various open letters about the Dark Knight

Dear Jennifer Dawn Graham:
I made this for you. Yes, you. See, it says on the bow. Happy birthday.
Love,
Christopher Nolan

Dear Heath:
I don't want to sound selfish, but I will never forgive you for dying so young.  Not just because there will be no way for anyone to follow your Joker, ever, but also because you were one of the most talented people in my generation. I hope you are doing well wherever you are.
Love,
zb

Dear Aaron:
Bad. Ass.
Love,
zb

To Christian:
I knew you were destined for greatness the moment I heard you singing "Santa Fe."  And no, I'll never let you forget it.
xoxo,
zb

That was so the movie that I wanted to see.

Anyone who says Nicholson was a better Joker are teh nutzors.

Newsies? What, no Empire of the Sun love?

I wish I wasn't such a movie burn-out, I normally live for seeing movies like The Dark Knight in the theater.

Ledger's Joker was excellent. I especially liked the fact that his theme was just a single, discordant note stretched out for an uncomfortably long time.

I'm interested to see which villains Nolan uses in the next film. There's no way he can make Mr. Freeze or Poison Ivy fit into the "realistic" milieu he's working in -- I'm guessing it'll be the Riddler. I doubt it'll be Catwoman, because even though she'd fit the setting, I don't think she'd work well with the themes these films have been exploring. She's just a jewel thief, not an embodied psychosis.

Ji ji ji. Writing squinting to avoid advance information about this awesome flickness awaiting me! Planning to journey to the depths of Tigard for the IMAX ultra-geek hit. Will report back. Hugs.
