Heath Ledger found dead... - Page 3

savereno · 02-07-2008, 04:01 PM

It is kind of funny, before Ledger died I had no idea he was in Brokeback Mountain, seriously. I knew that Gyllenhaal dude was, but not Ledger. I basically saw that a movie was made about two gay cowboys, thought "now there is a dumb idea" and paid it no more attention. I don't see what all the uproar is about. Did I know a movie about gay people would be big? Yeah, it is our culture. I haven't seen the movie...

I don't know, here is my point. A lot of gay jokes are made about it. Was it a good movie? Did he have a good role? I mean, the guy made several other movies and all I hear referenced is "Brokeback Mountain".

I saw "The Patriot", it was alright, two Aussies playing American soldiers in the Revolutionary War? He did a pretty good job though. Never saw "A Knights Tale", heard he did good in that. Saw "10 Things I Hate About You", pretty good for a teen flick, Julia Stiles gets on my last nerve though (don't know why, she just does).

I want to see "I'm Not There", and I wonder if "The Brothers Grimm" is any good... the previews looked good. Oh, and of course "Dark Knight", I heard a shit-ton about this before he died.

So tell me, out of all these roles, why is he remembered for being a gay cowboy? Probably the dullest of all his roles.

Good question! I didn't see the movie because I wasn't interested in the subject matter. Not interested in the whole gay/lesbian thing however it's presented. I don't want to see Alvin and the Chipmunks either.

Oh come on... it's Alvin and the mutha fuggin' Chipmunks! That one will probably be a movie to rent, I haven't seen many previews though, so I do not know if it appears to be good or bad. Of course I never saw Garfield, and that was voiced by none other than Mr. Get-Drunk-and-Drive-a-Golf-Cart Bill Murray.

Because it's funny.
Because it's an easy target.

C'mon. A movie about two gay dudes called BROKE BACK Mountain?!?!?!?

This is how I imagine that he got that role (at least it is humorous to me):

Director of gay cowboy movie: Heath, my man, my main man, the manliest of men...

Heath: What do you want?

Director: Have I got a role for you!

Heath: Shoot it at me you limey wank.

Director: Ok, picture this, two friends, good friends, they are cowboys... and you know how it gets cold? Well they become intimate...

Heath: They are gay?!

Director: Well, you could say gay, more like lovers... their friendship blossoms...

Heath: you want me to play a gay cowboy?

Director: Well, uh, sexually confused cowboy...

Heath: Hell n... gay cowboy?! Hell no!

Director: How about for $25 mil. (I don't really know what actors get offered).

Heath: Look man, you are wasting my time, I got this movie about coke dealers in Miami bro, you know what that means, Latin chicks and the beach. Besides, I played a Revolutionary War soldier... an American soldier, and I am Australian Mah Fugga, I played a friggin' knight, an outlaw, a skater punk, and I made out with Julia Stiles, I know at least five people who would want to do that. Ask that Orlando Bloom bloke, he is pretty fruity. Gay cowboys? What a dumb idea. Buggar off!

Director: I'll double what they are paying you.

Heath: Do I have to kiss a dude?

Director: Well, uh, yes, actually?

Heath: Add about five more zeros to that check buddy and you have yourself a deal, mate. I want five cases of Fosters a day, got that mate? And get those Olsen chicks over hear, I'll be their Uncle Jesse... if you know what I mean.

because it's 'risky'. Now a days everyone in Hornywood is looking to play gay or a drug addict just to win awards.

I still feel really sorry for his daughter. She has to grow up without her daddy.
