Sorry, Oprah, I Want to Talk About Heath

346. "Lets further help the public to be stupid and unaware. Nice one Pres Bush."

Right. That was totally his motivation for canceling. Think about the country we live in. Had he gone on this campaign in the days following Heath's death, people would have absolutely raised hell about him capitalizing on such a tragic event. He's not trying to further any stupidity, merely trying to stave off some unnecessary hatred.

As for the rest of you who have convinced yourselves that Heath was a junkie who got what he deserved...do any of you have jobs? Do you contribute anything relevant to society? What, did Heath run over your dog then spit in your face? There is absolutely no reason for the abhorrent comments. A life has been lost long before its time. Period. End of story. Why are you so bothered by the fact that, God forbid, someone else express their sorrow for an untimely event?

347. #336 Back -- I hope that was a joke. It hurt my eyes to read. Seriously, please invest in a dictionary and a "real" book on grammar. (I don't know how your own eyes don't hurt........) Sorry, you're incorrect on every count.

Anyway, to get back on topic, after these rude and incoherent interruptions -- DDL seemed sincere to me. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to fake it. He is an excellent actor, but still, I don't think it's an act.

Maybe Jack Nicholson should have been asked to reprise the role of the Joker. I read somewhere that, for whatever reason,
it took its toll on young Heath. True? Who knows? Jack seems to be doing fine though. Go figure.

348. Naughty,

I left the "but nice" out of your moniker just to make "Whoa" happy since she's such a hair-ball. Maybe she just needs someone to be nice to her, - this is as far as I go.

349. Vote For Me - HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah man. Cos Daniel Day Lewis cares so much about hsi image, it's why he makes a film every few years and prefers building things, why he never attends premieres other than his own, why he has no celebrity friends. This is Daniel Day-Lewis, the guy doesn't care about his image. He is only helping out PTA by promoting There will be Blood. The dude does a movie whenever he wants and doesn't even have to try since he's one of the best actors of all time.

350. Carrie (75), I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure Heath had no idea he was so loved and respected. It's quite revealing when such a disguished and amazing actor like Daniel, who didn't know Heath, is so visibly upset - it just compounds what I ready think, that Heath was a unique talent. Personally I think his performance in Brokeback was beyond memorable, it touched me deeply and that is part of the reason his passing is so terribly sad, normal, function people are upset partly because of unfulfilled potential.

353. "whoa", now you're either a fool or a liar. All the info is there for even you to see. Since your excuse is your eyes hurt, I guess you'll just have to remain ignorant of the FACT that punctuation marks are NOT always within quotation marks. You're such a wanker. Are you on drugs or booze? no one can NATURALLY be that dumb and in denial.

354. That's fine "Whoa", but it's entirely up to you.

355. agreed :)

356. Hey Back, seriously, this whole thing got out of hand. If you read my original response to a whole other post (who I thought I was helping) maybe you would understand.........ah, who cares at this point, right? Life is too short, as we now well know. Thanks for accepting a truce. I really appreciate it. Hopefully, Naughty "but nice" :) will feel the same.

Best to both of you!

358. I too appreciate DDL's comments about Heath Ledger. They were sincere and tasteful and touching. For those of you who are totally off the subject and are making derogatory remarks about Oprah, what, I ask does that have to do with DDL's show if sympathy towards Heath Ledger??! Get a life--and take a look at the mirror before criticizing others. Oprah may be fat but her bank acct is even FATTER. So get over yourselves-ass-wipes!

359. I just hope her mother has the strength. That will carry both of them through (especially the mom) the tough times.

360. Pot Meet Kettle - Daniel Day Lewis doesn't care about limelight. Do you even watch movies? This dude makes a movie every 5 years after people beg him to do it.
