The colorless crusader

Recently back from watching the Dark Knight, I feel as though I must tell someone about it. Internet, here I come!

I had a friend in college who would watch movies on a screen to his left while he played video games. If you went into his room, there was a good chance that one of two things would be showing to his left: one of the Lord of the Rings movies, or an episode of Angel.

If I had an extra screen in my room, you would probably find Futurama, Firefly, and a few other movies with high re-watchability showing continuously on my wall. It's not hard to imagine Dark Knight being added to that short list.

Christian Bale was, of course, buff and badass.

Whatever you may think about Heath Ledger, the sensationalism surrounding his death does not change the fact that he WAS the Joker. Phenomenal casting there.

It was an epic story, and it was very well told. Christopher Nolan has been added to my list of Storytellers To Watch For - a hard list to make in my ADD addled brain.

I don't regret making Dark Knight the movie that I'll spend my $8/year theater budget on.
