I am sure most every one has heard by now that Heath Ledger died yesterday. It's weird normally actors, entertainers, stars dying doesn't effect me, but for some reason his death does bother me. Probably in the same way River Phoenix's death bothered my parents. Someone with loads of talent dying way to soon. If I was alive when Jimmy Hendrix, John Bonham, or Jim Morrison died, I'm sure I would have felt the same (probably worse). And not that he's in the same category as those guys, but he is a great entertainer that will be missed.

And as Jim Morrison once said “I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then- whoosh, and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me- ever.”

It think this is a very fitting quote to what Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker will be. I only hope that Hollywood doesn't edit his performance due to his death.

Oh and by the way I thought after seeing the trailer a couple months ago that Heath Ledger had a good chance at an Oscar. That still stands.
