Wow. So it's generally accepted now that getting into his role as the Joker is what lead him to suicide? I just find that really hard to believe.
The Dark Knight. - Jack - 07-24-2008
I also meant to add that I don't think that was sole reason, if it was even a major reason at all. I find it hard to believe as well.
But I think the idea is that he was getting no sleep getting into character (it is harder on the mind than people think), and ended up taking a deadly combination of sleeping pills. By accident, apparently.
I, HOWEVER, BELIEVE HE WAS MURDERED. By, uh... Courtney Love? Yeah, that should get you guys going.
The Dark Knight. - Talys - 07-24-2008
He apparently was a method actor (not hard to believe...those people scare me...) and like stayed in character all the time/always wore the makeup...trust me, getting into a character can be an odd experience...
The Dark Knight. - Juno - 07-24-2008
apparently his last role also had something to do with it. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus or sumthin.
^ didn't hear wearing the makeup all the time. apparantly the thing was he was very different in and out of character he scared bale when they first filmed a scene together. [spoiler]
interrogation scene

Damn Courtney Love!
First Kurt Cobain and now this. When will that skank ever stop?
The Dark Knight. - Jack - 07-24-2008
Zangya, I hear they're gonna have someone else complete his role in that movie. Like, he walked into a mirror and ends up Johhny Depp for the rest of the film.
The Dark Knight. - Juno - 07-24-2008
They cast like three different actors to show different "versions" of his character. It's like these really famous creepy movie/comedy actors.
EDIT: From IMDB.
Heath Ledger ... Tony
Johnny Depp
Colin Farrell
Jude Law

Dammit, dammit, dammit. I HAVE to see this film. ;.;
The Dark Knight. - Super Buu - 07-26-2008
Yes you do.
The Dark Knight. - Talys - 07-27-2008
Hey, good news...it kicks just as much ass the second time.
The Dark Knight. - Jack - 07-27-2008
According to Waffuru, it's pretty fantastic the fifth time too.
The Dark Knight. - Juno - 07-27-2008
Going to see it a third time soon-ish. Maybe a fourth.
The Dark Knight. - Aero - 07-27-2008
I've seen it three times so far.
After the first time around, everything after the boat scene gets boring.
The Dark Knight. - Juno - 07-27-2008
But the boat scene is a long way in =P
EDIT: Unless you mean the boat with the Russian dancers, in which case, Lao had always been the low point of the movie =P

Quote:Spencer Taylor, a 20 year old from Michigan, was arrested Sunday morning.
His crime?
He was allegedly trying to steal Batman posters, as well as other collectibles, from a movie theater nearby.
And even better, he went dressed at the Joker!
Taylor, an apparent Dark Knight fan, went to the Three Rivers Cinema to steal the items.
The Joker wannabe was charged with felony larceny and malicious destruction of property.
He was booked and photographed with and without the makeup for his mug shots.
Why so serious?????

To state clearly:
I love this movie in an almost sexual way.
The Dark Knight. - Jack - 07-29-2008
Almost? I fapped it three times the morning after the debut. =(
The Dark Knight. - Celena - 08-07-2008
Yeah, so I'm finally going to see the Dark Knight tonight. You can all laugh now, about how incredibly late I am.
The Dark Knight. - Medraut - 08-07-2008
I still don't understand how this won't break Titanic's movie record. Was Titanic that big of a deal?
The Dark Knight. - Jonathan Meer - 08-07-2008
The official word is accidental overdose. It was a mixture of drugs that killed him, not any one.
I see no reason to believe otherwise.
