Agreed return...looks like he could get the look down, and I think he's an alright actor in general, but...I dunno if this ones beyond him or not. The jokers gotta be sinister/crazy all the way. I think that where Nicholson played him extremely well, there's a lot more darkness that could be thrown onto the character, he's an absolute brutal, psycho bastard...I'd like to see Nolan take that one to another level.
Still, I think Adrien Brody could pull off the LOOK even better, and absolutely look like the Joker is supposed to, without much effort, he's got the slimness, the long face, the sharp nose kinda thing...apparently he put his name foward to play the role, but I dunno...is the Ledger thing confirmed yet?

Im not 100% sure if it's confirmed, but every site that Ive looked at seems to say so...Im assuming that it is.

I Brody would look the part alot better than Ledger for sure (Hell, he even looks the part without makeup), but beyond that I cant see him doing very well. He's a talented actor but I just cant see him i this kind of role. Even though I havent seen him in very much, it doesnt seem like Ledger would have to strain too hard to pull of the whole psycho bit.

Anyway, we'll see in '08. Really, I'm just excited that my favourite villain is getting back on screen:D

My Summer Story -

i had this on laserdisc .. bought it in a batch of others - without even knowing it was a sequel to A Christmas Story.

it was made by the same director (bob Clark) featured the same score as A christmas Story . same teacher... but everyone else was different.
(including a horrible piece of miscasting - Charles Grodin as the dad)

it was a bit uneven but still won out in the end.

Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter

Really entertaining:). Great cast - Even though he never lasts too long, it's always nice to see Ian Hendry.
