"I understand they’ve got a job to do, but c’mon … this image isn’t that dirty; they’re both fully clad. I’ve always loved Canada and Canadians for giving us hockey. Now, I love ’em just a little bit more. For allowing tufts of hair."

"Courtesy of Peter Sciretta over at SlashFilm.com, I caught an early screening of "The Dark Knight" yesterday evening.Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that’s not an overstatement). It’s the "Godfather II" of comic book films and three times more earnest than "Batman Begins" (and f_ck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn’t so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I’m not the first to suggest this, but he’ll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor. F_cking flick’s nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece."
