Report: Depp, Farrell, Law donate “Dr. Parnassus” paychecks to Matilda…

2 Comments

Everybody thinks “The Dark Knight” is Heath Ledger’s final film, but it’s not true. If everyone gets their facts straight, Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” is Heath’s last and final film ever. This was the film Heath Ledger was still filming before he died. Heath Ledger originally was supposed to play the leading role throughout the entire film but due to his death, three big name actors took over Heath’s spot leaving the real Heath a cameo in the film.

Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law who starred in the film agreed to give their paychecks they got from making the film to Matilda, the daughter of Heath and Michelle Williams.

Those three guys did a great thing. They got plenty of money, they don’t really need it. Matilda deserved it.

Kudos.

Report: Mary Kate may not be subpoena-ed but authorities are still keeping an eye on her…

Mary Kate Olson maybe free of getting questioned by the DEA and the authorities but they are still investigating her and watching her closely. Authorities teased that they found new information that could possibly involve Mary Kate.

I think she’s hiding something up her sleeve. I’ll be keeping an eye on this news.

Report: Mary Kate Olsen, cleared of being subpoena-ed, free of talking to authorities about Ledger’s death…

The Trollson, Mary Kate must have really good lawyers enough to get free of this, eh? The US Attorney was about ready to get Mary Kate Olsen subpoena-ed, but it seems that he quickly changed his mind. The DEA and Federal Investigators closed the case that she won’t be forced to being questioned in front of a grand jury.

Come on now, Mary Kate. It can’t be all that bad to go to the authorities and answer a few questions, that’s all they wanted to do! It ain’t like they were going to accuse her of being responsible for Heath’s death. They just wanted to ask her questions.

Mary Kate cut a lucky break on this one!

Report: Mary Kate Olsen’s reps speaks out saying she had nothing to do with the drugs that killed Heath Ledger…

Leave a comment

The former “Full House” star famed for one of the child actresses playing the iconic role of Michelle is still denying giving drugs or not knowing how Heath Ledger got the drugs that killed the “The Dark Knight” star. Ever since Heath’s death, federal investigators has been trying to send Mary Kate Olsen into questioning but twice she refused. Mary Kate was best friends with the actor before he died.

If Mary Kate continues to refuse to come forward to authorities for questioning, she will be forced to be in front of a grand jury in a trial. The authorities became suspicious of Heath’s death when Mary Kate refused Heath’s masseuse to call 911 when she wanted her security for help instead of paramedics. Heath Ledger’s body was discovered earlier this year on Jan. 22.

The Associated Press reports:

I’ve been pointing my fingers at Mary Kate from day 1, if she turns out to being responsible for Heath’s death, then that wouldn’t surprise me.

Authorities are closing in on her fast and it’s good.

What kind of a best friend Mary Kate would be if she never grieved Heath’s death, she never went to his funeral, she never flew to New York to support him, yet she’s over in California doing her usual partying and making out with boys in clubs. Yeah, sounds like a best friend to me.

May her soon rot in prison.

Thought: Is the “Dark Knight” Oscar worthy for Best Picture?

Leave a comment

Yes, I know, another “The Dark Knight” post. I can not help myself. The movie is amazing. I love the movie so much, it’s a film with perfection. Everything about the movie is perfect. While everyone is wanting Heath Ledger to get Oscar nominated for “The Dark Knight”, I think the film deserves a lot more nominations.

I think the film is worthy enough for these nominations here: “The Dark Knight” for Best Picture, Christopher Nolan for Best Director, Christopher and Jonathan Nolan for Best Adapted Screenplay, Heath Ledger for Best Actor in a Leading Role (yes, The Joker is the leading villain), Gary Oldman for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Michael Caine for Best Actor in Supporting Role (two way tie), James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer for Best Musical Score, Lindy Hemming for Best Costume Design, “The Dark Knight” for Best Sound and Best Cinematography.

Notice I never listed Christian Bale for anything. His acting was good for Bruce Wayne/Batman but definitely not Oscar worthy. Not only Heath Ledger deserves to be Oscar nominated for this film, the rest of the film does too.

This could possibly be the first Oscar award winning Batman film. This movie is so amazing that I want to see it in theater again and again.

Report: Christopher Nolan, the next Steven Spielberg?

Leave a comment

Wow, what a rollercoaster ride for Christopher Nolan’s film directing career. He’s only made several films in his life and every one of them were a successful hit. His most successful is obviously “The Dark Knight” which beat “Spider-man 3” in box office world records.

Read this interesting article about his life and film making career:

Chris Nolan had always been one of my favorite directors. I loved “Memento”, “Insomnia” and “The Prestige”.

I plan on seeing “The Dark Knight” again this afternoon on my day off of work. After I see the film again, soon I’ll post all my favorite scenes from the film with “spoiler warnings” of course. I want to discuss storylines and scenes with people who’ve seen it so when I make that blog entry I’ll put a spoiler on it. That blog will come later tonight after I see the film once more.
