I think I'm almost longing for him to do some sweet romantic comedy or slow-paced historical drama next! Less scary face-paint, more melting-caramel eyes in close-up, s'il vous plait, Heath!

I hear you Mika. 'I'm not there' will open here in the theater tomorrow. I'm hoping for some good Heathness there. (Although I'm not a big Dylan fan :-\)

This post here nearly gave me a heart attack at first - but it's only about the next film, so don't be afraid. Nevertheless, relatively disturbing imagery here:

No, he made Patriot, Knight Tale, Casanova - enough of this cheap stuff. I love them but I appreciate him taking parts in dark movies.

Probably best you stay away from the Heathness until we tell you it's safe to go back into the water-don't want you to become a Heathhater! ;D

Oh, I'll never be a Heathhater - don't you worry. :) The man gave me Ennis, I will always love him for that. BUT the Joker looks like it may well lose him my respect from here on out - which means I'll probably stop seeing his films and stop following his career. He may count the loss of a few fans like me (who despise "stylish" sadistic cruelty presented as entertainment) small change compared to the huge masses of Joker-hungry fanboys he'll obviously gain in our stead...... :-\
But let's not rush to conclusions. The Batman thing is not out yet, - in the meantime "I'm not there" will finally premiere here in the back of beyond on January 18, and you may be absolutely sure I'll rush off to see that one without delay! It sounds absolutely great and very intrieguing - if it wasn't for Heath, I'd still have hurried to get to see Cate Blanchett. :)

I'll agree with you oin the Patroit, but otherwise we obviously have a very different definition of "cheap stuff". Casanova looks and is anything but cheap, - the gorgeous views of old Venice alone is rich enough to thrill - and A Knight's Tale is delightful, and my favourite Heath film next to Brokeback.
In my view, "cheap" rather would be yielding one's considerable talent to big franchises that earn huge bucks from thrilling and accustoming the general movie-going audiences to increasingly high levels of senseless inventive violence put on display for the mere "fun of it".
:-\
And with that, I won't say any more on this - till I've seen the darn film or at least have read other's opinions of it! :-X

I am very excited about seeing Heath portray such an iconic character as the Joker but I also have concerns. If it's as successful as all the signs seem to indicate it will be, his career will catapult into the higher stratosphere. That's not necessarily a good thing. Look what Titanic did to Leo DiCaprio, he's been quoted as saying that the film's massive popularity actually hurt his career.
Hopefully, Heath will be mature and level headed enough to work for his art and hopefully will remain grounded enough to continue choosing roles that challenge him and surprise and entertain us.
