The Joker has leapt off the Brokeback Mountain.

Heath Ledger has passed away today. That's a damn shame. He was a fine actor and from what I understand an upstanding fellow. It seems to be still unclear whether this was an accident or not and apparently sleeping pills were involved. I guess Heath had been complaining a lot about not being able to stop his thoughts and going through a period of sleeping very little to not at all for a long period. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happened.

Being a huge fan of Terry Gilliam, it is also sad to hear that Heath was going to be in Terry's next project of which he was already in the middle of filming. It would have been very cool to see what Heath's talents could bring to a Terry movie.

Such is life. We are but fragile creatures.
