I Want Answers!

Questions that have been on my mind:

At what point in life does it seem like a good idea to use "rolling" bags around a campus.  Heck even around town?  I see people with these from time to time around campus, and they are always the older students(ages 30-50).  I just don't get it.

Will the wristwatch become obsolete?  Think about it, people used to carry along pocket watches until the wristwatch came about and blew that sucker out of practicality.  Now, cellphones have entered the game, displaying the time on the screen.  At parties you hear "what time is it?" and automatically everyone dives into their pockets for their cellphones.  With the younger generation so reliant on cellphones, it wont be long till wristwatches are a thing of the past.

Is Heath Ledgers untimely death going to serve his career the justice he always wanted?  Why wouldn't it?  He is getting more recognition for this weird untimely death then anything.  With so many variables involved, (Mary-kate, masseuse, films in production) it means that this is going to be in the news for awhile; especially with The Dark Knight coming out this summer.  All this does is create more time for us to analyze this mans career, which certainly showed promise in his latest roles.  So will this man become immortalized in the likes of celebrities such as: Chris Farley, Kurt Cobain, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, 2pac and Biggie?

I think you're right. His character is going to be analyzed a great deal now he has (possibly) killed himself. I know I will be analyzing.

Jack Nicholson was said to have some psychological difficulties when he played the 1989 Batman role. I can't find the old article, but this is interesting too..
