In memorium
Heath Ledger’s tragic death really shook things up, ya know? It was a year ago today. Headline News seemed to be reporting on the event all day, as if it were the new 9/11, as far as I can remember. Days and weeks went by, and you had to avoid the television — and, really, all major news outlets — if you wanted to avoid his face.
Weeks and months went by, and blah blah blah. The Dark Knight was released in theatres, and it we had a chance to see one of Ledger’s most amazing portrayals ever, as well as, hands down, the best Joker to come alive on the silver screen.
Last night, someone close to the personal lives of About 12 Minutes passed away. It’s always sad to hear about death. It’s worse when it hits close to home. I find myself thinking about other things. It’s my coping mechanism. And, yes, my coping mechanism is to think about other men. But it’s okay, because it’s more like, a man who tragically died before his time.
I’m Not There
Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Ben Whishaw, are all Bob Dylan.
Sure, this movie came out in November, 2007, but I have yet to see it, and it seems quite a feat to get all of these actors to be Bob Dylan.
