went to see THE DARK KNIGHT
with my pal L last night
and all I can say is wooo honey
dark is right
i felt haunted by the eerie, twisted Joker played by Heath Ledger
I'd heard some folks say that Heath getting into such a disturbed character may have contributed to his death
well i don't know about that honey
but lord it sure did show his range
such talent
from broken hearted cowboy
to madman-serial killer
the boy was just plain amazing
i feel in a james-dean-ian way
a bright flame that burned too quickly
so sad that he is gone
i like batman as a dark avenger
i liked the batman of the 60's
when he seemed half evil himself
and i think christian bale who is a beyond talented
if you ever saw The Machinist you will know that
does a killer batman
i do think the movie may have dragged on just a tad too long
but it was awesome
Aaron Eckhart who I interviewed over dinner some years
back when he was a newbie and had just done
In the Company of Men
was amazing
actually while writing that column
I had a chance to interview newbie Christian Bale
too when he'd just done Velvet Goldmine
but due to a scheduling conflict missed my chance
i loved writing that column
and love that a whole lot of the B celebs I took out to dinner
and chatted with in the My Dinner With Rossi Column
went on to become A celebrities
Philip Seymour Hoffman amongst them
but I digress
the dark night left me so haunted that L and I had to put our feet in the sand after
i also needed a stiff margarita
but leaving disturbed probably shows how great it was
although lord
do not take the kids to this one!!
you'll be killing monsters in their closet for a year!
dark
dark
dark
but juicy
