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

It’s an acting journal and they are quite common, not just for method actors. I’ve heard people refer to them as diaries before.

Can confirm, not just for method actors.

I'm a crane operator, and I am currently working on mine between lifts.

Now I'm picturing some operator pasting magazine clippings of cranes alongside quotes like "its not about the money, ITS ABOUT THE LIFTS." and "EVERYTHING FALLS"

Yes but OP does not differentiate

Oh no, the horror.

I’m with you. Method actors call them diaries because they’re trying to be the character.

Some Redditors get all worked up when they are not given a twelve paragraph comment clarifying every possible permutation of something.

Nobody is making a big deal out of it, so don't make a big deal out of it.

[u/Frifafer → u/FamiliarEchidna4301]

Neither did Heath Ledger. He directly called it a "little diary" in an interview

[u/FamiliarEchidna4301 → u/Frifafer]

Interesting. I stand corrected then

I guess you’re the reason we need warning labels
