This morning I was watching the various news reports on the death of actor Heath Ledger-he was found dead under-at this point-mysterious circumstances-possibly an overdose of prescription pills-we don't know yet-but that hasn't stopped the feeding frenzy of the press-everyone has an opinion as to what happened and IF it DID happen the way they THINK it did,well "THIS is what we think about that"...
He hasn't even had an autopsy yet-no official report has been made- yet there are special news reports on his "apparent suicide"...
There are "friends" of his telling reporters about his severe depressions- about his recent separation,his daughter ,his work ...
"Did playing the psychotic villain, the Joker in the new Batman sequel,THE DARK KNIGHT kill Heath Ledger?"
...damn- let's just let the poor man's soul-troubled or not-rest in peace for just a LITTLE while...
OK?

Ledger Death Poses Problems for Warner Bros.

What certain people are going to interpret from seeing Ledger as the Joker is out of ANY body's control-it's gonna happen no matter what Warner Bros. does - and i hope they don't consider altering things just because of this tragedy- if anything the film should be considered a legacy-all advance word has stated the great performance the actor gives.
Hell,if it was a G rated Disney family comedy,where he plays a happy go lucky guy,with no problems in life people would find "ironic" elements in the story-no way of avoiding it.
