Paying Tribute To Heath

Filed under: Film Flickers > Australiastic > Heath Ledger

warnerbros.jpg

Warner Bros., the studio that is releasing what will be one of Heath Ledger's last films ever, the new Batman movie, has just updated http://whysoserious.com/, the Dark Knight viral site, which is "run" by his character, the Joker.

A black ribbon has been posted in memory of Heath.

Very subtle but very nice of them do something and acknowledge the tragedy.

    Yes indeed. His character, THE JOKER, would have outshined Jack Nicholson's in my opinion. Much more realistic - darker and more serious. Haunting…

    My eyes are still red and sore from crying today. I watched 10 Things I Hate About You and it was impossible to hold back the tears. While his other films may have been more challenging, I wanted to watch a film in which he had a lighter role and still it didn't help. It made it worse seeing his smile on the screen. He was my favorite actor and though I did not know him, I felt some connection to him. I loved him, his films, his immense talent and I'm so sad he is no longer here. My thoughts and prayers go out to Michelle, Matilda, the Ledger family in Perth and his friends. Rest In Peace Love

    Another dead PAMPERED celebrity…. boo hoo, he couldn't sleep. WWHHHHHhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Cry-baby pampered pretty rich boy can't sleep, so he drugs himself to death. Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

    And now the JUNKIE is DEAD.

    There's a good message here: don't take drugs, or you'll die, at 28, like Heath "pretty boy" Ledger. Boo hoo, he's dead…… I'm SOOooooo sad.

    Let's have lots of tributes, and let's have celebrities crying all over the t.v. WHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

    Perez, I am begging you to stop posting all of these Heath bulletins. Unless you were a close friend or family member, it is not healthy to obsess over someone's death like this. Really, LET HIM REST.

    RIP Heath. Very sad.

    I wonder how long it will be until they come out with the fact that him and Michelle got married last January (I think the 21st or 22nd, ironically). They kept their marriage a secret. Wonder if they got divorced. I feel so bad for all of this family. RIP

    Gee, now that the JUNKIE is dead, it's going to be REALLY hard for HOLLYWOOD to make movies anymore… I guess there's just NO ONE else out there, willing to get $5 million a movie to act around on a movie set for a few weeks… that ought to be REAL tough to find…
    Will life on earth continue, now that the DRUGGIE JUNKIE is dead?

    Boo hoo, he couldn't sleep, so he drugs himself to death…

    WWHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Cry baby. DEAD cry baby.

    Perez, thanks for giving us a forum for all the Heath and JUNKIE haters who are GLAD that Heath is dead, and can now serve as a good role model to NOT take drugs.

    The junkie is dead, and I'm celebrating. Maybe his death will save others lives. Thanks for dying, pretty boy JUNKIE. And it's great that you died BEFORE you drove drunk and killed others.

    Others agree with me, that JUNKIES should NOT be worshiped.

    Thanks Perez.

    Dear Heath,
    I'm sorry you're dead, but do you have any extra drugs I can use for the weekend? Hope you left me some.
    Love, Mary Kate
    PS: I'll be dead within a month too, cause I'm a JUNKIE TOO!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't help it….I'm still just so upset over this. I know that I didn't personally know Heath, or Matilda, or even Michelle, but I just feel such a loss, and I can't help but wonder….how his entire family and all of his friends are dealing with this. I really hope they staying strong. We all Miss Heath, but I'm sure they miss him more then I could ever imagine. :-(

    Re: King of Mean
    King of Mean, you're right and you're the only one here telling the truth. Heath was a junkie and it's a bad message to honor such a bad role model.

    God bless you, King of Mean, my true here.

  43. Skippy says – reply to this

    Subtle yet appropriate. As for you, "King of Mean" - you are a cunt and you deserve a good swift kick in the head. Heath Ledger was NOT a fucking junkie. Show some respect.

  44. King of Mean says – reply to this
    44

    Dear Heath,
    We're sorry we raised you so poorly. We're sorry you're a dead JUNKIE that we raised. We should kill ourselves too, just like you did. You're a bad role model, and we're responsible, cause we raised you.
    Love, Mom and Dad in Australia

  45. there is more to the page says – reply to this

    you can actually click somewhere on the page, and a picture of him will appears, with the black ribbon on the left of his head… the picture is from the movie, nothing special…

    to those of you with all the negative comments about him making a gay movie, GROW UP, and WAKE UP, you are worse than the KKK, with your burn in hell, you will be the ones burning in hell.

    it was his time to go, and that's it, rip

  46. such a tragedy says – reply to this
    46

    Thats very nice of the website to do. I am very sad about Heath ledgers tragic death and I dont think he deserved to die. Before he died he was a well respected actor and now after his death people are saying all types if things in order to ruin his well deserved reputation. May he rest in peace and watch over his beautiful daughter Matilda straight from heaven. I also hope that his family and friends can mourn in peace and that the church that wants to picket his funeral think better of it. I feel very deeply sad for his parents and his ex wife michelle wiliams and for his gorgeous daughter and the rest of his family and friends. He only deserved the best and may he rest in peace.

    Re: Skippy – Oh really, you know that Heath Ledger wasn't a junkie? You're that all-knowing? I heard there were 5 kinds of sleeping pills at his bedside… sounds like a junkie to me!!! And he's DEAD, and that's a GOOD message for drug addicts, junkies, and enablers like yourself, who DEFEND drug addicts and who ENCOURAGE JUNKIES. Shame on you.

    It's a good thing that another worthless junkie is DEAD. It might just discourage others from going down his junkie druggie path. Shame on you.

    It is such a tragedy… a tragedy that he lived to be 28… it would have been better if the JUNKIE killed himself a lot earlier, like at 22. It would have been a better anti-drug message that DRUGS KILL. I'm so glad he's dead, and might discourage others from copying his bad lifestyle. It's a great thing he died… just wish it happened younger for him. Good riddance.

    to all the people "celebrating" the death of Heath Ledger…WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? A man just died and you are happy? I highly suggest seeing a psychiatrist. Regardless what you thought of the man don't you have enough decency to let him rest in peace. You are already labeling him a full blown junkie and you don't even have all the facts (no one does). So get over yourselves. And to the people saying that "God" wanted this to happen because of the Brokeback Mountain movie…it's people like you that make me so glad I am an atheist.

    PS — to all of you fuckers that are glad he is dead, you're going to rot in hell and KARMA IS A BITCH. You've obviously never lost anyone in your life and there are MILLIONS of people that are prescription drug abusers - his body just couldn't take anymore. So get over yourself and grow up!!

    Perez… You need to let it go. He is dead. How many more fucking updates are you going to post. RIP Heath Ledger, I hope you aren't rolling in your grave because of assholes like Perez making a circus out of your death. Perez, maybe you should re-read your post about Star Jones. You are an asshole. Stick to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and bashing celebs who diss you.

    I'm sure some of the execs at Warner are thrilled that his death is going to bring them millions if not billions of dollars when the movie is released. If they wanted to do something really worth while, they would commit to donating half of the income earned by the movie to an organization that helps individuals with drug/alcohol/depression issues. THAT alone would make me go see the movie.

    'Perez's posts on Heath Ledger a few months ago:
    Heath Ledger made a slightly shiteous appearance at the after-party for the Rescue Dawn premiere in NYC on Monday night.
    We're really shallow and soulless, but….
    There was a period (of about a year) where Heath Ledger was totally hot.
    Time flies!
    '

    Not that he's ugly now. He's just totally average.
    ”Heath Ledger has been making the most of the single life.
    The Aussie actor, most recently linked to model Helena Christensen, was spotted making out with Kate Hudson at the Beatrice Inn in NYC on Thursday night.
    She obviously has a thing for scrubs!
    '
    Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have split up, Us Weekly is exclusively reporting.
    Why the break up? The usual.
    Grew apart. Tried to make it work. They remain friends and committed parents to their two year old daughter, Mathilda. Blah blah blah. Boring.
    '
    Amazing pictures of Heath Ledger as The Joker in the new Batman movie!
    He looks scary scary.
    Mainly it's his receding hairline that frightens us. And that's no special effect

    Well this has been a great campaign and we were all wondering how they were going to continue doing this. Essentially The Joker was leaving like, cells in cakes that you had to find, puzzles, etc. It was a GREAT campaign but obviously they cant continue having it the way it has been. Also if you go to www.thedarkknight.com and click on the batsignal, that by the way is the other WB site, it is also a really nice tribute

    Let's wait until all the reports are back before jumping into conclusions and let his family, daughter and friends mourn in peace, let's have some decency and class and wait without making some stupid comments about what happen.

    Re: King of Mean – actually, junkies are not generally very happy people and are usually consumed by the drug. Actually, junkies are generally able to have a tox screen prelim come back blaringly positive so that there would be nothing inconclusive and AcTUALLY organ damage is pretty fucking evident in junkies/addicts. IF he WERE a junkie it would not take away his talent and his beauty. SINCE HE WAS NOT A JUNKIE and you have issues of either having been gang raped by squirrels or have some other closeted up abuse issues, it is even MORE tragic. It is always sad when ANYONE YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF LIFE PASSES. I dont care if it IS a Junkie on the street, or a Vestal Virgin. Now go rid your own demons somehwere else and quit pissing on the grief of people.

    God. People need to learn to freaking respect him. Yeah, he did die, and he was a great actor, and he took sleeping pills. You still need to be respectful toward him and his family.
    How would you feel if someone very close to you died and someone said something like "ITS BECAUSE THEY DID THIS! FAGS WILL BURN IN HELL"

    Fuck that.
    God loves everyone.

    It's haters lik
