made public, Ledger's father insisted to the press that both Matilda and Michelle would be "taken care of". However, what if Matilda is not taken care of out of the goodness of her grandparents' hearts? Does she have any direct claim to Ledger's estate as a disinherited child?


The Few, but Potentially Important, Rights of a Disinherited Child

Under American law, children have no right to inherit from their parents, but they do have the right not to be disinherited by accident – at least, in most states. At a minimum, most jurisdictions protect children who are born after the execution of a parent's will – so-called "afterborn" children – from unintentional disinheritance. Under omitted child statutes (also called "pretermitted" child statutes), the forgotten child is entitled to some share of the parent's estate on the assumption that the parent simply forgot to amend the will after the child's birth.

Let's assume that New York law applies to the distribution of Ledger's estate, because New York is the place he resided and then died. (The conflict-of-law issues will be considered in detail in Part II of this column.) Under Section 5-3.2 of the New York Estates, Powers and Trusts Law (EPTL), a child born after the execution of a parent's last will is entitled to a portion of the estate as long as she is neither provided for nor mentioned in the will. Matilda was born in 2005, clearly after execution of his will in 2003, and there is no mention in Ledger's will of future children. (In contrast, in Anna Nicole Smith's will, she intentionally disinherited all existing and future children not mentioned, putting her daughter Dannielynn's right to inherit in jeopardy – as discussed in a prior column for this site.).


When Do Children Born Out of Wedlock Inherit from Their Fathers?

Matilda's rights as a disinherited child turn on whether she is considered the "child" of Ledger under New York law. The many magazine photos of the two strolling through the park may cement the social perception of the parent-child relationship, but the legal standard is more technical.

A child born to married parents is considered to be legally the child of both – and, as such, will have full inheritance rights from both parents. However,

New York, like most other states, has different rules for determining legal parenthood of children born out of wedlock. A non-marital child is always considered the legal child of her mother and may thus always inherit from her. Yet such a child may only inherit from her father if steps were taken to establish the legal parent-child relationship, such as an acknowledgment of adjudication of paternity.

In New York, under EPTL § 4-1.2, a man is the legal father of a non-marital child if paternity has been adjudicated by a court; the parents have acknowledged paternity in writing; or paternity has been established by other "clear and convincing" evidence and the father has "openly and notoriously acknowledged" the child as his own.

Here, it seems pretty clear that Ledger's paternity has been adequately established. He is listed as the father on her birth certificate, and he lived with Matilda and Michelle for the first year of Matilda's life. (Plus, all the photos in US Weekly of Ledger pushing her stroller do support the claim of open and notorious acknowledgment.)

Moreover, a recent appellate case in New York rules that a child can get posthumous DNA paternity testing as long as she can show open acknowledgment of paternity. So, one way or the other, Matilda should be able to establish a parent-child relationship with Ledger.


To What Share of a Parent's Estate is an Afterborn Child Entitled?

As an after-born child, what portion of Ledger's estate might Matilda be entitled to? Now, this is where the story gets interesting. Under New York's omitted child law, when a testator has no children living at the time the will is executed, the afterborn child is entitled to the same share she would have taken had the testator died without a will (in legal terms, "intestate"). In other words, the afterborn child is entitled to her "intestate" share of his estate, and the will is revoked to the extent of that share.

The laws of intestate succession determine who succeeds to a decedent's estate and in what proportions when the individual died without a will. These laws tend to first give priority to a decedent's spouse, but then seek to distribute the estate to the closest surviving relatives, with descendants always being preferred to ancestors. As a general matter, for example, parents of a decedent would never take under the rules of intestacy unless the decedent had not a single living descendant.

In this case, New York's intestacy laws lead us to a somewhat striking result: Matilda, who was omitted from her father's will entirely, would be entitled to everything. Why? Under EPTL §4-1.1, when a decedent is survived by no spouse, the decedent's "issue" (a legal term that includes any direct descendant of the deceased such as children and grandchildren) take everything. Ledger was single when he died (he had never been married), so Matilda is next in line.

What about the Will, which was designed to benefit Ledger's parents and sisters? If New York law governs disposition of his estate, his Will would be revoked in its entirety by the pretermitted child law. Ledger's Will, in other words, could be declared valid, but, ultimately, completely revoked by the share due Matilda.

This result is counterintuitive, yet,clearly supported by both statutory and caselaw in New York. In a 2003 ruling of a probate court in New York, Lance Nelson's entire estate was given to his infant daughter under the omitted child law, even though he had executed a valid will leaving everything to his parents. As the court explained in that case: "If Ashley Nelson is determined to be an afterborn child and was unprovided for by any settlement, the Will is revoked to the extent of her intestate share. If she is the only child of the decedent, that intestate share is the entire estate and the entire dispositive provisions of the Will are revoked." If Ledger's Will were probated in New York, and governed by New York law, this exact same analysis would apply, and Matilda would inherit his entire estate.


What Effect Might a Second, Pre-Will Child Have on Matilda's Claim?

After Ledger died, tabloids reported that Ledger might have fathered a child long before he fathered Matilda. There is an as-of-yet-unsubstantiated claim that he fathered a child while still in high school in Australia, with an older woman. If this claim is true, would the existence of that child (claimed to currently be an 11-year-old girl) have any effect on the distribution of Ledger's estate?

That depends largely, at least under New York law, upon whether the criteria for legal parenthood would be met. There is no reason to think, with the current evidence, that Ledger had acknowledged paternity of the Australian child, had a DNA test during his life to determine paternity, or indeed even knew about her. As a result, under New York's § 4-1.2, at least as presently interpreted, the child would be unable to prove paternity.

But what if the Australian girl were nonetheless determined to be Ledger's child? Such a claim might be made either by the girl (through her mother or another representative), by pointing to the law of some other jurisdiction, or by Ledger's parents and sisters, in order to wholly defeat Matilda's rights.

The latter claim is somewhat counterintuitive: As a child born prior to the execution of the Will, the Australian girl is not protected by New York's omitted-child law. So how can her existence, if the law treats her as Ledger's legal child, deprive Matilda of her after-born share?

Here is the logic behind New York's rule: If the testator omitted a child who was already in existence when he wrote his Will (for Ledger, this would be the Australian girl), how can we assume that he would have provided for the after-born child (for Ledger, Matilda)? To the contrary, we might assume that he intentionally had disinherited and would continue to disinherit, any and all children he might have. That assumption might be unfair in a particular case – Ledger may not have know about the Australian girl (if she exists) and that may be the only reason he did not include her in his Will. But the assumption applies in all cases, and cannot be rebutted.

This complex scenario arises, as we have noted, if New York law is applied to Ledger's estate. But that choice of law is not a foregone conclusion. Thus, in Part Two of this two-part series, we will address the question of which jurisdiction's laws apply to his estate. As we will explain, there is a good argument for the application of New York law to Ledger's estate but, perhaps, equally good arguments for the application of either California or Australian law. We will explain how to determine the appropriate law to apply and how the outcomes might differ in each jurisdiction.

You're both right, Sel and Melissa. She couldn't look more like Heath. And I agree Mel, it's sweet and sad at the same time. Makes my heart ache all over again. :'(

and did you notice the red stripes [matilda's shirt]?  I wonder if Michelle thinks about such things when she dresses her, or if it's just regular old coincidence.

A scan of a page from the Tues 13 May 2008 edition of Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper. The photo was taken in New York on Mother's Day. Little Matilda Rose certainly does look like her darling daddy.

Clarissa, thank you for the article on the legal issues surrounding the inheritance. It was an interesting read, proving how something that might seem so immediately intuitively easy and obvious (ie. as in: "Of course Matilda, as Heath's only child, should inherit his estate!!") gets so utterly complex in the face of previous wills, and multiple domiciles, jurisdictions and nationalities involved.

To some not inconsiderable extent it sure was a surreal read!

I can only wonder what Heath would have thought, reading that stuff. He'd probably have freaked out big time.  :-\ I mean, discussion as to whether Matilda is legally his daughter - where inheritance is concerned? The plain unnecessary weirdness of the conclusion for that is striking;
Quote
So, one way or the other, Matilda should be able to establish a parent-child relationship with Ledger.

I'd say! One needs only take one look at her.

Anyway... All that stuff would go away if the family members named in the old will waived their rights, leaving it all to Matilda. Probably with Michelle as "administrator" as long as little M is a minor. I hope they'll do that and leave be.  Surely that must have been what Heath would have wanted. I hope they'll all respect that.

I begin to wonder when does it all end.The law be damned,it is plain logic.He made a will before his daughter was born.Presumably as his death was accidental, he simply had not got round to making a new will.
My husband in the wake of this, suddenly realised that he needed to make a new will as his existing one was over 10 years old.
In it he left everything to his nephews and nieces and nothing to his at the time unborn kids.
He has now rectified that.
So I only hope that the beneficiaries of the current will do the decent,civilized thing,avoid costly,drawn out court battles where only the attorneys line their wallets,and just hand the whole lot over to his daughter,with her mother as trustee.
However these days I am so cynical, I seem to always think the worst until it is proved otherwise.I have pretty much given up on a large sector of society to do the right thing.
Let's hope my cynicism is unwarranted on this occasion.

Hi everyone,

On Heath's birthday this year, the wonderful and lovely RouxB and I went to the beach together in Santa Barbara, California, to express our love for Heath.  Here are some photos of our project.  We tried to remember the names of as many of the Heath Heath Heath thread Heathens as we could.  Any not included was completely due to forgetfulness at the time.  We considered ourselves there for everyone.

Yes, I would certainly think the same thing too.

But, the article that Elle posted about the legal issues, is pretty eye-opening, in seeing that varying inheritance laws define all of this on a somewhat different level than what most people would probably assume Heath's wishes were as an individual and on a human level.  When the laws are explained and spelled out, it's always a little hard (for me) to see how cold some of the language and issues are.  The part about determining who Matilda's parents are.. or any child born to unmarried parents (legally speaking... I mean the whole question of how a father is legally defined vs. how a mother is define) just seems so cold, even if it's pragmatic on some levels.  The whole part about how Heath's "wishes" or "intentions" would be interpreted legally speaking if the older child did exist and was determined to be his daughter is also fascinating and a little scary sounding too.  The inheritance issues in Heath's case definitely show important having a clear and updated will is!  That's for sure.



Anyway... Elle... This is so lovely.  Thanks for posting these pictures.  :-*  And thanks to both you and RouxB for this gesture.

Yes, surely. You're very right. I was steeped in the "legalese" thinking of the article I'd just read.

Hence I thought that instead of legally trying to second-guess how the estate would have been re-distributed in an hypothetical updated will, had it existed, the one thing one can be absolutely, completely and utterly sure of is that Matilda would have been provided for. While Heath's other family by and large consists of grown-up people in suffient charge of their own lives and not in the same way as Matilda needing to be "taken care of". Possibly with the exception of the two younger sisters, I can't recall their ages.

Also, I was influenced by my own country's laws in this area, where the children (be they acknowledged as such or not, as long as they by any means can prove paternity,  by way of DNA or in other ways) inherit minimum 67% of the estate. It is also legally impossible for a parent to disinherit a child. The thinking behind that law is, I suppose, what also caused me to write what I did.


*Sigh*

It's so weird and sad and horrible to even speak of this topic in connection with Heath, who was sparkling with so much energy and so alive and who just had so much going on in life, so many plans and ideas and so much yet to do. It's easy to see why his will hadn't been updated... he didn't think this could ever happen and neither did we.  :'(
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: BelAir on May 14, 2008, 04:50:13 pm
yes, the law is the law is the law, stupid or not.

(I can just picture Heath being all fidgety talking about the law and how it can be obstructive for what one really wants, in some sort of hypothetical scenario.)

law, will, wishes, wants, etc. aside, I shall say that I hope Heath's mother, father, sisters, etc. are fine, as I hope Michelle and Matilda are also fine.  (Hopefully Michelle has all things set for Matilda, etc. in being able to care for her.  At least (hopefully, I suppose) Matilda has the advantage that her surviving parent can hopefully provide for her.

I guess what I am getting at in some circuitous way, is, if you take a step back from the whole scenario, at least Michelle and Matilda [presumably] aren't destitute, no matter what happens with Heath's estate.

Something else I have just realised that I love about him.He didn't have those insane Hollywood bleached whiter than white,mother nature never intended, teeth. O.K so I know that was partly because he smoked,but he still did not go down the Hollywood route.
Not many like him around,or as my mum says,'you don't get many of them to the pound". He really was so unique, just his lovely natural self.

Well you know I recall it vividly,as Heath was himself and jake used a body double. Still don't know why.You can't be shy when you have already filmed a passionate kiss with another man.

I have heard a variety of theories:

1. How high the cliff was, and Jake doesn't like heights.
2. The risk to Jake (but then, why did they let Heath do it?).
3. Jake wasn't on the set. This scene was filmed in the 2 week period when he left to go attend to other business.

Thanks for the pictures, Chrissi, and beautiful rose, Clarissa.

I've also heard theory #1 and 2. For the second theory I've heard that Jake's contract for filming Jarhead didn't allow it due to insurance issues. Then it makes sense why they let Heath do it, but not Jake.

That screencap reminds me of that scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when they realize that to escape their pursuers they have to jump off a huge cliff. Sundance gets all nervous and confesses he can't swim. Butch bursts out laughing and says, "Swim!? Hell, the fall will probably kill ya!"

I bet thats' what happened behind the scenes in BBM. Jake was nervous about doing a nude scene, and Heath said, "Hell, the fall will probably kill ya!"

When I was in high school in Connecticut there was a jumping cliff in my town that hung over a "deep" (or I should say deep-ish) creek.  High school kids were routinely hauled off to the hospital after seriously injuring themselves following jumps into the water.  It was a really, really popular hang-out spot.  But all of those incidents have made me skiddish (or have given me a low startle point) where it comes to the question of jumping off of cliffs into water. 

If it was me, I'd be too afraid that there were hidden rocks under the water (or something like that) that I couldn't see.  I don't think I'd be able to go through with that jump off the cliff depicted in BBM either.

The comment on findingbrokeback.com that goes with his location is 'Always obtain appropriate permission before entering private property. Under no circumstances should one attempt to dive from the cliff or swim at this site without authorization and professional supervision.'

Bet everything was checked before.
But you're right, never jump into unknown water. You should think meanwhile word has gotten around about this. Kerstin's husband is a nurse (do you say male nurse or just nurse when it's a man?) and works in a clinic for accident cases. Year after year, come summer they get people who jumped head first into shallow waters. Makes especially high paralysis. C5, C6 quadriplegia, things like that. :-\ Must be disheartening to see the same thing happen multiple times every summer.

In preview I just see Fabienne's post. Wise advise indeed. Tell your kids!

belbbmfan, wise is your thought:       Under no circumstances should one attempt to dive from the cliff or swim at this site without authorization and professional supervision.'

       
...........
And atz, you too say a good warning: If it was me, I'd be too afraid that there were hidden rocks under the water (or something like that) that I couldn't see.  I don't think I'd be able to go through with that jump off the cliff depicted in BBM either.
......

Any pics of that famous jump of Heathy with another, off that cliff ??

Au revoir,
hugs!

But you're right, never jump into unknown water. You should think meanwhile word has gotten around about this. Kerstin's husband is a nurse (do you say male nurse or just nurse when it's a man?) and works in a clinic for accident cases. Year after year, come summer they get people who jumped head first into shallow waters. Makes especially high paralysis. C5, C6 quadriplegia, things like that. :-\ Must be disheartening to see the same thing happen multiple times every summer.

In preview I just see Fabienne's post. Wise advise indeed. Tell your kids!

Chrissi, my kids never jumped off that cliff of course. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. I think if Heath's mum had been there she'd probably have forbidden him too to jump! LOL

We went rafting on a river nearby and by the end of our trip the water was very calm, and our boat leader started to play some games with the kids that were on board (only if they wanted to join in of course). My kids ended up having to run around on the edge of the boat for 'as long as they could ride it'. They ended up in the water of course and had a great time doing it. It was all very, very safe.
But thanks for your concern. You know how it is with kids.  :)

Thank you L. In German it's Krankenschwester. But only the women, since -schwester means sister. Men are Krankenpfleger, whith -pfleger meaning someone who takes care for someone.
Thus my question. Nurse sounds always female to me, and additionally "nurse" is translated only with the female version in my online dictionary.

The I'm Not There DVD has a tribute to Heath on it.  It sounds like the perfect treatment of a film for its admirers.  Oh James Schamus, you could take a few notes from this...

http://www.joblo.com/dvdclinic/dvd_review.php?id=2087

Disc One:

Audio Commentary by Director/Co-Writer Todd Haynes: Haynes is non-stop in this commentary, offering valuable knowledge on Dylan’s history, the story’s origins, inspirations, character analysis, and much, much more. A few bits are repeated on Disc Two, but not nearly enough to skip this must-listen track.

On-Screen Song Lyrics, a Song Selection, and Sneak Peeks round out Disc One.

Disc Two:

Audition Tapes (4:35): Marcus Carl Franklin’s (Woodie Guthrie) and Ben Winshaw (Arthur Rimbaud)’s are included, intercut with corresponding footage from the film.

Deleted Scenes (2:08): There are two here: ‘Silver Club Bathroom,’ which puts us back into the Factory-esque atmosphere and ‘Mrs. Baker,’ an extra scene with Billy the Kid.

Alternate/Extended Scenes (19:20): All four are for the songs Tombstone Blues, Hattie Carroll, Goin’ to Acapulco, and Pressing On.

Outtakes (4:13) offers a goofy montage of line flubs, animal antics, Todd Haynes, and more.

A Tribute to Heath Ledger (3:15) is a heart-felt video of the late actor on set, backdropped with Dylan’s ‘Tomorrow is a Long Time.’

The Red Carpet Premiere (2:41) gathers Todd Haynes and his cast at the November 13, 2007 premiere in New York City.

Making the Soundtrack (21:03): Music producers John Henry, Lee Ranaldo (of Sonic Youth), director Todd Haynes, actor Marcus Carl Franklin, and others give an inside look at the evolution of the soundtrack. Along with other topics, the men provide insight on the talent involved, updating/choosing the songs, and the rare track ‘I’m Not There,’ which hadn’t been released until last year.

A Conversation with Todd Haynes (42:31): More of a series of conversations, the director sits down to discuss his film, devoting much of the time to dissecting each character. Despite the numerous press junkets covering the same topics (though there’s no overlapping in the featurette), Haynes is enthusiastic throughout, making the 40+ minutes breeze by.

Finally, the Dylanography hosts an interesting NY Times Magazine write-up titled ‘This is Not a Bob Dylan Movie,’ Todd Hayne’s one-page letter to Dylan proposing the idea of I’m Not There (which subsequently led to the film), Discography, Filmography, Bibliography, the Filmmaker’s Notebook (with notes and storyboards), and Still Galleries.

Rounding out Disc Two is a Trailer Gallery, with two theatricals and several unreleased ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’-inspired trailers.

I'm Not There, one of the best films of 2007, is treated to an absolutely magnificent Two-Disc Collector's Edition, with an abundance of features and information to keep an Dylan fan occupied for hours on end. Those who hate Dylan? Rent Dreamgirls, I guess.

I mentioned on the Resurrecting The Movie Thread that the commentary is one of the most intelligent and insightful I've ever listened to.  Todd Haynes gives excellent commentary!  I still haven't checked out Disc 2 so I wasn't aware of the Heath tribute, I don't think it's listed on the packaging.

And you're right, , this release really puts to shame the pathetic treatment BbM received, whether Schamus is the one responsible or not.  Yes, I'm still bitter!  Hopefully Criterion will remedy the situation, but it's rather late since Heath won't be able to participate.    >:(   But maybe by then, (2015 or so?) Jake would take the opportunity to finally make a comment about Heath's death.  ;)

In English, "male nurse" has a slightly pejorative sound to it. By going out of the way to point out that a man is taking a job traditionally held by women, it seems there's a subtle hint that he's less than manly.

Generally, I'm in favor of gender-neutral job titles. Mail carrier vs. mailman, police officer vs. policeman, etc. Sometimes they get kind of awkward, like "chairperson," but so be it. ("Fisherman" is a really tough one -- the only possible substitute I've ever heard is "angler," but that's not a very familiar term.)

When I waited tables in college, it was fashionable to call us "waitrons," which we liked because it was not only gender-neutral but captured the occasionally dehumanizing robotic feeling to the job.  ;D

In UK the regular edition will be released on July, 14th. In Germany August 25th. Norway I have no idea, but (German) Amazon has it already listed for ordering in advance and they also give the information about the release date in the respective country. Try Norwegian Amazon, I bet they have it also listed.

I don't even dare to think when we will be able to get our hands on a two-disk Collectors Edition  :-X. We're green with envy as usual :-\.

Waitron?  I never heard that before, I like it!  I usually hear SERVER, which is desriptive but I remeber when it was first introduced it felt uncomfortable close to SERVANT.

As for CHAIRPERSON, I now hear CHAIR being used more and more.  FISHER is a good alternative to FISHERMNAN but is apparently not favoured by the women who fish.  WIKI also tells me that MIDWIFE works for both sexes and that OMBUDSMAN is being replaced by OMBUDS or OMBUDSPERSON.  Of course ACTOR is now used commonly for all thespians.

Heath Ledger's Estate: Why Daughter Matilda, Who Was Left Nothing in Her Father's Will, Might Have a Claim to Everything
Part Two in a Two-Part Series
By JOANNA GROSSMAN AND MITCHELL GANS
----
Tuesday, May. 13, 2008

As has been widely reported, critically-acclaimed actor Heath Ledger recently died, at age 28, of an accidental drug overdose. He is survived by both of his parents, three sisters, a two-year-old daughter, Matilda, and, potentially, an 11-year-old child whom tabloids have suggested he fathered, with an older woman, while he was still in high school.

Although Ledger's Will bequeathed everything to his parents and sisters, we argued in the first part of this series that his entire estate would pass to Matilda if New York law were applied. However, California or Australian law might, alternatively, apply.



As we will explain, the conflicts-of-law question here is important because it governs where the will should be probated and what law should determine the rights of after-born and non-marital children.

Where Was Heath Ledger Domiciled -- New York, California, or Australia?

Ledger's domicile at the time of death may prove to be critical. As a general matter, wills are usually probated in the jurisdiction in which the decedent was "domiciled" at the time of death. Adults establish domicile through physical presence in a jurisdiction with the intent to remain there. Was Ledger domiciled in New York? We can't be sure without more facts, but there are is at least some evidence to support the claim that he was a New York domiciliary. Ledger told New York Magazine that he and Michelle had "localized" themselves in Brooklyn and there was not "another place on earth" they'd rather be. After they broke up, reports suggest that Ledger shifted from Brooklyn to Manhattan, but also seems to have spent time in Los Angeles, California. He does not seem to have owned a house or apartment in either jurisdiction. There is no dispute that he died in New York, or that Matilda was born and still lives in New York.

Yet California has, instead, been claimed by some to be Ledgers' domicile. Ledger's Will names two people as co-executors of his Will and co-trustees of the trust for his family. They filed a petition in a New York court for temporary/limited administration of his estate, with a notation on the form that the Will would be submitted for probate in Australia. (One reason for filing such a petition would be to enable them to manage any assets located in New York.) The court papers ask for the decedent's "name, domicile, date and place of death, and national citizenship." In that box, the executors appear to have written that that Ledger was a citizen of Australia, but died in Manhattan and was domiciled in Los Angeles, California. (The publicly available copy of the will has some parts of the address redacted.)

Under a test of physical presence plus intent to remain, it would seem that New York or California might be a logical choice for Ledger's domicile. But the executors of Ledger's estate may well ultimately claim he was still domiciled in Australia. His will was executed there and, it appears, he remained an Australian citizen. It may, in other words, be difficult to prove that he had intended to change his domicile from Australia.

What Law Should Control the Rights of Disinherited Family Members?

Ledger's domicile is important to determine what rights his after-born and/or non-marital children have to his estate. Under existing law, the law of the decedent's domicile at the time of death generally controls the rights of afterborn children such as Matilda (who was born after the will was executed and thus is termed by the law "after-born," as we discussed in Part One), at least with respect to personal property (that is, everything but real estate).

For example, in the 1965 New York case, In re Harris' Will, the court applied the New York statute, rather than the law of the decedent's domicile at the time of the Will's execution. The decedent had executed his Will in Ontario, Canada, where he was then domiciled, leaving everything to his wife. The couple then moved to New York, where they had two children. Six years after making the move, he died. The court applied New York's after-born child statute, rather than the contrary law in Ontario. Under the New York law, the children were entitled to share the estate with their mother, despite the express terms of the will, because their father was domiciled in New York at the time of his death.

The court analogized the protection for after-born children to the right-ofelection statute's protection of a surviving spouse against intentional disinheritance, and decided the conflict-of-law question accordingly: Just as the surviving spouse's rights are to be determined by the law of the decedent spouse's domicile at death in the case of personal property, the court held, so too should after-born children's rights be determined by the law of the decedent's domicile at time of death.

This remains New York's approach, but it may not be the best-reasoned one, for the New York court's analogy between protection for after-born children and intentionally disinherited spouses is a weak one. The right of election provides a surviving spouse with a minimum share of the decedent spouse's estate (typically, a one-third share). This right applies even when the decedent spouse expressly and very intentionally disinherits the survivor; indeed, the right is designed to prohibit complete intentional disinheritance of one spouse by the other.

In contrast, the after-born child statute protects against unintentional disinheritance. Children have no substantive right under American law to inherit from their parents. (Louisiana, which provides "forced heirship" for children up to a certain age, is the only exception to this rule.) Any testator can expressly disinherit existing and future children through proper drafting. This distinction between the right-of-election and after-born child statutes might justify a different conflict-of-laws rule.

The applicability of the after-born-child statute might therefore be more appropriately conceptualized as a question of how to interpret the decedent's intent: Should Ledger's silence in his will about after-born children be read as indicating an intent to include or exclude them?

The answer depends on the default rule. If Ledger executed the will in a jurisdiction that provided no protection for after-born children, then his failure to specifically disinherit such children cannot be read as intending that they share in his estate. On the other hand, if he executed the will in a jurisdiction that protected all after-born children not provided for or specifically disinherited, then we can treat their omission as accidental.

The Restatement (2d) of Conflicts, a treatise that many courts view as persuasive, seems to acknowledge that it might defeat the testator's expectations to apply the law of the domicile at the time of death, rather than the law of the domicile at the time of drafting. This is consistent with the notion that, as a general rule, the interpretation of a will bequeathing personal property does not change merely because of a post-execution change in domicile.

What Law Should Control the Legal Status of Parent and Child?

Another conflict-of-law question arises with respect to determining the legal parentage of Matilda and Ledger's alleged older child. As we explained in detail in Part One, Matilda's ability to take Ledger's estate as an omitted child may turn on whether he is her legal father. But her rights may also turn on whether Ledger is the legal father of the Australian girl, because the Australian girl's existence at the time his Will was executed would defeat Matilda's claim, at least under New York law.

What law should determine the girls' respective legal statuses? Choice of law matters here because other jurisdictions may have a more or less rigorous version of New York's non-marital-child statute – imposing a higher or lower standard of proof in terms of establishing paternity.

As a general matter, the law of the place where the child is born determines his/her status for this purpose. Thus, Matilda's status should be determined by New York law, but the alleged earlier child's should probably be determined by Australian law.

What if California or Australian Law Applies? Matilda Still Gets Everything

Ultimately, the choice of law only matters if the outcomes differ. If New York law applies, then the most likely outcome is that Matilda gets everything – for the reasons we set forth in Part One. Ledger would clearly qualify as her legal father, and she would be an entitled to her intestate share under the after-born child statute. And her intestate share would be everything. Whether the Australian girl is treated as Ledger's child – a status that could interfere with Matilda's claim, as we also explained in Part One– would turn, most likely, on Australian law.

What if California law applies, however? The probate petition seems to assert that Ledger was domiciled in California at the time of his death. If that is true, how should his estate be distributed? If Matilda is Ledger's only child, California law calls for the same outcome as New York law. Section 21620 of the California Probate Code protects after-born children in the same way as New York law, by giving an after-born child who is not provided for by a parent's Will her intestate share. And, as in New York, the intestate share Matilda would receive under section 6402 of the California Probate Code, if she is the only living child, is the entire estate.

If the Australian girl is proven to be Ledger's child, however, the outcome under California law will differ from that under New York law. Under California's Sections 21620 and 21621, the existence of a child born before the will is executed who is also disinherited does not necessarily negate the share of an after-born child. But, under these sections, if a living child is omitted from a parent's will under the mistaken belief that the child has died or does not exist, then the living child is entitled to an intestate share as well. If a decedent died intestate with two living children, those children would share the estate equally. The Australian girl's ability to share in the estate, however, would depend on her ability to prove that Ledger was her "natural parent".

What if Ledger is domiciled in Australia? The distribution of his estate might differ drastically than if New York or California law governs. Law in Australia differs by province, so we would first need to know in which province he was domiciled. As a general matter, however, Australian law tends to protect family members in a different way than the law ofAmerican states does.

In at least some Australian provinces, there is a law giving probate courts discretion to provide for needy spouses and dependent children, regardless of what bequests are made in a will or what the rules of intestacy provides. This sort of discretionary support is a concept that does not exist in American law (though, in some states, family members may be entitled to support during the administration of the estate).

Ultimately, Matilda Will Likely Fare Best If New York or California Law Is Applied

It seems fair to assume that whatever Matilda might be entitled to under Australian law, it might well be outstripped by her potential entitlement to the entire estate under New York or California law. Let's hope she has a lawyer advocating for her rights.

Thanks for the second part of the article, Elle :-*. Will read it later. It's too early in the summer morning to read about legal stuff. And to think about inheriting, heirs and the like in connection with Heath :(.


Mikaela, I guess you have to pay a fortune in shipping costs when you order stuff at Amazon UK or US :o.

But your comment made me try it myself (again). A while ago I couldn't order anything from Amazon USA because as soon as you said "Germany" for country, you got a message, saying 'We're sorry, you are not allowed to order at Amazon USA, please order at Amazon Germany' (something along that lines). Which was frustrating, because some items are available in the US, but not in Germany.
Now they changed this, hooray! :D

Me too,talk about spitting image of her daddy.My middle son is like that,he seems to have none of my genes.
It does not help that I watched a you tube video last night made of Heath and Matilda, and set to the song,he had the artist write for her as a lullaby, happy ever after in your arms.
I actually woke up this morning crying.

I just noticed one of the major TV channels here is going to air "The Patriot" tomorrow night. Though I have sworn never to watch a Mel Gibson movie ever again, and I know that the nationalistic over-simplified good guy/bad guy plot of the story will probably drive me bonkers, I am sorely torn.

I bet I'll let principles be principles and will end up watching it. Apart from "Two Hands" it's the only one of Heath's films I haven't seen yet. (Of the ones that have premiered, that is.)

You have been able to slog through "The Order" (which I haven't seen) so frankly, "The Patriot" will be an action packed thriller compared to that. Mel Gibson has to get the girl at the end (naturally, he's the star) but aside from him, it is a fairly entertaining movie.

One caveat though: the big dramatic scene...that never happened in the American Revolution and from what I have read, it has never happened in the US.

Mikaela, why would you not see this movie?  Do you have a way of recording it and just fast-forwarding it through Mel? 

Unfortunately, no. My old video recorder died some time back, and I'm not up to speed on DVD recording yet. So I'll have to watch all of it. If I'm not mistaken from all I've read, Heath isn't in the film all the way through, so maybe I can quit midway or something.

Why I wouldn't watch Mel? Passion of the Christ. Religious torture-porn is the absolute dregs of movie-making where I am concerned. He's not going to get my support in any way for doing that and apparently relishing it so thoroughly. His later actions and attitudes revealed while drunk make me stay away even more. Not that I would have touched "Apocalypto" with a 10-foot barge pole anyway, it contains just that kind of horrifically graphic sadism, cruelty and in-your-face-violence that I find sickening and exploitative and avoid like the very plague. So old Mel is very definitely not my man. (Incidentally, I suppose partly this is a national trait thing. The Norwegian Movie Rating Board was on to something of the same.... You had to be 18 years of age to get in to watch Apocalypto here. In contrast, the age limit for seeing Brokeback on your own was 11, and only 7 if accompagnied by an adult. And the reason given for that 11-year limit was the incidents of violence in the film!)

As for opining on the plot of The Patriot, I really should wait till I've seen it. Perhaps it's better than I think!  :)   But unlike "The Order" I fear this film has one of my triggers for getting really, truly annoyed at a film. You're likely in for my opinion when I've seen it!

Hmmm... how bad can it be? It's got young, handsome Heath. *sigh* Yep, I'm gonna watch it.

I agree with you about those things you said about Mel Gibson, but I won't let his existence deprive me of seeing Heath.  :)

The other day my TiVo recorded The Brothers Grimm.  Now I've already established for myself that I find a lot of that movie unpleasant and I really don't care for it.  Nevertheless, I fast forwarded through it, and stopped and watched every time it seemed like Heath had a a moment in it.  It's no way to watch a movie for the movie's sake, of course.  It's how I've watched The Order and Monster's Ball too.  One does what one must.  ;)

Post by: Mikaela on May 18, 2008, 06:10:37 pm
Oh, I was going to say that Monster's ball is worth watching in entirety for the first 25 minutes or so, but I take it back. Many of the early scenes are totally painful to watch, for the wrong reasons, and pointless to boot, as Heath isn't in them. Nevertheless, I love his Sonny. Poor, poor dear.  :'(



Anyway, The Patriot has been duly watched and here are my impressions: (*spoilers, obviously*)
.
.
.


There's been a climate change since the late 1700's. The entire war of independence (is that its name?) was fought in the most lovely, perfect weather, and mainly in autumn when one could march around in corn fields and shoot at each other.

The film sported a heck of a lot of gorgeous costumes and fantastic scenes and scenery, loads of big battle scenes, plantation vistas, big formal balls and what not. It looked like a thoroughly expensive production.

I was expecting the very worst when it came to smaltzy OTT patriotic pathos, so I was actually somewhat pleasantly surprised. For a good part of the film it wasn't as awful as I'd dreaded. Though the last fight between Jason Isaacs and Heath, and even more so the one with Mel Gibson, exceeded my fears and took forever and a day while the violins were going crazy and the slow-mo was put to excessive use. No surprise in that last scene, sure enough.

Virginia (?) in the 1700's before the Brits made such a mess of it must have been alike to England in King Artur's Day, where a pretty virgin allegedly could ride alone in safety from one end of the country to the other carrying a purse full of gold. How else to account for the pretty young aunt, in her continually bosom-baring frocks, living all alone with just a few little kids for company, though a war was raging in the vicinity and strays from both armies plus other brigands would not be unexpected IMO.

The warfare back in the day, where the armies just marched at each other while gunning each other down, seems stupid beyond belief.

Wow, the British were EVIL!! Now I know why my English friends have rolled their eyes at this film so excessively. The lot of those guys as depicted in the film obviously had been born 150 years too soon, and in the wrong nation - they all belonged with the Waffen SS, far as I could determine. If that church-burning isn't a historic fact, I think it was dreadful to include that scene to make the Brits come across all evil. Mrs. Gabriel could have been killed in lots of other ways that would have been less gruesome and more historically correct.

I think the violence was quite excessive, but that was as expected.

All that out of the way: WHO CARES!?! Heath's role was much bigger than I thought it would be (I was misinformed into beliveing he was the son who gets shot early on). And he looked fantastic throughout.  I don't rightly know about the acting, - in a way the film was so formulaic it didn't give anyone much to surprise or awe us with. But it was so worth watching for all the Heathy goodness anyway!!

Heh, that's my main memory of that movie (other than the Heathy goodness).  I was aghast at how they depicted the British officers.  No wonder Jason Isaacs has gone on to portray numerous other villains, including Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series.  Way over the top.  ::)

My favorite part is when young Gabriel gets wounded or something and is sitting up in bed with his shirt open.  Yeah, I'm really fifteen.  ;D

I watched The Patriot yesterday for the second time, the first time it was on TV therefore it was dubbed in Italian, and no way I want to miss Heath's voice, so I watched it again specifically to hear that.  Heath aside,  I usually make a point of seeing  period/historical films, I think it is just a different way of getting to learn  history, but of course I always find myself wondering how accurate the history portrayed in the film is. So, Shasta, it was interesting to read the link above.
I enjoyed Heath's performance very much.

I think that is a good idea. Most of those kimds have some facts thrown in with some fiction, and when you research the film, you find out about history. Same with historical fiction books for kids (and adults).

Agreed,also with a very poor grasp of grammar.Not only is he an idiot (I.M.H.O.) but the piece is remarkably difficult to read.Then in a final,horrible twist he comments on all the films Harrison would not have made, had he died at Heaths' age.
We all know that Heath almost certainly, had many great roles left to play. I for one, do not need reminding.Reading tht piece, has just confirmed to me,that I would be well advised to stay away from any mention of T.D.K. or the movies for a good while.

I tend to agree, also because he keeps calling the upcoming film "The Dark Night". Only once does he manage to write "Knight".

I do also find it overly callous to compare causes of death and which one is the "best" when it comes to myth-building. Seems you're not really sucessful unless you also manage to die right.  :( :-\ ::)

Nevertheless, the final paragraph gave me pause, sure enogh, and is a sad cause for contemplation:

Quote
To put it all in proper comparative perspective, if Ford had died at the same age as Ledger did, he would never have starred in American Graffiti, Star Wars or Raiders.

Don't know about him playing Gabriel, but I agree about Jake's period drama suitability. Judging by the latest biking pics of Jake, I'd say someone should get him a men-in-tights era costume drama role pronto.

I know!!! He shold play Laurence (the main character)  in "Temeraire" when/if they put that on the big screen. The uniforms of the officers back in Napoleon's day didn't leave much to the imagination.  :P Not that such prurient considerations ever enter my mind when thinking of roles for Jake. No. Of course not. I'm merely a history and fantasy buff. So there.  :-X

More about "The Patriot"

(http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/patriot/ledgerASgabriel.jpg)

This image bears repeating. Thank you, Paul.  :)

I loved the costumes and the *look* in this role.

And thank you so much, Shasta for the link to the historical facts side.  :)

I have looked at it some, and shall have to read more. It's interesting, and it also confirms that the British weren't quite as villainous and the Americans not quite as heroic as the film would have it seem, - but on the other hand, what movie of this type doesn't (over)simplify and leave ambiguities out in order to draw a clearer and more readily accessible picture?

One thing I left out of my bullet-point review yesterday that I *have* to mention: The Patriot reminded me of what an excellent rider Heath was. There were a couple of scenes where he was riding hell-for-leather, and in those gorgeous costumes too - and what a sight!! No wonder so many of his roles had him on horseback a lot. Many actors couldn't have done that with such ease and grace and screen presence.

If Jake auditioned for Gabriel Martin, perhaps their respective riding abilities were one element that tipped the scales in his disfavour? I remember Jake talking in one Brokeback feature of being really nervous about having to learn to ride and to have to be seen on horseback so much in the Jack Twist role, and especially being daunted because Heath already was such an outstanding rider...

As a Brit. in the states, it was getting a little warm in this seat!!!!!
Much in the same way I love the celebrations on July 4th, it seems strange watching the beach fireworks as a Brit.
Also it is interesting to hear some of the versions of certain historical events, my kids are being taught,as opposed to what I was taught at school.
I guess the truth lies somewhere in between.

I forgot another good reason to watch "The Patriot."  Heath was around 18 in that movie.  It's like getting a glimpse of the freshness and vulnerability of the Ennis del Mar of the summer of '63.

Regarding the use of "gay" to describe The Joker, I'll give the writer the benefit of the doubt and assume he meant "gay" in its original sense, as in "carefree and upbeat."  The guy does seem cheery.  ;)

Oh, I never for a moment thought they were... that kind of villains, I mean. Although of course, in war, any war, especially as that war progresses and intensifies, there's not much room for humanity or dignity or restraint. And....  well, the film is a Mel Gibsom vehicle. He's the most unsubtle guy since....oh, I don't know, - Attila the Hun? Things are either black or white, no shades of grey.You're with us or against us. You're all good, or all bad. That kind of perspective.  :-\

Although I was a bit uncertain about a certain church burning depicted in the film. I found it nearly incredible that that scene would have been included if it wasn't historical fact. But it was bogus. Turns out (from Shasta's historical site) that in fact, it is based on the worst atrocities of the Nazis towards the end of WW II.  ::)

Do go forth and watch the film!  :) I am almost embarrassed to admit that despite the pathos and OTT bloodshed and improbabilities I did find it entertaining. Not just Heath or the grand costumes and scenery either. It's a rippin' tale. Just don't think it portrays Brits in a kind or truthful light, is all. Especially Colonel Malfoy, he's a real devil, he is. Until our pal Mel and his not-so-merry men perform the proper exorcism.  ::)

 
And yes, Meryl, you're so right.  :-* Though it's interesting.... in much of the film Heath looks older and more mature than those 18 years. An unusual  occurrence, when actors are normally required to play High School kids till they're passed 25! (Thinking Jake in Day After Tomorrow, for instance...)

Here's a nice thing I thought I'd share. Nice, as in bittersweet, I suppose...

The UK Film Mag Total Film (which I really like) has a section where they interview someone who's relevant for an opening film, by means of lobbing film quotes at them and getting their off-the-cuff response. In the June issue they interview Mackenzie Crook (probably most known to the general filmgoing public as the pirate who keeps losing his eye in "Pirates of the Caribbean"), and this is one of the questions and his answer:

Q: You ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?
A: A quote from the Joker. I partied with the Joker in 2003 while making Brothers Grimm. Heath Ledger was a brilliant and impressive man and the world is a sadder place without him. I wish I'd known him better.

Now there's an idea. But is he as good with accents as Heath was? Somehow I doubt it.
But Iam of course jut a little on the biased side.

Oh, I was going to say that Monster's ball is worth watching in entirety for the first 25 minutes or so, but I take it back. Many of the early scenes are totally painful to watch, for the wrong reasons, and pointless to boot, as Heath isn't in them. Nevertheless, I love his Sonny. Poor, poor dear.  :'(



Anyway, The Patriot has been duly watched and here are my impressions: (*spoilers, obviously*)
.
.
.


There's been a climate change since the late 1700's. The entire war of independence (is that its name?) was fought in the most lovely, perfect weather, and mainly in autumn when one could march around in corn fields and shoot at each other.

The film sported a heck of a lot of gorgeous costumes and fantastic scenes and scenery, loads of big battle scenes, plantation vistas, big formal balls and what not. It looked like a thoroughly expensive production.

I was expecting the very worst when it came to smaltzy OTT patriotic pathos, so I was actually somewhat pleasantly surprised. For a good part of the film it wasn't as awful as I'd dreaded. Though the last fight between Jason Isaacs and Heath, and even more so the one with Mel Gibson, exceeded my fears and took forever and a day while the violins were going crazy and the slow-mo was put to excessive use. No surprise in that last scene, sure enough.

Virginia (?) in the 1700's before the Brits made such a mess of it must have been alike to England in King Artur's Day, where a pretty virgin allegedly could ride alone in safety from one end of the country to the other carrying a purse full of gold. How else to account for the pretty young aunt, in her continually bosom-baring frocks, living all alone with just a few little kids for company, though a war was raging in the vicinity and strays from both armies plus other brigands would not be unexpected IMO.

The warfare back in the day, where the armies just marched at each other while gunning each other down, seems stupid beyond belief.

Wow, the British were EVIL!! Now I know why my English friends have rolled their eyes at this film so excessively. The lot of those guys as depicted in the film obviously had been born 150 years too soon, and in the wrong nation - they all belonged with the Waffen SS, far as I could determine. If that church-burning isn't a historic fact, I think it was dreadful to include that scene to make the Brits come across all evil. Mrs. Gabriel could have been killed in lots of other ways that would have been less gruesome and more historically correct.

I think the violence was quite excessive, but that was as expected.

All that out of the way: WHO CARES!?! Heath's role was much bigger than I thought it would be (I was misinformed into beliveing he was the son who gets shot early on). And he looked fantastic throughout.  I don't rightly know about the acting, - in a way the film was so formulaic it didn't give anyone much to surprise or awe us with. But it was so worth watching for all the Heathy goodness anyway!!


Mikaela, I had such a good chuckle out of your comments.... 

 :)

You're so right about the violence, but yes, so much Heathy goodness...

**has small moment of self-insight**

Or... he could play me when I'm going on about my view of Mel Gibson. :blush:  :-X


About the accents.. I was thinking while watching the film, how strange it was to have the two leads in a film about the American War of Independence both played by two Aussies. Not being a native English speaker myself I was utterly unable to judge how well they spoke the proper accents for the roles, but knowing Heath I'm sure he did so to perfection!

At least the two chief villains were both English actors so they probably had the posh brit accents properly down pat!


Goodness, the pictures of Gabriel/Heath you provide are just utterly lovely, Paul. THANK YOU!!  :-*

This is such a sweet picture.

Strangely - and sadly - in the context of The Patriot, it reminds me of Wilfred Owen's description in the famous and harrowing WWI poem "dulce et decorum est". He's describing the horrors of war as visited upon soldiers that lately were no more than "children, ardent for some desperate glory".  And that's just how Heath looks in that picture - and how he was depicted in the beginning of the film, too....  :-\

Wow, you were having a Patriot party yesterday evening :D Great pictures everyone.

So while you were having a Partiot party, I was having a 10 Things party, all to myself. I saw the movie yesterday evening (for the first time in OV) on DVD. It's really an enjoyable and entertaining movie, I like it for itself, not only for Heath.

Don't know about him playing Gabriel, but I agree about Jake's period drama suitability. Judging by the latest biking pics of Jake, I'd say someone should get him a men-in-tights era costume drama role pronto.

I know!!! He shold play Laurence (the main character)  in "Temeraire" when/if they put that on the big screen. The uniforms of the officers back in Napoleon's day didn't leave much to the imagination.  :P Not that such prurient considerations ever enter my mind when thinking of roles for Jake. No. Of course not. I'm merely a history and fantasy buff. So there.  :-X

Actually, Mel Gibson is American. He was born in Peekskill, NY. His mother was Australian and they moved to New South Wales when he was around 11 or 12 (I think. I can't find an accurate source right this second). His acting career began in Australia and he picked up an Australian accent for the Mad Max movies and Tim, but seemed to lose it pretty quickly when he re-settled in the US and moved his career to Hollywood.

I suspect that at the the time of the American Revolution, all the colonists/revolutionaries/patriots (whatever you want to call them) all spoke English with a decidedly British accent. I doubt that southerners sounded southern and "y'all" probably hadn't been invented.

Off topic, but I think that's an intriguing comment/point.  So when did being southern get invented and when did y'all come about, I wonder.  Oh, how long ago American history class was for me.  I was thinking it probably started in the deep south (which I believe is officially Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama?) and worked it's way north...  

For on topic, I guess the closest "Southern" character Heath played was probably Sonny.  (Where did that movie take place?)  I don't remember thinking anything particular about his accent.  (I really liked Steel Magnolias when I first saw it, but now I can't hardly stand to listen to Julia Roberts and her raging Southern voice.)

Guess what other Australian actors weren't born in Australia?

Nicole Kidman, born in Hawaii, moved to Washington D.C., then to Australia when she was about three. Naomi Watts, born in England, raised in Australia. Russell Crowe, born in New Zealand, lived in Australia since he was a small child. Guy Pearce, born in England (nine years and 364 days after me, BTW), moved to Australia when he was three. Isla Fisher was born in Oman.

Seems like Heath is one of the few big Australian stars who was actually born in Australia.

Well, him and Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Toni Collette, Geoffrey Rush, Abbie Cornish and I'm sure a few others.

Not that there is anything trivial about all those facts. I wish I was back in England, and could go down to the pub tonight, to dazzle and amaze with all my new found knowldege.
Actually I would love to go to a proper English country pub again.I hope our Visa renews soon so We can leave the States for a U.K visit and get back in again.We are landlocked at the moment, which is fine.But of course sods law says, you never want something until you can't have it.I don,t particularly miss England, but it annoys me that I cannot even go for a visit at the moment,of course if I could, I probably wouldn't want to.

You haven't seen it before? Well, if you're on the fence, here's my 2 cents:

I saw it in the theater, long before I became a Heathen, and I was so bored I came about as close to walking out of a movie as I ever do (I've only walked out of two movies in my life, both also out of boredom). And my younger son kept threatening to leave that screen in the multiplex and go see something else in a different one -- this was back when he wasn't nearly old enough to sit in a theater alone.

But keep in mind that I was so pre-Heathen back then that, of the two Bros. Grimm, I preferred Matt Damon! (Sorry *dons hardhat* I know that's a Heathen form of sacrilege.)

I second Katherine's opinion of Brothers Grimm. It gave me a headache with all the visual OTT  theatrics and actors chewing the scenery in every direction. And it was boring, and too long. Though the premise of fairy tales being reality is neat...  BUT Heath still is adorably ditzy in it. And he comes close to kissing Matt Damon, which I wouldn't have minded seeing more of. And there are some cool special effects. So it's not the worst film of Heath's I've seen. (That dubious honour easily goes to 4 feathers, which is in a veritable league of its own IMO.)

I preferred the four feathers to Brothers Grimm, but I am not a big fan of Matt Damon so maybe that's why.Four feathers just seemed like a sort of poor relation of Lawrence of Arabia,now there was a man with amazing eyes as well.

I liked the Four Feathers but I think alot of it was the way Heath looked in the uniform at the beginning!

I read that it got really chopped up in the editing room in the post 9/11 furor. The original version was about an hour longer and I have a feeling the story would have been coherent if we had seen what the director originally wanted us to see.

LOL!  :laugh:

Who cares about the paint drying slo-o-owly and portentuously and mysterio-u-s-l-y-zz-zzzzzz as long as Heath looked the way he did in the Order/the Sin Eather? I could have watched the Sin Eater II, III and IV, easily!

(Actually, I could. It could have been a kind of supernatural Dexter in reverse, if written right. Could have been cool.)

Perhaps I should take the opportunity to ask if someone would like to explain to me what was really going on with Heath's role character (Harry?) when he left the army prior to their being shipped off to fight in... uhm... can't recall, was it Sudan? Anyway, he was sitting there, signalling and emoting angst and a troubled mind like never before or since, and then he asked to leave the army... Was that supposed to mean he actually was "cowardly"? Afraid of going to war? Because I thought he was extremely brave to stand up to his father, risk the disdain of the officers and his fiancee and suffer the ostracism of all his mates... So I figured he had a serious conscientious reason for leaving his post. Like for instance, why on earth go to Sudan and inflict unjust foreign rule on the people there... But I never quite understood what the film was really trying to say about Harry's motivation. (Or anything else).

I have to say I think he was afraid of going into battle.He had joined the army because it was expected of him,presumably never imagining that he would actually be called to bear arms.
He then I think gets an attack of guilt after,the reactions that accompany his decision, so heads off to do his bit, and by now has decided to remain incognito.It is almost one extreme to the other.
Initial lack of courage,followed by utmost courage and the humbleness to not draw any attention to his deeds.Someone mentioned that large sections had been cut I think.So that may explain why it does not flow 100% coherently.

My true confession: I first fell in love with Heath in Four Feathers...

(dreamy fan girl love that is)

I don't care if the plot didn't make sense.  I loved seeing him all suave in his uniform, and then all "I don't want to go to war in a foreign land I know nothing about for a cause I don't understand."  I also loved seeing him all dirty and incognito and "I will save my friends."  I also love listening to Djimon Hinsou.  The one thing I was mad about - him getting back together with the girl in the end.  I think after the epic stuff he went through, he would have realized, "umm, don't need stupid girl."

I'll second that.
I know he wasn't overly keen on being photographed,but I hope there are still some undiscovered gems out there,to keep me going for the forseeable future.

But keep in mind that I was so pre-Heathen back then that, of the two Bros. Grimm, I preferred Matt Damon! (Sorry *dons hardhat* I know that's a Heathen form of sacrilege.)

Another thing we have in common!  :) When I first saw BG I watched it because of Matt Damon (he sure is eye-candy and I liked him in GWH) and didn't pay any attention to the other guy. I didn't even realize it was the same guy as in 10 Things and AKT, which I both hadn't seen then, but had heard of and seen pictures. The only thing I connected with the name Heath Ledger was that "blonde bimbo" image he disliked so much (me too, hell was I surprised by his Ennis).

Me too. I was pleased when I heard they were making a movie of "Brokeback Mountain," which I'd read. Then I heard Heath was going to be in it and thought, "Oh, that's too bad. I wish they'd make a good one."

Good one, Katherine.  He really was  big hats and Marlboros!

I recall a friend of mine, who had seen BBM in a sneak preview in November 2005, say to me that he couldn't believe Heath wasn't American, because of his cowboy accent.

Hate to admit how shallow I am/was, but I loved AKT!!!! He just pushed all the right buttons for me. When I heard he was going to be in BBM, I immediately thought,cowboy hats and jeans, lead on McDuff.!!!
I thought it would just be another visual feast for me.It was also odd having read the s.s first. I could not reconcile the Heath of AKT with Ennis in BBM. I simply remember thinking it would be nice to see his arse in a pair of Levis.
How much more wrong can any one person be. I will never forget my first showing.Not only was I completely wrung out,and still am.I  kept thinking,where the hell did that come from.It was surreal, like finding out your favourite bit of eye candy is a part time brain surgeon.

I first swooned over Heath in The Patriot, but that was quickly followed by A Knight's Tale.  From then on, anything his name was attached to, reason enough to see it.  Fantastic that he turned out to be such a phenomenal actor in addition to being so yummy.  He was the total package ... gorgeous, smart, talented, artistic, personable, etc., etc.  A few days before the unmentionable event in January, I watched Casanova for the first time simply to gaze upon his adorableness.  Missing that boy something fierce today, for some reason.  Driving along saying "oh Heath" to myself.  At least people here understand that it ain't over.



He was pretty cute in Casanova wasn't he.? I actually think that film is under rated.
He really has a gift for subtle comedy too.It wasn't just a costume romp,so much of it is underplayed beautifully by Heath.
The only two I have yet to see now are Candy and I am not sure I am ready for Heath as a drug addict.Oh!!! that is going to hurt.
The other one is The Patriot,but have been advised it has a sad ending so probably not ready for that either.

Heath as Dan in Candy is tough to watch but it is also good because you see all his little Heath mannerisms and that is fun. BBM, Casanova, and Candy were all made within the space of one year and they are interesting to see because Heath is so Heath in all three of them, even though he is playing very different characters (if that makes sense). I'm Not There came after an 18 month break and Heath displays a different type of maturity in that--which I suspect we'll see in TDK and Imaginarium, too.

I've known Heath as an actor since he was a teen in "10 things", i liked him in the film. Of course when i heard about him playing a gay cowboy in BBM i had to watch it. I was impressed by all actors, but fell in love with Jake whom i didn't know before BBM.
When Heath was cast to play the Joker i was sceptical at first, but i really like him in the trailers i've seen so far.
I'm still so sad he is gone, though i'm more of a Jake fan girl, i tought Heath was an interesting guy and i was really looking forward to watch his future performances. :(

I agree. Casanova has been growing on me - it's an endearing, charming, and beautifully shot film. I chuckle fondly and smile at it rather than roaring with laughter. I swoon for Heath in it, and for the fabulous scenes and locations, and for the chemistry between Lena Olin and ...uhm... can't remember his name, how embarrassing. It'll return to me.

But Sienna Miller and the guy who plays her brother were miscast and detract from the film IMO, - a real pity. No chemistry, no sparkle, no kick and fun from either of them.


Thank you for the reply to my question concerning "4 Feathers". I do suppose you're right and the film was actually intended to show that our guy's reason for pulling out of the army was simply being afraid - ie. his friends and fiancee were right in thinking him a coward at the outset. Of course, I OTOH think he was very courageous and intelligent and before his time in doing that, going against the grain, taking the scorn and spite of everyone he cared for rather than going off to be killed needlessly and stupidly in a country his army had no business being in anyway, dying for some obscure and incomprehesible concept of "fatherland, glory and honour" or whatever.  So evidently I got off on the wrong foot with that film and its premise from the outset, and it only got worse as the muddle intensified.

Though I'll agree, Heath looked stunning in that red uniform.  :P

In his show he keeps going on about how he only get little bit parts in films, like without dialogue and just as "random hot dog seller" and that kind of thing - he hasn't mentioned his stint as Lupo in Casanova yet!

No, I hadn't. Prior to BBM I had only seen Heath in AKT (in the movie theater) and really liked him in that, but didn't really have much of a sense of him. I had seen Jake in more stuff--City Slickers, The Day After Tomorrow (on a plane, argh) and that "kids who wanted to be rocket scientists in West Virginia" thing. I was more curious about Ang Lee as a director since I really liked Crouching Tiger. And Anne Hathaway....I knew her from the Princess Diaries movies.

Interestingly, about three days before I saw BBM, I had watched "The Baxter" on pay per view. Michelle Williams is one of the leads and is quite good and that is sort of a fun, quirky indie film. So, when I saw BBM I felt like she was the actress with whom I was most recently familiar.

I think everyone has heard this a million times but I'll repeat myself. I went to Boston to see BBM on 12/27/05 since it wasn't playing in Maine yet. It opened here a week later and I went with my daughter Hannah, but the theater was sold out. So, we ended up seeing Casanova since that was playing and tickets were available. Seeing Heath in that, a week after seeing BBM, then seeing BBM five more times in the theater, really cemented Heath and this talent for me.

At the time I was annoyed that BBM was sold out and we were "forced" to watch Casanova. But now I am profoundly grateful that things worked out the way they did. I probably would not have gone and seen Casanova by choice, but seeing Heath back-to-back in those two movies--and seeing both of them somewhat "unprepared" (although I had been lurking on the IMDb BBM boards prior to seeing BBM) was a really good thing. I am glad I have that in my memory to look back at and reflect on.

L

PS. I would suggest that those of you with Netflix or whatever try to see "The Baxter." It's a fun little movie. Michelle sings.

I rented it after BBM and at the same time, I rented "Monster" (they were next to each other at Blockbuster), another movie I "should have" seen, but didn't. Ai yi yi, what a weekend that was. I "liked" Monster better, although "like" is not the right word since I'll never watch either of them again. They are both powerful, affecting films but I think Monster is better, overall.

PS. Charlize Theron got the Oscar for Monster and what has she done since then...really? Not much. That old Oscar curse. In many ways, it makes me glad Heath "lost out" in 2006 (yes, he was robbed).

i am the EXACT opposite, lol.  i only watched monster b/c i felt it would be some sort of sacrilege as a woman to not watch it.  it was painful though.  monster's ball was not so much a problem for me; i have always been fascinated (?) with all things related to the death penalty.

None of you (who worried about the blonde bimbo to portray Ennis) had seen him in Monster's Ball???
Not this one.
I was  attracted initially to AKT by the music in the trailers.Then it was love at first sight.So I started going backwards with 10 things.At my age I realised that I actually seemed to have a crush on him.It must have been a mid life thing.
BBM piqued my curiosity.
I had read the s.s previously , out of curiosity,I  sort of wanted to see the spin if any put on it.My first husband came out in the 80's so it was less traumatic.
If I am honest, the story had a devastating effect on me,I cried for days.I had seen my husband with his partner.Nothing dire.We had divorced very amicably,and I invited them round for dinner,to celebrate my exam success.It was so odd that the story did to me what real life did not.Possibly because my ex had and still has a happy ending.
I was quite torn then,see Heath,who I did appear to have a crush on,but maybe run the risk of the story being spoiled for me.I know that sounds mad, post BBM, but I have seen a good book ruined by a bad film,
Well how wrong was I. The film surpassed the book,and my crush became a full blown love affair with BBM and Heath.The rest is history.
What is even more ironic, is that I went to see the film,partly to see how gay men were portrayed,because of my ex,to see Heath.and to see how it compared with the s.s .
I came out with wounds, of my own doomed affair, reopened and red raw.The visual impact,did to me what reading the story had not.
I had never even thought of my lost love when reading the book.But the film was so searing it just reopened everything.

It has changed my perception of films for ever. Prior, I would have said I preferred books,as I can use my magination,not so since BBM. The film made it a universal story of doomed love, and lost opportunities. It went beyond the book. The ss was more gay doomed love,for me anyway.
It continues to still hurt like hell. More so with what happened to Heath.

Two of those three actors are no longer with us.   :-\

As to when did I first hear of Heath - weird but true - 10 Things I Hate About You was filmed where my husband went to high school, and where my niece was currently going to high school at the time of filming.  My husband's high school reunion was during that time, and we weren't allowed to tour the school the weekend of the reunion because they were filming some teen movie with some kid named Heath Ledger.  The only person in the whole film that I was familiar with at the time was Larry Miller!!  (Talk about being behind the times.)  My niece was an extra in a couple of crowd scenes filmed outside.

Nope, I hadn't. And I never would have watched it if not for Heath (after BBM). I don't like Billy Bob Thornton and I've never seen any film with him in it that I liked (to be fair, I haven't seen many films with BBT, but the ones I've seen I didn't like).

Yes, BBT is lost on me, too. Then there was the whole ridiculous marriage to Angelina Jolie with the vials of blood. Blech. And people know how I feel about HER! LOL

Her new movie, directed by Clint Eastwood (another director I think is vastly overrated) premiered in Cannes to lukewarm reviews, and apparently AJ is pretty awful. One reviewer said that she is turning into an actress who can only play Angelina Jolie. hahahaha...

The quote from the reviewer made me chuckle.
Thank goodness fro this slight sidetrack on the post.I really thought I was the only one who could not stand BBT.Every time I catch a glimpse of a movie with him in, he plays some really foul character that makes the hairs on my neck stand on end.In person he has pretty much the same effect on me.
There is something vaguely unsavoury about the man,which I can't put my finger on,but he gives me the creeps.It's a bit like art imitating life.
As for Angelina, the only good thing connected to her is Brad Pitt and I am beginning to have my doubts about him,as he has stayed with her so long.

I also felt ridiculous about my crush on Heath at my age ... going on-line to fan sites, hunting down photos.  I could just stare and stare at his face.  But it is what it is.



It's funny really as I managed to keep my crush pretty well under covers, until BBM. Then that was it,anyone who knows me,has some idea of the state of my infatuation with all things BBM and Heath.
Obviously they do not know the full extent as they would a) mainly not get it    b) have me certified.

Interestingly enough, the one person who does realise is my middle son. He keeps asking to watch it with me so that he can share what mummy is so nuts about.
As he is only 11 I figure he may have to wait a little while.
I showed him the trailer on you tube, and he seemed completely unperturbed.He is however the most  kind and completely non judgemental of all my 3 kids.
I also think he will reamin so.

Perhaps when your son is a little older, you will have someone at home you can talk to about BBM.  Same here - I mostly keep my thoughts/feelings about BBM/Heath under wraps, although after a few drinks random thoughts sometimes surface and are out there before I realize it.  BTW, not advocating anything, but I was 11 when I went to my first R rated movie, Saturday Night Fever.  You can guess who I had a huge crush on after that.



I certainly can guess the man in the white suit!!!

I have been considering letting him watch some but not all of BBM .He is a very bright, gentle and non judgemental child. He knows all about Gays both male and female.Our hairdresser is gay,truly a lovely man and my son knows he is gay ,and it's just like, SO??? What's the problem ??
I am so proud of him for his values.Actually I am just proud of him period and his sister. I used to be very proud of the oldest one, now I am just numb.
I think I have reached a place with him where he can not hurt me anymore.I just have to protect the other two.

unfortunately not me Les but his brown eyes will always be popular with me. Today the UPS guy came into my office for my sig and saw one of Heath's pics hanging on my wall. He starting talking about the buzz surrounding TDK and how much he enjoyed Health's movies and what a great actor he is. I was really touched by his comments so shared my tat story-which I don't much do.

Agreed ,that is the smile I love, where he screws one eye up more than the other,it is a sort of lopsided grin.That will always be my image of Heath.
Funnily enough my middle son does it,and it makes me catch my breath.
He has such cute eyes, and as an Optometrist, I sure have seen a lot of eyes in my life.

But hey, do you know what I did with my time yesterday when we had the BetterMost outage? I stored Heath pics on my photobucket album :laugh:

Anyway, back to some Heath goodness :). Let's see if you notice something. What do these three pics have in common?

I really don't like the tone of that article. I mean, 'forlorn', 'a brave face', a fellow actress who puts her arms around her...It's almost as if the journalist writing this is looking for signs of Michelle's imminent breakdown.  :-\

I've seen other pictures of her at Cannes where she looked stunning and smiling. Why didn't they print those?

1) do you think the first two are different shirts or that the skateboard photo was doctored so the red would match the board?  (is it a common thing to be on a shirt in Australia maybe?)

2) Have a great trip Chrissi!  (We will miss you, though!)

1) I don't think it's doctored. He wore the red one in another photoshoot and at some event he attended with Naomi Watts (don't have a pic from the latter at hand, but I saw them a few days ago)

not to be upsetting to anyone, but for me it is easier to say "Heath's death" than to try to say something about him in the past tense...

weird, I know.

(I think it is because I am not entirely convinced that "death" is an ending per se...  but that is another topic for another place...)

Quote from Christian Bale about Heath in the new Details mag:

Quote
He was incredibly intense in his performance but incredibly mellow and laid-back. Certainly there was this great anarchistic streak to it — just getting dirtier than anybody’s envisioned the Joker before. Naturally, (the movie) was something I wanted to share with him — and expected to do so. And I can’t do anything else but hope that it will be an absolutely appropriate celebration of his work.

I'm not liking all this past tense thing.I simply cannot get my head round it at all.In the stages of grief list,I seem to be stuck forever at the disbelief stage.

Same here.  I try to divorce myself from it emotionally and speak about it somewhat blase, but when I let myself feel it, no change from last month or the month before.  I think grieving may always be like that.  Time and emotional distance help, but it never really heals.

I think you have hit the nail on the head there.Time allows you to put more distance between yourself and the event.If you allow yourself to really  "feel" the emotion though, I'm guessing there is no change there between 6 weeks/months/years.
You just permit yourself, less indulgence of those feelings as time passes.These days I have to physically force myself to stop thinking of it.I suppose one day maybe that becomes  an automatic as opposed to conscious response.

I finally saw THE DARK KNIGHT trailer over the weekend - they showed it prior to INDIANA JONES.  It was completely surreal because I kept looking for Heath in the Joker, but I could not see him.  It is likely premature to judge the entire film by the trailer, but maybe this is a case of Heath completely becoming his character to the exclusion of himself.  I am happy in that if it is true, it shows his mastery of his craft, yet I am still saddened I didn't find him there.

Lynne, that's how I felt at first too.  Back many pages on this thread, I wrote I didn't believe it was even his voice, and our fellows had to show me it was.  But after watching both Dark Knight trailers over these last months, a couple dozen times each, I see not just Heath, but other characters he's played too.  It's like they are all in there, but dominated by this new, commanding presence of the most recent role he threw himself into.

Same here, JTwist! July 18 is the opening date -- I hope it's in one of the theaters closeby. I think it will be fantastic. To me, it will be a little surreal watching because it will seem like we still have Heath with us. No telling what other greatness he had in store for us.

Yeah me too. I don't know what my reaction will be when I see the trailer in the cinema. I don't think I'm ready for this. Fortunately in my country there usually isn't much of a hoopla regarding movies like this.

Welcome to Maine Chrissi!

(or something like that)

Here is a trivia question:  When did Heath first acquire THE shoes?  When is the very first time they ever appeared in a photo? 

Sometimes when I see early pics of Heath, I think, "Huh, I bet someone else picked out that outfit," or, "I bet someone posed him," or, "I bet he wouldn't have worn that/posed that way now..."

The new pic for today is a pose he has adopted in many photos, but I can't tell if the shoes are regular type shoes or special Heath-shoes.

Don't know and don't know, but I love the picture and I have never seen it before.I always think,the more sartorially challenged ensembles are Heath chosen,the less eclectic garb is probably chosen for him.Either way I love all things Heath,in fact I think I prefer, the just flung this on, don't care look.It seems more him, to me.Thanks as always for a liitle bit more of Heath.

What I tend to think about is how much happier and more carefree he looks in those early photos. He's almost always smiling, whereas in later ones he's usually not.

But I don't know if that says as much about his actual mood as it does about his declining willingness to pose that way.

I think the latter,considering his all too short career there are a whole lot of photos of him(thank goodness) I would guess latterly he just got fed up with the whole thing.It would me my idea of hell.

Heath Ledger's Scholarship Fund will aid Aussie actors
Australians in Film, the L.A.-based organization for ex-pat Australians in the entertainment industry, has established the Heath Ledger Scholarship Fund, to be given annually to a young Australian-based actor to help them pursue a career in Hollywood.

The scholarship fund in Ledger's name (he was an AIF ambassador before his death in January) has the full support of Ledger's family. Gregor Jordan, a longtime friend of Heath's who directed the young actor in "Ned Kelly" and "Two Hands," will read statements of support from Heath's family at AIF's 4th annual Breakthrough Awards on June 5.

The Breakthrough Awards will be held at the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills. Mira Wasikowska (HBO's "In Treatment") and Abbie Cornish ("Stop Loss"), who starred with Ledger in "Candy" (2006), will receive the awards, Golden Boomerangs, that night.

Ironically, long before AIF was founded, Susie Dobson, AIF president, met Heath Ledger at the Avalon during an Instyle party in 2000.

"Someone told me that there was a young and very, very shy Australian actor sitting on a couch by himself, and they suggested I go over and talk to him and try to make him feel at home," Dobson recalls. "It was Heath Ledger, and he was here to promote his first big U.S. film, 'The Patriot,' with Mel Gibson. He was wearing jeans and a T-shirt and was incredibly sweet, shy and soft-spoken."

Heath was already broken completely through and had become a major movie star by the time the Breakthrough Awards began. But he would definitely have approved of the scholarship and the awards which will be given out on June 5.

“We're so pleased to recognize the efforts and talents of Australia’s newest faces who are already proving they are on their way to join the ranks of the high-profile Australian talent working in Hollywood,” comments Dobson. “We are also thrilled that, through Heath's scholarship, we will be able to assist burgeoning Australian talent launch their careers in the U.S. to become potential future recipients of a Breakthrough Award.”

Back in the early days after Heath left us, a few of us on IMDb were brainstorming something positive we could do, and one of my ideas was an acting scholarship fund for Australian actors.  I am so glad to see it happening even if I had nothing to do with it.  I think Heath would have been pleased.



It's a really positive thing,and not just a fitting tribute to Heath,but a way to ensure he is never forgotten.(not that he would be by me anyway)
I hope each new generation of Australian actors,for years to come,stand back in awe, and are inspired by the genius that was Heath Ledger.O.M.G I have managed to type was.That's a first.

The July "Empire" on TDK

I was in London last week and picked up the July issue of the movie magazine Empire. It's got a double-edition cover (either a close-up of the Joker, or of Batman - guess which one I bought?) And there is a lengthy and good coverage of The Dark Knight inside, not surprisingly. Which also deals with the impact of Heath's passing - though thankfully not at any considerable length, and IMO respectfully.

Now ONTD has put up scans of the article. (BEWARE: Not for dial-up users!)

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/24044647.html#cutid1


I should also mention that the same mag has an article on Terry Gilliam's work to rescue and finalize "Imaginarium" and Heath's performance therein. Well worth reading!

That is one of my favourite Heath looks,circa a knights tale. He is just sooo gorgeous with blond hair.I think it strikes me because it is an unusual combo.blond hair brown eyes.Or maybe because it was before he started to look really weighed down with the fame thing.

Knights tale is back on T.V again today.It has been on a lot recently, and I love it,never get tired of it.I know many people do not rate it,but on a superficial level, I can watch it just to drool.
I actually think it is a clever little comedy and  some people miss the subtlety of Heath's light handed comedy touch.I love the British sarcasm as well.I cannot abide rub your face in it OTT comedy, it does nothing for me AKA jackas and the like.
Heath was to me already showing talent, he can make something funny,just by the raise of an eyebrow,also by the oops, I've done it again look, as in when he realises in his exuberance he has ridden the horse rigt into a cathedral.
I am very biased when it comes to Heath though.I do really think that some people  underestimate his comedic gift.Just because he looks gorgeous in  knights tale,does not mean he cannot act well at the same time.

I also love AKT, as it takes me back to the time I "discovered" Heath.  It thought it was a cute film, overall.  When I like comedy at all, it has to be the subtle kind, not at all slapstick or over the top.  My favorite comedy when I was younger was Monty Python and similar.


Ditto to M.P which is being shown on T.V at the moment in its entirety.

The death of Heath Ledger, her co-star in Brokeback Mountain, was a shocker that touched her deeply. “That was tough,” she says. “I hesitate to talk about Heath. He was special in so many ways. I can tell you that I feel I cared about him more than I actually knew him. It was devastating, and the people who were closest to him should talk about him in their own time.”


Thanks Pete, very thoughtful of you to post this!

Thanks for posting this! I also loved her first tribute to Heath!
I have to say i respect Heath's family even more for paying tribute despite the difficult and sad situation. They probably felt obliged because of the stupid rags who dragged his name through the mud with unconfirmed rumors just to sell mags. >:( They had to even it out i suppose!

That simply reduced me to a sobbing wreck seein in memoriam after Heath's name. That is so very hard to deal with.I WOULD HAVE TOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER. Also surprised by Depps position and not convinced by the number one slot !!!!

Jake is very popular with women and gay men that's why he is mostly very high placed in polls like that.  A link to the poll was posted on the Dave Cullen forum and other Jake or BBM related fansites. That probably contributed to him winning.
While i think Jake's prettier, i'd agree that Heath is sexier and should have been placed higher. But that's how fans voted!

Tht is a really good way of describing it,Jake is prettier, but he hs no sex appeal for me. Heath is not so pretty but just exudes sex appeal from every pore.I think it is something to do with talent as well. I find amazing talent in any form is very very sexy.whether it is an artist, musician, actor, whatever,
That is why I like Johnny Depp, he is almost too perfect looking, but some of his earlier roles were just mesmerising. I also love the fact that he is completely out of the limelight.That is very appealing to me,he is obviously a really devoted father, he stopped filming while his daughter was ill.

I agree, i didn't like Johnny that much when he dated Winona and Kate Moss, but since he hooked up with Vanessa and started his own family i started respecting him as a private person too, not just as an actor. I'm looking forward to see him and Heath in Imaginarium. I hope this time Gilliam's movie will be decent as opposed to some he released lately.

Interesting lineup but there are quite a few names that I'm not even familiar with (Adam Barta, Russell Tovey, Nicholas Gob,  Mitch Hewer, James Sutton, Adam Levine, Ronnie Kroel?). 
Some (mostly meow) comments:

- I'm not sure how T.R. Knight & Matthew Rhys got on there.  They must be PC choices to show that gay men are not completely shallow and obsessed with looks...  ;D

- Is it me or does Chace Crawford (#19) have a really small head.

- Mario Lopez just gives me the creeps.  Does he EVER wear clothes?  His half-naked pics are all over the tabs but I have no idea what he does, lol!

- Patrick Dempsey!?  I just wish he'd develop some sort of personality...He's even blander than Ken-doll Thomas Roberts.


-  Shia Lebouef should sue that photog, lol! (ET phone home)

I have tremendous respect for Johnny Depp as both an actor and a person (as well as we can know anyone from afar).  I was talking strictly about looks.  He is flawless, and I prefer a little imperfection in my men.  Jake has pretty eyes, but no sex appeal for me, whereas Heath is both gorgeous and sexy!  Forgive me for saying so, but I would much rather have played Jake's role in BBM than Heath's.  He did get to kiss Heath, after all.   ;)  In real life, however, I am much more an Ennis, at least at this point in time, although a bit of Jack thrown in for balance.



If Heath was around I would have been happy to play the horse!!! I still cannot believe I have such a crush at my age.It takes me back to when I was 15 and besotted with David Cassidy.Oh dear who would have thought all those years later I would be having a return to teen years.
I can honestly say I am envious of those who had close contact with him,  or even better had the fortune to call him friend. I can't help but think that there was a lot of wisdom to impart, behind those eyes.

I had a fleeting crush on David Cassidy, too! Even more so on Bobby Sherman. Then I switched to Michael Cole, the white guy in The Mod Squad.

I am so old I remember Susan Dey before she became a Partridge, when she was just a regular old supermodel in Seventeen magazine.

OMG, you had a crush on David Cassidy too??  I also liked Sean Cassidy, who is the producer (I think) of Roar.  Those Cassidy boys were delicious!  You know Susan Dey from the Partridge Family had a thing for David Cassidy, her costar, that was unrequited, and I think it really messed her up for a while.

I too wish I had been lucky enough to meet Heath, and not as a fan, but as someone in his life so that I could know him as a person.  Yeah, you can call it a massive crush.  I am equally afflicted!  My husband just rolled his eyes at my desktop background photo tonight.



Massive David Cassidy crush and hate to admit it, but saw him in concert.Kept that one quiet from my "rock" friends.I had his picture all over the inside of my closets,and pink floyd et al on the walls so I did not lose all street cred.I thought Susan Dey was the luckiest female alive,just goes to show you,apperances can be deceptive.

Was Heath ever signed up for it? I am not sure. I know Russell Crowe originally had the Hugh Jackman role and left over "creative differences."

I have been posting news articles, pictures, and other stuff about Australia on the Hugh, Hugh, Hugh thread. I am excited about this movie, I hope it is good.

Elle, thanks for the words to the wise.  I don't think a half dozen off-topic posts need to be broken off, unless someone does want to start a Bowie/Bolan thread.  There already is a thread for teenage crushes.  Just the reminder to stay on topic should suffice, methinks.  :-*

I started this thread so I feel a slight pride of ownership--and also feel like I can offer my 2 cents. Overall, I think things are okay. Elle, I understand your concern but I think we have been amazingly good at self-correcting on this thread. And (and it really pains me to write this, but I must), in this post-Heath era, we all realize that it won't be just posting pics of Heath here and there, interviews of his latest movie, etc. So I think we are defining what form our Heath discussions and picture postings will take as we move forward beyond grieving. Yes, discussions may seem "off topic" but it may just be the organic role that Heath plays in our minds, thoughts, and hearts, and we need to bring that out on this thread.

I am torn between not wanting to see or hear anything about it and wanting to know everything. I don't think they would be so stupid as to give it a poor write up, in view ofall the positive feedback so far.
My problem is I am not sure if I want him to get a posthumous Oscar or not,(which has been rumoured) after the BBM fiasco. He should have got the AA while he was still here, to know what high regard he was held in.
I am just so at odds period.Even the press junkets are going to be horrible without him, sitting there fidgeting etc. I still have problems processing it all

I would be really surprised if there is a posthumous Oscar.  Batman is not the type of film that usually wins Oscars, or is even nominated.  I have to admit, if it weren't for Heath, I would be waiting for DVD or TV broadcast of the movie as I did with the other Batman films.  As it is, I am worried about my reaction in the theater, but think I will feel compelled to go.

I don't think either will be panned, if only out of respect, but maybe that is being too optimistic.

No, I don't think Heath's performance will be panned, for two reasons.

One, I think he'll be really good. Everything we've heard from everyone who had any glimpse of Heath in the role says he is amazing. They were saying that even before he died. And you don't usually hear that if it isn't true.

Second, movie critics are usually a fairly intelligent and sensitive lot, and they all loved Heath in BBM, etc. So even if this performance falls below expectations, they would be tactful about it. They might say something like, "Heath's performance isn't as good as some of his previous roles." They wouldn't say, "He sucks." But it's a moot point, because I'm sure he'll be good.

As for the movie itself, it's harder to say. If it isn't as good as everyone is hoping, the critics will say so. But they won't be mean about it, I don't think. All of the people involved in it are well respected; the critics will just say this isn't their best effort, or something of that nature.

On the other hand, I'd be pretty surprised if Heath were to win a posthumous Oscar, or even be nominated.

Mary-Kate Olsen 'Won't Give a Word' About Heath
By Janet Murphy

Originally posted Wednesday June 04, 2008 12:45 PM EDT
 

After nearly five months, Mary-Kate Olsen still refuses to speak about the fact that she was the first person called after Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment.

"I'm not going to comment on that," Olsen, who turns 22 on June 13, tells Elle in its July issue. "I won't give you a word about that in the nicest way possible. Let's move on."

The actress, who said in a statement last January that "Heath was a "friend" and "his death is a tragic loss," also keeps mum about being a celebrity.

"It's not a part of my life. It's a media perception of who I am," she tells the magazine. "It's very weird. I mean, if I see a paparazzi shot of me walking that's in a magazine or something at some event, it's as if I see it from an outsider's point of view. There's like a character, almost, and then there's me."




That's not true, she didn't tell me a thing!!

I don't care 2 figs about ms Olsen, I just wondered if perhaps  other people may suffer from delayed shock.It isnot uncommon.It was a little shred of hope to explain someones lack of statement. I am one of these types who like to on the whole think the best of people and it is hardwith one certain person. I was always a bigger fan of Heath any way.

Now you know there's no escape really.Once a Heathen always one. I can see Heath or BBM everywhere now. I think it is a chronic condition.Not fatal ,but with no known cure, and even if there was I am not sure I would want to be cured.I think the phrase lovesick is pretty apt.

I had the same thought, both about what Abbie Cornish said and about the present tense.  She seems like a lovely person.



I would agree with all that, and she seems quite a talented actress. I finally psyched my self up to watch candy, OMG it was hard.I just sobbed through most of it.I could not watch it on the big screen and instead watched on my laptop with headphones. The scene where the guy overdoses, I just kept thinking of Heath.
I wanted to scream at the screen, In fact I got annoyed cursing and shouting that's going to be you and we are all going to be mourning.You were careless and now we are all suffering.
I know, crazy talk, it just seemed prophetic.I will not watch it again,way too harrowing.I thought maybe I had moved on when I found myself so angry with him,that maybe I had got to the next stage in the grief cycle,but Oh no, back crying again this morning.The only 3 films I can watch of his these days are , 10 things, a knights tale and Casanova. Casanova because I know from interviews that he was really happy when he was making it.The other 2 becaue he was just so dam cute in them.

Gyllenhaal Blasts Media's 'Disrespect' After Ledger's Death

Maggie Gyllenhaal has hit out at the media for their reporting tactics after the death of fellow actor Heath Ledger - branding the industry "disrespectful".

The Secretary star blasted journalists for their style of reporting after the tragic death of the Australian actor, insisting she was "shocked" by the way they tackled the sensitive issue.

Gyllenhaal starred opposite Ledger in his final full film, The Dark Knight, in which he stars as Batman's nemesis, The Joker.

And the actress - whose brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, featured alongside Ledger in 2005's Brokeback Mountain - reveals her co-star and friend's untimely death has taken its toll on her.

She tells Britain's Empire magazine, "It's hard to talk about how it's (Ledger's death) affected me personally. It's been really hard for me."

"(And) the media has shocked me with the way that they've been disrespectful in some ways."

Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment in January. Toxicology reports released a month later state he was killed by an accidental overdose of prescribed medication.

I came late to this thread and Bettermost ,after the event, while stumbling around looking for some sort of solace
I had no kids around yesterday, all at o friends' houses,so I started on a marathon session. I have been so down recently about Heath,no idea why,I thought I would saturate myself in him and get it out of my system. (did not work,BTW)
So with a few hours break for sleep I started at page 1of HHH and went right the way through to my first posting here.
A few things struck me in my marathon session, first, I really hope that he knew about this site and how much he was loved and respected.I kept thinking someone must have told him about it and I hope he sneeked the odd peek.
Another thing that struck me was, it was a bit like watching a train wreck in slow motion. It is an odd thing to plough through so many pages in just 3 sittings, but it was also very revealing.
Some of the changes were I am sure just his stuff Hollywood attitude, and I understand that.His taste in attire was unique to say the least, and I loved him all the more for it.
He reminds me of my brother who is a rangy 6ft 3ins and always looks uncomfortable in his clothes and skin,(he also has adhd and used to never  be still)
.
The clothes aspect did not bother me,what did was the ever increasing number of photos where he just looked unwashed.

I do not mean that in any cruel way, I am and always will be a massive fan,there just seemed to have been a point where he stopped being just Heath in another wacky outfit, God love him and became Heath looking ill.
Some of the only really happy, post Michelle split ,pictures, were when he was photographed with his daughter.
I think some of the genius of his acting came from a disturbed soul,he could channel a lot of his restlessness into the roles he played.I also suspect that when he was with Michelle ,she probably managed to keep him more grounded. It seemed that once he was on his own,apart from when filming,he stopped caring, and not in a nonchalant who cares way,but in a, I really don't care way.

Michelle has said that he never slept well, but not sleeping with someone else in the house is a whole lot better than not sleeping in an empty house.
I finished the marathon with a very empty feeling,partly because I know my brother could so easily have gone like that. He is a musician and writer and when he split from his wife,he got very close to the edge.It was very difficult for us to help as he was thousands of miles away.
He finally ended up on Ritalin and now visits his ex wife and daughter for 3 months at a time.
He still has the most bizarre taste in clothes, but he looks well and clean.
I looked at Heath's life unfolding picture after picture , and wished for hindsight in advance.He just loked like my brother used to.It was especially hard as my brother bears more than a passing resemblance to the close cropped Heath.

I remember one Xmas when he was home from Japan,I watched jaw dropping ,as he smoked joint after joint and drank like it was going out of fashion. When I queried the conspicuous consumption, he just said I am so jet lagged and tired I have got to get some sleep. Needless to say he didn't.He was up in a couple of hours pacing and writing.

 As an addendum,my brother is a massive Heath fan, and has ,just like me always seen some of his traits in Heath, one time we were discussing it, he said someone needs to step in and medicate him.He is an accident waiting to happen, do you remember when I was like that?

 Again he was not being cruel, he was concerned.He had tried it all drugs,alcohol etc etc, anything to calm down and escape, or even just get some sleep away from the endless fidgeting and ceaseless motion, of both mind and limbs.  I am not saying that is what Heath did.I just know that at the age of 35 plus when my brother finally went on Ritalin he got some peace.He should have been a famous musician,(long story) but I am so glad he is not,it would have killed him, literally.
This has been a very sobering 24 hours for me.
I truly hope he is at peace now and I hope once I process all this I can start to feel better.
There has always been something niggling away at the back of my mind about Heath, and I know what it is now, he reminds me in so many ways of my brother.
I wish someone had been there for him,in the way they were for my brother.One very sad note is the the guy who finally got my brother sorted out, and was his best friend,died only 3 years after.He did at least live to see my brother happy.

I will always love Heath, and cherish the work he left us. I don't think I will ever get used to the fact that he left too soon.
I am sorry if I have digressed a bit from the HHH thread.I tried to keep it in the spirit of Heath.If you feel it should be elsewhere, please feel free to move it.I shall not be offended.
I think writing it has been partly therapy for me.The last few days have been very hard.
Now I no longer have to worry about my son so much,it has freed up way too much of my mind.

That's true, media behaved disrespectful after his death, that's why I'm grateful to the people who shared some nice words about him at the time. It was a great counterpart to all the nastiness.

Thanks for your post Optom. I must be hard to 'recognize' so much of your brother in Heath and now the tragedy that unfolded last january.

I'm glad your brother is doing okay now. And you too.

:-\  :(

Thankyou so much. It has bothered me for ages that as well as the horrendous grief I felt over January, that there was something else that I could not quite grasp.
The past 24 hours reviewing all  the HHH posts and pics,it clicked.I was watching my brothers decline.It was almost surreal,my brother could not live with his wife and child and yet he could not manage without them.He just became even worse than normal. His wife could not cope with the drinking etc, nor could she manage the middle of the night pacing, writing, playing his instruments.  They split up. Eventually once he settled on the Ritalin they now show every sign of getting back together.His visits get longer and longer.
Now as funny as it seems the grief over Heath has eased a bit, and is replaced by anger, which is slightly easier to bear.My brother was the lucky one,it wasn't even his family who saved him,we were far too far away.It was a really good friend who just would not take no for an answer.As fast as my brother tried to refuse help, he just kept on and on.
Lo and behold, within just 2 weeks on Ritalin,far from it crushing his artistic side,(which he worried about enormously) he could actually concentrate better.His own words,I wish some one had put me on it years ago.
The repayment came when the friend was diagnosed with leukaemia and my brother pretty well lived at the hospital towards the end.Two good friends both far away from home, who supported each other and made enormous differences to each other.
That is what Heath needed, and what annoys me is that he was such a gentle soul in many respects he should naturally have had very loyal friends.I know you can't force someone to get help,but you can have a bloody good try.like my brothers friend did,until the person just gives in, for a quiet life.

My words, I wish some one had been there for Heath, and had cared enough not to take no for an answer. I pray to God none of my kids ever become famous.
My husband took me literally kicking and screaming to the psychiatrist at the beginning of the year.I was not going, no way no how.He just ignored me.As soon as I stopped washing and cleaning that was it.I gave him such a punch as well.I screamed all sorts of abuse at him.He was right, I am back on meds and am so much better.I was very wrong.
The same happened with our older son.The problem is generally the last person to see or admit to a problem is the person themselves.
My whole family have been blessed with people who did not take no for an answer,thank God.I really do mean blessed as well.

I hope Hollywood sit up,take notice and do something in the future.They are quite happy to have their pound of flesh and big checks.Well in my book that comes with a certain responsibility towards the star.The police,army etc, all have people on hand to counsel if things appear to be going wrong.But not so for the stars of the screen.
They have by now, seen enough troubled stars over the years to know when something is not right.How in the name of humanity can they just sit back and appear to ignore it.
People say you can't force someone to get help.Wrong ,you can if you care enough.It might not be easy, it may well be time consuming, and soul destroying, but it can be done.Half my family are testament to that.
I am 100lbs on a good day, my oldest is 160lbs, I can still get him in the car to the psychiatrist.I think it is because when you love someone so much, you get an enormous surge of adrenalin which means you can do the seeming impossible.
O.K rant over,I told you I was now more angry than upset.
I hope Hollywood one day stand up and hold their collective heads in shame.

Fiona, like you I have been going through the HHH thread from page 1, but am only up to page 45, LOL.  You are amazing!  It is certainly difficult at times, and I will look for what you describe as I move farther along.  The photos are oh so wonderful, though, that any sadness is somewhat mitigated.



It starts to become more obvious after sept.07.It is not just that he is sartorially challenged,I love that quirkiness, there is more to it.I know I am not imagining it.I also know that he probably, like my brother could not give a stuff what he wears,but he starts to look unkempt,as well, his hair is not just his loveable bed head, it is dirty and his complexion gets really sallow.
He also seems to loose a lot of weight, but not in a get fit and toned sort of way. Oh well see what you think. If we had hindsight we would all be millionaires with perfect kids and marriages.
I was fine until I started to feel that all was not right with him,then I just became upset all over again.

I know I've said it before but it sure is good to have you back, delivering our daily dose of Heath loveliness.!!! I have finaly learned how to get the pictures I want and then post them,so I may add.Actually I didn't learn, my son showed me,!! However that is a measure of how much better he is, that he would do something like that for me.

Fiona, I agree.  I was seeing it then, and worrying.  There was adorable quirkiness, but there was also haggard lack of self-care.  From around the time of that fashion show where Heath was sitting next to Michael Stipe, he started worrying me.

I completely agree,I am glad it was not just me. I hate hollywood for taking their pound of flesh and being so blind or deliberately not seeing a tragedy unfolding in front of them.
I don't buy the ,well you can't force someone to get help. You can, it may be bloody difficult and they can hate you for doing it.My son and I are classic examples of that.But if you care enough, you ignore the hate and all the rest,knowing that when they are well again,it will all have been worthwhile.
So I just, as I say ,don't buy all that bullshit.
I also don't buy the, well his family and friends were all so far away. My brother was in Japan, miles away from his family,I knew there was something horribly wrong with my brother that Xmas.So I rang the  one good friend , he had in Japan,who did not take no for an answer.He rode roughshod over my brother and just did not let up.The result, a much happier more stable brother, who could never show enough gratitude.
So it just leads me to the conclusion that Heath had not one real true friend in America.Many acquaintances and hangers on, but not a simple, honest friend,If he did, then that friend should hang their head in shame.
I know I sound hard, but I have been in the position with so many.I have done the helping and put up with the hate.I have also been helped and done my share of hurling hatred and abuse at my helper.
I am so angry that no one cared enough to see what was happening and act on it, no matter how difficult.It is so clear that Heath was a gentle soul, who was not equipped to deal with the trappings of fame.Some people actively search it out, not him.

Just the fact that he had to go on yet another press junket within days of his break up with Michelle is heartless.It does not matter whose fault the break up was.It would have been painful either way. But oh no, the movie machine rolls on, no time to have a moment of grief or respite, to mourn the breakdown.
It was from that press junket, that things seemed to slide inexorably towards their tragic conclusion.
Will anyone take blame or feel even an iota of guilt, no.
I know people will say well Heath had some responsibility himself.The answer is, maybe in the early days,but as the problem deepens,it is the nature of the beast that the sufferer is the last to be aware of the problem.
I personally think he gave a massive hint when he talked about his lack of sleep, and not being able to quiet his mind. For such a private person that was one hell of a personal revelation. Unfortunately it seemed to fall on deaf ears.
The hollywood meat market just continues.
Me bitter and twisted, no never !!!!

Sorry Fiona, but here I have to disagree. Respectfully, but pretty much. We've been through this same kind of discussion before, so I'll keep it short.
You, and I, and all of us here have no idea what really went on in Heath's peronal life. I think you're way overinterpreting and projecting here. Heath is not your brother. You may see similarities, but that doesn't mean it's the same. You jump to conclusions from things you interpret from your personal experience.

Please get me right: I don't claim to know better, I just claim that you don't know either.

Away from Heath: that's just not true. You're again projecting from your own experience, you say so yourself. Only a few weeks ago you were pretty desperate about the situation with your son. I'm really and honestly happy that things are finally better for you now and wish you that it may last and that you're really out of the woods. I think you know that already.
But: imagine another family in a similar situation. What if the kid does something really horrible and irreversible before he finally gets the right medication?
Would it be the fault of the family? Would they have failed in your eyes? Even neglected their duties? Bear in mind that they may have tried just as hard as you did, they may just have been not as lucky.

Yes, you are hard. You're judging people, who you don't even know, in a harsh way. I think that's wrong.

You did disagree very tactfully, which made me rethink. I guess I am doing exactly what you say.I am projecting my own experience onto Heath,which is not only wrong, but is totally unfair of me.
I need to stand back sometimes and be more objective. I Could so easily have been the one being judged if my son had managed to ignite himself.Yet as you say I had done all I thought I could.
I have a tendency, to become over emotional and too subjective.I will however back down when I genuinely feel I am wrong. On this occasion I think I probably am.
In fact I am neither right or wrong, the simple answer is I don't know and as such should be more careful, before casting aspersions right left and center.

I also know myself well enough to realise that I am casting around in anger,looking for someone to blame.I used to do that with my son,in fact probably still do to some extent.It must be my fault,I did something wrong when pregnant,I should have gone to the hospital sooner,if I had not been so busy working I wouldhave noticed the lack of movement sooner. I was told to stay off work for a few days until my B.P decreased, but I didn't.The litany of blame goes on,despite every psychiatrist saying it was nothing I did.
I know that , with regards to Heath,I am swinging between such sorrow and anger at the moment,which is ridiculous, for someone I did not know.

I think it is probably a reflection of what has gone on in my personal life recently and the fact that I so nearly lost my own son. It hurts so badly to think what a narrow escape we had and that just makes the Heath thing even worse.But it also makes the near miss with my son worse,if that makes any sense.What if I had left the house with my other son as I usually do when he is erupting.What would I have come home to.So I think it is our near miss cf with Heath that has set me off again.

Maybe it's time to increase my medication as I don't seem to be coping very well.I actually coped better when my son was so bad.Now we have  some relief and  I seem to have gone to pieces.Sometimes the what could have happened is nearly as big a shock as if it had happened.

I apologise unreservedly for writing anything that may have caused offense.It was very wrong of me to judge,particularly when I hate it so much when people who did not know our whole situation here judged me for bad parenting.

So I will stop rambling and just say a big sorry. I just struggle to think of him on his own. Maybe I need to trey and gain some positive perspective on it. !!!

I personally am convinced that he didn't take good care of himself and it seems no one was around to do that for him (and i think he needed someone to do that). Someone who uses 6 different prescription drugs (sleeping pills, anxiety pills and painkillers) couldn't have been in a good place. We'll never know if someone saw his problems and tried to help or just underestimated or ignorted it. It certainly wasn't helpful that his family and childhood friends lived in Australia.
He was a good guy, he loved his daughter and had a promising career ahead of him, this is really tragic and that's why people will continue to ponder about this whole tragic situation.
All, of course,  just my opinion!

Thankyou, I know I can sometimes open mouth, before engaging brain. Hence the apology.
 It is easy to judge,particularly with hindsight.I guess I just simply hate the fact that he is gone.I also hate the fact that TDK is starting soon and there will be no Heath at all the press conferences.
Actually I just hate it all at the moment and I am fed up with pretending I feel fine when I don't, because if I let it all go, my husband would think me an even bigger nutcase that he does already !!!!

I think only fans of Heath can really understand each other. And i think people should feel free to express their feelings about him, because in real life many people don't understand being so emotionally invested in a celebrity. In the end he was a human being who's life ended much too soon and he happend to be some people's favourite actor or an actor some found interesting and wanted to follow.

It's such a cute bike! Look at that tiny handle bar! But he looks great on it, I love seeing Heath on a bike, then I can imagine him cycling through Amsterdam or something.... *sigh*. I still wish it was just a sick joke, that I will find him sitting in a corner in a cafe here in Amsterdam and that he will apologize for all the heartbreak he caused by faking his death. Weird huh?

No, It's not weird, I have had the most bizarre thoughts recently. When I am not  either getting upset or angry, I think what if he faked it all because he hated being followed and all the attention so much.
So I guess that just makes you as nuts as me !!!!
I just think it is another coping mechanism to get through the worst of it. I just keep thinking one day I will wake up and it wont seem so bad anymore,it just seems to be a long time happening.

Jeremy Irons is not dissimilar to Heath, not in looks but in choice of clothing. He used to be all over the British press sporting one  bizarre outfit after another.
I used to be a big fan of his,mainly for his incredible voice,I loved him in the French lieutenants woman. and Brideshead, he also did a fairly risque little film which I can't remember for the life of me. Anyway I digress this is the HHH page.
It is funy that for once someone else makes Heath's outfit look really normal. !!!!

Post by: Mikaela on June 12, 2008, 03:10:01 pm
Jeremy Irons has been great in many films, - though I don't think his role in Casanova was particularlyy outstanding. The role I really remember him in, though, is one where he only used his voice: Scar in Lion King.... now that's a role! Don't know how many times back in the day I played "Be prepared" really loud and sang alound to it with much emoting: "Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!"

Which serves to remind me of how, now that all the big stars seemingly are doing animated roles, that's another thing Heath never will have the possibility to get around to. Maybe he wouldn't have wanted to...but there are other more edgy animated films out there than the cutesy Disney stuff.....so I'm not sure. And he certainly had the voice to act the animated red-and-white-striped socks off anyone and everyone....  :-\

Post by: Fran on June 12, 2008, 04:54:18 pm
Then again, maybe Heath would have taken on a cutesy, Disney-like animated role for Matilda's benefit.

So many things he'll never get a chance to do....  :(

Has anyone seen photos from the Imaginarium ? There are some on ledgers ladies and to my horror,it appears that the character Heath plays is hanging, he has a noose round his neck,then seems to hang.
I simpy had to get right out of there.
I would like to know if anyone knows more about this film.If what I saw is accurate, then there is no way I will go to see it,even if it does eventually get finished.
I struggled enough with Candy,which reduced me to a blubbering wreck. It seems there are very few Heath films where we get a happy ending.I can only think of AKT, Casanova and 10 things.

I was going to say the same thing. I wasn't a huge Jeremy Irons fan before Lion King (I thought he was a good actor and all, but he just didn't grab me). But he was great in that. And it's one of my all-time favorite animated movies.

There's a thread with various info on Imaginarium, here: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,16605.0.html

That one was started after Heath's passing. I felt sure we had a thread ongoing about it before that, but I can't find it now, so I think maybe the Imaginarium stuff was posted here in Heath Heath Heath back then. And yes, we've certainly had images (or links to images) here of the filming of a scene where Heath's character appear to be hanged - complete with various mystical signs painted on his face, as I recall.

That would have occurred early January, presumably...  :-\

Well, the film is a fable involving magic and alternate worlds and alternate personas and what not, - and in view of the director it is not surprising that some jarring, scary scenes are in the mix. Hopefully despite that the film will ultimately be an uplifting, inspiring and imaginative tale worthy of being Heath's last role.

I sure hope you are right about the Imaginarium being uplifting. This past couple of weeks I have watched ,Monsters ball, The Patriot and Candy. All of which do not have a particularly happy ending for our hero.TDK does no seem to show any signs of being even vaguely uplifting, so I sure could do with seeing him in something less depressing.
It will be a long time before I watch Candy again,that tore my heart to pieces,you can even see bits of Ennis in his character.

It almost seems I am much closer right now, since you seem to be able to read my mind. I was just ruminating about the person with the broom. What might she (I guess it's a woman) have thought when seeing this pic, if she ever saw it?

A heart symbol tragic HEATH LEDGER scribbled on a letter to director TERRY GILLIAM's daughter HOLLY has been turned into a tribute tattoo by the cast and crew of his final film.
Gilliam brought the letter to the set of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus shortly after the Aussie actor died of an accidental overdose in January (08). Ledger was shooting the fantasy film when he passed away.
And Mini-Me Verne Troyer and select castmates decided to get Ledger's heart symbol duplicated and turned into a tattoo.
Troyer, who wears his heart on his right hand, says, "A lot of us went and copied that heart and had it tattooed in remembrance to Heath.
"We had it copied identical to how he scribbled it."
He reveals one of the people who chose to honour Ledger with the tattoo was the recipient of his heartfelt letter, Gilliam's daughter.

Terry Gilliam has two daughters, Amy and Holly.  I'm guessing they're referring to Amy here.  She's listed as a producer on Imaginarium but she had also worked with Heath on The Brothers Grimm, where she was an assistant to her father.

A truly beautiful smile, it is so sad to know we will never see it again.I remember thinking he was one of the few celebs. who actually had a genuine smile which spread from his eyes to his mouth.Nothing fake about it at all.

CheckMATE!

A relaxed and comfortably dressed Heath Ledger, nine years old, beats his opponent, the poor kid in a tie, with his very first move of the game!!  Well done, Heath!  Game, set and match to you...!    :D

:D

Okay, yes.

I may be a little biased for Heath.

And, no.

I know nothing about the game of chess.

But he is the winner, regardless, and he looks adorable.  ;)

Double treats, more Heath goodness. I wonder when I will be ble to look at his picture without a lump in my throat.6/12 nearly and it does not seem any easier. I thought I would be starting to become less upset by it all by now.

I'm still back and forth. My approach of just not thinking about it, not dwelling on it works pretty well. Of course sometimes it comes back and bites you. I can live with that. And from experience I know those times are getting fewer, and the "bites" you get will be less hurtful over time.

Oh God love him, even his waistcoat is buttoned up wrong.Some pics you just want to ravish him, others you want to take him home and mother him.Also love the, well duh, what do I do with this,expression.
I have been realiably informed by my oldest son that the, pockets hanging below the bottom of the jacket, is the latest thing in "well cool" clothing.Something called scene, allegedly.I am afraid it went right over my head.The last time I was in Fashion was when platform shoes were around the first time.
So here I am thinking how quaint Heath's attire usually was, and all the time he was at the forefront of cutting edge fashion. Wonder if he knew that??

I  love it, he has that ,oh great here we go again, another ceremony I don't want to be at !!!! I think Heath has one of the most expressive faces I have ever seen.You can see everything he is thinking from his expression. Jake is a stunning man, but he does not have the range that Heath has.
I love this one as well because he looks so conventional, until you pan down to his feet.There will never be anyone quite like him again.

I guess a more accurate way of me putting it would be, we can see what he wants us to.Whether that particular expression is a true reflection of what he is or was actually feeling, you are right,we will never know.I think I have now seen most of his films and he  looks and sounds so different in them all.
I am sat now watching the day after tomorrow,on T.V  and Jake  looks younger, but still looks like Jake, same with Rendition,he even sounds the same.
I think I am struggling to convey what I feel.
I just think Heath's  face and expression was so chameleon like.
I also loved his eccentricity, formal suit with sandals, or big scuffed boots.Or shorts with formal shoes.Maybe it's the Brit in me, we like our eccentrics.

*TDK review - spoilers as to general opinion on the film and the Joker, if not on specific plot points*









Well, the first actual reviews are in for TDK. Rolling Stone's just went online, and.......

It's a total rave!  Here: http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/movie/16155928/review/21477208/the_dark_knight

Here in this thread I just can't *not* quote a couple of passages:

Quote
I can only speak superlatives of Ledger, who is mad-crazy-blazing brilliant as the Joker. Miles from Jack Nicholson's broadly funny take on the role in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman, Ledger takes the role to the shadows, where even what's comic is hardly a relief.


Quote
The Joker represents the last completed role for Ledger, who died in January at 28 before finishing work on Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. It's typical of Ledger's total commitment to films as diverse as Brokeback Mountain and I'm Not There that he does nothing out of vanity or the need to be liked. If there's a movement to get him the first posthumous Oscar since Peter Finch won for 1976's Network, sign me up. Ledger's Joker has no gray areas — he's all rampaging id.

Quote
No fair giving away the mysteries of The Dark Knight. [  ]  It's enough to see Ledger conjure up the anarchy of the Sex Pistols and A Clockwork Orange as he creates a Joker for the ages. [/b]


~~~~



And this is a bona fide review from someone who actually saw the whole film!! I think it's fair to say this one will live up to the hype, and so will Heath's performance. OMG!

I'm so torn between anticipation, grief for Heath, and trepidation that I can't stomach the film, - if I don't burst, it will be a marvel!!

Mr. Bale:
Quote
Your co-star Heath Ledger, who plays The Joker, died tragically after the fi lm wrapped. Do you mind talking about him?

No, listen, I want to talk about Heath.
When you miss somebody, you want to speak about him. He was a unique character, a very infectious character. He was a good man, and I was glad to have spent time with him. He
was somebody who I’d been seeing on a daily basis for months. It takes a long time to accept that someone’s gone, when all body and mind are telling you that this is somebody you will know for a great deal of time. He was something of a kindred spirit to myself.

It must be difficult.

Much of it has to do with my respect for his daughter, whom he loved so dearly and whom he would talk about so often. For me, that is of
incredible importance. I hope in a small way that The Dark Knight can be a celebration of his work. Not like the hideous circus after he died, which I felt was an invasion of
a private life. This movie is not a personal home video. This is what he did. I hope people will embrace that in the correct fashion.

Very sweet. I like "This is what he did."  In his life, he was a lucky man in that he was able to do what he loved to do. Too bad he didn't get to do it with a little more privacy.

I think if time had gotten to go by, he would have been able to stay out of the limelight more -- like Tom Hanks or Paul Newman. Still celebritites, but with more space.

HEATH LEDGER: The Late Actor Talks Dark Knight

2008 started off with a tragedy in the movie world with the death of Heath Ledger. One of the most promising Hollywood stars of his generation, his death came just a couple of years after his Oscar nomination for Brokeback Mountain. He died part way through filming the Terry Gilliam movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which is being completed by other actors in a tribute to the star. His biggest role to date was as The Joker in the upcoming ‘Batman’ movie The Dark Knight, which he talked about in this interview in 2007 on location in Chicago.

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/Ellemeno_2006/220.jpg)

I just got off a plane. I was picked up at 4am from my house this morning in LA. It’s okay.
 
Are you lucid enough to tell all?
(laughs) You caught me at a good moment.
 
Everyone said that you were fearless taking on this role, is that really true?
I definitely feared it. Anything that fears me, I guess, excites me at the same time and so I don’t know if I was fearless, but I certainly had to put on a brave face and believe that I had something up my sleeve and something that was different.
 
Did you watch any of the Jack Nicholson stuff?
Oh yeah. (laughs) I mean, not after I got the role, but I’ve seen it many times before, I was a huge fan of it and you having seen Chris’s first film, I knew that there’s a big difference between a Chris Nolan film and a Tim Burton film and so therefore there was enough room for a fresh portrayal and so I’ve kind of steered away from what Jack did (laughs) hopefully.
 
In what way?
I don’t know. I’m not at liberty to say.
 
How did you build your character? Did you start with the comic books or the movies or the TV series?
A bit of both. Like I sat around a hotel room in London, for about a month and I just locked myself away and formed a little diary and experimented with voices and I’ll answer your question (laughs), he’s you know I ended up making him within the realm of a psychopath kind of like zero empathy or very little to no conscience towards his acts which is fun because there’s no real limits on their boundaries to what he would say or how he would say something or what he would do. So, yeah that, I don’t know it’s always a very personal process in terms of how you land in your characters shoes, so to speak, It’s a combination of reading all the comic books I could and the script, and then just really closing my eyes and meditating on it. Chris and I very much see eye to eye on how the character should be played, and that was evident from the first kind of meeting we had on the project. We both had identical images in our minds and so I went away, found it, came back.
 
Do we see the man behind The Joker?
I don’t know. (laughs) I really don’t know what to say, I feel like I’ll be assassinated if I tell you something wrong…
 
We know there’s a prologue, but we don’t know exactly what is in that
OK, I’m really not sure what I’m allowed to say (laughs)
 
Again, with that process of getting into The Joker, is the idea that he may have once been a normal person?
Yeah, I think most of the villains in kind of the Chris Nolan style of Batman movies are normal people, once were normal people. I definitely kind of came to my own conclusions to his background and but one thing, and I don’t know whether I’d be putting my foot in my mouth by giving you that, I guess it’s my secret too at this point so I don’t know. This is the first time I’d had to speak about it and no ones really prepped me and (laughs) on what I can say or not.

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/Ellemeno_2006/221.jpg)

How long does it take to put the face on?
An hour and a half kinda thing. It’s pretty quick. They come up with a new technology for the mouthpiece , the scars are made out of silicone, not prosthetic, and so they have three silicon stamps that they put on here, here and here, the whole bottom lip is fake essentially, and they glue it on in here and so yeah, it takes like half an hour to put those on and then twenty minutes, half an hour to paint the face.

Has your daughter seen you as The Joker?
No, no. I think she’s seen like an image of it but…
 
Was she scared?
She just kind of frowned at it you know. (laughs). I don’t think she connected me to it yeah.
 
So does that really help with the character? You got a costume in there as well and the whole feel, look…
Yeah, yeah, it’s definitely the icing on the cake toward all the research that you do prior to shooting. There’s something about the metaphor to work behind a mask and from within a mask always gives you the license to do whatever you want or the freedom, free of feeling like you’re being judged or viewed and so I’m literally wearing a mask now which empowers me twice as much to kind of feel free and feel unrestrained here and it’s pretty exciting
 
How do you get into the mindset of evil?
I think we all have it in us, you know. I don’t know, once again, it’s kind of you know, like for awhile there I was thinking that sometimes I’ll connect some exterior thoughts, I’m kind of eating raw meat and what that does to your mouth and to your eyes and simple little visuals like that that can kind of twist your mind a little bit and it feels evil when it’s not necessarily an evil thought, but it may look and come across as evil. I don’t know, I guess just the rest is trusting like your research and trusting all the definitions of these words, a psychopath and you know, and then just running with it. You know? I don’t know, I’m trying not to give it too much thought at this point and…
 
Nicholson said the first time he saw himself as The Joker he forgot his lines. Was there a moment you looked at your performance and felt a certain way?
I haven’t looked at it yet. I’ve heard it, in the trailer and it kinda creeped me out a little bit but I haven’t seen it yet.
 
Why? Why haven’t you seen it?
I just, I don’t know where I’d see it. We don’t have playback, I don’t want to see playback, and I just, I haven’t seen, I don’t know if you’d, they’ve put together a trailer of some sort for…
 
You never see dailies of the film?
No. I did. I did. I used to. But now I just find it’s a waste of time. (laughs) I’d rather go home, go to sleep (laughs)…it’s too late
 
Is that because you found you were readjusting your performance when you were doing that?
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes. I mean, just out of insecurities I used to do it, and schooling, self tutored.

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/Ellemeno_2006/222.jpg)

How is his physicality? He must be much more physical than the last one? He’s younger etc. And Christian Bale is a very physical actor and very athletic
Christian’s beaten me up a couple of times (laughs) through the film. (laughs) he actually punched me in the jaw at one point!

Yeah?
Yeah, not hard. He’s a total gentleman about it. He kind of tapped me on the shoulder and it’s been physical, but I enjoy that. I get battered and bruised, but I don’t know, I like feeling pain too, it’s kind of acting, in a way.
 
And you found a way to walk etc?
Definitely, I found an interesting kind of posture of sort, which I felt went with his aggressive nature and a walk and it’s hard to describe I guess, it’s a little hunched.
 
Is this a role you had to go to the gym much?
No. (laughs) Thank God, yeah.
 
So that’s good.
Yeah. (laughs)
 
Can you talk about your scenes with Christian. You’re the nemesis you know, the iconic Batman nemesis there must be some electricity?
Well, firstly, it’s an honor to work with Christian. I mean the cast in general is pretty outstanding, I mean, every single one of these people I’ve wanted to work with, and have inspired me at some point and so it’s ridiculous, the cast and my first scene was with Gary Oldman, which was mind blowing. Then after he leaves the interrogation room, Batman arrives (laughs), you know? And suddenly, I realized what movie I was in (laughs) and it’s quite fun actually because you know I was supposed to, you know, nothing really gets under my skin, including Batman, and it’s quite easy, as an actor, because it’s kind of funny, seeing someone dressed up in a bat suit, it was easy to laugh at it but he’s incredibly professional and incredibly focused and you know, one of the loveliest guys I’ve ever worked with and a brilliant actor and, even down to Batman like how serious he takes it, and how he transforms and his voice shifts and aggressive he gets, it’s really inspiring stuff.
 
So the concept is that Batman uses fear, and that Joker has no fear of Batman – it’s that kind of relationship?
Yeah. They can’t really live without each other. It’s that kind of relationship. You know? Like they have no real purpose in life without each other. So they don’t really want each other dead.
 
And how about working with Maggie Gyllenhaal, because obviously you’ve worked with her brother before and did you know her before?
Yeah. Yeah I did. Yeah, that’s been great too. I stuck a knife (laughs) into her and… no, it’s been a lot of fun and you know, she’s also a Brooklynite and so we’ve just been kinda, trading a lot of family stories and yeah, it’s been fun.
 
Could you describe what sets Chris Nolan apart from other directors?
He drinks a lot more tea than I’ve seen another director drink (laughs). That definitely sets him apart. He’s so young, but seems so old and he’s just incredibly mature and organized and relaxed on set, and he’s definitely in his world. He has a wonderful relationship with his DP, Wally, and those two kind of seem to have the entire world mapped out, and we just kind of follow in their path. I couldn’t imagine what it’s like directing a movie this size, but he manages to kind of keep a clear head and he’s super organized, he actually just, surprisingly enough, like as organized as he is, he really just shoots as he goes too, like he makes a lot of it up, as he goes and he’s very flexible in that way.
 
Since he’s also the co-writer is he also involved in any fine-tuning of Joker’s lines…
Me? No, not really. No he was all there, he was all on page. They did a really good job.
 
Everybody says how dark the film is but is there any moment of just kind of twisted fun that The Joker brings to the table?
Yeah, yeah, all the time. There’s nothing consistent about him at all, so he’s not consistently dark or consistently fun, or funny, just going up and down the whole time.
 
You had fun in terms of playing it?
Yeah, it’s the most fun I’ve had, playing a role.
 
This is very different than your character in Brokeback Mountain who is so restrained?
Yeah, absolutely, I’m really surprised Chris knew that I or thought or believed that I had something in me like this and I don’t know how he came to ask me to do it. But yeah it is. It’s definitely the most fun I’ve had and the most freedom I’ve had and the work schedule’s great (laughs), I work two days and have three weeks off (laughs) It’s like that for six months, so went surfing a lot.
 
But you do some work?!
Yeah, yeah, I do. It’s just a long schedule, and there’s a lot of action sequences, so action sequences take three weeks to a month sometimes to shoot.
 
Any injuries or hairy moments?
No but I let Christian, he went and stood up on the Sears Tower himself, they took him right up to the very top and he took his feet right to the edge. And they put him on a thin wire and he just leaned off the tower like this (demonstrating) which I thought was a pretty cool story. There’s been a lot of car chases and there was an Imax camera that got busted up, got jammed between a truck and a car and they just you know, replaced it (laughs), kept on shooting, as you do.
 
Is this the most expensive movie you’ve ever made?
Yeah, definitely.
 
Does that have an influence on your performance? It’s different from Brokeback Mountain?
Yeah, it’s completely different. It doesn’t really change that space of time between action and cut that’s always the same no matter what’s around you, it’s the same place you live in. But yeah it’s a different ballgame, it’s quite amazing, it’s quite jaw dropping, yeah. It’s fun. It’s been a lot of fun watching it.
 
Besides being a masked guy, what does he have? a car? Something special?
The Jokermobile? (laughs) Rollerblades, yeah (laughs), that would be funny. No he doesn’t have a set of wheels - he just steals whatever’s around.
 
He has that image of someone who has that flower that squirts acid, that sort of thing?
No, not a lot of gimmicks.
 
Just you and a knife?
He’s just bloody, yeah.
 
It’s a gory one?
I mean it’s, you know, it’s a PG-13 isn’t it? I think, so not really, you know, I think it suggests more gore, I remember going into this thinking it was PG-13 but I wanted to present an X rated performance, if I could. So it’s kind of what I’ve been going for and the power of suggestion. It is pretty dark, but there’s not a lot of gore.
 
Have you run into Jack Nicholson since you go the part?
I wish. (laughs) I’ve never run into him but I’d like to. Not literally.

Heath is like the shark in Jaws

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/Ellemeno_2006/snf18bizd682_406043a.jpg)

By NADIA MENDOZA
Published: 25 Jun 2008

HEATH LEDGER's portrayal of The Joker is so menacing, he has been likened to the shark in Jaws.
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN, the man behind the lens of The Dark Knight, described his character as a "wild card".

The director said: “He’s like the shark in Jaws.

“The Joker cuts through the film, he’s incredibly important, but he’s not a guy with a backstory. He’s a wild card.”

This is not the first time the tragic actor has been praised for his intense performance.

Co-star CHRISTIAN BALE said: "He was incredibly intense in his performance but incredibly mellow and laid-back.

"Certainly there was a great anarchist streak to it - just getting dirtier than anybody's envisioned The Joker before.

He added: "(Heath had) power because he has no limits - absolutely nothing to lose."

Letterman has seen TDK, and comments on it in the below linked clip.

It's a pretty boring and shallow "review", though very positive -  he doesn't exactly seem to have known much if anything about the film before going in to see it.

But wow! does he have positive things to say about Heath - he basically says Heath Ledger *is* the movie (apart from Batman's motorcycle), and they could just have made a separate film with Batman and his friends and let the Joker rule this one alone... he says that as the film goes by whenever the Joker re-appears, there's just this tremendous "thank goodness!" feeling because Heath's so incredibly good.

This praise of Heath and the Joker starts at 2:25 in the following YouTube clip:




Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Mikaela on June 26, 2008, 12:16:02 pm
Clarissa, thank you so much for the lengthy interview with Heath.  :-*

Very interesting and *very* Heath - they've pretty much written what he said verbatim, it seems - so it's easy to hear him talking.

The only thing that confused me, was that early on he says he hasn't seen anything of the film, hasn't seen himself as the Joker - actually acting him, that is.... and later on he says: ""But yeah it’s a different ballgame, it’s quite amazing, it’s quite jaw dropping, yeah. It’s fun. It’s been a lot of fun watching it."

Hunh?  ???


I see this one interview is (one of the) sources where he says that "it’s the most fun I’ve had, playing a role."

I know around the net there's been a lot of discussion about whether Heath actually had fun with the role or whether the Joker role's requirements and state of mind actually contributed to driving him to a dark place of depression, anxiety and sleeplessness. In my mind, there need not be an either/or about that question. A person can enjoy an activity, task, or job fiercly and completely and therefore gladly spend a lot of time, resources and energy on it - to the point where it becomes severely taxing and draining on mental and physical resources, - and then still keep going while supppressing the stress indicators, because it's all so much fun and so rewarding. I bet that was what happened - Heath enjoyed himself tremendously with the role, but overtaxed his strength and resources while doing so, leading to the troubles that plagued him and probably became more noticable once the role was finished and left a legacy of tension and immense fatigue.... more than just a little recuperation would set right.  :-\
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Mikaela on June 26, 2008, 01:21:43 pm
I am not one for speculating much on this, and the above was the first time I've ever voiced my view on this online. 
In general -  if you are completely drained and have spent all your resources down to the very last drop, it sure takes more than a few weeks to get back to where you were, and to truly "bounce back" - even when spending some relaxing days or weeks back home with the folks. I'm speaking from personal experience here as well as that of people close to  me. So jumping right into the "Imaginarium" filming probably wasn't by any means the best thing for Heath to do, under the circumstances.  :-\ Not that pondering this makes any difference now...

I think it's important to remember that Heath was actually working on Imaginarium when the unthinkable happened, and TDK had already wrapped a while back.  Whatever he experienced while filming TDK, he had probably gotten past it.

These were at the movie theater on June 21st.



Maybe I'm wrong in remembering all the details and timeline, etc.... but, weren't they still in post-production for TDK at the time of Heath's death?  I seem to recall concern about some of the final touch-up recordings especially for vocals that under normal circumstances Heath would be called in to re-record. 

For big, loud movies like this one I know studios often do a lot of post-production audio work to make lines more understandable, expressive, etc.

I know Heath (and everyone) described the Joker as psychopathic and murderous, with no emphathy. But I can't help to feel empathy for this sad looking Joker (and I'm talking only the Joker here, not Heath) in this pic :-\.
Maybe this will change after actually seeing the movie.

I remember that. You're correct. They did have post-production to do and under normal circumstances there would have been some looping of vocals.


Did anyone have a look at that Letterman clip? I found him an annoying mixture of insensitive and clueless. I haven't watched his show for years (it's been replaced by Jon Stewrt's Daily show over here) - and I don't think I'm missing much. Though of course nice that he was so positive about Heath's Joker....


Now that the whole film has evidently been shown to select critics and talk show hosts, we're gonna have a steady stream of reviews in the upcoming weeks, I suppose. I look very much forward to reading them, I find it exciting and heartwrenching all at once, and at the same time I'm still so torn and ambivalent about the whole film... and the Joker character too....

Guys, any Heathen around just needs to go into the TDK thread in the Culture tent and watch the movie review clip that Oilgun has just linked to!

There's so much praise of Heath (and the by now customary "he should get that Oscar nomination" is there, too) that it's nearly incredible. It's very lovely to hear especially in view of the reviewer being open about fearing, going in, that while watching the movie he'd realize Heath was falling well short of all the hype and that he'd have to communicate that as a reviewer. Instead he came out in utter awe, and goes on record to say the Joker's the best on-screen comic book character *ever*. And much more in the same exstatic vein.

The reviewer seems to almost be dreading watching TDK as he does not want to be the one who says, well actually folks Heath wasn't that good.Instead he is in the wonderful position of being able to say, Hey folks Heath was better beyond anything you can imagine!!!!!  He seems shellshocked and left reeling by Heath's performance.Way more than half the review was on Heath.

CHRISTIAN BALE: 'Life Should Never Be Boring'
By Jeanne Wolf
Published: June 29, 2008

Actor Christian Bale is handsome, charming, and deliciously mysterious. Though he’s acted since he was 12—starring in films such as Empire of the Sun, American Psycho, The Prestige, and 3:10 to Yuma—he cherishes his privacy and is known to evade the press. Example: He’s never publicly revealed the true name of his 3-year-old daughter. He and wife Sibi have been married since 2000. Christian’s father, David Bale, an activist and adventurer, married Gloria Steinem the same year but died just three years later.

Bale is about to jump in the Batmobile again in The Dark Knight (out July 18), the follow-up to his hugely successful Batman Begins. And although he remains as guarded as Bruce Wayne, Bale spoke recently with passion about his work and his family.

PARADE: Your co-star Heath Ledger, who plays The Joker, died tragically after the film wrapped. Do you mind talking about him?

Christian Bale: No, listen, I want to talk about Heath. When you miss somebody, you want to speak about him. He was a unique character, a very infectious character. He was a good man, and I was glad to have spent time with him. He was somebody who I’d been seeing on a daily basis for months. It takes a long time to accept that someone’s gone, when all body and mind are telling you that this is somebody you will know for a great deal of time. He was something of a kindred spirit to myself.

PARADE: It must be difficult.

CB: Much of it has to do with my respect for his daughter, whom he loved so dearly and whom he would talk about so often. For me, that is of incredible importance. I hope in a small way that The Dark Knight can be a celebration of his work. Not like the hideous circus after he died, which I felt was an invasion of a private life. This movie is not a personal home video. This is what he did. I hope people will embrace that in the correct fashion.

PARADE: Did you have heroes growing up?

CB: Not traditional idols—certainly not superheroes. I don’t think I was particularly in need of that. I never had any fascination with Superman or Spider-Man or a Batman kind of character. If it happened at all, it was imagined characters that I had invented. My dad was a role model for me. He was a fascinating man. There was intrigue and entertainment growing up with him. He gave me an edict that I still pursue: “Life should never be boring.”

PARADE: Your mother was a circus dancer for a while, and you never lived in one place very long while growing up. How did that shape you?

CB: Life is not stable. There is a great strength that comes from not being shocked or scared by upheavals. I wasn’t always, but I am now grateful for that.

PARADE: As a parent, do you long for your daughter to have more stability or to grow up with that same unexpectedness?

CB: I hope that it will be a choice. Standing on my father’s shoulders, I find my life and work are unpredictable always. When it comes to being a father and my family, I’m absolutely predictable. Through the incredible position I’ve found myself in, I hope that with my daughter there will be a choice of stability or constant adventure.

PARADE: Has being married and becoming a father made you less of a risk-taker?

CB: There’s a very hard line you find in yourself when you become a parent, an absolute belief that cannot be questioned. It’s something that you will kill and die for in a way that you never experienced before.  I’ve always enjoyed the gray in life. This is an area of total black and white. This is something that is unquestionable.

PARADE: How would you describe yourself as a dad? Silly sometimes?

CB: Absolutely. I’m a court jester.  My wife and daughter come with me on location. It’s the most ideal mix. These wonderful distractions actually make me better at what I do.

PARADE: Any thoughts on the future?

CB: I’m accustomed to not having any kind of map for my life. I’d be reaching for an Uzi if I knew what was going to happen every day. If anybody tells me I shouldn’t jump, of course all I want to do is jump and show it can be done.

PARADE: Do you aspire to an easier approach to life?

CB: Eventually, but for now I like the fight. No matter the advice about taking it easy, I don’t want to.

Even back then, in probably one of his earliest interviews, he was plainly fidgety and ill at ease.A situation that never really changed over the years.It is also interesting that even at such a young age, he really analysed his role and tried to get under the skin of the character.He could only have been 17/18. He sure looked cute though.

We've got 3 different threads now that include TDK stuff. I'm getting confused.


But I feel this is mostly Heath-related, so I'm posting it here:

All but one of the written or broadcast TDK reviews I've seen have specifically mentioned an Oscar nomination for the Joker. All bar none rave about Heath's performance.
Although I have next to no respect for the Oscars anymore, not since 2006 - there's  nevertheless stuff I ponder here...


Once Oscar nominations roll around in January, will the fervour already have been forgotten? Won't the role be taken a bit for granted by then? Aren't most (or all) nominated achievements from films that premiere in November/December?

Wonder if some of the sods in the Academy have a tiny bit of bad conscience for not awarding the Oscar(s) in 2006 where they rightly belonged, and will see this as their last opportunity to somehow rectify matters... In other words, I wonder how much, if any, the posthumous award possibility will play a specific part in the nomination and awards process. That is; as opposed to them using the award votes as otherwise done - to curry favours and in quid pro quo games of the business. Awarding the Oscar to someone who will never be able to repay the favour probably will seem a waste to quite a few of the Academy members.  ::) :-\ :(

and;

How long before the review backlash sets in? It's absolutely sure to come, sooner of later someone is going to want to garner attention by going against the "accepted" opinion about Heath's acting as the Joker - and will diss it, or dismiss it....

.......and here we go again!

Kevin Smith has seen TDK and reviews it at hismyspace page. Since that contains lots of unrelated stuff I'm linking to the ONTD quote of his comments instead.

Yes, here's another one who thinks that Oscar nomination should be Heath's.

We've got 3 different threads now that include TDK stuff. I'm getting confused.


But I feel this is mostly Heath-related, so I'm posting it here:



I've been wondering about how we ought to organize this too, Mikaela.  If something is predominantly about Heath, I post it in the Heath Heath Heath thread.  If it's broader about the film, I see some people using the thread in The Culture Tent, which totally makes sense, and some people using the thread in the Heath Remembrance forum, which also makes some sense. 

At BetterMost we try to be flexible about where people choose to post stuff, while at the same time encouraging the location of the post to make some kind of intuitive sense.  I'm very open to hearing people's ideas of how to handle where/how to post TDK stuff.

Well, for now I'm making a sort of compromise - what mostly is general review and info on the film goes into the Culture Tent. What focuses more on Heath's performance goes here.

Therefore, I find it fitting here to quote the section about Heath from the IGN Movies review I just posted a link to over in the Culture Tent:

(minor spoiler included in this)

"Finally, there's Ledger, whose performance I suspect will be the subject of many analyses of all sorts in the weeks and months to come. What he does with The Joker is, quite frankly, nothing short of transcendent. Early in the film he explains the origins of his trademark facial scars, and you worry for a moment that the filmmakers are giving this psychopath some kind of convenient explanation, which, talented though he was, Ledger won't be able to overcome. But by the third time he's explained where they come from – each time telling a different tale – you realize that Ledger was a master of his craft, only in his final years finding roles that truly offered him the chance to explore that mastery. His is the definitive movie Joker, and he owns the role and achieves a level of abject insanity that is terrifying as it is irresistible."

My 2 cents: don't worry about it too much, as long as the post makes some sort of sense wherever it ends up.  (i.e. a TDK movie review post doesn't make sense in the open forum... ;))

I imagine some casual browsers only visit the HHH thread or The Culture Tent depending on where their primary interest lies...  people can cross post/reference the other threads as they see fit.

I read both and am not bothered by seeing the same things twice... to me that is preferable than feeling like I have to visit three different thread to get specific info (e.g. Culture Tent for specific movie stuff, HHH for specific Heath comments, and Remembrance Forum for more emotional/impact posts)...

just my opinion of course, 8)

Wow, you won't guess what just happened. I can't see the video here on BM, I don't even see that there IS a video, I guessed it from the replies. But when I quote Elle's post, I see the code.

I got a page with big red letters in Turkish, more Turkish text and then, in English, the fact that this site (youtube) is banned for Turkey! :o

Daughter Matilda Was Heath's Focus on The Dark Knight Set
By Brenda Rodriguez
Originally posted Monday June 30, 2008 08:25 AM EDT

Heath Ledger's maniacal twist on the Joker in The Dark Knight in no way resembled his true character off set – that of a proud father to his 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, his costars say.

"Because he died people want a dark story [that] he was so obsessed with the character, he was so contaminated by the Joker and he couldn't sleep and all of that stuff," said costar Gary Oldman, who plays Lt. Jim Gordon in the film, adding that wasn't the case.

"In between takes he would sit on the curbside and smoke a cigarette and laugh and talk about his daughter Matilda," added Oldman Sunday at the press day for the film. "I thought he was just a beautiful kid. I thought he was just wonderful. I had a real affection for him.

Ledger, who died in January, gushed about his daughter with actress Michelle Williams to costars on set.

"Heath showed me pictures of [Matilda] ... [he] would come in and say she did this and she did that," recalled Aaron Eckhart, who plays District Attorney Harvey Dent in the sequel out July 18.

But Ledger's other love on set was for his character, the Joker. Eckhart added: "He really created his look. That character — Heath loved so much. He really cared about the Joker."

Director Christopher Nolan said he needed an actor who would be "truly fearless" for the role and Ledger was up for the challenge.

"[For] those who knew him and those who had the privilege of working with him, it's pretty amazing the disparity between the person he was and the monster that he created for us," Nolan said. "To see that being created from this very gentle person is a real testament to his skill as an actor."

from Parade Magazine, Sunday June 29, 2008

Christian Bale: No, listen, I want to talk about Heath. When you miss somebody, you want to speak about him. He was a unique character, a very infectious character. He was a good man, and I was glad to have spent time with him. He was somebody who I’d been seeing on a daily basis for months.

I read this and admit that I couldn't help thinking of Jake Gyllenhaal's continued silence. I still don't understand that.

Of course, CB has no choice but to say something since he's continually being interviewed... But what he says is lovely and shows true class. Even going so far as to call Heath a kindred spirit.

I'm reading all the praise and superlatives and sweet little anecdotes and the awed movie reviews too - and feeling happy, and then I'm realizing we're actually witnessing the making of a movie legend or -myth in real time. Raising him up pedestal-high, not only as an actor but as a human being, where the horrid media circus back in late January/early February was intent on tearing him down and draggin him through the mud. Ultimately, and not too far into the future, the real Heath who had his good character traits and his less admirable ones, like all of us do, will be lost in the mist of the Heath Myth with its canon and conflicting tales and alternate "truths" and occasional "revelations".

I suppose it's unavoidable, and I'd rather have this than have him forgotten, but first and foremost: How I wish it hadn't been, hadn't been him at all!  :-\

I'm sure he probably will - he'll not have much of a choice then. Unless he manages to make it a specific condition of being interviewed that they don't ask about it. But by then, if he says something, it will seem to many to be too little, too late, I would imagine.


Elle, is that a recent cover or is it from back in 2006? I'd guess 2006, given the others on the cover and the image they use of Heath. It's strange now that the Joker is his "icon", and not Ennis anymore.

Except to us.  :'( :-*

Dunno.  I just found it while trying to determine if the fellow freshly posted on the Michelle Michelle Michelle thread is Trevor DiCarlo or Nathan Buckey.  :)  That search was inconclusive, but I did find the mini-Ennis magazine cover.

I say don't worry too much about Heath's icon, I feel sure that Ennis will stand the test of time.  :-*

New Arts Centre to honour Heath Ledger, with some nice comments from Heath's father :-

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=589816


By Warwick Stanley

Heath Ledger is to be given the first monument bearing his name - a $91 million performing arts centre in his hometown of Perth.

The 575-seat Heath Ledger Theatre is being built in Roe Street, Northbridge, just a stone's throw from the Art Gallery of Western Australia and one of the city's largest concert venues, Metropolis.

Naming the centre after the 28-year-old critically acclaimed actor, who died from an accidental prescription drug overdose in January, was bound to be a controversial choice, said WA Premier Alan Carpenter, but in the end he said it was the obvious one.

"The bottom line of this, I think, is that the overwhelming majority of people ... will say it's a good move and it's a great thing that for us here in WA, we have had this opportunity and we are able to pay tribute to Heath Ledger," Mr Carpenter said.

"Heath Ledger was totally dedicated to the craft of being an actor and that's what made him successful.

"He was always supporting young actors in whatever ways he could.

"I think what we're doing is continuing that support for young people who want to make a career in the arts and acting, stage and in film, whatever it happens to be."

Heath's father, Kim Ledger, who was at Tuesday's announcement, said it had come as "a surprise, a pleasant surprise", when he was told several weeks ago of the pending honour for his son.

"He was such a giver to the arts right across the board. I really feel that there's not a lot of things he'd put his name to but he'd put his name to that," Mr Ledger said.

He said it was the first time his son's name has been formally commemorated, although the Australians in Film Institute in the United States had created a Heath Ledger Foundation to help young people further their acting careers.

He said his son had been a generous man who had kept in close touch with his network of friends in Australia.

"I remember Steve Alexander, his agent from CAA (Creative Artists Agency) always felt though that every house Heath had (owned) was a half-way house," Mr Ledger said.

"The last one we sold in Los Angeles a few years ago. We called for the keys to be handed in and there were 30 keys."

Mr Ledger said the screening of Heath's last two films, the Batman movie The Dark Knight and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, would be "bittersweet" for the family, who will travel to New York later this month for the premiere of The Dark Knight.

"It's pretty difficult to kind of grieve as we've been trying to, like any family that has lost a son or a daughter," he said.

"It's just been a little more public and the films make it a little more public as well. It's been a little bit hard, but we've always been extremely proud of his work and that hasn't changed."

And on the possibility of a posthumous Oscar?

"If there was anything he wanted to achieve in life it was to be recognised by his peers at the top of his game," Mr Ledger said.



I really don't understand why it would be a 'controversial' choice, though.

And that last line of Kim Ledger's just hurts a lot...

And 30 keys to Heath's house in LA??  What a loving, caring, trusting friend he was...

Thanks for posting that, it is a lovely article,but the bit about being recognised by his peers is hard to read.If he gets a posthumous Oscar it will be even harder to bear.It makes me cry just to think of it.The one thing he really wanted and then he doesn't get to see it.
I know many of his peers were in awe of his skill.But he was so modest,I wonder if he ever realised what high regard he was held in.I hope so with all my heart.
As you say 30 keys!!!! what a generous spirit.Reminds me of of one of review of TDK where someone, can't remember who, says it is incredible that such a kind ,sensitive,person can create such an evil character. Well I guess that was just the genius of the man.
I so feel for his family having to tryand grieve and watch their son in his last full performance as well.
Hopefully when te grief becomes more bearabble, it will actually be a wonderful reminder for them all ,including Matilda of Heath's immense talent.

I think I have to disagree with you here.  In my opinion, what would be worse would be if Heath's Joker performance is not even nominated for an Academy Award -- we know it has to be a stellar performance from the early reviews -- or if he gets nominated but once again gets passed over because the Academy is biased when it comes to super-hero movies (or whatever crazy reason they manage to come up with).  Of course, he should get an Oscar only if he truly deserves it (which hopefully is the case), not a pity Oscar.

Hey, if you click this link and scroll down to the (currently) second to last post, there's a big pic of Heath with the mouth prostetics for the Joker on, but without the makeup. An interesting image.

And not only that, but the person who's posted it explains that in effect, Heath created the Joker "look" / makeup himself! And I can well believe it - remembering that it was Heath who thought to switch Jack and Ennis's shirts for the final BBM scene. He did get 100% into the mindset of his movie roles and their inward characters and outward expressions)

I keep imagining some random person staying at a hotel in London sometime last year, incidentally walking past the door of the hotel room next to hers just as room service arrives so the door opens as the neighbour receives it. The hotel neighbour; a tall guy wearing caked white makeup and smudged kohl raccoon eyes and a huge crimson smile painted over his mouth and his cheeks. For all the world looking like some demented clown. And then hearing over and over, day by day, variations of some strange, high-pitched maniacal laughter through the wall.

How was that poor (purely imagined) but surely nervous person to know she was not staying next door to a scary lunatic, but witnessing the visual and audio parts of the creation of a cinematic icon?  :laugh:

I would take that bit of premiere news with a grain of salt. Isn't OK magazine a gossip rag - probably of the same ilk who kept coming up with sensationalist "news" back in january, reporting that Jake was in Australia etc. etc.? I think they're making this up. Why would they even know at this stage who, if anyone, is accompanying Maggie, and isn't it far more likely that Peter Sarsgaard willl be there with her?

A new (to me) and long and very pulse-boosting trailer in the link below, with lots&lots of Joker in it, including a couple of clips I don't think I'd seen before. The very last clip is chilling to the umpteenth degree. Well, most of them are. The Joker has such a menancing physical presence, with that slight hunch...

I never thought I'd get to this place, but I'm very exited about TDK and looking forward to it. I'm actually bummed that the film premieres later in Europe than in the US. I'd like to see it right away.

‘Dark Knight’ premiere not a Ledger tributehttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25463577/ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25463577/)

By Courtney Hazlett
The Scoop
updated 10:28 p.m. ET, Mon., June. 30, 2008
 
 
Contrary to some of the buzz surrounding the New York City premiere of “Dark Knight,” the July 14 event will not serve as a tribute to the late Heath Ledger, nor will Michelle Williams be attending. In fact, the attendance of Ledger’s family isn’t certain, according to a rep for Warner Bros.

In terms of who will be there and the intent of the premiere, Williams’ rep Mara Buxbaum said, “There is misinformation all over the place.” One thing is for certain: Williams was never planning on being at the premiere. “(The premiere) was never on her calendar and she’s not in the movie. This isn’t a press event for her,” said Buxbaum. “She’s not going, there is no reason.”

As for Ledger’s family coming in from Australia, a rep for Warner Bros. said, “We cannot confirm that yet. We’re not even sure they’re coming.” But OK! magazine is reporting that Ledger’s “Brokeback Mountain” co-star Jake Gyllenhaal will join his sister Maggie, who play’s Batman’s love interest Rachel Dawes in “Dark Knight.”

Regarding whether the evening will serve as a tribute, the studio would only say, “We’re treating it like a premiere.”

A rep for Warner Bros. also could not confirm the “tribute” at the end of the film, but one insider does say that “Chris Nolan made the decision that as the screen credits roll, there is a tribute to Heath.”

Ledger Theatre Comes Under Fire

Sydney Morning Herald

2 July 2008

The naming of the new performing arts centre after Hollywood star Heath Ledger has split Perth's arts community.

Since yesterday's announcement of the decision by Premier Alan Carpenter the issue has become hot, with many attacking the Perth-born actor's personal life and lack of theatre work as reasons why the Northbridge centre should get a different name.

On 6PR radio this morning, media commentator Andrew Bolt attacked the move as "cheap", saying Mr Carpenter was just "advertising himself".

He questioned whether Ledger was a good role model, and why someone with minimal stage work should be given such an honour.

West Australian Academy of Performing Arts program director Andrew Lewis also criticised the move, saying the WA government had engaged in a cynical marketing exercise.

But WA Screen Academy director John Rapsey said Ledger had been a brilliant actor and he was happy to have him remembered in this way.

"There is some merit in naming the theatre after somebody whose career was built on film acting, from my point of view it's all acting," he said.

"His performance in Brokeback Mountain will be remembered as one of the great screen performances."

Mr Lewis said the naming issue had put some industry noses out of joint.

"People in the industry don't feel that they were consulted," he said.

But he stressed that this did not detract from the fact that Ledger was a great actor.

"I certainly would love to honour Heath because I think he was an extraordinary man and a great talent, one of the best exports that we have ever had," Mr Lewis said.

"And he is well known, which will hopefully bring people to the theatre."

Ledger Theatre a Fitting Tribute

Sydney Morning Herald

1 July 2008

Heath Ledger would have happily put his name to a new WA performing arts centre named in his memory, his father Kim says.

The new building will be called The Heath Ledger Theatre and it will be built in the cultural precinct of Northbridge, in inner city Perth.

Premier Alan Carpenter announced the new building's name in Perth today and said it was a fitting tribute to the WA actor who died in New York in January.

But Mr Carpenter said the move could attract some controversy.

"There is no doubt that it will be controversial, I am absolutely certain it will be controversial but that's the way life is," Mr Carpenter said.

Mr Ledger, welcomed the move and said it was a fitting tribute to his son, who was a great supporter of the arts.

He said some memorabilia of Heath's glittering movie career would be provided for the venue to display.

"We feel that endorsing Heath in this way for both his work and the arts and for the State, is a wonderful honour," he said.

"I think if he was here today, because he was such a giver to the arts right across the board, there's not a lot of things he'd put his name to but I'm absolutely positive he would put his name to that."

Mr Ledger is preparing to fly to New York for an early screening of Ledger's last film, the Batman movie The Dark Knight, ahead of its July 14 premiere.

The Ledgers have already seen the first eight minutes of the film. Mr Ledger said it was a difficult time for his family, who were still grieving.

"It's difficult to try and grieve as we have been trying to, like any family that's lost a son or a daughter, but it's just been a little more public and the film is making it a little more public as well," Mr Ledger said.

"It's a bit hard but we are extremely proud of his work and we always have been."

The Ledgers would spend time with Heath's former partner Michelle Williams and his daughter Matilda during their US visit, Mr Ledger said.

The Heath Ledger Theatre will seat 575 people, include a flexible 200 seat performance studio, rehearsal spaces and an outdoor multi-purpose space. The $91 million project is scheduled for completion in 18 months

Thank you, Kerry. I didn't know of the controversy over the naming of the theatre - it sounds quite small-minded, - but then again entirely human... someone always has objections and opionons and feels the need to air them in public.


Here's an article that's a good summary of the Joker-related reviews so far, the posthumous Oscar discussion, and of other "bad guys" who've previously gotten an Oscar, from CNN. It is an interesting read, but also contains a few entirely insensitive comments from one commenter, just so that's been said as a small warning:

Could Ledger really win an Oscar? http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/02/film.ledger.oscarbuzz.ap/index.html

Here's something quite non-controversial.  :)  It's a bit from last year's Pierre Tremblay interview that betterMostian tamarack did.  It's referring to the fireworks scene:

"Well, it was not windy at all, so initially we thought we were going to be lucky, but then it started to rain. And it rained, and it was wet—so wet. The babies were crying. Poor Heath. We had twin babies, and we kept trying to switch them out, but they were not happy, they did not like the wet and the cold. And they were screaming through the whole scene. I am sure Heath is an excellent father, because any time we had kids around, Heath was great with them. He felt so bad for those babies, he just wanted for them not to have to be there."

You know what else that interview brought back to me?

What an incredibly physically demanding role Ennis was for Heath.

All the riding, of course. Carrying calves around in the "vet scene". Tobogganing at full speed with Michelle, falling out, landing on her and twisting her foot. The hippie rescue with its "real cowboy'ing".  The fourth of July fight, yes - but even more so the Thanksgiving fight -which was very rough and where Heath accidentally broke his opponent's nose!

And the whole reunion scene has a distinctly physical look to it, too...  :P

This clip has a long Joker scene - the one where he crashes the party. Never mind the Swedish gabbing in the beginning - she shuts up soon enough and afterwards it's the Joker, eating Shrimp, and menacing the snobbish masses.

I just totally love it. I'm so sold on the Joker, and I was so sceptical early on. :blush:

A must-see, but obviously spoilerish as it contains a full film scene!

Apparently, that's Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont who is the one who speaks to the Joker at the end.

More from the Pierre Tremblay interview, about the Thanksgiving street fight scene:

"Heath Ledger actually broke the nose of Ken Zilka, the stunt man, in one of the takes. Heath’s elbow hit Ken by accident, purely by accident. Zilka is a phenomenal stuntman, an absolute professional; it was part of the choreographed raw fight. It had such frenetic energy that when they were tussling, his elbow swung around and hit Ken in the nose. Although he broke it, nobody knew it. Ken didn’t tell anyone. In fact, we did four or five takes after that. The only reason I know is that Ken told me several weeks later that he had had his nose broken."

Sorry to be taking over the thread - won't anybody else post?  :-\ Guess everyone's out partying and whatever else it is you do on 4th of July.

Anyway, I found a new review of TDK that I hadn't seen before. it's the second review I've seen that calls for an Oscar nom for the film, not just the Joker.

And as for the Joker, here's what the reviewer has to say:

Quote
You can believe the hype, KNIGHT could have quite simply been renamed to THE JOKER. Ignoring the fact that we lost Ledger earlier this year, he truly does deserve credit for bringing one of the most diverse, unique and well-developed characters to the big screen since Daniel Day Lewis in THERE WILL BE BLOOD. Some will say it's over-the-top, while everyone else will see the true genius in his work. When Christopher and Jonathan Nolan reveal The Joker's motive early in the film, it's tough to take in, and tough to take serious (why so serious?), but by the final frame of the film, the viewer should be sold without question. The deconstruction of The Joker is something of wonder; watching Ledger descend deeper into psychosis was more interesting that watching Lewis do it in BLOOD. To say he will give the viewer goosebumps is an understatement.

The full review is here:

Well, one final post from me then, and I'll be off.....

I don't know much about the Batman/TDK fandom at all, but it suddenly struck me that if it is like other fandoms (say; Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc.) that means many fans will dress up as their favourite characters for the premiere or for the first public screening.

I wonder if the initial audience crowds will be filled with Jokers?

And I can't help noticing the piercing in his ear here. It somehow makes this Heath to me, instead of TDK character...

Heads up to all of us... we're going to have to agree on a spoiler policy and whether to post spoilers here at all, marked as such, and for how long to continue with that - or whether to keep them strictly in a separate thread for that purpose. The film does not premiere in Europe till weeks, even months later. And though I personally love reading reviews that don't go into details about the plot and the ending, and I love seeing pictures and clips - I don't want to know more than that.

I suppose it's up to the mod(s) to decide....  :-*

Thanks, Mikaela, you're right about the spoiler factor.  If Leslie is in agreement, I would like to request that HHH posters refrain from posting details of the plot of TDK in this thread, whether they've seen the movie or not.

There is a thread started by Elle here (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,21558.0.html) in the Heath Remembrance Forum that allows spoilers, so you can post them there and refer us to that thread in your posts in HHH.

The thread started by BelAir in the Culture Tent seems to have no definite policy on spoilers yet.  Am I right, BelAir? (Thanks for the WB, BTW)  :)

After the movie has been open for some time in Europe as well as in the US, then we can lift the ban on spoilers.

I'll head on over to the 1000+post thread next, but before I go: here's a link to the RottenTomatoes TDK page. Very useful in that it keeps track of all reviews, quotes the most relevant parts of them, and links to the full reviews. I've read all 9 reviews that currently are up - they range in tone from extatic to entirely satisfied, and all praise Heath's acting. But they contain few if any very specific spoilers about scenes etc. so these I didn't mind reading.

Hi Meryl,

Yep, the spoiler issue hasn't come up in the Culture Tent thread...  my own 2 cents on that thread (granted we're not there right now, but anyhoo, since it was brought up) would be that spoilers are fine as long as a warning is posted at the top of the message...  but would of course defer to the mods, don't feel particular "ownership" just b/c I started the thread...

fwiw, i think it is also fine to have a place without spoilers, and it seems more logical for that to be here, than in the Culture Tent per se...

Welcome back, Chrissi. Guess we've got some Heathy goodness to look forward to again, now you're back in business!  :)


Someone gave me the Batman Begins DVD some time back and I'm thinking that in the course of this week I really should 8re9watch it. Just to get back into the full swing and backstory of the particular version of Gotham/batville that the Joker soon will be inhabiting on a screen near me...

Those are wonderful, Spicey!

Didn't you get to meet Heath? And I think you got his autograph...If my memory serves me correctly, will you repeat the details of that story? I think you were truly blessed to be able to see him in person.

I stopped by the IMAX here in NY today and bought tickets for The Dark Knight.  Most of the opening weekend was already sold out, so I bought tickets for John Gallagher and me on Monday the 21st at 2:00.  Less than two weeks!  8)

Sounds great, Meryl.  :)

I was at the movies yesterday, Sex and the City (weird film - so shallow and brimming with product placement and so cinderella-tale-fake, and yet I enjoyed myself immensely and so did my friends. But we got brainwashed into wanting really high-heeled shoes.)  ::)  Anyway, I asked at the ticket stand when advance tickets for TDK would be going on sale, and the girl looked at me blankly like *duh*. She clearly hadn't heard of the film, and told me they had no information about upcoming films or advance sales.  ::) ::) ::)

I clearly live in the back of beyond with nothing but clueless, undiscerning hicks around!!  >:( Thank God I'm going to the EuroBrokie TDK event!

I am pleased to hear "most already sold out" and I am glad I am not the only one buying tickets in advance!!

I wonder if there is any "news" stuff on predicted ticket sales and what not...

VAL KILMER: 'LEDGER LEGACY IS COMPLETE THANKS TO GREAT ROLES'

VAL KILMER is happy pal HEATH LEDGER got to show off his acting talents in challenging roles before his untimely death - because now he'll be considered one of the greats.
The Doors star discovered a soulmate in Ledger but always worried the "interesting and successful" roles he played never showed his true talents.
But, thanks to Brokeback Mountain and the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, the late Aussie's legacy will be spot on.
Kilmer tells WENN, "I've known him for a number of years and there was a gravity to him that came up.
"It's tough, but when I think about him, in terms of the tragedy of his life ending, I'm happy that he got to do a couple of roles that matched what he was capable of because he always seemed to me an actor doing interesting and successful work, but he was better than some of those roles."
Former Batman Kilmer and the new Joker Ledger met up a month before the latter died from an accidental drug overdose in January (08) and Kilmer still has fond memories of their last meeting.
He recalls, "He was very proud of having quit drinking. We were in a nasty smoke-filled club and I was drinking water and Heath's like, 'Hey, you're drinking water,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, you're drinking water too,' and he was excited about drinking water.
"He said he hadn't had a drink in about a year."

Ledger was always Joker - director



Christopher Nolan, director of this summer's eagerly anticipated Batman sequel The Dark Knight, has revealed that he had only the late Heath Ledger in mind for the part of the Joker.

Despite actors like Robin Williams and Sean Penn rumoured to be on the shortlist, the British-American filmmaker insisted otherwise.


"Heath was the only one on it. I knew he was it from the start," Christopher told Entertainment Weekly.

"The guy had serious nuts. What I needed was someone who wouldn't be afraid of the comparison with Jack Nicholson. And then I saw Heath's incredible performance in Brokeback Mountain. Such a lack of vanity."

He continued: "This was an actor who wasn't afraid to bury himself in his character - to a massive extent."

And Christopher revealed that he made the right decision in picking Heath, who leaves behind a bittersweet legacy in the movie after dying from an accidental drugs overdose last January.

He took time preparing to become the Joker, working with a voice coach to perfect the villain's cackle and applied make-up himself.

"We had the same take on the character," said Christopher.

"He tried to articulate to me what he was doing with his voice, but it was sometimes hard to understand. He said he wanted the voice to have a mocking quality, a sort of disconnectedness. He started applying the make-up himself."

Matt is 11 nearly 12,and keeps telling me he will be fine.I have told him that I think it will be more than a bit scary.His attitude has always been if it is not based on real life he is fine. I have after much thought decided against Emma going, she is only 10 and too young.So she has had a real go at me.As I pointed out, my house, my rules.
I have watched  lot of the trailers on you tube now and definitely think it is unsuitable for her age.I will wait in the mall so that if Matt is not as brave as he thinks, he can walk out to the foodcourt,outside the movie theatre.

In Germany, TDK will start not before August, 21st  :o. More than a month later than in the US. Talk about living in the back of beyond ... :P

I'm also happy I'll be able to see it earlier (at the EuroBrokie meeting). And so much looking forward to see you again, Mika :-*
And just like Elle&company and Meryl and John, we'll see TDK for the first time together with fellow Brokies! :)

I just checked the Norwegian Rating: It's 15 years, so parents would not have to ponder whether or not to let a 12-year old go watch it.

The Norwegian Film Board's Reason for the rating (They always explain the ratings they give): 

"Despite well-known characters, they are depicted in this film as extremely sombre and unstable. The film is given a 15-year age limit due to its massive depiction of cruelty and violence in a threatening and very dark universe."

In comparison, 11-year olds could go see Brokeback Mountain alone here, if they wanted to.  :)

I completely agree with both decisions, of course. IMO it's scary violence that messes kids' brains up, not depiction of love and mature relationships that happens to include non-gratuituous sex.

I've never understood the US rating system.

"KIM Ledger says his family will leave Perth for New York this week to attend the July 15 premiere of The Dark Knight, son Heath Ledger's Batman movie. The trip will take them away from the growing row in the Perth arts world over Alan Carpenter's announcement on Tuesday that a new theatre complex would be named after Heath. Kim Ledger says the family keeps in close touch with Heath's ex-fiancee Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda, 2. "We're going to America five days earlier to be able to play with Matilda," he says.

Gary Oldman Tells Us Heath Deserves an Oscar


In an interview this week Sheila Roberts our LA wonder writer spoke to Gary Oldman about working on The Dark Knight and specifically with Heath Ledger who passed on during the filming, may he RIP. You will be able to read the entire interview later in the week but in the meantime we wanted to highlight his comments on working with Heath Ledger. Earlier Christian Bale praised Heath in an interview on ReelComix ( Christian Bale Dark Knight Interview ). Christian Bale praised Heath in the interview telling them;

Heath Ledger completely immersed himself. He stayed in character. When he was the Joker, he was the Joker throughout. He had an absolute commitment to that. He has portrayed the Joker in a way that has not been portrayed before. He has this punk, clockwork orange approach to it. He did such a damn good job that if Chris decides to make a third movie he has created a real challenge of how do you up the ante with any villain after Heath's portrayal of the joker.

True to what Christian said Gary Oldman thinks that Heath Ledger is an actor who went at subsonic speed and delivered land mark performances;

I think there's certain - Actors go along - really good actors, as Heath was, go along and they have good careers it's like they're sort of traveling at subsonic speed, and occasionally they go through the sound barrier. You can think of people like Jack Nicholson in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,” Al Pacino in “Dog Day Afternoon”…There's certain landmark performances where you just think that they just fly. And Heath has done that here. He's just tuning in to a radio station - he's got a frequency that none of us can hear. It was like he found something. And I knew it was special the first day I worked with him. I called a friend and they said “How is it?” and I said “It's good, it's good,” and they said “How's Heath as The Joker” and I said “He's going to be sensational. You can tell already.” How good he turned out to be is beyond my expectation, really.
People talk about the intensity of someone like Christian. And I've heard someone say “Christian's a method actor.” Well, Christian's still alive. [pause] I mean, Heath, in between takes, would laugh and joke and sit down on the curb and have a cigarette and talk about Matilda. And I think it's just the sort of thing that everybody wants to go “Oh, it's the role. It drove him…” You'd have to be neurologically fucking mental, you'd have to have a disorder to play a part and let it affect you so much that you can't sleep and that you - you know what I mean? Don't you think? People want a darker story than there really is, because my experience of him, and I don't know if he had substance abuse in the past, and people talk about partying and the stuff he used to do, but I was never witness to that. I worked with a sweet kid who had such a heart, who was a lovely guy. I worked with this guy who was completely committed to the role and the work, wanted more than anything to be taken seriously as an actor. He was on time, he knew the lines, and he was a nice kid.
It leads to the question is Heath Ledger deserving of an oscar and in Gary Oldmans mind without a question he is.
Yeah, I think so. I think the Academy tend to overlook movies like this, they somehow seem to don't take it so seriously because it just doesn't fall into their thing. They don't tend to look at work in movies like this. But in this case I think the acting is so good, I think his performance is so good, I think it's going to be very hard to avoid it. So he could be the first - who was the last guy? From “Network?”
Check back later for Sheila's entire interview with Gary Oldman which will include lots more on Gary's work on The Dark Knight.

I am not a film board rater, but I believe the "R" rating for BBM was due to the 23 instances of the word "f**k." That word can be used once in a PG-13 movie, after that, it moves to R (that's what I have heard, anyway). Yes, there were also mature themes and nudity which were part of the package but that's what it is--a package.

I am sure Christopher Nolan knew exactly what he was doing to make the movie in such a way as to garner a PG-13 rating. He didn't want to lose his audience of adolescent boys!

Yesterday the psychic James Van Praagh was on "The View" and mentioned having been visited by Heath.  I googled and found that he's mentioned it in many interviews, including one for CYInterview.com (http://www.thesportsinterview.com/jamesvan.html).  Here's the pertinent text:

JVP: “Very good question. Yes I have. Yes Heath Ledger has appeared to me. Two weeks after he died I was shaving and right behind on the right side in the mirror his face appeared and he said to me in my head that I screwed up. Now he knew me. We didn’t know each other directly, but we had mutual friends and he knew what I did. He said I screwed up. Then he thought about his daughter and that was it. Then the next thing I heard about Michelle [Williams], his ex, at their apartment in Brooklyn she’s been haunted by him twice. Once she was awakened at 3:00 AM by furniture moving and another time at 4:00 AM in the morning. She said she knew it was him. There was a shadowy figure at the end of her bed. She knows it’s him. I do get a sense that he is restless right now and really wants to speak with her. Actually as I speak I am working on doing a reading for her.”

I agree, there will be lots of boys of Matt's age who will want to see the movie and each parent will make their own decision.

I am equally sure that as you said Nolan would not want to put off probably one of the biggest age ranges for his film.
.
In all truth I am more concerned about my older son seeing it,with the allusion to violence,and he is nearly 15,particularly with his history.Each child is different, and I certainly would not have let the older one see it at Matt's age.

I know that the younger boy seems too young to be seeing it.He will be with his brother and father. He is pretty sensible when it come to knowing what scares him.He could not watch a PG13 movie if it was rooted in reality, or theoretically could be something that could occur in real life.When it comes to scary characters that he cannot connect with reality, he is fine.A more recent example, he could not watch the film about 9/11 because it really happened and he has to change the T.V channel when the advert for abused animals comes on.He cannot watch anything where people get sick and die either.

I think he is a very sensible kid, with a very mature view of what he can and can't watch.He has his own, so far very accurate barometer.

I use the rating system as a guideline, then apply it to each of my kids.Emma only wanted to see it because her brothers are going,now she knows it will be scary she has no interest.
To be honest I think Matt is more interested in seeing the cars,bikes and chases than anything else.The rest he will let wash over him.
I even let him watch most parts of BBM and he just thought it was a really sad film and could not understand why people were so prejudiced.One of his father's uncles is gay and he just simply does not have a problem with it.As for the language in BBM e has eard worse on the very middle class tennis circuit from both kids and parents !!!!!

My older son has no interest in watching it and I would not offend people her by repeating some of the filth that comes out of his mouth re gays.I am ashamed of him.He thinks it's clever to call his younger brother gay, and Matt just says so what if I am !!!!
So I suppose what I am saying is that there is chronological age and real age.My 2 boys could easily swap.Matt is nearly 12 going on 15 the oldest is nearly 15 going on 12.

Responsible parents use that guide of PG 13 and apply it individually to each of their children.

I will report back fter each of the 2 boys have seen it.

Aaron Eckhart (Harvey Dent/Two Face in TDK) was on Jay Leno last night.  I recorded it on my DVR... Jay called the movie "best picture of the year" and Aaron had lovely things to say about Heath...  I tried to find a youtube clip with no luck, so I guess I'll transcribe and report back...
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath

Okay here you go....  (I edited out a few ands, ums, etc...)

--Jay says that Heath “had been coming here since he was a teenager.  He was just a nice kid.”

And then Aaron talks about working with Heath: “The time that I spent with him (Heath) was amazing, and as an actor, to act with somebody who really loves their craft, who really loves their character, who enjoys the process of acting so much… It was a pleasure to work with him.”

“When he came in, we did a scene, I didn’t have much to do in the scene, Heath really takes over the scene, but when he came in there, it was, you know, I had to hold on to my shirt because he was going a hundred miles an hour, he was doing all this great stuff with his character and every time was different.  I’ve never seen an actor come on stage, or come on to the movie set, and the crew perks up.  He electrified the crew.  Every single time that I hadn’t been working, I would come in and I would say to Chris Nolan, the director, and say ‘What’s going on?  What’s been happening’ and his eyes would light up and he would say ‘Oh my gosh Heath did this’ and ‘Heath did this’ and ‘His character he did this.’ He gives an amazing performance in this movie.”--

It was really nice and heartfelt.

“When he came in, we did a scene, I didn’t have much to do in the scene, Heath really takes over the scene, but when he came in there, it was, you know, I had to hold on to my shirt because he was going a hundred miles an hour, he was doing all this great stuff with his character and every time was different.  I’ve never seen an actor come on stage, or come on to the movie set, and the crew perks up.  He electrified the crew.  Every single time that I hadn’t been working, I would come in and I would say to Chris Nolan, the director, and say ‘What’s going on?  What’s been happening’ and his eyes would light up and he would say ‘Oh my gosh Heath did this’ and ‘Heath did this’ and ‘His character he did this.’ He gives an amazing performance in this movie.”--

It was really nice and heartfelt.


Heath obviously just lit up people wherever he was.I remember one review of TDK saying that you just can't wait for the joker to come back on the screen.The audience visibly changes as soon as he is back in play again.That says something of the man as an actor, that the viewer counts the time until he is back on screen, particularly when he is hardly playing a likeable character.

I felt that with Candy, I really did not like the whole heroin thing and cringed at those parts, but at the same time, felt a big hole everytime Heath was missing from a scene.It literally seemed like why didn't you just cut out the rest, the only parts worth watching are those where Heath is present.

With BBM the love of Jack and Ennis was so palpable that any time not spent watching the 2 of them and their love, or Heath and his terrible inner torment, seemed like wasted screen time to me.

I really do think a light went out in January.Never before have I felt any connection with someone I did not know.No rockstar or actor, etc.
BBM got me good and Heath continues to.I guess I will have to watch TDK on dvd, as I simply do not think I am ready to watch it surrounded by other people.

I am not a film board rater, but I believe the "R" rating for BBM was due to the 23 instances of the word "f**k." That word can be used once in a PG-13 movie, after that, it moves to R

So it's OK that a film contains loads of scary and sadistic murder and mayhem, as long as the villains don't scream "fuck" while they're killing people?  ???

Thank you for explaining, Leslie.  :)  But it still doesn't make sense to me, personally.

I'd never have let someone who wasn't well past 15 watch this film, from what I'm reading over here, - in fact, I've started worrying again how it will impact *me*. I do my best to stay away from having my mind polluted by too much human pain and horror displayed for entertainment purposes and from having my empathy numbed down by strong depictions of cruelty and sadism.... and the NFB's comment concerning "massive depiction of cruelty and violence in a threatening and very dark universe" worries me. Now none of the film reviews I have read comment on that aspect at all, even when it comes to the Joker it's all reviewers' screams of joy, and noone bothers about what he is shown getting up to, just that Heath is so good at making it believable.... so I had actually stopped worrying. But of course they are all American reviewers and used to films with massive violence being viewed by all and sundry, and so probably saw no problem as long as nobody said "fuck".  ::)


Please guys, once you've seen it - let me know if the violence is over the top and of the kind that might leave a somewhat sensitive person sleepless.  :-\

Yesterday the psychic James Van Praagh was on "The View" and mentioned having been visited by Heath.  I googled and found that he's mentioned it in many interviews, including one for CYInterview.com (http://www.thesportsinterview.com/jamesvan.html).  Here's the pertinent text:

JVP: “Very good question. Yes I have. Yes Heath Ledger has appeared to me. Two weeks after he died I was shaving and right behind on the right side in the mirror his face appeared and he said to me in my head that I screwed up. Now he knew me. We didn’t know each other directly, but we had mutual friends and he knew what I did. He said I screwed up. Then he thought about his daughter and that was it. Then the next thing I heard about Michelle [Williams], his ex, at their apartment in Brooklyn she’s been haunted by him twice. Once she was awakened at 3:00 AM by furniture moving and another time at 4:00 AM in the morning. She said she knew it was him. There was a shadowy figure at the end of her bed. She knows it’s him. I do get a sense that he is restless right now and really wants to speak with her. Actually as I speak I am working on doing a reading for her.”


Sigh. What a lot of crap poor Michelle has to deal with -  not only paps and gossip rumours about feuds with the in-laws and legal battles over inheritance. I couldn't even have imagined this kind of nonsense cropping up, some charlatan eager to make himself famous from pretend association with celebrities - even celebrities who are not longer with us and cannot refute his assertations.

What is The View and why are they giving air time to such people?

It was the same for me when seeing I'm Not There, although I enjoyed the whole movie, which I hadn't thought beforehand. But it was not this way with BBM. In BBM I loved every scene and every scene was important (though I could do without Cassie dancing after X viewings, to burrow the words of my friend and sister-mod Katherine :)).

What is The View and why are they giving air time to such people?

"The View" is a daytime talk show on ABC created by Barbara Walters some years ago.  There are four regular women co-hosts along with Barbara, who is there off and on.  They start off with 15-30 minutes of "Hot Topics," where each gets to air her opinion on whatever is in the news, global or celebrity.  After that they usually have a few guests, usually people promoting their books or movies.  The one with James Van Praagh was a rare themed show that featured, along with him, some guys who do a ghost-hunting show on cable and a man who heads some paranormal society.  They also showed clips of Whoopi Goldberg (one of the regulars) in her role as a medium in "Ghost."

Mostly, they were polite, made some jokes and some offhand comments that showed they were skeptical.  Barbara especially asked pointed questons and was clearly not a believer.  When Van Praagh did readings for some audience members, they made sure to ask the subjects whether he was indeed bringing up true information for them.  Frankly, I was glad they didn't include one of those professional skeptics as a guest.  Their aim was presumably for the show to be entertaining, and it was.

Mikaela, I agree with your main point here hunnerd per cent.  When I first started hearing about TDK, I assumed it was a Heath movie I just was going to have to skip.  But when he died, and it became clear that his body of work was finite, I knew I was going to see TDK (and Candy and Monster's Ball, which I had assumed I would never, ever see).   And I started getting excited to see TDK, reading what people were saying about Heath.  But yeah, "massive depiction of cruelty and violence in a threatening and very dark universe" sounds very grim.  I'm going to see it, but it is why I decided to not go for the IMAX experience, which engulfs a person.

And just to say - and to just be honest about how something is striking me - it's not that I disagree with your depiction of some American popular movies having massive violence that might tend to make people become complacent and inured to horror, but I just want to say that I am an American, born and bred, and I'm not into those movies, and I know plenty of other Americans who aren't.

Post by: Ellemeno on July 09, 2008, 05:14:28 pm
Hey, I just remembered what Heath said in that first TDK interview I found and posted within the last two weeks - something about how the violence in the movie is more threatened and implied than overt and gory.  Anybody remember that, and has the time to find it?

Not that threatened violence isn't damaging.   :-\

Mikaela - regarding the violence of TDK.  Did you see Batman Begins?  How was that for you?  What about Point Break?  (old Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze movie - honestly, i just asked that b/c of the masked robbers scene)  I am anticipating that TDK will be violent, but not gory.  How do you want us to let you know without giving away spoilers?  (trying to be helpful, not nosey or pushy or anything)

Not very much of this is new, but so nice to read:

'Dark Knight' cast reflects on Heath Ledger


BY LESLIE MORGAN
July 9, 2008
 
On January 22, 2008 Heath Ledger was found dead. The actor had completed his work as the Joker in 'The Dark Knight and the media became a circus. How would Warner Brothers cope with the viral marketing campaign that involved the character of the Joker? Would post-production on the film be affected? And the biggest point of speculation: how had Ledger died? The world that day lost a tremendous talent, but the media sensationalized what was now considered to be a terrible accident and ultimately a terrible tragedy. Best known for his Oscar nominated role in 'Brokeback Mountain', one of Ledger's last performances would be in 'The Dark Knight'.

At the film's press junket, it became very clear how Ledger's fellow actors and colleagues viewed him. The media spun Ledger's death, but have not commented on the actor's life or how Ledger came across in person. When casting the role of the Joker, Christopher Nolan knew he had someone very special on his hands when he cast Ledger in the film.

"Heath was somebody I wanted to work with for years. What I knew I needed for the Joker was an actor of extraordinary talent, which was evident from his other work. His performance in Brokeback Mountain for example, was truly spectacular. An actor who was unafraid, who was completely prepared to take on an iconic role and make it his own. Heath told me he could do that. Before we had a script, I met with him and he and I saw it the same way. Heath really got it."

David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan who wrote the film felt that Ledger's performance went beyond what they had imagined. Goyer says, "He's astonishing. The thing that I am the most excited about with regards to that character, I feel at least for me it's the first time onscreen that he (the Joker) has really been frightening. That's what I've been telling people. You're really going to be frightened by him, which I think is a testament to Heath."

For Aaron Ekchart who plays Harvey Dent in the film, Ledger's performance helped him as an actor. Although, Eckhart says that Ledger was certainly not all doom and gloom as many people have imagined. In fact it was quite the opposite on set. Eckhart and Ledger shared a make-up trailer and Eckhart really enjoyed the experience. "It was a lot of fun because Heath brought in his IPod that had more songs than EMI and he just had all this stuff going. All the noises you make and getting into character. Heath would always be throwing back his hair. It was fun, it was a lot of fun in that make-up trailer, discovering our characters together."

Though Eckhart didn't spend a great deal of time with Ledger, he certainly enjoyed the time he did get to spend with him.

"The time I did spend with him, I was amazed by his talent. What he was doing with the Joker. In rehearsals, we went to rehearsals in London and Chris brought me in to work with Heath and he's doing his thing and I just thought ok, this kid is doing something special. I said to Chris, 'Heath's really going to be good in this,' and Chris said, 'Yeah!' So then I would hear reports about what Heath was doing and I would come back after having some time off and I would say, 'So Chris how'd it go,' and his eyes would light up and he'd say, 'Heath's been doing this and this and he's doing this,' and I was like OK! We all were watching Heath pretty closely and felt he was doing something pretty special. Then having seen it now on the screen I see it.

Eckhart and Ledger have one scene in particular together that is pretty powerful and had a big impact on Eckhart.


"The scene together in the hospital is the biggest scene. It was Heath's scene and he drove it. It was a great scene and I really got a lot of energy from him and he, throughout the day, would find his character and things to do.

"We would improvise and he knew his character so well, so thoroughly that he could go anywhere at anytime. That's when you know you're working with somebody special. Heath really helped me. It was an honor to work with him and I felt like that was why an actor is an actor to be with him. He was great off the set. He was happy and showed me pictures of his kid. He talked about his kid and liked listening to music. I just think that's important for you to know."

Gary Oldman who plays Commissioner Gordon also spoke highly of Ledger and shared similar stories as Eckhart when there was down time on the set. Oldman commented that Ledger often talked about Matilda, his daughter with actress Michelle Williams, showing him pictures and sharing fun anecdotes. Christian Bale who shared the most screen time with Ledger playing Batman against his Joker spoke about Ledger's level of commitment.


"He created this really iconic villain, portrayed the Joker in a way he's never been portrayed before, far creepier, far more anarchic, Clockwork Orange style Joker."

What is clearly apparent is that Ledger's fellow actors as well as his colleagues have incredibly fond memories of the actor. Contrary to what the tabloids and other media outlets have suggested, Ledger had a great rapport with everyone on set. As for Ledger's performance, it is one that will be touted for sometime and rightfully so as he has transformed a seemingly standard villain into something legendary.

Spooky Rabbit is a fella.  I loved that hie-larious guy.  He was the luckiest person in the world, who got his hands on a review copy of BBM before it even came out, and sat and counted the hunhs and hms, and notated their exact time in the film.  A few of us added to his list.  I miss him.

I'm happy I don't have to make this decision. I don't know if I could stay away from it, but probably would scream the the screen half the time. I've seen a bit of one E! Hollywood story once while switching channels late at night, and thought "What kind of cr*p is this?"

Also wasn't it  E, whatever branch, that was going to show the film of Heath and drugs, allegedly.I am so worried about what they might try to insinuate, to increase ratings.

I may be mistaken, but I think it was Entertainment Tonight that was tangled up in the scandal about the supposed film that suggested drug use.

Amanda, your memory is good; it was Entertainment Tonight that was going to air that video showing purported drug use.

Well what do you know.... 

I was going to totally stick to my guns that American reviewers do not react to (or at least do not comment specifically about) massive violence in films as opposed to the age limit (which was what I was saying previously, I did not and did not intend to comment on American audiences in general). At the time of my post yesterday I could have pointed to all available reviews for TDK, as well as US reviews for a number of other films that have created age-limit fuss among reviewers here back home in the mountains, and I could have stuck to those guns, very Joker-like. ;D


However, now as always, Murphy's law applies 100% in my life and therefore both reviews made available today do in fact comment on the film's age limit vs. level of violence.

Here's reviewer David Poland: "The movie works really well – however pitch black and undeniably inappropriate for any kid who isn’t over 12 or playing Grand Theft Auto with mom & dad’s blessing – in delivering The Joker’s mayhem in the first 100 minutes or so."

Full review here: http://www.mcnblogs.com/thehotbutton/2008/07/the_darkest_longest_knight.html


And here, even more troubling IMO, is Time Magazine's Richard Corliss : "The mayhem and torture wreaked here, by saint or scum, are so vivid and persistent that it's a wonder, and a puzzle, why The Dark Knight snagged a PG-13 rating."

Full review here:
http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1821365,00.html


Both of them give overall positive, very positive reviews, but I'm back to really wondering whether I'll be up to seeing this movie.  :-\  It's really a sad irony of fate when I so much want to see Heath's much-lauded last fully realized role, but at the same time am afraid it'll give me nightmares and haunt my memory for entirely the wrong reasons. I wish the darn film would just premiere already so I could get the opinion of discerning Brokies.


To end on a slightly lighter note, have you all seen Maggie Gyllenhaal's portrait on the cover of Tatler? Here's the link - and seriously, as one commenter says: "Jokerizing is going mainstream."  :o ;D

I just hope they do not show the footage of him being brought out of the building.I only saw that once and it had me screaming hysterical.


I feel pretty certain they will show it, maybe several times, since the times I've seen this show, after three minutes of commercials, they recap and recap what they had just said before the commercial, and especially seem to repeat shocking footage.



Quote from: BelAir on July 10, 2008, 01:43:36 pm

egh... someone with a stronger stomach than me will have to watch it first and report back.  I can talk about The Joker all day long, but I'm not sure I'm up or such a "real life" thing so soon... who knows how they will 'spin' him...


Will do.  It will be interesting to see the tone they take.  "True Hollywood Story" seems to go for the shock value.  But since they're timing it right before the opening of TDK, maybe it will spin more positive? 



Quote from: atz75 on July 10, 2008, 02:17:01 pm

And, I feel the same way as many of you about the E! special.  I think my curiosity is going to force me to watch.  But, I'm very ambivalent about it.  I most of all hope it's respectfully and tastefully done.


It may turn out to be fairly respectful, but I bet it won't be very tastefully done.

Welcome, Carolina. Always very nice to meet a new Heathen!  :)



Well, since obviously I'm right there with Chrissi in being unable to see the Special Program thingie about Heath (probably just as well, knowing the care normally taken in putting together such things) I've been continuing to sniff around for tidbits on TDK.

The following was just too cute not to share, it's from an online story today in USAtoday on and with Maggie Gyllenhaal, and the passage I'd like to quote was this one:

Despite the film's dark subject matter, the set at times resembled a day care center. Gyllenhaal shot the film when Ramona was an infant and brought her to the set. There, she was often greeted by Nolan's four children. "Sometimes, that was the only way we could see our kids," Nolan says. [   ] Adds Eckhart: "Maggie brought her child to set, and Heath brought (daughter) Matilda. Gary (Oldman) has two beautiful young boys. So the baby talk was rampant in the makeup trailer."

 :)


MG also says a thing or two in praise of Heath in the article, but in a relatively general way. I thought this was the best part:  "Sometimes in my work, you're just alive and being the person you're playing. It's unusual. It's difficult to get there. And I think Heath did. Nothing Heath could do was wrong."

Sorry for me maybe not understanding properly, but does she say he stayed in character the whole time? Didn't his other co-stars say this wasn't the case at all. Please don't shoot if i misunderstood what she said.

Mikaela - regarding the violence of TDK.  Did you see Batman Begins?  How was that for you?  What about Point Break?  (old Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze movie - honestly, i just asked that b/c of the masked robbers scene)  I am anticipating that TDK will be violent, but not gory.  How do you want us to let you know without giving away spoilers?  (trying to be helpful, not nosey or pushy or anything)

I'm so sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, and here you were being extra special helpful and everything!  :-*  

I have seen Batman Begins, but only on DVD, and I found it boring and predictable. It didn't leave me sleepness, at least not when seen in that small format. I haven't seen Point Break.

Because I think they contain the kind of scenes I try to avoid, I've stayed away from (among others) Apocalypto, Natural Born Killers, American Psycho, Kill Bill, Passion of the Christ, Funny Games, and all the Hannibal Lechter movies except Silence of the Lambs. And that one *did* give me nightmares. Especially the scene with those guards that Lecther slaughters so inventively when he escapes.

And I believe if somebody had made me watch any of the "Hostel" or "Saw" movies I'd probably have never been able to sleep again in my life.  :-\  

I suppose if I'm to summarize therefore what I'd sincerely like to avoid is "inventive" graphic violence that contains elements of sadism, torture and intentional cruelty, particularly when dwelling on and coupled with powerlessness and protracted fear, anguish and/or physical or mental pain for the victim(s). Long suspenseful passages where it's being indicated that such things are about to happen are not my cup of tea, either. Neither are particularly graphic scenes of wholesale slaughter and gore that dwell on the details of knives, other scary-looking weapons, wounds, deaths and bloodletting complete with panic, screaming, etc etc.

And if any of the above is included purely for entertainment value, without any underlying more or less "worthy" or decent message or point to is, it's even worse.

So.... if any of this turns out to fit TDK, I'd sincerely appreciate getting an advance warning. Without being todl details of single scenes, if at all possible. Hope that was sufficient.

It's a good question, I think! I think she meant what BelAir indicated in the reply above. Also, her statement was made in the context of the feeling that the viewer gets when watching the Joker, perhaps just as much as what Heath was up to when acting the scenes. In any case, I am confident I've read several quotes from co-actors who say Heath would remain focused on the role, but never be lost in the character between takes. I completely belive them in that.

The full quote from USAToday that I took the above passage from, is as follows. It makes her context clearer:

Quote
"Gyllenhaal recently saw Dark Knight for the first time, but she isn't one to share any intimate memories of working with Ledger and has been critical of the circus-like coverage of his death and funeral. But she does say that watching him on screen left her "really emotional."

"In the middle," she says, "you sort of get lost in him being the Joker. … I felt like someone could hate this or love this, or think it's a wrong choice or a right choice, but really there's no way to qualify it. Sometimes in my work, you're just alive and being the person you're playing. It's unusual. It's difficult to get there. And I think Heath did. Nothing Heath could do was wrong."

Okay, Mikaela, thanks for all of that.  I think you are right to be worried, given what you said above and the various reviews.  Well, I am not one for on screen gore, but it does not give me nightmares.  Sometimes bad dreams or poor sleeping, yes, but not true nightmares.

A friend of mine at work (knowing my Heathenite status) asked me if I was worried or nervous about seeing The Dark Knight.  And I told her, no, not really, because I know for a fact that he's NOT the Joker, if that makes any sense.  Now, I may very well have some emotional response to seeing just new images of Heath (regardless of Joker status) - sort of happened to me when I watched The Order recently. 

My point, sounds like for you it really doesn't have much to do with Heath or The Joker per se, just the overall level of violence/darkness...  I think we will be able to advise you, and worse (worst?) case scenario, I bet we could all work together to figure out bits that you could watch...

How about the Tom Hanks/Paul Newman movie where Tom Hanks plays a mobster on the run with his son?  Road to Perdition I think is its name (sort of dark, violent, but not gory, imo).  And the Bourne trilogy movies? (they're very violent, but not horribly dark, imo)

(fwiw, I also avoid Hostel and Saw type movies... and if I do end up watching them, for whatever reason, only do so in the middle of the afternoon.) 

well, with any luck, I'll have seen TDK by this time next week...

Maybe MG meant that Heath was able to bring the character to life...  or that when he was acting on set, it wasn't as if he was acting, that the director didn't have to tell him what to do --  the mannerisms, gestures, etc. -- that Heath just knew what to do, that while on set he had become the character.  Which sounds pretty amazing, especially since he's playing a fictional character in a super-hero movie.

yes, Fran, I think that is a likely description/explanation.

It is similar to how his friends describe him in the article Marie posted.

I was pretty dang teary-eyed by the end of the article...

Here is one more pic and a quote from Heath as his career was just starting way back when...

Well, now, how am I gonna make this a career I would like to have?

such an everyman quote, imo.

Marie, I want to echo the others in thanking you for bringing that link here.  :) I've read it and its very interesting, and ... poignant. :)


Fran, I do like your interpretation of what MG meant to say. I think you're right and it fits very well with what other actors and crew have said previously - and how Heath himself explained the creation (his creation!  8) ) of aspects of the Joker. I guess he more or less inhabited the guy without having to be told what to do.


Quote from: BelAir on July 11, 2008, 12:04:20 pm
My point, sounds like for you it really doesn't have much to do with Heath or The Joker per se, just the overall level of violence/darkness... 

Well, yes and no. If I were to see "Hostel", I'd feel absolutely awful, defiled, and nauseous because of the content. But if Heath had had a role in the film, it'd be even worse, because I probably wouldn't be able to reconcile my admiration for him with the horror I felt at his role and the film in general - how could I ever respect and admire someone who took that kind of role in that kind of torture-porn-for-entertainment film? Now I know that whatever TDK is, it sure isn't "Hostel", thank goodness - I'm just trying to make as clear a point as I may.

But I will say that in addition to worrying TDK is too gruesome in general, part of my worry over TDK is that the Joker will be the kind of sadistic, evil, psychopath character that gives me the big-time creeps..... and even more efficiently so by means of Heath's acting genius.... and then I'll really be torn and ambivalent about Heath and why on earth he of all people had to do such a role!

But OK; now I'll wait till I hear the verdict about the violence and the (general) opinion and comments here, and then I'll make up my mind about what to expect if/when I see it. Of course I do fully plan to see it.... Every review I've read has been thrilled and overjoyed bordering on extatic, so the fillm can't possibly be *that* hard to stomach... If it's on level with the Bourne films I'll be fine.

*fingers crossed*

The link to this article in "LA Weekly" and accompanying pictures popped up on my f-list yesterday.  A really terrific article.  After reading it, this small quote stands out in my mind:  "....So much to miss.”   Yep.  An incalculable loss in countless ways.  I'm glad I read it, but I have to admit it did cause another wave of sadness that hasn't gone away yet.

Thank you so much Marie for sharing that link. I absolutely loved the article. I have to admit I was more than a bit teary eyed towards the end. The tears were flowing ... again.  :'(  So much to miss indeed.


I'm partial to collectives in general, and I loved the idea of the art collective The Masses from the first time I heard about it. Apart from Heath, the article was very informative about The Masses. I saved the whole thing; text and all of the pictures.

Thanks again Marie :-*

Oh Marie, THANK YOU!  I keep wanting to know more about Masses.  Can't wait to read it.  Just opening the link I already see that Trevor DiCarlo is credited with taking the first pics.




Thanks from me too.It had me in tears again though particularly the sentence, "before there was a supernatural ingredient that made it something I'd  never seen before"

How that sentence made my heart ache. It seems that everyone who came in contact with Heath felt touched by someone/something special. There are not many people that can do that. Of course there are always eulogies when people pass, but with Heath there is something extra in what people write.
That makes it even more bitter sweet.I love reading all the praise about him but then the loss of such talent makes it so hard.

Well, the E! thing is on now, and so far, it's pretty good.  Lots of early stills and interviews I'd never seen before.  Of course, they're going chronologically. 

Damn, a lot of commercials.  And that annoying little "news" ticker tape across the bottom...

Heath on movies:  "I have to be in love with the story I'm telling."

Annie P. at the Oscars:  "He should change his name to Heath Legend."

Vincent Fantauzzo:  "He lived a lot of lives in a short time."

All in all, it was pretty respectfully done, especially compared to some of E!'s usual sensational nonsense. 

Most of the talking heads were co-stars, directors and such.  It was edited so that Heath mostly spoke for himself.

E's special on Heath was so different from their normal sensational stuff. I actualy didn't  cringe, in fact, at the end when Verne Troy said his piece I was in tears.
It was also sad to hear one of those interviewed saying, he was only just comming to his peak.
What a lot we are going to miss.

Post by: Brown Eyes on July 11, 2008, 10:32:16 pm
I agree that the THS was pretty well done compared to some of the E! network's productions.  I liked that they focused a lot on his work and yes, definitely that they included so many of Heath's own interviews. 

As far as their treatment of BBM, I loved that they included the one little clip of Annie Proulx talking about Heath.  I thought that was wonderful.  I also thought it was wonderful that they included almost all the intimate clips between Ennis and Jack (the reunion kiss, the motel and even a bit of TS2... the main affectionate moment not featured was the dozy embrace, and neither was TS1).  Essentially, I like that they didn't shy away from that.  The way they dealt with the Oscars just made me furious at the Oscars all over again (as is my usual emotion regarding the Oscars... probably more or less permanently at this point).

Anyway, it really is just all so sad. It made me realize how raw a lot of the emotions about this tragedy still are for me.

I thought it was pretty good, too.  I appreciated that they didn't mention any partying or drinking that he might have done during his Hollywood years.  I was a little surprised they made no mention of "Casanova" or the Dylan movie.

The people they interviewed were very good--articulate, personal, and clearly cared for Heath.  I especially liked his friend Melissa from "Sweat" and dear Verne Troyer, speaking with tears running down his face.

The worst part wasn't seeing the awful gurney shot again (though it was there only twice, at the beginning and in the end sequence); it was those God-cursed pop-up ads intruding on the program.  Whoever thought those up needs to be put in solitary and forced to watch them 24/7.  >:(

I'm happy (and frankly, surprised) to hear that the E! story was respectful.  I've seen a couple, and they were awful.  I need to check that out now, thanks for testing the waters, everyone.  I watched "I'm Not There" again last night, and wow, if anyone hasn't seen it, you really should.  I was expecting Heath's role to be purely an ensemble bit, you know, good, but just a little part of the whole.  Needless to say, it's much more than that, and like everything, he took it and made it huge.  I was inspired, so I thought I'd share a couuuple... Can I just add how adorable I find him in those huge glasses.

Thanks so much for all the E! show reviews everyone!  I am so glad (and relieved) it's something I'll be able to watch, rather than something I'll have to avoid.

I posted a new [I think] TDK review on the Culture Tent thread.  An interesting tidbit about the Joker:


warning sort of spoilerish....



"his makeup, which looked like a slapdash effort from the start, steadily deteriorates, streaking, cracking and peeling away as the film progresses; it's an outward manifestation of his psychological spiral."



I'm also curious whether you guys would count that little tidbit as a spoiler or not?  (if so, I'll avoid in the future and delete that part of the post, if you'd recommend...)

Excellent find, mariez.  Thank you so much for posting it.

My favorite parts were reading about the trip to Mexico -- hell, yes, Heath's been to Mexico! -- and how, with his helmet on, Heath was able to zip in and out of the Masses' office building completely unrecognized.  It seems like he found an oasis in LA.

It was also comforting to read how the press apparently didn't know about Heath's connection to the Masses and stayed away, letting Heath's friends grieve in peace.

And as crazy as it may sound, I'm thinking that if we ever do another collection in Heath's name, we might want to consider sending a donation to the Masses to help keep that dream alive.

Just a reminder that we have a "no spoilers, please" TDK thread that BelAir started in The Culture Tent, and a "spoilers welcome" TDK thread that I started in The Heath Remembrance forum.  

If you've seen TDK, and want to talk about it freely, you could post here (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,21558.new.html#new).

If you haven't seen TDK yet, and you don't want to find out too much about the plot before seeing it, you could read and post here (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,21447.new.html#new).

Having these two types of threads seems like a good solution for now.

July 12, 2008
Holy Cameo, Batman! It’s a Senator!
By PAM BELLUCK

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h243/lnicoll/Maine/11leahy190.jpg)


The senior senator from Vermont is in a large room packed with people when an unruly citizen bursts in making loud, unreasonable demands.

Anyone can see that a gavel to order is not going to work with this joker. He’s harassing people, and he’s got a gun.

The senator steps forward. “We’re not intimidated by you thugs,” he says. The man, saying, “You remind me of my father — I hated my father,” grabs the senator’s head, and thrusts a knife to his face. The senator freezes, eyes wide.

Not your typical Capitol Hill brouhaha. No, this scene is pure Hollywood, straight out of the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight.” But that really is the senior senator from Vermont: Patrick J. Leahy — Democrat, Judiciary Committee chairman and lifelong Batman fan — has a cameo in the film and gets to be held at knifepoint by Heath Ledger’s Joker.

Bam! Kapow! Biff!

“No matter what they say, I don’t wear tights or a cape or a mask,” Mr. Leahy said in a phone interview. “Not that kind of movie. Not that kind of guy. My wife would have killed me.”

The 68-year-old six-term senator says he has been big on Batman since he was 4, when, one Sunday after Mass, his parents stopped at a little drugstore in Montpelier, Vt., his hometown, and bought him a comic book for 10 cents.

“I can vaguely picture it,” Mr. Leahy reminisced. “One of the scenes had Bruce Wayne down in the Bat Cave to work on the Batmobile.”

Batman became his favorite superhero because “he has no superpowers,” Mr. Leahy said. “He had to use his own brains and his own knowledge. He could have had an entirely different life. As a billionaire, he could have done anything.”

Mr. Leahy had a nonspeaking cameo in the 1997 film “Batman and Robin,” did a voice-over for the part of a governor in a Batman cartoon, and wrote the prefaces for a “Batman” anthology and a Batman comic book about the danger of land mines. Once he was spotted doing wheelies on his grandson’s toy Batmobile down the long marble hall outside his Senate office.

He donates all Batman earnings to the children’s wing of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier. Mr. Leahy, who is legally blind in one eye, said that his daily trips to the library, then in a basement, made him a precocious reader as a child. On Saturday, the movie will have its premiere at the library, which will receive the proceeds from a reception and 350 tickets being sold to the screening, at $50 apiece.

The filming of Mr. Leahy’s scene in a Chicago restaurant last summer took “all night long,” he said. Mr. Ledger would “punch or throw me halfway across the room,” and Mr. Leahy was propped up by another actor “with an arm like an oak tree” who was “brandishing a gun in my face.”

It took the senator a couple dozen tries before he got his line right.

“We tried it two different ways — one was authoritative, the other one was with a lot of fear in my voice,” Mr. Leahy said. Ultimately, he was directed to act like the prosecutor he once was, with a take-charge attitude.

So how did Mr. Leahy manage to find his character’s motivation? Was he thinking of Vice President Dick Cheney, who in 2004 used profanity to curse Mr. Leahy on the Senate floor?

“No, I wasn’t visualizing Dick Cheney,” Mr. Leahy said. “They can’t use that dialogue in a PG-13 movie.”

Wham!

I love young Heath so it was all a real treat for me,except for the exiting builing scene,simply cannot bear that.

I also found it surprising ,in a very good way that we saw more of the BBM intimate, tender love scenes in this programme, than we did when Bravo showed the whole movie !!!!  Hats off to them for showing some guts there.I did not get the feeling it was done for sensationalism either,Was sad no mention of Candy though.

Hey, Carolina, thanks for the great INT images!  :)

I have seen the film, but I hadn't seen all of those stills, I think. I watched the film in the cinema on January 21, and my euphoria over how absolutely mesmerizing and unique I thought it was, and how fantastic I thought Heath (and Cate, and Michelle) were, turned to something entirely else the very next day - and that big-dipper kind of feeling still impacts my memory of the film.

Nope, personally I don't think that constitutes a spoiler!  :) I think a person would have had to live as a reclusive hermit in a cave deep in the woods for the last 3/4 year or so not to be aware of the Joker's makeup and its deteriorating status throughout the film - and also that the character's psychological status is not that of a balanced and kindly Sunday School Teacher. I mean, even if one doesn't specifically seek out reviews and articles, and don't watch clips and trailers, the scariest Joker images and that laughter or its visual representations have been *everywhere* - all sort of magazine and papers have sported him over and over and again, and he's all over the net, in the unlikeliest places.

So no, personally I think something would have to be more specific, detailed and plot-revealing than that to be counted a spoiler.

Which basically is my way of saying;  though I appreciate the new threads that have been set up, and I do sincerely appreciate everyone making an effort to not reveal specific spoilers and plot details, I don't think we should tie ourselves in knots over whether or not any sort of Joker reference is a spoiler. Our best efforts and common sense will be good enough! So IMO, your posting that in this thread is OK, BelAir!  :)

(Though I of course defer to our lovely mods for the final say-so).  :-*


Wow, interesting interview with the BAtman-crazed Senator, Leslie. Thank you for posting that!

I read the following part, and I've of course seen the clip where the Senator utters the line in question to the Joker, and I wondered: Does this then actually mean that Heath had to film that part of the scene upwards of 24 times?!?  :o Amazing how they manage to do that....

The amoeba who wrote this piece needs to be put out of his misery.If he was here right now I would gladly do it.Heath ledger was carried by Gyllenhaal. !!!!!   Is  he mad, on drugs or both.The films main line is Gyllenhaals "i wish I knew how to quit you"  What about "if you can't fix it you gotta stand it"

I am hopping mad.

James Dean,conjured an aura that transcended acting, Heath never did. So all the rave reviews of Heath as Enis ,the most incredible one by the author herself, who says Heath became Ennis,none of that counted.Heath categorically transcended acting and unless every reviewer of TDK is wrong he has done it again.
Even in Candy, he ceased to be Heath.
Oh I am so mad I have to go or I will start using less than ladylike language.

 So in order to more or less make this post on topic... let me say I'm hoping TDK will turn out to have the same kind of topical and psychological relevance that that old story once did, despite the state-of-the-art costumes and huge action scenes and explosions and cool props. Several reviewers have pointed to the film being a serious and relevant commentary to the "war on terror" and on the difficulties for the "Good guys" in holding on to their ideals and their human decency and their rules and to remain standing on moral high ground while facing an enemy who is entirely unpredictable, who is amoral and cruel and seemingly will stop at nothing.

It will be interesting to see know whether the film comes across that way, and what it has to say.

And if it works as that kind of contemporary analysis, then I will be ever so much easier in my mind about Heath taking on the Joker role too.

After all, it would not have been possible to make "Schindler's List" without someone being willing to take on the role of the horrid Amon Goeth.... Someone has to play the bad guy, and do so believably.

Also, "Lord of Dogtown." Double duh.

Now I have been treated to my lovely morning Heath, I am still hopping mad.Even the actors who worked with Heath commented on how he dissapeared and then came back as the character.One was so terrified of him as the joker they forgot their lines,cant remember who,might have been Michael Caine.
His comment about the  "I wish I knew how to quit you" whether you consider it camp classic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  or a wrenching cry from the heart .Seems to indicate to me that the guy was a raging homophobe. WTF is camp about anything to do with BBM unless of course you are talking about the tents !!!!!
If there is anything camp about it, then I am obviously both blind, deaf and so stupid it is amazing I am potty trained.

But the real deal breaker for me was him saying ,we only get to see Heath's performance because that of Gyllenhaals allowed us to.That is beyond insulting.He must be taking the pi-s surely. Or he bought one of those on line degrees.

I guess his review of TDK will be that we only get to see Heath's performance via that of Bale.

I think Jake's performance was beautiful and played to perfection, but Heath as always became the character.I like Jake but he always looks like Jake to me.When it comes to Heath, because of his extraordinary ability, I never see him, only the character.Even when he was still with us, critics the world over praised his performances.

Also the guy's description of the 4 feathers revealed some racism, he totally missed the point.Not surprising really as he is obviously a moron.The sub plot, which you need a brain with at least a couple of functioning neurones to discover, is a story of courage and love.Both for your fellow man, your country and a woman. It really had very little to do with fighting Islam.That was the surface plot, which allowed the far more intense ad revealing sub plots to develop.

He then says Heath gave his most inventive performance as Casanova ??????   Now I loved Casanova, as Heath looked wonderful and I began to see he had a really light comedic touch.I do not think it was his best performance though.Even Heath himself said, he took on the role as a break from the draining BBM.
Then moron  man continues with, "at last comfortable with his good looks"  "and more confident about his intelligence," re Casanova----

Garbage. !!!!!!  Heath did everything he could to get away from the pretty boy image.I also never think he would have been so arrogant as to consider his intelligence. He was if anything hugely embarrassed about any complements, and so painfully humble that to watch him being interviewed was at times painful.
 In one year, BBM, Casanova and Candy all came out .It is hard to imagine 3 more different roles.

Oh he hell with it, the sun must be past the yard arm somewhere in the world, I need a drink!!!!! 2 in fact one for me and one to pour over moron man.!!!!  

I am more mad than I was about the Bravo fiasco, this time it's personal !!!!

I thought the article was rather surreal and disorienting, like seeing Heath's career presented through one of those"magic mirrors" that turn all features inside out and upside down, as it were.

Thank you, MilAn for posting the link, though. It provided an excellent opportunity to try to formulate just what seemed so off...


The whole premise of the thing; - comparing Heath's and James Dean's career trajectories, seemed more than forced and the comparisons had the writer tying himself and his subject(s) in knots to prove a relevance and similarity that mostly isn't there - except alas in their untimely deaths.


The writer is of course allowed to be of the personal opinion that Jake carried BBM - but presenting it as a fact is disingenuous, to say the least. It's not in good faith and quite unreasonable in view of the scenes where Jack isn't there (notably the ending scenes), the film's nominations, and of the audiences' and critics' response to it. It really can't be taken seriously at all.

By and large, to me the article comes across as someone having lobbed this idea of a Dean/Ledger comparison on the writer as a possible topic to serve as tie-in coverage of TDK, and he's hit google in a great big hurry and serves up a mitch-match of various online opinions on Heath's films that somehow tie into the Dean topic. The research and quality assurance obviously was minimal for the repeated "First Knight" slip to pass through.

Ledger gave his most entertaining and inventive star performance as the free thinker and hedonist in the period romp Casanova, which came out right after Brokeback Mountain.
Casanova a more inventive star performance than Ennis? Oh, pull the other one.  ::) Anyone who can seriously think this, can't know much about acting (or has the world's weirdest view of what "entertaining" means.)

The Independant has a fan encounter on the set of Parnassus. Heath apparently suffered from severe back pain and was on meds for it. That's probably why he took painkillers next to his anxiety and sleep meds. :

Oh, thank you for posting that! It was an interesting (and sad  :'( ) read.

That bit about the back pain sounds entirely credible to me...  :-\

I never knew Heath had a PA who kept trailing him. That kind of thing just didn't seem like *him*, somehow. 

Somehow, this following bit was what made the most impression on me, though I do not know how a casual extra would have known this, and it may therefore be a manufactured embellishment to the tale. Still....
Quote
When he wasn't on set he was back in his hotel room reading or watching some of the Oscar-nominated movies that, as a member of the Academy, he'd be asked to vote on.
It sounds so beleivable and typically Heath thay he'd not want to be as callous and casual as those moron Academy Members who even went on record about how they didn't bother to watch Brokeback before they voted back in 2006. In contrast, and based on the whole Brokeback disappointment, I can see Heath taking his responsibility very seriously and feeling an obligation to his fellow filmmakers/actors to vote only based on performances he'd actually seen and reflected on.

Thanks for posting that article, MilAn.  If it's true, I'm glad to know a little bit more about Heath's last days doing what he loved.  I'm with Mikaela, though, in taking it with a grain of salt.  That extra is certainly a good writer and knows how to make the most of his story.  I wonder if he may have told it to someone else who then wrote it up for him.  At any rate, it just makes it all the more clear to me that Heath was tired and taking too many meds.  What a terrible price he paid for trusting too much in those meds and to his own youth and strength!  :'(

I did not find his review of Heath that negative.
What was bone chilling,  was when he writes, scarier than what the joker does to anyone on screen, is what Heath must have been doing to himself.
Now I know I will not be able to go and see the film.
I know all his co stars said he was relaxed when not in character, but what do we ever really know of what goes on in someones head.
I remember reading a rue story about a British P.O.W.  who was in Colditz,at the time if you were proved "mad" you could be sent back home.Whereapon you snapped back to sanity and off to fight the Germans again.
It was a was a dangerous game he played and after 6/12 of acting "mad", he finally succumbed to insanity. It was a chilling tale.
I am not implying ,before I get shot down in flames that Heath was mad.I do think that he missed his daughter terribly, he of his own admisssion locked himself in a room for a month to get to grips with the Jokers character and voice.
I suspect he was having enormous trouble sleeping and relaxing, plus back problems, hence the combination of meds he had.
He also seemed to have broken one of his rules in that, he liked to take on a light hearted role following a dark one.The Imaginarium does not seem to have been of that genre.
I suspect though will never know, that he was on that fine line when you will do just about anything to quiet your mind and get sme relaxation and sleep.
I have been pretty close to that myself.

Maggie Gyllenhaal on working with Heath in "The Dark Knight": 

"I think what Heath does in the movie is extraordinary and unusual and rare and special even for the most talented and experienced actors. He hits this stride where he is totally free in the movie and I think when that happens it bleeds out onto everyone around you. Acting with him, even though the scene was very scary and when I watched it was full of tension I actually had a great time working with him because anything I threw at him he would take it and threw all sorts of amazing things at me. It was what you always hope for."

Fiona, please notice the "must have."  It's speculation on the part of the author.  The only person that knows for sure what was going on in Heath's head at the time is Heath.  Period.  The rest is guesswork, and anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's.

Since we'll never know all that went on with Heath Ledger in those last couple of weeks -- or months, for that matter -- I try to put a more positive spin on things:  that Heath was doing what he loved and that he relished a challenging role.

Yes Fiona, Christian Bale also refutes the idea that Heath "messed himself up" to play the Joker.

"Personally, I find it to be a complete lack of understanding of acting. I also find it very rude to try to create some kind of sound bite for such a tragedy. The man was a complex man, a good man, but you know what? I saw him having the best time playing The Joker. He was someone who completely immersed himself in his role. As do I. But in the end of the day, he was having a wonderful time doing it; he couldn’t have been happier doing it."

Yes, that's a nice quotation from Bale, but I think it could probably be said that Bale couldn't really know all the details of what Heath was thinking/ feeling/ doing either. 

To me whether Heath was happy and fulfilled or depressed and unhappy... the tragedy is the same.  If Heath was depressed, stressed and desparate on some level... does that speak less of him or make the tragedy any different than if he was happy up to the last minute?  Again, to me either way the tragedy is a tragedy in equal measure.  If he was depressed or stressed, there's no need to think of that in a judgmental way or to think that type of suggestion when thinking about his situation implies a judgment. Good and wonderful people go through crisises all the time. We can hope that Heath was happy and fulfilled in everything he was doing, but just like the more negative scenario, none of us know that for sure beyond hopeful thinking.

That is a very good way of summing it all up.I guess selfishly it seems easier to bear if he was having the time of his life before the tragedy.It is still no less a tragedy.I just  want for him to have been happy right to the end.It is what I would want for anyone I cared about.It is also the reason that last thing at ight or before anyone in the family going anywhere, I insist we say we love each other.

The critic does not seem to know which way to swing either.He at some points seems very derogatory, and yet admits he can't take his eyes off Heath on the screen.That to me would indicate a mesmerising performance.

He also comments on Heath trying to find the center of a character, without a dream of finding one. Surely that is the whole point of the joker.He is a psychopath, therefore by definition not merely immoral, but actually amoral. He can not respond to any human actions as he is on the verge of being completely inhuman.
If we as humans, are to some extent defined by our ability to distinguish right from wrong and are thus capable of cognitive thought processes, the joker must be seen as human only in the physical form he takes. He would therefore have no center.
Is that not why psychopaths are so bone chillingly terrifying.We cannot cajole, reason or coerce them back on to the road of humanity,with their non existant morals, no act is too barbaric or perverse.
To me all the critic has done is further emphasize the sheer audacity and brilliance of Heath's performance.

It was never going to be a comedic light hearted romp through Gotham, with the title, the DARK knight.

The reporter said there is a bittersweet vibe among the fans lined up outside.  Heath's family is there because "they wanted to honor his last completed work," but they didn't walk through the main entrance, which is not the red carpet tonight, but the black carpet.  :-\

They didn't say.  But I would suspect the latter.  The fact that Heath's death (and the stuntman's) looms large over the whole enterprise is undeniable, but I think it would be kind of a trivial way of paying respect to him.

Yes, I agree.  On the one hand, if it was a black carpet for Heath it could be taken as a nice gesture, but in another way it could almost be taken as a gimmick or sort of playing up his passing in a sort of uncomfortable way.  I could see it being interpreted either way.

Heath Ledger and Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan’s new Batman movie.

by David Denby
July 21, 2008

(....)

Yet “The Dark Knight” is hardly routine—it has a kicky sadism in scene after scene, which keeps you on edge and sends you out onto the street with post-movie stress disorder. And it has one startling and artful element: the sinister and frightening performance of the late Heath Ledger as the psychopathic murderer the Joker. That part of the movie is upsetting to watch, and, in retrospect, both painful and stirring to think about.

“The Dark Knight,” which was directed by Christopher Nolan (who also made “Batman Begins”) and written by Nolan and his brother Jonathan, is devoted to perversity. Bruce Wayne, attempting to bring order to Gotham City, has instead provoked the thugs. The mob is running rampant, and they’ve infiltrated the police department. The Joker, who doesn’t care for money and wants only the power to sow chaos, intimidates everyone, including the gangsters. Wayne and the noble Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) decide to get behind the new D.A., Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), and set him up as Gotham’s crime-fighting hero. Batman even thinks of retiring. But the Joker won’t let him; he needs him, as someone to play with. An anarchist by philosophy, the Joker uses terrorist methods (bombs, bombs, bombs), and he has an enormous advantage over the principled Batman—he’s ruthless. So the Joker taunts and giggles, and Batman can only extend his wings.

It’s a workable dramatic conflict, but only half the team can act it. Christian Bale has been effective in some films, but he’s a placid Bruce Wayne, a swank gent in Armani suits, with every hair in place. He’s more urgent as Batman, but he delivers all his lines in a hoarse voice, with an unvarying inflection. It’s a dogged but uninteresting performance, upstaged by the great Ledger, who shambles and slides into a room, bending his knees and twisting his neck and suddenly surging into someone’s face like a deep-sea creature coming up for air. Ledger has a fright wig of ragged hair; thick, running gobs of white makeup; scarlet lips; and dark-shadowed eyes. He’s part freaky clown, part Alice Cooper the morning after, and all actor. He’s mesmerizing in every scene. His voice is not sludgy and slow, as it was in “Brokeback Mountain.” It’s a little higher and faster, but with odd, devastating pauses and saturnine shades of mockery. At times, I was reminded of Marlon Brando at his most feline and insinuating. When Ledger wields a knife, he is thoroughly terrifying (do not, despite the PG-13 rating, bring the children), and, as you’re watching him, you can’t help wondering—in a response that admittedly lies outside film criticism—how badly he messed himself up in order to play the role this way. His performance is a heroic, unsettling final act: this young actor looked into the abyss.

you know, because of Imaginarium, I get a tad annoyed when reviewers refer to TDK as Heath's "final act" - does anyone else feel this way?

I guess it will be interesting [among other things] to see how much screen time Heath actually ends up having in Imaginarium.

I was very moved by Verne Troyers interview on the E! special.

---

as pertains to one other of Denby's comments,

I have avoided giving my 2 cents [I think] about how playing the Joker may have affected Heath...  I guess I can't help but think about the open space between what we believe to be true and what we know to be true.  Everyone "close" to Heath seems to feel he was unaffected by it.  Now most of these people are also in the movie with him, and I guess you could argue it's somehow better for the movie if they say that as the party line.  (I think you could make the perverse counter argument too, though.)  I guess I choose to believe those that 'knew' him, vs. those that merely speculate after watching the movie...  Verne Troyer (and Christopher Plummer) describe some pretty adverse working conditions in London... Heath himself has said that for him the movie making comes between "action and cut," that once filming is done, he moves on...  He's played some pretty intense roles previously (Sonny, Ennis) and had no residual 'problems' from it... 

So, I guess, my opinion (always subject to change), is that while Heath had problems just like the rest of us, I don't really think The Joker contributed to them.

I was very moved by Verne Troyers interview on the E! special.

Here's that in two parts on youtube for anyone who missed it. Very sweet.

I am so worried now about my boys going to see this movie.They are so excited they are couning down the days, but the more I read the more psychologically disturbing it seems to be.
My oldest is nearly 15 but he is disturbed enough without giving him any other ideas.
It would seem That Heaths' performance as the joker is a real tour de force. I will not be able to watch it for some time.Ditto the imaginarium, whenever that debuts, assuming it still will.
The closer the day of general release comes, the more upset I become.Also the more worried about my 12 year old going to see it.I think I am going to have to resign myself to a tantrum from him and just put my foot down.

I don't have kids, so don't have much footing in terms of weighing in on the matter, but I think short of preventing your children from seeing it... honestly is always the best policy right?  Your husband is going with right?  Maybe you guys can all go out for ice cream (or whatever) after it and talk about what you think/feel?

I remember my mom wouldn't let me see Dirty Dancing when it first came out b/c of the abortion content.  I did of course eventually see it at a friends house - where her mom fast forwarded through the scenes she thought were inappropriate.  In reality, I don't know that my mom was really 'protecting' me from much of anything...  (I knew what abortion was, etc.)  Granted, the two movies are entirely different genres.

Now I did read some pretty seedy novels as a youngster that I wish in hindsight I hadn't read... 

And I remember wanting to read or see a special on child abuse that my dad ABSOLUTELY refused to let me watch (in his quiet, Ennis way).  And I am glad for that.

Maybe it would be helpful to talk with your sons about the anticipated darkness of the movie?  Or are they like "yeah mom, whatever"?

Thanks for your input, it is much appreciated. I have discussed TDK  at length with both of them. The younger one just says it's not real is it,I am only scared when it is someting that could really happen.The older one will watch it come what may. In many ways I am more concerned about him. He has such dark thoughts anyway, and I suspect he will get the undertones and implications.
If I had been warned in advance, how difficult this parenting thing is, I might have given it a miss.
I am gong to suggest to my husband that we skip the 12.01am showing, and buy new ones for a day show.That way my daughter an I could go shopping, meet up with them after the film for an ice cream or drink. The boys could then air their opinions so get it all out in the open.But most of all we would be leaving the cinema and mall in daylight.
So once again thanks, that was a really good suggestion of yours. I am going to stick my foot down about the midnight showing.They would arrive in the dark, leave in the dark and then go to bed.

The meeting up for an icecream and discussion in the daylight is a much better idea.

It's so good when you get someone elses perspective. I keep trying to explain to my husband this site is so much more than a BBM appreciation society. Finally he has had to agree, as the suggestion made by BelAir had not even been considered by either of us.It also allowed me to expand the idea, as obviously if we are  all going to meet up for ice cream after, it would be a daytime show, which I think is much less scary.I think the effects of the film,if there are any, will dissipate much quicker in daylight.

So as you say 2 heads etc.

We booked online yesterday and all the cinemas in our area still had availability.Just out of interest I checked te 12.00am showing and that still had availability which really surprised me.
We have an annual film festival here in Sarasota so movies are pretty popular.However there was an article in one of te papers last week which said Sarasota/Bradenron were the worst hit cities in Florida re the recession and Florida was probably the worst hit state. So maybe people just cannot justify the expense.
So the boys are all booked for Saturday, andme and daughter will potter round the Mall.

I watched the E! True Hollywood Story last night. I agree with everything that has been said about it.

I loved this tidbit about young Heath, shared by his friend Melissa from Sweat (paraphrasing): when it became clear that Sweat wouldn't get a second season, everybody was a bit down and concerned about what they'd do now, but when Heath learned about it, his reaction was "Great, I'm gonna get to do something new!"

And Vincent Fantauzzo's soft-spoken words stick also out to me. As much as I didn't like the portrait at the beginning, as much I like the artist from what I've read about him and from interviews. He seems to be such a kind and gentle person.


Overall, the E! story was really not bad and I'm happy I was able to see it on youtube. Made me sad, of course, and I was short of skipping the last part.

I loved the part where someone said, can't rememember who, that Heath was shouting her name down the road, and he was living in I guess not the best house, she then asks if he is O.K  and he is so excited saying yeah great there's about 10 of sharing here.!!!

From IMDB today (http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0262911/ (http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0262911/)). It's a kind of summary of various reviews of TDK, therefore I thought I'd also post it here (crossposted on the TDK thread in the Heath Remembrance Forum).

I added blank lines to make it more reader-friendly and bolded the parts about Heath.


With the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight opening in thousands of theaters at midnight tonight or at 6:00 a.m. on Friday, newspapers throughout the country have made room for early reviews. Almost without exception they are raves.

Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times gives it a rare -- for him -- four stars, writing, that it "is a haunted film that leaps beyond its origins and becomes an engrossing tragedy. It creates characters we come to care about. That's because of the performances, because of the direction, because of the writing, and because of the superlative technical quality of the entire production."

Kenneth Turan in the Los Angeles Times observes that director Christopher Nolan does not make a big to-do over the film's formidable special effects and action sequences. "This is powerful, propulsive filmmaking in which elements that must have taken an eternity to set up stay on screen no longer than they absolutely need to," he remarks.
Claudia Puig in USA Today piles on the superlatives. "The Dark Knight is a more thrilling, intelligent, morally complex and masterfully crafted film than any summer blockbuster in recent years. It's probably the best superhero movie to date," she says.

Every critic marvels at the performance of the late Heath Ledger in the role of The Joker. "Ledger is so horrifically riveting you can't take your eyes off of him," comments Joe Neumaier in the New York Daily News. Even the Washington Post's Stephen Hunter, who is one of the few critics who has found faults with the film, writes that Ledger's performance is memorable. "It's a subtle, nuanced piece of acting so powerful it banishes all memories of the handsome Aussie behind it," he writes. "Ledger's work is improbably droll, impossibly creepy, meticulously detailed," comments Michael Phillips in the Chicago Tribune, who also awards the film four stars.

And Amy Biancolli concludes in the Houston Chronicle: "Heath Ledger died too young, leaving behind performances as faceted, brilliant and few as a handful of diamonds. His final gem is no less radiant for being pitch black."

I finally got a chance to watch the E! True Hollywood story about Heath, and I actually thought it was great, very satisfying, very positive, even kind of insightful.  I'm going to write them a thank you note.

How can it be that the more we find out about Heath, the MORE wonderful he turns out to be?

I think he was (hate writing in past tense) one of those very few genuinely nice humans.The sort of person who has no airs or graces about them and also quite unusually for a star was almost like the boy next door. He seemed to have the ability to connect with others from all walks of life.There was no side to him.

I'm watching the E! thing on Heath again, this time on YouTube - thank you again, whiskeyspring! - and a few things that catch my eye:

Heath whistling "If I Only Had a Heart" (on pitch, not an easy song) while wearing his Knight's Tale armor, saying he's the Tinman from Wizard of Oz.

Naomi Watts saying about her role in Ned Kelly, "It was a very small part for me [she was a fairly big star back then], and I did it to go home to Australia, and [looks away] to work with that cast."  Made me wonder if she took the part to be near Heath, before they got together.

A film clip of him sitting up on Brokeback with the two blue heelers, totally massaging the closer dog's head and neck, attentive to see if the dog was enjoying it.  

During the "you look at death differently once you're a parent" interview, the I'm Not There poster behind him is deliberately blurred.  I wasn't certain at first, til a moment when his elbow goes in front of the poster, an then his elbow is blurred too.  I wonder why.

The juxtaposition of four quotes - two things he says in separate interviews, (these are not verbatim, but from my memory) "I feel like my whole life is leading up to this moment"  and "I don't regret anything, because if you change any one thing in the past, I wouldn't be where I am now," and the juxtaposition of two things said about him, "He was present in the moment" and "he was ready to move to the next thing."  The basic way of life those all describe is actually incredibly evolved.

Annie Proulx, "I think Heath Ledger should change his last name to "Legend," he's extraordinary."  I don't think she's usually given to hyperbole, do you?  :)

hi guys,

I have posted some comments about TDK on some other threads, but wanted to share a few comments here re: the violence of the movie. 

First of all, there is no blood.  There is lots of death by explosion - i.e. you see things get blown up and know/assume people are inside.  There is also death by stabbing.  But you don't see the blood or 'the knife going in.'  I was worried enough that I MIGHT see something that I thought about having my hands on my face so I could cover my eyes at a moment's notice (never actually had to).  There is lots of gunfire too.  But still no blood. 

There are some VERY VERY chilling scenes, imo.

As a comparison with the Bourne movies, I think the level of what you see is similar.  But it's much more dark in TDK...  And in Bourne, it's mostly violence against bad people, and that's not the case in TDK.

Hopefully, that helps all who have questions, and doesn't give away too much. 

Let me know if you guys want clarification or think I'm giving away too much in the post.

PS - There were people in the theater that would laugh when one bad guy shot another bad guy...  WTF?

I thought maybe it had to do with who they acquired the interview from?  i.e. maybe it just wasn't a very good recording to start with. 

'the rights' thing is probably the most practical answer.

from the Variety review:

After Ledger's death in January, his penultimate performance (with Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" still to come) will be viewed with both tremendous excitement and unavoidable sadness. It's a tribute to Ledger's indelible work that he makes the viewer entirely forget the actor behind the cracked white makeup and blood-red rictus grin, so complete and frightening is his immersion in the role. With all due respect to the enjoyable camp buffoonery of past Jokers like Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson, Ledger makes them look like ... well, clowns.

Hi Heathens btw, I've been an occasional lurker on this thread for a few months.

Hi there Whiskeyspring, and a big thank you for posting these links.

I've just watched the entire program and I am very glad that I did, because overall it was respectful and decent.... and with *so* many interesting and illuminating and lovely interview snippets and other clips with Heath... I'm still in love with his voice and the Australian accent.  And that smile!! And the glint in the eyes!

*sigh*

I actually thought many of the interview clips had been blurred, particularly at the beginning - not just the INT one. I thought perhaps they'd done that so as to not distract from him - but i'm not sure what might have been in the background that could have been distracting. I agree that the "I'm not There" text might have felt... uncomfortable in the circumstances.

What I didn't like, was that they used numerous pap pics of Matilda while simultaneously going on about how invaded Heath felt by the paps, and what a lot of discomfort and unease they created in his life.

I also thought it a bit shoddy that they pretty much seemed to indicate Michelle was the one who broke up the relationship and was responsible for "depriving" Heath of his daughter...... they can't know what happened, and even if they were to know, somehow, they had no business making TV entertainment out of it. It takes two to not manage to make a relationship work, so I'm not buying that other angle, however much I love and admire Heath. He wasn't more than human and I'm pretty sure it must have been quite intense and quite challenging to make everyday life work for them.


---

BelAir, thank you very mush for keeping your promise about posting your impressions of the violence types and magnitude in TDK. I much appreciate your comments.  :)

I'm actually still entirely undecided about whether to go see the film. I feel I'm all hyped out.   :-\

The many positive reviews I've read via Rottentomatoes seem to be writtten mostly by men with poorly hidden techno-geek-boys inside and a huge penchant for plots that go Booom.

I am very glad I am seeing TDK at 9am in the morning - it will be hours before I go to sleep that night.  I am dreading the horror I'm hearing about, but very grateful to know that for the most part, it's buildup, not overt grossness.

But I am so excited too - and am trying to remember what Heath said, and this I think I am remembering verbatim, "It's the most fun I've ever had in a part - probably the most fun I ever will have."  He loved it and had fun with it, that's the spirit I am hoping to enjoy it in.

Plus I'm going to be with LauraGigs and Lynne, which will be very comforting, I think.  :)

I wrote a more detailed review over on the remembrance forum spoilers thread but for my fellow Heathens...

1) Heath is great.
2) It's a comic book movie. The violence didn't bother me because it was either off screen or so over the top as to be ridiculous. Folks might disagree with me but really...this is not a movie that will be keeping me up at night. In fact, by tomorrow, I'll probably start forgetting parts of it...which leads to...
3) I am mystified why this is getting such glowing reviews. It is good but I don't think it is that great. Is it the fact that Heath died and everyone is heaping praise on it? Or the timing is perfect (what other halfway decent movie has come out in the past 4 months? Oh, right, Wall-E.)?

It was fun to see this on opening day and I am glad I did, but I really don't think I'll be rushing back to the theater for multiple repeat viewings.

A bit of trivia: the theater emergency system went off and we had to evacuate...right at a very exciting point. In all of my movie going years (spanning half a century, now) I have never ever had to evacuate a theater. So...big movie on opening day and I got to spend 45 minutes in the parking lot looking at fire trucks. I'll probably remember that more than the movie.

Heath Ledger to be honoured for contribution to Australian film industry
By Bonnie Malkin in Sydney

Heath Ledger is to be posthumously honoured for his contribution to the Australian film industry at the Brisbane International Film Festival next month.

The Perth-born actor will be given the 2008 Chauvel Award in recognition of his dedication to Australian cinema.

Rod Welford, the Queensland arts minister, said Ledger was an obvious choice because he supported the local entertainment industry throughout his career.

Ledger made his film debut in Australian production Blackrock and also played the lead role in acclaimed Australian drama Two Hands.

Speaking at the program launch for the Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF), Mr Welford said: "Over the years, there have been many others who have drawn focus to the Australian film industry either through their own personal achievements in their field or their consistent and staunch support for Australian film-making."

"Heath Ledger did both, and his passing highlighted how loved and revered he was - not just by fans, but by the Australian film-making community."

It will be the first time in the award's 16-year history that it will be granted posthumously.

The award presentation will take place in August. It will include interview footage and film material from Ledger's career.

Friends and colleagues of the deceased actor are expected to attend the ceremony.

Previous recipients of the award, named after Queensland film pioneers Charles and Elsa Chauvel, include director George Miller and actors Geoffrey Rush and Bryan Brown.

Ledger, 28, died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in a New York apartment in January.

He is hotly tipped to win a posthumous Oscar for his role as the Joker in Batman sequel Dark Knight.

I just got back from TDK and I don't want to give away a thing, but I just had to say that it completely lives up to the hype.  I thought I would be distracted by Heath's death the whole time, but I wasn't at all.  I think that says so much about how he lost himself in this role.  Everyone has been saying that you can't see any of Heath in his performance, but I didn't know just how true that would be.  It was only after the movie ended that this extreme sadness came over me in remembering that Heath won't be able to enjoy any of the well-deserved adulation.  With every review I read and coverage I see pertaining to the movie, it makes me almost angry that Heath can't experience all this praise.  And yes, people would absolutely be raving about this performance just as much if Heath were still alive, no doubt, I don't understand when people say otherwise.

Thank you everybody who reports their experiences with TDK. I avoided posting TDK pics for my daily Heath pic until now, but since it opened yesterday I chose this one for today's Heath pic. Living in Europe, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I believe to catch a very brief glimpse of Heath in this scene from the trailer. It's the thingie he does with his hands.

Like a family: Heath Ledger's ex-fiancee, daughter and lifelong friend
By JAMES TAPPER
Last updated at 12:08 AM on 20th July 2008

The former fiancee of actor Heath Ledger has struck up a close friendship with the late star’s best friend.

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/Ellemeno_2006/article-1036520-0202C06600000578-27.jpg)

Australian Trevor Di Carlo, who grew up with Ledger, has been comforting Michelle Williams at her New York home, six months after the actor died of a drug overdose.

The pair have been seen eating out together and taking strolls around Brooklyn, with Di Carlo, 29, wheeling two-year-old Matilda, the daughter of Ledger and Williams, in her pushchair.

News of their friendship follows reports that Williams, 27, is planning a court action to win a slice of Ledger’s £7million estate for Matilda.

Ledger’s performance as The Joker in new Batman movie The Dark Knight has been tipped to earn him a posthumous Oscar nomination.

But sources at Warner Bros say they fear any legal battle over the will might affect his chances of winning.

Two days after attending the film’s premiere in New York last week, Di Carlo appeared to be very relaxed when he answered the door to Williams’s home wearing only a pair of khaki shorts.

He refused to comment on their relationship, saying ‘No, sorry’, then shut the door.

One neighbour said: ‘I don’t see them go out often. When they do go out, I see them at a small pizza restaurant.

Great performance: Ledger's role in the new Batman film has been tipped to earn him a posthumous Oscar nomination

'People are very protective of her in the neighbourhood.’

Di Carlo’s mother Dianne has been reported in Australian newspapers as saying: ‘Michelle and he are the best of friends.

'It is a very special time for him to be with Matilda.’

Ledger had known Di Carlo since they were both three-year-olds in Perth in Western Australia.

Sources at Warner Bros fear any legal battle over Ledger's will may affect his chances of success at the Academy Awards

When Ledger travelled to Sydney at 16 to try his luck as an actor, Di Carlo went with him.

In 2005, after his success in Brokeback Mountain, Ledger moved to New York and gave Di Carlo his prized £25,000 1975 VW Kombi van.

Di Carlo is believed to have visited Ledger in New York after the actor met Williams in 2004 when they were playing a married couple in Brokeback Mountain.

Matilda was born in October 2005, but the couple split last September.

Ledger was linked with models Helena Christensen and Gemma Ward and actress Mary-Kate Olsen.

But friends said he took the split with Williams very badly.

While making his last film, The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus, he spoke a lot about Matilda.

Director Terry Gilliam’s wife Maggie said: ‘It was very, very hard for him.’

After his death, aged 28, in January, Williams said: ‘My heart is broken. Matilda will be brought up with the best memories of him.’

She has denied reports of a rift with Ledger’s parents and three sisters who are the beneficiaries of his will.

Ledger drew up the will before Matilda was born, and under Western Australian law she will be entitled to a share.

But Williams must file a claim before August 11.

Hunderd thousand dollar tractors and shit


Heath Ledger's uncle, Haydn Ledger, arrested for stolen goods.

Haydn Ledger has been arrested for stealing tractors and a tomahawk in Perth, Australia. Haydn Ledger, the late Heath Ledger's uncle, is the brother of Heath's Dad, who is named Kim Ledger.

Haydn Ledger was charged with receiving stolen goods when 3 bobcat tractors worth more than $100,000 were found parked outside his office. These tractors were earlier reported missing and stolen from a building site and a contractor's yard.

Uncle Haydn had been in the news earlier in 2008 when he accused Kim Ledger for mismanaging Heath Ledger's trust fund. Kim Ledger has denied his claim.

The late Heath Ledger's last completed movie, “The Dark Knight”, premiered in US on Friday, July 18, 2008.

On location: The Joker's voice, born in Chicago



http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwecker/1052964,SHO-Sunday-zwecker13.article

July 13, 2008 Recommend (11)
BY BILL ZWECKER Sun-Times Columnist
Without question, Heath Ledger didn't go out of his way to seek publicity while in Chicago last summer filming ''The Dark Knight,'' but the actor was not exactly a hermit, either.

Especially when he first hit town in late May, 2007, the Australian actor spent quite a few evenings checking out a wide range of restaurants and nightspots in what turned out to be a kind of listening tour related to his character, the Joker.

''Always before, Heath's visits to Chicago were extremely brief -- mainly flying in for a day or two, to do press for one of his films,'' said Jim Hardy, a New York filmmaker and friend of Ledger and former girlfriend Michelle Williams who met the couple when they lived near him in their Brooklyn neighborhood.

''When Heath learned he would be spending a good bit of time in Chicago filming the 'Batman' movie, he asked me and anyone else who knew about the city where to go to eat and fun things to do when he wasn't working.''

Though he often would fly back to New York to see his infant daughter Matilda on his days off, Ledger did manage to hang his hat in a number of Windy City watering holes.

''Hang his hat'' is probably not the best phrase to use describing Ledger, as the actor -- when out in public -- would rarely doff one of the two chapeaux he often donned: a dark-colored (usually brown or gray) wool knit cap pulled down to his eyes or a jaunty, retro-looking fedora, often worn with oversized sunglasses.

Bareheaded or not, Ledger managed to check out more than a few popular eateries and clubs in the Gold Coast, River North and Streeterville neighborhoods while ensconced in Chicago last summer, creating the role many think will win him a posthumous Oscar next February.

A quiet kind of guy
Shortly after hitting town, Ledger was sighted on several occasions at Sound-Bar and Cabaret, also making a point to check out Billy Dec's Underground nightclub, which was just hitting its stride. Though sometimes accompanied by members of ''The Dark Knight'' crew, he rarely was seen partying with fellow cast members.

Co-star Christian Bale told the Sun-Times recently, ''He was a wonderful man and great company to be with. I wouldn't say we became great chums or anything like that .... Heath struck me as a very private man and I respected him greatly. I'm always a bit suspicious -- especially on a film set -- when someone tries to become your instant pal. Heath was the kind of person who took friendship seriously, but let it evolve and grow slowly .... That's the best way.''

And there isn't much evidence for rumors about Ledger's activities on location. ''Despite all the rumors about him being a big stoner and doing drugs, I never saw that,'' said a "Dark Knight" production staffer who requested his name not be used. "We'd get out for a beer or two, but often Heath would not even drink something that strong. I saw him on a couple of occasions only drink club soda all night long.

''He was a great listener, and unlike a lot of actors with big egos, he would listen to what you had to say and seemed really interested in our lives.''

Aaron Eckhart, who plays Harry Dent/Two-Face in ''The Dark Knight,'' also admitted that he and Ledger didn't socialize in Chicago. ''But then, I was kind of a loner myself [while in town], and really enjoyed just reading in that little park across from McCormick & Schmick's [Connors Park] or swimming in the lake or going for a run.

''Plus given the nature of our roles, I think Heath and I both knew instinctively that we needed to keep ourselves apart during filming .... Besides, I think he's the kind of guy who related more to the crew, rather than other actors. Heath was so down-to-earth and natural. I think he related best to other people who really work for a living."

Accent action
According to director Christopher Nolan and others who worked on ''The Dark Knight,'' a key reason Ledger even went out in public in Chicago was to help create the voice he wanted for ''the Joker.'' The actor told associates he felt the character required a ''flat, Midwestern or Chicago accent ... somewhat nasal and even a bit effeminate.''

It was all part of the back story he and Nolan informally constructed for the Joker, reflecting the psychological damage done to the twisted criminal when he was a child being badly abused by his horribly cruel alcoholic father.

Even Chicago resident Jenny Berger, an administrative assistant for a large investment firm and self-avowed ''huge movie fan,'' learned about the ''accent thing'' straight from Ledger himself.

Berger spied Ledger drinking coffee in the Oak Tree restaurant in the 900 N. Michigan Ave. shopping mall last June. ''We were sitting at tables next to each other -- way in the back. I quietly introduced myself and told him how much I loved 'Brokeback Mountain.'

''He was totally gracious and very cool .... As we got to talking, he said, 'You're not from Chicago, are you?' I admitted I was originally from Boston. That led to a discussion of accents, and he told me he was carefully listening to Chicagoans -- because that was the accent he wanted for the Joker.''

Covering territory
Among places Ledger was seen -- perhaps part of his ear-tuning for that accent -- was Bloomingdale's, though he also scooped up quite a few outfits there for his little girl. Ledger also shopped at Neiman Marcus, the Gap and Macy's. Among the restaurants the actor frequented during his three-month stay in Chicago were SushiSamba Rio (seen wearing a Western shirt reminiscent of his ''Brokeback Mountain'' role), Rockit Bar, the Weber Grill (he loved the burgers there) and Brazzaz.

Ledger also made at least one foray into the Greektown neighborhood on South Halsted and a crew member claimed he took the actor down to Chinatown as well.

Before the ill-fated star left Chicago -- for the final time, as it sadly turned out -- in early September, he finished his ''tour'' of Chicago restaurants at Carnivale, spending his last night in Chicago playing poker until the wee hours.

Word has it, Ledger left with a smile on his face. The Joker ended up winning big.

I don't understand what one would have to do with the other, especially when it would be an Australian legal matter and, most likely, not getting a lot of coverage in the U.S.  If anything, I think it would generate positive publicity, with most people supporting Matilda's right to benefit from her father's estate.

You know, one thing that the press coverage of the aftermath of Heath's passing has done, is crank my scepticism of anything I read in celebrity-focused media up several notches - in fact the level's at sky-high.

First there was all the nasty untrue speculation-presented-as-fact stories about what Heath alledgedly died of and his lifestyle before that, totally bogus and hurtful speculation, much of it. Then some unpleasant people earned their 15 minutes of fame telling invented and ugly stories about Heath, and finding eager mouthpieces in the "press". Then there were the incorrect stories about Jake and what he supposedly was doing in connection with the funeral and in relation to Matilda - going to Australia and what not, and later supposedly attending TDK premiere with Maggie....  And so on and on and on about Heath's alleged other secret daughter in Australia, the Ledger family in-feuding, the battles over the will, and what have you. Thinking back on the press coverage this half year, it's amazing how much stuff and nonsense has been printed - which the Ledgers and Michelle (and Jake) have had to live through.  :-\

All this was merely my intro to saying that I read the article about Heath's friend being so close to Michelle, etc. etc. that you also commented on, Fran - and I found it to be as unreliable and speculative as all the above mentioned stuff. For one thing, the image accompagnying the article was not new, I'd seen it quite a while back I think - unless the guy goes about in that same shirt every day of his life. And for another I felt the piece was written in a very insinuating way as to what's "going on". And finally, lines such as the one about the unnamed Warner Brothers "sources" coming up with issues that probably aren't real concerns at all, - to me it just seems like the journalist is making it up to give the impression of trouble and conflict where none exists. I can think of many things that could impact Heath's posthumous Oscar chances, but a possible strife over his will isn't one of them tbh.....

I think the whole article here is just a mix of old news stories, outright speculation and innuendo and invented "news" to make it on-topic for TDK.

But yeah, I really am a sceptic these days....

Heath Ledger's long journey from Perth to Hollywood comes up short




BY DAVID COHEN IN PERTH AND ETHAN SACKS IN NEW YORK   
Saturday, July 19th 2008, 4:00 AM



There are 11,625 miles and 28 years separating the shaded suburb of Perth, Australia, where Heath Ledger was born, and the downtown Manhattan loft where he was found dead on Jan. 22, but the gulf seems much wider.
 
On that afternoon, the actor's housekeeper discovered Ledger's lifeless body – the tragic result of what was later ruled by the New York City Medical Examiner as an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, including sleeping pills, pain killers and anti-depressants. Somehow, the actor whom friends, family and fellow Hollywood collaborators all describe as larger than life managed to become best known for his senseless death.
 
Ledger, who made it across the world on his looks and then overcame them with talent and the determination to avoid typecasting, left one final onscreen legacy: "The Dark Knight," the critically acclaimed superhero movie that's set to break box office records this weekend.
 
"I think he was a talented actor, who clearly had an intelligence and a curiosity to try different things and not be straight-jacketed into some Hollywood mould," said Leonard Maltin, the film historian and movie critic for "Entertainment Tonight." "I admired him for that."
 
"I would imagine that people will fall in love with Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker," said Shekhar Kapur, who became friends with Ledger after directing the then-22-year-old in 2002's "The Four Feathers."
 
Privately, Ledger confided to friends that the sinister Joker, the schizophrenic mass-murderer he plays in "The Dark Knight," represented the biggest challenge of his career.
 
"There was something about Heath that he would not ever do a part that he could not identify with, and part of his struggle must have been how do you identify with the Joker - and that must have been pretty chilling and tiring," said Kapur, who last talked to his friend by cell-phone just before Ledger went to sleep on the night of Jan. 21.
 
Thirty-one days before his death, childhood friend Jane Wishaw remembers seeing the Hollywood star for the last time at the swank Il Lido Italian Canteen on Perth's Cottesloe Beach. It was three days before Christmas, and Ledger was in town – with model Gemma Ward in tow - to surprise his mother Sally with an unexpected visit.
 
"He was very gleeful when he told me about the surprise," Wishaw said. "We talked about his family and his current roles."
 
But the upbeat Ledger grew somber when the talk turned to "The Dark Knight," which he'd finished filming.
 
"He looked a bit sad then," Wishaw says. "He was unsettled when he talked about The Joker. He seemed emotionally tired. Being away from his daughter Matilda affected him … when we talked about The Joker he went slack."
 
Gotham City, both the real and the fictional one, is on the other side of the Earth from the actor's hometown of Perth in Western Australia. A state capital of 1.5 million people, it feels more like a big country town than a big city.
Perhaps that's because it's closer to the Indonesian island of Bali than to Sydney. The last time most Americans would have heard of Perth is 25 years ago, when a boat from the city's yacht club won the America's Cup. Though the city boasts other famous actors as exports - Melissa George and Isla Fisher, a.k.a. Mrs. Borat – Heath Ledger was its favorite son.
 
The feeling was mutual.
 
Haydn Ledger, one of Heath's uncles, recalled how his daughter, Jess, and Heath would go out for a beer whenever the star was home.
 
"They're the same age and went to pubs in [inner-city] Northbridge," Haydn Ledger said. "Heath never had any money on him, but he always got a beer.
 
"Perth was a good sanctuary for him – a good hideaway. It helped we're in the most isolated city in the world."
 
There's a photo of Heath – the son of a French teacher and race car designer - in a school yearbook that friends and family say sums him up perfectly. In it the then-dashing 16-year-old is playing field hockey for Guildford Grammar School, running with the ball, his head bowed in concentration.
 
Ledger was a good student at Guildford – one of Western Australia's oldest and most exclusive private schools - for nearly ten years.
 
"He played hockey for the state and he was also a very talented cricketer," says headmaster Bob Zordan. In fact, staff members say he was good at everything he tried – especially when he turned his attention to performing. His dramatic debut was as Laertes in a school production of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
 
Shortly thereafter, Ledger got himself an agent, followed quickly by a role as a gay cyclist in a short-lived TV series called "Sweat."
 
"I remember his agonizing over whether to take that role," Zordan says. "Ultimately the opportunity proved too great to resist and he never looked back."
 
Within a couple of years Ledger was a working actor in the United States. But he never forgot his old teachers: after his first major starring Hollywood role, in "10 Things I Hate About You," he sent the school a huge framed poster of himself, complete with signature.
 
"We watched the ride with wonder, but his life was cut ridiculously short," Zordan says.

(Page 2 of 2)
Ledger never forgot his old friends after hitting the big time, either. When a fellow classmate, N'fa Forster-Jones, became a rap star, his old school buddy, Heath, came back to direct two of his music videos.
 
One Perth entertainment insider said that his quick success with "Sweat" made the young Ledger a fixture on the hard-partying scene – a dabbler in drugs.
 
"Everyone there was like that, it was young people's stuff, but he was clearly the leader of the gang," the source said.
 
Despite the drug use, Ledger seemingly could do no wrong – and showing the same drive clearly visible in the field hockey photo, he embarked on Hollywood, determined to go from the Land Down Under to the center of the movie universe.
 
Disney's head of casting, Marcia Ross, remembers vividly when Ledger, then a nobody on this side of the Pacific, first walked in to compete with hundreds of other aspiring actors at a reading for "10 Things I Hate About You," in early 1998. His only American credit to date was a TV pilot for Fox, which put him in the company of hundreds of other hopefuls. He was just shy of his 19th birthday, but he wasn't shy about much else.
 
"The thing I remember about him was that he was of course gorgeous, but not it a way you've seen before," says Ross. "He was a young guy, but he had a manly quality about him. There was a maturity about him. There was a breezy self confidence about him.
 
"You just know that's it, that no one else could play that part."
 
Ledger didn't particularly want to play that part again. After the movie came out in 1999, the Aussie actor was flooded with offers for similar teen romantic comedies. He passed. And passed. Until he got the chance to star alongside one of his childhood heroes, fellow Australian import Mel Gibson, in 2001's "The Patriot."
 
That role, as the hot-tempered son of a reluctant hero in the U.S. Revolutionary War, started the ball rolling. His next big gig was a critically-lauded supporting part in "Monster's Ball," as a death row prison guard, a performance  Variety called a "short, cold, cruel portrait of a young man with no center." In other words, it was a far cry from any of his previous screen turns, not to mention from Heath Ledger himself.
 
Ross called Ledger "a character actor trapped in a leading man's body."
 
He did accept one gig as a concession to his romantic lead looks: "A Knight's Tale," a rock n' roll medieval movie that was supposed to make him a star. Ledger was reportedly as uncomfortable making the popcorn flick as some critics were sitting through it.
 
When Kapur cast him in "The Four Feathers" after an eight-hour screen test, the Indian director best known for the "Elizabeth" movies thought the young actor had the eyes of a "wise old soul." But more importantly for fans who might think Heath Ledger was too much of a pretty boy for the Joker, he had the physicality of an action star, Kapur said.
 
"He was incredibly agile," said Kapur. "I've never seen an actor that had that kind of capacity for action. He was so quick and so athletic, and this despite the fact that he smoked a lot."
 
One of Kapur's favorite memories of Heath Ledger was during the filming of "The Four Feathers" in 2001, for a scene in which his character has to fall off a horse in the midst of twenty galloping steeds, then get up, run, and leap onto the back of another rider less horse.
 
The original plan was to shoot Ledger feigning a fall off his mount, then cut to the actor on the ground before making another quick cut. After each of those cuts, a stuntman would be filmed doing the actual dangerous work. Ledger insisted that it would be easier and look better on camera if he did the stunt himself.
 
"The guy just did it," said Kapur, still marveling to this day. "He fell off the horse, sat down, the galloping horses, the ones without riders, galloped by [him.] He then ran along the horse and then jumped on and he did it in one shot.
 
"He just jumped on. For a moment there was an absolutely stunned silence and then the whole [set] broke out in cheers."
 
After "The Four Feathers" flopped at the box office in 2002, Ledger returned to his roots to play the titular real-life Australian outlaw in "Ned Kelly." It was that film that also kindled a two-year romance with co-star Naomi Watts.
 
Ledger may have hated the Hollywood pose, but he sure loved seducing beautiful starlets. Before Watts, there was a 2001 high-profile romance with actress Heather Graham, almost ten years his senior. And later, the actor's live-in relationship with "Brokeback Mountain" co-star Michelle Williams, which produced a daughter, Matilda Rose.
 
After the breakup with Williams, Ledger either consoled himself by dating Helena Christensen, or just remained "friends" with the leggy supermodel, depending on which gossip rag one believes. The exact same innuendoes were reported at the exact same time regarding another model, Gemma Ward.
 
His dalliances made it hard for him to shake his Hollywood heartthrob image; at least until lovelorn cowboy Ennis Del Mar first rode, slump-shouldered, onto the screen in 2005's "Brokeback Mountain."
 
That proved to be the year it all came together for Ledger, starting with Terry Gilliam's quirky dark fairy tale, "The Brothers Grimm," in which he co-starred with Matt Damon. His streak continued with "Brokeback Mountain," for which Ledger was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. He capped off 2005 with a little-seen but critically-hailed turn in the title role of the period comedy "Cassanova."
 
"Up to that point I'd been in a really self-destructive mode with my career – quite intentionally, actually," Ledger had told Entertainment Weekly.
 
After all his Hollywood success, Ledger sightings were still common in Perth.
 
In 2001 he brought then-girlfriend Heather Graham home and showed her the local sights. At the speedway races south of the city, Ledger and his starlet girlfriend dined on French fries and then he impressed her further as he zoomed around the track himself. A few years later, he took Michelle Williams to the local botanical garden for a romantic walk.
 
Three years ago, Ledger and Williams eschewed Hollywood for Brooklyn, New York – settling in the nicest brownstone on a tree-lined block that's right out of the opening of the "Cosby Show."
 
Sure, there were the occasional paparazzi lurking to snap photos of the couple pushing daughter Matilda in a stroller to the oasis of gourmet cookie shops and eateries a couple of blocks away. But otherwise the couple could mingle with their fellow Brooklynites in relative anonymity – as close to "normal life" as a pair of high profile actors could possibly hope for.
 
Neighbors recall Ledger as a doting dad, and Matilda's name can still be seen etched in a concrete patch outside the family's olive green brownstone as if it were the front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
 
"This neighborhood seemed to suit his personality, which was certainly unique given his high profile," said Zach Zook, manager of the Book Court bookstore, a regular neighborhood haunt for Ledger and Williams. "He wouldn't get bothered walking down the street [like he would in Hollywood.]"
 
An avid chess player since childhood, Ledger also discovered the chess tables at Washington Square Park in Manhattan where hucksters and masters face off against upstart challengers.
 
A regular at the tables, who claimed to have played against Ledger a couple of months ago, had this to say: "It wasn't like Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson blew through the park, nobody really recognized him. He seemed like just a really nonchalant, happy go-lucky guy."
 
That happiness, however, was fleeting. Depending on whom one finds more believable – publicists or gossip magazines – Williams and Ledger broke up last September because of his philandering, his recreational drug use, the pressures of fame, or simply amicable differences.
 
Ledger moved into the SoHo loft where he would be found dead months later, and by all accounts struggled with being separated from his daughter. He threw himself into his work, casually dated at least one supermodel and loitered in the nightclub circuit.
 
The one thing he didn't do was sleep.
 
"Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told the New York Times in a now famous interview last November. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going."
 
He told the Times that he had taken a double dose of Ambien sleeping pills one night and, according to the article, "fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing."
 
That carelessness with prescription drugs would be his undoing.
 
The email alert sent out by the New York Police Department read: "ON TUESDAY, 1/22/08, AT APPROXIMATELY 1530 HOURS, IN THE CONFINES OF THE 5 PRECINCT, POLICE RESPONDED TO 421 BROOME STREET AND FOUND A M/W/28 UNCONSCIOUS. THE VICTIM WAS PRONOUNCED DOA AT THE SCENE."
 
Ledger, who shied away from the spotlight off the set, would have cringed to see the media circus he left in his wake.
 
On that day before Christmas in Perth, Jane Wishaw asked Ledger what he was going to do next.
 
"What do you suggest?" she recalled him telling her.
 
"Hercules," she replied.
 
"No way: I'm really lazy when it comes to exercise," he responded.
 
"I poked his arms and said, ‘anything's possible in the movies'," Wishaw said.
 
"We laughed, and I thought he'd come a long way from the boy who used to be told off for running through the neighbor's lawn sprinkler."
 
Exactly six weeks after that conversation, Wishaw found herself at Cottesloe Beach again, this time watching Michelle Williams, actress Rose Byrne and dozens of other mourners at Ledger's wake frolic in the surf as the sun went down.
 
Earlier, some 750 mourners at his memorial service, at a private girls school in Perth, listened to Bob Dylan's 'The Times They Are A-Changin' – the favorite song of the actor who had recently played Dylan himself in director Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There."
 
Ledger's eight-year-old half-sister Olivia was overcome by the event and had to be taken away in an ambulance.
 
"His death was so devastating on so many levels," Wishaw says, echoing the thoughts of millions.
 
Now he has just one final legacy – "The Dark Knight." Warner Brothers, buoyed by critics' unanimous praise, are reportedly planning an Oscar campaign for next year's Best Supporting Actor award.
 
"I think [his death] adds poignancy to the experience of watching any of his films from this point on, because you have to get past that barrier of forgetting his tragic death," said Maltin.
 
That may be Heath Ledger's greatest act of all.

Michelle Williams Making A Personal Movie Of Heath Ledger For Their Daughter
July 9, 2008 06:20 am CDT 
 
Michelle Williams is making a movie about Heath Ledger so their two-year-old daughter can see what her dad was really like.

The actress -- who was left devastated when her former fiance was found dead in his apartment after an accidental drug overdose in January -- wants the actor's friends and co-stars to share their stories on him so little Matilda can see her father through their eyes.

A source said: "This is incredibly important for Michelle to do. It makes Michelle's heart ache that Matilda was so young when Heath died and she's unlikely to retain any memories of her father. She wants to keep his spirit alive with something Matilda can treasure all her life."

In her first public statement in February about Heath's tragic death, Michelle expressed her grief but said Matilda was helping her cope. She said: "I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day."

Heath and Michelle met on the set of 'Brokeback Mountain' in 2004 and Matilda was born in October 2005. The couple split in September 2007.

Thanks for that, it is one interview I have not come across before.
I love it anytime I hear his wonderful voice.People talk often about his voice and of course his prodigious talent and smile and that certain something, call it X factor.
It has been niggling at the back of my mind which other actor was really well known for his deep voice,resonant, full of warm rich tones ,then it clicked,
Richard Burton.
 He was not the typical classic good looks film star, but there was something very special about him, partly his voice  his talent and again that X factor.
I wish we had been able to enjoy Heath for as long as Burton.

This is from The Daily Mail.  It's from an article on the recent Christian Bale incident, but there were some interesting details on his relationship with Heath that I thought I'd share:


The source also claimed Bale had been deeply affected by the death of Ledger, who was found dead earlier this year from an overdose of anti-depressants and sleeping tablets.

'Without Ledger around, he's found it more and more difficult to communicate with those around him, especially his family.’

It was reported he found it hard to shake off the mental strains of the role, and told an interviewer he was having trouble sleeping.

The two actors, known for being intense about their craft, formed a friendship when they both played Bob Dylan in the 2007 movie I’m Not There.

A friend said: 'Christian pretends he's calm and collected but you really started to see the cracks in his façade in January, right after Heath Ledger had died.'

'Christian was in the middle of a very brief break from work when he heard the news, and it was massive blow to him.

'They had become very close during the making of The Dark Knight and Christian went into virtual hiding for the six weeks after Heath was found dead.

‘He wasn't returning phone calls and he wasn't a happy man. It's foolish to think that he's been able to completely shake off that grief just as Heath and his work is finally being seen by audiences.

'He expected to share this moment with his friend, and now he can't.'

Heath Ledger’s Posthumous Celebrity Restaurant


By Chris Mohney July 23, 2008

Back in March, we noted the slow renovation of a restaurant on Brooklyn's Bedford Avenue into a new venture partially backed by a mystery celebrity. Via Eater we learn that Down by the Hipster has revealed the mystery backer as none other than Heath Ledger. Though Ledger's death slowed things down for obvious reasons, "his father became executor of the estate and because he knew how much the project meant to heath, he released the funds to finish construction." Interestingly, a commenter on our own post -- "shiso" -- gave Ledger's name back in April. Spies everywhere! Tentative name for the new place is "the Five Leaves."

Heath Ledger's Final Act

So, it seems like we stumped everyone.

This small space on the corner of Bedford and Lorimer is tentatively called The Five Leaves, and will be opened by one of Heath Ledger's close friends. The late actor, who's last movie is obviously doing pretty well, was a key backer of the the project and was going to be a full partner. His untimely death put the project in jeopardy, but  his father became executor of the estate and because he knew how much the project meant to heath, he released the funds to finish construction. The name Five Leaves is a working name, and comes from  Swan cigarette papers that tell you when there are just five left in a package. A bit later, we will take you inside the nautically themed cafe and bar.

I didn't know who Martin Henderson is, so looked him up on IMDb.  He starred in "Sweat" with Heath, and then was one of the people heath lived with in Sydney when he first left home.

The picture is from the 2004 premiere of Henderson's movie "Torque". So I don't think the woman in the background is Gemma Ward. She would have been sixteen by then (yes, I looked this up).


The two seem to have fun (but the guy in the background not ;D).

That was really interesting!!  I wish I could see similar footage of Heath getting into the Ennis character.  In this one he seems to be trying to create the sort of "spastic" energy that the Joker has throughout the movie.  And, for Ennis I can imagine it would have been a really difficult effort at trying to become as mellow or introverted as possible and to really reign in any excess energy to become sort of tightly-wound in Ennis's way.

I know Heath was superb as the joker, but I can't help but feel it was maybe an easier part for him.He naturally had so much barely contained energy,I am not surprised when he said it was the most fun he had, or probably would ever have playing a part.It probably seemed like a massive relief ,just to let it all out and run with it.
The role of Ennis is so counter Heaths' personality, with retrospect, it must have been an extraordinarily difficult part for him. To have to continually rein in all that manic energy which he had in abundance.
The more I think about it, the more I feel it is still his defining role.So I am in full agreement with you.I suspect for Heath even small things like keeping his hands still, as Ennis must have been a constant battle.Probably the only scene which was like Heaths natural personality type, is when he is pacing around, up and down drinking, waiting for Jacks arrival.

Post by: LauraGigs on July 26, 2008, 12:40:34 am
Heath had said in an interview that his role in The Brothers Grimm was the most like his own personality — with the fidgety mannerisms that character had and all. 
(I don't quite remember when that interview was. I don't know if it pre-dated Brokeback, but it definitely pre-dated his work in Dark Knight by a couple of years.)

Very true.  The only "footage" from BBM that comes to mind are those pictures of him chilling out with the iPod.  I guess maybe he just secluded himself a lot even while on the set and withdrew into his own world.  I agree with optom also, it makes his performance even more  impressive knowing just how different it was from his true state of being.

Thanks Chrissi!  These are all really great.  I don't recall having seen these before myself.  I love this one because he has such an "Ennis face" on... with the furrowed brow and everything.

Do I recall reading somewhere or hearing somewhere in an interview with some co-star or another that his iPod has become something of a memorial to Heath, with the songs being circulated amongst friends, etc.?  Or did I dream that?

From http://will-porter.livejournal.com/213052.html


Director Terry Gilliam, now in post-production on THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS, Heath Ledger's final film, was interviewed recently at the Ischia Film Festival. Gilliam had high praise for Ledger, calling him "a genius." He also complimented the three actors--Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell--who stepped in to complete Ledger's role in PARNASSUS after his untimely death last January:

TERRY GILLIAM: The great thing about it is that when Heath died, and we have a character that wasn't finished in the movie, those three actors [Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell] came along and saved the day. And so the character is now basically four actors creating one character. And that's . . . it's very interesting, and maybe even more interesting than it would have been with one actor going all the way through. I'm still not the best judge, because I have in my head what the film was going to be with Heath all the way through, and now there's a different film there. But all I know is, it's very funny.

Gilliam sounded proud of his film and genuinely awed by the generosity of the actors who came forward to save the picture and ensure its completion. Despite their high profiles, Depp, Law, and Farrell took no compensation for their work; instead, they donated their salaries to Heath Ledger's two-year-old daughter, Matilda.

TERRY GILLIAM: The three actors were totally heroic coming in. This doesn't happen very often . . . where there's a tragedy like this, and very famous, very successful actors suddenly say, "Okay, we'll do whatever it takes to help." They came; they did the work; they allowed the movie to be finished; they didn't take money--the money goes to Heath's daughter. That's extraordinary! And wonderful . . . and when you're part of that, you think, "Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies, in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people. And in our case, we've got a movie full of wonderful people, who did extraordinary things to help."

OMG---that is so sweet. Very touching. I've always loved Johnny Depp. And the other two are great actors.  Now I have another good reason to appreciate Jude Law and Colin Farrell.

That's great. Thanks for posting, Elle.

July 28, 2008 02:45
 

A Vancouver actor and mime was tapped to lip-read some of the last footage of Oscar-nominated actor Heath Ledger.

Max Fomitchev, a local deaf actor, and wife Selena Lohan, were asked to decipher 11 minutes of footage shot during the making of Ledger’s last film, Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Ledger died Jan. 22 in New York City. Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell replaced him in the role.

The footage, which has no audio, was taken from camera or costume tests during filming.
Fomitchev and Lohan spent three hours watching the footage.

“We were able to fill out what he was saying, and some of it was cheeky, a little sassy and rude,” Lohan said.
“We got to know him so well … he’s got such a sense of humour. He’s so playful.”

At one point, Ledger stopped, broke from character, and said, “I’m really not feeling very well,” she said, adding that the insight, so close to the actor’s death almost made her tear up.

“By the end of the three hours we felt like we had lost somebody.”

They were able to lip-read about 70 per cent of what the actor was saying, but don’t know how the deciphered footage will be used.

Great pics Chrissi, thanks!

I loved Casanova. It was on tv over here (for the first time as far as I can remember). I missed it because we were away on holiday. Anyway, I should watch it again. I remember being a bit worried about watching Casanova because I might see any 'Ennis' there. And now I'm worrying again about a Heath movie (TDK), but for all different reasons.

While we were sitting on the beach in San Sebastian the other day a small plane came flying past with a banner ad behind it. It said 'El Caballero Oscuro' and that really got me.  :'(

That's a funny coincidence, I was in a restaurant a couple of days ago, and noticed that the sign on the men's room door said "caballeros," and that made me think of BBM in a partly sad way. 

Fabienne, I'm glad you two had a good time there.

I have a friend who lip-reads professionally, and I sent her that article, and came out (mildly, sort of vaguely) as a Heathen to her.  Maybe she could do better than 70%.

I think technically it means "gentleman", but is often used to mean "cowboy" or "horseman".

Paul is right. But it also means "rider" and "knight". And oscuro means "dark".

--> El Caballero Oscuro = The Dark Knight

Oops, sorry about the caballero thing. I should have explained.

And while we were sitting on the beach, my husband was reading the newspaper El Pais. It had a page wide review of TDK (complete with a big picture of The Joker of course). The reviewer had not one good word for the movie as a whole, but Heath's performance was described as fantastic.

And the day we left, our local newspaper had a page wide article too titled 'How to advertise a dead star'.  :-\ I find it all tough to read, but this movie and all the hoopla will pass.

BBM never will.  :)

Thanks for clearing that up! I thought it meant "The Gray Cowboy" and I was mystified for why a plane would be flying over a beach in Spain advertising that! I thought maybe it was a brand of whiskey or something. LOL

Oh! I self-translated it as "the hidden cowboy," which seemed very BBM-y.  "Caballo" does mean horse. 

But I do remember now that "cowboy" in Spanish is "vaquero," "vaca" meaning "cow."

Just had to turn the A/C up a few degs. I happen to think the one you picked was by far the best, but a little extra Heath can only be a good thing.
My oldest sons new girlfriend, is a bit of a Heathen and she has seen BBM she cried and loved it. Major bonus points for this one !!!! They are inside watching Candy at the moment!!!
She is a very mature 14 year old who actually talks and laughs rather than just grunting. I am thinking I'm liking this one !!!!!

I am so mesed up over the joker.I recognise the acting is superb in fact a real tour de force, but I can't seperate the joker having the last laugh,maybe, from Heath definitely not having the last laugh.
I think for me, I will always think BBM and Heath. That was his most accomplished, IMO role.It went counter to his personality, to be so contained.I am in awe always, at how massively he reined in his natural exuberance and constant movement and expressive hands, to play the buttoned up,totally still  minimal expression Ennis.
That had to have been a far more difficult role for him.Yet he plays it to perfection. That is not to say, anything derogatory about TDK, he was brilliant in it.He is, just for me,  defined as Ennis.

I loved all the scenes with the Joker when he was in police custody.  Some brilliant writing for the Joker in a lot of those scenes I thought.

And, this is a great shot for the suspiciously Heath-apropos socks that the Joker wears.

Great pics of the Joker, Laura. Thanks for posting. I like the jumping one. Reminds me of Rumpelstitskin :laugh:


This one of very few pictures I've seen where the Joker looks not like a psychopathic clown, but just like a regular guy (apart from the make-up of course). I haven't seen the film yet, so maybe I'm totally wrong and he's just brooding over some evil plan or about to stab a poor puppy in this scene, lol. But I like the picture.

I don't really know where to post this, so I guess here is as good a place as any. Last night I was watching a thing on the TV Guide Channel about TDK. At one point, they were asking all the stars to talk about Heath. Maggie had a lovely response. She said something like (not exact quote) "On one hand, it's not something to talk about on TV, but on the other hand I can see that there are a lot of people who were so moved by him." She really emphasized so moved. I just thought it was a nice answer, and 100% true.

I agree, cmr107. That was really nice of her to say that. I think it's downright true on what she said about people are so moved by Heath. I know I was moved by him. He had/has this essence about him when he portrays these different characters on screen. And as a person, he seem so calm, good natured, and soft. It's like he has that special little connection inside for those who're his fans and for those who praised his performances. He's a VERY talented actor. One of the best actors Hollywood or anyone else had ever seen. :)

Wow, you got a sharp eye Meryl!

That takes the analyzing of BBM on a whole new level:
- the Joker in the background, looking over Heath's shoulder -->TDK
- Hippies hidden in the grass --> foreshadowing of Ang's most recent movie about Woodstock
- "...if the army don't get me" --> Jarhead

You may be onto something here High Priestess.

But seriously, it really is weird.

From today's Fort Worth, Texas Star-Telegram, a quote from Larry McMurtry:

"On Brokeback Mountain: "[Writing partner Dianna Ossana and I] both recognized Brokeback Mountain as a great story and asked that day if we could option it. There was a flood of people wanting to read it, but we got it first. My partner’s very tenacious and through thick and thin, she hung onto it. We waited until Heath Ledger got big enough we could cast him. It was a lot of luck and a lot of patience. You have to hang in there for a long time sometimes."



Wow!

Lovely photo as always. Do you think it will ever stop hurting? Over 6/12 and yet still sometimes I am caught all unaware again. I sometimes think, I must be completely nuts.I always said I would never cope with anything happening to one of my children, now I am beginning to really thnk that is true.I am still poleaxed so long after, about someone I really did not know.

WOW indeed, I have never read before that they waited for Heath.It is as always bitersweet.So many projects which will now never see the light of day.
 How can so many less than/evil people still be alive and kicking and killing, yet we lose someone like Heath. I know I run the risk of being shot down in flames, but it is one reason I have rejected formal religion.It makes no sense to me.

That's an interesting comment about the casting of Heath.  Wasn't the casting process for BBM a long and drawn out saga?  I feel like I remember discussions about the filmmakers going through lots of options and possibilities for both the Jack and Ennis characters.

I always heard that Larry McMurtry saw Heath in Monster's Ball and said, "That's Ennis!" and from then it was a done deal. I never heard about them ever considering another actor for the role.

And I also think the "we waited until Heath Ledger got big enough so we could cast him," is a bit of hyperbole. Big enough how? Big enough star? Big enough in height? Everything I have read seemed to indicate that it took years for all the pieces for the movie to finally come together. Supposedly, he and Ossana optioned the movie very soon after she read it in the New Yorker (which was soon after it came out, 1997). They also wrote the first draft of the screenplay very quickly. But it took took 7 long years of this, that, and the other thing before they finally got to the point of filming and actually having a movie.

My 2 cents.

The part of this that I remember hearing (and I think it was Diana Ossana herself who said it at the Aero) is that she was staying at Larry's house, went to bed that evening with the current (October 1997) issue of the New Yorker, and was waiting for him when he woke up to make him read the BBM short story.  He didn't want to read it at first, because he doesn't read much short fiction, but she insisted, so he did, and right then and there, they called Annie Proulx on the phone and asked her for the film rights.

That's how I remember hearing it.  If that's true, Heath was 18 1/2 at the time, and had only played the part of Snowy Bowles in "Sweat," which I think only showed on Australian TV.  It wasn't til March 1999 that Ten Things I Hate About You came out and Diana and Larry could have conceivably heard of him (and probably wouldn't have wanted him yet, based on the part in the film).

Monster's Ball came out in February 2002, when Heath was almost 23.  So my guess is that Diana and Larry had the movie for at least 4 1/2 years before they knew Heath was the one for them.  But at that point I would believe he was the One and Only.

WOW indeed, I have never read before that they waited for Heath.It is as always bitersweet.So many projects which will now never see the light of day.
 How can so many less than/evil people still be alive and kicking and killing, yet we lose someone like Heath. I know I run the risk of being shot down in flames, but it is one reason I have rejected formal religion.It makes no sense to me.

My thoughts exactly.  That was my first reaction when I heard about Heath, out of all the people in Hollywood, he just seemed like the most gentle, caring soul, and he's the one that we had to lose.  Regarding the previous post about caring so much about someone you didn't even know, I think that's okay.  I didn't share my spiel here yet, but I did on imdb a while ago when people were complaining about the outpouring of emotion over someone who was essentially unknown to us.  Basically I don't agree with that sentiment.  Why are we bound to only care about those we "know" and what does that even mean.  Do I "know" my distant relatives living states away just because they're technically my family?  I know their names, and little else, but would it be more socially acceptable for me to mourn their deaths simply because of the genetic relation...  Sorry if this will offend people, but I don't think it should work that way.  I think we did "know" Heath more than we know a lot of people who may be geographically or genetically closer to us.  Was there a ton about him that we'll never know?  Sure, but that can be said of most people in our lives.  I'm preaching to the choir, here, I know, but I think it's important to know that it's okay to feel the way we do.

I don't thing we're disagreeing, Elle. This is also the story that Ossana tells in the screenplay book of Brokeback with the extra essays--although I remember it as she couldn't sleep, got up to use the bathroom and started reading the story there (the magazine was next to the toilet).

Also, as I recall from those essays (all three people wrote one: Annie, Larry, and Diana), it took years to just get the details of financing and so on together. So they might not have even been thinking about people to play in the roles for a long time, which is why I buy the "That's Ennis!" story of seeing Heath in Monster's Ball.

A smart marketing person, I'm sure. I remember buying it within days of seeing the movie. It came out on December 1, 2005 and was published by Scribner.

Btw, you know what's a bit funny, cmr?
The picture with Heath in his trunks in the water reminds me of Jake's picture from the 'Jake Jake Jake' when you FIRST go on there. He was in his trunks and was showering after he was swimming. God! That was from 2006. That picture was hot, too! Whew! I knew that they both have great bodies but I didn't how GREAT their bodies are! Wow! Those guys both have the bodies of Greek gods! Yummy! Now, I'm making myself hot just thinking about that picture after looking at this mouth watering, hot one! I better cool down. ;D

Yeah. Tell us what you think of it, cmr. I think you'll enjoy it. I know I have. I've seen twice already, myself. Heath's really good in that movie. He unrecognizable at first that it was rather serious. He did such an amazing portrayal as the diabolical Joker. Plus, for some strange reason, he was very likeable unlike any other movie villains/superhero villains I've seen so far. I think you'll be surprised. ;)

Here's a precious tidbit, something Diana Ossana said at the LA screening of BBM earlier this week.  Thanks to tellyouwhat at Dave Cullen for posting it:

I asked Diana Ossana why, in the film, after Jack says "I miss you so much I can hardly stand it,"  Heath does not touch him or reach out.  In the story they had a physical encounter after that line, but it wasn't in the movie.

She said, "It was Ennis."  I said, "But it was in the story."  She said, "It was Heath, it was Ennis." 

I said, "You mean it was Heath's version of Ennis as he developed it in the movie, that he could not reach out to Jack in that moment?"

"Yes."

She said they had a few different versions of the scene, but ultimately decided this was most true to Ennis's character.

Oh Elle. Somehow this totally got me. :(


I love Diana Ossana for putting her heart and soul into this project (BBM), for not being done with it the moment the movie was released and for her obvious admiration and her feelings for Heath. She seems to have a pretty soft spot for him. We Heathens sure can understand that, to put it mildly.
Can't wait to hear the audio version you linked at the Samuel Goldwyn thread.

I know this is a different name than we've been reading.  I don't know what's true.  I'm just sharing what I find.


Heath Ledger's Restaurant About To Open

Before his death, Heath Ledger wanted to open up a restaurant/bar in Brooklyn. His partner and longtime friend Jud Mongell says Heath was really hands-on in getting the doors open.

He says, "He drew the floor plans and thought of the name — BrightSide — because it's on the bright side of McCarren Park."

The space has a nautical theme, and is scheduled to open by the end of the summer. As expected, it will include a lot of personal touches from Heath, like a chessboard being engraved into the tables because he loved the game.

Jud says, "Heath was a big chess player.The whole idea was to make it a spot for us. We wanted to make it our own space to hang out. He specifically talked about having a place for him and his family to sit. It was great working with Heath. He was the most unassuming guy."

BrightSide sounds like a great place and such a nice dedication to the late Heath Ledger. Make sure to stop by if you're in the area!

This might to completely uninteresting to anyone but me, but I'm still going to mention it.  :P Last semester I took a Voice and Movement For The Stage class. (I'm a huge theatre geek, but I do tech and stage management, nothing on stage. Usually.) The movement part was all about the Alexander Technique, which I had vaguely heard of before but didn't know what it was. After learning more about it, I started thinking that Heath might have studied it. A few months ago I seriously almost came here to ask if anyone had ever heard anything about Heath and the Alexander Technique but figured no one would have heard of it. Then I was reading the TDK Spoilers Welcome thread and came across this bit of a thing written by an Imaginarium extra.

Quote
It was common knowledge on set that he had a spinal injury and that he was on some hefty medication for it. Late in the day, with shooting behind schedule, Heath's back was playing up. He lay prostrate on the cobbles between the pub and the Imaginarium doing his Alexander Technique exercises, motionless, his eyes shut tight.

(It's on the third page of that thread if you want to read the whole thing.)

Of course who knows how much the extra knew about Heath, but there is an exercise called a Lie-Down in the Alexander Technique which involves lying on your back on the floor. (It makes you feel great if you do it right. :))

So now I ask: Has anyone ever heard anything about Heath studying the Alexander Technique? 

If you're interested in learning more about it (personally, I find it fascinating), Wikipedia has a pretty good discription of the basics here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_technique (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_technique).

Sorry if this was boring and pointless to you guys! Here's a couple pics to make it more worthwhile for you.  ;D

This might to completely uninteresting to anyone but me, but I'm still going to mention it.  :P Last semester I took a Voice and Movement For The Stage class. (I'm a huge theatre geek, but I do tech and stage management, nothing on stage. Usually.) The movement part was all about the Alexander Technique, which I had vaguely heard of before but didn't know what it was. After learning more about it, I started thinking that Heath might have studied it. A few months ago I seriously almost came here to ask if anyone had ever heard anything about Heath and the Alexander Technique but figured no one would have heard of it. Then I was reading the TDK Spoilers Welcome thread and came across this bit of a thing written by an Imaginarium extra.

HEATH LEDGER TALKS ABOUT THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE IN ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, December 2006


"I really like to look into the physical acting characteristics of my character, because it helps me to transform."
— Heath Ledger

INFLUENCING LEDGER
Heath Ledger, 27, is a transformer. With his acting coach, the "Candy" star studies the Alexander Technique, which helps him burrow into roles like gay cowboys and drug addicts by focusing on his posture, movement, and presence. "I really like to look into the physical acting characteristics of my character, because it helps me to transform". Here are the three chameleonlike performances that impress him the most.

— George Kirschling,
Entertainment Weekly

DANIEL DAY-LEWIS in My Left Foot (1989)
"It's a remarkable transformation-probably the most remarkable I can think of."

PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN in Capote (2005)
"It's less in the way he walks and more in the way he can mold himself."

GARY OLDMAN in Sid and Nancy (1986)
"Wow, that is an amazing performance. I mean so dirty. He really hits bottom."

From "HEATH LEDGER'S FINAL DAYS AMONG THE MASSES"
L.A. Art Collective Struggles to Go On After Actor's Death
BY RANDALL ROBERTS
Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 8:00 pm

“He filmed himself constantly, from every angle possible,” Amato says, “making faces, learning how he looked from different angles. He practiced a lot of shit on me because I was his video-chat buddy when he was making his coffee at work. He probably did the Alexander technique [a movement method for removing physical and mental stress] a dozen times in front of my face on video chat, where he would morph into the Joker.”

From "Sienna Miller: a sense of theatre"
Last Updated: 12:01am BST 07/06/2008

From the outside, Miller has had it relatively easy, but there were early cracks. Born in New York in 1981 to Ed, a handsome and charismatic investment banker from Pennsylvania, and Josephine, a South African-born former model and PA for David Bowie, she moved to Chelsea when she was 18 months old. Weekends were spent riding horses and running amok at her godmother's farmhouse in Wiltshire. Her mother ran the Lee Strasberg Institute in London and later taught yoga and the Alexander Technique.

My fearless Heath — Candy producer Emile Sherman's exclusive review of The Dark Knight
Walking into the theatre to see The Dark Knight, I felt so sad, fearful of being reminded of a life cut short so randomly. It's a tragedy not to have Heath Ledger any more. He was a wonderful actor, father and most of all a sensitive human being and a good guy.

But a joy crept in as I watched the film, to be able to see Heath again in the flesh, albeit a celluloid flesh, and to be mesmerised by not only his profound acting ability but also to enjoy the small movements of his face and his body. I realised how fortunate we are to have a part of Heath captured forever, in his many guises, on film.

Heath's Joker will surely go down as one of the great villain performances. It’s not just the voice, the flick of the tongue or the makeup — which in the hands of a lesser actor carried the risk of being far from convincing — it's that there is no trace of empathy, of humanity, left in those eyes.

But what I love about Heath, in all his performances, is the way he put his body to use. He once lectured me on the virtues of the Alexander Technique and how it changed his life, giving him control over his body and freeing it from history and custom. Whilst other actors, particularly movie stars, focus on their face, Heath inhabited his characters with his entire body. The Joker has a looseness, a casualness that Heath seemed to prefer to the more classic rigidness of the stereotypical strong man. Combined with his command of his face and the messiness of the makeup, it all adds up to a Joker as the "villain of chaos", and chaos as pleasure.

I'd worked with Heath Ledger on the film Candy, an Australian film about two junkies (played by Heath and Abbie Cornish), hopelessly in love with each other and with heroin. Candy was the last in a gruelling schedule of films that Heath had shot back to back.

He was tired when he arrived in Sydney for the two-month stint but with what strength he had left he worked to find within himself the character of Dan, a young man caught in a spiral of addiction with only his love for his girlfriend Candy and an endearing optimism to keep him sane. It was clear from the first day’s rushes that the audience was not going to be able to take its eyes off Heath.

I only had a peripheral friendship with Heath. After Candy, when he was back in New York, we'd share some late-night calls whilst our babies were awake at night, discussing birthing techniques and fatherhood. Heath truly understood the miracle and felt every part of it intensely.

It is this intensity and emotional, artistic sensitivity to the world that remains my ongoing remembrance of Heath. I cannot imagine what it would have been like for him to create the character of the Joker, a man who lives by no rules or ethos except to undo. To find that within oneself is beyond most of us. I imagine it takes a rare fearlessness in facing the truth, which is the way Heath approached himself as well as the world at large.

One of my very favourite photos and badly needed at this point.
Reading such wonderful and sensitive pieces about Heath, just cut through my heart again, like a knife through butter. We have lost someone so intinsically talented and at the same time, human and unassuming that sometimes it is very very hard to bear. I guess I am just having a bad day.

It is so ridiculously cute,with the  bare shins, above socks and boots.
Have I discovered another Casanova fan??
 I love it, I keep boring everyone with the point, that I think Heath had a wonderfully light comedic touch.He underplayed in Casanova almost a much as in BBM albeit for different reasons and effect.
Casanova could so easily have been a slapstick romp in more clumsy hands, and it simply wasn't.

Yes, I am a Casanova fan.

In fact, the 2nd time I went to see BBM, the theater was completely sold out. Since my daughter and I had been standing in line for a while, we decided to buy tickets to go see Casanova...which probably, if it hadn't worked out that way, I would never have bothered seeing in the theater. I enjoyed it very much and in retrospect of everything that has happened, I am very very glad I did see it that day.

Oh I imagine there are many Casanova enthusiasts here.  I loved his easy breezy hauteur in it, coupled with his brooding "uh oh" portions.  His infatuation with Francesca Bruni left me a little flat though, less believable, but that could well be because it was the first movie I saw after seeing BBM dozens of times, and I didn't want him to have eyes for anyone but Jack.

Thursday Thirteen - 40 - 13 of Heath Ledger's Films
As I sat at my desk last week, typing away at my computer, I had the news on TV to my left. The words "the body of actor Heath Ledger" sliced through my thoughts. My head turned as I took in the sight of his picture in the top right corner of the screen, an announcer speaking words that cut at my heart in jagged stabs.

Heath Ledger has been a particular favorite of mine since I first saw him in the fantasy series Roar in the late 90's. Not just for his sexy voice and charismatic presence, but for his obvious acting chops - head-and-shoulders above his peers from the very beginning. My husband and I own a lot of his film work on tape and DVD, and as my husband is the Bat Fan Incarnate, we were waiting and waiting for the release of The Dark Knight this summer. For me, the news that Heath was playing The Joker was a sign that all was right with the world.

I still feel like I'm trying to process the reality of his death. To borrow the words of Daniel Day-Lewis, "I feel very unsettled at the moment. I didn't know him. I have a strong impression, I would have liked him very much as a man if I had. I'd already marvelled at some of his work, and had looked forward so much to seeing the work that he would do in the future."

Today's Thursday Thirteen salutes some of Heath Ledger's body of work.



1 - Roar - 1997 - 2000

"Roar features Conor, the freedom fighter circa A.D. 400,in the new sword-and-sorcery adventure series. This show doesn't pull that Hercules trick of inserting modern slang and sensibilities into an earlier era; it's more an attempt at the brooding romanticism of Koslow's bodice-ripper, 1987-90's Beauty and the Beast. And Ledger, a knockabout Australian, is handsome and muscular in a refreshingly non-bodybuilder way. The result is a TV show that looks great - all dark green forests and deep blue skies - but if it wants to distinguish itself from its genre, it has to get a lot more moodily grim." - Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly


2 - 10 Things I Hate About You - 1999

"10 Things I Hate About You is inspired by Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Two guys want to take Bianca to the prom. One is shy and likable. The other is a blowhard. But Bianca's father (Larry Miller) has forbidden her to date until her older sister Katarina (Julia Stiles) starts going out. So they hatch a plot to persuade Patrick (Heath Ledger), the school outlaw, to ask Kat to the prom. He takes a $300 bribe, but then realizes that Kat is actually quite lovely, etc., and really falls in love with her, after which, etc. I liked the sweet, tentative feeling between Ledger and Stiles. He has a scene that brings the whole movie to an enjoyable halt. Trying to win her heart, he waits until she's on the athletic field, and then sings `I love you baby' over the P.A. system, having bribed the school's marching band to accompany him." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times


3 - Two Hands - 1999

"Star-on-the rise Heath Ledger is both attractive and charming, the perfect matinee combination, as the naïve would-be crim and spruiker (hoodlum), Jimmy. He is also a deft dramatic actor with a charismatic screen presence not seen in the Australian cinema since Russell Crowe. It's a sharp black comedy, a farce (a robbery scene which is hilarious), a romance, a thriller and of course the classically structured gangster film. All of which are masterfully directed by dazzling first-time feature director, Gregor Jordan, who not only effortlessly displays skills here as a visually impressive movie director, but his detail of character is brilliant." - Paul Fischer, Urban Cinephile


4 - The Patriot - 2000

"The moment war threatens his family, Benjamin (Mel Gibson) becomes the guerrilla fighter he was during the French and Indian War. Determined to rescue Gabriel (Heath Ledger) from the gallows, he sneak-attacks twenty of His Majesty's soldiers from a bluff. Gibson, himself the parent of seven, brings ardor and complexity to this conflicted father. His scenes with Ledger (Ten Things I Hate About You) - the Aussie newcomer has the talent and looks to become a major star - provide an intimacy that holds an overlong film together against the winds of bombast, irrelevant romance and relentless revenge." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone


5 - A Knight's Tale - 2001

"The hero of A Knight's Tale, William (Heath Ledger), is locked into serfdom, and is determined to change his stars. William wants to be a knight and seizes the opportunity when the knight he serves dies. He pretends to be nobility and adopts a ludicrously royal-sounding name, since 'only noble knights can compete.' Mr. Ledger has a courtly manner and he's very likable; he pays attention to the other actors and is bowled over by Jocelyn (Shannyn Sossamon). Although he's the star, he cedes scenes well. To further connect with the young audience, William's dirty blond hair is stylishly tangled in dreadlocks. He's an antediluvian skate punk dancing to Bowie's Golden Years, with action sequences playing to The Boys Are Back in Town, We Are the Champions (of course) and Rare Earth's lugubrious cover of Get Ready." - Elvis Mitchell, The New York Times


6 - Monster's Ball - 2001

"Billy Bob Thornton plays Hank Grotowski, a prison guard on death row. Emotionally, Hank's a hollow shell, filled to the brim with hate spewed from his invalid Klansman father (Peter Boyle). Hank pours his bile onto his grown boy, Sonny (Heath Ledger). The broken lad seeks solace in whiskey-blurred couplings with a truck-stop whore. Emotional tension in the Grotowski household boils over when Sonny, also a guard on death row, bungles the solemn 'walk' that brings condemned murderer Lawrence Musgrove (Sean "P. Diddy" Combs) to the execution chamber. Hank beats him in public, setting a calamitous chain of events in motion. In the aftermath, Hank finds solace at a local diner where a new waitress, Leticia Musgrove (Halle Berry), serves him chocolate ice cream, which he will only eat with a plastic spoon. We already know Leticia is Lawrence's widow.

Ledger is surprisingly deft at playing a wounded soul; though he's already a respected actor in his native Australia, this performance will help him shed the pretty-boy image that Hollywood has slapped onto him." - Tor Thorsen, Reel.com


7 - The Four Feathers - 2002

"Harry Faversham (Heath Ledger) is the son of a decorated general. He's part of England's elite — an officer cadet at a top military academy, attends balls with his similarly pampered chums, and is engaged to a fetching debutante, Ethne (Kate Hudson). However, Harry's upper-crust bubble bursts when it's announced that the Madhi, an Osama-bin-Laden-like cleric leading an army of 'fanatics', has attacked a strategic British fort in the Sudan. Harry and his classmates, including Jack (Wes Bentley) are ordered to pack up and ship out. On the eve of his departure, Harry has second thoughts. He questions what business England has in the Sudan in the first place, abruptly resigning his commission the next morning.

His friends and fiancee send Harry four white feathers as symbols of his lily-livered-ness. In order to redeem himself, he hops on the next ship to the Sudan. The Four Feathers is as much a personal journey as it is a cross-continental trek. As well as ace lensman Robert Richardson's cinematography conveys the desolation of the Sudanese desert, it's the actors who add detail to The Four Feathers canvas. In the case of Ledger and Bentley, each does a splendid job of showing how war quickly makes grizzled men out of fresh-faced boys. The duo also acquit themselves off the battlefield as two sides of a love triangle." - Tor Thorsen, Reel.com


8 - Ned Kelly - 2003

"The picture that emerges from this presentation of Ned Kelly is a Victorian police force that is as amoral as it is vicious and largely to blame for Ned’s life of crime. The film gives Heath Ledger a terrific vehicle and Ledger relishes it, creating a strong, silent type of Ned full of inner anguish, and a desperation born of circumstance. Several times he tries in vain to avoid killing police who are hunting them, and expressing his regret when he does. He is a tragic hero figure, but a hero figure all the same and Ledger makes a great impression, a real lasting image, as Ned Kelly. The story touches on the very roots of Australian pioneering society and should trigger a robust debate about the man and the myth." - Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinephile


9 - The Order - 2003

"Alex Bernier (Heath Ledger) is one of the few remaining priests belonging to the Carolingian, an order that recognizes the existence of spirits, the paranormal and Latin-only Mass. In Rome to investigate the death of their friend, that couldn't be a suicide, they meet Eden (Benno Fürmann), a Sin Eater. Unfortunately for the Sin Eater, he keeps the sins that he 'eats' and will suffer a damned eternal life unless he can delegate his job to a new candidate. Now centuries old, Eden wants to retire and pass the important job of saving the excommunicated on to Alex, who is understandably hesitant about the proposal. Ledger does a great job portraying a character who should be much older than he is, always able to express the right amount of emotion when necessary. Crafty cinematography by Nicola Pecorini constantly keeps the surroundings dark and gloomy." - Scott S., Movie-Vault.com


10 - The Brothers Grimm - 2005

"Terry Gilliam rarely has it easy making movies. Whether its his unfinished Don Quixote or the brilliant Brazil, the suits always want him to change things. The Brothers Grimm, with the shots called by the brothers Weinstein, is no exception. If you're a Gilliam junkie, as I am, you go with it. Starring Matt Damon as the skeptical Will Grimm and Heath Ledger as his susceptible brother Jacob, Ledger fares better as the nerdy brother who goes along with Will's plan to scam German villagers with fake witches that the boys banish for a fee. But Jake keeps looking for real magic. Ledger lets us see the hope in Jake's eyes when the brothers enter a forest ruled by a genuinely evil Mirror Queen (Monica Bellucci). Gilliam is Jake at heart. It's Gilliam's chance to run amok, and watching him do it is eye-popping fun." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone



11 - Brokeback Mountain - 2005

"Ennis del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) meet when they are hired to tend sheep on Brokeback Mountain during the summer of 1963. One thing leads to another between these young men of such opposite temperaments, and a summer romance blossoms in the isolation of their mountainside campsite. They return to their separate lives in one of the finest films of the year, a heartbreaking tale of the price paid for keeping desire and one's true nature a secret. It's Ledger who is truly transcendent. With Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, he breaks through to another level. Ennis is a man of few words who rarely shows what he's feeling, but Ledger, through body language and expression, is able to convey each conflicting emotion that has turned Ennis' life into something akin to purgatory." - Pam Grady, Reel.com


12 - Casanova - 2005

"He’s Casanova (Heath Ledger), and he has so many admirers he doesn’t need to sleep with the same woman more than once, and seldom does. How does he do it? Heath Ledger is proving himself as versatile as any working actor. This year, he’s successfully portrayed two entirely different roles; he’s gone from serious-as-a-heart-attack closeted homosexual cowboy in Brokeback Mountain to Casanova himself, a charming, playful socialite of a ladies man. If it doesn’t take talent to convincingly portray those characters in back to back movies, then what does? As Casanova, Ledger doesn’t play the material over the top; he lets the comedy speak for itself and focuses his attention on defining the cunning, seductive traits of the famed character. He's perfect for the role." - Blake French, Filmcritic.com


13 - The Dark Knight - 2008

"Christian Bale once again embodies the man behind the mask in The Dark Knight. The film reunites Bale with director Christopher Nolan and takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman has been making headway against local crime...until a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Heath Ledger) unleashes a fresh reign of chaos across Gotham City. To stop this devious new menace--Batman's most personal and vicious enemy yet--he will have to use every high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes." - Synopsis from Movieweb.com

I loved CASANOVA, it had me rolling on the floor laughing more than once! I agree that there was a lack of chemistry between Casanova and Francesca but I blame Sienna Miller, she was the weak link in the film IMO.  She did redeem herself in FACTORY GIRL though and made a wonderful Edie Sedgwick.

I liked The Four Feathers. From what I read, that movie was chopped up after 9/11 in some sort of patriotic fervor--or whatever. But Heath looked great and I liked the story.

I haven't seen The Order, nor have I see The Brothers Grimm. I watched Monster's Ball once, and Candy, once and that is it for those movies.

As for the rest of Heath's oeuvre, bring it on...LOL!

The four feathers was chopped down post 9/11,Monsters's Ball was hard work but Heath was incredible.The Order really takes some dedication to watch.Heath looks good in it, that goes without saying.The Brothers Grimm I quite liked, butI respect Gilliam as a director.I am intigued but terrified to see what Gilliam has done with the Imaginarium.That may prove a step too far for me.

Thank you so much for the great articles Elle! Looks like if I had just done a little research I could have answered my own question.

I feel very triumphant right now.  :)

(I liked both The Four Feathers and Casanova too.)

Todd Haynes dedicates Robert Altman Award to Heath Ledger

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fI7KcDKGLo[/youtube]

Here's what it said under 'More info' over on the right:

Note when the group assembles on the stage, they leave a gap between Cate Blanchett and Bruce Greenwood, as if to mark the place Heath should have been standing.

Todd Haynes and the ensemble cast of I'm Not There win the Robert Altman award at the IFC Independent Spirit Awards. Todd Haynes dedicates the award to Heath Ledger.

In his speech, Haynes refers to videos Heath directed, which include two music videos for an Australian artist named N'fa: "Seduction is Evil," and "Cause and Effect." I was able to view the Seduction video from N'fa's myspace page, but the Cause and Effect video is no longer available. (Update 3/30/08 -- According to bowiedownunder.com, there is a video, a cover of Bowie's Quicksand, that a young musician named Grace Woodroofe from Australia did. Heath is reported to have directed this video, but it does not seem to be available. Woodroofe was one of the first young recording artists Heath signed with his and Ben Harper's newly formed Masses Music Co label.)

As with his direction in Ben Harper's "Morning Yearning," and his brilliant video interpretation of Nick Drake's "Black Eyed Dog," this other video shows how remarkably talented Heath was going to be at directing.

"The Queen's Gambit" screenplay tells the story of a young girl, a brilliant chess player, who becomes secretly addicted to prescription meds as a result of the pressures to compete and her growing popularity. Heath had already invested several months collaborating with the screenwriter on this film he hoped to begin shooting later this year. (Independent.co.uk "Heath Ledger: a prophetic tragedy)

In Stetson or Wig, He’s Hard to Pin Down

By SARAH LYALL
Published: November 4, 2007

THE neighborhood was nothing special, just another anonymous street in North London, and the corrugated-metal front door suggested the entrance to an auto-repair shop or maybe some kind of studio. But it opened into another world: a lush courtyard nestled inside a striking modern house with acres of white walls, exotic works of art and a roof garden, complete with burbling fountain.

Behind the door too was Heath Ledger, the current tenant of the house, making coffee in the glass-walled kitchen and presenting his own deceptive exterior. What you see is a strapping 28-year-old with sleepy eyes, an amused crinkly grin and out-of-control blondish hair, dressed on this particular occasion in a hooded sweatshirt and ripped jeans hanging low to reveal the waistband of a pair of light blue flannel underpants. What you get is a lot less obvious: a serious but hard-to-pin-down actor disguised as a California stoner. (He played one once, in “Lords of Dogtown.”)

Mr. Ledger has resisted typecasting since his first Hollywood film, the perfectly decent teenage-romance comedy “10 Things I Hate About You,” filled him with such foreboding about his possible future as a fluffy heartthrob that he turned down work for a year because all he was being offered were similar parts. Although he has since appeared in light, romantic-hero roles in films like “A Knight’s Tale” and “Casanova,” Mr. Ledger has also played a sensitive prison guard, a heroin addict spiraling out of control and, in a revelation of a part, a reluctantly gay cowboy in “Brokeback Mountain”: a hodgepodge of characters that are deliberately unlike one another.

“I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself,” he explained. Nor is he ever happy with his performance, exactly. “I can’t say I was proud of my work,” Mr. Ledger declared of his latest role, in “I’m Not There” (Nov. 21), Todd Haynes’s strange, audacious new film, which attempts to get to the heart of Bob Dylan by dancing around him. “I feel the same way about everything I do. The day I say, ‘It’s good’ is the day I should start doing something else.”

In a film that uses multiple actors to portray multiple aspects of Dylan, Mr. Ledger plays Dylan the media superstar, a charismatic, swaggering figure who parties with celebrities, wears look-at-me-but-leave-me-alone sunglasses and watches his personal life collapse under the pressures of his public persona. Yes, but what does the film mean?

Mr. Ledger laughed and compared “I’m Not There” to a Rubik’s Cube, insoluble by mere mortals.

“I think it’s one of those films that you have to kind of accept and invite instead of trying to challenge and solve,” he said. “Bob Dylan himself defies description, and I think Todd was aiming to represent him. He was not trying to sum him up or define him.”

In a telephone interview from Berlin, where he was promoting “I’m Not There,” Mr. Haynes said that Mr. Ledger’s character was inspired by “photographs of Dylan taken in the mid-’60s when he was hanging out in New York locations with dark-rimmed eyeglasses and shooting pool or reading the newspapers in the classic Godardian striped crew-necked shirt.”

James Dean too. “Dylan was completely inspired by James Dean, and Heath has a little bit of James Dean in him, even physically, a kind of precocious seriousness,” Mr. Haynes went on. “As adult actors seem more and more infantile and refusing to grow up, middle-aged guys with their baseball caps, Heath is one of those young people who have a real intuition, a maturity beyond their years.”

Making the role all the more complicated was that Mr. Ledger’s character is meant, in a way, to be a Dylan twice removed. In the movie Mr. Ledger is not playing Dylan per se, but an actor famous, in the fictional world of “I’m Not There,” for portraying Dylan in his early years as a singer-songwriter of protest music.

But because Christian Bale, the actor who plays this early Dylan in the film, was scheduled to film his scenes after Mr. Ledger, Mr. Ledger said he was faced with “playing an actor portraying Christian portraying a Dylanesque character, and not being sure what Christian was going to do.” Or, to put it another way, “Who was I playing when I was acting?”

It all tied him in knots. “I stressed out a little too much,” Mr. Ledger said.

He tends to do that. He is here in London filming the latest episode of the “Batman” franchise, “The Dark Knight.” (Mr. Bale, as it happens, plays Batman; Mr. Ledger plays the Joker.) It is a physically and mentally draining role — his Joker is a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” he said cheerfully — and, as often happens when he throws himself into a part, he is not sleeping much.

“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” One night he took an Ambien, which failed to work. He took a second one and fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing.

Even as he spoke, Mr. Ledger was hard-pressed to keep still. He got up and poured more coffee. He stepped outside into the courtyard and smoked a cigarette. He shook his hair out from under its hood, put a rubber band around it, took out the rubber band, put on a hat, took off the hat, put the hood back up. He went outside and had another cigarette. Polite and charming, he nonetheless gave off the sense that the last thing he wanted to do was delve deep into himself for public consumption. “It can be a little distressing to have to overintellectualize yourself,” is how he put it, a little apologetically.

Conducting a tour of the house, which he is renting for a few months, he made wry remarks about the art. One painting depicts a crowd of creatures who appear to be in hell, but who seem determined to extract as much sexual pleasure as they can from their eternity of free time; Mr. Ledger has turned another one around and hung it upside down, to no apparent ill advantage.

An open bag with clothes spilling out lay on the floor of the master bedroom. “I’m kind of addicted to moving,” Mr. Ledger said, perhaps on account of having had to shuttle back and forth after his parents’ divorce, when he was 11. He carries his interests around with him, and his kitchen table was awash in objects: a chess set, assorted books, various empty glasses, items of clothing. Here too was his Joker diary, which he began compiling four months before filming began. It is filled with images and thoughts helpful to the Joker back story, like a list of things the Joker would find funny. (AIDS is one of them.) Mr. Ledger seemed almost embarrassed that the book had been spotted, as if he had been caught trying to get extra credit in school.

“He’s very disciplined and takes it very seriously,” said Marc Forster, who directed Mr. Ledger in “Monster’s Ball,” in which he played a troubled prison guard. Mr. Ledger came to the part at the last minute, but caught on quickly. “Heath at the time was something like 22, and I thought: ‘He’s incredible. He’s so smart and so intuitive and so observant, and he really understood the part and the character.’”

Also on the table is a winsome photograph of Mr. Ledger’s daughter, Matilda, now a toddler. (Mr. Ledger met Matilda’s mother, the actress Michelle Williams, while filming “Brokeback Mountain” and fell into a very public whirlwind romance and then into loved-up domestication in Brooklyn; they both appear together in “I’m Not There” but have recently separated. He is leery of talking about their relationship, but heaps spontaneous praise on Ms. Williams’s performance.)

Mr. Ledger now lives in Manhattan, and, when he’s home, likes to play chess with the chess sharks who hang out in Washington Square Park; sometimes he beats them. But mostly he likes to hang out with Matilda— “it’s kind of like your whole body has a lump in its throat,” he said, of having to be away — and goes back as often as he can to see her.

Mr. Ledger was born in Perth, Australia, a place so far away, he said, that “sometimes when you’re there, it feels like the earth really is flat, and you’re sitting right on the edge.” He acted in some Australian soap operas before moving to Hollywood in pursuit of a girlfriend. (The relationship did not last.) He was cast in “10 Things” opposite Julia Stiles, starred in a brief-lived television series and began appearing in movies like “A Knight’s Tale,” playing a swashbuckling medieval lover-jouster.

“I was more concerned with having a good time than with focusing on work,” he said.

But suddenly he realized that he cared. “I started to look at the work and think, ‘Oh, God, maybe I should be taking this seriously, because people are going to see this,’” he said. “All I saw were mistakes — a lack of care, lack of attention to detail.”

Among other things, he began working with Gerry Grennell, his dialect coach, who has seen him through a dizzying spectrum of dialects and intonations. (“It’s rare that there’s a role that requires an Australian accent,” Mr. Ledger said.) Among his next projects are a film directed by Terry Gilliam, and another by Terrence Malick. Mr. Ledger is learning to play the piano and to sing. He also directs music videos, has a small independent record label called Masses Music in Los Angeles and is planning to direct a film at the end of next year.

One of the things that struck him most about the Dylan who emerges in “I’m Not There,” he said, was Dylan’s continual effort to resist easy categorization and his willingness to “recreate himself and not conform to people’s ambitions to put him in a box.”

That is how Mr. Ledger feels too, and he likes to keep an element of surprise, for the world at large and for himself.

“Some people find their shtick,” he said. “I’ve never figured out who ‘Heath Ledger’ is on film: ‘This is what you expect when you hire me, and it will be recognizable.’”

He continued: “People always feel compelled to sum you up, to presume that they have you and can describe you. That’s fine. But there are many stories inside of me and a lot I want to achieve outside of one flat note.”

Sir Michael Caine: It was a privilege working with Heath Ledger
Actor pays tribute to his Batman co-star

Saturday, 9 August 2008


Sir Michael Caine says it was a pleasure to work with Heath Ledger on The Dark Knight.

The veteran actor, 75, heaped praise on the Australian star who died of a prescription drugs overdose in January at the age of 28.

‘What a talent,’ he tells Hello! ‘We’d sit on set, chatting for hours. Then he’d get up, drop being Heath, and go into this amazing performance.

‘I shall miss him – very much. And it was a privilege working with him, you can’t say that of some actors out there, believe me.’

The Dark Knight has broken box office records, taking £77.7million in its opening weekend.

And Heath’s portrayal of The Joker is being hailed as Oscar-worthy.

When I was going thru the last five or ten pages of this thread today, I thought how wonderful it is to see the unconditional loyalty, dedication and devotion you Heathens show on here, with all the fantastic pics you post here.

We all miss him, and feel sad that he is no longer with us, and there is no doubt that he will never be forgotten while there are Heathens on here.

Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful images of him.

RDJ doesn't like TDK:

Quote
Rex Features
Robert Downey Jr. has admitted that he is not a fan of The Dark Knight.

Downey Jr., whose Marvel superhero film Iron Man was the highest-grossing film of the year until Christopher Nolan's sequel debuted, told MovieHole that he found the latest Batman movie too complicated.

He explained: "It's like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I'm like, 'That's not my idea of what I want to see in a movie'.

"I didn't understand The Dark Knight. Didn't get it, still can't tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy."

Downey Jr. suggested that the DC Comics adaptation was "highbrow" and required a "college education to understand".

He added: "You know what? F*** DC Comics. That's all I have to say and that's where I'm really coming from."

My advice to Mr. Downey is, If you can't think of anything good to say, the shut the f--k up. Not only is he, by virtue of of his criticism scorning the millions who have seen understood and enjoyed TDK. He is also revealing, that he is not overly blessed in the grey matter department as he obviously struggled with the plot.
It all smacks very much of sour grapes.

Oh well, I have to disagree partly. I don't think he's scorning people who enjoyed TDK. He baiscly stated that it was not his cup of tea, which is perfectly fine.
But for the reason why he didn't like it, I agree with you. He did himself a disservice with this statement. Too complicated? :o That doesn't make him look too bright  ::).

And for the F*** DC comics comment: oh well, I think that's just him. RDJ is known to be a bit off every now and then. But I like people with rough edges.
Remember Heath was a long time said to be "difficult" towards the press, and there are some pictures of him showing the finger. Rough edges ;D

I respectfully disagree. If he didn't like the movie, he should say so. And so what if millions of people have seen this movie. That doesn't mean a thing as to the merits of the movie. I've been reading reader's reviews on the New York Times website. Lots of people thought it was very good, some thought it was way overrated or too serious but no one was told to shut up.

Oh, those pictures are cute! Especially with Matilda! Oh I totally melt every time I see him doing things that people would normally do! Especially the pictures when he was younger and when he smiles. I love it when he had that green hat on at one of the BBM meetings. *sigh*

Btw, as for Robert Downey Jr.'s dislike towards TDK, I really don't give a damn. To tell you truth, I'm glad he spoke his mind about the movie. He didn't like the movie, fine! So what! I mean we ALL don't have to like the same things! His statement was a bit harsh BUT at the same time, some of it actually makes sense. Please don't bash me you guys but... :o...in a way, TDK was kind of hard to understand. The story was good but I felt that it was bit intense in some corners of it. Please forgive me and I should've put it on the "The Dark Knight" thread. :'(

But, listen everyone, it's okay not to like the same thing. That's what makes us different from eachother and unique. TDK and "Iron Man" are both different movies with different styles and tastes.

That comment about Heath, has just reminded me of a highly entertaining interview he did, where the presenter said f--k and Heath asked if he was allowed to join in, which he did with gusto.Also he was heard to use good old Anglo Saxon when passing comment on the Australian prime minister.
Maybe the sour grapes are mine, as I am not good with anything that criticises a Heath movie !!!!!
Except of course The Order, which even I have to admit is not one of his best choices.

I have absolutely no problem with someone not liking any movie, but what seems weird to me is that RDJ talked about it. Maybe it's just me, but it seems very rare for an actor to talk about a movie they had nothing to do with. Was he specifically asked about it?

The veins you are talking about, no. However that is a really interesting observation.There is a condition called temporal arteritis which is potentiall fatal. It is when one of the veins by the temple, the temporal vein becomes very full and engorged.
When I was in practice I would see it sometimes when takung off or putting on a patients spectacles.I would refer them on to a vascular specialist.

The prominences on either side of Heath's forehead are outlines of his skull (frontal bone), I believe.  His vein is in the middle and not very prominent.

I know you're teasing, but what I meant was, I hadn't gone through my various Heath sources in a few days, so might have stuff to share once I do.  But so far, it's not stuff I feel like posting.  Maybe I'll do it in paragraph form right now.  ANd remember, everyone, I have no idea what's true, I'm just reading this stuff on the internet, so who knows.

Heath's father is giving his own (?) money to fund the bar project in Brooklyn, which now looks like it will be named BrightSide.  Michelle has hired a bodyguard to look outside for paparazzi before she walks out the door.  Depp, Farrell, and Law giving their whole Parnassus paychecks to Matilda.  Heath had been working with a screenwriter on a script for The Queen's Gambit (sigh).  Nobody seems to have actually seen the "Matilda" on The Joker's costume in one scene of TDK, though it's rumored to be there.

That is all.

Near the very end, when Heath leans out the window and says, "Yeah that was fun," he makes a quick little nod and facial gesture.  What moment in BBM did it remind me of?  Surprise - it's not Ennis who makes a similar head and face motion.  Who and when?

According to the article, the distributors have yet to see any footage so you can't really say that it hasn't been well received.  Not yet anyway  ;)

Doesn't this sentence imply that they've already seen it:

But as of late last week, many buyers had yet to see footage.

No, "yet to see" means they haven't seen it.

Terry Gilliam's last few movies all got bad reviews, even "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with Johnny Depp and "Bro's Grimm" with Heath and Matt Damon. I hope this movie will at least get better rev's. :-\

Terry Gilliam is like most of the Monty Python team.He treads that fine line between genius and insanity.Some of his films are just not understood, and some are plain bad.
He is certainly eccentric to say the least and I suspect that would have been one of his attractions for Heath.I am sure he gave full rein to all of Heaths hyper/manic energy.

The link wouldn't load for me.  :-\ But frankly, I find it hard to beleive this film won't find a distributor and an audience, no matter what, on the merits of its backstory alone, if nothing else. It is Heath's last film, and even if that wouldn't spark curiosity (even morbid curiosity :-\ ) in quite a few among the audience, Heath has just shot spectacularly through the roof of fame with the Joker. People will want the opportunity to see him in another film. And in addition - the fact that it sports the other well-known replacement actors - Depp, Farrell and Law. No, I honestly can't imagine it wount find distribution. May not be very wide distribution, but still.

This is a tribute [  ] I found it somewhere on a Batman fan-blog.

Here's another one that I found, a fan tribute on one fan page (I'm sorry now I didn't make a note of the name of the poster - would like to give proper credits). 

As you all know, I thought the Joker as a nurse was absolutely *great*. Loved every second of that part of the film. The body language, and those expressive silent-movie slapstick gestures mixed in with the menace....  Hilarious and captivating. Downright mesmerizing. And he looked good in that wig, too.

Who'd ever have thought that this type of drawing would reflect one of Heath's most iconic roles?

Here's the real deal too, for good measure:

I zoomed in the picture, therefore the quality isn't the best anymore. But look at the face in the background, between Heath's hand, the gun and the folder! :o ;D
Won't comment on it, since this is not the spoiler thread :-X, but those who have already seen it, will know what I want to say ;D.

Hmmm.... wonder if some of the nurse with gun images are promo stills? They have to be.

This one looks more like it inspired the fan cartoon i posted. The wig is fluffier, there's no mask, and the background guy is different too:

(http://trylobyte.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/joker_nurse.jpg)

So which one was in the film?

Agreed on the promo stills.
And I'm not sure which one was in the movie. I think it was the one without mask, but I'm not sure. He didn't wear a mask in that scene, at least not for the whole scene, did he?

I'll see the movie again next Friday, I'll look out for it.

I don't want to rain on anyone's Heath parade, but he was sitting in the airplane, not flying it.  Still a fantastic find.

No you are not on your own.I liked the 4 feathers,I really like that particular Heath look from the the film. It was cut quite a bit and I wonder if it suffered fom that. It struck me it could have been a Lawrence of Arabia sort of epic, had it not been cut.Apparantly it was cut post 9/11.

Not only that, I just finished with all the pics, turned on the T.V to make sure the storm was definitley going to miss us here, and E was showing a repeat of their special on Heath.

Good morning to you too!!!
Photos like this remind me he really was just a big kid, full of joy,he seemed to have the ability to take every emotion to the max.What a great dad Matilda is going to miss out on.You just know he would have played silly games with her.
My kids don't like my downs vey much, but they love my ups when we do treasure hunts,drive to the beach in the rain, drive all round the community with the windows open after it has rained, so everyone gets soaked as we go through the mini lakes.
I think Heath would have been a bit like that, only with immense tlent as well !!!!

I found it on Ledgersladies, like most of my pictures. And the thing he's sitting in is simply a metal (aluminum I'd say) storage box. I've seen those used in industrial production.
A very lovely photo indeed :).

I think it's not The Queen's Gambit. The pic on the front cover seems to be different, albeit in somehwat similar bluish shades. But more important, the back cover was white, whereas on the TQG book it wasn't.

Yes, but it is me being about as clear as mud.What I meant was the photo may be small,( as in you saying smal resolution) but he is still perfect in it.My father used to use the phrase, small but perfectly formed.When I re read it, I realised it made little sense, and could even be seen as me implying Heath was small.Will turn on brain cells before posting in future.
It is probably no clearer now, but it is 3.40 am here and I am only up because I have raging toothache.So I suspect I still might not be making any sense.

Oh thank you for this, oh empress of wonderful Heath pics!

I love the one in the box. It reminds me very strongly of my favourite comic,  Calvin and Hobbes, where C&H used to go exploring other worlds and other times, sitting just like that while travelling in a cardboard box turned spaceship or time machine.
I.e. the image to me seems to portray a happy and youthful spirit, boundless and imaginative... and that was Heath.

Thank you and have a lovely weekend, Chrissi. And the same to all Heathens, of course.  :)

Yeah. I understand what you mean. Everytime I think about it, my stomach and heart feels achey and I almost feel sick to my stomach. I keep wondering if he were still alive, what would he be doing now. Probably spending time with his beautiful little girl. God, I wish he didn't die. :'(

Gregor Jordan, director of Ned Kelly and Two Hands.

Love this one and it's new to me as well.He sure scrubbed up well.
Sometimes photos of him set off very odd thought patterns. Seeing him quite dressed up, made me think of dances and balls, which in turn made me think, he will never have the pride and lump i the throat feeling of seeing Matilda go to her 1st prom.
That seemed desperately sad to me.

DOBLE/TRIPLE WOW  I wish all my Monday mornings started in such a glorious fashion !!!

I was looking through my photobucket, don't have any of the last few.The first few make me green !!!

It also struck me that he had really good taste, in an intelligent not designer label way. Nearly all the sunspecs. he wears are RayBan ,which are the best period.
 Useless factoid now, the frames are American and the lenses are by Bausch and Lomb. The original  frame which is still popular today was called the Aviator, so named because they are the American airforce issue sunspecs and have been for decades.
The red ones Heath wears are called wayfarers.
Anyway for U.V protection they are second to none. Always knew Heath was an intelligent guy.Hate writing was.

I know what you mean... I feel the same way looking at those types of pictures.  I know it's so invasive, but at the same time they reveal so much about him, and I guess we can't help but want to know more, especially now that he's gone.

They are very cute pictures.

Hi A!  I read Ted and Lisa's story about meeting Jake, but I can't remember what you are referring to.  Help?


Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Brown Eyes on August 25, 2008, 11:56:21 am
I seem to recall that at the very end of their meeting with him he talked about that particular photo (the or the related one from the inside of the soundtrack CD case... the one where they're laughing more).  Jake talked about it being a moment when they were cracking up with each other over an inside joke they'd come up with between the two of them.  I think he also said something about that night being a night when they worked on several different night scenes.  This particular photo (or set of related photos), he said he thinks was snapped in relation to the brief little scene where they're eating the elk meat.

Maybe I'm totally imagining all of this.  But, that's what I recall at least.

I don't recall all the details about what the inside joke was about.  I'd have to re-read it to remember.

Just the look of total love and delight in being with his daughter.All the actors who worked with him after Matilda was born eulogise about how besotted he was, and it shows,in those beautiful eyes of his.
I have no idea how Michelle looks at that little mini Heath and manages to carry on.

A Heath shower! Yes, we have been spoilt lately. Thank you for all the wonderful pictures, the one with Mathilda was just so nice, although it's difficult not to get sad watching that one.

Does anyone have this black and white picture that was used for the cover of Empire magazine?

There's a second, very similar one, and I'm not sure which of those it is on the magazine cover, or if there's a difference between the two at all.

Wow, John.  Thank you!  I used to check The Masses site, hoping something more on Heath would show up, but hadn't in quite a while.

I think the black & white shots are from Heath's video "Black Eyed Dog"  (I misspoke when I called it "Black Dog.")  And the misty, swirly shots with the woman's dancing arms near the beginning are from his Ben Harper video for "Morning Yearning," I think.  But there are others I haven't seen, and of course want to.

Thank you thank you again, John.

Thankyou for that and to John as well. It is 9.30am here in Sunny Florida and I can't stop crying. I have such a lump in my throat.The round and round part of the video reminds me of the satrt of Candy. I wonder if they were on a merry go round. I used to love those when I was a kid.
I sure hope this gets a little easier sometime soon.
I am starting to feel like a complete basket case !! I don't suppose for a moment he knew it, but how appropriate parts of the video are.
I have to go now and try and get my head back together.

What a touching video.  This was the first time I've seen it and when it stopped I thought there must have been some glitch with my computer or something and went back to watch the last few seconds thinking that can't be how it's supposed to end... so yeah, fits very much.

The shots with his daughter are both devastating and beautiful at the same time.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has been posting pictures over the last few pages. The Masses video and the images from that one is a wonderful, wonderful find.

The first time I saw the video, before the images were posted from it, the pool image with Matilda(?) and this image here were the ones that struck me in particular:

I don't know why.... there's such a mixture of mystery (in his expression, the background, the mirror, and in the synopsis of the film) and mischief and merriment (in the Pierrot costume) - it just immediately grabbed my attention. Also, it hurts to think of how this pic likely was taken very shortly before 22nd January.  :-\

BIg thanks as always .Very cute. I hate to admit it, but I quite liked the fact he smoked,it made me feel less of an outcast.I liked his cheeky grin and wry smile even more.

I was on youtube last night and it struck me just how many of the tribute videos had something about his lovely smile in their title.I really feel there was something quite magical about it.

I wonder if this is the motorcycle from this article that got posted a few weeks ago.

Heath Ledger almost always moved through L.A. on a yellow Ducati, his head encased in a full-face helmet as he zipped between his home in the hills and his Hancock Park workspace with perfect anonymity. He could put on his mask, hop onto his motorcycle, zoom down Laurel Canyon Boulevard, then leave the bike in front of the Masses' office and sneak inside without a single person catching a glimpse of his face.

Thank you everyone for all these great images. This thread is wonderful to return to every day. :)

The last couple of pages reminded me of how many hair colours Heath went through - back and forth between blond and dark and everything inbetween. Always a new one as the next project approached. He looked good in all of them.

I saw a wonderful film last night which I enjoyed and, since the main male actor, to me, looked like Heath, I liked it more and more !

Did you ever see the movie about the singer Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter, made in 1980 ?

Netflix.  But I've seen pieces of it on Youtube.  Although every episode has fighting in it, Heath's character, Conor, is doing all he can to unite the many splintered tribes, while almost everyone around him doesn't get why.  One big why - the Romans are beginning to arrive, and if they are squabbling with each other, they don't have a chance.  And though I usually eschew the word 'adorable,' he really is adorable as the Boy King, learning to lead his people.  He fits the part very well.  And the casting is gorgeous.  Not everyone is the best at acting, but lots of good-looking people with their own individual quirky looks.  Not just "pretty."  Like Heath.  he's not just pretty, he has his own quirks, looks-wise.

Candy is an incredibly good movie.It is however heartbreakingly sad.I bawled my eyes out.It is not over sensationalised.In fact one of the reasons it is so good, is you feel it could happen to anyone you know.
Be prepared to break out the kleenex though.

As always thanks to everyone who takes the trouble to post photos.Having done a few myself, I know for me anyway it can be pretty time consuming.
That is probably because I get sidetracked looking at too many,then realise I haven't actually downloaded any and can't remember where I saw my favourites !!!

Hey guys!  I thought I'd share this little creation with you all.  I was bored the other day and since I was having trouble picking just one Heath picture for my desktop I made this rudimentary collage using the screen cap function, haha, nothing fancy.  I think it's a nice montage of various adorable facial/hand expressions though.

A toned and tanned Heath at the beach, just to hold onto the summer days for a little while longer.
Apologies for it being a paparazzi shot. I don't normally give them house room, but this one is very cute.

That picture does look like the Del Mars sitting down to dinner, with little Bobby visiting though.

You know, if you look really hard, it does in fact look like Ennis is at the dinner table on the picture. And wierd thing is, like y'all said, Bobby sitting at the dinner table with his supposed twin. :laugh: And in truth, Bobby isn't Ennis's child. ;D

But, that's a great picture.

I love the Heath pictures, y'all. And the last picture you posted, Penthesilea was really cute. Damn Heath was always such a cute guy but on that picture, he's just adorable!

Merci Gabreya !

May I agree with you... about that picture.

And if you look at some scenes in that movie I mentioned, he does look like Heath, in many ways !! And his actions are too like Heath's, at times!

Did you see that movie ?

Au revoir,
hugs!

Yes. I've seen the movie and it's wonderful! Yes, in some of the scenes, I got that the Ennis atmosphere was going on. Artiste, I just realized that Ennis Del Mar is one of the greatest movie characters ever to grace the screen. At times, I think he's a real person when he's really a fictional character. But, still, the aspects of him are pretty real. Same goes for Jake.*sigh*

DAAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heath is just fine as hell on that picture! His body looks great and in shape! I figured that he's one of those people that just loved the beach for its beauty. He has a body and face of a Greek god! Such a beautiful guy. That picture is just mouth-watering! :P

Have a nice weekend Heathens :)


Last night Kerstin and I finally managed to the TDK for the second time (our third attempt). I can't help myself, but if he weren't a psychopathic mass murderer (which is of course hard to ignore, lol), the Joker would really be a likable character. Maybe I'm, biased, I can live with that ;D.

Oh, and a little sidenote I wanted to share: directly after the movie people came out, talking about it. A young couple walked by me and the guy said: "The Joker really deserves an Oscar."
Without going into that discussion whether I agree or not, the comment made me smile. :)

I'm asking myself what other people (non Heathens, non Brokies) think. If they actually like the character of the Joker? If Nolan (and Heath) meant it to be that way? It's somehow schizophrenic, there's the Joker, blowing up half of Gotham City (think only of the pencil scene!) - but we like him ::).

n
There is a lovely interview with Michael Caine on youtube,I can't post it as every time I try, I can't get it to work.In the interview he marvels at Heath's acting,and he is of course himself,up there with the greats.
One thng he did say was how on earth had Heath managed to get kaughs out of this psychopathic mass murderer.He appeared truly in awe of Heath's talent.He was 100% certain he should get an Oscar and he quite deliberately said that was nothing to do with his, well you know January.(still can't say that word)
The second time I saw TDK I was better able to see funny moments and I even started to feel sorry for the joker.
Very odd, I know it was nothing to do with what happened to Heath, it really was for the Joker.

I'm sure Christopher Nolan was aware of the Joker's likability as Heath developed the character and rejoiced to see it.  Great villains are beloved by moviegoers, and some in my experience, like Hannibal Lechter,  Khan (Star Trek), Gollum (Lord of the Rings), Norman Bates (Psycho), the Terminator and even the Wicked Witch of the West, are also likable.  The common factor, I think, is that they're not villains for villainy's sake, they just believe in their agenda.  People respect that and secretly cheer them on.

Aw, that's nice.  I went to see TDK for the third time last night and was soooooo upset as people were leaving and the chick in front of me said something along the lines of "I don't really care that much that he died since he was just self-medicating with illegal drugs, it was his own fault."  Wow, I was two seconds away from beating this woman up, I was so angry.  How does someone say that?  I was just horrified and still rather sad about it, how heartless people can be...  I mean, I fully respect the fact that not everyone in the world loves Heath as much as we all do, but what about common decency?

I am so with you on this one. I look at the you tube tributes and some of the comments leave me aghast.No one will ever know the full truth, chances are he just took one to many of one of the drugs.It really can be that tragic.My son very nearly died from a reaction to one of his prescribed meds.

Anyway I digress, people should heed the phrase, if you can't think of something nice, then say nothing.Particularly when the person can not defend themselves.
I often think how will Matilda feel when she is older reading all the rubbish.
People talk dreadful rubbish sometimes. My husband was telling one our customers about the amount of staff theft we have,The customer replied, I hate thieves, only one thing I hate more and that's gays !!!!
Quick as a flash my husband responded, well there's only one thing I hate more and that's bigotted, sanctimonious ,homophobes!!! Curiously he had no answer to that, my husband reckoned he was still trying to work out whether he wa being insulted or not!!!

I think the dark girl is Rachel Griffiths from Six Feet Under and Brothers&Sisters. I just looked her up on IMDB and saw that she was in NK with Heath :o. Never noticed her in the movie.
Anyway, the pics are from some aftershow party in 2002.

Hm. True that great villains often steal the show and get some kind of cult status. For their coolness, for their superior intellect or whatever.
And people (secretly) admire their non-conformance, their refusal to play by the rules, them having the guts to do so. Especially compared to their own life. Who wouldn't sometimes just want to break out, say f' you! to their boss, to paying the bills, to nagging family members :laugh:.

But I think that's different from actually liking the villain. I wouldn't say I find one of your examples likable (of those I know, never seen LOTR or Wicked Witch of the West).

But the Joker? Ehm, yes, I like him, can't help it ;D.

That's exactly the same question I'm asking. :laugh:

Still don't know though *shrugs* - perhaps it's silly to ask and I should just take it as it is. I don't know anyone who has seen it (yet) except Kerstin and Brokies here on the forum. I'll see what my hubby will think.

4:35 PM - Heath Ledger captured in Joker portrait by Dave White

Up-and-coming painter Dave White's latest exhibition features a four foot high oil painting of Ledger who died earlier this year. Stephen Adams reports

Heath Ledger has received an arresting tribute from one of Britain's most feted up-and-coming painters. Dave White said he was moved to paint the image after seeing Ledger as The Joker in the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight.

Australian Ledger, 28, died this January after taking an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.

The four foot high oil painting is part of an exhibition of White's new works, that opens on Friday at the Opus Art gallery in Newcastle.

Explaining why he decided to paint it, Mr White, 36, said: "I was just putting the finishing touches to my show when I saw Batman.

"I was totally and utterly blown away. I saw the movie and just came into the studio straight away. I just had to make this image, to the best performance I had ever seen. It was teetering on insanity."

He added: "It was a real tragedy to hear of his death."

The picture is based on a publicity shot used by Warner Bros which shows The Joker confronting Batman in the street.

White, a classically trained artist with a degree in fine art painting, whose work has been exhibited alongside that of Picasso and David Hockney at Sotheby's, often basis his work on images from popular culture.

He said: "Comic books are a very very glib, flat representation of a character. What my work is about is totally flipping that on its head.

"What I'm trying to express is making these into real images, seeing through to the real human emotion and trying to freeze that."

Don Smith of Opus Art commented: "Dave White is nothing less than exceptional. His work is celebrated internationally and the interest around him is phenomenal. We are delighted to be exhibiting his latest solo show."
After being shown in Newcastle the exhibition will travel to London in October to be shown at the new Kounter Kulture art fair in the Truman Brewery.

12:57 PM - Dark Knight re-release planned for 2009 Oscar bid

Thursday, 11 Sep 2008 11:06

Dark Knight may be re-released in January in bid for Oscar glory

The Dark Knight may be re-released in January in a bid for Oscar glory, it has emerged.

The Batman Begins sequel was released in July and has shattered box office records, while rumours persisted that Heath Ledger could be in the running for a posthumous Academy award for his portrayal of The Joker.

And speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, a Warner Bros source has revealed that the studio is looking to jog Academy members' memories with a re-release.

"It's just a matter of bringing it back as a reminder for people," the insider said.

And when contacted by the trade newspaper, Warner Bros domestic distribution president Dan Fellman admitted that talks with Imax executives are ongoing regarding restoring the comic book film to cinemas.

Ledger and director Christopher Nolan are the likely Oscar nominees should a Dark Knight re-release encourage Academy members to include the films on their ballot papers.

The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale, Ledger and Aaron Eckhart, is the second highest-grossing film of all time, with box office takings of $512m (£292m) in the US alone.

Heath Ledger voted top summer movie villain!!!!!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - Heath Ledger's chilling portrayal of the Joker in Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight" easily surpassed rivals to be named the summer's best movie villain in a poll released on Wednesday.

Australian actor Ledger, 28, who died of an accidental drug overdose six months before the July release of "The Dark Knight", won 95 percent of votes in a poll by AOL's Moviefone.com Web site.

The Batman sequel, which has taken $505 million at the U.S. and Canadian box office alone, also won every category in which it was nominated for the end of summer season poll, including best sequel, best superhero movie, best action sequence and "movie most worth your cash."

"'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' had all the hype going into the summer but when people saw 'The Dark Knight', they really responded in 'Titanic'-like proportions," said Moviefone editor Scott Robson.

He should go and see Brokeback Mountain!

Seriously, it's great to see people reacting strongly to Heath's perfomance as Joker, and I love all the praise he's getting for it.
But it will always have a sting to it. Heath should be here to enjoy it. :(

Thanks as always for the lovely pics.
Thanks for the articles as well

 It is odd I was thinking only the other day, about the Oscars and wondering when nominations came round, whether TDK would be forgotten because all the hype would have died down. I am still ambivalent about it.
He should have got the Oscar for BBM when he was still here.
I remember his sister saying all he wanted was the recognition of his peers, none of the fame or any of the rest of it was important,

For me it willhurt so badly if he gets an Oscar now he's gone, and worse still to see someone else collect it. Ikeep thinking it will stop hurting but it doesn'e seem to.
First I thought well when TDK is out, it will be better,it wasn't because of his stellar performance.I hope now that once the Oscars and the Imaginarium are over, I  will finally start to feel better.How long do you mourn/miss someone you never knew.

At least here I feel safe.I commented on a youtube video about the terrible loss, and I got such a vicious pasting by someone.I cannot believe how vindictive and vicious some people can be.It  was bordering on venemous. No wonder the world is in such a state.

I agree fully.  I almost feel it will be a little offensive to give him the nomination/win now, not that I wouldn't love it, but it will feel to me like the Academy is attempting to make up for the fact that he didn't win for BBM.  It's too late for them to correct that mistake, Heath's gone now and he won't be able to enjoy any of the recognition for this role.  It's especially sad to hear about just how much he valued the recognition of his peers, since he's receiving so much for TDK.  I guess the whole situation makes me angry all over again that he didn't win last time.

And to your other point, yes, people are incredibly cruel, and I'll never understand the need to criticize people or make them feel somehow guilty about being caring and sympathetic... It's like, sorry for being a caring human being, I know it's not in style these days.

Ledger's Five Leaves Opens

This summer came news of a Greenpoint bar called Five Leaves opening and being backed by Heath Ledger (and now by his estate). Urban Daddy has the latest, on the day of the unofficial opening, reporting that "the designer is the man behind Moto, Smith and Mills and Tailor ... The end effect is a bar that Thomas Edison might have built for his buddies. The handmade light fixtures are steel and wire concoctions that seem right out of a lab, and the bathroom door is a massive, '20s-era boiler room door. Even the walls are covered in what the owners call steel wallpaper." And coffee and spirits won't be all that's served; expect greenmarket goodies as well (like Sliced Radishes on Toast with Evans Farmhouse Butter). Tonight the place will be serving up friends and family only, and expected to be there are both Mary-Kate Olsen and Michelle Williams (awkward)—the rest of us are welcome to come next Wednesday, and the hours will be 8 a.m. to...midnight?

You're not alone in that, carolina. To tell you the truth, I'm a bit uneasy and upset about the decision of giving him an Oscar nomination for him for the Joker role when he should've won for BBM a long time ago. I mean, the Joker has been around for a while but Ennis is a rare diamond in the rough. Don't get me wrong. He was excellent as the Joker BUT Ennis was his 'once in a lifetime role'. And it's very sad that he's not here to enjoy the praise everyone is giving him. And yes, I would agree that the Academy would've been doing that just to make up for the mistake in the past. Will, it still wouldn't correct it or bring him back. Once they mess up, it's done and it can never be undone. Plus, TDK, in my opinion, is one of the most OVERRATED movies ever! It's a great movie but it's TOO TOO TOO BIG, in a sense. I mean, calling it the best movie ever before movies like "The Godfather", "Lord of the Rings", "Wizard of Oz", and others is ridiculous. Yeah, but it's Heath's in the role and made it memorable. And that's all that matters.

I love the dance scene in AKT, I play it over and over again on Youtube. It is officially when I first fell for Heath.So few men can dance.Apologies to those who can !!!
Whe he first appeared on the screen in AKT, minus the long tatty locks,I thought he was one of the most utterly gorgeous men I had ever laid eyes on.

Heath Ledger's dream hangout becomes reality

By ninemsn staff

A New York bar that Heath Ledger helped nurture with ideas and funds will open this week — just as the legendary actor had wanted.

Before his death in January, the Australian actor had gone into partnership with friend Jud Mongell to establish the bar as a place where he and his friends could hang out.

Ledger's father said he felt satisfied to help see his son's plans through, The Sydney Morning Herald has reported.

"Heath always intended helping Jud get into the restaurant business, so he put his money where his mouth was and committed to the lease and committed to the plans," Kim Ledger was quoted as saying.

Ledger had applied for the liquor licence, committed to the lease and even planned to get behind the bar and DJ, according to Mr Mongell.

"I took him skateboarding around the neighbourhood, showed him a lot of places for lease. I brought him over here and he liked it right away," Mr Mongell said.

"We're 50:50 partners still… he was not like some removed investor," Mr Mongell said.

The interior of the bar, in Brooklyn across the East River from Manhattan, is brimming with Ledger's ideas and touches.

Its rustic dècor has a distinct Australian feel — and a bow-shaped bar and deckchairs represents Ledger’s love of the sea.

Granite-topped bar tables have been engraved by his favourite tattooist, Scott Campbell — one as a chess board. Ledger was a keen chess player and often visited the New York’s chess clubs.

The Ledger family named the bar after an album by English singer-songwriter Nick Drake.

Ledger's bar to be a celebration

It was supposed to be the Brooklyn bar in which Heath Ledger would be most comfortable - a place in which the late actor not only invested, but that he helped conceive.

Only those who knew him well will discern the Heath touches: the engraved, granite-topped bar tables were his idea, as it was to have his favourite tattooist, Scott Campbell, from nearby Williamsburg, do the engravings.

It also was Ledger who wantedone table engraved as a chessboard. He played the game his father taught him at a nearby chess club and often beat the city's street chess hustlers, although he declined to take their money, his business partner, Jud Mongell, said last week.

Also engraved on the chess table is a scrawled love-heart, replicating one Ledger left on a note to a friend not long before his death in January.

The nautical theme - the space is furnished with deckchairs and fitted with a steel, bow-shaped bar to create the impression of being at sea - was an idea Mongell and Ledger had together.

The bar's name, Five Leaves, isa Ledger family decision, recalling an album by Nick Drake and a reference to the warning found near the end of a packet of Rizla cigarette papers.

This week the bar will finally open, not as a tribute to Ledger but as somewhere he would belong.

"We're 50:50 partners still," MrMongell said. "Heath is still my partner. He was fingerprinted for a liquor licence for the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). He was going to DJ, bartend; he was not like some removed investor. At one point he put a bid in on the whole building. He was going to live upstairs.

"Heath was a very good chess player. He wanted a chessboard or two in here, so we could never not do that."

The bar has been completed because the actor's father, Kim, agreed to see it finished.

"Heath always intended helping Jud get into the restaurant business, so he put hismoney where his mouth wasand committed to the lease and committed to the plans," MrLedger said.

"He just wanted to be involved with his mates. He was just the kind of young man that gave a lot of people opportunities, all his friends, wherever they were in any part of life. That's just how hewas."

He said he it was satisfying to see that something his son envisaged had been finished. "Our family has suffered openly more than other families, in a way, because it's so public, but at the same time we're no different to other families that have lost children. It's heartbreaking."

Mr Ledger said the finished bar, with its rustic and recycled decor, was precisely the sort of place his son would have designed.

Mr Mongell, 35, is married to an Australian and befriended Ledger at a wedding on the Mornington Peninsula two years before the actor's death. They hit it off, becoming, as Mr Mongell said, dudes who hung out together.

They had in common the fact they were both returning to New York. They also had other shared interests in tattoos and food; they both liked Bills in Sydney and Cafe Gitane in Manhattan.

"I brought him over here andhe liked it right away," Mr Mongell said. "I took him skateboarding around the neighbourhood, showed him a lot of places for lease.

"He is still very important to all of us."

In contrast to Ledger's lonely death from an overdose of medicine in a Soho apartment, the bar hummed with activity last week during a function.

"I would just say it's a place where his friends swing by," Mr. Mongell said. "It's just more a place where the Australians in his life will continue to be around. We're still here; it's just Heath's no longer with us."

Thanks for the lovely pic. Chrissi. Heath and his hats, now that would be a set ofpictures and a half. It is not everyone who can carry off a hat,with such style and aplomb.Of course I am biased, he could wear a tea cosy on his head and I would still think he was cool!!!

This is my favorite style of hat on him... newsboy I guess you call it?  Actually this is one of my favorite pictures of him.  It makes me sad, but those two look like total partners in crime with their wacky getups.  I feel Heath's free spirit is alive and well in little Matilda... and with her little harmonica too, jeez... too precious.  I just know he was the most wonderful father.

Encounter/Heath tribute:

Quote
I met Heath Ledger in 2000. I was working on From Hell and he was shooting A Knights Tale which were both being shot in and around Prague.

It was one of the best and worst times of my life - I was in a Hollywood movie, shooting scenes with Johnny Depp and Robbie Coltrane but behind all the glitz and the glamour there was a sour taste to the whole experience: I (unlike many of the other actors working on the film), had been out in Prague for nearly three months, it was lonely living out of a hotel room and I had terrible anxiety and self doubt with regards to my part in the movie itself - coupled with some unpleasant incidents on set, I felt very isolated and vulnerable.

One evening during that time, some of the actors from my film had arranged to meet some of the actors from the other film at a night spot in Prague and I happened to be in that very same bar when they arrived. Out of everyone who was there, it was Heath who asked me if I would like to join their party, some of the guys had said hello to me when they arrived and Heath had deduced I must have been working on the other film and that I was on my own.

I had a really great time that night, and on a couple occasions Heath invited me over to his apartment to hang out with his friends. It was on one of those occasions that this photo was taken. Heath had discovered that I was an artist and that I was also a photographer and he had with him an old bashed up camera which he handed to me and asked if I wouldn't mind taking some shots of him and Heather Graham.

That will be my enduring memory of him - how he was completely genuine and his startling kindness - he made me feel included when I had been excluded and made my memories of Prague a great deal happier than they might have been... I can't imagine how devastated the people who knew him well must be.

I wanted to share this with the dA community as it's been reported that far right extremists intend to picket and disrupt his funeral. Know this, Heath Ledger was a good person, a kind person: please don't let anyone persuade you otherwise. His loss should be mourned, not mocked.

Everyone must click on the link to see the photo,it is simply breathtaking.

This small article and accompanying words, tucked away on an internet artists' site,sum up who Heath really was,in a way many photo journalists, with their spreads of photos and paragraphs full of superlatives quite frankly don't.
Heath was beautiful inside and out,generous of spirit and completely unpretentious.Here he is,filming as the lead in a Hollwood blockbuster,yet his actions are those of the friendly neighbour most of us would like to have.

It is an irony indeed, that one of the simplest, yet probably most poignant depictions of the man, is hidden away, just as Heath himself prefererred to be,incognito,blending into the surroundings.

Thankyou for finding this and bringng it into the world of Bettermost.It brought such a lump to my throat.

God that's so cute and heartbreaking. The hats are adorable. I wish Matlida's is spending time with her beloved father. I can't help but to feel a little angry at Heath for leaving this world. Life surely isn't fair. :'(
In that picture, they look so much alike.

I love the other photos and tributes. Heath is like a dove flying everywhere to everyone.

I am just going to say one big THANKYOU to everyone for all the recent Heath lovelines.
 For some reason, today I am having a really hard time processing/accepting the events of January.Maybe something to do with reading a quote where Heath,rings his agent during the filming of the Imaginarium and says "I'm really getting the hang of this at last.I think I'm beginning to know what I'm doing"
At last some of his self doubt seems to have dissipated and yet not long after,he was no longer. Oh dear, I fear I am turning into a silly middle aged woman.Who should know better.

Drinking at Five Leaves

By Annie Fischer
Tuesday, September 23rd 2008
 
Anyone hoping that Heath Ledger was taking cues from Beatrice Inn (his famously favorite haunt) when outlining the plans for his now-open Greenpoint spot Five Leaves will likely be disappointed. I went twice last week, and it's definitely not a place to rage—the "We close at midnight" thing isn't a joke, unfortunately, which I found out upon walking in on Wednesday night at 11:45 and hearing the bartender announce last call. I went back the next day at a more respectable hour to find the place about half-full, with a few small groups still ordering grub and a rotating cast of cute loners taking their places next to me at the bar. My roommate was happy to find that the place stocks Coopers Pale, a beer she fell in love with while living in Australia, the land of Ledger. (Owners are first-time restaurateurs Jud Mongell and Kathy Mecham.)

The space is beautiful, predictably: Designer John McCormick is also credited with the interiors of lookers Tailor and Smith & Mills. (Everyone keeps throwing around the word "nautical," which I'm a little burned out on—for me, it evokes the laid-back, beachy feeling of being near water more than being, like, in it.) They've got all the contrasts just right: An enormously heavy bathroom door balances the pretty glass-and-wire fixtures, and steel toughens up the clean, blond wood. The angles alone are enough to occupy the eye, with exaggerated plank lines running alongside the arcs and parabolas of the bar, and the asymmetry of the physical space itself playing along. (It's located in a weird little triangular space at the tippy-top of McCarren Park.)

Supposedly named for the Swan cigarette papers that tell you when there are just five left in a package—although it's also posited that Nick Drake's album Five Leaves Left was a factor—the place is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Morning people can swing by a window00 to the side of the bar for coffee and pastries, and happy-hour friends can tide over dinner with oysters. The staff is affable, the crowd is pretty but not intimidating (so far), and the location is perfect for pre-gaming. I can't rage there, but I like it anyway.

Exactly. That's how it is with me, optom. I mean, it's like he's NOT completely gone and that he's not really dead. And he's never left my mind. Never. Maybe never will as long as I live. I probably can't really accept that he's gone, either. You're not alone.

Yesterday I took my daughter to pick out her Halloween costume, and I was not prepared for all the Joker costumes at the store.  Heath seemed to be everywhere!  Expect plenty of little Jokers to show up at your door on Halloween this year.



Oh my !!!  That was exactly what happened to us.My middle son is going as the joker.I could not work out in my head, whether it was making me happy or quite indescribably sad. The latter I think probably. Bless him, he chose it because, he knows Mummy loves Heath, so what could I say.He went off with my husband, and when he came back put it on for me I hugged him so hard and was biting my bottom lip so hard, it was a minute before I could tell him how Brill. the costume was !

My daughter, miss fuss pot came back with nothing.She is so indecisive sometimes. My older son is not bothering.

Don't you just love that, you what, sort of look he does. It always reminds me of Ennis, but I see it in so many Heath photos, it must be a Heathism, I think.

Have a great break, Austria s stunning I am so envious.

As for the picture, I could gaze into those eyes for ever, in fact I could drown in them. It will seem so strange wthout your daily posting.

Me, too. I love his brown eyes. They're so mezmerizing. And his earrings. Personally, I find guys with earrings hot. But, yes, he's lovely in the picture.

Good morning,
thanks for filling the gap !!! Morning coffee just would not be the same otherwise. Love the pictures, now my equilibrium is balanced. I am so boring I have the same routine every a.m .Get rid of the last of the kids to the bus stop, put the kettle on, make our bed, then sit down with a big sigh,a cup of coffee and of course Heath.

Lovely as always.
 I remember seeing an interview as part of the press junket for the brothers Grimm. Matt Damon went up several points with me, he was so nice rescuing Heath, when he was obviously uncomfortable with the interviews. I  thought, how nice is that, Matt was distinctly more at ease, and he used that to steer many an awqward moment away from Heath.
Not in an arrogant or codescending way, just wittily and with a certain panache.

A little ode to the BBM pie-eating scene.  Just caught the end of the movie on tv, and this scene never fails to break my heart.  Of course, the whole movie does, but he just seems so broken and defeated here with the "Good for you..." and ah, he just plays if off so perfectly, expressing so much while saying so little.

You know what makes the pie scene so devastating? It's already so sad on itself, but to know that the worst is yet to come (directly in the next scene, no less)  - that is what makes it really devastating in my book.

Turning my mind from the pie scene to Heath is not exactly uplifting.

I'll keep the Heath pic I had wanted to post today for tomorrow. I need something goofy right now

I love the sad pictures as well. No need to apologise to me.I love anyone who takes the timeand trouble to post pics.Straight into my fan book!!!

It was just after all the shenanigans here the other night it was nice to have a smiley Heath.

I can't believe I am now for the 1st time ever ever, going to find something about Heath that is not 110% . He is wearing grey shoes !!!!

 I don't mind his wacky style,stripey socks shoes and shorts,funny purple hat, etc, in fact I find it really endearing, but grey shoes. Still it's Heath so they probably would have become the next fashion yes.

Oh well who cares, it's Heath and he is lovely and it is one of my favourite hats and he's smiling.

Special greetings today to all travelling Heathens and Brokies meeting up. Have a great time y'all. :)



I'll be meeting up on Tuesday with a fellow Heathen.  Not sure if that person wants it told yet, so will be cryptic.  :)

Have a wonderful time, I am having a wonderful time with my BBM/Heathen guest.It is an amazing and enriching experience, which has taught me true friendships can be made very quickly in some cases and also true friends can disagree and it does not eaken theie frienshio one atom. Probably the reverse.

It's still hard to see Heath in Ennis. When I look at those pics of course I know it's Heath who played Ennis, but to me, it IS Ennis, not Heath.
Guess this derives from the feeling of Ennis and Jack being so real, not fictional characters.

When I see Casanova, oh yes, that's Heath playing the character of Casanova, or it's Heath playing Gabriel Martin, or Dan or whatever character. Not with Ennis. Ennis just IS period.

I know. I feel exactly the same.

Even Annie Proulx said Heath knew Ennis better than she did and she created this character. That's quite a statement to make as an author.

Thanks for the pictures Chrissi.  :)

Thanks for the Ennis pictures, Chrissi. What a treat. I was thinking about what has been said and realised that there are only a few films where I completely forget it is Heath. BBM is one, but I also do not see Heath in TDK.That is different though because of all the makeup.

I also realised he hardly ever uses his own voice.I strugggle to think of another actor, who has such a wide range of accents, intonatons etc.Even now, listening to old interviews, his real voice comes as a shock.Even the real greats, eg Rchard Burton etc, it is still their accent and voice. Heath must have been a very good mimic at school Iwould think!

Thanks for posting the link.  I am always wondering how truthful these tell all books are.    I can see Heath saying something like this about the birth of his baby girl.

But the rest.    Heath didn't have bi polar disorder.

I just read on Truman's blog that today is also the birthday of Ben Harper. This video is so fitting for this thread that I repost it here (I know it's already posted somewhere way back on HHH).


Happy Birthday to Ben Harper!

Heath asked Ben Harper to write a song for Matilda. That's the song in the video. (I know most of you already know this, but we still get new people here on BM all the time)

Two of Heath Ledger's close friends have revealed how the late Australian actor yearned for friendships with ordinary people as his celebrity status soared.

Jud Mongell, Ledger's business partner in the New York eatery Five Leaves, and tattoo artist Scott Campbell became firm friends with the actor after Ledger's Oscar-nominated performance in Brokeback Mountain.

Campbell had done seven tattoos for Ledger.

"We would all hang out in the West Village, and he was just like the guy with a cigarette," Campbell told the New York Times.

"He loved when anyone would react to him as a normal person. He really appreciated that."

Ledger would give out his cigarettes and strike up a conversation with just about anyone, he said.

But the minute anyone said, 'You're Heath Ledger', the conversation would become stilted, Campbell said.

Ledger, 28, died on January 22 from an accidental overdose of a cocktail of medications. He was found dead in his Soho apartment by a masseuse.

The actor had just completed his last film, The Dark Knight.

In 2005 Ledger and Mongell met at a beach party in Australia and as their friendship developed, they planned an Australia-meets-America cafe bar.

The nautical-themed eaterie, specialising in oysters, opened on September 17, in the Williamsburg district of Brooklyn where Ledger had spent some time.

The area is known for its arts community and ethnic flavours.

"After a while, Heath had all his regular spots around here, and no one would call Page Six (the gossip page of the tabloid New York Post) anymore when he walked in the door, because nobody cared," Campbell told the paper.

"This (the cafe bar) would have been Heath's hangout," Mongell told the Times.

Mongell runs Five Leaves with his wife.

He still refers to Ledger as an equal partner in the business and says Ledger's father, Kim, manages the business finances.

Mongell said the actor took New York to his heart.

"He taught his daughter how to skateboard. He rode his bike over the Williamsburg Bridge. He visited farmers markets. He played chess in Washington Square Park and he brought coffee for the paparazzi," he told the newspaper.

"He was just one of us, man."

No I wasn't looking, I have no money, but my daughter was out yesterday with a friend and she saw them. Rang me on my cell to tell me. !!!

OH yeah, that's me , that's me, I'm Fiona !!!!!!   

Yippee present time !!!

THANKYOU SO MUCH.  Every one a gem. I was in such a bad mood this morning !!  I have just had a real old rant, now I feel much better.
I must mail Mandy quickly so she does not need to call and talk me off the ledge. Poor lady, I started a mail about a pet hate of mine and just took off like a witch on a broomstick. !!!!!

I'm not sure what picture to post today. My mind is still full with the American election. Since this election will effect all of us, no matter where we live, today's pic will also be an international one: a pic from Italy of an Aussie living in the US.

Good morning Heathens :)

For the start into a new week I have a video instead of a picture today.
The author of the vid used several shots from the same occasions and kind of "blends" them together, so it almost comes across as moving images. I find the technique quite intriguing.
And of course lots of beautiful Heath pics in there. Enjoy!

Thanks Elle. I still can't see anyone from the BBM people. Jake should be there, Ang, Diana, ... Maybe they weren't at the luncheon.
But what strikes me is that I don't recognize anyone. You'd think in a group photo of people nominated for the Academy Awards you'd recognize the one or other, especially if it's from the one year we payed close attention to the Oscars (*grrr*).
On the other side, maybe I wouldn't have recognized Heath and Michelle either if I hadn't known they're in there *shrugs*

I so love the fact that you take the trouble to post pics and keep him alive for some of us besotted fans.
In these horrid days of no money etc. a bit of Heath really can make a bad day better.
I don't ever want the Imaginarium to come out, because that really will be it then. Hard to take in.As is the fact that it is coming up one year and it still hurts.

H Chrissi I'm thinking I see Diana Ossana.  See the woman in the front row with a red dress on?  See the guy two seats over who's got dark skin?  See the blond woman two people above him?  I'm thinking that blond woman is Diana.  What do you think?

Yep, it's Charlize Theron. I now found out some people. Went to Getty images and searched for the luncheon. Then I could identify some by their clothes.

LTR:

The bright yellow conjoined circles are William Hurt and Diana Ossana.
Green (second to front tow) = Gustavo
White = Jake and behind him George Clooney. But I wouldn't bet on Clooney.
Pale yellow circle: the lady in red, Amy Adams (whoever that is)
Red circle: Charlize Theron, like Elle said
Turquoise circle: Heath and Michelle
Orange circle: Felicity Huffman

Just for the records: the picture wasn't made by me. It's from Leder's Ladies, like most of my pics. I'm no photoshop magican; I'm still in photoshop elementary school (or junior high maybe, lol).
A pity that the artist isn't credited on LL, otherwise I would have credited them here, too.

I also wish Ang Lee would have shown a bit more of it. Just a few seconds.... pretty please... but no, all the happy scenes go by much too fast. Katherine once said if you would cut together all perfectly happy and contend moments, you'd probably get 2 and a half minutes of pure bliss. *sigh*

Extreme change of topic, from BBM to TDK. I've found new TDK pics, including BTS and pics from the HBO special. They're over on LJ, but the poster gave the source, which is a superhero forum. I'll post the pics in 640X480. At the source, you can get most of them in higher resolution as well as more TDK pics from Christian Bale, posters, and so on.

Here's the source:

I can't look at all the pics from the press junkets and promotions etc. The most talented one and the one who made the film such a run a way success is not there

TDK really should be renamed The Joker, it was that performance that had everyone raving,even the action hero boys. It is also so sad that he was probably I think the youngest actor in the cast. Ah well Iwill just keep visiting here for my fix !!!!

Tell ya what: for a good while, I thought TDK is named after the Joker :laugh:.
I thought the Joker character was meant with "dark knight", similar to Darth Vaider being the former Jedi-Knight who switched to the dark side.
I was a bit disappointed when I learned that Batman is actually TDK ::).
TDK was my first superhero movie ever, maybe that's an excuse for my ignorance ;D.


Oh, and my hubby thought the movie's title were "The Dark Night" and once signed an email to me with "[Dein] Licht des Tages (=[your] Light of the Day)". I was like WTF? because I didn't get the reference. :laugh:

But I should have known Chrissi would be on the case of getting us pics we (or at least I) haven't seen before!

The one with Heath and CB sitting there on the ready in their costumes while the crew is setting up the TDK interrogation scene is a *great* one!

And I really, truly, loved this pensive one;

I must admit though that TDK didn't grow on me - quite the opposite. I think it was an easily forgettable film, with many plot holes and more than a few irksome stereotypes, too many and too long car chases, too many and too loud explosions.... In hindsight, even the Joker paled pretty fast IMO. Except that whole Joker-as-nurse section of the film, which was totally utterly brilliant in all its hilarious slapsticky OTT mostly mime-acting.  I won't buy the DVD, I think - I'd rather re-watch one of Heath's better films. Unless there are a lot of behind-the-scenes type stuff with a lot of Heathy goodness on the DVD. Then I'll cave in soon enough.

We will still get to see lots of Imaginarium pics. Albeit it will be an experience interspersed with very mixed feelings :-\.
I can wait for the Imaginarium to come out, I'm in no rush to see it. As long as we haven't seen that one, there's still something new.

Hi Mikaela,

I find the easiest way to resize pictures is to add "width=X" next to the [ img ] (put a space between img and width).
For instance, here's your picture with width=500:

Or, width=300:

I like this image for the ad. It's unexpected, in a way it's almost like he's taking a bow. He certainly deserves a nomination, as does the film. whether or not he'll win, who can say? He is my sentimental favorite though. I'll be rooting for him even though I like the other potential nominees this year too.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: optom3 on November 25, 2008, 10:01:46 am
The picture being used does almost look like he is doffing his cap and taking a final curtain call. Very sad, but I am sure very carefully chosen.

I am unsure about the Oscar, as I think it is too late in the main sense.Should have been less cowardly and awarded it to him for Ennis.

Oh, I think it's a safe bet he'll be nominated. 

TDK is the second most grossing film of all time in the USA, and there was pretty unanimous consent among audience and critics alike that it was the Joker made the film worth seeing. Money talks. (Remember the Oscars "Titanic" received, including "Best Film". There is just no way that wasn't 98% due to the incredible teen angst-fuelled box office.) So I'll be quite amazed if Heath's not even nominated.

They're even running FYC ads for TDK as best film, and for Christian Bale as "Best Actor". I think those nominations are much more doubtful, - but who knows. IMO CB melted into the wallpaper and didn't leave me with any favourable impression at all in TDK. Talk about angst that just wasn't there....

It isn't too far out to think Heath might even win, though IMO that's much more doubtful since too many of the voters will rather scratch the back of someone who might reciprokate down the road.

At any rate, I'm with you Chrissi - it's too late anyway.

The only thing I'm thinking is that if he actually won, the golden guy might be a nice memento for Matilda.  :-\

Yup, I agree. Strong probability bordering on certainty he'll be nominated, but there is always the possibility of a surprise. I also think it likely that he'd be nominated if he were still with us. Assuming he is nominated, it's toss up as to whether he'd win. In his favor is the indisputable greatness of his performance and characterization of the Joker, and many seem to feel he was deserved to win the last time he was nominated. These two things would be true if he were still with us. That he is no longer here is the likely reason he'd not win next year.

Never too late to acknowlege his talent. EnnisJack is my favorite fictional(ish) character of all time (though I am fond of Mary Poppins)  and Brokeback Mountain my favorite film but Heath is just as worthy of a win for TDK as he was for BbM. Recognition of him for his performance as the Joker should not, IMO, be in any way equated to BbM.
TDK doesn't even exist in the same dimension as BbM for me but Heath was a wonder.

You do have a point here. I agree with everything you said, except maybe for the first sentence. I also think his performance as the Joker was oscar-worthy, so logically they should give it to him. It's not that I wouldn't root for him (you betcha I would!).

I agree with it being too late, for me anyway.There is no doubt his performance in TDK was amazing and Oscar worthy in its own right.
I have read so much about Heath wanting the recognition of his peers.It was one of the things that kept him choosing such diverse and undoubtedly difficult roles.It would have been so good for him to be awarded in his lifetime.
The money and fame were not things that interested him. He wanted recognition, but only for his acting.

My heart aches when I realise he never really got that in his lifetime.

, it would be nice for Matilda to have and realise just how amazing her dady was.

Still haven't seen this movie. It was on German TV a while ago, in the middle of the night and I forgot to record it.

Heath looks amazing in it,that however is probably the only reason to watch it.The film itself I found pretty hard work,others may of course disagree.

Yep, the Gyllenhaalics were much more in numbers and had a headstart over the Heathens. We were just about to overtake the JJJ thread; Clarissa had called out a new Heath game, and it was Jan 21st.

*sigh*

Don't take this the wrong way - just seems this is my day for being contrary. Hope y'all will forgive me.

When were these pictures taken - late 2007? I don't think he looks hot in the good sense of the word - it's probably quite a lot of useless hindsight on my part, but -  this was the phase where he really started looking worn out and stressed out and dishevelled and was showing up nilly-willy on celebrity-type events on both sides of the Atlantic like this one wearing the same clothes (when did he start attending fashion shows all on his own?) and didn't look to be getting enough sleep or being in a really healthy place.

Given that we now know what kind of troubles he must have had sleeping and coping, in order to be using the drugs he was taking... it actually kind of pinches my heart to see these pictures.

You're right, that was exactly the time.

Hindsight is a bitch, isn't it? In hindsight, most of those late 07 pics also give me a pinch (but the ones I posted much less, and the first one not at all, otherwise I wouldn't find it hot).
But then, so many things do. TDK coming out, seeing it for the first time, the Oscar buzz surrounding it now, other awards Heath is nominated for or wins, and to me especially BTS pics of Parnassus.
It has become part of the deal. And since we can't fix it  *sigh*

I think we all have things that trigger such feelings. Some are the same for many of us, some are different, and it's not statical over time (at least not for me).

I have always liked these pictures and have never associated them with negative things, but I wasn´t aware of exactly when they were taken so I guess that has a lot to do with it.

Wearing that t-shirt again was surely mostly a statement, though :)

Lots of things will suddenly make me sad. Hearing an Australian accent. The pics of him in the Imaginarium.
Dreading the fact that his very last film may well be slated as a lot of folk are not mad keen on Gilliams work.
The fact that Matilda looks so like him and also the horrible fact that it will soon be a year.

I still love to see pics of him and even some of the really "hot" ones to me, blond tousled hair sadden me even more as he was so vibrant in those.

Worst thing of all having to use was instead of is.

Exactly.  And I think if we look back on this thread we were even expressing concern then.  I was. 

BTW, the guy on the other side of Heath is Michael Stipe of REM, and I'm guessing that this was the same day that the photos of Heath wearing the upside down big glasses were taken.

Chrissi, these were a wonderful find.  Thank you.  :-*

Here are three of us expressing concern in early Sep 2007:

Quote from: serious crayons on September 09, 2007, 04:59:17 pm
Well, here's another unsettling theory. He's no doubt been under a huge amount of emotional strain lately for all the obvious reasons. Maybe this is sort of his way of acting out -- a kind of "Oh, f'ck it all!" response, almost semi-self-destructive. I mean, he's not just underdressed for an awards ceremony. He's not even committing a small rebellious act, like wearing Converse high-tops with a tuxedo. He's out-and-out absurdly dressed.

All the outfits we've snarked about in the past, the Smurf hat, the too-small jackets, the red sunglasses, etc., all seem like sincere choices that just happened to be unflattering. But this! This is like giving the finger to all those really-dressed-up people on the red carpet with him.

If it's a self-destructive kind of act, I feel bad for him. But the bright side is that there are far worse ways to self-destruct than wearing red-striped socks.






Quote from: Mikaela on September 09, 2007, 05:04:17 pm
That's why I'm hoping this weird clothes ensemble isn't just the outward tell-tale sign of some even more unsettling self-destructive behaviour. I think it was the vest buttoned askew that got me to worrying about that, especially, - even more than those socks.*sigh*

Quote from: Shasta542 on September 09, 2007, 05:09:15 pm
I love you, Heath.

He's going thru a hard time in his private life--he needs support. He is most likely exhausted from his grueling time on the Dark Knight set, as well. He should have stayed at home and rested that night, I think.

I have done things in the throes of a depressiion that I would not have done otherwise--just--no one cared if I did it or not. He's in the public spotlight, so his bad behavior gets chronicled.

THERE is a scene in the new Hollywood blockbuster Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke finds impossible to watch without shedding a tear.

Tears rolled down her face when she shot the scene. Again in the quiet and darkness of the editing booth.

The emotional trigger has nothing to do with the storyline of Twilight or the acting by the young cast.

The scene takes place in a rugged, forest region of Oregon in the US north-west and it was while scouting the location on January 22 that Hardwicke heard her beloved friend, Heath Ledger, was dead.

"We were in a van scouting," Hardwicke, her eyes moistening again and hands trembling slightly, told AAP during an interview in a suite in Los Angeles' Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
"Someone's phone rang. They answered it and I instantly realised something was wrong with the reaction.

"It was very strange. The person said: 'OK, I won't say anything'.

"I said: 'What was that about?' and they said: 'We don't even know if it is true. There's rumours Heath has passed away'.

"Then one second later my cell phone rang and it didn't stop ringing."

Hardwicke, a 53-year-old California director whose breakthrough was the 2003 independent drama, Thirteen, cast Ledger as the lead of her 2005 film, Lords of Dogtown, set on the Los Angeles beaches of Santa Monica and Venice.

The director soon received confirmation the rumours were true.

Ledger had died from an accidental overdose of prescription painkillers and anti-depressants in his Manhattan apartment.

"Everybody who worked on Dogtown called because they all loved Heath," Hardwicke said.

"To all of the kids, Emile Hirsch and Victor Rasuk, Heath was their mentor. They all freaked out beyond despair.

"For me, I can't really watch the one scene in Twilight where I received that call.

"That's where I heard that news. It is my one little thing. My moment.

"To hear about someone you love, someone so magical, passing like that, was just crushing."

^ The left arm looks different from one photo to the other.  Was he modeling non-permanent tattoo sketches in some of those cases?

In any case, I imagine the makeup department had to cover a lot of those for the jumping-off-a-cliff scene, or any shirtless scene he did . . .

Paul is right, the second pic is reversed, it's Heath's right arm we see. Great parts of the tattoos were fairly new, that's the first pics we see of them. Before we've only seen them in Fantauzzo's painting.
I find them somewhat disturbing. I like tattoos, but this massive covering up at once doesn't seem healthy (oh well, there's that bitch of hindsight again :().

Anyway:

Good morning Heathens :)

for today's Heath pic scroll a bit. I think Monika's pictures should be today's Heath pic.
Or wait, I'll repost the matching Fantauzzo painting. That's the only other time we've seen Heath's latest tats.

Yes, they are poignant, aren´t they?

They were part of an article onScott Campbell (I posted the article in the Tribute section). The pictures were taken by Scott and only recently released by him (December 3rd).

Among other things, Scott tells of how he tattooed Heath´s parents and sisters on the day before the memorial service.

I´d love to know what all the new tattoos meant.

Also when did he sudenly start to look so dishevelled. I don't mind a man with "bed hair". There seems more than that to Heath's apperance though.
I still love the photos as I do any of Heath.

The central Heath in the portrait is so haunting, it is very hard to look at for me.He looks as if he has the weight of the whole world on his shoulders.

I think one of the photos is reversed. 

I agree. It is his right arm that has the firefly looking tattoo and the one with the balloons. In that picture, it looks like it is his left arm.

       Reuters News service, saying


         For those of you who were upset that Heath Ledger was overlooked for the role of the
Joker in TDK.  He has been given the Best Supporting Actor award by the Washington DC

It is getting very close to the 1 year anniversary and that is going to be so hard. I love that he is now being recognsed for his work. I wish with all my heart that he was still here, to see the accolades for himself.

I love that photo. I got it as a big. glossy photo on my wall. I always wonder what exactly goes through his mind, everytime I look at it. It seems to me like if he´s really focusing and trying to get into character.

edit. Or well, the other one of Heath with Ang standing next to him. Don´t seem to be able to "quote" that one of some reason.

The reason is because the second pic (with Heath, Ang and Rodrigo) is an attachment to the post. You have to paste&copy the pic's adress, then you can add it to your post. But it isn't shown when using the quote function.

2009 Golden Globe Nominees Announced

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Frost/Nixon" led the Golden Globes on Thursday with five nominations each, among them best drama, while "Doubt" also has five, including four acting slots.

Other best-drama nominees: "The Reader," "Revolutionary Road" and "Slumdog Millionare."

Meryl Streep had two nominations, best dramatic actress for "Doubt" and musical or comedy actress for "Mamma Mia!"; and Kate Winslet also had two, best actress for "Revolutionary Road" and supporting-actress for "The Reader."

Also chosen for dramatic actress were: Anne Hathaway, "Rachel Getting Married"; Angelina Jolie, "Changeling"; and Kristin Scott Thomas, "I've Loved You So Long."

Nominees for dramatic actor were Leonardo DiCaprio, "Revolutionary Road"; Frank Langella, "Frost/Nixon"; Brad Pitt, "Benjamin Button"; Sean Penn, "Milk"; and Mickey Rourke, "The Wrestler."

"Doubt" also scored supporting nominations for Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis, plus a screenplay slot for director John Patrick Shanley, who adapted his Pulitzer Prize-winning play.

The year's biggest hit, the Batman blockbuster, "The Dark Knight," came in with strong awards buzz across the board but had only one nomination, supporting actor for Heath Ledger as the Joker.

"Heath was a friend of mine," said actor Terrence Howard, a presenter at the nominations ceremony. "He gave his all in that film. I think he will win in that category. He'll also get an Oscar."

Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. were nominated as supporting actor for "Tropic Thunder." Each played odd roles: Cruise hidden behind a bald cap, beard and fat suit, Downey playing a white actor who undergoes a skin-tinting procedure to play a black man.

One of the year's biggest comedy hits, "Sex and the City," was shut out completely.

The Harvey Milk film biography "Milk" also had been at the top of awards watchers' lists but only grabbed an acting nomination for Penn.

Clint Eastwood had two music nominations for his "Changeling" score and for co-writing the title song for "Gran Torino." But he missed out on directing nominations for both films and for an acting slot in "Gran Torino," in which he starred.

While the hit "Mamma Mia!" was among best musical or comedy nominees, the category was dominated by smaller movies. The other contenders are "Burn After Reading," "Happy-Go-Lucky," "In Bruges" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona."

The animated hits "WALL-E" and "Bolt" had two nominations apiece, for best animated picture and best song, the "WALL-E" tune co-written by Peter Gabriel and the "Bolt" song co-written by Miley Cyrus, who also lent her voice to one of the film's lead characters.

The song category was loaded with big names, including Bruce Springsteen for the title tune of "The Wrestler" and Beyonce Knowles for co-writing a song in "Cadillac Records."

"Vicky Cristina Barcelona" earned a supporting-actress nomination for Penelope Cruz, and her co-stars Javier Bardem and Rebecca Hall each grabbed lead-acting slots in the musical or comedy categories.

Joining Hall and Streep in the musical or comedy actress lineup were Sally Hawkins for "Happy-Go-Lucky," Frances McDormand for "Burn After Reading" and Emma Thompson for "Last Chance Harvey."

Along with Bardem, "In Bruges" stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson both were nominated for best musical or comedy actor. Also chosen were James Franco for "Pineapple Express" and Dustin Hoffman for "Last Chance Harvey."

What she said. I saw the nomination on a news site and trotted over here to read the comments.


Having gained some distance to the whole TDK thing I think Heath should have been nominated as "Best Actor", if anything - not "best supporting". He made that film what it was nealry single-handedly and he was so much more visible than pale and forgettable C. Bale. And then Gary Oldman could have had the Best supporting nom instead!  :)   ;D

But I'm glad the film didn't get a "Best film" nod because it really wasn't that good. I still can't wrap my mind around the US box office.

Hmmm, or maybe Aron Eckhart? I mean, that Two Face character...wow...THAT was real acting!  ;D

I worry that I'm weird because Christian Bale just doesn't do a thing for me. I can see he's good looking and all but he always just seems to blend into the wallpaper.  Yes, I'm probably far from right - I clearly need nurse Joker to look after me! Stat!  ;)

It was so nice to see all the reporting on this nomination today.  I'll admit that it certainly brought a tear to my eye.  What a tragically bittersweet thing this award season will be.

I'll also say, that I quite like the Golden Globes.  I think the range of categories and blend of movies and TV are interesting.  And, the Globes did right by our BBM at least in major categories like Best Picture and Director.

No matter what happens with the Oscars, I'll still be very bitter about the Oscars.  To a certain extent, I still feel that any nod the Oscars give to The Dark Knight is some kind of gesture making up for the BBM diss.

And, in each case (Globes and Oscars) I still think Heath really should have won for Ennis and not the Joker.  Since Heath isn't here to enjoy these awards it also makes it hard to know how to interpret these awards (assuming that he'll win).  Who will accept for him on stage?

I wholeheartedly agree Amanda. It really bothers me that Heath might win for portraying such a nihilistic, empty character. I guess I'm still not over the fact that the awards people just didn't see or appreciate what an amazing acting tour-de-force his Ennis really was.

I'm never going to feel the same about the Oscars either; and if Heath wins an Oscar this time, I'll certainly be happy about it but will also be thinking "yeah, you appreciate his talent -- now."

But I'm more pissed at his not getting Best Actor for Ennis than about his getting the recognition for the Joker character. I was impressed with the movie overall, which I know isn't altogether a popular reaction. Never would have thought an 'action' movie based on a comic book would get that much crossover, and IMO Heath was the #1 reason.

I'd love to imagine Michelle accepting the award, but then again that might be so painful for her.....  :(

He has already.  I think he's very much interested in being there for Heath as long as he's granted the opportunity.

Terry Gilliam, here with Heath at the 2005 Venice Film Festival, also directed the actor in "The Brothers Grimm." (©Retna Ltd.


(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb162/ifyoucantfixit/STAR_27406_20055_240.jpg)


Terry Gilliam, who was in the middle of filming "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" with Heath Ledger when he died accidentally from a combination of prescription drugs in January, doesn't want him to become part of the live-fast, die-young Hollywood pantheon. "When he died, there were all these nonsensical stories coming out about Heath Ledger, James Dean and River Phoenix, all destroyed by the system -- but that's bull----. What happened was an absurd accident. I still don't understand it," the director writes in a tribute for the London Observer. "I know he was exhausted -- the last thing he said was that he was so tired and just wanted to sleep." Gilliam, who was able to finish the movie thanks to the efforts of what he calls the "Holy Trinity" of Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell (they reportedly donated their paychecks to Ledger's 3-year-old daughter, Matilda), salutes the actor as "utterly generous and always aware of everyone else, and he behaved as if there was nothing special about him -- he was just a guy." One the filmmaker will sorely miss: "You actually think at certain times angels come down to earth and Heath might have been one of them. And then he's gone and you think: This is all wrong, all the other people should be dead. He should be leading us all into a wonderful world of adventure."

Heath Ledger
The actor, who died aged 28 on 22 January from an accidental overdose, remembered by the director who was working with him at the time

Terry Gilliam
The Observer, Sunday 14 December 2008

http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/dec/14/terry-gilliam-remembers-heath-ledger

Any time I try to describe Heath it becomes a series of clichés, because he was extraordinary and, unfortunately, most of those clichés have already been used up on lesser people.

I met him for the first time in LA around 2001, when we were working on The Brothers Grimm. He was a ball of energy, firing on all cylinders, and he had a magnetic quality. I liked him immediately and even though I hadn't actually seen Heath in anything at that point,

I said to him: 'You're on. Let's do it.'

He was one of those blessed human beings who have the facility to do so many things at the same time. When he wasn't acting, he was directing music videos and supporting young musicians. He was working on the script for a film he was preparing to direct. He had an incredibly artistic side, and he was practically a grand master at chess. That's why, when he died, it was as if half of the world had collapsed.

He died halfway through the film I'm currently making, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. We had finished shooting in London on Saturday night. On Sunday, I went to Vancouver to prepare for the next stage and Heath went to New York. He was supposed to be turning up in Vancouver on the Friday. On Tuesday he was dead.

None of us could deal with it. It was impossible - that was the problem. It was absolutely impossible that this could be a fact. But there it was. I was working in the art department when I heard the news, and we stayed there all afternoon. At sunset, thousands of ravens flew over the window and I thought: those are the ravens from The Brothers Grimm, and they are all going to salute Heath.

In terms of his acting, it still rankles with me that he's dead because he would have been streets ahead of anyone else in his generation. He just kept getting better and better. He was fearless. On Parnassus, he was improvising all the time and it was better than what we had written. I don't normally encourage that kind of improvisation, but in a sense I felt Heath was writing this film. He was an incredibly funny performer when he wanted to be - his comic timing was just extraordinary - and then he could break your heart the next minute.

Usually, with actors, it's all about themselves. But it was never like that with Heath. He was completely supportive of everything else around him. He got better performances out of other actors - he just drew it out of them. He was utterly generous and always aware of everyone else, and he behaved as if there was nothing special about him - he was just a guy.

His physicality was extraordinary, too. I remember Monica Bellucci turning up to make Grimms. She went into the make-up room and Heath's picture was on the wall. She hadn't met him and I don't think she knew exactly who he was, but immediately she went, whoosh, to that picture. That was the kind of attraction Heath had. Women adored him and men loved him.

We've all agreed to call Parnassus 'A film from Heath Ledger and friends' because I don't think it is a Terry Gilliam film. I think it's something that his life and death has created. When he died, I said it was over. We can't carry on. But everybody said, 'You've got to carry on' - for the film, for Heath's last performance. It wasn't possible for any one person to replace him so we made the quantum leap and got three people - Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law. The Holy Trinity. They came in and they pulled it off and I think it works brilliantly.

When he died, there were all these nonsensical stories coming out about Heath Ledger, James Dean and River Phoenix, all destroyed by the system - but that's bullshit. What happened was an absurd accident. I still don't understand it. I know he was exhausted - the last thing he said was that he was so tired and just wanted to sleep. You actually think at certain times angels come down to earth and Heath might have been one of them. And then he's gone and you think: this is all wrong, all the other people should be dead. He should be leading us all into a wonderful world of adventure.

N'Fa working on Ledger tribute

By Jonathon Moran
December 14, 2008 12:00am


(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/Ellemeno_2006/nfa.gif)

HEATH Ledger's close friend and creative collaborator N'Fa Forster-Jones is trying to work out how to mark the anniversary of the actor's death.

Ledger, who died of an accidental prescription drug overdose on January 22, directed two video clips from N'Fa's solo album, Cause and Effect. The pair were long-time friends, meeting at age four while growing up in Perth.

``I don't know, sometimes I find things too much to write about so maybe something will happen,'' N'Fa told Insider at last weekend's Homebake festival when asked about the anniversary of Ledger's passing.

``We are trying to work out some sort of celebration. I am tyring to work out all of that, how to deal with it.''

Ledger and N'Fa were in the process of setting up a production company _ called Rocking Chair _ before hisuntimely death.

``Things have kind of changed since his passing,'' he said.

``A lot of things had to fold because it was sort of impossible. So all of us who have, I guess, been left in waiting are all just working out ways forward and trying to be positive and also keep his spirit alive because he was always filling us with energy and positivity.''

Prior to going solo, N'Fa fronted acclaimed hip hop outfit 1200 Techniques. He's spent much of this year travelling the world, working on no less than five albums, the first of which is a project titled Brain Wash.

Thanks for the articles, Ellemeno!

"You actually think at certain times angels come down to earth and Heath might have been one of them. And then he's gone and you think: this is all wrong, all the other people should be dead. He should be leading us all into a wonderful world of adventure."

Those were pretty much my first thoughts as well.  Obviously I didn't know him as the director did, but all I could think about was how wrong it was for him to be gone of all people, with all he gave us, and all he had left to accomplish.  It makes me so angry when people like him die, young people with so much left to give the world.  Less than two months after Heath died, the student body president at my alma mater, the University of North Carolina, was murdered and the feelings I felt were very similar, because I felt that the world was cheated out of this individual that had done so much good and was only just beginning to make a difference, "leading us all into a wonderful world of adventure."  I know it happens all the time, but it never gets any easier to accept.

On Parnassus, he was improvising all the time and it was better than what we had written. I don't normally encourage that kind of improvisation, but in a sense I felt Heath was writing this film. He was an incredibly funny performer when he wanted to be - his comic timing was just extraordinary - and then he could break your heart the next minute.

Usually, with actors, it's all about themselves. But it was never like that with Heath. He was completely supportive of everything else around him. He got better performances out of other actors - he just drew it out of them. He was utterly generous and always aware of everyone else, and he behaved as if there was nothing special about him - he was just a guy.

His physicality was extraordinary, too. I remember Monica Bellucci turning up to make Grimms. She went into the make-up room and Heath's picture was on the wall. She hadn't met him and I don't think she knew exactly who he was, but immediately she went, whoosh, to that picture. That was the kind of attraction Heath had. Women adored him and men loved him.

We've all agreed to call Parnassus 'A film from Heath Ledger and friends' because I don't think it is a Terry Gilliam film. I think it's something that his life and death has created. When he died, I said it was over. We can't carry on. But everybody said, 'You've got to carry on' - for the film, for Heath's last performance. It wasn't possible for any one person to replace him so we made the quantum leap and got three people - Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law. The Holy Trinity. They came in and they pulled it off and I think it works brilliantly.

When he died, there were all these nonsensical stories coming out about Heath Ledger, James Dean and River Phoenix, all destroyed by the system - but that's bullshit. What happened was an absurd accident. I still don't understand it. I know he was exhausted - the last thing he said was that he was so tired and just wanted to sleep. You actually think at certain times angels come down to earth and Heath might have been one of them. And then he's gone and you think: this is all wrong, all the other people should be dead. He should be leading us all into a wonderful world of adventure.

Ditto.

Yes, I read something similar last week - I think it was in Newsweek online. A brief "in memorial" over a considerable number of  cultural icons, actors etc. who left us in 2008. What struck me the most was how advanced in years most of the people mentioned were - they'd mostly lived long and rich lives into their 80's and 90's. Paul Newman was among them. Also there were a few had passed away in their 50's. And then there was Heath....  :'(

As for the retrospect of the year shows: I didn't watch a single one of them this year. You never know what they'll show and I didn't want to see the pics from January again. Came across one of them in a magazine recently :(.

Anyway, something more uplifting to start the day:

Good morning Chrissi,
thankyou so much for a whole year of Heath loveliness. I cannot believe we are on the cusp of another year. I do so wish life had a rewind button sometimes. I will have to stay away from the yearly summary programmes in case any of "those" Heath pictures emerge.

I wish you a very content and peaceful  New Year, and an enormous thanks for brightening up many a bad morning here,

I think that's a quintessential image (not sure if that's spelled right or the best word choice) - I listened to the short story on CD during one of my holiday drives...  I was struck by more optimism in the prologue than I had remembered (the good memories of Jack that stoke the fire), but I missed knowing Ennis decided to go to Junior's wedding...  otherwise, same gripping, heart twisting feelings as before.  I haven't been able to watch the movie in a long time.  I also have purchased I'm Not There, The Patriot, and The Dark Knight on DVD.  And haven't watched any of them.  Somehow not watching them on my DVD player helps me pretend a little.

There has been a row of Heath movies on German TV lately. I didn't watch a single one of them when it was aired. Instead I recorded them and watched them when I felt I'm ready to do so. And I haven't watched all yet.
It makes me ridiculously happy when I movies with Heath are shown on TV, but this doesn't mean I watch them.

It's always a conscious decision to see a movie with Heath (or not), so I can understand where you're coming from. Trying to pretend a little can make life easier. I did that a lot last Jan/Feb.

I didn't have any sort of investment in last year's Oscars...   I didn't remember that.

But the Oscars are announced in the morning, and January 22, 2008 was a long day. In fact, if I hadn't refreshed a news page late in the evening before closing the PC down as I was going to bed, it would have seemed an entirely ordinary day.  :'( :-\ :-\ :-\ *sigh*

Oh, I'm very sure he'll be nominated. The win is much more doubtful.


And imagine the bad, bad PR for the Academy Awards if they didn't nominate him! The Oscar nom news headlines would all be "Oscar snubs Ledger on the anniversary of his....  "  :-\

Given the voting system that lead to the Academy Awards nominations I'm not quite sure all the voters have  made the connection between the dates, but otherwise that kind of non-acting related consideration is just the kind of politicking that engenders Oscar noms and Oscar wins IMO.

He has a stunning smile and it does not seem like a year.
I watched Casanova last night and saw his lovely smile so many times. These days I can't even watch the comic films without crying. It seems to be getting worse at the moment not better. !!!!
Perhaps it's the one year thing, plus award season etc ??

Sure is.
It´s so hard to express how you feel. It´s like there are not words for it. It seems like sorrow automatically turns you into some Ennis-type character that just can´t find the right words.

What a very good way of describing it.
 I feel like a mumbling, bumbling incoherant idiot these days. For some reason even watching what used to be feel good films, like AKT and Casanova makes me cry. In some ways they are worse, as he is so vibrant and alive it seems hard to reconcile.

siouxi, if you want to get rid of the commands visible on either side of your sig picture, go to your Profile, then into Forum Profile Information.  Change the center commands on either side of the Image url to read

[ center] and [ /center]  (without the space after the first brackets)


That should eliminate the printed command being seen and also center the image in your sig.  :)

This montage was put together by his friends at The Masses.  In it, you can see hiim directing "Morning Yearning," the Ben Harper video; as Gil said, "Black Dog," by Nick Drake; an image of Heath throwing Matilda up in the air in a swimming pool.  I wish I knew what the one with the woman in the broad-brimmed hat is.  I think they did a really wonderful job with it.

"The Dark Knight" also won a pair of trophies: best action movie and best supporting actor for Heath Ledger. The crowd rose to its feet as the film's director, Christopher Nolan, accepted the award for Ledger.

"I can't presume to speak for him. His voice was as unique as it was original," said Nolan, adding that working with the actor "was one of the greatest experiences any of us ever had or will have."

"His contributions to cinema should be greatly appreciated," Nolan said, "so thanks for this appreciation."

TDK won big at the People's Choice Awards. It took all five awards it was nominated for. One was for Heath and Christan Bale, as best match.

"On behalf of all of the cast, thank you very much to the fans," Bale said. "Here's to Heath."


Here's a video of the TDK tribute at the awards show:

Oh my, it is so bittersweet, I can hardly bear it. To see his mage instead of him in person is heartbreaking. I hope he can see from wherever he is, all the wonderful tributes from his peers. He would have been overwhelmed I think. I am already a basket case and there is still the 22nd and the Oscars to get through.

It was such a nice, emotional moment.  I feel like I was sort of punched in the gut (in a good way... maybe more like "stabbed in the heart") when they announced his name.  I'm not surprised he won, and I'm not surprised that Nolan accepted either.

It's interesting that Jake presented the clip for Benjamin Button in close proximity (time-wise) to Heath's award.  I think it would have been way too hard for him to make that acceptance.

It really is horribly sad.  It's such a tragedy that Heath isn't here to enjoy the award.  :'(

And, I still contend that it's a tragedy that he won this award for the Joker and not for Ennis.  He was nominated for a Globe for Ennis, but didn't win.  At least the Globes gave BBM the best picture award.

I think it is unsurprising evidence of just how much homophobia controlled the awards season that year.  To my mind, Heath gave the performance of a lifetime in Brokeback, and kept up the same quality in his role as the Joker, and yet they could not acknowledge him due to their own narrow-mindedness.

So true.  And they've given him this award not only for Joker, but for all his work, and mostly for Brokeback.  But they (the Oscars mostly, at least the GG's gave BBM the best picture) were too chicken shit to do it for Brokeback and when he was alive.  I'd say this award is mostly for Brokeback, and it's ok now to give it because they're not truly calling it the award for Brokeback.  It's ok as long as we as a society don't call it what it is, when it comes to being gay.  The legacy of homophobia and the story of Brokeback continues....

Philip Seymour Hoffman did an impression  of Truman Capote.  Who has ever wanted to see that movie twice?  Heath created the role of Ennis, with incredible humanity and subtlety.  There's no comparison, and there never will be. 
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Brown Eyes on January 11, 2009, 10:57:26 pm
Yes, I agree Buds.  I think in some ways it's a "legacy" type award.  And, by that for Heath it really means BBM.  Of course, I truly do think his performance as the Joker was wonderful.  But, clearly, at least in my opinion, the role is nowhere near in the same league as the role of Ennis.

But, again, it's important to note that BBM won best picture (drama) at the Globes.  And it also won best director and a couple other Golden Globes.  So, the Golden Globes did better by BBM than the Oscars.


I'm still really happy for Heath tonight, even with the lingering BBM bitterness.

You're so right, Monika, BBM will certainly outlive Crash, which will disappear in mediocrity.  At least the Golden Globes recognized BBM for what it is.

Once again I am overwhelmed by the applause, standing ovation and outward verbal cheer, when Heath wins an award for the Joker.

....And the exceptional dignified speeches by those who accept the awards, on Heath's behalf. A true reflection of the man, we wish we were watching accepting his award today.

Well done Heath, we miss you, but your legacy lives on.

I´m going to bed. It´s 4.10 am here in Sweden. Must get up for work in an hour or so O0
I do feel happy he won. I think I would have been pissed if he didn´t, inspite of it all. I will go to bed feeling relieved.
Good night everyone

Heaths performance as the Joker was the performance of 2008. Christopher Nolan's gave a nice speech, and Heat is 1 step closer to an Academy Award.

I am simultaneously happy and sad. The "hole blasted in the future of cinema" statement by Chris Nolan, just about tore my heart out. What a truly wonderful way of phrasing it.

Tom Cruise went back up in my estimation as he looked genuinely pleased. Kate Winslet I have always liked and she appeared to have tears in her eyes. Robert D. looked very pissed off though.

Me I am back in tears again. Horrible day and very mixed emotions about the award.

I now know that the Oscars will be truly terrible to watch. Think I will do as tonight, catch it on Youtube after the event.

I'm so glad Heath won. His performance as the Joker was incredible and he so deserves it. Yet, there's still bitterness that he didn't win for Ennis.
And of course there's this feeling of too little, too late :(.

I am simultaneously very happy and very sad too. A fully deserved win. Hope his dear ones will find some comfort in seeing how much he's loved and valued.
I wish he'd won for his role as Ennis too, but his role as Ennis,  BbM itself, Heath himself have become a legend. Time has confirmed that.

Philip Seymour Hoffman did an impression  of Truman Capote.  Who has ever wanted to see that movie twice?  Heath created the role of Ennis, with incredible humanity and subtlety.  There's no comparison, and there never will be. 

Very well said, Paul.

I'm glad Heath won and that Chris Nolan gave such a simple, eloquent speech.  Though I think it's true that Heath didn't win for Ennis because of an element of homophobia, there were other things in play, too.  Hoffman was older and his name had been coming up frequently in awards nominations, so I think he also won because of the "body of work" idea.  No one could have known that Heath's body of work was about to be cut off prematurely, alas.  The Joker gave them a chance to make amends.

I thought the clip they chose from TDK was particularly good.

Which just goes to show that they should never take such things into consideration when deciding who should win. They should just have decided on the merits of the performance as it stands, not the career... Heath would have won for Ennis, no doubt.

And yeah, I think this award is all about making amends.

Damn, this is tough, and it isn't even January 22nd yet  :'(

Not sure about making it easier, but you are right about the very dignified talk surrounding Heath.

I do worry about Mathilda though. What I am going to write may be stupid, but I think it could happen. I think Mathilda will have a heck of a time, when older and grasping it all better, not only, because she will not have been raised by her dad, but also, because she will not consciously remember and know her dad, of which all talk so well. I think she will go through sad moments not to have known her father, but I think there will be angry moments too, knowing that she missed out on knowing Heath, who everyone describes as an extraordinary person, innovative actor and great dad. I don't want to sound stupid, but I'm guessing it could all have been much 'easier' for her, if her dad wasn't this man praised so highly by just about everyone who met him and/or worked with him.

Not sure if I explain myself clearly and I totally agree of course with all the remarkable and beautiful things people say about Heath, but I think that that's exactly what will make it even more unbearable for Mathilda, than it is already bound to be..

See, nobody's talking about Brad Renfro much and his child. I say this not out of disrespect to Brad Renfro, of course (I think he was an outstanding actor, but maybe missing Heath's charisma..?)! But the 'hype' about Heath and the praise and all the beauty surrounding Heath, will be very hard for Mathilda to live with, as she will not have her own shared experience with her dad. At least not for long enough.

That's why I said that I am not sure about making it easier - the fact that everyone who talks about Heath, has done it with so much dignity (quite rightly though, of course) - because it makes it even more difficult to accept the fact that we will never meet and know this exceptional man and will never be able to experience and discover more of his work, which is bound to have been of artistic immensity.

Just my thoughts.. and I hope I'm not offending anyone.

J.U.D.E. I think you have a valid point. When a parent dies and  a child is the age Matilda was, there is little memory. That in its own way is very sad, as is the death of any family member. It seems too sad for words that Matilda will see and hear so many accolades about her father and yet have very little concious memory.

There surely will come a time when she either, gets very angry that he died, or grieve for a wonderful man she never really knew. Maybe even both. The only good thing is I am sure Michelle willdo an amazing job of helping her deal with things. She is allegedly putting together a short film of Heath, for Matilda.

I wonder will Matilda fall in love with her amazing dad and want him to be there to hold her.

Ah okay. I hope the stress at work is temporary though Mikaela and that you are coping.

About the GGs, I've only seen it once, but found Chris Nolan's short speech, moving. The other actors/actresses they showed, you don't really know if they knew Heath personally or had ever met him even. I guess for some of them one year was enough time to get over his death. ...  :-\

I wasn't sure where to post this so I thought here would be fine. I just found it and it may be posted somewhere else. I think it is great. I posted it on my blog too, but I wanted to make sure everyone saw it.


Thanks for posting Jack.

That's Tearjerker by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's a tribute to Kurt Cobain.

The first verse of the lyrics express how it felt last year.

My mouth fell open
Hoping that the truth
Would not be true
Refuse the news

I'm feeling sick now
.....

That was it exactly, refuse the news and sick in the stomach.  :(

Very big sigh.This time last year, is what I keep thinking. I feel so silly I wish I could move on from this.

We will in our own time. Regardless of whether  or not I come to this thread every day there's no day that I don't think of Heath.  I feel lucky there's Bettermost and people like you, I mean all of you,  who don't judge and always  try to understand.
Thanks for all the nice pics and for all the nice posts.

Thanks ATZ! The quotation, like my name comes from an AE Housman poem. He was an English poet who wrote a series of poems called 'A Shropshire Lad' and although I no longer live there I'm still a Shropshire Lad at heart.


Into my heart an air that kills
  From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
  What spires, what farms are those?
 
That is the land of lost content,
  I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
  And cannot come again.

I was just watching E!News and became aware of this potentially very painful coincidence coming tomorrow...  The Oscar nominations are coming out tomorrow on the one year anniversary of Heath's passing.  This just seems so brutal.

 :'(

Here's the official infor from the Oscar's website.

http://www.oscar.com/comingsoon/ (http://www.oscar.com/comingsoon/)
"The 81st Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, January 22, 2009, at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater."

Well it will be fitting if they give him a nom, which I'm sure they will.

A ginormous thankyou for all the pics ,I want to FF past tommorow, I can not bear to think of it. Our wonderful Heath is no longer here and I for one am struggling with this. I  think I may have to hibernate tomorrow. I cannot bear to live the horror all over again. I just want this terrible sense of loss to go.

When does the passage of time to start easing the pain. I feel so glib now when I used to tell patients that time would heal all. I guess I never knew how totally pervading a loss could be. Well you judt live,learn and grow.

To all Heathens,  hope tomorrow is bearable if nothng less.

I'm glad you like them.


but I have to say, I made none of those.  Google Image Search, and Photobucket Search has helped quite a bit.  I've copied and saved them to my account, but alas, I'm not talented or artistic enough to have made those.

However, I felt that to share them here (and on DCF) in memory of Heath today was appropriate.


Don't give me credit for them, I had nothing to do with their creation.

Yes me too.

Yesterday I helped changing the settings of my mother's cellphone (she got an extra one, because of some sales promotion action in which she partook) and I was going to set the date. It was set to 1.1.08 and I thought - great! - I just have to change the 1 into a 21 to make it 21 January and saved it. Then I realised that it now was set to 21 January 2008.... and ooooh... I suddenly got goose-bumps all over... You know.. what if yesterday was the 21st of January 2008 and the world was still ok... What if we were able to change everything that happened the following day.. Sad moment. Very sad moment.  :'(

The homepage looks beautiful today.

Do you guys know who did the image?

I'm starting my film fest this morning with I'm Not There.  (Planning to watch I'm Not There, The Dark Knight, and Brokeback Mountain.)  I've had the DVD ever since it came out, but I only took the plastic off this morning.  So, things I hadn't realized - it's a two disc set.  Heath's image, as Robbie, is the cover on the 2nd disc.  There is a special feature called "A Tribue to Heath Ledger" that is a beautiful collection of his scenes (I think some that weren't in the movie).  The 'Red Carpet Premiere' feature also has a brief interview with him...

Sigh.

I'm starting my film fest this morning with I'm Not There.  (Planning to watch I'm Not There, The Dark Knight, and Brokeback Mountain.)  I've had the DVD ever since it came out, but I only took the plastic off this morning.  So, things I hadn't realized - it's a two disc set.  Heath's image, as Robbie, is the cover on the 2nd disc.  There is a special feature called "A Tribue to Heath Ledger" that is a beautiful collection of his scenes (I think some that weren't in the movie).  The 'Red Carpet Premiere' feature also has a brief interview with him...

Sigh.

Lauragigs did the photos. They're fantastic aren't they?

And thanks for the info on I'm Not There. I haven't bought the dvd yet, but I might reconsider because there's a tribute to Heath on the dvd. I thought Heath was really good as Robbie.

My husband and I watched Ned Kelly on monday (with the 'tremendous hair and beard' according to Mikaela  ;)). We both really liked it, Heath's performance was a bit oneven at times I thought, like he was struggling with the Irish accent a bit, but overall a really enjoyable movie to watch.

I watched I'm Not There for the first time last week.  Wow, what a unique concept for a movie.  I enjoyed it. 
I thought Heath's performance was great.  There were moments when I saw bits of Ennis in his Robbie Clark character.

I kept thinking, wow, it's been almost a year...

I really like that one a lot, too.  I think if you scratch Heath, he was basically a hippie.

Did you see, that there are lots of recent posts on Heath Ledger's IMDb forum?  :)  I did.

Aren't you just furious about the fact that Heath's dead could so easily have been avoided? :-X  I am.

Don't you just hate the fact that Brokeback Mountain is a movie fom already 4 years ago!  :-\  I do.

Doesnt it make you absolutely mad/sad, that on IMDb, Heath's movie list stops at 2009.. and will forever...  :'(  It does.

I just finished watching E!News and I'm currently watching the Daily 10 and both shows are acknowledging the sad coincidence of the Oscar nominations coming on the anniversary of Heath's passing.  The Daily 10 just did a special little segment about the anniversary of Heath's loss too.

Absolutely, Leslie.  (Will you share some of the reflections with us?)

I just finished The Dark Knight.  Still as mesmirized (sp?) by Heath's performance as the first time.  A DVD tidbit - Heath as the Joker introduces the movie when you hit play, "And here we go..."

Good for you, Leslie.  I paid $3.95!

Dear Leslie, you were the first person I called after I heard the news, one year ago.  The news banner had stuff about the stock market most of the day, so when I refreshed the page that afternoon, I almost didn't notice:  Actor Heath Ledger found dead in NY apartment.  I thought it was a prank.  But of course it wasn't. 

After you, I called Meryl.  She was on the streets of NYC somewhere, and hadn't yet heard.  Better to hear from another Brokie, I guess. 

Then I left a message for RouxB.  Y'all were my favorite Heathens.  Still are!  :-* :-* :-*

I'm a little in shock right now. I have been thinking about this day all week. I woke up late and had to rush to work, where I was very busy all day. Then, a play that I designed lights for opened tonight. We've been popping the circuit breaker for the past few days, causing half the lights to turn off, so I went to the theatre to try to fix it for opening night. Then, I think some of you know that I am going to Peru soon (leaving Saturday, be there for 8 days), and I still had things to do to get ready for that. It is now 2:20am, Friday morning, and I'm about to go to bed. I thought I'd check Bettermost before bed, and as soon as I got to the homepage, I gasped out loud and realized that I completely forgot what today was. I couldn't believe I forgot when I'd been thinking about it so much.

Then I looked down, and saw that I had been wearing striped socks all day. Maybe I didn't forget after all.

Thank you Paul. I had a mostly dumb day yesterday with alot of pointless running around. I guess the good thing was that it kept me busy and out of my office, not looking at Heath and Brokeback memorabilia.

Hopefully I'll have a few minutes to read EW today. I never had a chance to even open it yesterday!

Anyway, some more enjoyable things now. Once more I have a mini-series because I couldn't decide. I've just seen that a similar one has already been posted today, but what the heck.

Leslie, that magazine was meant to be yours. It sat there, waiting for you.
You haven't been working through a blizzard last Christmas, but with all the Heath magazines you've been sending or taking across the world for others, the universe owes you one ;).

I had to go through this thread a bit at a time. All the pics are amazing,so thanks to all who took the trouble to post them. I went into work yesterday and would not allow myself a second to think about it.
Today I am going to have to wrap my brain cells round it.

Not really. They are from a tribute video Heath's friends from The Masses made (and put up on theit website).
I think it's from a trip they took together.

Here's a fascinating article about The Masses and Heath's involvment:

BTW, the video is posted several times on BM. It's somewhere here in HHH as well as in the Remembrance Forum. I don't have the time right now to do a search, but if you can't find it, I'll look later.

I think I am going to spend a little more time on planet Fiona, where money rains down and Heath is still here.

Planet earth holds no real attraction for me at the moment !!

Great minds think alike ;D. I was asking myself exactly the same thing when I put these pics together on my photobucket album to post them here. Judging from the pics in the movie and the Cowley pics of the Alberta pilgrimage, I think you're right.
But of course I don't know for sure.

Hey, everyone! Click on the following link at heathledger.com, to vote for Heath! Technically, it's to vote for Heath's Oscar nomination,  but they are still accepting votes (24,856 to date), even though the nomination is now a reality. I just voted a moment ago. I figure it can't do any harm to send the Academy a good strong message this year. Here's the link:

Well, the awards keep rolling in for Heath.  It was certainly another bittersweet night watching the SAG Awards.  For those of you who didn't see it, Gary Oldham accepted this time on behalf of Heath and really got very choaked up.  It was very touching.

Heath was not part of the in Memoriam section of the awards show tonight... they must have included him last year.

Good for our Heath!  Did you see that the whole audience stood up for him?  Gary Oldman did a very nice acceptance, short and sincere.  :-*

Another one I was glad to see win was Sean Penn, who did such a great job in "Milk."  8)

Yes, the stand O was nice for Heath... I think that's happened for his previous awards too.  What else is there to do really... It's truly very touching to see Heath being honored repeatedly by the film community in all of these different awards.

I was very happy for Sean Penn too.

Too bad for Anne tonight, but she seemed thrilled to hear Meryl Streep win.  When Meryl's name was called Anne seemed to light up.  What a strange night for Anne when it comes to co-stars... the sadness for Heath and the happiness for Meryl.

Good morning Heathens :)

A new pic from my favorite photoshoot (Toronto06). I haven't seen the first photo until now. And the second one I've seen in b/w, but not in color yet.

I should have guessed. I've seen the 4 feathers (IMO: WorstHeathFilmEver!!!! - although he himself looks good while in that dashing red uniform at the beginning)  I figured your pic might possibly be an early photoshoot of some sort, like for Australia day. It's a very good manip. The other one looks much more manippy. ;D

Naomi Watts talked about Heath in Parade magazine this week:

“I hadn’t really been that familiar with his work. Then, when I got to the set and did that first scene with him, I was like, ‘Wow! This guy is alive.’ It was just something deep in his eyes. You could look into them, and they would tell a thousand stories in one glance. There was a wonderful mixture of power and fragility at work in everything he did, which just pulls you in. His strength didn’t scare you. It intrigued you. And his fragility touched you.”

Lovely pics all !!!  The 1st  one of AKT with that shy, slight smile, look gets me every time. He really was so utterly lovely in the film. I never understood why it got such a bad overall review.

I have said it before I know, but he really did have a perfect subtle comedic side. The odd raised eyebrow or subtle look, or even the almost dead pan look when Chaucer walks by stark  naked, makes me grin every time.

It was notable, I thought, to observe how fresh Heath's loss still is by the reaction of the BAFTA crowd, all of whom were completely still, solemn and focussed on the speaker.  Goldie Hawn choked up, and I thought I caught a tear on one man's cheek as the camera panned the audience after the acceptance.  He is really missed.

I have to say I choked up too.  :'(


And I read on the BBC website that Terry Gilliam said afterwards that 'it would have been nice if he (Heath) would have won a few more awards when he was alive'. I'm not a Gilliam fan, but I agree wholeheartedly.  :-\

A MASSIVE thanks to all for the pics, articles and video footage. My life is falling apart and this Heath thing is still sooo painful !!!

I so need to see my psych. roll on Monday.
OOPs sorry that reads like a complaint, it isn't I love all the Heath stuff. I just wish everything else was not such a mess !!!

I have just rewatched the paparazzi video footage, and much as I love seeing anything with Heath in. It sudenly struck home just how very much he hated all the attention. Initially he joked around, then latterly he became very obviously more uncomfortable. It also occurred to me, that as a fan, maybe we all just wanted too much from a basically quiet and private man.

It is a sobering thought, that in our adoration and respect, could we have pushed him too far ??? I am speaking of myself only, and at the time my unquenchable thirst for anything Heath. Did the very thing, ie his amazing talent, prove his downfall. I somehow forgot along the way, that he was a human first, with a partner and daughter, and emotions. I like so many others, wanted my piece of him.

Unlike many stars it was not something he embraced and that is a very sobering thought to me. It is like the saying, be careful what you wish for as you may just get it !!!

Love those screencaps. I´d give up one of my kidneys to get my hands on all the footage they cut.

I hope it doesn't come to that!

Often  I have these moments when it´s hard to believe he´s really dead. It´s not that strange, since I didn´t know him and didn´t see him on a daily basis anyway. So therefore it´s very hard to believe sometimes.
I know he is dead, but I really don´t feel it, if you know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean. I  still find it very hard to believe. Part of me has decided it is because I have decided to keep him alive in my heart. I suspect that is because my life is so hard at the moment that it gives me some peace, in a very troubled world.

I like to think that he is still working his "magic" even after he has gone, almost akin to when you have an imaginary friend when you are young. However I am stark staring bonkers so that culd also be it as well !!!!

Laura, those are simply beautiful, in fact they are stunning in their stark simplicity. You are a very talented lady, I still treasure my calendar. In my grimmer moments, I bring it out and lok at it over and over, then hop over to the photos of the simply wonderful night at my house where I met you and everyone else.

I long for those happy times again.It seems odd that for me anyway, out of such tragedy can come such joy. I guess it is because the folk at Bettermost are just my kind of people.Caring, emotionally real and willing to put others before themselves in the interest of helping people.

       I just last week watched that movie for the first time.  I never had cared for seeing it before.  But on his anniversary,,I wanted to see him in
something that was lighter.  I truly loved it.  I thought it was a great modernization of the Taming of the Shrew.  One of my favorite Shakesperean
works.    I am not usually too keen on the updated virsions of his work.  I didnt care at all for Romeo and Juliette.  Just thought I would throw it in there...

Fabienne - you'll have to let us know what you think of Dogtown.  It's an interesting movie.  Heath does a great job in his role, so do all of the actors really, imo at least.  I've seen it numerous times - watching Heath sing Maggie May, while working with the skateboard at the very end - 30 seconds of heaven...

Sunny days for Heath Ledger
Peta Hellard
February 21, 2009 11:00pm


THIS is Heath Ledger as you have never seen him before - just turned 20, with stars in his eyes and on the cusp of impending Hollywood stardom.

The photos were taken in May 1999 - a month after Ledger had his 20th birthday and six weeks after his first US film 10 Things I Hate About You premiered in America.

The young actor, who moved to Hollywood three months before the photos were taken, had recently secured his first big acting break opposite Mel Gibson in civil war drama The Patriot.

Click here to see the Heath Ledger picture gallery
The candid shots were unearthed by The Sunday Mail on the eve of the Academy Awards tomorrow night where he is considered a certainty to win a posthumous Oscar.   
Rupert Thorpe, the Los Angeles-based celebrity photographer who took the pictures, said Ledger was ecstatic about his burgeoning career in Hollywood.

"I had never heard of him but he was full of energy and you could see he was destined for great things," Thorpe told The Sunday Mail yesterday.

"He was a little boy from Australia (who had) come over to big America. He was loving life and he didn't seem to have a care in the world.

"He was happy and carefree."

Thorpe - who spent a day shooting Ledger and fellow Aussie Rose Byrne in Vegas - said the actor was excited about the perks of the shoot.

"We were driving around the Vegas strip in a stretch limo, drinking champagne and taking pictures. Heath got a kick out of that," Thorpe said.

"We went through about four or five bottles of champagne in the limo and then we poured ourselves out of the limo for the pics.

"Heath and Rose asked me to stay (in Vegas) and hang out because we were having so much fun, but I ended up flying back to Los Angeles that night while they stayed on for a couple more days."

Byrne's - whose own career was launched after starring alongside Ledger in Two Hands, which premiered two months after the photos were taken - said she remembered her longtime friend as fun-loving and excitable.

"He was a very lovely, spontaneous, distinctive actor," she said. "I was very blessed to have worked with him."

For the Vegas shoot, Ledger and Byrne were not accompanied by publicists, managers or minders. They had gone shopping together and bought their outfits from a second-hand clothes store in Los Angeles.

"I remember Heath had chosen a toweling top, red trousers and some Elvis-style glasses," Thorpe said.

"He was young and untarnished and full of beans back then."

The relaxed experience was a world away from the micro-managed publicity moments of Ledger's later career when the actor seemed uneasy and awkward, often appearing hunched over and surly during interviews.

During his early film career when his hair was a sunny blond, Ledger's wide smile, lively eyes and playful nature were trademarks of his photo shoots.

But as his fame sky-rocketed during his early 20s, the actor - often sporting stringy dark locks - was usually pictured looking sullen and often hauntingly sad.

Thorpe said he was shocked by the change in Ledger when he bumped into him years later in Beverly Hills, shopping with then girlfriend Naomi Watts, who he met on the set of Australian drama Ned Kelly.

"He seemed like a completely different person," he said.

"He was older and obviously more guarded because he had success and had people running after him because he was now famous."

Life's so full of ironies, isn't it?  Last night an actor won for playing a gay man, while in 2006 that seemed to doom the BBM cast.   The actor who did win out over Heath that year was bested by him last night in return.  And that same actor did something that we wondered if Heath might do--he wore a funny-looking hat.  :)

Michelle Williams Hopes Matilda Becomes a Doctor

Despite having two actors as parents – and, in the case of her late father, Heath Ledger, an Oscar winner – Michelle Williams's little girl, Matilda, will not grow up in Hollywood, her mother insists.

In fact, Williams, 28, hopes that Matilda, 3, will one day become a doctor. Not that Matilda doesn't have ideas of her own. Her mother admits that currently she wants to be a cowgirl.


Oh my goodness, a cowgirl.

Well, don't forget PSH won best actor that year for his portrayal of Truman Capote, who was a pioneering gay man. Although the film 'Capote' wasn't specifically about his dealing with his sexuality. Capote was perfectly comfortable with himself in that regard. Sean Penn won best actor for also portraying another pioneering gay man. When you count Heaths best actor nomination for 'Ennis', and Jakes' best supporting actor nom for 'Jack'. There have been a pleasing number of Academy Award nominations in the past few years for portraying Gay characters both fictional and nonfictional. That makes me happy. Brad Pitt had said he would like to play a gay man (this was when BBM was in the theaters). I hope he does now! Who should be his romantic costar?

Thanks for the nice feedback everybody. Buffy, seems you discovered the Polish website, eh? Very nice pics, darn those watermarks though, they're extreme in those pics.
It's Saturday and time for another Heath as Ennis special. Today it's "especially cute Ennis moments", totally randomly chosen.

Thanks Buffymon and Chrissi, what a fab set of pivtures of Heath and Ennis. When you see them like that it seems incredible that  they are both one and the same.

If it's any consollation Buffymon I have had a really shitty time as well.So a bit of Heath/Ennis goes some way towards restoring sanity.

FOR Heath Ledger's family, life after the Oscars has been spent bonding with the late actor's three-year-old daughter Matilda and celebrating their late son's win with Hollywood friends at Johnny Depp's mansion.

Ledger's father Kim, mother Sally and sister Kate, who travelled from Perth for the ceremony, joined Matilda and the actor's former partner Michelle Williams at an afternoon party at Depp's Hollywood Hills home last week, along with industry friends.

The private event, which was guarded by security staff, was also attended by Ledger's step-parents, brother-in-law, step-sisters and nieces.

Depp had become friends with Ledger after Terry Gilliam, who directed the Oscar-winner in The Brothers Grimm, introduced the two actors at the Toronto Film Festival several years ago.

After Ledger's death in January last year, Depp and actors Jude Law and Colin Farrell stepped in to replace the Australian in his final unfinished film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Williams' partner Spike Jonze, who started dating her last year, did not attend the event. Williams, who split from Ledger shortly before his death, drove herself and Matilda to the party from Jonze's hilltop mansion in the trendy Los Angeles neighbourhood of Los Feliz.

The couple flew into Los Angeles with Matilda the day before the Oscars for Williams to attend the Independent Spirit Awards, where she was nominated for best lead actress for Wendy and Lucy.

On the morning of the Oscars, Williams and Jonze - whose real name is Adam Spiegel - ate breakfast at an upscale Beverly Hills eatery before shopping in a department store.

Ledger's family also enjoyed some shopping excursions in Los Angeles boutiques.

The group visited designer stores in Beverly Hills' famed Robertson Boulevard and Rodeo Drive, as well as upmarket outdoor shopping centre The Grove, where they wandered in the doll store American Girl.

The family is expected to return to Australia this week.

I am glad to know of the celebration Heath's family and friends had...  but I find the detailed accounting of Michelle's drive to the party and where she ate breakfast, well, awkward.  (Okay, I really wanted to say 'scary' instead of 'awkward'... but felt that was too melodramatic....)

Yes, about as fortunate a Brokie as I can be.  But it was actually Angless.  Remember?  The snowstorm kept Ang in the New York area, but it didn't stop surf501 from basically snowshoeing out of New York to the nearest open airport that would take him to LA, because he was not going to miss it.

Another drawing from the same site as the Joker one. I think I might have seen this one floating around on LJ before, and I'm not even sure whether it is really a painting or a photo manip. Anyway, I like it. Hey Fi, it's the blonde locks tousled look you like so much :). It was said to be by a user named Martinhoo, just to give the proper credits.

Currently I look for holiday cottages in the UK. Yesterday I came across Heath Farm :D. Of course I checked it, LOL. There would have been just the right cottage for our family on Heath Farm, but it's already booked in July/Aug. I got a kick out of it anyway ;D.

I like the sound of Heath cottage. I guess it is because Heath means a large area of grassy land in England, as in Hampstead Heath. I had completely forgotten that aspect until reading your post.
I would not mind betting that there are a few Heath cottages in Yorkshire, bearing in mind Wuthering heights and it's man character , Heathcliffe who our beloved Heath was named after.

The Bronte sisters all lived in Yorkshire and in fact you can visit their house. You I am sure would feel some empathy there, knowing the connection with our lovely Heath.Do not forget Bettys tea rooms ig you visit York and if you do, take a picture. Despite living in Cheshire, York town is one of my favourites.

I had a phonecall of the weirder sort with my sister yesterday who, after all that time, had finally watched Brokeback Mountain on dvd. Knowing that she was more the romantic comedy type, I had never tried to persuade her watch it in the first place. Well, now she had. And I had to endure her unrefined judgement...

She: To be honest, I didn't find the blonde guy's acting very convincing.
I (thinking "wtf!?"): I see. Well, at least you have watched it now.
She: Yeah, I just wanted to know what all the fuss was about.
I: Hmmm.

I quickly switched to another topic after that. I'd had a similar experience with my sister in law some time ago. She told me that she hadn't been able to sit through the movie and that she had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Oh well. Let them die ignorant. Who am I to proselytize the heathens pagans?

Well picks herself up off the floor !!  Heath is not much of an actor!!!  Is she blind and deaf. ??
If nothing else, even if she hated the film, Heath's acting was amazing.
 You should get her to listen to his real voice and if nothing else she would have to admit the vocal transformation was pretty amazing.

Oh my, I need to have a lie down now.

Excerpt from an interview with Ang Lee from March, 10th 2009. I find the first question a bit, uhm, insensitive or something, but here goes:


Do you remember where you were when you got the news that Heath died?
I was landing at the Tokyo airport when I got an email from James. Heath died during my flight. That’s always strange to think about.


What is your favorite memory of him?
It also happens to be one of my favorite shots of my career: his “barfing” scene in Brokeback, when he was hitting the wall with his fists. We were on the third take, his fists were bleeding, he’d literally spilled all his guts, and something in the background struck me as being perfect. I think it was the clouds. I wanted to do another take, but Heath was totally exhausted. My producer said, “That’s bullshit. The actor has had enough.” But the clouds were perfect! We did another take, and after it was over, Heath said, “Wow. That felt good.”

I wonder whether that final take of the alley scene was thae one that went into the film? I shall have to look extra closely at the clouds next time I see the film.

James - that would be James Schamus, right? He said in Entertainment Weekly's Jan 23 issue, about learning that Heath had died, that:

Quote
It was one of those "Where were you on the day Kennedy was shot?" moments. I called Jake (Gyllenhaal) and remember wailing."

 :'(

It makes sense he also would be the one to contact Ang Lee.


---

On a brighter note, I'm loving all the images. Have a fine weekend, Heathens!

Thanks for the pics and the article. It is still so hard to read of his passing. I know exactly where I was, in my kitchen loading the dishwasher when it flashed accross the T.V.  I was so shocked I dropped the cups I was holding. I have never allowed myself to remember that moment until now.

I flew across the room and immediately put BBM into the Dvd player. I started to sob and continued for days afterwards. Not long after I stopped lurking on Bettermost and started to post. I have remained here ever since.

A Jake picture from the Jake thread (from MilAn)...  All Heathens will (hopefully) understand why I brought it over here.

The comment from James about Jake, is about the only real reference I've heard about Jake during that [awful] time.

Yes. I thought exactly the same, my initial post originally included a comment to that effect. Without re-opening that particular can of worms, the James Shamus' quote about shared grief strangely felt like balm on my Jake-keeping-silent disappointed soul.

I love insider info like this about the shooting of the alley scene!  Here are two film stills from Striped Wall regarding this scene.  There are tons of stills from the dry heaves scene on Striped Wall.  The clouds are interesting in these two examples for sure.  Kind of stormy.

Heh. The part of the evil queen's earring that extends over her ear looks eerily like one of those mini mics that stage performers and speakers use. Perhaps she's secretly keeping up a running commentary, reporting back to the fandom just how it feels, being in her position.  :)

Thank you for finding the caps, Amanda!

Poor Ennis.  :-\


I have to re-quote Ang Lee once more:

Quote
We were on the third take, his fists were bleeding, he’d literally spilled all his guts, and something in the background struck me as being perfect.


With that description of his bleeding fists, and the fact that the Thanksgiving fight scene apparently saw Heath pretty beat up too, - doesn't it seem that the Ennis role got unusually physical? I guess I'm so used to reading about special effects, stunt doubles, sound effects.... it's normally all just a carefully executed illusion. A lead actor really getting injured and pummeled to this extent during takes surely isn't common? Heath truly did give his all as Ennis, and the benefit was all ours.  Sigh. :-* :-\ :'(

Sure enough Friend. 

One thing I like about the background of the shot with Ennis in the alley, besides the clouds, is the little lonely tree.  The angle of the tree echos the angle of Ennis's back.

Also, it occurs to me that both Ennis and Jack have miserable "alley scenes."  In different ways of course... but both involve missing one another.

Yes, and Ennis usually is as unbendable as a tree, rooted in the soil, but not this day in Signal.

I wonder what Heath would have thought, had he learned that several years after he acted that scene, a group of people would appear there during their Brokeback pilgrimage, and several of them would actually re-enact his traumatic alley scene to perfection and in the exact same spot!? I hope he'd take it as the compliment it was.

Yep, I've seen the Alberta Pilgrimage video!  :)

Heath gave his all as Ennis, but also as Dan in Candy. I remember reading that during a very traumatic scene in a shower he was punching and flailing around so badly he got a black eye.
He is seen with the black eye in the final scene. No make up was needed. I cannot believe we have lost such a gem

I also remember an interview where Heath said he liked to follow a serious movie with a more lighthearted one.The idea being that he had some respite, after having given his all in serious roles.I don't think he did anything half measures.

It's Bodiam Castle in East Sussex and I was there in the early or mid 90-ies :D.
My family will spend the second half of our family vacation this summer in that area. Maybe we'll go and visit it again 8).

 :laugh:
That's what I asked myself, too!

Maybe the elk shooting scene had originally been planned as bison shooting scene? But the bison/actor didn't fit into the chair, and additionally was pi§§ed because he wanted to be referred to with the PC term of "buffalo". Thus Ang took an elk ;D :laugh: ;).
How lucky for all of us! Had they shot a buffalo instead, the wonderfully poetic subtitle of "caress and nice oak" would never have been made. Now that would have been a shame!

Yeah, I also have a big fascination for BTS pics from BBM. Had so from early on. That's why I have no idea where I have those pics from. I collected dozens during the past three years. From LJ, from the Czech website, from a Brazilian website, from Heath sites, found some on DC or at random google image searches (well, randomly but with a BBM connection), and so on.

Well that threw me for a loop. I did indeed feel it was Heath almost morphing into Ennis. It was a salient reminder of his immense talent. The part that fascinates me was the very young Heath, becomming this older beyond his years, almost world weary, Ennis.

Heath before mega fame, with his whole life before him.Heath happy and silly, with no emotional baggage. It sometimes seems to me that the very thing he craved, the accolade of his peers and the recognition of his talent, was what ultimatley finished him.
 He was it seems, ill equipped to deal with the fame that ultimately was heaped apon him. How sad that what he craved and ultimately achieved, would seem to have been his undoing.

It reminds me of the phrase, be careful of what you wish for, as you may end up getting it.

Lovely pics everyone.A little Heath is a very good thing on a miserable Saturday morning.Grey and humid here, not a good combination. There seems to ba a storm coming in as well, judging by the increasing wind speeds and the dogs getting restless.

Sexy blond tousled Heath is my all time favourite, just call me shallow.So I too have moved one of my faves over here too.

Yes, what a great pic! I love his expression, mischievous and seductive, and the small rebellious  strand of hair on the side of his forehead. And the loose tie knot makes the look just perfect.
Thank you Penthesilea,  and everybody else too, for the wonderful Heath's pics.

I'll go with the flow and add some of my first photobuckets pictures. It's nice going back, and it's interesting what others have as early pics. For example the bent over backwards one Elle posted; I didn't find this one until sometime last year, but it's old to Elle.

No, it's not Two Hands. Today's Heath pic(s) will be more of the same press conference/photoshooting. At the end, I'll reveal it, you just have to scroll down a bit.

But it's something diferent for today. Anyone up for a small quiz question? I ordered a Heath movie and it was delivered yesterday. Today's pic is from a promotional activity for this movie. Name the movie!

You mean you didn't own the DVD of AKT until a couple of days ago?! :o
Really nice pics, Heath looks very happy in them.
I haven't seen Two Hands yet.

AKT ties with Candy for my 2nd fave Heath movie. He is just amazingly gorgeous in AKT. I watch it at least once a week. It is my guilty pleasure. !!

Thanks as always for the wonderful Heath images, always a treat.

I know how much you love AKT, but I'm curious more about why Candy ties for second?  (I guess, I mean, what about Candy stands out for you, compared to his other films?)

Just curious...

I love that we get to hear his real glorious voice, with all its rich undertones. I also think it is incredibly well acted. Not for a second do I think of Heath, he becomes Dan,with all his innocence and belief that they can free themselves from their terrible addiction and live a normal life.His joy about the baby, the unbearble heartache of the losses he endures.

He throws himself so fully into character, that he stayed out of the sun for months to get the requisite pallor of an addict. That says a lot about the man, who was a real surfing outdoors guy and yet denied himself the pleasure of the Aussie beaches and surfing.

He  has a terrible scene in a shower where he actually ends up with a real black eye.The next scene to be filmed was the final heart breaking one and make up wanted to cover up the bruise. Typical Heath, a bit like with BBM and the shirts, declines and says, no I think it will add more realism and also leave the viewer wondering where Dan is, in his life at that time.

I do not want to write too much as I do not know whether you have seen it or not. There are a couple of scenes that nearly kill me. Not because of addiction problems, but other tragedies that heave occurred to me. So I find it resonates with me at an almost base level.I can really connect with it which for me always adds an extra dimension to a film.

The real shock is despite the tragedy of it all, there are moments of comic genius that waft across the screen like a summer breeze, giving the viewer some relief and hope, yet simulataneously meaning the next tragedy is even more of a hammer blow.

The final bitter irony is the parallels which seem to exist betwen Heath's own life and some of the events in the film. Not even really the addiction, there just seems to be a lot of Heath in the character. I will happily discuss more if you have seen the film. I just don't want to spoil it if you haven't.

I watched Brothers Grimm tonight. Previously I had just watched bits and pieces of it. I didn´t love it, but it was better than I had expected (my expectation were pretty low O0). I must say there were some heartbreaking scenes in it. Heath looked oh so lovely. Sometimes his character reminded me of Ennis. Adorable.

I have seen it...  you make me want to see it again.

In reality, I think I saw it when I was still a bit numb over Heath's death, so I don't actually remember all that much about it... only that it was good...

Thanks, Bel.  Coincidentally, I made the welcome page today.  That photo really struck me too; their first words to each other, and to us. 

I just watched Heath in "Two Hands" for the first time tonight, so I'm in a sad Heathy mood.  So young and talented then; can't take your eyes off him.

Yes, it is him, I remember reading that more then once. He has a very nice voice.
He had auditioned (like Jake) for Moulin Rouge, therefore he must have been confident about his singing.

You should, Ian. It's cute and funny and not too stupid (given that it's a teen romance/comedy). And did we already mention it has Heath in it ;)? What other reason do you need to see a movie? ;) ;D

From Heath Ledger, Hollywood's Dark Star Heath is reported to have said:

"I am not usually a singer, but I was a singer that day. I felt like a rock star. We went into a studio and put down the track, then we did the whole classic thing they used to do in the old musicals. They'd play it back over loudspeakers and I did  this dance number up and down the staircase, while I was singing the song".

Yes. Barely, but I can:

"was born on April 4th, 1979 in Perth, Australia. His complete first name is Heathcliff, after a character from Emily Bronte's "Sturmhöhe" [=Wuthering Heights]. At first, he preferred hockey over acting. During his school years, he even contemplated becoming a professional player. At age 16, Ledger drove to Sydney in the hope to become famous - and ended up on television. 1997 was his breakthrough with the TV series "Roar". After the 1999 teen-flick "10 Things I Hate About You" came more US productions, amongst others "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson, and the box office hit "A Knight's Tale", which made him irrevocably a star."


BTW, in German AKT is "Ritter aus Leidenschaft", which literally means 'knight by passion'.

The small print at the bottom of the page (next to the box) alludes to this. It reads:

Little boy by passion: "I'd like it best if I never were older than six years."



Lovely pic :).

I really like this pic. It's full of life and of details; I find it fascinating. I post it in full resolution even though it is pretty big and you might have to scroll. Lasse Hallström is sitting there like some medieval king, on his throne with a dais ;D (of course it makes sense to have him shielded from the light so he can properly see the monitors). I like how one guy is looking into his water bottle, another one leaning forward, and the guy with the Hawaii shirt next to Heath. Why does the guy with the mismatching trousers and shirt wear black gloves? Have you noticed that there are almost no women in the photo? And on and on with the pic, fascinating.

Heath is cute and seems relaxed in it :).

Wow Penthesilea!

I bet Canaletto would have liked to paint this scene of Venice (have just visited the beautiful art "Kerry's Gallery" thread)!
I will always associate Venice with Heath. Not only is Casanova one of my favourite Heath's movie, I know he was very happy, serene, at the time. And mustn't forget the Golden Lion to BbM.
Many people, all seem busy with something. I'd love to spend a day on a film set.

Wow, I love that picture! Seeing glimpses of the behind-the-scenes activities is always fun, and this one is especially great, in all its rich and chaotic detail.

Interesting attire on Heath there - I'm trying to remember what *exactly* he wore in the film while sporting that look... I think right before the cameras rolled he'd ditch the fetching black-and-white wife-beater for a flowing lacy white shirt and a black cloak, n'est-ce pas?  :)

What a cornucopia of Heath loveliness. All completely new to me as well. The Venice pic is like a whole film in itself, so much going on.

I love anything to do with Venice as it is where I was where I was the happiest I have ever been, and also Heath spoke often about the "holiday" making Casanova was.

All the BBM  behind scenes pics and the one where he is sat in front of a pool, all new ones for me and such a treat on a grey Sunday morning.

It was worth booting up this ancient computer just for the HHH thread, how could I have thought otherwise. Can't wait for my lap top to be fixed though

We have a winner. Paul is right: it's Gregor Jordan (not Neil), director of NK. And director of Two Hands!

Edit to add: He also was an actor in some episodes of "Home and Away". I don't know whether he knew Heath from H&A though. And Gregor Jordan also directed "Buffalo Soldiers" with Joaquin Phoenix, which I enjoyed very much, and which was filmed in my area :).

A pro pos Casanova: One of the local channels aired the film tonight. That's how come me staying up very late and posting long after midnight.

The film keeps growing on me - I've always liked it a whole honking lot, but it keeps getting better and more delightful upon repeat viewings. It's got a sweetly gracious and mellow tone to the crazy hi-jinks and fake identities that mocks noone and smiles or laughs along with everyone. The music is perfect. Heath's just so vibrant and adorable in it.... and most of the support cast are absolutely, sweetly hilarious. Especially Oliver Platt and Lena Olin and Omid Djalili's Lupo and the young lady that Casanova is about to marry. And the bad guys are all totally, ineptly fun. Plus, Venice is and remains gorgeous throughout. A pity that Sienna Miller and her film brother have as much charisma and comic timing and screen presence as two wooden planks here. If they'd been up to snuff, the film would have been recognized as a gem by one and all, IMO.

I agree about Casanova, it's such a sweet and funny movie. I think vibrant is a good word to describe Heath in it. And I'm always amazed how young he looks in it when I think that it was made after BBM.
Speaking of Venice, two more pics from Venice today, but different context:

Adapting to the limelight
WORD FESTIVAL: He wrote the script for Don’t Look Now, fell out with Roald Dahl over The Witches, has chatted to Puff Daddy about a new project and was collaborating with Heath Ledger for the late actor’s directorial debut. But just who exactly is Allan Shiach? By Allan Hunter
http://www.sundayherald.com/arts/arts/display.var.2502941.0.0.php

IN THE world of film, the director is king and the writer is merely a humble servant. Screenwriters may fill blank pages with bright ideas, unforgettable characters and pearls of sparkling dialogue but, more often than not, the director is considered the author of a particular work. It is a situation that Elgin-born Allan Shiach finds particularly galling.

"The world was given a wonderful play written by Robert Bolt called A Man For All Seasons," he explains. "It triumphed around the globe and then Robert Bolt adapted his own play into a screenplay that became known - by law - as Fred Zinnemann's A Man For All Seasons. That is wrong. We don't talk about Simon Rattle's Ninth Symphony and I think one day that balance between the writer's primacy in this medium and the director's will be more recognised."

Using the professional name of Allan Scott, Shiach has almost 40 years' experience as a writer. His career stretches from a fertile collaboration with director Nicolas Roeg on classic films like Don't Look Now (1973) and The Witches (1990), to his current triumph as the co-writer and co-producer of the stage musical Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert. At Aberdeen's Word Festival next month, he will discuss the craft of adapting a novel for the screen, a subject he can speak on with some authority as someone who has adapted the work of Roald Dahl, Pat Barker, Henry Fielding and Alastair MacLean, among many others.

"There are two important things in adaptations," he advises. "You are taking a 500-page book and turning it into a 100-page script, so the first thing is editing; you simply have to cut to the core. The second thing is to decide for yourself what are the really important values in this book that make you want to adapt it. You have to absorb those important values - whether they be narrative, ethical or even contemplative - into your thinking process and find ways to use them in your adaptation. You don't have to be literal about it but you have to be honourable about it. I think there is a huge amount of honour involved in adaptation."

Shiach cites Gone With The Wind (1939), The Age Of Innocence (1993), The Shawshank Redemption (1994) and the recent Oscar-winner Slumdog Millionaire (2008) as textbook examples of screen adaptations. "All for the same reason," he adds. "The writers took essentially literary material and held on to the emotional truths of the novel while making them into a pure cinematic experience. A nice trick."

Shiach's adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's short story Don't Look Now probably remains his most celebrated screen work. A chilling psychological thriller set in Venice, it fragments time and narrative to striking effect as it tells the story of a man haunted by the drowning of his daughter and the foreknowledge of his own death.

"Chris Bryant and I were asked by a producer if we would like to do an adaptation of the short story," he recalls. "We worked with a couple of directors who came up with a couple of additional ideas. Those directors fell by the wayside and then one day it was read by Nic Roeg, who said he'd like to do it. He reads the script and then he sits down with you and goes through it page by page. You discuss everything. The opening scene of the child's death was in the script long before we gave it to Nic, but then he makes it his own because he's that kind of director."

Shiach believes that, as a general rule, writers are never ideally placed to adapt their own work. Objectivity is impossible and destroying the thing you love the most can be beyond them. Du Maurier, for instance, had nothing to do with Don't Look Now. "I understand she thought it was an extremely accurate representation, which just shows how well she knew her story," declares Shiach. "Her story was about a couple whose child died of meningitis and the husband did not work as an architect in Venice."

Barker was happy to offer Shiach advice and support when he adapted her first world war novel Regeneration. Dahl was rather less supportive of Shiach when he adapted The Witches.

"I was unbelievably faithful to his book and he became completely curmudgeonly about it all," Shiach recalls ruefully. "He said to me at one stage, Why did you have the parents die at the beginning - this is a children's film'. I said, Because, Mr Dahl, in your book the children's parents die.' He had completely forgotten."

The former chairman and CEO of the Macallan Glenlivet whisky company, Shiach found his business expertise armed him for the challenge of turning producer later in his career, although he never wanted to direct. "I don't have the patience to sit in a darkened room and look at the same scene 48 times in order to trim three seconds out of it," he confesses. "I do not have the patience to go and knock on the door of the star's caravan and beg them to come out and deliver the line as written. Not for me."

Shiach, 68, has recently been devoting a lot of his energies to the theatre. He has co-written the thriller The Conjuror, which will be staged in 2010, is working on a multimedia event set around the music of the second world war and is also planning a show based on classic revues from the 1950s and 1960s. The dulcet merriment of Flanders and Swann could be discerned in the background at the start of our conversation.

Priscilla is now set to tour the world with productions planned for New York, Toronto, Germany and Scandinavia. Shiach is a devotee of musicals, although he plays down the possibility that this has been a major change of direction for him.

"It's all just writing," he says modestly. "Whether it's a musical or a play or a film, it's all about solving puzzles. How do you expose that aspect of a story without making it look obvious? How do you reveal this aspect of a character without hitting it over the head? It's all those things."

Shiach remains committed to cinema, detailing one current project that may yet see the light of day. "I've got a script that I launched on the world recently and the thing I like best about it is the pitch - Pulp Fiction meets It's A Wonderful Life. It's set in modern Los Angeles and is about a terrible gangster and a black angel who comes down and tries to redeem him before he dies. The angel is called Clarence and I describe him as looking like Puff Daddy on speed. A few weeks after I sent it to my agent in LA, I was asked if I would speak to a guy who wanted to finance it and play the angel. It was some time before I realised I was talking to Puff Daddy, as they introduced him as Mr Combs and I never made the connection."

Shiach's dream project remains an adaptation of the 1983 Walter Trevis novel The Queen's Gambit, which is set in the 1960s and tells of a teenage chess prodigy whose career may be hampered by her self-destructive impulses.

"I have owned the rights for some time and worked on the script with various different directors including Michael Apted, Bernardo Bertolucci and Tom Tykwer," he reveals. "Last year, I wound up with a first-time director who absolutely blew me away. We worked on the script and became very close friends and we were in the process of casting when he died in New York. His name was Heath Ledger, and he would have been an excellent director."

Allan Shiach: From Novel To Screenplay takes place on Sunday, May 17, at 1.30pm at King's College Centre, King's College. Aberdeen. Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert is at the Palace Theatre, London.

This weekend I visited the Warner Brothers studio in LA. During the tour we visited the Warner Brothers Museum, and the first thing that met us as we walked through the doors was the Joker's signature purple outfit and his nurse dress. They were mounted onto headless dummies that stood there without any glass cases. For some reason I had a strong reaction to seeing them. I had no idea that they would be there so it caught me off guard and I felt overwhelmed with sadness.

It was a neat experience to see the original costumes so close though, though. The purple outfit was still dirty even.

It's Saturday and time for another Heath as Ennis special. Today it's "especially cute Ennis moments", totally randomly chosen.

Aw, (Monika). I can easily believe this. I only saw the pictures online and that was already enough to affect me. Standing in front of it, unprepared, must have been a more intense experience.
Somehow cool though, to be so close and see the details 8). Thanks for sharing.

In Zero Ennis is called "D";  a hired hitman with "a brutally short crew cut" I believe the author describes it.

Yes, D is Ennis's alias in Zero.  I completely recommend that story if you haven't read it.  The premise might sound strange at first (the hitman idea), but it really is such a good story once you get into it.

Just what I was going to say.  I have scrutinized photos of both many times, and still they are separate.

In the first pic he looks a bit awkward, like someone who´s hoping he might become something big but isn´t too sure about himself. In the last he looks someone who knows he has made it, but who has realised he still feels awkward.

Hm. An argument for the person NOT being Jake: Jack wore the denim shirt, not thew black (anthracite) one in the scenes when they trailed up the sheep.
Guess we need some Gyllenhaalics to help us out ;). Maybe I'll crosspost it on JJJ (even though the people active over on JJJ seem to be mostly the same ones as here these days).

Here's Jack in that scene.  Although the posture could  be Jake, I don't think the blues match.  I'd guess it's the dog trainer.

Good morning Heathens :)

Re Jake or not in the pic from the 27th: from the replies here and over on JJJ, it seems I was the only one who thought the person to the right was Jake. Ok, y'all have convinced me. I like the dog-trainer idea :).

Today I have more from photobucket. I found an album with various Heath collages (rather edited pics) via a comment over on DC. The name of the album is piccu5, but I don't know whether the user made those collages or just saved them.

        Just so you know Chrissi.  I thought it was Jake too.  No one else has the knees wrinkle their jeans at the back like

that, except Jake.  It sure looks like him to me...FWIW/

        I also don't understand why the dog wrangler would be wearing the same outfit as Jake.   It could be but it doesnt make sense.

I have also posted this on the Heath Ledger Tributes and Obituaries thread as I wasn't sure where extacly it should go.

Christian Bale talks about Heath:

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/1/20090507/ten-bale-avoided-tv-news-after-ledger-s-c60bd6d.html

Christian Bale refused to watch the news after his The Dark Knight co-star Heath Ledger died - fearing gossipy coverage would tarnish his memories of his friend. Skip related content
Bale was left stunned after Ledger, who played the villainous Joker to his Batman in the 2008 blockbuster, died from an accidental prescription drug overdose in January 2008.

But he chose to block out all reports about his friend's tragic passing - because he didn't want to hear uninformed outsiders speculate about Ledger's death.

He tells Esquire magazine, "I paid no attention to it. I knew him, I knew the family and why the hell would I sit there listening to idiots who don't know anything at all? I literally didn't read anything, didn't watch anything (after he died).

"If I happened to be watching anything that came on, I switched over straight away. It's incredible the way the voyeuristic outlook is accepted as news."

And Bale still mourns Ledger's untimely death - because the Australian star was one of the few actors whose intensity and passion matched his own on set.

He adds: "Many times I'll work with actors and I can tell they're thinking, 'What are you doing? Why are you going that far with it?' or 'You're nuts!' With Heath, I could feel him going, 'I love it!'

"It felt like we were really pushing each other on, to the limits of where you can go with it. He was a good guy. There's not a lot of actors who I stay in touch with. But Heath was one of them."

That was my inclination - that it wasn't real... 

(But okay, here are the things that I thought looked like Heath - chest hair and torso, and style of jeans... but I thought the shirt didn't jive, and neither did the hips.  Yeah, today it seems more obvious that the Joker was photoshopped in...)
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: BelAir on May 13, 2009, 10:14:58 pm
Okay, I'm back to being torn, lol!

 :D

I guess, like you said, what makes it so difficult is it's the Joker face with Heath's body.  Is it really possible to be that "in character" with just one part of yourself???

Maybe it's both Heath and photoshopped??

Another random thought I had - why not get 'made up' in a button-up shirt, rather than have to take one's owner shirt off (or on) over all the Joker make-up...
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: optom3 on May 13, 2009, 11:04:25 pm
It certainly looks like Heath's hands to me, I love his long slim fingers, so I am thinking it is him. I have seen those fingers on so many lucky ladies faces as he leans in to kiss them.

I think it is a real photo.  Apparently the two guys either side of Heath are Justo & Andy, instructors of the Keysi Fighting Method, and the fight choreographers for The Dark Knight.  Hence those big muscles & big fists!

I think what makes the photo look a bit odd is that Heath's face is in full Joker makeup with the white face, but he's wearing his own clothing & not the purple coat.  Also, he's kind of grinning/grimacing in a Joker kind of way, so it makes the photo seem a little strange.

But those beautiful hands convince me that this is Heath!  Not to mention the chest...  ;)  Okay, all of him.

Also, I recognise the t-shirt he's wearing from other photos.

Wow, spiceylife, you have one heck of a command of Heath photos!  I'm impressed you found all those.  I'd love if you wanted to post other thematic Heath photo groupings.

And I'm in agreement about that really being Heath too.

Hi Heathens :)

I'm slowly getting back into something like a routine after my trip. Today I was lucky and found a new Heath pic from Parnassus, only to see the link to it a few minutes later here on BM, in the Heath Remembrance Forum. But here it is anyway:


(http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m47/Penthesilea06/Heath2/parnassusstudio11.jpg)




Kay has also posted a link to a clip from the Cannes Film Festival, where you can see a few seconds of Heath in Parnassus. I think most of you have already seen it, but if not, check it out http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,16605.msg511505.html#msg511505 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,16605.msg511505.html#msg511505)

In regard to this pic: I'm pretty sure it's real, not photoshopped. I think the shape looks like Heath alright and those fingers are Heath's. And of course the shirt is his, like it has already been said. The chest hair (what you can see of it) also fits. Few and blond, but definitively there.

It was lovely to see your face in the NYC pics. It certainly looked as if a good time was had by all, not that there was ever much doubt about that.Pretty much a foregone conclusion when Brokies get together.

It is equally good to see you back here, keeping up the Heath pics.

New Terry Gilliam interview  :) :

Quote
The directorial career of Terry Gilliam provides a fascinating case study in independent artistry.

Since the '80s, Gilliam has gone through innumerable clashes with production companies and various other parties to get his vision on the big screen.

This has resulted in alternately strong creative achievements ("Brazil") and unfortunate misfires ("The Brothers Grimm"). In all cases, there's a great story lurking in the background.

But no previous Gilliam excursion offers quite the same remarkable history as "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," which premieres at Cannes tomorrow.

The movie, about a magical theater company and its immortal showman, halted production in January of last year when its star, Heath Ledger, died.

Eventually, Gilliam managed to complete a new version of the movie by casting Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law to play Ledger's character at various moments along the timeline of the story. At first, however, Gilliam thought the production was unsalvageable.

"I gave up," the director said in a public conversation with film critic James Rocci at the American Pavilion today. "I said the film was over. That was it. But then I started to think about it, and I said I had to finish it for Heath."

Since money and time had already been invested in the production, Gilliam had to work quickly on writing a new version.

"The rewriting was quite simple," he said. "In casting, I said there was no way I'm going to get somebody to take care of that part. Heath goes through this mirror in 'Imaginarium,' through time, as these three people. That's when I called Johnny [Depp], and Johnny said, 'I'm in.' I started calling people who knew Heath and were close to him. I only wanted people who were in the family involved with this film."

Gilliam added, "I don't get into my mystical mode. The film made itself -- and was co-directed by Heath Ledger."

The filmmaker also said he thought he had dodged a bullet by not adapting Alan Moore's "Watchmen" in the late '80s, noting that the R-rated version directed by Zack Snyder dealt with the consequences of working with such difficult material.

Overall, Gilliam seemed like he was in a positive mood and not particularly nervous about tomorrow's premiere. He took a jovial stance about some of his previous failures, such as the notoriously ill-fated production of "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote."

This week, at Cannes, it was announced that the movie might come to life after all. That might account for his sense of humor when a wall suddenly fell down in the back of the room during today's conversation.

"This is what happened on 'Don Quixote,'" Gilliam quipped.

Unlike Francis Ford Coppola, Gilliam said he preferred showing his new movie in an out-of-competition slot. "It would be unbearable in competition," he said. "It's just another day at the office for me. I wish I could get back to that -- the thrill of the cinema -- but I'm just too old now."

Yes, I love that video.  It was just some person's crappy camera, but thank God they recorded it and posted it to YouTube.  I love that they gave him that award, and what he says in the speech.  The last time I was in Santa Barbara, Roux and I went past that theater, and I asked her to take my photo in front of it.

JOHNNY DEPP has paid a personal tribute to the late HEATH LEDGER by naming a section of his private paradise island in the Bahamas after the tragic actor.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star owns Little Hall's Pond Cay in the Caribbean and frequently travels there with his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and their two children, Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, seven.
Depp reveals he has renamed a prime snorkelling spot Heath's Place, in memory of his pal, and admits the sunshine getaway provides the perfect place to unwind and escape from the pressures of Hollywood.
He tells Vanity Fair magazine, "I don’t think I'd ever seen any place so pure and beautiful.
"(Pond Cay life) is my decompression. It's my way of trying to return to normalcy. Escapism is survival to me. You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It's instant freedom. ...And a little morsel of anonymity.
"Whenever I was getting frustrated about being 'novelty boy' and making movies, I told myself, Calm down. I can come down here and disappear. I spent the Christmas season here with Vanessa and the kids. You can feed hot dogs to the nurse sharks in the Exumas (the outer islands of the Bahamas) - but it's best to not swim when doing it."
Ledger died from an accidental prescription drug overdose in January 2008.
Depp is one of three actors who have stepped in to take over Ledger's role in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, his last unfinished project, alongside Colin Farrell and Jude Law.

I just watched a movie here on Aussie TV, called Two Hands, starring Heath as a 19yr old.

I may have missed it, if you have talked about it, but I had never heard of it before. Has anyone here seen it?

I enjoyed it, Heath was so young in it, but definately showed his talent even at that young age.

Heath Ledger documentary to air on Ovation TV
           By Nellie Andreeva Nellie Andreeva – Thu Jun 4, 11:30 pm ET
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – "Heath Ledger: A Tribute," an hourlong documentary special on the life of the late Oscar-winning actor, will have its U.S. premiere on Ovation TV this summer.

The cable channel has acquired the film from Australian production company World Wide Entertainment and plans to air it in August as part of a weeklong programing event, "Live Fast, Die Young," which focuses on stars whose lives ended prematurely. Subjects include Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and John Belushi.

"Throughout his short career, Heath Ledger seemed a star destined to burn brightly and leave a lasting mark," said Kris Slava, senior vice president of programing for Ovation TV. "This documentary is a warm, honest portrayal of the actor and the man, and features footage that has never been seen in America."

I love goofy Heath. I wanted to post some screenshots of Heath's appearance on Ellen, where they are bobsledding. Yet I didn't find any screencaps but one, so I post the video instead. Even better :).

PS: my speakers don't work at the moment, so I hope the video is ok.

I loved that whole Ellen interview, Heath was so relaxed but I think they were friends as well.I know Heath bought one of Ellen's houses from her I can't remember which though. The tiny cowboy outfit she gives him for Matilda too cute, and the skit she does on BBM in preparation for the Oscars, very funny.
Thanks for posting the bob sleigh clip, very, very cute.

It's impossible to say for sure from the clip, but I don't think so, too. Dozens of people work on such shows, and the props are prepared by some helpers.

(It's already afternoon here, but still morning for most of you).


A while ago I came across a picture in thumbnail size, that remeinded me very much of some painings of Frederik Remington. In fact, at first I thought it were indeed a Remington painting. Turned out it was  a Heath pic.

Let's make a little game of it, shall we? I'll post Remington paintings in thumbnail size and sneak in a Heath pic. Take a quick glance, just scrolling by, and see if you can identify the Heath pic at first sight.

You can say that and mean it!!!  :-* (Icon meant for both Heath and you)

I follow the photocaption thread over at DC, they use images from this scene and sequence quite a lot because it does lend itself to that sort of use since his emotions, his fear and insecurity are so eloquent.

I laugh at the captions but I never fail to just look at the picture(s) and sigh a little over how wonderful that scene is, how pitch-perfect and deeply moving Ennis is.  :'(

*sigh*


---

I think 4 feathers is arguably the worst film Heath ever made, so I don't rewatch it, but that camel pic you posted sure caught my eye, Chrissi. It is very striking artistically, but what strikes me the most of all is how Heath is sitting, his legs lightly crossed in front of him on top of that huge big wagging animal.... I would have been so terrified!! I get nervous just from watching Heath there.  :o He sure did have balance and presence and guts.

Never heard of it either. I'm not sure I really get the whole concept, but from what I've read I can picture Heath there. Reminds me somehow of that Mexico trip with The Masses we read about.

Never heard of it either. I'm not sure I really get the whole concept, but from what I've read I can picture Heath there. Reminds me somehow of that Mexico trip with The Masses we read about.
Where have you read this bit?

It´s mentioned early on in this article. It´s mentioned in the context of Judd Mongrel speking about him and Heath having many common interests.

    SOME GOOD NEWS FINALLY ABOUT THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR PARNASSIS.....critics are happy with it....now- I

hope it gets an American Distributor......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cannes  Film Festival on May 22, and it was met with anticipation and furrowed brows ...

At the moment of his untimely death, Heath Ledger had filmed roughly half of the scenes in which his character, Tony, appears in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Director Terry Gilliam shut down the picture and assumed it could never be completed. "Luckily, I was surrounded by good people who told me I couldn't be so lazy," Gilliam told the press at Cannes on May 22. And a solution was found that not only "works" but, in interesting ways, enriches the story.

Gilliam called "only people who knew and loved Heath." Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell answered the call (and donated their salaries to Ledger's young daughter Matilda.)

So, what happens when you have an Australian, an American, an Englishman and an Irishman all walking though the same magic mirror? Entertaining things.

Doctor Parnassus (an absolutely wonderful Christopher Plummer) is immortal as the result of a pact made over 1000 years ago with the devil, known here as "Mr. Nick" and played with gravelly aplomb by Tom Waits. In contemporary London, the doctor, his teenage daughter Valentina (Lily Cole) and troupe members Anton (Andrew Garfield) and Percy (Verne Troyer, perhaps best known as Mini Me, in a straight role) give impromptu performances from their portable theater. Playing mostly to the poorer areas of the city, they invite patrons to walk through a slit-down-the-middle mirror that leads to fantastic and unpredictable landscapes.

Ledger played Tony as a fellow who may be helpful, may be harmful and should definitely be dead. (Given Ledger's untimely demise, much will be made of how Tony cheats death, but those scenes should be read as long-percolating fantasy and not ironic wishful thinking.)

All four Tonys sport a white suit and similar facial hair. The three adjunct Tonys take on some of Ledger's mannerisms but also bring their own flourishes to the part (one of the special effects that Law ends up with really stood out for us).

The result is an epic, frequently comical and always imaginative showdown between good and evil, played out with a slightly overbearing mix of declaiming and flailing and rescued by wonderful set pieces in the Imaginarium itself.

Although there are dark and scary moments along the way, the ending is both satisfying and happy.

Viewers who have enjoyed Gilliam's free-wheeling flights of fancy in the past will find this to be a sort of "Terry's Greatest Hits," enhanced by truly inventive special effects work. Ledger and Company's Tony is just one of several characters in an ensemble cast of very gifted performers.

All of the honorees from film and television were present, with actors from their projects presenting them. Ang Lee ("Brokeback Mountain") was introduced by the quiet, softspoken Heath Ledger and the charming and gregarious Jake Gyllenhaal. They talked about what an honor and a privilege working on the film had been and how Ang's direction helped them grow as actors. When Heath and Jake introduced him, they both started to tear up and gave the director hugs when he reached the stage. The soft-spoken director took a moment, looked back at them with a smile, turned to the audience and said, "I don't know, guys. That felt kind of gay to me."

Talk about exploding a stereotype! We must have laughed for five solid minutes!

There was joke after joke about "Brokeback" all evening, and not a single one was derogatory or mean-spirited. That's entertainment.

A sequence from The Masses' tribute video. I just rewatched it again. The ending, when the music is cut off so abruptly, always makes an impression on me :(.

I was looking at tattoo pics on photobucket yesterday and came across this. Then I image googled "joker, tattoo" - jeez! You wouldn't believe how many people have a joker tattoo - and how many bad ones are around :o.
Obviously, the second one is not a Heath pic, but I added it anyway.

Good morning Heathens :)

Today's Heath pics are of bad quality, but they make me smile big time :).

My second daughter finishes elementary school this year and starts at a new school after the summer holidays. Months ago, we toured several schools to see which one would be the best for her. At one of the schools, I saw a drawing of Heath as the Joker in a hallway. I didn't have a camera or cellphone with me then, so couldn't take a pic. Meanwhile, the decision is made and last week was a welcome event at her new school. The parents got lots of info in the gym while the kids had fun in their future classroom, to get to know their teachers and classmates. Afterwards the parents picked up their kids at their classrooms.

And what picture hangs in the hallway directly next to the door of my daughter's classroom? Yep, of course, the painting with the Joker :D.
This time, I had my cellphone with me, so here it is. Sadly, there are reflections on it, but you can recognize it.

*When I last posted this, BBM was at 300 votes, it's now at 331.

It's up to 332 now - I added mine. But BBM is still trailing by 36% to 39%.

I bet some of those voting haven't even seen Brokeback - but everyone and his cousin from outer space have seen TDK. It should be the other way around, in *my* perfect world...

I have added my vote and BBM is still in the lead.The passport comment I will have to disagree with, in the kindest way, of course. I admit it forms part of a series of pics that portray one of my least favourite  Heath looks, however, no such thing as a bad pic of Heath. I should know as an Optometrist, I see 20/20, albeit maybe with rose tinted specs. when it comes to Heath.  :)

I'm sure you've all heard of LOLCats......pics of various animals with captions added to the pics, and bad spelling and grammar, as if the animals are talking.  The website that started them is called "I Can Haz Cheezburger" and this is the pic that started it all.

He he I almost did something similar. I had gotten the house number wrong, so I walked to the other end of Broome Street at first. I saw one building that kinda looked like what I remembered from the pictures so I thought it might be it. But I was going to meet up with other Brokies at a restaurant that was supposed to be on the opposite side of the street of Heath´s house. Of course there was none there so that´s how come me end up at the right address eventually. 8)

Yes the one I am talking about looks very much like the one in the pictures. At least I think it does. The one I thought it was is on the corner of Broome and Mercer. By the way this is right up the street from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I would highly recommend going there especially if you like music as much as I do. They have an excellent tribute to John Lennon as well.

Have a great time Chrissi.  :)

I found this on imdb's Brokeback Mountain trivia page:

'Writer Annie Proulx sent both Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger an original, autographed copy of her story. When she signed the copy to Jake she wrote "To Jake..." but when she signed the copy she had intended to give to Heath she signed it "To Ennis". After writing out her personal message she realized what she had done and decided to leave it be. In a private screening at Arclight in Hollywood, CA she reflected that Heath Ledger really was Ennis. She left the signed copy that way because she had felt Mr. Ledger has embodied Ennis in every way she had imagined him.

I've always felt that there was something magical about this movie, like the stars were in the right configuration or something. It all fits perfectly. There's a sense of destiny, of how-it-was-supposed-to-be. Reading this little bit of information about Annie Proulx only confirms that for me.

MilAn, thank you so much.  There is a mention of this new video on the cover of our local Seattle newspaper today.  It is really creative - in look and content.  The illustrator, Daniel Auber, and producer, Sarah Cline, are core The Masses folk.  And I love the new-to-me Masses animated logo at the end, super-creative.  It is such a bummer that he cannot continue to work with these wonderfully creative and supportive people.  And a bummer for them, since he helped them with much-needed cash for their projects.  I gave them a donation in Heath's name when he died, but probably won't often again, if ever.

Making "King Rat" by Daniel Auber

When Heath asked me to collaborate on this video I found it more than just a good cause, I was incredibly happy to have that first experience of he and I sitting by a desk and giving life to something together. So far our previous collaborations were of a different nature (a big movie production and a lot of cooking at dinner parties) I was confident because, in my opinion, if someone can cook together, they can also make a movie.

The creation of an artwork is a process that people enjoy in different ways. For some it's painful, for others it's joyful, but it's always hard work. The first part of the creation for the "King Rat" video (two weeks of making the animatic with Heath) had been just a lot of fun and discovery. We were both new to this kind of work, and that's what kept us excited.

A few weeks before starting I made a sketch of a fishing whale character. Heath liked it, so I knew more or less what kind of style I should draw going forward. When I joined him in London, Terry Gilliam let us work in the conference room of his visual effects company (Peerless). It was luxury: we had a massive window overlooking Covent Garden, and Terry's creative vibrations in the air.

Terry would come to see the progress every once in a while and we were excited to hear his advice. This is why Heath decided to have the "Monty Python trumpets" popping down from the clouds, and also why I proposed to have Terry's face as "The Sun" in our video. We felt like school kids inspired by our favorite teacher.

Ninety percent of the drawings that are used in the video were intended to be storyboard sketches. This was our working chain: Heath would tell me what happens in the scene, I would draw the shots, then he would edit them with the song. We laughed like children as we looked at the results, the new toy was working.

We started the process from the beginning of the song:

Blue colours are bright and serene, with a tiny tone of green suggesting a possible sinister evolution in the story.

As the video advances, the quantity of green and black increases, preparing us for darkness.

When our eyes have adjusted to the desaturated tones, a complementary bright red starts to appear.

The clip had to be shocking. The fun we were having was less important than the strength of Heath's message in favour of marine wildlife. The treatment he wrote initially was a bit longer. We had to cut the restaurant scene where the whales eat sushi made with human fingers. It didn't matter because the pet seal's close-up was a strong ending.

The powerful song by Modest Mouse was a major inspiration. Isaac's dramatic voice was driving us towards a deranged imaginative territory. It was great.
At the end of that process, in our high-tech conference room we made a projection for Terry and the Peerless people that saw us walking in and out for weeks (only Nicky Valsamakis knew exactly what was going on all the way, and obviously our Masses colleagues back home in LA).
The animatic was already a roughly functional music video by itself.

After Heath left us, I didn't have any intention of finishing the video without him. It was Sara Cline who had the idea of finishing it, so Heath's cause against whale hunting would find exposure. And we would all have the pleasure of seeing another one of his challenging works. I said yes with no hesitation.

The second stage of making the video, with lead animator Norris Houk and animator Jade Taglioli, was about bringing to life the still drawings from the animatic.
My mind was still populated by all the information and details that Heath transmitted me during the London days. I knew exactly what he had in mind for the animation. For example, his description of the whales walking towards the bow of the boat, or dancing during the party, was very precise. We both had a whale dance in the office before starting to work on that sequence.

In fact, the main quality that would have made Heath a great director, in my opinion, was his ability to be contagious with his ideas, and to describe them in a very convincing way, with a lot of joy. Work has to be fun somehow, otherwise it's not worth it.

Jade and Norris did a remarkable job animating those shots for a month. My duty was to pass the message on, as precisely as possible.

My favourite memory on this video is very far from its shocking and distinctive taste. It's quite cheesy, actually: whilst we spent long days working on the animatic, listening endlessly to interrupted bits of Isaac's haunting and cavernous voice, there was another song being played constantly coming from outside the window.
It wasn't annoying us because its paradisiac nature was having a complementary effect on us. It was Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Every time I randomly hear that song, I think of how lucky I was to be over there for a few wonderful weeks.

Ooh, good one, Paul, grazie!  I miss Chrissilein too.

I think the reason so many of them are new to us is because they are from Australia.  springrose147, who made that video, is from Australia and does wonderful Heath videos.  Here with Rose Byrne - who totally holds her own in these shots, in 1999.  How can a little whippersnapper from Perth know how to look so ring-a-ding?

As usual, I can't see the video on The Masses website, I hope to find it on youtube. The vid Paul posted is lovely, and there were a few pics in it I hadn't seen before.

Long?
Tell you what long is: when I was a kid, summer vacation always meant three weeks, not only two like nowadays. That was the standard. My parents always went for three weeks, and the summer kids vacations (similar to American summer camps) also were for three weeks.
One summer I was on vacation throughout the whole six weeks of school holidays: first three weeks with a youth group in Italy, then three weeks with my parents in Austria. Aww, wonderful, lazy times :D.

And when hubby and I went on holidays as students, we always stayed as long as the money lasted, mostly four or five weeks. No credit cards, no bank cards, no phones, no plans. Just grabbing the money we had in cash, our tent and some clothes, then hopping on the motorbike and heading south: Austria, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey. Ahhh, that was the life!

But now the thought of my kids doing the same makes me shudder. Our parents never knew where we were and when we would come back. Postcards took six or eight weeks to arrive and we never called. I can't imagine my daughter hopping on a motorbike with some stranger (to me) and being gone for god knows how many weeks without a sign of life. :o Thank god for cellphones!

How times change ....

You made me go over to IMDB and look up 500 Days of Summer (starts only in Nov. in Germany, so I've never heard of it before).

We have one movie on hard disk somewhere with JGL, and I have no idea what it is or what the title is. I came into the living room when hubby just checked if the movie runs well. It was a night scene and I did a double take because I thought it was Heath.  :-\
Never got the urge to see that movie.

I haven't made it over here in a whiiiiile, but I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the new trailer... I involuntarily smile when he says "Voilà!" every time I watch the video (which has been more times than I'd like to admit) for some reason I find it completely adorable. It will certainly be hard to watch a movie that he died while making, but I feel the need to take in every last second of his work since it is sadly more limited than we would have liked. The movie looks trippy but good to me, I know others will disagree. It seems to have a bit of a "Science of Sleep" look to it which I loved.

Just now I had a little Heath moment. I was watching an episode of Law and Order; Criminal Intent. The two main characters were investigating a murder of a jewelry thief and they searched his apartment for clues. They go up to a big window in the apartment, where they stand and discuss the case. What do I suddenly see? Heath´s building just across the street. I jumped off the couch and yelled "That´s Heath´s building!" (although in Swedish ;)). To whom I have no idea, since I´m alone. They kept talking for a while so I sat there and stared through the window behind the characters, at Heath´s windows.

The ground level of that building (the part that is painted black) doubled for the jewelry store that the victim had robbed)

Wow, good Heathing, Monika!  There are, of course, lots of buildings in NYC that look similar to the Broome Street building where Heath lived, but I'm willing to go along with your gut.  "Law and Order" series have filmed in the City for years.  8)

Thanks, E.

The glasses, definately the glasses. And when I first saw it, I saw it kinda in the corner of my eye and for one second I actually thought it was a picture of Heath and Ang.
I´m not sure if Heath wore those glasses a lot, but to me they have become something of a trademark of Heath´s.

thanks for posting that, Sel.

I have seen the photos from that photo shoot of course, but never the video.

It´s quite different to see him move around, than to look at the photos, ain´t it?

Over the past few days I´ve had a severe case of Brokeback blues. Ennis and Jack have been on my mind a *lot*.

a few minutes ago I was contemplating this picture and was just overwhelmed with sadness. I remember standing in front of that house myself just a few weeks ago; I remember how run down, and about-to-fall-down it looked by now. Soon that house will be gone and then of course it´s Heath, who already is. :'(
And as we already know, "there are places we can´t return"

I really need to have some fun this weekend to shake this feeling.

I hope you manage to shake the blues, Monika.  :-*

I know what you mean, though, do I ever.  I had the chance to sit behind the wheel of Ennis's truck while in Denver, and see some of the clothes the boys wore in the movie including Ennis's brown jacket. A friend of Meryl's and mine who isn't a Brokie was with us at the time and she said she could see how extremely moved we were and what an impression it all made.

And that's for sure. Sitting in that car and remembering Heath - and Ennis - it was a very emotional experience.

I haven't visited the Alberta locations myself, only vicariously through the pictures posted here at Bettermost. Particularly those on Chuck's thread. I know what you mean about the sadness. Seeing the film locations decay and fade away seems so sad. Soon enough only the faintest traces will remain, then nothing. I am reminded of how some people commented on how the story and film seemed to be guided by a spirit. I can see why. A grieving spirit who needed his story told. He guided Annie's hand, he guided the script, and stalled it's development until the right director, actors, locations etc. were ready to bring his story to it's full expression. Now that so many have shared in it and grieved for and with him, he's gone and at rest. These locations are no longer watched over by him, and so they, like him, dissolve into the Void. At least that's how I like to think of it.

Thanks Belbbmfan and Mikaela. I´m feeling better. Sometimes I just think about it too much and get very sad. But I have tried to be more active outdoors these last days and it has helped.

I bet it was an emotional experience, Mikaela! It´s very nice of Adam to make the truck available for every Brokie who wants to see it and sit in it.

What a beautiful way to look at it, Ian. Whether you believe in supernatural elements or not, the story has a strong symbolic meaning.
And nothing lasts forever, so we better enjoy it while we can.

I have found myself more upset about Heath recently.
 I suspect it is because of the death of MJ and the widely reported accounts of his insomnia. It seems as if the 2 artists were maybe struggling with some of the same demons. I was never a massive fan of M.J but he certainly seems to have had many problems, which people rather than trying to help with, continued to enable and hence still stay on the pay roll.
Both incidents have found me asking, does true artistic genius always have to be the result of an overly sensitive and in some cases reckless soul.The need to continually push boundaries to limits never before seen.
Back as far as Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, not to mention, Van Gogh and numerous others, we see the same tortured souls , who non the less produced masterpieces.
It is all simply too sad.

I watched "10 Things I Hate About You" last night--a good antidote to a nasty, rainy weekend.  Again, I was struck by the resemblance between Heath and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Couldn't agree more, using the past tense when writing or talking about Heath is just all wrong. Love the fact that he looks so happy in the Imaginarium pics, that helps a little.

A couple of years ago (or whenever), when we found out that Heath was preparing to direct a film version of The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis, I set up an automatic Google search for that title, to keep watch of any developments.  Turning that book into a film was an excellent, insightful choice for him. 

The results of the search still trickle in, now and then, but Heath hasn't been associated with them anymore.  I still can't seem to be ready to turn off that search.  It was the Heath project I was most excited about.

The results of the search still trickle in, now and then, but Heath hasn't been associated with them anymore.  I still can't seem to be ready to turn off that search.  It was the Heath project I was most excited about.

 :'( :'( :'(

I was just thinking about that, Elle.  Especially after listening to the new concert version of "Chess" with Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal and Josh Groban (!).  I can't help but think what he might have done to adapt that book, with Ellen Page as the main character.

What a sight for sore eyes. For some reason, I am feeling really weepy over Heath at the moment. I don't know where it has suddenly sprung from again. I don't even care that the woman showing me the ropes at the opticians thinks I am slightly unhinged with my Heath wallpaper. !!!!
Maybe it is the reduction of my anti Deps. or maybe the after ffects of the seizure and now I feel better, realising how for the 2nd time this year, prescribed medications nearly finished me off.

The website Film.com is having a "best of" poll.  They've been having  people vote on "Best Male Performance of '00s".

They are down to the last four actors.....Robert Downey Jr. vs. Daniel Craig, and Heath Ledger (for Joker) vs. Elijah Wood (for Frodo).

Voting ends Sept. 30th.  So far, Ledger trails Elijah Wood, 42% to 58%

Let's get Heath ahead of Elijah!  Click the link below, and the page will open up.  Scroll down past a pic and video of The Joker, and then a pic and video of Frodo.  You'll find the place to vote there.

Sorry, Chuck.  I've been voting for Elijah.  I know, it's shocking!  But I was faced with a real GDBOAUS (LOTR was my first fandom) and decided Elijah's central performance in three first class movies deserves to be recognized.   Heath's star turn in a good but less than great action flick could take a back seat this once.  Besides, Heath got an Oscar for the Joker, and Elijah?  Well, he never got his full due, me thinks. 

Sadly, the undoubtedly "Best Performance of the 00's", Ennis del Mar, lost in the first round to Leo DiCaprio in "Blood Diamond."  :-\

The stale coffee is boiling up but he catches it before it goes over the
side, pours it into a stained cup and blows on the black liquid, lets a
panel of the dream slide forward. If he does not force his attention
on it, it might stoke the day, rewarm that old, cold time on the
mountain when they owned the world and nothing seemed wrong.

It's a pic from the premiere of the movie Torque, 2004, and the guy is Martin Henderson (who starred in Torque). Henderson is from NZ and also starred in "Sweat". I guess he and Heath knew each other from Aussie-times.

A while ago on this thread we discussed James Gordon-Levitt and his latest movie "(500) days of summer". I just watched it and it was good. Quite a fresh and unique take on the overused romantic-comedy genre. Both leads were very good too.
James´s resemblance with Heath, often felt a bit uncanny though. James´s looks exactly like Heath did in Two Hands. And sometimes the voice is very similar too.

Not new, but I haven't seen this pic in a long time. Tell you what: I think I'm getting old ::). He's sooo young in that pic, still a teenager. It's clear that the pose is meant to be sexy, but my reaction is more motherly than anything else.

Thanks for posting those pics, Chrissie. I agree, Heath makes it looks like it´s something he does every day. Or rather, as usual I don´t see Heath at all. It´s Ennis all the way.
In that scene, I always want to know EXACTLY what Jack is thinking as Ennis rides off. 8)

Post by: optom3 on October 26, 2009, 10:16:46 am
As soon as I saw those pics I could hear the cough, BBM is so deeply ingrained in me.
 I was thinking the other day, that so many of Heath's films show him riding horses, which he is exceptionally competant at. He rides in BBM, The Patriot, Casanova, AKT, Ned Kelly, I love seeing him on a horse he looks so masterful. :)
It al;so struck me that he is never Heath, he was Dan in Candy even down to staying out of the sun in his beloved Aus. so he got the junkies pallor,so many time I sigh and think what a loss.

Hello Heathens!  I'm posting here to cross-reference a thread started tonight over in Open Forum by chowhound called "Names": http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,38241.msg546062.html (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,38241.msg546062.html)

It's about pseudonyms that both Heath and Jake used during the filimming of BBM as referenced on a call sheet.  It would be interesting if any of the make-believe names that Heath used (and Jake too... I'm going to post in JJJ in a sec) have any particular meanings.  I thought Heathens here would be just the folks to ask.

The only thing I get from the name Keith Fletcher is that it sounds very similar to Heath Ledger. Almost exactly the same, so perhaps they (or he) just had a little fun with the words when creating the name.

I found this on the bbc website:

 Ledger's last music video online

The last music video directed by Heath Ledger before his death has been posted on website YouTube.

The actor directed a video of the track Cause An Effect by London-born rapper No Fixed Abode shortly before starring in The Dark Knight in 2008.

Ledger made the three-and-a-half minute film in his garage in Sydney, Australia, with a single camera.

The actor had previously created videos for guitarist Ben Drake and rock band Modest Mouse.

It is believed the Cause An Effect video is the last project Ledger had complete creative control over.

No Fixed Abode frontman N'FA, who was one of the actor's close childhood friends, said: "The idea was to keep it very artistic which is what we did.

"Heath directed really well and I know that Heath was happy with the work.

"Every day I count my blessings that I got to have him direct this piece of art."

Ledger died following an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in January 2008.

Hi Fabienne, thanks for posting the YouTube link.  The last time I checked, it wasn't on YouTube yet, but was and is viewable on The Masses site.  This video came out a while before Heath died, as well as the other video he did for N'fa Forster.  (Ironically, in a fit of facebook paranoia, I just removed N'fa as a facebook friend tonight, deciding to only keep people I really know.  But we were facebook friends for about a year, since he accepted my friend request.  Diana Ossana is the only celebrity-type person I'm keeping, because I inherently trust her.)

A while ago on this thread we discussed James Gordon-Levitt and his latest movie "(500) days of summer". I just watched it and it was good. Quite a fresh and unique take on the overused romantic-comedy genre. Both leads were very good too.
James´s resemblance with Heath, often felt a bit uncanny though. James´s looks exactly like Heath did in Two Hands. And sometimes the voice is very similar too.
There were numerable times that I gasped. It was a weird experience.
But I recommend the movie, very clever and sweet.

Strange! I wathced "500 Days" last week too and I was thinking to myself that Jg-L looked less like Heath than I had expected! (But Two Hands is the only Heath film - well, that and Imaginarium - that I haven't watched yet.

I agree with the recommendation of 500 days, though. It grew on me after I'd watched it, and made me think.

Surely not me. I had heard the name, but all I connected with it was the pretty boy/teenage heart-throb image, in which I was totally uninterested. Who would have thought ...

Well, even if it was just a teen heartthrob-type role, Heath had me hooked the moment he brushed back Julia Stiles's hair on her front porch after the paintball contest.  I thought to myself this guy is WAY more than a flash-in-the-pan teen heartthrob.  Something in his eyes, and the way he moved his face and body -- very controlled, but very natural also.  I'm glad he quickly moved on to garner more adult roles after that, rather than getting stereotyped.  He was just a genius, not a day goes by that I don't think several times about what a loss to the acting world his death was.  He was just hitting his first stride...

Just to be clear: I hadn't seen a single one of Heath's movies prior to BBM. I just had heard/read about 10 Things and AKT, and Heath's name.


Oh, that's not quite correct: In fact had seen BG prior to BBM. But didn't realize it's the same guy.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Monika on November 09, 2009, 01:36:33 pm
I had seen several of his movies before Brokeback- TTIHAU, AKN, The Order, The Patriot and Monster's Ball. I remember him mainly from TTIHAY because I thought, and still, think, it's one of the best movies in the genre. I also remember the small hype around his character in Monster's Ball.
I really didn't have much of an opinion about him though, I was just aware of his presence and his good looks. So therefore my jaw litterally dropped when I watched Brokeback.

Jake is a different story. I saw him years ago in October Sky and fell in love with the movie. Bought the movie and the book behind it. It wasn't like I had a crush on him - he looked way too young - but I thought he was great and I remember hoping that I would get to see more of him. O0

He he. That picture shows how I feel every morning. Luckily only for a minute or so. The alarm clock is like a being hit by a freight train. :P


Good morning Buffy and all Heathens :).

I love this! Ennis holding a sugar sack. A small piece of symbolism that I think has been overlooked. At this point in the film, having just come down from the mountain, and a few months from being married, the sweet life is in Ennis's grasp.
Title: Re: Heath Heath Heath
Post by: Brown Eyes on November 23, 2009, 03:39:40 pm
Yes, I agree!  The sugar bag could be easily overlooked as a bit of symbolism because it's so subtle... it takes a lot of looking to really notice what kind of bag that is.

Retropian, I really like the connection between the sweet life and the sugar bag... yeah, this is a turning point moment for Ennis where the possiblity of a sweet life is still within his reach.  And, it most definitely seems important that he has it immediately after coming down from Brokeback.

Sorry, Monika.  All I could find was an old paper bag.  But it does have a little fairy on it.

I had a nagging feeling that this has been discussed before.  Sure enough, a lovely post by my dear friend Toast, from an old thread called "Paper Bags" from January 2007.  Nice reminder of them early days.

Gorgeous thread.
Ennis starts out and ends with all that matters in a paper bag.

Can I add one thing:
When Ennis comes down the mountain, he no longer has a paper bag, but he has a cloth bag.  It is a cotton sugar bag. And the brand name of the sugar was Crystal.

I watched the last part together with them. And found those scenes of him and Francesca happy and smiling actually very hard to watch.  :-\

Count me in on that minority as well, ladies.  LOD is quite possibly my number 2 fave of Heath's.  The "Maggie May" scene and the one where he's on the rooftop with a bottle just give me chills.  Fiona and I argued about this -- as much as she loves Heath more than anyone I've ever known, she just couldn't get past the fake teeth long enough to appreciate the performance.  Even if you put aside Heath's performance in that flick, it was still a great movie.  Emile Hirsch, I believe, is a mesmerizing actor, and he's going to do great things.  He won my heart with "Into the Wild".  Reminds me a bit of Heath.

So count me in to the LOD lovefest!

Washington: Johnny Depp has said he's privileged to play the role originally meant for Heath Ledger in new movie The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.

Ledger had passed away due to an accidental drug overdose in January 2008, halfway through the filming.

"Though the circumstances of my involvement are extremely heartrending and unbelievably sad, I feel privileged to have been asked aboard to stand in on behalf of dear Heath...," Contactmusic quoted him as telling Moviefone.com.

He added: "He was the only player out there breathing heavy down the back of every established actor's neck with a thundering and ungovernable talent that came up on you quick, hissing rather mischievously with that cheeky grin, 'Hey... get on out of my way boys, I'm coming through!' And does he ever!"

An ensemble cast of Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Depp has filled in Ledger's shoes for the film

No snow for me, though it's all over the news in Germany that there's plenty of snow everywhere. Traffic on the Autobahnen and at the airports was hindered, and it's friggin cold.
I hope to see the Imaginarium with Kerstin, but will see it alone if necessary. Def not on IMAX, I didn't even know there's an IMAX version.

My start into the new year was lovely and loud, with six children and three adults at our place. :laugh:

Hope you also had a good start :-*.

Just a few days ago, we saw BG on TV, this means the butchered dubbed version. I was bitching about the dubbing, thus my hubby got me the DVD, so I can watch it in English (ain't he sweet?).

Anyway, my daughter really liked the movie. And Heath, and Matt. Bless her heart!
And yesterday an article about the Imaginarium was in the newspaper, and she left it on the kitchen table for me, folded in a way that this article was the first thing my eyes fell on. Bless her heart twice. :)

Quote from Matt Damon:

"Heath's the best actor I've ever worked with," he says. "Coming off The Brothers Grimm, which wasn't particularly well-received, I remember telling people about him. 'Heath Ledger, you mean the guy from A Knight's Tale?' they would say. I'd tell them, 'No, you wait!' And then he did Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight. People just got a glimpse of what he was going to do. He was so full of life. I don't think I'll ever get over that, nor will anybody who knew him. He was a miracle of a man. It's just horrible. It sucks." He starts to tear up, and gulps down some much-needed mineral water.

Hi Chrissi.  I liked Ned Kelly ok.  Outside of Australia, I'm not sure the story has the same resonance.  It's the outlaw with the heart of gold kinda thing.  It was great seeing Heath, this time with a heavy Irish accent.  He even has his hair very short in one scene and he looks like the pictures above! 

Somehow, Rachel Griffiths was in it too. 

I think The Order is the only Heath film I haven't yet seen.

Same here. I think it's an ok film, but no enthusiasm on my side.

      He was very evocative of Heath in the ball scene.  Specially in the first picture.  He is one of those cases
where the guy is prettier than the girl.

      I will say however, they were awesome in their dance.

Thanks for that info, trekfan.  From that article, "But there was a scene that Cooper shot with Bridges and a local Texas actor in the part that was to have gone to Ledger. Despite, or perhaps because of, that chilly refusal on the phone, Bad Blake heads to Marfa, Texas, and tracks down his estranged progeny. “It’s a powerful moment, but I didn’t have final cut, and there were folks who said we should cut it -- that all of the information was there in the phone call scene.”

Again with the Marfa, Texas and Heath.

That's interesting, trekfan! It's true that the phone call scene gives all the information we need, yet it also seems a bit truncated and loose-endy. Heath would have been a great addition to that movie.

But then Faulkner didn't have DVD extras.

If only! That's the great thing about DVDs -- you get the finished work, PLUS the dead darlings.

I love that video but it rips my heart apart every time, even after all this time. The merry go round clips always remind me of the opening scene in Candy. I look at him and then my son who has been so near death with the same Rx meds and then I noticed Heath is wearing the same Vans that my son has. Sometimes it is all just too much.

I don't know abpout the pin, but I don't think there's much of a story behind it. I guess it was provided by some professional outfitter.
But it sure is an unusual and beautiful piece, isn't it? Albeit it looks a bit like a silver version of those floret-like tooth picks  ;).

Thank you for the Oscar pics of yore, Chrissi.


I don't remember this one!  I love it.  Every picture of Heath and Diana Ossana that I've ever seen, she looks very happy to be so close to him.  

(http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss192/Penthesilea09/Heath/77f50fae.jpg)



I DO remember this one, and love it too.  I like all these guys, and love that they hung out and talked.  For anyone who doesn't remember, that's Joaquin Phoenix with his back to the camera.

It was at the Oscars that year that there was a little clip of Annie Proulx saying that his name should be "Heath Legend."  I tried to find it on YouTube just now, but couldn't.  Can anybody post it?

Sure did! Heath must have regreted it to not have the pin/pick at hand at the Rescue Dawn party. He could have helped out the lady behind him:

Agreed. I remember one photo of the two where she looked at him in a way that I thought she looks like she's melting. And who could blame her?
In the above picture I like that she has her shoes in her hands. It was at the Governor's Ball after the Oscars. I bet she was happy to get rid of those murderous heels.

I also like all of the people in this picture 8).
Even though I hold a small grudge against PSH for getting the Oscar instead of Heath. But it wasn't his decision after all.

I know this is being discussed in the JJJ thread too.  I'm so curious about what he says.  I can't really watch this with the volumn on here at work, and I can't watch videos on my computer at home... so could someone transcribe what he says?

In short: The reporter asked Jake if Heath's presence could be felt at the Kodac theater (assuming he meant that Heath was supposed to present BSA Oscar, because he won BSA Oscar last year). Jake, who seemed uncomfortable when asked about him, responded that...yes, Heath's presence was felt since he was supposed to present. The interviewer who noticed that Jake was uncomfortable apologized for ruining the mood. Jake said it was ok and that it was a nice evening, because Maggie was nominated and normally Heath would be here to present her category, but he's not. That was all.

Thanks MilAn.  OK, yeah, that is kind of a strange way to bring the topic up.. especially the "feeling his presence" thing.  But, I guess topic-wise it makes some sense since Heath would have normally been a presenter.

Jake mentions Heath in interview:

OK, I’ll hold you to that. In this movie Tobey again will be seen as a great actor. A lot of people just remember him as Spiderman – do you think people will be surprised?

Yes. It’s like when I worked with Heath Ledger. When we started working together I think people were blown away by his performance in the movie (Brokeback Mountain). I don’t think people expected that from him. At least that’s what I heard that from the journalists and people who saw that movie. It is wonderful to see someone who everybody talks about. It is wonderful to hear. It is wonderful to have either fooled the people as he has done or to have been honest in the way that he has been that they go, wow!.

Heath was great in Brokeback, but he was also great in other roles before that. Unfortunately many of his previous films weren't that well received, but he still gave his all and did a great acting job.

As always a lovely collection of Heath.
It was so surreal, yesterday I was flicking through TV chanels and arrived at hollywoods  15 greatest tragedies just in time to see that horrible shot of him being moved from his appartment. I watched and he was cited as the number 1 tragedy, the narrator and producers going on to say he would have had a career that spanned decades.
It made me so very sad all over again.

This cute little piece from the New York Times isn't about Heath, but it is about Matilda:

Chatting Up the Trophy Girl, Toddler Style
By ALBERT STERN
April 16, 2010

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/18/fashion/18LOVE.html

THE future of love revealed itself to me one morning two autumns ago as I zipped up my toddler’s sweater outside a popular cafe in Boerum Hill in Brooklyn, one that played a role in my amorous past.

About five years earlier, this cafe was where I first worked up the nerve to talk to the woman who would become my wife. After silently watching her drink her morning coffee for about a month, I finally seized on the fact that she was toting a yoga mat to sputter out my opening line, something sparkling like: “Do you do yoga around here?”

She and I are the first married couple who met at the cafe, and our son, Eliot, is considered to be the cafe’s first baby, two feats that have accorded our family a small measure of local celebrity. But I am aware that there are far bigger celebrities among us in the neighborhood.

The events leading up to my revelation about love’s future began as I ate a bagel at one of the two small tables tucked behind the counter of the tiny cafe, while my son drummed happily on the metal top of the other. A goggle-eyed girl peered around the corner, clearly excited by Eliot’s drumming. Though I hadn’t seen her in some time, I recognized the child as Matilda Ledger, the daughter of the actors Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger.

“Mommy!” she exclaimed. “Can I play drums with that boy?”

Michelle Williams peered around the counter at us, and I smiled and told her I’d keep an eye on things while she placed her order. Matilda ran back and joined my son, the two of them pounding on the tabletop for several minutes until Michelle Williams sat down with her coffee.

In case you ever wondered, Michelle Williams — very nice. She introduced herself and her daughter. We had already met here twice before, but clearly she had no recollection of either encounter. Given her fame and busy life, this should not have disappointed me, but disappoint me it did.

Matilda, still charged up by the drumming, asked Eliot his name.

He told her.

“How old are you, Eliot?” she asked.

He held up his index and middle finger and said, “2.”

While our children interacted, Michelle Williams and I exchanged the same boilerplate about parenthood that we had the last times we’d spoken. After our previous encounters, I had come away wondering if, were we ever to meet again, I should tell her about the time a driver staring at her and Heath Ledger on the sidewalk almost ran me over in an intersection. I had even come up with the perfect New York Post headline: “Brokeback Rubbernecker Breaks Broke Brooklynite’s Back in Braking Heartbreak.”

My wife thought that was sort of amusing. If I was ever going to tell Michelle Williams that story, this was the time. We were sitting by ourselves and, thanks to the children, I had an opening.

Did I tell it? Of course not. I anticipated a glassy look and perfunctory smile, and so kept the story to myself. The two of us bantered on autopilot about parental ups and downs for a few more minutes, and she nodded and smiled at the appropriate moments, responded politely a few times, and then pulled out her BlackBerry.

“Um ... so,” I said. “How old are you, Matilda?”

“I’m 4,” Matilda responded.

“Matilda, you’re not 4,” said her mother. “You’re 3.”

“Mommy, I’m 4,” Matilda said.

Michelle Williams shook her head and winked at me, flashing three fingers.

Matilda wasn’t interested in arguing the point further. It was the day after Halloween, and she began talking about her party the previous night. She described her mermaid princess costume and the festivities at her house, and then asked, “What did you dress up as, Eliot?”

I felt my son press up against me, starting to become shy. At 2, he was not verbally adroit enough to keep up with a vivacious and inquisitive older girl like Matilda. I prodded him to answer, and at last he said, sheepishly, “A peanut.”

Perhaps sheepishly is the only way a person, even a small child, can admit to having appeared in public garbed as a peanut, but what can I say — my wife and I had figured that by the next Halloween we’d probably have to defer to his choice of costume, so for this year we might as well indulge ourselves by dressing him as Mr. Peanut.

Matilda had been a princess and my son a legume, and I was curious to see if Michelle Williams would react to the disparity in our respective levels of parental ambition. But then Matilda squealed as the server brought her food. “A bagel with butter,” she said, “is my favorite thing for breakfast. Mmm, bagels! What do you like to eat, Eliot?”

Now Eliot was clearly shrinking, but I urged him on, food usually being a reliable topic of conversation. At last, he said, “I eat nanas in the morning. And ... and I eat tummus for dinner.”

Michelle Williams looked up from her BlackBerry, and I explained that he ate bananas for breakfast and that he liked hummus at night. She smiled, and I understood why she gets to work in front of cameras.

Matilda heard a song she liked, and she started swaying in her seat. “I like to dance!” she exclaimed. “Dance with me, Eliot!”

Eliot loves to dance, but shyness had overcome him.

“Come on, Eliot,” I said. “Dance with Matilda.”

Nothing.

There’s an old Warner Brothers cartoon in which this guy finds a frog that, whenever the two are alone, struts around singing, “Everybody’s doing the Michigan Raaaaaaaaa-ag!” But whenever someone else shows up, all the frog does is sit like a lump, occasionally croaking.

I felt like that guy now. Ordinarily my son comports himself as if he’s the reincarnation of Sammy Davis Jr., but with Matilda Ledger, the trophy playmate of our neighborhood, he sat still as a Golem.

I admit I was aware of the stakes. After all, it’s easy to imagine that if Matilda and your child hit it off, you and your family might find yourselves having a play date with Matilda and her mother. Even for a non-enthusiast of play dates — and I would never put myself in that category — that might actually be interesting.

But Eliot wouldn’t budge, and soon Matilda became more interested in her bagel, ignoring him. Michelle Williams had long since refocused, absorbed in text messaging. I went back to my bagel and newspaper. I noticed, however, that Eliot was staring intently at Matilda as she ate. After a minute or so, he broke the silence.

“Nanas!” he exclaimed.

Matilda slowly turned her head toward him.

“I eat nanas in the morning,” Eliot said, but then Matilda just as slowly turned away, pursing her lips and ever so slightly shaking her head.

I knew that look and that move — every man does. Eliot had the girl’s attention. Eliot liked the girl’s attention. But Eliot didn’t know what to do with the girl’s attention, and so he had lost it. Now, he wanted her attention back, but didn’t know how to get it. So he reused the “A” material, the lively repartee that had clicked, the nanas in the morning. It was his best stuff, but it wasn’t working.

For the first time in his life, Eliot was getting the brush-off from an alluring female he hoped to impress, and he was confused. Suddenly, I felt all paternal and wanted to share some of the hard-won male insight I had acquired — “Son, play it cool,” I wanted to tell him. “Don’t try too hard, let her come to you ... let her come to you.”

But then he said (this time patting his chest for emphasis), “And I eat tummus for dinner!”

Matilda scarcely looked up from her bagel.

“Oh, sonny,” I thought, “Your cause is lost.”

If an iota of neurotic doubt had remained as to my son’s paternity, it was completely obliterated — without question, my son had inherited the Stern gene for savoir-faire. I can see why it might seem like a good idea to visit the sins of the father upon the son, but why, God, why also the nebbishness? I wanted to pick Eliot up and console him, though I wasn’t sure what “She’s just not that into you” might mean to a 2-year-old.

BEFORE I could do anything, however, the cafe owner popped out from behind the counter.

“Hey, kids, look at this,” he said in a spooky voice. Still in the Halloween spirit, he wore a tattered zombie costume out of which he started to pull wads of newspaper in a disturbing manner, all the while contorting his face in agonized expressions straight out of “Night of the Living Dead.”

Because Matilda was 3, her reaction was: “Ooh! Ha, ha, ha!”

Because Eliot was 2, his reaction was to contort his face in fear, burst into tears and cry very, very loudly.

Matilda said, “Mommy, Mommy — that baby is crying.”

The cafe owner said, “Eliot, I’m sorry.”

I said, “Just stop pulling the paper out of your jacket.”

Eliot, for his part, continued to wail.

My celebrity bagel breakfast was over. I scooped up my son, said my goodbyes and left the cafe. Though I felt bad that this encounter might have bruised his feelings, I could scarcely have imparted a sturdier lesson about amorous attraction, a lesson I had learned many times — first you have a little thrill, then a little fun, then a little disappointment, and then come the brain-eating zombies.

I took the hand of my sobbing boy and started home. That was when I had my flash of insight into the future of love. And it was this: The future of love will be very similar to its past.

Drawn to a Larger Scale

By ALEX WILLIAMS
April 14, 2010

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/15/fashion/15Close.html

(http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/04/15/fashion/15Close-span/15Close_CA0-articleLarge.jpg)
Scott Campbell, a tattoo artist, will have a gallery show of his fine-art work. His life has been a continuous line of adventure, starting when he was a teenager in the Louisiana bayou.

HOW did a 32-year-old college dropout from the bayou of Louisiana, with no formal training in art — well, to be frank, no training at all — end up with a one-man show in a New York gallery and a client list that includes Robert Downey Jr. and Orlando Bloom?

For Scott Campbell, it all started at a tattoo studio in the Lower Haight district of San Francisco. “I’m just the dirty kid who snuck in the back door,” said Mr. Campbell, who said that he got the bulk of his art education tattooing teenage gang members in San Francisco in the 1990s.

Indeed, as he sat in the Smile, a restaurant on Bond Street, with his friend Dan Colen, a fellow artist, and with his lank dirty-blond hair brushing the top of his collar and his ink-stained forearms peeking out of his shirt, Mr. Campbell looked like a kid in Salvation Army vintage who sells Minor Threat albums at Bleecker Bob’s — never mind that his button-down shirt was Loden Dager, that his jeans were from Earnest Sewn and that his lunky diver’s watch was a Rolex. (A family piece handed down to him by an uncle in the Navy Seals, Mr. Campbell explained).

And that tattoo career? It took off in 2005, four years after he moved to New York and opened his studio, Saved Tattoo, in the then-emerging neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

One day an impatient Australian came in and commissioned a small bird in flight on his left forearm. The next day, Mr. Campbell said, “Entertainment Tonight” came with cameras, grilling him on what kind of tattoo he had just given Heath Ledger. The two became friends — “the sweetest guy, so open,” he said of Mr. Ledger. “The third time I hung out with him, I had keys to his house.”

It became a pattern, as Mr. Campbell became something of a celebrity tattoo artist, charging as much as $300 an hour ($1,000 minimum) to ink customers like Courtney Love and Josh Hartnett. After Mr. Campbell tattooed three of Sting’s adult children, he said, the singer and his wife, Trudie Styler, put him up at their house in London when he was there for a gallery show in October (he said he paid Sting back by giving him a tattoo, a meditation labyrinth on his back). And he said he recently went gallery hopping with Marc Jacobs, who sports a tattoo of his two bull terriers on his shoulder, courtesy of Mr. Campbell. The nature of his craft, he said, helps to explain these friendships. “Tattooing is a very intimate exchange,” he said.

“You have your hands on someone, you’re communicating with them, and they’re very yielding,” he continued. “There’s no cool-guy factor, no barriers.”

IT’S easy to see why Mr. Campbell might have been welcomed into the inner circle of celebrity. He’s charming in a not-too-forced way, can fluidly swing the conversation from Greek art to the Dead Kennedys to motorcycles, and he has an appealing back story.

He grew up in rural Louisiana in a fishing village called Hermitage. “I hated it when I was a kid,” said Mr. Campbell, whose father owned a small oil-services company. As a teenager, he would order William S. Burroughs novels from New York and dream about the world beyond. “I felt like everything I was passionate about was something that was mail-order from somewhere else.”

His rebelliousness inspired him to get his first tattoo — a skull on his leg — at 15, to his mother’s horror. “When I was a kid, she sat me on her lap and said: ‘Scotty, you could murder, and I’d still be proud to call you my son. But if you get a tattoo, I’ll shoot you myself,’ ” he recalled.

Early on, Mr. Campbell toyed with the idea of a middle-class life. At the University of Texas he studied biochemistry and planned a career as a medical illustrator. Eventually, his restlessness took over. “I have the attention span of a gerbil,” he said. He dropped out, spent a few years in San Francisco, where he worked in that tattoo parlor, before bumming around Asia and Europe, where he tattooed for cash, and then landing in Williamsburg in 2001.

Inspired by the street sensibilities of artists (and tattoo clients) like Mr. Colen and Dash Snow, he dabbled in mixed-media art — United States currency (above) that he etches with a laser, for example — around 2004. The painter Michael Bevilacqua, a friend, encouraged him to exhibit his work in group shows, Mr. Campbell said. The work started to sell.

Last April, Mr. Campbell’s solo show at OHWOW, a gallery in Miami, sold out, said Al Moran, its director. It was evidence that Mr. Campbell had the stature needed to carry a solo show on April 29 at the gallery’s new space in Manhattan, on Crosby Street — its first since moving to the city. “All sorts of people were coming” to the Miami show, Mr. Moran said. “Tattoo kids were coming in, and museums were coming in.”

Mr. Campbell said he is nervous to show in New York. But added, philosophically, “If the art world shuns me, I can still do tattoos.”

Morning Heathens!

When I was in Florida, we were discussing Heath pics, a conversation started by Mandy's wallpaper on her lap top.

I tried to pull up my Photobucket account, but it kept freezing up Mandy's lap top.  I had described three pics I had in my PB, that I called "the lightbulb" series.

No one in the room could remember them, they thought they had never seen them.

So here they are.  The first two are watermarked, the third is not.

Thank you Clarissa for posting these articles.

There's a small piece of footage floating around on FB, which I hadn't seen before. It's only 56 sec.Terry Gilliam comments on Heath trying on verious costumes (and blue contacts!) for the Imaginarium.
It isn't on youtube (yet?), so I can only give you the link to the facebook page. You have to be logged on to FB in order to see ot. Sorry to all non-FB Heathens. In a few days, maybe we can find it on youtube.

   (Talking about the Matilda piece.)

   The video of Gilliam and Heath in the tryouts of costumes
    was a joy to behold.  It makes one feel like you are in a
    little old store that has hidden treasures.  And you find
    one way in the back under a shelf full of old tablecloths.
    Speaking from experience.  I have always been a flea
    market hunter.  You find the greatest things in the most

A youtube user named Kalaheela toyed a bit around with the above video. In the first part of their video, you see shots from the movie (Imaginarium of course) and some behind the scenes shots. Then they cut the above video into photos/screenshots; it's like viewing it in slow-motion.

Just wanted to see if anyone has seen this KIN commercial (it's some sort of phone-like device) with a dude that looks so much like Heath... the hair, the eyes, exactly the same, and trust me, I've studied those eyes quite a bit. The first time I saw it, I was freaking out. Keep an eye out for it and let me know...

And here's a picture to make this crazy post worth your while. I like the peace sign pin =)

Claims to be an accurate natal chart for Heath, but I'm guessing that the creator is guessing that Heath was born at 6am, and without the true birth time, it leaves a lot uninterpretable.

I just had a late lunch with my family, sitting around the kitchen table, chit-chatting about this and that, and having fun. Till "Shadow of the Day" from Linkin Park came on the radio.
Sh*t, it pretty much ruined the lightheartedness for me :(.

There are quite some songs that will never be the same again. This is one of them.


[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVGC5J33Eas[/youtube]


Shadows of the Day by Linkin Park

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

With cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay

Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you.

{{Chrissie}} 

I'm a huge fan of Linkin Park, have all their CD's and DVD's.  But I never associated that song with Heath.  Must have been hard for you, though.

BTW, I love that pic of you on the train looking out at the mountains.  You were beautiful.  I stare at it, and wonder what you were thinking at that exact moment?

Long as we're temporarily on the subject of Linkin Park songs, this is the one that reminds me of Heath the most.  It always sounded to me like something he would have said to Michelle.

leave out all the rest

i dreamed i was missing
you were so scared
but no one would listen
cause no one else cared
after my dreaming
i woke with this fear
what am i leaving
when i'm done here
so if you're asking me i want you to know

when my time comes
forget the wrong that i've done
help me leave behind some
reasons to be missed
don't resent me
and when you're feeling empty
keep me in your memory
leave out all the rest

leave out all the rest

don't be afraid
i've taken my beating
i've shared what i made
i'm strong on the surface
not all the way through
i've never been perfect
but neither have you
so if you're asking me i want you to know

forgetting
all the hurt inside you learned to hide so well
pretending
someone else can come and save me from myself

i can't be who you are

"The stripe is such a dynamic surface structure that it can only be covered at a run," writes Michel Pastoureau. "The stripe doesn't wait, doesn't stand still. It is in perpetual motion."



Now who  does that seem like, hmmmm??  ::)

Stripes Are Everywhere
Posted Friday, June 04, 2010 9:52 AM
By Troy Patterson

(http://img.slate.com/media/1/123125/2217477/2219539/2240618/2255769/100604_BB_stripeTN.jpg)

Left and right, everywhere you turn on the streets of New York, lines are running left to right. Style has cycled around such that shirts boasting horizontal stripes—boat-necked Breton shirts, most notably—are inescapable. Last month's Vogue  sanctified the trend with a spread of house favorites (including Ms. Moss, Mme. Alt, Sr. Picasso ... ) sporting the look, so we can expect it to go wide in a big way. In happening places, the print has already spread beyond close variations on the classic look to include cardigans, tube tops, tank dresses, maternity muumuus, and high-end baby diapers, and your pupils will soon be flicking at the print no matter where you live, unless you live in one of the very least fashion-conscious corners of our proud country, in which case I hope that you are fully enjoying either the fresh country air or the dank humidity of Capitol Hill.

Sure, why not? Capable of tingling the pupils at a hundred yards' distance, such shirts are bold but not loud, as eye-stopping as crosswalks. With shoppers eschewing plastic bags in favor of L.L. Bean totes, the nautical reference integrates the accessory, giving the wearer an air of the intrepid and also connoting a refined and active leisure (as opposed to lazy luxury). They can vibrate like op-art alerts, and they can seem to scroll hypnotically. "The stripe is such a dynamic surface structure that it can only be covered at a run," writes Michel Pastoureau. "The stripe doesn't wait, doesn't stand still. It is in perpetual motion."

Pastoureau, author of semiotic-studies bonbon titled The Devil's Cloth: A History of Stripes (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743453263?ie=UTF8&tag=slatmaga-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0743453263),  is a French scholar and archivist who has also written on the color blue, achromatic black, and the origins of heraldry. At heart a medievalist, he traces the line of the pattern's history as far back as the 13th century, when it began its run as a marker of outcasts—heretics, Jews, lepers, hangmen, whores, bastards, "cripples," serfs, and of course the archetypal jailbird. But as I once learned in a critical theory course just as my drowsy head jerked back to consciousness, social codes can reverse themselves while signs float like jetsam or something.

Pastoureau reports that naval stripes took off in England or Holland in the late 1700s as the mark of the seaman—"the simple crew member"—and spread to other countries. Eventually they made their way to the backs of gondoliers and other professionals and to those of men, women, and children frolicking at the seashore. Though The Devil's Cloth  fails to note that stripes entered the fashion canon by way of the House of Chanel, Pastoureau, like Vogue,  recognizes the importance of Picasso, "who never missed an opportunity to exhibit himself in stripes, above and below." In the author's view, the artist, dressing the part of grand avant-gardist, costumed himself as a rogue and a visionary, an "oddball zebra" consciously playing with the print's checkered past.

That's the only Alt I could think of, and was going to mention her, but I wasn't sure how many BetterMostians would remember her (she's 50) so  thought that might require more explanation than was worth it. Was/is Carol Alt known for wearing stripes?

The "Mme" appellation suggests this Alt is married and French.

I'm no fashionista, and I don't read Vogue.  I was going by the context of "house favorites".  However, I do remember Sr. Picasso.

Glad you liked it, Elle! It's part of my nabe, too. For ten years, from 1996-2006, I worked in an office on the NW corner of Madison and 60th, two doors down from Barneys New York (now that's  dangerou$!!!   ::) ) and Mr. Cunningham is still often (purposefully) loitering on that block, photographing the people (and their clothes) as they walk by.



I know this is a bit off track, but you (and others!) may also love this tidbit about the corner of 57th and 7th Avenue:

Roots
Home at Carnegie Hall
by Nick Paumgarten

....[Josef] Astor’s studio, with creaky wood floors, faces north; the indirect light, from a giant skylight, twenty feet overhead, is ideal for photography and painting. There is a balcony, with room for a bed, and a kitchenette. Last Wednesday, he’d arranged a dozen chairs—no one like the other—in a circle, in anticipation of a meeting, that evening, between some tenants, their lawyer (a woman named Ms. Boop), and local politicians, whose vaguely articulated sympathies they hoped to convert into tactical support. A Senegal parrot named Zoltan flew freely about the place. Astor ticked off the names of some of the studios’ former residents (Isadora Duncan, Agnes de Mille, Leonard Bernstein, Marlon Brando, Norman Mailer) and current ones (such as the ninety-five-year-old photographer Editta Sherman, known as the Duchess of Carnegie Hall, and the Times photographer Bill Cunningham, seen occasionally in the hall on his way to the showers) and evoked the days when the corridors were filled with the sounds of piano and clarinet....


Now back to Heath....it's a bit of a stretch, but I bet he would have liked skateboarding by, stopping and chatting with Bill Cunningham. For all I know, maybe he did!

Got a new book from the library this weekend entitled "Heath Ledger:  Living By Instinct" by author Ray Tedman.  Has anyone else seen this yet?  Has a lot of photos of Heath that I'd never seen before in a book or on this or other websites.  Also a biography and timeline of his films and some notable quotes, all of which were very interesting.  Might be worth checking out for all you Heathens.  I'm sure it's available at bookstores / Amazon, etc. as well.

I don't know if this is for real, but someone has posted a questionnaire about fan interest in Heath on the Heath Ledger IMDb forum.

Apparently Heath may have narrated (or partially narrated) a documentary about surfers called Sea of Darkness.  Anybody know anything about that?

And, according to IMDb, Heath was in an Australian kids' movie called Paws in 1997 as a character named Oberon.  The full movie is available on Hulu (also through a link on the IMDb page below). 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119870/

The name "Oberon" is a funny coincidence, since Merle Oberon's most famous part was in the 1939 version of Wuthering Heights, the filmed version of the book where Heath's name may have purportedly come from (Heathcliff).

Hm, I think I may have found something else new. 

After posting that last post about Wuthering Heights and Heathcliff above, the Kate Bush song "Wuthering Heights" started playing in my head - mostly the prominent refrain that starts out "Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy..."  So I decided to go over to YouTube and find a version to listen to.

I first heard that song in the early 90s, and I had thought it was pretty new at the time.  Nope.  At YouTube just now (and then further at Wikipedia), I learned that it was on Kate Bush's first album in 1978, which was one year before 1979, which, of course, [drum roll, please] was the year Heath was born.  So now that's where I think his parents got his name, from the Kate Bush song. 

And without further ado, the song, from 1978:

But wait, I found more!  :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_singles_in_Australia_during_the_1970s#1978

Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" was #1 in Australia for three weeks in 1978, from May 22nd through the week of June 5th.  And when was Heath conceived?  Yes, that's right, one month later, in July, 1978.

Going back to Paws, I've been watching it this evening, and it sucks, but you can skip the junk and find Heath in the following spots.  In the movie, he plays the Shakespeare character Oberon, in Midsummer Night's Dream.  Sometimes he delivers his lines off-camera, but it's distinctly his voice.  He definitely has a small part.

He first appears at 41:12.

That's nice, Chrissi!  :-*  Yes, it does take a while to get into -- it's written in a "framing device," and the frame isn't as compelling as the actual story. If you find your copy, try again, but give it a couple of chapters. It's sometimes called the greatest novel in the English language. And while some "great novels" can be pretty hard to get through, WH actually becomes pretty compelling after a while.

It's now on my vacation-reading list. Will look for it once more. The bad thing is, that we put about two thousand books unsorted into the baking house while renovating our living room last year, and still haven't put them back ::) :P.

I know it´s sometimes called the greatest novel, but I like to think of it as the most annoying novel in the English language. A beautiful lovestory for sure, but every genereration keep making the same mistakes over and over again until you pretty much can guess what happens next. Not a favorite of mine as you can tell. It´s to circular in its construct. Love the Laurence Oliver movie though. As far as the Bronte sisters go though, I think "Jane Eyre" is probably one of the best novels ever written and the Mr Rochester and Heathcliff characters share some characteristics as they are both very Byronic. I have read Jane Eyre twice and probably watched every movie adaption that´s been made :D

ooops, to bring this thread back to Heath!

one of my favorites

A baking house is a house where you bake in :).
On our property are four houses: main house, baking house, barn and a tiny one (only two rooms), which we call witch house. The main house is approx. 240 years old. In the past, the property has been a farm, a restaurant (well, think rather a tiny English pub than a real restaurant), a school, home for a group of district nurses - and a bakery. Not everything at once, obviously ;D.
The actual baking was not done in the main house, but in one of the other buildings: the baking house. The huge, professional oven is still in there. When we bought the property, everything from the bakery was still in there: dough machine, the baker's shovels, the bread forms, and so on. We use the baking house for storage now.


Cheers! :)

So have any of you Heathens checked out Heath in Paws yet?  Following the link below, you can go to it on Hulu, and then go to the two spots I've marked, and see his few seconds.  Would take four or five minutes total, probably, and it's worth it.

It was taken with/from The Masses, but I think it was in Mexico.
In the article, they talked about the guys from the Masses being in Marfa together, but I think that was after Heath's passing.

Here's the link to the article again: http://www.laweekly.com/2008-07-10/film-tv/port-in-the-storm/1 (http://www.laweekly.com/2008-07-10/film-tv/port-in-the-storm/1)

Found this in the article:

“Heath just kind of came in one day and said, ‘Let’s get an RV and go to Mexico,’” recounts Cline. “I said, ‘Heath, we have a company to run, and those are working days.’ And he said, ‘But it’s our company, and we can do whatever we want.’”

Over the next week, the dozen camped on the beach, surfed during the day and cooked and talked through the night. Recalls Cline: “It was free. We had only ever existed in L.A. together, and there was always a sort of nervous energy to Heath in the city. Every time he’d walk down the street, he’d get recognized, and he felt maybe a little restricted by that. [Mexico] was a place where nobody knew where the fuck he was, and it was very liberating for him. And I think it was liberating for all of us.”


I think the parts of the video of Heath with the camera and in front of the fire are from that trip.

Good morning Heathens :)

A friend of mine send me a pic of her BF in orange Pants. I told her that if a guy should ever wear orange pants, he must combine it with a plush jacket, black hoodie, grey tshirt, bright yellow vehicle and on top of all that a striped cap. For advanced colorfulness. And don't forget the ciggie for coolness ;) :laugh:.
Then I sent her these two pics ;D.

     Losing someone you  care about is the strangest thing.  The other night I was surfing the
youtube.  My husband was playing online poker, and searching the channels for something to
watch.  He said ''isn't this movie that one with that guy you liked so much?"  I looked up at the
tv and said, "yes thats the movie with Heath in it.  "The patriot."   He said, "thats what I thought."  Then I just started crying.  I was shocked, and surprised that I was still in that kind
of spot about it.  I thought I was over that.  I told him he could  "go ahead and watch it."  I was just listening to music anyhow.  He said "no I will find something else to watch."  It was
sweet that he was that concerned for my state.

Lovely pics, but the hurt never seems to go away. At the moment, I guess because of my personal life I cannot watch any Heath movies. In the same way I have had to remove the adorable pic of James when he was 2 from my screen saver montage.

Good morning Heathens :)

A theatre in Perth is named after Heath. The Heath Ledger Theatre.
That's nice. And sad.

Here's an article. Thanks to BayCity John, who posted this tidbit on FB.


Curtain to rise on State Theatre Centre of WA in January 2011


The highly anticipated State Theatre Centre of Western Australia will open in late January, Culture and the Arts Minister John Day announced today.
The official opening will take place on Thursday, January 27, followed by an opening matinee and evening performance on January 29 by artistic director Andrew Lewis.

The facility, which includes the 575-seat Heath Ledger Theatre, will be open to the public on January 30 and will host the Perth International Arts Festival as its first major event in February.

Mr Day said the opening would mark a new era for performing arts in WA, with the theatre set to be the most modern and up to date in Australia.

“It will provide a functional and inspiring venue for performers and audiences, and will also be a defining architectural landmark of the reinvigorated Perth Cultural Centre.”

No. And I simply can´t get it through my head that it has been three years already. Heath has been gone for three fucking years. To me it feels like yesterday. It´s all so strange. When I look at pictures of him, they look so..recent. I don´t know.

Another article on Heath in my daughter's teenage magazine, which she dutifully brought me. Sweet kid. :-*

The article itself was very shallow, they quoted a little bit from a recent interview with Michelle and repeated some basic facts; plus some nice pics. Guess that's all you can await from a teenage mag, and it's good that they brought a double page about Heath at all. :)

"These Days"
by Powderfinger

It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
and settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day

This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its demands
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Undignified and lame

This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

Soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes
To tie us down

That was played at his Perth memorial, wasn't it?  Thank you, Chrissi.

I thought I would bring back some of our happy memories.

RECLUSIVE supermodel Gemma Ward will return to the international spotlight this year when she makes her theatrical debut in Australia.
And ahead of her return to centre stage, the beauty has also opened up about her brief romance with actor Heath Ledger in the months before he died.

"I have taken a break from the media spotlight for the past few years and it was something spurred by Heath's death," she said. "(Heath and I) first met in New York and we were both struggling with things that I won't get into, and we bonded over that.

"I kind of met him at first and said, 'Listen my mum's living with me right now and I'm kind of going through a hard time and I'm not interested in having a serious relationship with somebody right now' and he was like, 'You know, um, let's just be there for each other through these hard times we're both going through'. And we developed a relationship and we started seeing each other."

I wonder if Terry Gilliam took it, since I'm guessing it was during The Brothers Grimm days.

Thanks to your question, I found a few more of the same photoshoot! :)

BTW, I got all but the first of those images from Andy Gott's website, which is worth checking out:

http://www.andygotts.com/ (http://www.andygotts.com/)


Some of his pics are too smooth for me. Some seem too deliberate "edge-y", as if the photographer tried too hard to be unorthodox. Some are really great. And the mix of all this is very interesting.

Chrissie, it'd have to be a toss-up with me between Heath, Matt, Colin, Rufus, Denzel, Brad, Redford, Morgan.  I could go on and on in my fantasies of hot actors knocking on my front door, LOL!

Hello Heath fans.

April 4th is Heath's birthday.  How about everyone finds their favorite pics of Heath to post that day?

And maybe, we each can wear something in honor of Heath that day?  Stripes, scarves, hats, something along those lines?

It's a quotation from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran:

"Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."

Hello Heath fans.

April 4th is Heath's birthday.  How about everyone finds their favorite pics of Heath to post that day?

And maybe, we each can wear something in honor of Heath that day?  Stripes, scarves, hats, something along those lines?


I have on a pink and brown horizontally striped tank top. Nice for a Spring day on the porch with my pooches, laptop, phone, new Blackberry,(thinking of Lynne) and Diet Coke.  Aussie Sue and I bought a few striped tanks while she was visiting us here in Spring Hill, Florida USA for a few weeks.  Aussie Rob was here too..  He and my Bob went for a ride up through FL, GA, and SC.  I have the best memories of Brokie gatherings. Happy Birthday Heath

Thanks for sharing, makes me feel close to you all, knowing that you are wearing different kinds of striped today too. I put on my yin/yang necklace this morning and my striped scarf. It's not something out of the ordinary though. Heath has become part of my everyday wardrobe.

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I wanna be
In the warmhold of your Loving mind.

To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand,
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky
I wanna hide a while
Behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing,
'T would make me sing,
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near
To kill my fears,
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standing in your heart
Is where I wanna be
And I long to be,
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
                           
                            Donovan

If you want to change the real size of an image, you have to do this on photobucket or on your computer, you can't do it on BetterMost.
But you can change the size in which the image appears! :)

Just limit the size in the BBcode. Normally, the code for a pic looks like this (I'm adding an extra space directly after the first square bracket, so you can see it):

[ IMG]http://blahblah.something[/IMG]

If you want it smaller, put a limit to height or width. Looks like this:

[ IMG width=300]http://blahblah.something[/IMG]

or

[ IMG height=300]http://blahblah.something[/IMG]


The smaller the number, the smaller the pic. The above image in your quote is 300. The same picture in your original post is (now) 600.

Hope this helps. :)

This is eerie. Not what you posted, but that I had the exact same thought this morning.
Coming from another train of thought, I got thinking about differences (look-wise) between people in their late twenties and people approaching their mid thirties. And then I thought of Heath. If you could see the age difference of three years?
But of course, Heath isn't getting any older. :(



But Michael Stipe - man, he does have that 'old man look' now. :-\

Depending on further information about Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life, which just got the Palme D'Or at Cannes, there is a reasonable chance I may see it at some point.  Whereas if Heath had been in it, as was a definite at one point, it would have been a maddening waiting game it it was released.  And after I do see it, it will be impossible for me not to try to imagine how it might have been transformed...

Does anybody know which part Heath had been cast to play in Terence Malik's "The Tree of Life" which has recently been awarded the Palme D'Or at Cannes? Apparently, as H. Andrew's YouTube clip shows, he was scheduled to start filming  it after completing "The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus". Of course, that was no to be, but I find it pleasing to think of him as being part of that film's success.

The answer, apparently, is Mr. O'Brien, the part played by Brad Pitt. I'll no doubt bear that in mind when I get to see the movie.

Something strange occurred to me the other night while I was trying to fall asleep.  When they announced on the 6 o'clock news Jan 22, 2008 that Heath had passed away, I was over taking care of my mother and had made lasagna and sides for our dinner.  The odd part that didn't occur to me until now is that when I stood up at the announcement and dropped my tray and started screaming 'No' over and over again, I had been nibbling on TEXAS toast, dipped in the RANCH dressing of my salad.

I don't know where exactly to post this... so I thought of this thread.  Lately, here in Pittsburgh there's a lot of talk about the filming of the new Batman movie (casting calls, the arrival of the Batmobile in town!  :o  The Batmobile story was actually on the local news tonight), and of course all I can think of is Heath whenever that topic comes up.

It feels so strange to have had Jake and Anne film a movie here not too long ago, and now the new Batman movie.  It's like aspects of BBM are sort of coming to visit me in town.

I don't know where exactly to post this... so I thought of this thread.  Lately, here in Pittsburgh there's a lot of talk about the filming of the new Batman movie (casting calls, the arrival of the Batmobile in town!  :o  The Batmobile story was actually on the local news tonight), and of course all I can think of is Heath whenever that topic comes up.


Aww... :)

It feels so strange to have had Jake and Anne film a movie here not too long ago, and now the new Batman movie.  It's like aspects of BBM are sort of coming to visit me in town.


That's a nice thought and such a lovely way to put it. :) :) :)

Thanks Chrissi. :)

So, I'm back again to ask all you Heathens for advice about finding photos that you all think show Heath's tattoos the best/ most clearly.  This thread is so huge, it would take forever to go through the whole thing to find good examples.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I haven't been on here in quite a while, but I've been missing Heath a lot lately and thought it'd be cathartic to post here.

I've been missing Heath so much lately. It seemed random, but I guess it's because of all this talk of Amy Winehouse dying so young. I'm not usually too affected by celebrity deaths, but Heath's hit me so hard because it seemed out of nowhere. I know it makes people angry, but seriously, I could not manage to be surprised about Amy Winehouse. Actually, I was more shocked to hear the rumor about Hugh Hefner dying a week or two ago and he's like three times her age, so that's not right.

I vividly remember my sister texting me about Heath while I was in class and my jaw just dropped. The only thing I could think about were all those other celebrities out there actively abusing themselves and not contributing all that much to their art, why couldn't it have been one of them. I know that sounds mean, but it's all I could think in the moment.

I hate that Heath gets lumped in with all the "drug abusers" when at the time he was just sick and suffering from insomnia. All he wanted to do was find peace and rest and I guess he did, but it isn't the same to me as Amy Winehouse or these other people. He had more to do, I know that he wouldn't purposely leave his daughter or his work.

He seemed like such a gentle soul to me and maybe that's why I connected with him more than any other celebrity. People say it's stupid to be that affected by the death of someone you've never even known, but I can't agree. Actors, good ones, like Heath, do touch us in a way that is very real and I don't see what's wrong with grieving the loss of that kind of talent. So, in conclusion, still thinking of you, Heath. RIP.

Carolina, thanks for saying what I feel and what I'm sure everyone here feels about Heath.  It's true that Amy Winehouse's passing has brought him to mind more often lately.  I'll always miss him and regret what might have been.

I still can't believe the new Dark Knight movie is filmming here. Today there was a big press conference with Nolan and the actors. And, a friend of mine saw a Gotham cab across the street from her work.   Also still can't believe how many tangentially related films have been made in Pittsburgh in the last few years.

Still looking for good pics of Heath's tattoos. Thanks in advance to Heathens with a better knowledge of Heath photos than me. :)

Thanks Lee!  Yes, it looks like it... but he clearly has others there too above the dragonfly.  I'm in the midst of telling a friend of mine in Pittsburgh about various aspects of Heath because of the Dark Knight stuff going on here.  And, the tattoos became a subject of discussion.

We're going to have a Dark Knight viewing session tomorrow.  The filming going on here in town is making me have a renewed sense of nostalgia for Heath (combined with the major fact that I watched BBM again recently).

Believe it or not, today I watched Two Hands for the first time. I checked for this movie long ago, but it wasn't available in Germany and I didn't press the matter (there's always ways...). I liked that there was still something with Heath which I hadn't seen.
Meanwhile it is available and hubby gave it to me. I kept it for two weeks before I finally watched it today.


********Spoilers********






Anyway, my oldest and I wanted to watch it together, and my middle child (13 years old) was in the same room. Thinking the movie is rated FSK 12 (=PG-13), I let her watch it with us. It was a quirky and oddly funny movie - that is until the moment the boy gets hit by the car. Whoa! All three of us gasped, we were pretty shocked, seriously.
I checked the DVD cover again and saw it's rated FSK 16 (rated R for the US). Sheee-it. I never should have let my middle child watch it! Parental fail, ack. I sent her out of the room then.


The movie turned back to be quirky and enjoyable for the most part. All in all I liked it. But that one scene was a real shocker. :-\

I got a poster with Heath as the Joker and "Why so serious?" for my birthday. 8)

Gonna watch it again soon. My oldest daughter is almost 16 and thus old enough for it. She likes Heath, and happily watches any Heath movie with me.  Good girl. :)


I just checked the rating of TDK. In Germany, it's rated FSK 16, meaning you have to be 16 or older to see it. In the US it's rated PG-13!
In contrast, BBM is rated 12 in Germany, but rated R in the US.

It's been four years now and I'm not even sure if it gets easier...
Every now and again, when I'm in the theatre watching a movie,
I wonder if that role or that character
would not have been better portrayed by Heath, if he were still alive.
It's terribly upsetting and still pretty sad..

I am overwhelmed, positively astounded that I grieve so much for him. It changed my life-probably because he was such a big part of something else that changed my life and anchored one of the happiest times in my memory.

I cannot express my longing for him, for the time when he was here and I was anchored. He reminds me you never know how much you may mean to someone so be good to yourself.

Hey Janice, long time no see!

Time heals. I am nowhere near the sobbing mess that I was in 2008-time does a pretty good job of distancing you. He was just the start of some heavy losses for me in the last few years and it all settled in grief over him. Mostly he and I have made our peace, mostly.

In the film "50/50" starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, there's a moment at the 1:24 mark where JGL is getting out of his buddy Kyle's (Seth Rogen) car to go into the hospital for surgery to remove a tumor.  As he's exiting the passenger side of the car and leaning back in to talk to Kyle, he has a wooly striped cap on, and there's several seconds where I swear Heath came back to life.  Does anyone know how to find those few seconds on the Internet somehow and post it?  Heath fans will know exactly the seconds that I'm talking about.  If not, check it out and be sure to pay attention at the 1:24 mark.  I cried like a baby.

(((Many)))

I have several movies with JGL in them. I like the guy, I'd like to watch his movies. But in the end, I never do.

I once came into the living room when hubby was checking movies to see if they had recored correctly. I walked in on a scene with JGL in a car by night. That was pretty much a shock because for a split second, I also thought it was Heath. :-\

I almost feel for the guy. He seems to be a real nice person, and a good actor. I think he deserves to be appreciated for himself, that's another reason why I put off watching his movies.

Hi Chrissie, I only have a dial-up connection, not high-speed, so I can't view YouTube videos.  But I've seen before on here that other people can go to some site and pull up exact still frames of scenes from movies.  I just can't remember what that doggone site is.  In a few of his films, he actually manages to look a lot less like Heath.  What are the movies you have?  I can probably tell you if they're safe to watch. >:(

I know it's been a while since I've posted here.  I thought I'd share some Heath pics I just discovered today


John Caglione Jr was the makeup artist on TDK.   He released these photos of Heath as the Joker.  They were taken on the last da of shooting.

Why so serious? ;)

I find the character of the Joker totally fascinating. Hilarious, also a bit creepy, batshit crazy, sad, evil and a dozen other things. But despite being a murderous maniac, I like that funny part of him, can't help it.

Okay, I finally figured out a way to show you Heathens this unbelievably eerie freeze-frame of JGL from the film 50/50.  My technologically-challenged self had been pondering how to do this for weeks, and I finally cracked it today.  I rented the movie again from Redbox, and at the 1 hr 24 min mark, I went forward and back at 1/8th speed until I finally got the image where he's crinkling his forehead just the tiniest bit, and I took my laptop with the webcam that I've never used in the two years I've had it, and I held it in my hands in front of the TV, and snapped a photo of that paused split second.  Then I emailed it to myself, and saved the jpg file to My Pictures, and have attached it via the Reply Additional Options.  Two of the folks over on the JGL thread thought it was Heath straight away.  Gives me chills looking at it.

Thanks Chrissie and Meryl!  I wonder if JGL has even seen enough of Heath's work over the years, to appreciate the fact that sometimes he's just the"spittin' image" of our boy...

Guess it's still too soon for someone in Hollywood to propose a made-for-TV movie about Heath.  But I bet we can guess who the producers will approach first for the starring role.  ;)

The resemblance is certainly uncanny, as I've always thought so. Also, James Franco occasionally gives off Heath vibes for me. But then again, I tend to see Heath mannerisms in a lot of people.  ;) I'll say to myself, oh that was a Heath shrug, or a Heath grimace, or a Heath glance....

JGL would be perfect, looks-wise, but he was only about 2 years younger than Heath when he passed.  :-\ But then again Heath never did look his age

   I just watched  "Angels in the Outfield,"  last night.  It had Danny Glover as the coach of the Anaheim Angels.  The story if you don't know it.  Is about this kid that sees angels, and they help the team to go from the bottom of the league, to the finals in the division. 
   It was kind of cute, and very predictable, but the reason I kept watching it was;  the kid was played By Joseph Gordon Levitt.  He was probably only ten years old.  If he was that.  I just think he looks the same as now.  Adorable little guy.

   I had never seen it before.  It just never appealed to me.  I was only having the tv on in the background, as I was online, and listening to the radio.  I happened to look up, and saw JGL.  Of course then I had to watch it.  I love him so
much.  I think he is so talented.  Even then he was great..

    He is the closest thing to Heath we have these days.

                                  Happy Heath's Birthday to all who loved him

Looking thru my Heath scrapbook, came across a 2008 article in Variety:

"After Ledger's death in January, his penultimate performance (with Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" still to come) will be viewed with both tremendous excitement and unavoidable sadness.  It's a tribute to Ledger's indelible work that he makes the viewer entirely forget the actor behind the cracked  white makeup and blood-red rictus grin, so complete and frightening is his immersion in the role.  With all due respect to the enjoyable camp buffoonery of past Jokers like Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson, Ledger makes them look like -- well, clowns."

Christian Bale teary over Ledger footage

Monday, 4 June 2012


Christian Bale broke down after watching footage of his late friend Heath Ledger at the MTV Movie Awards.

The actor visibly struggled to hold back tears when a montage of clips from the first two Batman movies showed the tragic actor in his role as The Joker at last night's ceremony.

Christian has portrayed the caped crusader in all of the three Christopher Nolan movies and struck up a friendship with Ledger on the set of the second instalment The Dark Knight.

Christian was on stage to present the movie montage alongside Gary Oldman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt when he was overwhelmed by emotion. "It's great to see Heath Ledger up there," he said tearfully after the clips were aired.

The 38-year-old Golden Globe winner then stepped away from the microphone and lowered his head to lead a moment of silence for his late friend.

Oscar winner Heath was found dead in his hotel room after a suspected overdose of subscription medication in January 2008.

"Heath was infectious; his death makes me angry because I know our friendship would have blossomed had he not died," Bale said at the time.

Heath, and missing Heath, seems to be in the air this week. A couple of days ago I was reviewing the new posts on the main page and for some reason the pics of him at the bottom of the page just caused me to break down in tears. That feeling has been with me for the past few days-don't know why.

Post by: Penthesilea on June 04, 2012, 03:36:32 pm
Aww, (((Roux))), my sweet Heathen. :-*

Not only this week, last week also. Must be something in the air. I surfed the net, looking for a specific pic of Heath, and hopped from site to side, clicking links. Suddenly I found myself on a page from a British newspaper with an obituary, from back in 08.
Didn't make it through the whole thing. When the tears came back (after a long time of not crying over Heath), I clicked away from the article.
I don't read struff from back then. Also never reread what was written here on BM, back then. I'm happy to know everything is still here, but I don't revisit.

   He comes back at us in the most unusual ways.  At least he does to me.  I went the other night to see the new Snow White and the Huntsman movie.  I like Charlese Theron a great deal, and wanted to see her in that movie.  She talked a great deal about the filming of it.  Mentioning the co-stars and other features of the movie.  It peaked my interest and I went to see it.
  I found myself having to get hold of myself, in order to not cry.  The co-star Chris Hemsworth favors Heath so much, it was difficult at first not to think of hiim as Heath.  I really was astonished at how much he looks like him...He is so handsome and stunning as Heath was.  He also commands the screen while on it.  I don't really care particularly for Ms.  Stewart.  I think she kind of has a hard look to her, that keeps her from being as pretty as some have claimed.  In this movie it served her well however.  She had to play a hard ass female.  Sos she was good..

Christian Bale: Ledger loved Bat bike

Wednesday, 11 July 2012


Christian Bale shared a mutual enjoyment for the Batcycle with the late Heath Ledger.

The star of the Batman franchise has recalled his memories of what it was like driving the superhero's vehicles on set. Although he never got the chance to "fly the Bat" himself, Bale shared in former Ledger's enjoyment of the "incredible bike". The late actor portrayed The Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight.

"I never got to fly the bat but it was a hell of a thrill just to sit on it, it's an incredible bike" he recalled to radio show hosts Kyle and Jackie O.

"My compatriot Heath enjoyed that too. He never got to do it in the movie, but a couple of times in the outtakes he got the chance to do so".

Bale went on to discuss his other memories of late Australian actor Ledger. The star died in January 2008, before he could complete the series of Batman films.

"I have absolutely wonderful memories [of him]," Bale said. "I'm very proud I got to know him as a friend".

Bale continued with an emotional summary of the legacy left by Ledger.

"He is as much a part of The Dark Knight Rises as he was The Dark Knight," he insisted. "I see it as one continuous movie. He creates a wonderful portrayal and that will always be remembered. I am very proud to have been part of it."Read more: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/news/christian-bale-ledger-loved-bat-bike-16183720.html#ixzz20K0yhuNk

Headless remains of iconic Australian outlaw Ned Kelly to finally be laid to rest

By Thuy Ong, Reuters

SYDNEY -- The remains of Australia's most famous outlaw, Ned Kelly, are finally to be laid to rest, 132 years after he was hanged for murder.

Kelly's descendants, who received his remains after they were exhumed from a mass prison grave, said on Wednesday they would hold a private church memorial service on Friday before the burial in an unmarked grave on Sunday.

The homemade armor and helmet Kelly wore during his last violent shootout with police and his reported final words before he was hanged in Melbourne jail on Nov. 11, 1880 -- "such is life" -- helped make him an iconic figure in Australian history.
 

His family, the Kelly Gang, became a symbol for social tensions between poor Irish settlers and the wealthy establishment at the time, and Kelly himself became a folk hero to many for standing up to the Anglo-Australian ruling class.


Kelly's descendants said the private farewells were in keeping with the outlaw's requests.

"The descendants of the Kelly family wish to give effect to Ned Kelly's last wish and that he now be buried in consecrated ground with only his family in attendance in order to ensure a private, respectful and dignified funeral," the family said in a statement.

"The family wish for their privacy to be respected so that they may farewell a very much loved member of their family,” they added.

One Australian media outlet reported that Kelly will be buried at Greta, near Glenrowan, north-east of Victoria, where his mother is buried in an unmarked grave.

Kelly's remains have made a circuitous journey to their final resting place.


They were first buried in a mass grave at Melbourne jail. When that closed in 1929, Kelly's bones were exhumed and reburied in another mass grave at the newer Pentridge Prison.

All the bones buried in Pentridge yard were exhumed in 2009 and Kelly's skeleton was positively identified in 2011 by scientists after DNA tests against a descendant. The Victoria state government said in August it would return the skeleton to the family.

Kelly's skull remains missing. It was believed to have been separated from his skeleton during the transfer.

His life story inspired the novel "True History of the Kelly Gang" by author Peter Carey, which won the 2001 Booker Prize, and the late actor Heath Ledger played him in a 2003 movie.

Dont know if this will work or not.....I just found this video clip of Heath when he was in an Australian Soapie called Home and Away.......if you move the timeline to 1998...you will see a caption "Scott takes advantage of naive Sally"...click on the box and watch the video of one of Heath's earliest tv roles......


http://au.tv.yahoo.com/home-and-away/timeline/


If you look throught the timeline, you will also see videos of other Australian actors in early roles, before they made it big overseas.....Guy Pearce, Melissa George, Julian McMahon, Danni Minogue, Isla Fisher, Ryan Kwanten, Chris Hemsworth, and a young Leyton Hewitt in a scene with his wife to be Bec (Cartwright) Hewitt.....

Thanks for this, Sue.  Even at that early stage of his career, I can see the Heath of Brokeback.  He was a real natural.  8)

 From MSN this morning:

Heath Ledger scholarship gives Australian actor's career a boost

June 13, 2013, 8:36 AM EST
WENN

Australian actor James Mackay is a step closer to Hollywood after he was named the recipient of the 2013 Heath Ledger Scholarship Award on Wednesday.

The fund was set up by the Australians in Film organization in Los Angeles in memory of the late actor following his death in 2008. Mackay, who appeared in Guillermo del Toro's 2010 horror movie "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," beat out competition from 15 other actors to win the award, which includes return flights from Australia to America, a year of acting classes at a renowned theatre school in Los Angeles and $10,000 in cash.

The 28 year old was handed the honor at a dinner in L.A. on Wednesday night, following in the footsteps of previous recipients including "Dark Shadows" star Bella Heathcote and actor Ryan Corr, who is set to star in the new "Wolf Creek" sequel.

Ledger's father Kim said, "Making a start in entertainment can be a tough and unforgiving business in any country. I hope continuing this award, with its consequential connections, offers the final recipient a little extra support in their pathway to success."

I'm watching a documentary as I'm writing this. Just waiting for the buffering, so I thought I'd hop in here and share the link with you.

It's a documentary series called "Too Young to Die" and one part is about Heath. I'm afraid it's only in German, but the interviews are of course in English, even though a German translation audio track is layered over them.
They don't share anything particularly new, but it's well-made and presented in a calm, personable way. I recommend it.

I've had this documentary recored for 1.5 years, but never could bring myself to actually watch it. Today I caught the last 10 minutes of it and then went directly on to see the whole thing. I'm glad I did (still doing, actually).

It's watchable online, stored in the networks "Mediathek". I think they store all their programs for one week there. So the link should be good for one week, but don't sue me if it's only online for a couple of days. If you're interested, you might want to be quick with watching.

Here's the link:

I sure wish we could see Heath in his mid-thirties up on the big screen, or directing a movie or whatever opportunities he would have chosen.

Sharing some pics I collected over the last year and am pretty sure I haven't posted earlier.

Six years, damn. 

Thanks for the photos, Chrissi.

I recall it was also a Tuesday, in 2008.  I remember so clearly seeing the news on the BM banner that afternoon.

Last week, I came across The Queen's Gambit and remember hearing that Heath might direct it, with Ellen Page.  What a great film that could have been.  Heath surely would have found a way to convey the spirit and intensity of chess to non-players. 

So many "what ifs".  But I'm glad for what was.

Heath Ledger: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

Alex Leadbeater

Who know’s where Heath Ledger could have been now. One of the most promising actors of modern Hollywood, his career, which had seen him work with some of the biggest actors and directors in the business, was tragically cut short when he accidentally overdosed on prescription medication. Given the direction his career was taking at the time of his death it’s conceivable he could have become one of the all time greats.

Rising up through Australian TV (although eschewing the usual stint on Neighbours), Ledger’s star rocketed high in the early-naughties with the actor quickly becoming a dependable leading man. Mixing critically lauded turns with more mainstream fare that saw him show off his charisma and good looks, Heath found himself increasingly well revered.

The actor’s posthumous win of Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards the year after his death is one of the most emotionally wrought in the history of the ceremony, with the Kodak Theatre falling silent as his family paid tribute to the star. It serves as testament to the respect Ledger had amongst the acting community.

In tribute to the great actor, this week our 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked segment turns its eye at the work of the late Heath Ledger.

I just went through the beginnings of this thread. What fun! O0
I like how we all were so un-knowing and not computer-savvy. :laugh: Teaching each other how to post pics, some other technical questions, lots of photos that never showed up, or only showed for some people but not for others, etc.
And lots and lots photos of a very young Heath. To think he would be 36 today is somehow perplexing. I'd so love to see a mature Heath, going on forty.

Here are some reposts from those early times

Just came home from a cross-country US trip with Monika. We had two side-trips to Canada and also visited Fort MacLeoud, where some scenes of BBM were shot and where the crew stayed for a while in a motel.
I stumbled upon the location of a photoshooting of Heath! :D

Here's the photos:

It's a Chinese restaurant and a bar, the Midnight Lounge.
It's located diagonal across on the same corner as the Red Coat Inn, where the crew stayed during part of the filming.
I sat in front of our motel room for a cigarette and then it just hit me. Hey, I've seen this wall before. There's a photo of Heath right there. :D

We both remarked that we liked the sign and obviously a photographer and maybe even Heath though the same.

Scene Analysis: Brokeback Mountain

Today marks the fifth anniversary of Heath Ledger's death, so what better way to honour him than to revisit perhaps his greatest moment as a screen actor, and to remember, in my humble opinion, one of the best and most moving cinematic performances of recent times.

The scene in question from Brokeback Mountain, marks the final, quiet moments of main character Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) as he goes about his daily business in his trailer home. The sequence is in essence a summation of the ultimate tragedy and ruination Ennis finds himself in by the story's close, although crucially it also locates the grace Ennis finds in his submission to quietly living out his remaining days in a form of worship to his lost love. Ennis may have ended the narrative in a materially weak position as a poor, "unsuccessful" man, but the film accords him the status of moral nobility.

Ennis is a man now well into his middle-aged years, he even has a teenage daughter, and much like with Orson Welles in the great Citizen Kane, there is a knowing power/poignancy in bearing witness to the lifetime ageing of the central character through the film (it helps that both Ledger?s and Welles? are remarkably virtuoso performances too). Of course, our conscious selves know it's a twenty-something Heath Ledger, but the part of us that suspends our disbelief each time we enter the cinema, is moved by following Ennis every step of the way, through the years, as he fades away in the melancholic undertow of his thwarted affair with Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal).

Six years, damn. 

Thanks for the photos, Chrissi.

I recall it was also a Tuesday, in 2008.  I remember so clearly seeing the news on the BM banner that afternoon.

Last week, I came across The Queen's Gambit and remember hearing that Heath might direct it, with Ellen Page.  What a great film that could have been.  Heath surely would have found a way to convey the spirit and intensity of chess to non-players. 

So many "what ifs".  But I'm glad for what was.

All these years later, I am watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. 

The acting is superb. But, I can't help thinking how Heath, who wanted to direct this, a chess wiz himself, would have found a way to make chess fascinating in a unique visual way.  Much better than the "chess pieces hanging from the ceiling" that is in this miniseries.  Oy.  Also, to think that Ellen Paige would have been perfect for the role of Beth (before his transition of course).  We'll never know...  Who do you think should have played the janitor who taught her?
