The Dark Knight

I wonder if its possible for The Dark Knight to live up to its hype (See today's QOTD). Josh Tyler goes on to say about Heath Ledger's Joker, "He is at once funny and terrifying.". Bonus points if I'm ever terrified during this movie but I'll give Ledger this: Of the three Jokers I've seen and heard (Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, and Heath Ledger), Ledger has the best laugh. The laugh is such an important part of the Joker that it is reason enough for me to ante up. Circumstance has pretty much guaranteed that it will be this year's biggest blockbuster. I'll probably see it a week or two into its run. You?

Quote of the Day

Forget the great things you've heard about The Dark Knight. No matter how lavish the praise or how determined the hyperbole, it's all understatement.
