27 Dresses

That James Marsden is quite adorable. I never liked him in X-Men, but thought he handled the role of Lois' paramour quite well. And, pretty funny in Enchanted. Here, in 27 Dresses, he played a reporter.

Two words:marry me.

Oh, and that girl that plays Izzie on Grey's wasn't too bad either with the comedic timing.

Grandmother: Must be so hard to watch your younger sister get married before you.
Jane: Yes. Then I remember that I still get to have hot hate sex with random strangers and I feel SO much better!

Heath Ledger, dead at 28



RIP.


This fucking sucks.
Heath Ledger, the Australian-born actor whose breakthrough role as a gay cowboy in the 2005 movie “Brokeback Mountain” earned him a nomination for an Academy Award and comparisons to the likes of Marlon Brando, was found dead Tuesday in an apartment in Manhattan with sleeping pills near his body, the police said.

The police said Mr. Ledger, 28, was found naked on the floor near the bed in an apartment in SoHo that he had been renting. The chief police spokesman, Paul J. Browne, said the police did not suspect foul play.

I'll admit it. I am a aprt of this cult of celebrity. I wept at the news. Maybe for the same reason as these folks said in this NYTimes story:

Others in the crowd said their first reaction was disbelief. Nicole Vaughan, 24, a law student at New York University, was in a seminar about Jesus when someone sent her a message about Mr. Ledger. She checked the Web, then walked to the apartment “because of the way our generation is; we sort of feel we’re a part of each other’s lives.”

Vanessa Yuille, 29, a record-company manager who lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, said her vigil outside the apartment building was a way of paying tribute to what Mr. Ledger did the night she saw him in a Williamsburg restaurant last summer. “A guy fell off a motorcycle in front of the restaurant,” she said, “and it was Heath Ledger who went to see if the guy was all right.”


Does it make it any different if he killed himself? Or if it was an OD by accident? Or a by-product of pneumonia? Does it? Why so serious, Joker? Why so serious?
