rotae: Ritchie Neville of the band FIVE headbanging (Random: Australia: Crazy)
I know it's everywhere, but this is for me, not you, so deal.

I... I really liked Heath Ledger. Seriously. I felt... I dunno... somehow close to him, in an odd way. I mean, he's not like a Ewan, Ritchie or Tom to me (thank goodness), but even though I'd never even met him, I still admired, respected and liked him very much.

I guess it's because not a lot of Australian actors make it big (and still end up having me like them, lol)... I guess I kinda cling to the ones I do like (Nicole and Huge).

And he was meant to start production on the Terry Gilliam film soon too... :( reports are saying he wasn't done on Batman: The Dark Knight yet either... but I suspect he was.

Heath Ledger made me laugh, he made me cry, he was bloody good at his job, and I will absolutely miss him terribly.

He's making me cry just writing this.

I think the common opinion is that he took sleeping pills and overdosed... if that's correct... I can't imagine being absolutely just THAT desperate.

I'm so, so sorry, Heath.

What kind of pain must you have been in to do that?

My thoughts are with his family; especially his daughter Matlida.

Peace,
Rotae

I'm so sad about this, I've met him and he was such a wonderfully nice person, it's so sad to see.

(This probably isn't the pace to put this, but have you seen THIS (http://community.livejournal.com/dramione/1458737.html). I saw it and thought of you)

I've never worked out how to download youtube clips. But the song is so pretty.

you can use youtubex.com - just put in the YouTube video URL and you can download it to as a FLV video file.

(But the site does have a lot of annoying ads, I'm sure there is another less-ad-filled site, but I've lost the address)

There's a Firefox addon. I have it at home although I haven't quite mastered the use of it.

I don't remember the name, so I'll have to get back to you on this. But it's something like "downloader"?

If he committed suicide, then my new obsession with the song "Here's To Life" is even more poignant.

Although I was personally not deeply attached to Heath Ledger [besides faux-gay sex with Jake] and I find it amusing that people whisper like little bees about this in the cafeteria, it is still a shame that he died so young.

I'm sorry for you... I was sad when I read the news, too, but to read you're so affected by his death makes me even more sad T_T Its so tragic and a shame.

Oh I forgot about Batman! It's going to be really weird when that comes out. He looked really good in it.

I heard this on the radio this morning, and i kind of went into shock. It's all so sad - his poor family. :(

Isn't this so sad? I'm sorry that you're a bit more affected than most. He was a very good actor, and I'm proud to say he's Australian. I guess I have an affection for all Aussie actors who make it big, because there aren't THAT many who do make a good name for themselves. Heath managed to do that - he's starred in so many big films. He seemed really down-to-earth, too.

I feel so sorry for his family, too... and his daughter! :( It's horrible.

I read about this and was absolutely floored. I have been a huge fan of Heath Ledger for almost 10 years not, circa 10 Things, and I could not believe this.

You have to feel badly when any person feels so lost that they committ suicide, intentionally or accidentally/subconciously.

I honestly hope that the autopsy will reveal that it was something else, more for the peice of mind of those closest to him than anything else.

And his poor little girl.

I was definitely upset to read such distressing news today.

I had to cry when I read the news about his death in my movie-news-feed T____T I adored him, he was such a great actor and I hardly can believe he isn't there anymore T___T

All the movies with him mean a lot to me... and I hope that the new Batman movie will show that he was a great and awesome actor who could do more than just looking good but also play difficult characters.

I will truly miss him .___.
