I heard he was dead last night round Alice's flat, and no-one could believe it. I know that I've never been a huge fan, but the upcoming Dark Knight made me get excited about him as an actor, and I was starting to think that he might be the next big thing in terms of actual acting talent. He was good in Brokeback Mountain, I'm Not There, The Brothers Grimm... I was actually becoming a bit of a fan. I'm still not a fan of his earlier films really, but appreciated them and knew a lot of people my age did. He seemed like a decent bloke. And I know thousands of people are dying everyday in worse circumstances, but for some reason his death has quite affected me. Unexpected, I suppose. He was only young.
I'm disgusted at the media coverage though. I'm sad to hear the news, but I could have waited at least a DAY before hearing it, not an hour after his death. With the fucking paparazzi hanging round his dead body like flies round a pile of dog shit. I forgot how much the media disgusts me sometimes. What a bunch of fucking cunts. Scum of the fucking Earth.
...and that's all I have to say? I know someone is going to post saying 'WILL EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HEATH?' soon, but for the moment I really am upset about it. I'm not bawling my eyes out... but it's just so unexpected and I was and still am extremely excited about The Dark Knight. It's going to be weird watching it now.
