The Dark Knight - no spoilers please
Fran:
Thanks for the feedback, Amanda and Fiona.
I guess the variety of TDK posters shows one of the differences between big-budget and small-budget films. Oh, the things one can do with a large advertising budget....
In the meantime, things are hopping on eBay, too. :)

The first actual bona fide in-depth review of TDK that I've seen:

Thanks for posting the link, Mikaela.
This part was great to read:
I can only speak superlatives of Ledger, who is mad-crazy-blazing brilliant as the Joker. Miles from Jack Nicholson's broadly funny take on the role in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman, Ledger takes the role to the shadows, where even what's comic is hardly a relief. No plastic mask for Ledger; his face is caked with moldy makeup that highlights the red scar of a grin, the grungy hair and the yellowing teeth of a hound fresh out of hell. To the clown prince of crime, a knife is preferable to a gun, the better to "savor the moment."
Mikaela:
I posted my favourite parts in the Heath heath Heath thread. :)
They included the bits about joining a posthumous Oscar campaign... and the mention of "a Joker for the ages".

Hey there, Fran!
I like your Wayne Gretsky quote!
"Skate to where the puck is going, not to where it's been."
I used to have one of his in my signature too:
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
And to echo others...I think these TDK posters are surreal and bizarre and also great in a bittersweet way.
