and it is totally worth it.  Went to The Dark Knight last night at 12:01.  Got to the theater around 9:30 which landed us the 8th and 9th position on line.  Which also landed us seats right behind the rail in the center.  Prime spots for viewing.  I have never heard so much clapping and cheering as a movie came on.  I have never heard so much clapping as when the movie ended.  I am in love with Heath Ledger, more than ever.  Can I tell you that his performance was FUCKING AMAZING?  If he does not win an Oscar for his portrayal of a psychopathic killer then there is something wrong with people.  Yeah I'm gonna say it... Jack Nicholson who?  Heath Ledger is the Joker the way I think the Joker is meant to be played.  I still love Jack and his Joker was what that movie called for but Chris Nolan has blown the concept of Batman out of the water.  I feel bad for anyone that even tries to attempt to make another one at some point.  And I am dying inside that we will never see the Joker again in these movies... there is no one that could replace what Heath Ledger did in that film and I shudder at the mere idea of trying.  The Joker/Batman dynamic in this movie is just... I can't believe we won't get to see that play out more.  The entire movie I laughed and enjoyed all the performances but fucking aye if I did not get a little emotional and teary-eyed watching him. 
That was the movie of the summer... that was the movie of the year... top it.  I don't see it happening.  Good luck to Chris Nolan if he goes on to make a 3rd because I will be there once again but I have no idea how you will make it any better than the one I saw just 5 hours ago.  Effing aye I need some sleep.  The only thing that annoyed me in this movie was Christian Bale's Batman voice... but I have issues with the voices that he picks up for a few of his movies (American Psycho).  Can't wait to go see the movie in IMAX!  I take my hat off to you Dark Knight creators...  thank you for an amazing 2.5 hours.
Now I take my leave of you.  I have more ramblings for later but right now I do not have the brain function to make it through.
