'Out Of Gas'
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.
I... didn't know comment threads could go to 45 pages. That's impressive.
The real question is though, while they're picketing Ledger's funeral, will they also picket Jake Gyllenhaal's... whatever he happens to be doing at the time? Somehow I doubt they would get nearly the attention if they yammered at live people, who could just turn around and moon them.
If they ever picket the funeral of someone dear to me, you guys will take up a collection to bail me out of jail, right?
No.
How the hell am I supposed to bail you out when I'm gonna be right next to you?
Think before you ask these questions, Matt.
Won't his funeral be in Australia? Are they going to fly down there for it?
The Westboro Baptist Church will picket Ledger's funeral: [link]
How do they even know where it is? It hasn't even been announced yet, I'm sure. How are they going to get anywhere near it?
WHY HASN'T ANYBODY KILLED ALL THESE MOTHERFUCKERS YET????????
I hope his funeral is in Australia.
I hope his funeral is in Australia.
And that those fuckers try to walk there.
Oh, that burns.
Does God hate a lot? I mean, in his own words did he say he hated people?
do these fools picket every actor who has played a GLBT role?
God. I hate these people.

Old Testament God may have, here and there, in Leviticus or one of the other extra-rulesy sections. New Testament God, not so much, except maybe the part where Jesus gets pissed off at people turning a temple courtyard into an open-air mall, and the parable where he gets pissed off at people who don't care for the poor and sick and clothe the homeless and visit people in prison and then end up in hell and whine about how unfair it is, how they would've been nicer if they'd known they were supposed to be nice to, you know, those kinds of people too.
Pulling "God hates fags" and "God wants us to picket soldiers' and GLBT or GLBT-friendly actors' funerals and mock the mourners" out of that requires a metric fuckload of handwavium, but Fred Phelps is just gifted that way.
If the funeral is in Australia, they might not be able to picket since there are more restrictions on free speech. I'm not sure the Aussies would consider it political speech.
