  • I wonder if you could access a way that fans/ friends of Heath Ledger could send a message to Heath's parents and family. I know Heath died 6 months ago, but with the Dark Knight release and such a spectacular
    job Heath did on the role of the Joker. I know that the attention this film is receiving must stir up some pain and the grieving starts again. Maybe it could lighten their load is they knew people appreciated Heath's talent and work and would like to share their loss with our love and prayers. Sincerely, Amy Sanchez.

  • I can't wait to see this movie. Not due to Christian Bales sexy body but due to the story and the fact that it is Heath Ledger's last movie.
