One of the Joker’s violent scenes reminds me of a scene from The Untouchables. Which was interesting. (I’m not going to spoil it for you.)

Christian Bale by BattieQ

I was surprised to see Maggie Gyllenhaal, instead of Katie Holmes. I’m sure I must have heard that Gyllenhaal replaced Holmes for the sequel. But I didn’t remember.

I found the casting bizarre in the looks department. Sure, Gyllenhaal and Ledger are amazingly talented. But you’re covering up Ledger with makeup and casting Gyllenhaal as hot chick A. Apparently, I have a different opinion about looks than the casting director, and am more superficial than Hollywood.

DH thinks that Maggie Gyllenhaal is hot. But he has also described Benicio Del Toro as good looking. Which tells me that DH thinks people who look odd are attractive. A fact that I have always found disturbing for myself and attempt not to dwell upon.

After that I wonder how anybody could get that many well known actors into one film. I recognized the face, though not the name, of nearly every character. That is a lot of talent in a room.

I’ve never been a comic reader. But I am a huge lover of mindless action flicks, espionage movies, and the like. So of course, I had to see The Dark Knight.

Oh yeah, and there’s Christian Bale, the only person who I thought looked the part. I like him as Batman; like Pierce Brosnan was a good James Bond. I have a SIL who says Bale could read the dictionary, and it would be sexy. Being a different sort of weird, I insisted that DH come over and look at the crisp spread collar shirts, with modified barrel cuffs and wool suits with European fitted shoulders.

Yeah, I need help.
