“You’ll see, I’ll show you, that when the chips are down, these uh… civilized people, they’ll eat each other. You see, I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve.” - The Dark Knight

Variety reports that the score for The Dark Knight has been disqualified by the executive committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences music branch from being considered for an Oscar.

Tsk, tsk, tsk…

“I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes… the devil’s eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy’s eyes was purely and simply… evil” - Halloween

Well it’s that time of year where I begin to obsess over a certain batch of films that put me in the mood for the fall weather season and Halloween.

Here is a list of the movies I have been (or will be) watching to celebrate the season.

Ginger Snaps (2000)
By far this being my favorite film of all time it is my favorite “fall/Halloween” film. I used to watch this movie like once a month, but for the past few years I have only watched a few times a year, but I can never pass up the chance to watch it once the weather starts getting cooler and leaves change. I remember the first time I watched it at midnight on HBO, seven years ago, ah good times. It’s so funny how big a part of my youth this film was too. Ultimately the movie got me introduced to the online world via the KI Forum years ago… man I feel old. LOL. FYI, Parts II & III are more Winter feels for me.

A few entries back I said that I really cannot imagine what they could do with the next Batman film to top The Dark Knight. Well, I think I might change my mind if they brought in the characters of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, in the forms of ladies like Amber Heard and Amy Adams, respectively. And, of course, threw in some homosexual overtones. Man, would that fucken rule or what!

The relationship has a homo-erotic quality. Many have theorized, based on the strong lesbian overtones in the Harley and Ivy stories, that the characters are, in fact, bisexual. While she frequently refers to the Joker as “Puddin’” and “Mr. J”, she refers to Poison Ivy as “Red” (a reference to her red hair). (Source)

- “I’d kill you for Mandy Lane.”

- “Feast your eyes on the goddess of my life, Miss Heard’s hotness… I truly think I would kill someone to be with this girl.”

- “Holy waterperv!”

“Kill you? I don’t want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, you… You complete me.”

O.M.F.G. That is the best way to describe The Dark Knight. Yes, it was good, pretty damn good. I finally saw it this weekend - in excellent company, if I may add - and had to much fun. A little sad too but it was kind of hard to dwell on the depressing stuff when Heath Ledger was so amazingly amazing as The Joker and, as everyone has said, totally stole the show. We are not worth thee! Heath’s Joker might very well be the coolest character of all time. I had huge expectations for The Dark Knight and the fact that it didn’t disappoint me the least, says something. I am glad that there’s finally a blockbuster that really deserves the audience. I won’t say anything more because I don’t want to spoil anyone who might have not seen it yet… If there even is anyone out there who hasn’t seen it yet! I just really loved it and think it is the best big film since Lord of the Rings. Having said this, I really cannot imagine what they could ever come up with for the next film to make it anywhere near as good as this.

By the way, I’ve noticed how some people keep on saying that this is Heath’s best performance ever, even comparing it to Brokeback Mountain and the lesser known Candy. I find it annoying. Yes, Heath is absolutely brilliant as The Joker but I don’t think any of these performances can be compared. They’re all amazing. Different but equally amazing. I mean, obviously The Dark Knight will have a much wider audience than any of his other roles but the depth and character growth of The Joker can hardly be compared to that of Ennis Del Mar and Dan… Not that it takes anything away from the performance, I am not saying that at all. But still, Heath’s performances in Brokeback Mountain and Candy are incredible and should not be forgotten.
