RIP Heath Ledger: This goes straight to my gut.

January 23, 2008

I was shocked when I found out. So many young men have died these past weeks… Brad Renfro, and now Heath. Heath’s death affects me deeply (even more so than Brad’s) because it is so unexpected. I had always expected his career to span decades — he was so talented! I’m going to miss him. Plus, unlike Brad, Heath has had so much exposure and the world had grown to love him over the years.

Whether the cause was drugs or something else (I’m hoping it’s the latter), he lived a life that produced great movies that people would watch and enjoy for all the decades after.

Hopefully Michelle and their daughter, as well as the rest of his family, would be okay one day… I just can’t imagine how right now. Poor Michelle!  To suffer such a loss so early…

Makes me wonder though. Would they still show his movies? The Dark Knight’s set to be released this summer… I hope they do. It would be added to what would be his legacy. In an interview, he said "Playing the Joker has been the most fun I’ve had..maybe will ever have.." Don’t quote me on that. Just watch the video below…  But it made me think — it was the most fun he will ever have, because he won’t be able to make any more movies.

I miss Heath already.

Too much death.
