Yeah, I'm really shaken up. It came out of nowhere. Like JZ, I was expecting to see him in so much more post-Joker. It's crazy.
So much this.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think it's similar to what happens when politicians die in plane crashes (which they seem to do disturbingly often). People lard their hopes or imaginations into the human figure, and have to mourn the "death" of that imagination as much as they mourn the death of the real person whom they never met.
My coworkers in 2004, who had never even lived in the same state as Paul Wellstone (and thus didn't have direct reasons to lard their hopes into him), flipped their lids when he died.

CNN is now reporting that it's a suspected suicide. Also, that it was Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment he was found in.
It's terrible, and heartbreaking.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
le nubian's link makes mention of him and Michelle Williams having split up recently, which maybe makes more sense of the situation.
I'm sad... I thought he was one of the people who was going to make it though all the Hollywood BS undamaged.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
They split up last year sometime.
About 22,000 or so people die of drug overdoses per year in the US. It raises at about 15% each year. One of the key sources is actually opioid pain killers -- oxycodone, hydrocodone, methadone and fentanyl, which are legally prescribed pain killers. But can also be taken out of prescription for thrills. The rest is made up of heroin, pretty much.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
this may seem callous but I am so mad at Heath Ledger right now. He was filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus with Terry Gilliam.

Laga, he might well have filmed his part in that.
