The Dark Knight.

"They always say the night is darkest before the dawn..."

Um yeah.

Amazing.

Christopher Nolan executed another one brilliantly. I think the quality of actors in this one was so amazing as well, that I think it's hard to realize JUST how amazing Heath was. When you play opposite an actor that isn't as good as you are (I am talking in the first degree as if I am some A-list actor. HA!) it's entirely noticeable when one outshines the other. If he had played his Joker opposite a scattering of shitty actor thats arent'un-fucking-stoppable like Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhall, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart or Gary Oldman are--then he would have over powered the whole film. As is--he just dominates and devastates, and well blows you away. They hold their own against him, and that says a lot.

The makeup department definitely deserve at least a nomination on this one as well--because FUCK he is CREEPY!!! His face and hair are so organically part of his character that without that slight tinge of green in his hair and that maniacally-applied face--it wouldn't have been the same movie.

Heath will without a doubt get a posthumous nomination--if not the trophy itself. His Joker is created from fear itself and causes chaos, death and destruction just to cause chaos, death and destruction. If thats not everyone's worst fear then I don't know what is.

I can't say much about the rest of the plot, because well, I couldn't hear a goddamn thing. I think I am going to rule out the Hulen Movie Tavern as a screening venue once and for all. They had the sound all jacked up and all I could hear was the score instead of the dialogue. SO, I must see it again to get the full scope--as if Warner Bros. needs my $10.

Oh, and I want that Bat motorcycle thingy. Hot.
