Dude that sucks In L.A. there's stuff everywhere about Dark Knight... Bree & I were all excited cause we were like "YEAH! Dark Knight premier this week, we can go to the red carpet and see everyone!"... Only to find the premier was being held in NYC. Bummer.

But if you wait it out till Tuesday, I'll go with ya!!!! Cause I can't wait to see it!!!

I'm not waiting till Tuesday, haha - I'll go fucking insane if I don't finish it. I'm seeing it before the weekend is out but I will happily see it more than once. Heath's performance is worth it, hands down.

OH.
MY.
GOD.

I am so so so so so sorry! Mainly because, not to boast, but it is seriously one of the best films ever made. And Heath? Pure, sheer brilliance is an understatement. LMFAO at the pencil trick, btw.

Seriously, though; how good would it have been if the Joker HAD been behind the power failure? :3 *sinks into daydream*

I saw it yesterday afternoon, so my power-trip rage has subsided, haha. (and, score for me, they didn't even check our tickets or anything, so I still have my free pass, so I can waltz right in and see it for free a second time.)

The film is a work of pristine dark art, a twisting masterpiece of psychological angst and soul-baring brilliance. It isn't the best film ever made, for many reasons, but it is seriously damn good. Right up there with brilliance. I will happily watch it hundreds of times.

Heath made that film what it was. The way his character was written was genius, to give the writers and Chris Nolan some serious credit, but how he abused that role and molded it into his own, freakishly deranged and yet somehow love-to-hate/hate-to-love character was beyond brilliance. That voice... I will forever be trying to meet the genius that was the choice of that voice.

Pencil trick was KILLER. That entire scene was probably my favourite out of all the Joker scenes. That an all the other ones where he got perfectly executed monologues .

I can imagine a power failure stunt like that being pulled if Heath were still alive and at a big premier in New York or Chicago or LA or something, but it would be in bad taste now, I think. If he were alive he wouldn't even have to be the one who posed as joker, but since he's dead it would just be sad.

I thought momentarily that you meant you'd be literally robbed during the blackout...

_{I'm pretty sure Oscar Wilde said that once, too . . .}

Lol, I wish I could express it as eloquently as you just did, but yes, I completely, 100% agree with everything you just said.

Everything Heath did was brilliant. I keep thinking of random bits that I LOVED, for example, "You must be Harvey's ska-WEEZ."

And yeah, a stunt like that would be in poor taste after his death. But, if he was still alive, they'd be pulling them all over the place. RIP Heath

Haha - the theatre didn't go black, there were emergency lights that came on the second the screen turned off, lol. That would have sucked major, but I didn't have any cash on me anyway, lol.

He was far too talented to die so young.

"Do you know where Harvey Dent it? Do you know Harvey Dent?" *grabs man's face and shakes it* "No... hm. Do you know Harvey Dent?"

To true.

And that whole party scene is also, of course, brilliant. I love how, at one point, he kind-of throws a man's head away from him, turns to his men and simply says, "He doesn't know," or something like that.

By the way, a funny story from work the other day; I was doing a torch check in one of the cinemas we were showing TDK in, and I walked in right as they burst into Dent's party and the Joker goes, "Good evening ladies and gen-tel-men..." and I accidentally scared the shit out of the guy sitting in the seat next to the door. XD
