“The Dark Knight”, boosted by breathless major reviews and Heath Ledgers final kick ass performance, earned almost 160 million in the US and another 40 million overseas for a weekend that broke 9 major box office records, including the two big ones, Biggest Single Day ever ($67.85 million) and Biggest Opening Weekend ever ($155.340). Blah blah blah…Heath Ledger ruled in this movie and too bad he had to die because he was too depressed..At least we get to see him hanging from a wire and laughing in his last onscreen performance..Dakota Fanning will always be my favorite next to Heath..Long lived the Joker..Not bad for 198 Million for the weekend..
One of the big secrets…The Dark Knight is what Gotham District Attorney Harvey Dent will look like once he’s transformed into Two-ShitFace. Here’s a picture of the answer. Its gross so beware, it might give you nightmare when your looking at the guys face the next time your fucking or maybe that girls face..
The new trailer for The Dark Knight isn’t supposed to be released until Sunday, but due to technological advancements in cell phones and the magic of the Internet, you can see it today. It looks freakin’ amazing, of course, and by the way, I’m calling it now Heath Ledger will win Best Supporting Actor whether he deserves it or not. The only way he could be more of a lock is if The Joker had down syndrome or could only write with his left foot.
The Sydney Morning Herald says that Heath Ledger was taking the prescription sleeping pill Stilnox when he died. Called Ambien in the United Stetes, the pill has been controversial in Australia recently because of several bizarre and potentially dangerous reactions.
Some 500 people described odd behaviors from walking, crashing cars, having sex and falling from balconies after popping a pill.
In November, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) reduced pack sizes and updated its warnings on the drug to protect people from its “worrying and potentially dangerous adverse effects”.
The most serious of the newly-listed side-effects included “rage reactions, worsened insomnia, confusion, agitation, hallucinations and other forms of unwanted behaviour”.
TMZ among others reported yesterday that Ledger may have had pneumonia when he died. The product information for Stilnox warns against taking the medicine if you have a severe respiratory condition and shortness of breath, which pneumonia can obviously cause. Others causes for shortness of breath include seeing my buns, but that is not believed to be a consideration at this time.
Us magazine has a quick rundown of what has now been confirmed by Paul Browne, the Deputy Commissioner for Public Information of the New York Police Department.
The deceased was discovered by a masseuse and a housekeeper at approximately 2:45 p.m. today.
The masseuse was there for a regular appointment.
The deceased was found in his bedroom.
The deceased was lying on the floor, curled up, at the foot of his bed.
The deceased was naked and face down.
There were not pills found scattered around the room as had been previously reported.
There were some prescription bottles, including prescription sleeping medication, uncovered.
Hmm. A masseuse. Naked. Bedroom. Pills. A kick ass New York apartment. They probably should have made this death sound less fun.
