thats what i was saying dude, he seriously could be the greatest film psychopath of all time. i was absolutley stunned by javier bardem's anton chigurhh in no country for old men, but ledger's joker wipes the floor with that. this type of movie brings back the memories of why we pay 10 bucks to go see the movies in the first place, excitement, drama, surprise, fear, turmoil, chaos, brilliant cintematography, and spectacular performances. i was psyched for this movie since the end of batman begins (i have been a comic book geek my entire life) to the point where i was destined for a letdown. but ill tell ya, i drove 2 hrs from cape cor to natick, skipped out of my math class early, and paid 12 bucks to watch it on imax with my brother and friend, and i feel nothing but satisfaction. ill probably see it again tonight

ive never liked christopher nolan either, memento was ok but it felt like nolan did all the flasy backwards shit just to hide what was otherwise a poor story, and the prestige just bored me. but fuck can this guy make a superhero movie. batman begins and the dark knight are more than just super hero movies, their part comics, part godfather, part heat, part arthouse, part horror, all brilliant. im rambling, but i havnt been psyched on a mainstream film like this in a while. and the fact that its not the fastest grossing film of all time gives me great hope that perhaps the world isnt made of complete idiots. bra-fucking-vo.
