8 year anniversary of Heath Ledger's death.
- Thread starter KingOfBBN
- Start date
I'd say it's right up there with 9/11.
And the day Hugh Grant got caught with that skanky hooker.
Never forget

I've still never seen the Batman movies. Well, I take that back... Last Batman movie I saw had Michael Keaton in it and I was a frosh in HS... I guess once my nads grew hair, kids movies just didn't do it for me anymore.
The new Nolan Batman films made me dislike the Tim Burton Batman films. You might enjoy the new ones. More adult themes.
Maybe it's because I'm out of touch with pop culture, but I don't know why so many people care about this guy and his death. I only know one movie he was in (although he was awesome in it (The Joker)).
So no Iron Man, Captain America, Superman, Spider-Man, Avenger or any comic book movies then?
Knew nothing about him or his personal life outside his role as The Joker. IMO, he was the absolute best villain I ever saw in a movie.
He will always be the Joker. That way and not some other. He owned it.
I did see the first Iron Man. I didn't actively seek it out, it was just on in the background and wherever I was and whatever my wife/kids were there to do, the movie was the more interesting option. I've also seen bits and pieces of the first X-men. Of course, it was kind of like Shawshank there for a few years and hard to miss on constant repeat. I also saw the first Matrix and I watched "The Avengers" with my kids and really enjoyed it.
Never seen:
Harry Potter
LOTR
The Hobbit
Transformers
Any Star Wars since the original 3
Otherwise, no, I haven't seen any super hero flicks since the 80's/early 90's. Never read comic books, so I have exactly zero interest in that kind of stuff. Frankly, I can't believe that Hollywood has been able to repackage that stuff over and over so many times and still make money. Seems like nearly 2 decade's worth of nearly 20+ superhero films. Doesn't it get old and mundane? How many times can the world be saved from explosions? Makes me think the movie industry has gotten extremely lazy or the consumer extremely easy to entertain.
I have nothing for them either. Based on the amount of money they make, I can only assume I'm a weird for having no desire to see any it.
Haven't seen any Batman or superhero movies since the 90s but Avengers was just a damn good film. Maybe they're all that good, but I doubt it.
Me either. I don't like sci-fi movies anymore. I guess it's my age and I would rather watch something about history or at least something realistic.
I only speak in Comic Sans, thank you very much.
Probably has a lot to do with how beloved his Joker role is and his untimely death. However, he did a lot of good films and wasn't your typical celebrity douche and died young, which as you know automatically makes you more appealing for some weird reason.
He's in the 27 club to if I remember correctly.
I misspoke. I have not seen Avengers, I was thinking of the cartoon... The Incredibles. But, I hear so much about The Avengers I feel like I need to see it.
My wife talked me into taking her to see a cowboy movie he was in. I hadn't been to the theatre to see a cowboy movie since Unforgiven, and they have changed quite a bit.
I liked his performance in "I'm Not There" the Bob Dylan movie where tons of different actors played Dylan at different parts of his life.
Bale was in it too. Very good movie. Pretentious as hell though.
He also played a junkie very well in the movie Candy.

Honestly, I'm surprised at the amount that haven't seen/don't like the comic/superhero movies. Would make for a good spinoff thread poll.
Not really. I think the paddock has reached its quota of spinoff threads.
I thought Nicholson was great, but looking back, Burton's version was awful compared to Nolan's version. As far as playing The Joker, although Nicholson is a highly accomplished actor in his own right Ledger completely blew him away playing the character. I remember when they announced him as the selection to play The Joker. It was a WTF moment for me. How wrong I and MANY others were. He nailed it and its hard to imagine anyone else ever being able to take future versions of The Joker to another level. What could have been if he had lived and been able to play the character in the 3rd installment. Hardy did a good job as Bane, but Ledger would have taken that movie to a completely different level.
That would have been a funny Brokeback Mountain joke but you blew it.
Both products of their time. Nicholson was acclaimed for his performance until Ledger did his. Different takes.
Romero's joker and Nicholson's joker, when compared, make Jack look super dark.
That's scary. Not your response but the fact you can put coherent sentences together. You must know somebody. See how it can be flipped?
What? Look creepy dumb guy, I made a joke about how you got your job on something other than talent, because your reasoning skills are atrocious, and not sure how you made it through law school, let alone civ pro. But you're a prosecutor doing low level crap, so you really don't need to know legal reasoning. Then again Katie king got elected never having been lead in a trial.
If you have to be a stalker, do your thing. But obvious you are a creepy dude. No need to stalk thread me thread to thread.
