Jake is Back; Heath Wins

Heath Ledger wins posthumous oscar for Best Supporting Actor for the The Dark Knight.  Wow, it’s about time.  He really should have won Best Actor for his portrayal as Ennis Del Mar.  As the Joker, he was off the scale.  He was just that awesome.

As for his BBM Mate:

Whoa, is that the Gyllenhaal.  Jake hasn’t look this good in quite some time.  I guess life is treating him wonderful.  Wishing you and Reese a heap of best wishes.

Heath Ledger and TDK

Get Well, soon, Morgan Freeman.

Slash could not ever be part of the conversation, my colleagues at work, however, are definitely movie goers.

So we were talking about The Dark Knight at work and one of my colleagues hated it, hated it, hated it. Um, yeah. I got the point so I asked her why.

It was Heath Ledger’s interpretation of the Joker. She loves serial killer type movies and the fact that HL made the Joker more a serial killer made her upset. That was not how she saw the Joker. She prefers Jack Nicholson’s version.

I was cool with her assessment because you know, not everyone will enjoy HL version. But she went on to say that HL became too engrossed in creating the Joker and for that reason he committed suicide.

Woah, kill me already. I had to stay calm and said the man accidentally overdosed on prescription drugs. And can we please not talk about how he died. From what I read HL had the tendency to become very involved in his creations and isn’t that what good actors do.

We moved the conversation away from death to talk more about the movie. But this got me to wondering how many others out there may feel the same as she does about HL death, that he committed suicide.

Note: We did agree, when the Joker, dressed in a dress came out of the hospital. It was hilarious and more like the comical Joker we’re used to seeing.

TDK

The reviews for The Dark Knight are awesome. I will be seeing this movie soon. Have to go back to D.C. Don’t want to, but it’s for business, not pleasure. In all fairness, called bro and asked him to go with me. Stinker. He was walking inside the theater to see TDK as we were speaking. Out on a date. I guess he deserves going out after the long and whiny breakup with his wife.

Even colleagues at work are interested in TDK. Woah! One of them called wanting to know more about this special award The Powers will be bestowing on Heath Ledger. I didn’t have a clue then, and still don’t. I try not searching the net while at work. Maybe someone on my Flist knows.

This I do know, TDK took in more than $155.0 million dollars and completely shattered American Box Office weekend record.

Go Heath! I hope you’re smiling down on us.

Gyllenhaal and Ledger

It appears that Jake is now working on his latest film, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Looking good, Jakey. He apparently is growing out the hair, too, and well he seems very, very happy. Jake and sister, Maggie, will be honoring Heath Ledger at the upcoming premiere of The Dark Knight.

I must say I can’t wait for the movie to air in theater. I’ve always been an admirer of Heath Ledger films and the word is he owns the part as the Joker.

As sad as his tragic death was, I am so glad Ledger had the opportunity to show his talent and to star in another great film.

What Would You Do For A Buck

Sell your soul to the devil.

Some clichés are apropos. This one is fitting. Rag newspapers, and scumbags paparazzi making a video off a manipulated situation.

I don’t like preaching to the choir. This stuff rubs me raw, though.

During the video shoot, Heath didn’t know at the time he was being filmed. Two paparazzi setup Heath by putting a bag of cocaine on the table. They do the snorting. Heath had no clue these men were paparazzi. Heath’s fans know how much he despised them. When he did find out, he asked for the tape and never got it.

But it isn’t just Heath. It’s people, man. Being setup or having what should be private publicized in full display on the net. Like Google mapping properties of owners without their consent. Leaving breadcrumbs for the crazies to do at will.

I love technology. I dislike technology intensely when used for the bad. There is a limit, and it’s called ethics and morals. Maybe we should turn it around and capture the complete life of these same scumbags. Put their lives on full display for the world to see. Every single event, every single action. A complete invasion of privacy.

Who knows. They’d probably like it. Because, hey, no morals, no ethics. What do they care about except for the almighty buck?

Ledger Family Feuds over Heath’s Estate

Oh man, unhappiness ensues in the Ledger family. Apparently, Heath’s father, Kim, has a horrible track record in managing money. Kim’s brothers are now speaking out against Kim and based on history, they may yet have him removed as the executor.

Kim, please remember, that’s Matilda Rose’s future you’re messing with.
