Health Ledger is sixth??

Had anyone else noticed that The HeathLedger.com Chat Room is the 6th most popular LUSENET discussion??? I find that really amazing.

ILE and ILM are 3rd and 4th respectively. I'm really jealous of them at Countryside. Some of them have chooks and goats and wood-heaters etc.

who or what is a heath ledger (i'm imagining some kind of countryside tally book but i know that cannot be the case). sure, i could go and look this up on LUSENET but want you to tell me, dammit!

oh and Happy New Year ILE! *blows kisses*

he is a rather girly looking aussie actor who is known mostly for shagging young nymphettes (cf. heather graham)

hm. one of my new year resolutions is to watch more films then, as i have never heard of heath ledger. i liked my idea of what it could be better. what a bloody stupid name.

"What a bloody stupid name" - says the girl called Grocott. Heath Ledger is actually a rather watchable young star, especially known for his roles in the superior teen rewrtie of Taming Of The Shrew that was 10 Things I Hate About You and as a blonde action hero in the anachronistic A Knights Tale. In the old days we used to bow down at the power of the Heath Ledger board.

Happy New Year ILE.

bah, i was hoping no-one would remember i was called grocott.

― katie, Wednesday, 2 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

ooh he was in 10 things i hate about you was he? i've seen that... well he clearly wasn't the little geezer from Third Rock from the Sun so i can only assume he was the "hunky" curly haired one who at the end was revelaed to be all sensitive and wuvving, etc. wasn't impressed too much by that movie but then i hated the play as well.

― katie, Wednesday, 2 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Taming Of The Shrew is a rubbish play, it never really comes to terms with Kate's shrewishness as a form of proto-feminism (no real surprise there it being written in 1592) and therefore has to have her needlessly switching allegiences. Mind you this kind of thing was done much better in Much Ado About Nothing so Shakespeare did have a vague idea about independent women.

Heath ledger is by no means the best thing in 10 Things, but his version of Can't Take My Eyes Of Of You in it is amusingly winsome. It was a travisty that his character died in The Patriot too - though it was equally a travisty that The Patriot was ever made...

them country ppl know everythiing - check this http://www.ilxor.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=006h0K

― Geoff, Wednesday, 2 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

But Ptee, the Patriot is a cinematic masterpiece -- I laughed til I cried. Taken as a parody of overblown action dramas it is in a class of its own.

I was really expecting old Mel to take a cue from his stint on the Simpsons and impale someone with the American flag.

If someone has to be the lover of a young nymphette, let it be a tasty girly-looking (even) young(er) actor.

(No, I don't mean Nick Dastoor.)

Is Heath Ledger the guy in that film about jousting that has people in a mediavel crowd singing "We Will Rock You"?

apparently he has a shameful past - appearing in some little watched Australian soap about would-be Olympic athletes with the somewhat unappetising title of "Sweat".

playing a gay guy, or a guy who was like by a gay guy, if my late night teev serves me correctly

― Geoff, Thursday, 3 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I believe this last point to be correct. He's redeemed himself a bit since then (but whatever happened to the bloke from "Shortland Street", eh? EH?)

― Tim, Thursday, 3 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

He was also in a fantastic series called ROAR! that was set during the time that the Romans were invading England. Here is a link to it http://www.universalstudios.com/tv/roar/. If it comes on a telly near you, check it out. I used to love it.

― toraneko, Thursday, 3 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Oh Jesus, that's right, Roar, it screened over here too. Dumbest name for a series in a good long while, I thought.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 4 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

How dare you dis' Roar, Ned. Roar rocks. Well, at 2am it rocks. It's better than crap American breakfast shows which they air here in the early hours of the am despite the fact that you guys are hours behind us. It is so tedious having to go through the same morning twice, especially when the second time is with an American accent and that fucking ugly chick with the crooked face. The news girl is cute though, even if she is a bit old.

― toraneko, Friday, 4 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I am so hoping you mean the ugly chick = Katie Couric.

― Nicole, Friday, 4 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Yeah, that's her. Yucketty yuck.

― toraneko, Friday, 4 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

oye, lay off katie - she's the only tv presenter to show her colonoscopy on daytime tv...at least that i know of.

― Geoff, Saturday, 5 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Y2K is currently first AND fifth, even though both forums have basically ceased trading and been semi-boarded up for many months.

― mark s, Saturday, 5 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Though if you do go to the number one forum and read the four or five 'new questions' and the dribbling responses, you'll find juvenilia of the best kind.

fifteen years pass...

LUSENET or Heath

― El Tomboto, Saturday, 5 August 2017 23:15 (seven years ago) link

Hadn't heard about lusenet tbh

― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Saturday, 5 August 2017 23:16 (seven years ago) link

Hmmm

Has this link been investigated. Sinister enough imo.

― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Saturday, 5 August 2017 23:17 (seven years ago) link

Heath is alive, he's just been stuck in a closet buried under lots of stuff for a while
