[lostinemotion]

I don't know if i'm allowed to post this/if it has already been posted

But a Christian anti-gay group have decided 'Heath Ledger is now in hell' because of his role in Brokeback Mountain and plan to protest over it at his funeral

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/19627377.html

This is so infuriating. I am Christian myself, but telling other people how you think they should live their lives is just wrong. I hope his death teaches us a) that the media have gone too celebrity crazy b) gay people should not be discriminated against

I respect if you want to delete this post mods, but i am genuine in what i mean

This must be a joke

 

[colourmefashion]

its terrible isnt it?

 

[candysweet21]

I was shocked when I heard the news, so where all of my friends. We couldn't believe it!
such a tragic and untimely death! He was so young and had a lot more to accomplish.
R.I.P Heath!

So so sad. I haven't stop thinking about it at work all day and found myself on the verge of tears. It's amazing how many people he touched.

this song just came on the radio and i can only imagine, it's how michelle is feeling:
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion--
is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after--

sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
the second hand unwinds

chorus:
if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time

after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows--you're wondering
if I'm OK
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time--

chorus:
if you're lost...

you said go slow--
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds--

chorus:
if you're lost...
...time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time

This must be a joke

it's sick

 

[Les_Sucettes]

that poster thing is absolutely disgusting.
i cant believe people would stoop that low and do this.

he deserves his peace. it's not like he was actually gay, it was a role for a movie.
therefore, its not a real sin.
.

Even if he was , that would not be a sin either. Is there such a thing as sin?

This people are disgusting.

Its makes me feel good to hear these sweet stories but at the same time it saddens me to know that such a kind person is gone from the world at a time when we need more people like him the most.

 

[TheKiwi]

When do all the weekly mags (People, Star, etc) come out? I want to buy all of them and save them. I'm just not looking forward to the inevitable photos of him in the body bag.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- An autopsy Wednesday morning on actor Heath Ledger was inconclusive, and a cause-of-death determination will take 10 to 14 days, a medical examiner's spokeswoman said.

Fans have created a makeshift memorial at the front door of the apartment building where Heath Ledger died.
The Academy Award-nominated actor was found dead Tuesday of a possible drug overdose in a Lower Manhattan apartment, the New York Police Department said. He was 28.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Wednesday that Ledger was found face down in a normal sleeping position and not at the foot of his bed, as had been previously reported.
Kelly said technicians collected a $20 bill found in the apartment for testing, because of the way it was folded.
Flowers, notes and a candle were left by mourning fans on the sidewalk outside the Soho apartment building.
"You did great work and I know your fans were looking forward to what more you had to offer," read one note.
Ledger's former girlfriend, actress Michelle Williams, who was shooting a movie in Sweden, was informed of his death late Tuesday night, a movie production company spokesman said.
Williams left early Wednesday morning with 2-year-old daughter Matilda Rose, the spokesman said. Ledger was the child's father.
Ledger, Oscar-nominated for his role in "Brokeback Mountain," was found by a housekeeper trying to wake him for an appointment with a masseuse, said police spokesman Paul Browne.

Browne later told reporters some prescription medications were found in the room, including sleeping pills. He said the pills were not "scattered around," as had been reported.
No note was found, and there was no indication of foul play, Browne said.
The apartment did not belong to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, as initially reported by The New York Times' Web site and TMZ.com, citing police. Olsen's publicist told CNN the place is "not her apartment, was never her apartment."
In light of Ledger's death, President Bush on Wednesday postponed an event surrounding the launch of a public-service ad campaign warning against the dangers of prescription drug abuse.
"We thought it would be better to postpone the event rather than run the risk of anyone thinking that we were being opportunistic in highlighting the issue," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
Ledger's family on Wednesday called his death "very tragic, untimely and accidenta
"Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life, but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him," Ledger's father, Kim Ledger, told reporters while standing with the actor's mother and sister in Perth, Australia.
"He was a down-to-earth, generous, kindhearted, life-loving, unselfish individual extremely inspirational to many."
Hollywood reacts
Condolences began pouring in from Ledger's friends and co-stars.
"I had such great hope for him," said Mel Gibson, who played Ledger's father in "The Patriot," in a statement.
"He was just taking off, and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family."
At the time of his death, Ledger had just finished playing the villain The Joker in "The Dark Knight," the latest installment in the Batman series. The film is to open in July.
The role disturbed him, according to The Associated Press. He called The Joker a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy."
"Last week, I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told The New York Times. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going."
He said prescription sleeping pills didn't help, according to AP.
Ledger was born in Perth and named Heathcliff Andrew after the main characters of Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights." He began acting at a local theater as a child.
Ledger's first American film was the teen comedy "10 Things I Hate About You" in 1999, and he immediately attracted attention from Hollywood. He passed up several scripts before taking a role in the Revolutionary War drama "The Patriot" in 2000 and "A Knight's Tale" in 2001. He also played a supporting role in "Monster's Ball," among other films.
"In a way, I was spoon-fed a career," he said in a 2005 interview with Time magazine. "It was fully manufactured by a studio that believed it could put me on their posters and turn me into a product. ... I hadn't figured out properly how to act, and all of a sudden I was being thrown into these lead roles."
Controversial role
But Ledger was perhaps best known for his 2005 portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain," about two cowboys who had a secret romantic relationship. The role earned him an Oscar nomination.
"I felt that choices were being made for me, so I feel this has been my time now to find the good stories and test myself," Ledger told the Glasgow Herald in the 2005 interview. "It has been an interesting year, where I finally have a sense of accomplishment."
"Working with Heath was one of the purest joys of my life," Ang Lee, who directed "Brokeback Mountain," told AP.
"He brought to the role of Ennis 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."
Asked how he felt about filming love scenes with another man, Ledger said he and his co-star Jake Gyllenhaal simply focused on their roles.

"We can't say that we weren't nervous about it," Ledger told Oprah Winfrey in 2006. "But once the first take was over, it's like, 'OK. So what? It's kissing another human being. How are we going to finish this scene? Let's get on with it and let's get out of here.' "
In a written statement, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said it mourns Ledger's death, adding that his portrayal of Del Mar "changed hearts and minds in immeasurable ways."

i do not understand how come how autopsy failed...

It means that by examining the body there was no obvious reason for the death. They have to run tests which take time.

 

[m.j.]

usually autopsy fails when the body isn't found that quick.

 

[Teja]

I still can't believe it. I don't want to.
Some people are so mean. I was readng comments at our local info portal. If you didn't like him, why do you have to leave such a primitive comment?

 

[yellowetpink]

I can't believe that those people who attend that church are going to protest at his funeral because of a role he played in a film.

It's sick, that's when you know that no one should have complete freedom of speech. It's just urgghhh!

 

[SiennaInLondon]

^ Heath wasn't a sweetheart sort of guy by all accounts. He was really troubled. And that makes it more tragic. So if people are using his personality against him, at a time like this, it is extra spiteful because a difficult life means that it is a sadder end.

And I have just realised that Heath is in one of my all time favourite movies Lords of Dogtown. I keep forgetting because it is such an ensemble cast and whenever I watch that movie I totally crush on Emile Hirsch but Heath as Skip Engblom was divine. A movie stealing sort of performance.

From right to left, Emile Hirsch as Jay Adams, Victor Rasuk as Tony Alva, Michael Angarano as Sid, Heath Ledger as Skip Engblom.

It is weird, Johnny Knoxville must be having a really bad week. He co-starred with Heath in this - both very flamboyant roles - and he was Brad Renfro's co-star in Deuces Wild and they were both from Knoxville, Tennessee.

 

[cutxpaste]

to heath


Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
No, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out.....

Rest In Peace
