After what seemed like aeons of waiting, I finally got to see The Dark Knight last night. OMGOMGOMG!!! It was fabulous. Just...*flails again* Oscar for Heath Ledger, please! No other screen incarnation has captured the Joker so perfectly.
It's funny, though, the things that come back to you. When I was a teenager I was a huge fan of the Batman graphic novels and the Joker in particular, and last night I suddenly remembered something hideously embarassing - when I was about 14 I actually bought and wore a purple suit. Not for Hallowe'en or anything, I actually wore it on weekdays, weekends, whenever. I loved my purple Joker suit, but it was something I'd forgotten about (possibly deliberately :p) until a character in TDK mentioned the words 'cheap purple suit' and it all came flooding back. If I look there are sure to be pictures. Oh god I was a weird teenager!
Is anyone else getting the willies over this
CERN machine thing? I know they must have done all the calculations, but I'm such a gloomy old cove I'm absolutely certain we're all going to get sucked into a humungous black hole tomorrow. Meep!
