I’m sorry if this is a bit callous or sacrileges. I mean any death is tragic but news of Hollywood celebrities (and celebrities in general) have made me jaded. And at the moment we don’t know the cause of death. More likely an accidental overdose than an intentional one.
Heath Ledger recently completed work on the next Batman movie where he plays the Joker. It will be creepy to watch him on screen knowing that this was his final film. Though it didn’t quite creep me out seeing Brandon Lee in the Crow (which visually reminds me of Heath’s Joker.)
I went down to Dallas last week to give a marketing presentation as part of the big company wide 2008 kick-off meeting at Planet Tan. More Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders will grace the ads again this year. I was there for Dallas ignominious defeat to the Giants. Needless to say New Yorkers were not very welcome in Dallas that weekend.
