I went to IMDB and started looking at the actors in the movie only to find out that Suzanne Pleshette, the lady that played the Dean Jone's love interest in the movie, died on January 19, 2008. It just seemed weird (almost eerie) that she had died only a few days before we watched the movie. She was also the woman who played the wife in the The Ugly Dachshund and was apparently best known for a role on Bob Newhart. I guess her death was totally overshadowed by the death of Heath Ledger.
I wasn't necessarily a huge fan of the guy. Actually, a Knights Tale sort of annoys me because I am not a fan of movies that are supposed to be set in a certain time period that contain modern elements. The way jousting is portrayed as a modern day sporting event annoys me. I guess the point was to make people realize that jousting was the major sport of the day, but they didn't have to have people do the whole "We Will Rock" thing in Gladiator for you to understand the significance of Gladiators.
Reguardless, I was annoyed when all the speculation of how Heath Ledger died started. I even fussed at Jennifer because she was talking as if he'd definitely died of a drug overdose at one point. Again, it isn't I'm a huge fan of Heath, but I hate gossip. Particularly gossip that could ruin someone's reputation. So what if the guy had sleeping pills? Think for a moment what would be found in your house if you died and strangers were searching it. Would you want that info getting out in the public? What would people assumed you died from? The fact is, it wouldn't happen to you because, most likely, you aren't a celebrity. There isn't a desire to stamp some tragic story on your forehead so your life becomes a major motion picture in 10 years.
Enough with the lecturing...
The wind outside it really crazy today. It actually woke me up this morning and it sounded like someone was out in our living room. It was just something blowing around on our deck, but talk about a rude awakening.
