Following news of Heath Ledger's death, a friend made a passing comparison yesterday to Brandon Lee as another actor who died quite suddenly and unexpectedly just when it appeared that he'd reached the A-list. (And I just checked: Brandon Lee was also 28.) Streebo and james, two readers/commenters at Geoff Klock's blog, also recalled a thread in which Geoff responded to my criticisms of Ledger's Joker - which may be his final character, given that his only subsequent film is still shooting - and in the same thread I noted a certain visual similarity to Lee's Crow. And then our dialogue gets even creepier. I recovered these bits from the comment section on Geoff Klock's blog:

Having watched the trailer, I'm also noticing a lot of similarities between Ledger's Joker and The Crow: the aesthetic, the posture, the stare. Which all, again, seems very un-Joker-like.

un-Joker like is only half the problem. The real problem is why on earth you would want the Crow haunting your movie?

I think my response was, "Holy shit! Neil and Geoff were right!"
This event goes into the books as the strangest yet smallest synchronicity that I've encountered. It would please me greatly if some bloggers on the other side of the Blogosphere had come to this same realization.
Sadly, I believe we are alone.
