R.I.P. Corey Haim

I saw this posted on a “a haiku a day” website here that said:

When Robert Frost wrote
“Nothing gold can stay,” he could
have described child stars.

Very true sentiment. He’ll always be Sam to me. I saw a bit of who Corey was through the t.v. show The Two Corey’s and saw how much he loved acting and how much it hurt him not to be working in his profession. When Feldman told Haim they did not want to use him in Lost Boys 2 it was so sad to see him break down, that was a dream of his and although he did make it into it, I’m sure its not what he envisioned for over 20 years. I may see part 2 eventually but nothing will ever be what the original was. R.I.P. Corey Haim.

Andy Hallet “Lorne” on Angel R.I.P.

I had not seen this until just now. Andy Hallett once lived in the Jossverse playing the role of “Lorne” on “Angel,” passed away at the age of 33 from Heart Failure. Andy played Lorne brilliantly and was a charming actor. Without him Angel would not have been the same, the character or the show itself. It’s truly a sad loss. R.I.P.

How I’ll Remember +++++++++++++ Heath Ledger

I’ve been in a Heath mood the last few days. I guess it’s all the award talk going on and what not, or the fact I’ve been using my desktop again which a picture of him as the Joker hangs behind. Either way I decided to post some images of how I’ll remember Heath Ledger.

Not So Bad Boy

  

  

First saw him in 10 Things I Hate About You, I believe. The typical bad boy, but not really a bad boy. His voice was charming, his smile was as bright as a Christmas tree, and his hair you wanted to run your hand through. I didn’t know who he was at the time, but I made sure to find out. Although he wasn’t perfect in his singing scene, he was absolutely adorable and I enjoyed it.

Sir William Thatcher

When I saw previews for A Knights Tale I made sure I was going to see it. He was comedic, and serious, and in love in this movie. He played every scene well.

 

I Think I’ve seen this movie over 20 times, but now its hard to watch. Whenever I see it’s on, my immediate reaction now is, “awe.” Sir William Thatcher will be missed.

Who He Was

        

  

           

    

  

Heath did what he liked, he was always himself. He never tried to act like someone he wasn’t. If he wanted to ride his skateboard around his neighborhood with some comfortable clothes he did. He did not need to dress up or get a driver, or drive around in a real massive car. People from the neighborhood he lived in always saw him casually going around like a normal guy.

His Most Important Role Ever

                             

When you see images of Heath with Matilda Rose, you see him the happiest he ever was. She looks just like a mini Heath, and it showed that she loved him just as much as he loved her.

Who He Was Becoming

       

  

                            

Heath was becoming the next leading man in Hollywood. Something he worked hard for, and at the same time I think he’d have been uncomfortable with the extra attention media wise. The Joker catapulted him to heights in which he deserved to have been a long time ago, its a shame Hollywood and the world lost it’s brightest leading man to date. Heath was on his way to a place he was born to go.

How I’ll Remember Heath

 

Smile. R.I.P. One of the Greats.

Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don’t remember me at all.” – Little House Episode Quote

So there’s my Heath tribute post. A great guy, a great actor, a great father. Maybe I’ll post a Heath of the Month picture.

Golden Globes Pre-Thought’s ++++ (Heath Ledger) etc.

So its Golden Globe night. I’ll watch it after its over via my DVR (commercial skipping!). I was looking at a list of nominees nad of course Heath Ledger is nominated. I hope he wins, not because he has passed way but because his performance as the Joker was as brilliant as the Joker is insane.

Heath had been in many movies already, done a TV Show (Roar), but he had not been in a huge mega blockbuster, the Dark Knight was his coming out as a major movie blockbuster star. I’d seen him in 10 Thing’s I Hate About You first i believe, and was immediately drawn to his character, and when he started signing although not his best performance lol still it was adorable. When a Knight’s Tale came out after it was another great role and performance by Heath. I saw no wrong in the roles he did, and I loved every movie he was in. When I heard that he was cast as the Joker I was like WTF? Not because I thought he couldn’t do the part, but because it was so different than anything he had ever done before, but I knew if Heath wanted to he could do it. When the first images were released, and the trailers came out I knew Heath was going to be awesome. Heath Ledger’s joker is the first joker to EVER be scary, frightening. Jack Nicholson who? No one will ever top Heath’s performance, no one should ever try.
