Heath Ledger 1/22/08

Well young Australian actor Heath Ledger passed away earlier today. I actaully did two different versions of the CITW because until I looked at his imdb I didn't remember he was in Monster's Ball. The original version is about his career I did remember and no I didn't do a bad Brokeback Mountain joke. If you don't get the second version go back and watch Monster's Ball again and you'll know what I'm talking about. Heath Ledger playing The Joker is still the part I'm most looking forward to seeing in any movie this year that I haven't seen already. When I saw they cast him in that part I thought he could do a pretty bang up job because of his acting chops. RIP Heath.


Goodbye Heath Ledger
Though I knew you pretty well
Saw you play a knight long ago
Quite a career history would tell
You crawled out from down under
With a dream in your hand
Then Jack Twist said,
“I wish I knew how to quit you.” again.

And it seemed to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Can’t wait to see the Dark Knight
Cause you’ll do the Joker right my friend
And I would have liked to have known you
So would my little kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your short impressive acting career ever did

or

And it seemed to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Don’t remember you in Monster’s Ball
But the scene with the bird cage I surely did
And I would have liked to have known you
So would my little kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your short impressive acting career ever did
