Might this cheer you up a little? Some mad preacher is going to say it's God's wrath for sympathetically portraying a ho mo sexual...

we came here originally crying, trying desperately to make sense of what we had just seen on screen.....and found a community of the like-minded, of the fine, good people of this world......and now we come again crying, seeking solace in our far-flung community, world-wide actually......James Dean, River Phoenix, and now Heath Ledger......the gods giveth, the gods taketh away.....whether suicide, or drug overdose....doesn't matter really....he is gone......and we mourn....oh how we mourn......and will continue to mourn....the characters, the roles he could've had, would have created....all lost now......Batman is a must see now.....tho not as we imagined it.....i prefer to remember him as Cassanova, which i saw after BBM......so carefree, so light, so lovely....so having fun.....oh my golden boy, yu have broken my heart.

I just got the news on-line in Korea here...and  I'm sitting here in shocked tears....   I can hardly believe it.   It feels much like Jack dying in the movie only this it true life.  I know everyone will be terribly upset today and for a good while we will feel a great sadness.  Different scenes from Brokeback Mt keep appearing and disappearing in my mind.  I'm so sad and even if I tell myself to be thankful for a superb actor to have played a role that gave our community such a great gift, I can't feel anything today but grief.  I hope to see you here my friends, we need each other now.

It doesn't cheer me, and if any preacher or lay person were take a shot like that by saying such a stupid thing they would be so off the mark concerning the Divine that the best thing to say in reply would be...  "We're tired of your dumb ass missin'!"  Then send them some pics of what love can look like just to excite them!   If I keep such images in my mind today, they help soften the sadness somewhat. ..

Don't know if I am posting in the right place, but a report says that the death was accidental, and that Heath was suffering from pneumonia at the time.
"yet he is suffused with a sense of pleasure because Jack Twist was in his dream"

Really? If this is true, I'd be hurting less. He took those pills then, just to be able to sleep a little...

Still, so sad.
