Thank you so much, Keren. You don't know how much your words mean to me, because I feel terribly sad and guilty and ashamed now, and I can't stop crying my eyes out. I can't stand the idea of having done something very bad to Ted and to all of you.

I just want to hide in a hole and never go out again....

I'm so very sorry.

Hi Tammy,

I am not in the least bit mad, I was a bit more upset that something that never happened was being said and I don't think that is fair to Jake, to imply something happened when it never did.

You will all, or whoever is interested, get to read all about this very shortly, and you can then all be your own judges on what happened. Our document has very little interpretation of Jake, just the facts, our thoughts and feelings are commented on because they are ours, I think it is only a few times when we try to interpret what Jake is doing or meaning, but everyone can be their own judge.

All I can say is that Jake is a great guy, most things said about him are wrong, and well you can be you're own judge...

But I am not mad, so you don't need to crawl in a hole or anything, but I would ask that if anyone sees or hears this rumour being spread anywhere else please nip it in the bud, because it didn't happen and I don't think it is fair to Jake to let people believe it did.

Cheers, Ted

Jessicat - that spooky computer jump - - - phew, straight out of the X files. But that probably happened to the right person as some of the rest of us might have been whacked out, and you were very level-headed.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Tony

It definitely was an interesting 20 seconds. Maybe it's good though...to be reminded how far we've come.

And my dear brokie sister Tammy, I do not believe there is one person here that is even slightly upset with you. Do not let this simple mistake make you question for a second sharing your thoughts and feelings with us here. I've told you before, when I was alone and came back to this site, your's were some of the most important posts in this thread to me.It was like you took that empty hollow place inside me that was hurting so bad, and filled it with understanding, and I was no longer alone; so it affects me extra hard when I know you are hurting about something, it makes me want to ease that pain for you, like your wonderful presence here has done for so many others. Cheer up, stay strong, and don't forget your way home; we'll be here when you need us

Ted are you a friend of Jake's? If not, i'm very surprised he would talk with fans about Heath, he didn't even speak publicly about him. $:-\\$ I really expect him to speak when the promotional tour for his movie begins. I know he'll just say the best about Heath, like everyone else who spoke. Heath was very respected and liked by many people not only family and friends also co-stars.

Ted, I read about your and Lisa's meeting with Jake. I apologize I didn't know what it was about in my previous post. I enjoyed reading your report. Thank you!

:\'( Having just joined the forum, I have been wiped out by the sentiments I have been able to see, both in the numbers and content. Its almost six months later and the pain still is the same. I thank everyone for sharing their sentiments.

I have only read this in one other place and have been surprised to not see it mentioned again. In the last scenes, when Ennis finds his shirt inside Jack's (in Jack's closet), with Jack's shirt holding his, I lost it. Then later in the last scene in the trailer when you see the shirts reversed, with Ennis' shirt on the outside holding Jack, I lost it again. Both scenes were so touching, and I read that the changing of the shirts was Heath's idea, not Ang Lee. Sometimes it is still hard to separate Heath from Ennis. RIP Heath, you will be in our hearts and memories for such a long time to come.

Welcome rlh03.

You've definitely come to the right place.

And yes, that was Heath's idea to do and just another indication of how well he understood the character of Ennis Del Mar. They will both be in our hearts forever.

. . . And yes, that was Heath's idea to do and just another indication of how well he understood the character of Ennis Del Mar.

And he knew he understood it, which (I feel) gave him confidence to put his entire soul into Ennis. Diana Ossana has been quoted saying that Heath excitedly told her: "I think you're going to like what I did with the last scene." It was a surprise to her when he opened the closet. She knew then he could see into Ennis's soul. (Sorry for bein' OT.)

I fully agree,Barb

.Jackster,it's not only "In topic" but a wonderful way to get to know Heath a little better; to know how deeply he entered into Ennis skin to understand his inner struggle with himself mainly.To know his responsability before everything he did,as an actor and as a person.The same than knowing how Jake behave with Ted and Lisa,with these little details we can understand better why we loved him and will love him so much...

I don't know if this new book has been discussed anywhere on the forum, but I just found it yesterday at Border's Book Store and was blown away. It is truly a beautiful tribute to Heath. Title: Heath Ledger, Holywood's Dark Star, written by Brian J. Robb. It is an oversized paperback with many beautiful pictures of Heath, many from his movies. The narrative is excellent. Each page contains one or two quotes from Heath himself -- true insights into his mind and soul. I haven't finished reading it yet, but the first half is a wonderful explanation of everything Heath -- his childhood, where he came from, his family, how he got involved in the art of acting, etc. I can't imagine but the second half will be as good. I will mention this on the book thread, also, but I know lots of people who frequent this thread would be interested in this book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It is amazing to me that such a well-done effort has hit the bookstores so soon after Heath's passing. Robb did a hell of a job synthesizing (sp?) Heath's life.

Thank you so much for this Alice.

I really want to read that book, and look at all those pics.

I think this is wonderful!!

But I don't know if I can buy it here in Spain.... $:-\\$ $:-\\$ $:-\\$

Dear Baby Tammy - How about Amazon.com? Or the other internet book stores?

babytammy7 · « **Reply #3825 on:** Jul 18, 2008, 03:33 PM »

Oh, thank you so much, friend!!!

I didn't think about Amazon!!

Now, I'm gonna try to find it there!!

The book to which I refer above is published in London by Plexus and the ISBN number is: 13-978-0-85965-427-2. It cost $19.95 at Border's. 12.99 in UK. The author is a New York Times best-selling author who wrote Johnny Depp: A Modern Rebel and The Leonardo diCaprio Album. So, I suppose he specializes in popular actors?

? All I can surmise is that he has done a pile of research for this book --- mostly in the form of interviews, I imagine, since little has actually been written before with this depth about Heath -- at least to my knowledge. Good luck in finding it. PM me if you need help, Tammy.

It's still three days before his six-month anniversary, and I am at the point where Heath is surreal, a legend that has lived forever and will live forever in his movies. I watched A Knight's Tale again, and the first part of Brokeback Mountain (before the FNIT), and surprisingly few tears came. While watching the movie, Heath is still alive, and vibrant and real. It is only afterwards, out of the blue, reading tributes to his movies, and thinking about something he quoted, that sadness descends like a fog over a noisy city, and the silence speaks loudly of the impact of the man whom I've never met, but will forever love.

myprivatejack · « **Reply #3829 on:** Jul 20, 2008, 11:43 AM »

I understand how you feel,Andrew...For me now is also as if Heath was surreal indeed,like somebody who is living through his films;is as if I saw the character,or at the most,the actor.Is when I read about tributes working fellows or friends are doing in his memory when the man appears in all his magnitude...He's not Ennis,or Jacob Grimm,or the priest in "The Order";he's the good friend,the person infinitely perfectionist in all he did,the father of a lovely baby,the fellow whom all his coworkers will remember,~~the friend~~ my friend at distance...But I know watching TDK will be hard for me,because he won't be then The Joker;he will be Heath in my eyes again.As you say,I didn't know him,but I'll always love him...
