Just broke on Fox - details to come.
Agreed.
Don’t get me wrong, I was guilty of my fair share of “Brokeback” jokes but the honest truth is, Heath and Jake are two of the better actors in their age group.
Have’nt seen Casanova. Out on DVD? (have’nt been in a theatre in 25 years)
I never saw Bareback Mountain [and never will], but I saw a few minutes of Candy on cable TV, and, well, the Culture of Death just keeps marching on...
who cares what you would have done. Have some respect.
Doesn’t smell funny :-).
But that's Hollyweird.
TMZ is reporting that he was filming another Gilliam movie now that was supposed to come out next year.

At least The Fisher King was coherent.
At least The Fisher King was coherent.
Police believe the death was "drug related."
Det. Mark Furman on FOX now. Previous guests said it could be suicide and the pills were related to this, but no one knows yet.
And most of those actors who have, have also lost me, my support and my box office revenue. It's not so much the role of a gay person that turns me off, but it's the context in which homosexuality is lionized and romanticized.
Obviously, I don't celebrate the death of this young man, a tragedy regardless of the cause. I simply haven't supported him as an actor since Brokeback. He had a free choice in selecting a part that made a political statement and I reserve my freedom in how I dispense of my entertainment $$.
Very sad Bat-ping.
Al Pacino lost you with Dog Day AFternoon?
Did you actually see the movie? I saw it on cable a few weeks ago. IMHO, it didn't romanticize anything -- it portrayed the gay lifestyle as the sad, dysfunctional and depressing life that it is.
Wow. That was unexpected.
What a shame. Such a young guy, and a fairly good actor IMO.
Get over yourself.
I agree. He didn’t write Brokeback Mountain, he’s not personally promoting the homosexual agenda, he merely played a part. He is an actor. If we are that shallow and self absorbed to believe that, or that his life means nothing because of it, we are just as despicable as those who commit hate crimes
And this is coming from someone who doesn’t support the homosexual agenda at all. Yet, I am still human.
And in the context of this thread, Ledger was good in BG.
