GODDAMN YOU

AUGH the word is Indiana Jones IV trailer won't be out until fucking Valentine's Day... FUCK VALENTINES DAY

This year I am definitely hating on it with all the fucking advertising (a week before Christmas! fuck you!) and utter douchetastic people I've had to deal with lately in that regard.

GODDAMNIT, LIKE THE SUPERBOWL WASN'T FUCKING LONG ENOUGH!

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH



Also for some reason I realized it would be strange to see my dad without a moustache. =^0_o^=

It's like studying Shakesperian tragedy, or something; strangely haunting but very distant

Sooo... Heath Ledger's dead.

I dunno how I feel about this. I was kind of shocked, because he seemed to have pretty good movies and be generally a pretty good guy. And I'm sort of upset because I have a lot of respect and love for the Nolan brothers' Batman, and his Joker looks awesome. (Are they even finished filming? I'd think so, with the trailer out...) But at the same time, the only other movie I could have told you he was in was Brokeback Mountain, although Brothers Grimm and A Knight's Tale are ones I've seen as well, which I like very much. (Just didn't realize it was him--if I don't particularly like an actor, their movies tend to not stick in my head. Heck, even if I do they don't.) So, I never really watched for news of him or anything, so it doesn't really affect me much, other than making me a little upset that Dark Knight and Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus might be affected. =/ That's probably seemingly rude to say, but it's not like I knew this guy on any sort of personal level. ([EDIT3] Oh, and I'm Not There, which I really wanted to see because Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett were in it, as well as Ledger who I had recognized as being awesome for being chosen as the Joker. But I still seem indifferent, and if less so only because I didn't realize how much faith I put in the Nolan brothers after watching the amazing plotlines of Batman Begins and The Prestige, even though I totally knew I did.)

So honestly, it's just rather surreal, and not even in a paranoid "something's not right here" type of way. It's just... huh. Odd. Like it should have been someone else? Like I should care more, rather than just turning around and going about my business? Something like that. *shrug*

It really is sad for his two-year-old daughter, though. =( I bet it would be weird to be watching successful movies and going "hey, that's my dad," and that being the only way you know him. That's fucking creepy, and sad.

Sadder/creepier? It seems like the emotion he put into his work--really living the character--is what did him in. From everything I've read so far (I know, it's been less than 24 hours, how reliable are these sources), it seems like playing such a psychopathic and strange Joker really messed him up. Apparently he did an interview saying that his "inconsistency" (to make it scary) caused him to sleep terribly, and that taking two Ambien only helped him sleep for an hour or so. Which, if you look at that fact next to the fact that he died next to a bunch of sleeping pills, seems very tragic and unfortunate, but it does say something for how dedicated he was to his work, and why he was such a good actor. ([EDIT2] Apparently he was researching for a drug-addict role as well? Even more tragic, but I still can't look at it with anything more than a studious interest.)

Um, so... yeah. Life goes on? I will watch the Dark Knight and will probably think about how surreal it is that he's no longer alive, but that's because I do have that weird morbid twinge. (So it's interesting that I'm compelled to write this much--I think I should care more than I do.)

Huh.

[EDIT] Actually, it kind of reminds me of how I felt when someone told me (Saturday morning before a football game) that Steve Irwin had died. More like it was a trivia fact than anything, and it seems tragic for the rest of your life every time you think about it, but not at first.

Still. Huh.

[EDIT4] Apparently he'd had pneumonia, too. Which really just makes it more of a tragedy, almost a Victorian one, in my mind. What a loss.

I really need to do my homework. =/

Interesting, though;

Someone pointed out that it's interesting to think about which celebrities are going to make you cry when they die. Honestly, I don't know if any will. I've kept myself so removed from celebrities my whole life that I'm not sure any of them could make me cry if they died*. But there are definitely a lot I would get upset over. I suppose I just don't understand how people connect so much and put so much emotion into a relationship with someone they've never met and likely never will--but that's the logical side of things talking. I don't hate celebrities or anything, I rather like a lot of them.

Off the top of my head, Dick Van Dyke is probably closest to making me cry, because he's one of my favorite actors. Other celebrities on the "would still have an impact" list: Jimmy Buffett, Billy Joel, Harrison Ford, Hugh Laurie, Christian bale, Hugh Jackman, Karen Allen, Mike Meyers, umm... I totally suck at coming up with celebrities for any kind of list. D= I know I have a whole list somewhere of "my favorite actors," but I'm totally failing right now. Bill Nighy, Dustin Hoffman, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller... Also, yes, I know, my celebrity list is mostly guys. But there really aren't a lot of actresses or singers out there who impress me a whole hell of a lot. OH, Idina Menzel, Kristen Chenowith, Rick Moranis, Dan Aykroyd, Sean Connery, Steve Martin, Johnny Depp... see, here we're getting into the whole thing where I either like celebrities a lot or I don't like them at all. So, maybe that's why I'm so indifferent? Anyway, I guess I'll continue the list of celebrities I like: Eric Idle, John Cleese, Brendan Fraser, John Rhys Davies, Alan Menken (OK--good chance I will cry here), James Marsden, Ewan MacGregor, Liam Neeson. Also I want to add in Shia LeBeouf and Zac Efron but want to point out that that might be even more tragic, and that if anything I would be creeped out and probably in emotional shock for a day or so because they're my age. To continue; it's easier to name of actors/actresses than anything else because you can think of their faces, and also I'm terrible with musicians. But I would be horribly upset, I'm sure, if most any of the musicians I listen to were to die. I think I'm going to stop here because I feel guilty naming off all these actors and nothing else. =/ (But seriously, I even went through a lot of the movies I've seen and I really don't like that many female actors. Sandra Bullock maybe? It's just hard for me to name them... actresses' characters often just seem too lame for me, I think.) Uh, WOODY ALLEN. D= Roger Moore. Almost forgot some serious ones like that. (See, I don't have any list of older movies to go through, and how many of them are dead anyway I don't know. I am a bad fan, unless I'm totally obsessed with it.)
