All Things Heath Ledger - Thread No. 2

I cannot tell you all how thrilled I am that the backlash over showing that disgusting video has stopped it cold! I wish more people would come out swinging at this sort of thing!!!!!

Unfortunately, I've heard that they're still going to show it in Austraila.

Oh that 's so sad!
Couldn't they have shown more respect for his family right now? God love them.
What good does airing that video do ? It's just a greed factor for the tv station... more money, more viewers, I guess.
 
I havent seen the tape and Im not sure that its even been aired here.....below is a link to a news page with a poll regarding the video and it clearly shows that most Australians would not want to see it anyway.

I think you have a great attitude on life my freind Taximom and your posts always enlighten me.:blowkiss: .

I do believe Heath was one of the good guys and not just because he was Aussie.....the rags are digging on him but there are few that can find anything hateful or disgusting to say about him...all in all I think our boy was a troubled yet beautiful young soul who may have had demons haunting him.......All I can say is rest in peace Heath and say hello to Steve and Brockie for us will you mate:blowkiss:

I don't know what went wrong, but I truly believe he would have overcome his problems eventually with the right help.

I even think he might have gotten back together with Michelle. He just needed to "get it together". My son is 27 and he doesn't even want to marry until age 30, much less have a baby. That generation is really having a hard time deciding what they want in life, I think. Very common.

That's why this is such a Shakesperean tragedy to me. Angst, extreme talent,miscommunication, bad timing, struggle for clarity - it's all so common, but he was on CENTER STAGE. Not just our unknown neighbor down the street or a less respected Hollywood person who never seemed to have a clue anyway, much less talent.

For some reason his death has affected me more than the death of most Hollywood people. 1) his age (my son is the same age) 2) he was on his way to greatness, probably 3) he also came from a pretty normal family, full of love, and he loved his own daughter truly.

He COULD have been my neighbor, or my son. IN many ways he seemed quite ordinary, just wanting to go on his Skate board.

Goodbye, Heath; I hope you're in Skateboard Heaven having a great time; I'll be watching your movies, DUDE! They're all great!

I;ve seen it and it is heavily edited.National Nine news had it on...but the report was more of a bashing of the show that was going to air it.Nine only showed a little of it....I did not see Heath snort anything.But he was necking a stubby. As we do...
 
No-one I know is even talking about Heath here....it is yesterdays news.Everyone is talking about cricket...:waitasec:

It's not yesterday's news in that way, it will be a long time before he is far from daily thoughts. I think people are just taking some moments to be still and quiet, for the family and to honor him. :blowkiss:

I googled "necking a stubby" and STILL don't know what that means!!! Necking here usually means making out, kissing etc.

Must be the coicles I travel, but no-one is taking about either....but I have heardall about some Indian cricketer that has p***** of the aussie team. Everyone is on about 2o twenty cricket.
I do not think there will be a lot of Heath coverage here when he is laid to rest..
 
Michelle broken hearted.

In her first statement since the death of her former companion Heath Ledger, actress Michelle Williams said she is suffering from a broken heart and asked for privacy for her and daughter Matilda


I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father," Williams said in her statement.


"All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals and takes steps two at a time and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him."

That was a beautiful statement from Michelle. I am not surprised - she has always struck me as a beautiful woman.
