I was really disappointed when The Joker (Jack Nicholson) died in the first Batman movie.
You see, in the comics, The Joker never dies. He just gets locked away in Arkham Asylum and keeps escaping or being released.
But there’s a new Batman Movie coming out. Batman: The Dark Knight. (can’t wait!)
Heath Ledger is playing the Joker.
Heath Ledger was found dead in a Manhattan apartment this morning (afternoon in NY)
Un-fucking-believable.
The Joker dies again.
Sad news. 
I always liked him. Seemed like a true Aussie.
Larrikin, Petulant, Quick Witted, Good drinker.
In 2006 when I was working in Washington, a story came through from the Toronto office.
The passport girls there were serving him at the counter as he was renewing his passport.
He asked, “So, is that everything you need?”
Spunky Passport girl says, “Yes, the photo you had provided is too small, so we’ll need another one of those…and a coffee”
So what does he do? He comes back with new photos…and a coffee.
Down-to-earth guy.
…
Pity about the drugs.

Very sad. What a talented man and no more. No doubt it will make many millions for the the owner of the movie rights. Seems a bit unfair that they get to profit from death.
You have a very nicely presented site.

I’m sad for his daughter… and embarrassed for myself that I only realised today her name is Matilda… not like that little girl witch from the Rohl Dahl book, but like Waltzing Matilda. DOH.

The whole Joker thing dying twice hadn’t occurred to me until you said it. Wrote it. Whatever.
Great blog. Amazing list of blogs. And I thought I had a long list on my blogroll….

But I will always think of Nicholson as the Joker.

Good site! I truly love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I’m wondering how I could be notified when a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your RSS feed which must do the trick! Have a great day! “You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.” by Eric Hoffer.
