Suicide happens. 1.7% of all deaths in Australia are suicides. And I find it very hard to believe his death was an accident... same with the Australian guy who died in Iraq, "cleaning" his pistol. What I want to say to the people who find his death distressing, is get a life. People die all the time and no one cares, no one even knows. When a family member or friend or someone you know dies, this sort of reaction is understandable, but the media has you all chasing your tails, thinking that this Heath Ledger's death has any relevance to your lives what so ever. People are making money off of this "tragic" event, and you guys are blindly handing it over. That right there is sadder than any actors death is.

If you don't like what I just said, shoot me.

Man, I'm just saying is all xD
Don't watch TV. Don't think about watching TV. Think your own thoughts. That's about the best advice anyone could ever give you.

iddqd said: It made a lot of sense, but you, like everyone else, place far too much importance on actors... what about directors? Stanley Kubrick for example? do you think it was Jack Nicholson who made The Shining a classic film? ... he played a major part in making it a classic, not many actors could have pulled it off, but it was Kubrick who it all ultimately came down to... and even then it was based off of a Stephen King novel, with hundreds of other people involved... So maybe you need to put a little bit more thought in to what makes movies such effective pieces of art. Actors are just one small factor, and ultimately they're just being told what to do.
