The Dark Knight
This was a great movie-dark and disturbing. And yes, Heath Ledger was amazing. Rarely have I seen something that disturbing on film-I read a quote in which the critic said that the Joker as played by Ledger in this film was small, as if he had been reduced to just hate and chaos and I thought that was extremely accurate.
So yes, I liked it, despite the fact that it was 2 1/2 hours long.
But that's not the big news. The big news is that the X-Files movie opened today.
My friends, I have been waiting years for this movie. After all the years of teasing and the "yes, we're making it. No, we're not making it because we're suing each other and David and Gillian hate each other", I Want To Believe opened today. I know it did, because I read the kind of crappy reviews and I don't care. I bought my ticket and am seeing it on Saturday afternoon and I can't wait. And a funny thing happened on Gawker today, when we were asked to talk about our favorite episodes. Not only did I chime in several times, but I actually went into an old-school rant that would not have been out of place 10 years ago. I can't tell you how strange it was to write out that rant and realize that I had written something very much like it all those years ago. It felt both good and irritating, as i thought I had moved past all of that but I guess old irritations die hard.
So, I'll report later on how I felt but the excitement is building. Yes, of course I bought my ticket already. What's wrong with you?
