Sark Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Jan 23 2008, 06:35 AM) QUOTE (Necromancer @ Jan 22 2008, 09:11 PM) Was he done shooting all his scenes? Or are they going to have to do what they did with Brandon Lee in The Crow? I guess they could get away with it because of the makeup and all. Yes, he finished all of his scenes. Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News posted the following: QUOTE There's a lot of rumors swirling around right now in regards to Heath and where his involvement with THE DARK KNIGHT was. I got it confirmed from a source involved in Post-Production on THE DARK KNIGHT. Heath's post work was complete. He had indeed finished it. It was eerie how much his Joker looked like Brandon Lee's Crow. They both died way too young. R.I.P Heath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Sawyer Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I heard on the radio this morning that some radical religious group planned to protest any kind of public memorial service for Heath because of his role in Brokeback Mountain. As if his family has enough to deal with and grieve over... RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) I've never really seen him in films, only in A Knights Tale, and he had promise in that. I'd imagine I'd feel it such a sad waste after I've seen The Dark Knight. My condolensces to his family, friends, and his little girl. Such a terrible thought she'll never really know her Dad.

Stratford Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 RIP Heath I am not good at poetry I'm really awful at rhymes You thrilled and entertained me Probably a million times This world lost a gentleman A valiant, beautiful knight I would give anything To have you return tonight Although I never met you I cannot forget your smile Your confidence and dignity You engendered class and style I found strength in your brown eyes The expression on your face Forgive me if I've fallen For a man so full of grace The legacy you've left Could last a hundred years I reflect on the good times As I fight back these tears So I bid thee farewell My deepest sympathies You have enriched my life Thanks for the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not acknowledged with any actual Baptist churches, by the way. They are bascially anti-everything. Literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be some sort of database that shows all precriptions written to a patient, so various doctors know what they are dealing with when they are pushing these powerful drugs off on people. These drugs are like loaded guns. This is true, but how far do you go to control such things? Valium is a relatively harmless sleeping drug, but any overdose of it, on its own, can kill. I know, my mother did it. Its possible to kill yourself with paracetamol (acetminophen I think it's called over in US/Canada), but you can buy the stuff over the counter at any drug store. I admit that lots of different drugs in combination can kill or do serious harm, and the doc's should not be issuing lots of different drugs, but I'll bet he didn't get all these from the same doctor. The word 'accidental is used here, but how do you 'accidentally' OD on 4+ different drugs? - also valium is a sleeping aid, so why take more DIFFERENT sleeping drugs??

These drugs are like loaded guns. Agreed. Especially oxycontin. Oxycontin is synthetic morphine and just as addictive and doctors give them out like M&Ms. I specifically told my doc that I refuse to take that crap. Vicodin, too, it's almost as bad.
