I P Knightley Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 IF his death is due to drugs, then he's a selfish ba5t4rd. He's got a 2-year-old daughter. Edit: I realise that I jumped to a conclusion that he died due to substance abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 A shame. He did quite a famous scene in '10 things I hate about you', singing 'Can't take my eyes off you'. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart MacD Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 He was good in "Two Hands" and "A Knight's Tale" was enjoyable fluff. I fell asleep shortly into "Bareback Mountain". I saw the headline in the local free rag this afternoon "Heath Dead" and thought it strange as they don't usually headline politicians, and I was sure the Grocer died years ago.

Darth Sidious Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hope The Joker is killed off at the end of The Dark Knight or they could have a tricky recasting for sequels.

Sorry, doesnt really leave me with any emotion. Agree. The fact that it was the top story on the Radio 2 news provoked a more emotive response from me rather than the actual piece itself.

coppercrutch Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Can we have an RIP thread please ? I once saw a film he was in. His death puts it all into persepctive. I don't know why or how but I will say it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 BBC lunchtime news had him as 'one of the finest actors of his generation'. Utter crap. What the hell would they say if De Niro, Paccino or Arnie died? And what about Travolta? 'He was my favourite actor and touched me deeply within with his talent'. OK the guys dead, nobody's happy about it but there's no need for this guff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK the guys dead, nobody's happy about it but there's no need for this guff. The key word there being 'generation'. Those you have mentioned weren't in his generation. Imo he was one the finest. Who esle would be up there? Zach Braff maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's an average actor at best, around at a time when every else in his 'generation' is worse? Just looking at the Movie bible IMDb and notice only 2 of his films score more than 7/10 - Brokeback Mountain and Monsters Ball. The reason I looked is between 5 of us last night we could only name 5 films he'd been in. The finest actor of his generation? He's the Corey Feldman of his generation imo.
