The Dark Knight.

[Saz]

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.

[Jack]

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.

[Talys]

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...

[Juno]

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]

[Piper Juunanagou]

Damn Courtney Love!

First Kurt Cobain and now this. When will that skank ever stop?

[Jack]

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.

[Juno]

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

[Dr. Cringle]

Dammit, dammit, dammit. I HAVE to see this film. ;.;

[Super Buu]

Yes you do.

[Talys]

Hey, good news...it kicks just as much ass the second time.

[Jack]

According to Waffuru, it's pretty fantastic the fifth time too.

[Juno]

Going to see it a third time soon-ish. Maybe a fourth.

[Aero]

I've seen it three times so far.


After the first time around, everything after the boat scene gets boring.

[Juno]

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

[Medraut]

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.

[Jack]

Almost? I fapped it three times the morning after the debut. =(

[Celena]

Yeah, so I'm finally going to see the Dark Knight tonight. You can all laugh now, about how incredibly late I am.

[Medraut]

I still don't understand how this won't break Titanic's movie record. Was Titanic that big of a deal?

[Jonathan Meer]

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.
