I'd have written something new by now.. something of relevance that is.. I guess I could also write about the Dark Knight. Sorry Scott, I just read your blog.
The Joker is overrated. Srsly. He's cool. Overall, I enjoyed his demeanor, but at times I would grow tired of his psychotic behavior. It's like: So he's crazy, but haven't I already seen this on some new and shitty network-television crime drama? Wreaking psychotic havoc upon the innocence of the public? So.. MEEEHHH.
On the other hand, I legitimately enjoyed the role of Two-Face. Primarily because of Aaron Eckhart. Billy Dee Williams playing as Harvey Dent in the 1989 version of Batman doesn't cut it. I won't even begin on how Tommy Lee Jones just has no villainous demeanor in Batman Forever. So how does Aaron Eckhart do it? Because he is fantastic at playing evil roles! Just look at how he was in the otherwise awful film Paycheck. (Hey, this could compare to the wondrous Christopher Walken and his role in Click. All good actors have their roles in terrible films. And to no one's surprise, it was Ben Affleck who won the Golden Raspberry award!) Really though, Eckhart was just fantastic in Thank You For Smoking as a tobacco company spokesman. My point is, is that Eckhart is more fitting for his role, as the good-turned evil Distric Attorney / Two-Face when he was a damned tobacco company spokesman in 2006.
Ledger just bores me with his roles. To go from the handsome hero of The Patriot to the mechanically evil Joker makes no sense. Eckhart on the other hand is naturally gifted to have a more legitimately evil demeanor.

Hi Carl!
While I thoroughly enjoyed Heath's Joker as much as Elkhart's Two-Face (I was super excited to hear he was playing Two-Face, it was perfect.) I enjoyed hearing your opinions on the subject.
I really liked Thank You For Smoking (If you haven't, read the book. It has a 100% different, crazy-ass ending)
Dear Carl
Friend of Scott,
my anti-passionism
and small muscles
deter me from ever picking a fight
BUT if they didn't...
I don't think the movie fairly explained Harvey Dents true intentions
and also,
he shot batman in the chest plate.
I won't even give him chest
because batman clearly has a
emeffin
chest plate.
And pencil trick!!!!!
COMMON!
Nice to meet you.
