I'm going to see it on tomorrow at around 12PM. I wish there was an earlier showing.
I just wanted to start a thread now in advance. So I can talk about it when I come back from seeing it. And I wanted to beat other people staring a Dark Knight thread
i've just barely managed to bacon and eggs... thing. that involves fire and making them good for my mouth.
it's like Ledger took everything good about Nicholson's Joker and Mark Hamill's take on the Joker (from the Animated Series, which was fucking magnificent), and then threw in a healthy helping of the serial killer vibe that they sometimes give Joker in some of the comics, mashed it all up, AND MADE IT SO FUCKING EPIC THAT HE COMPLETELY STOLE THE SHOW! Bale was wonderful as Batman/Wayne again, Aaron Eckhart was superb as Harvey Dent, and Ledger still blew them out of the water. i think this is certainly Ledger's swan song, his last and greatest performance. one of the best performances i've seen, period. so much more tragic, it seems to me.
science help me, but this year is so making up for the last few years of horrible peak movie seasons.
