Do you like my scars?
DO YOU WANNA KNOW HOW I GOT THEM?



So, was the ~GREATEST MOVIE EVAR~ worth it? Let me be the judge.



In a few, simple words: Yes, it was fucking epic and worth all the hype and wait and moneez. And I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon. It was a very good movie.

And yes, the Joker was the best part. I was the first to call Heath Ledger on his pretentious cuntness back in the day, but boyfriend TORE IT UP. He was so creepy and sadistic and funny and awesome. I won't ruin everything, but there is a scene at a hospital that will crack your shit up. I misted up when they showed his little dedication at the end. And I totally listened to Nick Drake on the way home ~in his honor~(since he was allegedly ~majorly gay~ for him).

My only problem is that it ran way too long. The "Two Face" story would have been better suited for the sequel as it felt sort of disjointed and not apart of the actual movie. It would have also cut the movie down to a reasonable amount of time. I went in there at 9:55 and didn't get out until 12:40. That's just redonkulous. And, I'm sorry, but Christian Bale's "Batman voice" brought the lulz. I'M NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS.

So bbs. Agree? Disagree? Though it should be noted that if you disagree you are a no good, dirty, Communist son of a bitch traitor.

lol Batman's voice is so ridic, I want to give him a cough drop.

I think they told Harvey Dent's story really well, no wasted time. Well, except him holding Gordon's family hostage was a little much, I wish he would have avenged mama's death in a slightly different way. Still they wrote his story well and Aaron owned that shit. The only downside of Dent being in the movie is that the Joker wasn't plot centric.. that would have been fun but still, good time all around.

Did the pacing feel good to you while watching the movie or were you like "god damn it nolan i've been sitting here for 2 god damn hours and dent's face is still intact!!!!" or did you only realize how long you were there when you got out? It felt like a quick film to me, it wasn't till I got out that I was like "damn that was long" but I thought the pacing was really great while I watched it.

I think they told Harvey's story well, but I still felt like it would have been better suited for the next movie. It's like they were trying to have 2 movies at once.

The pacing felt fine, but I kept being tricked into thinking certain points were the end. I totally thought the Harvey/Rachel hostage thing was going to be the big climax and finish and then there was, like, another HOUR after that. At that moment I got a little "JESUS FUCK CHRISTOPHER NOLAN! I HAVE TO PEE!"

omg more like fucking sexy as hell. the joker turned me on hard core. i love sociopaths and he's like the ultimate sociopath... except those teeth :( i imagine his breath smells b/c they are so yellow BUT if it's just for show and he's got minty fresh breath then all is good.

i want to make my ringtone the laugh and my voicemail his hiiiiiiiii. or omg WHY SO SERIOUS! even that would be appropriate for business type calls. everyone loves the joker, they won't mind.

LOL, tru fax. The Joker is just FLY AS HALE. I remember reading some interview the woman who did costumes for the movie and she was talking about how they purposely made the Joker grungier and dirtier. And she said "Watching him, you can just imagine how he smells." So the whole time I was watching the movie I could literally smell hot garbage juice.

Speaking of everyone loving the Joker, I totes got bored at work yesterday and took a red sharpie and wrote the HA HA HA HA on all these pieces of paper and stuck them in various places in the building.

I agree with pretty much all of your points! I liked the whole Two Face thing, but I thought they were going to keep him around until at least the next one. I really need to see it again though because there was a lot of things I didn't notice while I was watching it and it's been too long.
