Interesting find, Elle.  I guess that's one way of working out your grief.  But that doesn't mean I'm up to watching it.  :(

And I guess I'm more cynical than you are :-\. I think it would be just another way to cash in on a tragedy.

The guy doesn't speak with an Australian accent.

No. Though to be honest, other than that he's not a terrible Heath, if you can say that about a guy who really doesn't look or sound at all like Heath playing Heath. Still, there's some kind of faint similarity there.

Is the older guy supposed to be Jack Nicholson? No similarity there whatsoever, but I thought I heard "Heath" call him "Jack," and then there was a sort of lecture on drugs and lifestyle.

It's like this is the filmed version of that Esquire piece.  :P

The Esquire piece (or I should say the things I read about the Esquire piece) troubled me.  The idea that someone would kind of take it to another level troubles me even more.  I share Chrissi's cynicism.  In both cases, I still ask myself, "What's the point?"

I think you are right.  That was the name of the piece - wasn't it? 

Ack.  Ugh.  Feh.
