Moviejournal: the Dark Knight

I've been absent from scribing my moving going experiences for a little while now, most due to a depressed state of mood from both work and life. But it's back baby and better than ever. I hope to get back to a normal rhythm of normalcy at least in terms of reviewing stuff. Anyway without too much further ado, lets celebrate what is by now widely regarded as a modern friggin' masterpiece of a movie adaptation of the populat batman comic, the excellent Gotham tale of The Dark Knight. Anyone who after seeing this film would start to regret the terrible loss of Heath. What a cracking performance by our late Heath in this one. If that Phelps religious nutcase even had half nuts of appreciation for acting performances he should be changing his mind about talking publicly against Heath Ledger by now. Heath spent a whole month alone in a hotel to pour over the book and script and nurture a feeling for the joker, i certainly hope that wasn't the chief cause of him overdozing himself, because that would be terribly sad and disturbing. if this role is not deserving of an oscar nomination i don't know what is. It never felt like a long movie either though it's pushing 3 hours in length. everyone from Qin Han to Michael Caine have pulled a cracking performance.

Brains

Chris Hitchens said in his book "God is not great", we humans are inherently emotional animals because our front lobe in the brain is smaller in size than our back lobe. Are we truly fallible to our own worst enemies? Can we be happy without the constant pulling and tussling of our emotional urge?
