tear.

Totally out of left field. But now Jack nicholson can play the joker again :) I'm rejoicing inside a little, but I wonder what the fuck happened. Its sad to die so young.




EDIT: Apparantly he was at Mary Kate Olsen's appartment and lindsay lohan was found there as well. Mary Kate's housekeeper found the body surrounded by pills. Said to be OTC sleeping pills.

Thats sad. But if it were from drugs, then who really fucking cares?

edit: Im not saying it was necessarily. But 28 year old males who are in decent shape dont die to often from natural causes.

[TwoJ's]

Yeah, I just google'd. That's crazy. Suicide or accident?

Yeah, I just google'd. That's crazy. Suicide or accident?

Unconfirmed, people are blaming drugs or a brain aneurysm I guess.

Like Brad Renfro last week.

Wow this is sad.

I am pretty sure Dark Knight is done filming.

Update at the top of the thread.

Like Brad Renfro last week.

Who???

Another useless tweaker baggy pants actor?

[Desaevious]

So did they finished filming Dark Knight or what? I thought they had but if not this definitely is a MAJOR set back. As I watched the trailer/preview before I Am Legend I thought his take on the Joker was pretty good.

[h0lmes]

Apparently the NY Times retracted the Mary Kate Olsen apartment claim. The police are saying signs are showing that it was a suicide.

[hugh jass]

What a drag. The guy was a great actor.
