"Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine."

That much stuff running through your system can't be good for your mind.

So, there's talk about Ledger getting an award for his performance in TDK.

There's also talk about not giving it to him due to his personal issues.

Thoughts?

I don't think he'll care either way.

EDIT for actual response in addition to my terrible joke: I really don't see what his "personal problems" have to do with his awesome performance. If the performance shines, award it. It's not their job judge peoples' vices and personal lives, it's their job to judge their performance on-screen.

I should also add that I don't know what award you're referring to, so I'm assuming a high profile Oscar type thing.

It wasn't terrible, I LOL'ed.

If he didn't get an oscar for Brokeback Mountain I don't see why he should get one now. The sad thing is that he will probably get it.

Is this movie really so great? It doesn't appeal to me at all. I guess that makes me homophobic or something, but I just have no interest in it.

Would you want to see the movie if one of the leads was a girl?

Maverick · « **Reply #155 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:50:19 AM »

No. Total chick flick.

Stogi · « **Reply #156 on:** August 04, 2008, 04:29:43 AM »

If the chick was absolutely gorgeous then maybe.

If she were half-naked as well? For sure.

The movie is an acquired taste. But acting wise his character impressed me more than the Joker. Still, is a drama, and its really slow, so it's not exactly along what comic book fans like about Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. The cinematography is really great also. Definitely worth a look but don't expect anything beyond a "chick flick" to be honest, albeit a really good one.

Two guys in a tent is now a chick flick?

Currently Dark Knight is #1 movie of the Summer. And within a week it should hit the 400 Million Dollar mark.

With 94% its one of the few movies to be BOTH a HUGE BLOCKBUSTER and LOVED by Critics.

3 Weeks in a Row at #1.

This is a real achievement and the discussion in this thread needs to change from stupidity to talk about this .

The movie is still EPIC FAIL, as it has not surpassed Titanic in total ticket sales by quantity. When it reaches $900 million in sales, then we'll talk about achievements.

I bet more people have seen TDK in theaters than Titanic - you've got to take into account the girls that went to see Titanic 10+ times while it was at the movies.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #164 on:** August 06, 2008, 04:28:05 PM »

Also Titanic was a really good movie. ::hides::

Like if there wasn't enough fanboys that are around their 10th viewing for TDK.

Yeah but the difference is...it doesn't have the oh-so-dreamy Leo DiCaprio in it, it has the...oh-so-dreamy Christian Bale. Am I gay?

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #169 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:34:20 PM »

Titanic was a good movie...and in many respects it was a great movie.

The problem with Titanic is it is not as good as the hype or as good as the sales and everything makes of it.

To me Titanic is like Forest Gump another great movie, that just doesn't live up to its hype, and although both movies are great and I enjoyed watching them the first time, I can't bring myself to watch them again.

Maverick · « **Reply #170 on:** August 07, 2008, 02:03:14 AM »

Yeah except that Forrest Gump IS a great movie and can and should be watched multiple times.

The last eight posts of this thread made me vomit in my own mouth.

You'd be gay if you didn't have a man crush on Christian Bale

I'm sure they're well aware of that, Evan. Your post reminded me why I don't come on NWR as often as before.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #174 on:** August 07, 2008, 03:16:42 AM »

How on earth did this film get a 12A?
The 12a rating means kids BELOW age 12 can go when supervised with someone older. It's a good film and all but this should have been a 15.
