“Heath Ledger’s performance is one of the greatest ever captured on film.  I’m not kidding… More evil than Darth Vader.  Amazing.  Absurd.” — Jason Calacanis

“If “The Dark Knight” is about anything, it’s about civic catastrophe and the fragility of our institutions in the face of blind, consuming evil. The evil is the Joker, and no one knows what to do about him – not the good guys, like Batman (Christian Bale) or the new district attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), and not even the bad guys, like the mob boss played by Eric Roberts. The Joker doesn’t play by the usual rules, because he isn’t motivated by self-interest. In the words of Alfred the Butler (Michael Caine), he “just wants to see the world burn.”" — Mick LaSalle

Not pictured, the great hat which is actually very comfortable… too bad my wife took it.  Sorry for the quality, took it with an old cameraphone!

Check it out on Chris’s blog… wicketpixie
