Hasn't He Suffered Enough?

This story is all too tragic...and all to familiar. A bright light diminished before it's time, in the prime of it's youth. Because of Heath Ledger's recent passing:

Production on Heath's most recent film, the Terri Gilliam-directed The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, has been shut down.

When will God stop punishing this man? I mean, for Chrissakes, the same untimely ends happen to his legimate film projects as happen to my ideas for screenplays while they are still rolling around inside my head. The man cannot catch a break.

Rest In Peace

...another Gilliam film taken from us before it's time.

A Special Thank You...

(Of course, the Iowa caucus is pure bunk. But ya gotta start somewhere.)
