Many of you were very negative against me that since Heath has now passed away, that there should be no more movies would be made with him in it, because I wanted more films made with him in it !!
Now, that it is out, will you see it ?
My one face will ?
Au revoir,
hugs!

I think people were not against seeing movies with Heath in which had already been made but not yet released,eg TDK and the imaginarium. I could be wrong but what some people myself included could not cope with was a follow up BBM or indeed any other movie that Heath had made with someone other than him, playing the role.
That was certainly the problem for me.There could never be a BBM2, BBM belongs fully to Heath and always will.
I am unsure about seeing TDK.Part of me wants to see it because all the reviews have been amazing.Part of me doesn't because I will be watching a film,starring Heath, but released after his death.I am very unsure of what I will do.
I even find the trailers painful and am sure when all the press junkets start rolling, It will be even more painful.No Heath talking about his own role,only others talking about him in it.
I know he hated that side of his job, but he accepted it and I would have loved to see him as part of the promotion.

OK, here's another lengthy and thorouh analysis and review of TDK. (Todd Gilchrist, IGN Movies).

It's two pages of nothing but praise, with a 5 out of 5 star rating, and states that "The Dark Knight qualifies as the first official comic book adaptation that truly succeeds in being a great artistic achievement in its own right."
Very well worth the read!
And I'll go post his praise for Heath in the HHH thread. :)

Mikaela, unexpectedly, I found myself on the verge of tears after reading that review.
???
Thanks for posting it. [I was sort of starting to wonder if I would still want to see the movie in three weeks after being SOOO excited so far in advance and reading all about it in the upcoming weeks. After that review, well, I think I'll still want to see it just fine.]
Artiste:
At least, Heath is still like alive by this new film !
And that is something...
Artiste:
Merci optom !
I respect Heath for making his choices of roles as an actor !
He did not want to do Ennis, but after his then girlfriend mentioned it to be a good role, Heath excelled in it! And surely, he was not unhappy having done it !
Why he did The Dark Night ? I can guess. Do you ?
At least, he did it ! Did he want to change his mind once he started it, is that so ?
