IDBillzFan Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I don't know if you have kids, but I'll bet you $100 that if given 20 or 30 minutes to interview you, I could come up with at least 3 things you're doing right now in your life that cavalierly place your child at greater risk for being fatherless than you should be doing. I would bet you another $100 that when I tell you what those three things are, you'd tell me that it doesn't mean you love your child any less because of it. Jesus, AJ, which such a sad and pessimistic thought process, you'd figure you'd have found the Ledger joke hysterical. I got news for you AJ, you can interview anyone for 20 minutes and find fault with them. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 That's really messed up! Someone is a lazy bastarge! lol, obviously on purpose

Exactly...people do things all the time that place them at risk for an untimely departure. It doesn't mean they aren't trying their best to fight their demons as best they know how, or that they don't love their kids as much as they should, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I'm the exact opposite of someone who is pessimistic and sad...it just surprises me sometimes how people can laugh at things. I still remember back when Selena was killed...I was riding in the car the next day listening to howard stern, and he had gunfire noises going off in the background. It gave me a sick feeling in my stomach. I laugh at a lot of the stuff you say on here...the sense of humor among TBD'ers is probably what I like best about this site. I just didn't happen to care much for your most recent joke, and it got me thinking...sue me!

Alaska Darin Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 That's a very cynical view, IMO. Sure, many people take recreational drugs because they enjoy getting high, and bad things happen. They know what they're getting into and sometimes you play with fire a bit too much. But not everyone has selfish reaons for using drugs. Some people have anxiety issues, sleep issues, stress issues, depression issues, etc, etc that only medications have proven to be effective, and these people often times have bad results, too. When I think about Heath Ledger's death, I think about his little girl who will never have her father for the rest of her life. To me, that is tragic. I don't really see anything funny about it...that's just me. I'm probably a bit of a hypocrite, though, cause sometimes when someone posts a Darwin award story I find it funny. I guess I tend to take it situation by situation....and having seen his daughter in photos, that's what I think of. If your glass was half full, you might think she was lucky not to be raised by a guy who couldn't get through a day without a cocktail of illicit drugs coursing through his system. Just another way of looking at it. Of course, I thought the "pale" joke was funny as hell.

Well, if I viewed someone as dumb, as not loving their kid, as having wasted "the good life", etc, it would probably be easier to make fun of that person. I don't have that particular view of Ledger, so I guess that's partly why it's not all that funny. It's also because I spend forty hours a week on the other side of it, and a lot of the time the victims deserve a lot more credit than they tend to get. Aside from that, I tend to see the humor in as much a possible

shrader Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 lol, obviously on purpose On purpose as in someone pieced together parts of the original move to make a trailer that resembled the Dark Knight trailer? There's no way that was the actual 1989 trailer.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Iron Man comes out this weekend. PTR says the robot
ajzepp Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 This is (one of?) the official 1989 trailer: http://www.movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=batman
shrader Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Speaking of trailers, it looks like the next wave of the viral campaign will lead to the new trailer. People in London who participated on the ground for the event were moved to a theater were they were shown the new trailer. I'm sure it'll be online by the middle of the day tomorrow.
ajzepp Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 When does this damn movie come out, anyway? Enough with the foreplay...

I went to the whysoserious site and noticed the instructions for participants in each city were given yesterday and the "numbers" people were supposed to get would allow them to open a "safe" on the website that I assume would allow them to see the new trailer? I'm hoping it shows up on Al Gore's in-her-net today.

The safes gave some letters for a a code that lead to the address for the next website with a duck shooting game, which seems to be down right now. After figuring that out, it sends you to this page. So it looks like the trailer will be released on sunday, but it has leaked to youtube in a few places. Good luck finding it because I'm sure it'll be posted and pulled a ton of times. edit:

Click on "ha" in Gotham and it takes you to the hahaha times. There's a lot of random words circled throughout the paper's four pages which I assume give you some more clues. Haven't messed with that yet.
