So you've seen it? Because it there really isn't much to it, no nudity, no penetration is shown, it basically Heath dry-humping Jake for about 30 seconds, that and some kissing beforehand.
That's a shame. Have you noticed you and a 15 year old are the only ones from the last 3 pages that can't put the puffing up and being macho badass aside?
You know that last film was being directed by a member of the Monty Python troope. As in the director knew gay people. As in the director that dresed as a woman in some scenes from the series and movies. As in the director that worked with other men who dressed up as women and had no problem with homosexuals. As in a member of the Monty Python troope was gay. As in the director likely hadn't turned stomach over seeing his male friends having a boyfriend. You might want to brace your stomach before you check it out; as though your interest in Heath Ledger outside the Joker role will last beyond the DVD release. Or is it almost time for another change in your user name?

I thought Ledger was superbly convincing as the Joker.
Full credit to him. Really didn't know if Nicholson's could be outshined,
but Nicholson's Joker just looks/acts like Jack Nicholson in white make-up by comparison.
He owned this character on all levels.
That heavy-user-of-thorazine-type tongue snaking and apparent mouth dryness detailing for example.
(Keeping it spoiler-light for those who still haven't seen it.)
And the comedic silently mouthing "six?" at the copper he was winding up before smooooooothly switching tones of darkness when asking if the cop wanted to know which of those six were cowards. Never once felt I was watching a actor playing somebody, just felt I was watching a truly twisted psychotic on screen at all times..
Haven't actually seen his other stuff yet, but if he is as good as his Joker in other movies, then that bodes well for an earned (not just cause of his now posthumous status) legendary actor status imho.
