Finch/Ledger - Conspiracy?

[fromdownunder]

In 1976, Peter Finch, an Australian, signed up to play Howard Beale in Network,a film where he played an insane man who was finally murdered on live TV for lousy ratings. He died in January 1977. The film became a great hit, and he receive a posthumous Oscar for this film. He also played a gay Doctor in Sunday Bloody Sunday. He was 64 years old.

In 2006, Heath Ledger, an Australian, signed up to play The Joker in The Dark Knight, a film where he played an insane criminal, who was finally captured and jailed by Batman. He died in January 2008, and the film became a great hit, grossing $US1 Billion at the Box Office. Word on the streets is that he will get the nod for a nomination for a posthumous Oscar for this film. He also played a gay Cowboy in Brokeback Mountain. He was 28 years old.

Let's look at the facts:

Both Australians
Both signed up for movies 30 years apart where they played madmen.
Both died in January
(probably) both got Oscar nominations
Both had played gays in famous and popular films beforehand.
Finch was 64 (6 + 4 = 10) Ledger was 28 (8 + 2 = 10) 10 must mean something or other.

Can all these facts be a coincidence? :D Were they secretly murdered in order to increase the Box Office of these movies? (Just asking questions, not trying to prove anything)

Please be gentle with me - It's my first Conspriacy Theory. :D:D:D

Heath Ledger appeared in Two Hands. Peter Finch had two hands!

[Brainache]

Heath Ledger was in "Ten Things I Hate About You."

I'd like to see you try to work Phar Lap and Harold Holt in there somewhere...

I'm sure it's all connected.

[Travis]

Heh, does anyone remember the Lohan Conspiracy? That was a good one too.

[gtc]

Phar Lap

Died in America like Heath.

Harold Holt

Let me guess.... Jews spiked her drink?

[dtugg]

You could probably get idiots to believe it.

If I remember correctly it was that Warner Brothers was going to have her killed so they wouldn't have to pay out the huge contract they had signed with her right before she started flushing her career down the toilet.

I always thought that they planned on killing her, but killed her twin sister Lisa (the one who played the roll of the other twin in The Parent Trap) by accident.

But I could be wrong here.

Phar Lap carried 10 st 10 lb in the 1931 Melbourne Cup. I swear I am not making this up.

Harold I can't really help with, except that the Russian mini-submarine is in all likelyhood disinfo.

But another candidate, another possibly expendable Ausssie would be Errol Flynn. He was broke, and the publishers of his biography My Wicked Wicked Ways had already advanced him money on the book to help fund his final classic movie Cuban Rebel Girls. This film, was largely made in 1958 and released in 1959. For reasons unknown, it flopped, and that made his book risky. As it turned out, he died in 1959, and the book, was released posthumously and turned into a best seller. I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Maybe I should stop before I start believing some of it.

Both were men.
Both occasionally wore pants.
Both were caucassians.
Both at some point in their lives ate a baked lasagna.
Both had mothers

And The Head of the US Senate Judiciary Commitee, Sen.Pat Leahy, had a cameo with Ledger in "The Dark Knight". That has GOT to be a sign of something sinister.

Wait a minute...

Mel Gibson claims he's Australian (he was born in Peeskill, New York) and wasn't he arrested for dwi, while claiming it was all a zionist conspiracy? And wasn't Peeskill where they had that meteorite that killed that lady's Chevy Malibu? And wasn't "Facts of Life" filmed there? Wasn't George Clooney in "Facts of Life"? Wasn't he also Batman?!?

This is not a "Six Degrees of Heath Ledger" game here, people... this is real life!

I think you will find that we Australians will claim anyone, and anything as our own, even if it is not quite true. Olivia Newton John, Phar Lap, the Bee Gees, John Farnham, in movies The Piano, and uuummm, Mel Gibson spring to mind.

Of course, if they turn out to be not quite perfect or a complete [Rule 12], we will disown them just as quickly, and uuummm, Mel Gibson springs to mind.

I suck at being a CTer. We could even get the Black Pope in there somewhere...

[moon1969]

If there is a conspiracy than it might have something to do with Mary-Kate Olsen and Heath Ledger.

[Praktik]

Brilliant fromdownunder! ;)

Well, let's take a look...

Mary-Kate's sister is Ashley
Ashly Simpson is a cartoon character
The Joker was in a cartoon
Heath Ledger played the Joker!!

And since Ashley is spelled close enough to ASHES, and Heath Ledger was creamated before he died, IT HAS GOT TO BE AN INSIDE JOB!!!!

[petra10]

I have a little CT of my own.

In Scotland the trail of the would be bombers started, if you remember they tried to blow up Glasgow Airport. On the same day the trail started John Smeaton had a serious asmatic attack and was in intensive care.
John is the airport worker who helped stop the men..He was in intensive care for a week and is still ill in hospital.

wierd coincidence or what?

There's the real story, if you ask me.

Never happen! We all know the JOOs control the League of Extraordinary Catholic Gentleman and St. Alan of Quartermain never trusted the dark skinned Imam Nemo, even if Nemo along with his seaman boys would all go down together in their metal sanctuary.
