MessageFranc - I'm not sure Charles Boyer's fits in the catagory as I believe his suicide was planned while the others were not.
People like John Belushi, Chris Farley any others you can think of that have enormous talent and so much to live for lose all credibility with me when they decide to live a lifestyle that scoffs at everything they've been given and sends them to their death. Yes, this is coming from someone who has struggled his whole career but I'm not sorry when I say not only were all their talent and success wasted but were not deserved in the first place if they couldn't handle it.

I didn't fall all over myself in praise of it but it was certainly a movie I'd watch again. As to Heath Ledger. Great performance but I don't think he'd have won if he hadn't died young. My 2 cents...

But then again, I'm one of the simpletons who actually liked The Dark Knight. Apparently no one else in MoPo land did.
