A really boring new TV show premiered tonight called "The Vampire Diaries". I watched it because it said Ian Somerholder was in it(which he didn't arrive until 45mins in just to realize I don't care for him anymore).
Anyway, In the first couple mins of the episode the girl's best friend is complaining that she thinks she's psychic and names off a bunch of things she predicted, and she, very offhandedly like it was nothing, says Heath Ledger, implying she knew he would die, and it was not an issue, just supposed to be cool that she predicted it or something....I don't know, it was stupid, and it bothered me.
The main girl in the episode lost both her parents and there is this conversation at the end of the episode where she's telling her brother he needs to stop acting out because nobody feels sorry for them anymore that their parents are dead. She complains that the rest of the world has moved on, and it's not important enough for others to care or be respectful of the fact that THEY might not be over it yet....and I thought, yeah, maybe you should listen to your own show's writing...
Anyway, my rant for the day, don't listen to me, I threw my back out and am in excruciating pain, and refuse to take the painkillers....three guesses why.
It's just strange that only a little over a year and 1/2 later, it's just become a piece of hollywood trivia. A simple offhanded comment for the next generation. They'll never get it, and we'll never be able to explain it to them. Not really.
