IDBillzFan Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I don't know if you have kids, but I'll bet you $100 that if given 20 or 30 minutes to interview you, I could come up with at least 3 things you're doing right now in your life that cavalierly place your child at greater risk for being fatherless than you should be doing. I would bet you another $100 that when I tell you what those three things are, you'd tell me that it doesn't mean you love your child any less because of it. Jesus, AJ, which such a sad and pessimistic thought process, you'd figure you'd have found the Ledger joke hysterical. I got news for you AJ, you can interview anyone for 20 minutes and find fault with them. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got news for you AJ, you can interview anyone for 20 minutes and find fault with them. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Exactly...people do things all the time that place them at risk for an untimely departure. It doesn't mean they aren't trying their best to fight their demons as best they know how, or that they don't love their kids as much as they should, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I'm the exact opposite of someone who is pessimistic and sad...it just surprises me sometimes how people can laugh at things. I still remember back when Selena was killed...I was riding in the car the next day listening to howard stern, and he had gunfire noises going off in the background. It gave me a sick feeling in my stomach. I laugh at a lot of the stuff you say on here...the sense of humor among TBD'ers is probably what I like best about this site. I just didn't happen to care much for your most recent joke, and it got me thinking...sue me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 That's a very cynical view, IMO. Sure, many people take recreational drugs because they enjoy getting high, and bad things happen. They know what they're getting into and sometimes you play with fire a bit too much. But not everyone has selfish reaons for using drugs. Some people have anxiety issues, sleep issues, stress issues, depression issues, etc, etc that only medications have proven to be effective, and these people often times have bad results, too. When I think about Heath Ledger's death, I think about his little girl who will never have her father for the rest of her life. To me, that is tragic. I don't really see anything funny about it...that's just me. I'm probably a bit of a hypocrite, though, cause sometimes when someone posts a Darwin award story I find it funny. I guess I tend to take it situation by situation....and having seen his daughter in photos, that's what I think of. If your glass was half full, you might think she was lucky not to be raised by a guy who couldn't get through a day without a cocktail of illicit drugs coursing through his system. Just another way of looking at it. Of course, I thought the "pale" joke was funny as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if I viewed someone as dumb, as not loving their kid, as having wasted "the good life", etc, it would probably be easier to make fun of that person. I don't have that particular view of Ledger, so I guess that's partly why it's not all that funny. It's also because I spend forty hours a week on the other side of it, and a lot of the time the victims deserve a lot more credit than they tend to get. Aside from that, I tend to see the humor in as much a possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Speaking of trailers, it looks like the next wave of the viral campaign will lead to the new trailer. People in London who participated on the ground for the event were moved to a theater were they were shown the new trailer. I'm sure it'll be online by the middle of the day tomorrow.

I went to the whysoserious site and noticed the instructions for participants in each city were given yesterday and the "numbers" people were supposed to get would allow them to open a "safe" on the website that I assume would allow them to see the new trailer?

The safes gave some letters for a a code that lead to the address for the next website with a duck shooting game, which seems to be down right now. After figuring that out, it sends you to this page. So it looks like the trailer will be released on sunday, but it has leaked to youtube in a few places. Good luck finding it because I'm sure it'll be posted and pulled a ton of times. edit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 because the equation/definition of "Comedy" is: humor = tragedy + time and im not trying to be cute. im dead serious. that is a well known, well taught definition. and i hardly classify some dumb actor who had the world handed to him flushing it all away for some pills/blow a "tragedy" MLK jr being shot, tragedy 9/11, tragedy some dumb 27 year old partying too much for his own good =/= tragedy i guess im in the opposite boat aj. i dont understand this celebrity infatuated society weeping for days on CNN because anna nicole OD'ed. its sad for her family, i guess. but if people are going to force this stuff on me, im not going to join in their pity party. no matter what celebrity OD's, i still have to go to work tomorrow. as do the rest of us. Is'nt that what Alan Alda said in "Crimes & Misdemeanors"? "If it BENDS, it's funny. If it BREAKS, it's not funny." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Three more months???? Relax aj. There are plenty of movies inbetween to tide you over. The release date still puzzles me for this movie. The middle of July? Not Memorial Day weekend, the second biggest weekend of the year for movies. Not mid-June, when schools let out. Not 4th of July weekend. I guess Warner Bros. knows what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
