Heath Ledger Film Festival - Saturday Events

I think that this is a great idea even if not everyone is able to watch at 2pm EST. Hopefully all of us will get to watch at some point during the weekend and this brings light to Heath's many movies. And then we can chat about the movie. Definitely do not give up.

I'm certainly not giving up watching the designated films. Just the 2:00PM thing. It's an awkward time anyway, right in the middle of the afternoon, plus the last two Saturdays have been beautifully sunny which made it a shame to stay indoors. I'll watch The Patriot next week for sure, even though it's my least favourite Heath performance in my second least favourite Heath film, the first being The Order/Sin Eater. I'm not looking forward to watching that again, lol!

I have never seen The Patriot so I am looking forward to watching it for the first time. I have to say honestly, though, when Monster's Ball comes up on the schedule, I may skip watching that again. That one, for me, was definitely a "once is enough" movie and knowing what happens to Heath's character--I can't watch that right now.

Watching the movie again was very bittersweet. I do seem to enjoy it more with each viewing though, such a cute and very witty film. Apart from the mediocre soundtrack, it's aging quite well. A few other thoughts:
1- The scene with Kat & Patrick in the hay at the end of the paint-ball scene totally reminded me of Ennis & Alma at the end of the tobogganing scene in BbM.

Yes, absolutely.
--- Quote ---2- For such a serious & politically aware feminist, Kat's taste in music was rather shallow and top 40-ish wasn't it? Cruel to be kind...?!
--- End quote ---
Hahahaha, true.!
--- Quote ---3- Cameron's friend Michael looked strangely middle-aged for a highschool student I thought. (The way Jonah Hill did in Superbad.) The actor actually looks younger (and way better) today, lol!
--- End quote ---
I thought all the male characters were sort of uneven in the way they looked for their ages. Heath looked (and acted) a bit mature for a high school student...which was fine with me, since I thought he was as sexy as the day is long but if we are critiquing on the basis of realism...The female characters came off better, overall, age-wise, imho.
--- Quote ---4- This is total nitpicking but in the pedal boat scene Kat & Patrick are pedalling at different speeds and that's not possible with a single axle pedal boat. ;-)

True!
--- Quote ---5- I just love Allison Janney! "Now scoot!"
--- End quote ---
And she writes slash! LOL. Well, not slash, technically (it wasn't m/m) but she was writing an erotic romance. I laughed at that!

Okay folks, up next, Heath's breakout role in 'The Patriot' next Saturday. If you folks would like to have an online chat session during or after the film, we can do that on our computers! I wasn't sure people wanted to go for that but I would be glad to join chat for the film time.

I should be able to watch this one next weekend!
