Not all jokes are funny.
Without a doubt, The Dark Knight is one of the best movies I've watched so far and it will most likely remain so for a long time to come.
Eunice, Sharlene and I caught TDK just this afternoon and I thought it was mindblowing. Shar and I kept giggling and saying things like "OMGGG!" and "SEXCITING!" and "WAH VISUAL ORGASM!". Then there's also "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee CHRISTIAN BALE!!!" and "HOMG GARY OLDMAN" and "I LIKE SAYING LUCIUS FOX, IT FEELS DELICIOUS ON MY TONGUE" and "ZOMGWTF IS THAT ALEX MAHONE FROM PRISON BREAK?!?! I LOVE HIM!!" but the latter two were mostly my own gasps and squeals. We probably irritated the crap out of the audience around us, including Eunice. (Sorry Eun00bs!) But the movie really is just so gawddamn magnificent and Shar totally echoes my sentiments. In fact, we're set to watch it again with other people in the cinemas pretty soon and if watching twice isn't enough for the both of us, we're gonna watch it for the third time together, haha.
All those hype surrounding Heath Ledger's outstanding performance as the Joker, which I thought praise that was too extravagant, were all not without cause. The Joker as portrayed by Ledger made me laugh and at the same time gave me the chills, he was that good. That said, the Joker did not completely steal the limelight from Batman or the other supporting characters. Christian Bale is superb in his rendition of the Batman and his alter ego, the affluent playboy Bruce Wayne. I gotta say, though, the actor who did the most with his lines is arguably Michael Caine as Alfred. His deadpan expression while delivering his lines is priceless.
Dialogues from The Dark Knight ahead! If you haven't watched TDK, you might want to skip... No, actually almost everyone should have watched TDK by now. Such a gem of a movie deserves being watched several times over.
Alfred: Will you be wanting the Batpod, sir?
Bruce Wayne: In the middle of the day, Alfred? Not very subtle.
Alfred: The Lamborghini, then. Much more subtle.
Bruce Wayne: People are dying. What would you have me do?
Alfred Pennyworth: Endure. Take it. They'll hate you for it, but that's the point with Batman. He can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else will face - the right choice.
Bruce Wayne: Well today I found out what Batman can't do. He can't endure this. Today, you get to say "I told you so."
Alfred Pennyworth: Today, Master Wayne, I don't want to.[they walk to the elevator] But I did bloody tell you. I suppose they will lock me up to, as your accomplice.
Bruce Wayne: Accomplice? I'm gonna tell them the whole thing was your idea.
Alfred's gold! I loved the part where he said "But I did bloody tell you".
After all that high from watching the movie, I got sorta moody towards the end cause there won't be another Joker like Ledger. No chillingly awesome performance to anticipate in the next Batman installment. What a pity :/
However, this spurred me to watch Ledger's earlier movies. HOMG he's so cute as a teenager in 10 Things I Hate About You.
Movies galore this past few days! Must really really REALLY get work soon :/
Speaking of movies, I sooo want to watch Twilight. And The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Should be splendid, with vampires and romance in the former, and Heath Ledger and Johnny Depp in the latter! Sexcitinggg.
