That's great! I remember being 9 or 10 when the one w/ Jack came out and it gave me nightmares about the Joker!

Yeeah. After thinking for a while, Ledger was brilliant, but nothing compares to Nicholson's amazing psychotic take on the Joker. Nicholson has something to him that makes him shine in crazy roles. Eckhart is going to be great as the next.. well I can't give that away.

Re: The Dark Knight

Yeah - Ledger's performance was everything you've read about and then some -
Spoiler!
I was cracking up at the part with the nurse dress- it was so campy, but so... right.


For those of you who have seen the movie:
Spoiler!
I'm anxious to see where they go with the 3rd movie in terms of villains! I like how they left The Joker's story open ended but obviously... and I was surprised that Harvey Dent died- I figured he'd be the main villain in the third. Loved The Scarecrow's cameo, but where are they going in the 3rd? I'd personally like to see Catwoman make an appearance, especially since we are now minus 1 love interest for Bruce Wayne...

Re: The Dark Knight

Spoiler!
Roomie, as for the villain, it definitely will not be the Scarecrow. He might be a minor villain, but I think since the ending happened the way they did they might bring back the Joker, or reignite and old villain such as Th Riddler, Penguin, and maybe Catwoman.


Also, Bale buffed up greatly for this role. He has always had a nice body, but this movie required some exercise.

Re: The Dark Knight

Heath was my neighbor. I didn't yet know him when i saw Brokeback. This will be the first movie of his i'm seeing after seeing him around the neighborhood on his skateboard and with matilda. will definitely be strange.

Aw, that's really neat Brooklyn. Did you like in the same building, or just nearby?
His daughter is so dang cute (and looks strikingly like Heath).
