So on a competitive level, it is psychologically easier to vote for him since de facto of his death he won't steal your job or boink your old lady or "get your table at Hyde" or whatever those idiots think is important. <BR/><BR/>That sounds facetious but we are naive to say that is not going through some heads when those assholes vote for the Oscar.<BR/><BR/>Also Machiavellian is the fact that Warner Bros. is one of the "Big Two" studios and they "block vote" on Oscars.<BR/><BR/>In the previews, he seems to be affecting a harsh nasal New England accent like Jack Nicholson.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if impersonating another dude for two hours is "best acting ever." But on the other hand I am sure that there is more to the role than that.<BR/><BR/>This movie is sold out for the first two weeks in the US so I will have to wait and see.Zen Wizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932736559039078183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614686743514266947.post-68981295066921856242008-07-17T20:24:00.000+01:002008-07-17T20:24:00.000+01:00Be afraid, be very afraid :-http://blog.washington...Be afraid, be very afraid :-<BR/>http://blog.washingtonpost.com/comic-riffs/2008/07/dark_knight_heath_vs_jack.htmlMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248182899977033579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614686743514266947.post-87055113612950077682008-07-16T20:00:00.000+01:002008-07-16T20:00:00.000+01:00looking forward to seeing you in all your glory in...looking forward to seeing you in all your glory in the homoerotic photo but please, no thongs? or merkins?MommyHeadachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924035710478459520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614686743514266947.post-21220399101132185212008-07-16T19:08:00.000+01:002008-07-16T19:08:00.000+01:00I'm very much looking forward to the Dark Knight m...I'm very much looking forward to the Dark Knight movie and Ledger's Joker interpretation looks great in the clips.
