Michelle Williams (27) is now dating Spike Jonze (38), who is the ex-husband of Sofia Coppola.

In recent weeks the new couple have been spotted near Jonze’s New York apartment. Williams began dating Jonze after working with him on his new film Synecdoche in New York. Williams first met Jonze in 2006 when she auditioned for his film adaptation of the Maurice Sendak children’s book Where The Wild Things Are.

Pictured above are: Spike Jonze (left) and Michelle Williams (far right), with co-star Catherine Keener (center), at the premiere of Synecdoche, New York at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2008.

I don’t have a good feeling about Jonze. He is divorced, and Williams has a daughter. Hopefully he likes kids. I doubt this relationship will last. It’s going to be hard for Williams to find the right guy to fill Heath Ledger’s shoes.

The Dark Knight Batman movie broke a new box office record making $155.34 million in its first weekend. The previous record was set by Spider-Man 3 in May of 2007 when it made $151.1 million.

Factoring in higher admission prices, however, "Spider-Man 3" may have sold slightly more tickets than "The Dark Knight."

At 2007’s average price of $6.88, "Spider-Man 3" sold 21.96 million tickets over opening weekend. Box office tracker Media By Numbers estimates today’s average movie prices at $7.08, which means "The Dark Knight" would have sold 21.94 million tickets.

"The Dark Knight," which cost $185 million to make, also broke the "Spider-Man 3" record for best debut in IMAX large-screen theaters with $6.2 million. "Spider-Man 3" opened with $4.7 million in IMAX cinemas.

Did you see The Dark Knight?

As I mentioned yesterday, I went to see The Dark Knight Batman movie last evening, and I also saw Hellboy 2.

The critics said, "Don’t see Batman once, see it twice." They were right. This was a really different, much more gritty, and realistic superhero movie. Batman’s weaknesses were exposed, making him appear more like a real man trying to do the right thing, but also fighting the temptation to do the wrong thing.

The story was well written, and focused mostly on character development. A lot of action was thrown in, along with such a compelling story line that there were no dull moments. In fact, it was impossible to take my eyes off the screen the entire time. No one even got up to use the bathroom.

Heath Ledger is said to be up for an award for his work in this movie. After seeing his performance, I was blown away. Heath totally became The Joker, and literally made the role his own. Heath was the most real character in the whole movie. It was as if he really became The Joker, which makes it even more heart breaking that an actor with his gift died so young.

Everyone’s acting in this movie was superb. Although I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal was a terrible choice as Batman’s love interest, there is a reason she was chosen for the role.

I’m not going to give you any spoilers, except to say, "SEE THIS MOVIE." If you don’t see it at the theater, then see it later, but see it. This is superhero history. Superhero movies are getting better, and taking themselves much more serious, and making some serious money. The movie cost over $180 million to make, but it’s sure to break many movie profit records.

Tickets to The Dark Knight this weekend were selling for up to $1,500 on Craigslist. One ticket seller asked, “What are tickets worth to you?” Don’t get ripped off. Buy the tickets at their regular cost. Use the money you save for other things that are more important, like eating.

I saw Hellboy a few years ago out of interest, and it was pretty good. Last night I watched Hellboy 2 – The Golden Army after Batman, and it was really good as well. Hellboy 2 included a market scene that reminded me a lot of Harry Potter. There was a mix of action, love story, martial art style fighting, science fiction, magic, and a really tight story, plus some comedy thrown in. Hellboy 2 was entertaining from beginning to end.

I’m set to see The Dark Knight Batman movie tonight with my girlfriend. She surprised me with the tickets this afternoon. SHE’S THE GREATEST!!!

I’ll let you know later tonight, or tomorrow, if Heath Ledger was better than Jack Nicholson, and if Batman lives up to the expectations.

Heath Ledger’s uncle has been charged by police over three bobcats stolen in Perth’s northern suburbs in June and July.
