Heath Ledger’s diary while he was filming for, The Dark Night.

[High Test With da Best]

That second page Joker drawing reminds me of the artwork in the Scary Stories books

Just sounds like a teen trying to be edgy.

Well I'm assuming he was fleshing out his character and getting into his mindset and this appears to be a method they use.

Having said that, actors are a weird bunch.

No wonder actors don't want to play the same character (especially evil ones) too long.

looks a lot like @Slobodan diary
That bitch is cray cray

Australians are a strange breed

 

[Osculater]

So you walk around with an aids syringe?

Nah we sent him over to the states. He went as mad as a bag of two headed cats by the looks whilst there lol

I guess because that's where he died

That's a weird way to tell us you used to post low res Joker memes on Facebook.

Shots fired!!?

Yeah i read that Tuco was supposed to be the main series villain in Breaking Bad but the actor just couldn't or wouldn't keep himself in that mindset. He said he was bringing the character home with him at the end of the day and he couldn't do it anymore.

Meanwhile, Ralph Fiennes played Voldemort like 5 times, one of the most psychotic nazis of all time in Schindler's List, and a necrophiliac serial murderer in Red Dragon, and seems to be doing fine.

Aids is pretty funny tbf. I think he'd have fit in around here

‘Brunch’ is pretty hilarious too if we’re being honest..

 

[Tone C]

Naw, it is not my style

Yea, heard you prefer to inject guys with super aidz the old fashioned way...x

Maybe it's that technique where you try to embody the character as much as possible, method acting basically. For example the page of "things that make me laugh" would be a good way to imagine 1. What kind of psyche finds these things funny? and then 2. Practise putting yourself in the mindset of someone that does find those things funny.
For an actor acting is literally the only work they do and it works on a contractual basis (meaning long periods of doing nothing in-between contracts), so if you're serious doing well at a role it makes sense to bring the work home and focus on it as much as possible.

actors are a weird bunch.

This movie and this scene in particular was a hysterical blast of satire but I do think Stiller & Downey were poking and prodding their craft a little too close to home for some method actors.

The Dark Night sounds like a Vampire movie.
Is it scary?

Typical Hollyweird behaviour.
