Tribute

This is one of the nicest tributes to Heath Ledger that I've come across, from Slate:

I'm Not There, the 2006 addiction drama Candy, and the tantalizingly creepy trailer for this summer's The Dark Knight all suggest that Ledger was learning to choose roles that took advantage of that peculiar quality he had of seeming at once larger than life and inwardly focused. In the years to come, I'm sure there'll be movies that make audiences think, damn, Heath Ledger could have nailed that role. So I won't opine on how sad it is that a gifted young man, someone's father and someone's son, lost his life at the threshold of a great career. I'll just say that the movies themselves will miss Heath Ledger.

I'm sure there's going to be a run on Brokeback Mountain this weekend at the video rental store. I think I'll try for 10 Things I Hate About You or A Knight's Tale.

Try The hunting party. Richard Gere and Cuba Gooding. You'll be laughing a lot even though it's about 3 journalists tracking down a war criminal

Thanks for the recommendation, Manuel. Looks like I'm seeing La Vie en Rose though tonight!
