I haven't watched any movie with him, but I will definitely watch the Batman movie, not due to this though.
Just looked up the new Batman movie on imdb.com; Some trivia: Maggie Gyllenhaal is in the Batman movie too, sister of Jake Gyllenhaal of Brokeback mountain fame. Probably totally useless knowledge that you can file under "not worth knowing" ;)

Kids, stay away from those drugs. As sad as it is (he was a good actor) - he did it to himself so I won't shed no tears...

That's not a fact yet. Autopsy is today.
When I read the article yesterday, I thought it said "OTC sleeping pills" or something to that effect. Now it says "prescription pills, including sleeping pills". Did I just mis-read yesterday, or did they edit? :confused:

Autopsy came back, inconclusive. They are going to do more tests and we'll hear more in about 10 days.

I didn't say it was right or wrong. :confused:
Just that it wasn't a fact.
And apparently, it still isn't.

Not a fact is correct. Inconclusive results on preliminary autopsy. Additional results in 10 days.

I can't speak for this specific case, but I have found out that they constantly edit published articles on the web. I have myself reported incorrect things and seen it edited without a note of it being so. I know I frequently do that to correct grammar and spelling in my posts, but the forum software indicate that I have edited it, something I lack from the "real" media. :angry037

WJW FOX 8 News in Cleveland interviewed Ledger in Nov. 2007 when he was promoting "I'm Not There." In the interview, he told FOX: "Being a dad changes your perspective — I don't want to die young."
Ledger also told The New York Times in a November interview that he "stressed out a little too much" during the Dylan film, and had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker, whom he called a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy."
"Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told the newspaper. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." He said he took two Ambien pills, which only worked for an hour, the paper said.
Read this on Foxnews.com this morning.:(

Regardless, it is very sad. I was always a big fan of his work and looked forward to seeing more films with him in it. Life is fragile. Live everyday as though it is your last because one day you will be right.
