Actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his SoHo apartment today. The police found pills near the body, and don't believe foul play was involved.
What a bummer. He started off in crappy movies, but he took a lot of risks as an actor, and I was looking forward to seeing him in the new Batman movie this summer.
He was 28.

If I was making a major Hollywood movie....

-It would star the Official Character Actor of the Idea of Progress, Zooey Deschanel.
-It would involve robots, or zombies, or perhaps zombie robots.
-I would cast Dane Cook, only to have him butchered onscreen by a zombie robot.
-I would play the zombie robot.
-It would be rated G.
-It would make children cry.
-It would make you cry.
-I would make sure to fill it with as many expensive products as I could, in hopes of getting freebies. Such products would include Bentley automobiles, Rolex watches, and Pabst Blue Ribbon.
-It would be six hours long. There would be no intermission.
-The trailer would feature a voiceover from the "In a world where..." guy. The voiceover for the trailer would begin, "In a world where..."
-Bono would make a cameo appearance.
-He would be killed by a zombie robot.
-It would be the same zombie robot that killed Dane Cook.
-I would still be playing that zombie robot.
-The zombie robots would also be ninjas.
-The movie will be called Mr. Splashy Pants.
-It will gross $10 trillion on its opening weekend.
-It will open next summer.
