So, I guess, my opinion (always subject to change), is that while Heath had problems just like the rest of us, I don't really think The Joker contributed to them.

Thanks, that comforts me.

I was very moved by Verne Troyers interview on the E! special.

Here's that in two parts on youtube for anyone who missed it. Very sweet.

I am so worried now about my boys going to see this movie.They are so excited they are couning down the days, but the more I read the more psychologically disturbing it seems to be.
My oldest is nearly 15 but he is disturbed enough without giving him any other ideas.
It would seem That Heaths' performance as the joker is a real tour de force. I will not be able to watch it for some time.Ditto the imaginarium, whenever that debuts, assuming it still will.
The closer the day of general release comes, the more upset I become.Also the more worried about my 12 year old going to see it.I think I am going to have to resign myself to a tantrum from him and just put my foot down.

I don't have kids, so don't have much footing in terms of weighing in on the matter, but I think short of preventing your children from seeing it... honestly is always the best policy right? Your husband is going with right? Maybe you guys can all go out for ice cream (or whatever) after it and talk about what you think/feel?
I remember my mom wouldn't let me see Dirty Dancing when it first came out b/c of the abortion content. I did of course eventually see it at a friends house - where her mom fast forwarded through the scenes she thought were inappropriate. In reality, I don't know that my mom was really 'protecting' me from much of anything... (I knew what abortion was, etc.) Granted, the two movies are entirely different genres.
Now I did read some pretty seedy novels as a youngster that I wish in hindsight I hadn't read...
And I remember wanting to read or see a special on child abuse that my dad ABSOLUTELY refused to let me watch (in his quiet, Ennis way). And I am glad for that.
Maybe it would be helpful to talk with your sons about the anticipated darkness of the movie? Or are they like "yeah mom, whatever"?
;)
