The Dark Knight Must-Haves

Truly EPIC. Legendary.
I still can't shake off this great impression after the movie. I'm speechless. And there's still a powerful urge to watch it again. Such is the power of Heath Ledger's acting that really brought the evil Joker to life. He really deserves an Oscar for this. Definitely.

"Ledger's work is improbably droll, impossibly creepy, meticulously detailed. See for yourself." M. Phillips of Chicago Tribune
Heath Ledger "is the movie's animating principle and anarchic spark - an unstoppable force colliding with the immovable objects of Batman and director Christopher Nolan's ambitions." Ty Burr of Boston Globe
So yeah, as if watching the movie wasn't enough, I went to their website to check out if there are any cool downloads to leech off. There sure were. You peeps just gotta check it out. Wallpapers, a screensaver... even the posters are there!

To conclude, I'd like to echo Burr's final conclusion of his review of this movie ultimately referring to the great loss of Heath Ledger:
"In the end,... the achievement's more than that, or harder. It makes you mourn a gifted man's... death with fresh and vigorous sorrow".
Indeed, something harder to swallow nor accept for a sudden, forced curtain call by the actor himself.
In my probable next visit to watch the movie again, I'd need to pay proper respects this time which I should've done earlier. A self moment of silence.
Second to none, Heath Ledger RIP

Now I know who popularized the song 'morning has broken'- Cat Stevens AKA Yusuf Islam. Dang. I'll never listen to that friggin song again. No wonder Hazami? dared sing that song...it's because of a towel head convert.

LOL. Actually, it was Batman who wrote that song with the urge to change from his cursed xistense and become the Morning/Light Knight instead.
