Remembering Heath Ledger


Nine years ago today, Heath Ledger passed away in his New York apartment. Today is a sad day for Heath fans around the world, and for those who knew him on a personal level - his friends and family, even moreso. He was a fine actor, a fine friend, son, brother and human being in general. He was very down to earth, always willing to give a helping hand to whoever needed it, and always willing to apologise when he felt he needed to, even if years had passed. He was gentle and loving, and this helped him delve into his acting roles and find universal truths within them. When he died, he had been working on his directorial debut which would have starred Ellen Page. We are never to know what kind of director Heath would have been, but being the perfectionist that he was, I'm sure he wouldn't have given up and he would have continued exploring film and other art forms.

Today I will watch a couple of his films (Candy and Brokeback Mountain) and pay tribute to Heath's memory. Heath Ledger RIP.

cornelia!! heath was truly one of a kind. immensly talented. sad loss. I sincerely apoligise fo having played around imdb before now you are on my friends list and will never be removed. you remember univgirl though,she deleted her account some years ago. females, australian, american, korean can have collective charactersitics according to their country of origin. I could not find a better reference for american girls than univgirl. also imdb now allows you to put up a photo id, and she put up hers for about three hours and took them down I saw them. she put up two and she is attractive but can look dorky sometimes. she is also of white hispanic in ethnicity and will be in her 30's now. I do hope you saved some kind of contact with her.

I have been watching channel seven's morning news in australia on yahoo seven. I am a lot better now that I have reconnected with australia thanks to you.

they play heath's movies on cable channel here sometimes. maybe I will rent one.

Hiya different_Son_of_God! Nice to hear from you! 

No, I have no idea how Univgirl looked and I didn't even know she was American. No, I have no contact with her or anybody on this board, actually. She probably just made a new account with a different name.

Anyway it seems like the IMDB message boards will be closed for good in a couple of weeks. Sad, isn't it?

Hopefully they will change their minds, because I doubt ANYONE will go to IMDB at all if they disable the message boards. I believe there is a petition we can sign asking them not to close the message boards, though I doubt Amazon/IMDB will care.

Here's the petition:

In anycase, someone here has made an IMDB page in Reddit, so I've signed up as Cornelia123IMDB. Maybe I'll find you there too, hey? Here's the page:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IMDbFilmGeneral/

I've never used reddit before, so I'll probably only ever use it ocasionally. Maybe see you there too. 

I'm off on holiday to Australia soon, so by the time I come back this board will be dead (or fingers crossed hopefully not). So take care Different Son of God...it was lovely knowing you here over the years. At the end of the day, people are the same everywhere, more or less. You're either good or bad, smart or stupid, etc.  If I don't see you around here or reddit, God bless! 

hey cornelia nice to hear from you too!

of course we should keep in contact, we go back a long way. I think IMDB will just go ahead with their decision to close the message boards so I also made a reddit account, name is songod2. I never used reddit either so we will see how that goes. about univgirl, well I am sure I would recognise her if I saw her. she lives in texas, US.

yes people are more or less the same everywhere but sometimes the differences make it work as a whole.

have a good time in australia, I might go down there soon also. cheers.
