the grove on a thursday night...

it never gets old sadly. if it did i would have been in bed 7 hours ago. didn't make it to the GEN ART screening of "August," but whatev Josh Hartnett will suck me into something else he's in soon enough and i am not ashamed to admit it. random but relevant tangent- "the black dahlia" sucked, i couldn't get through it and I ADORE Aaron Eckhart (i made my mom rent "In The Company of Men" for me when i was home sick with the flu for 2 weeks in middle school and have loved him ever since.) everyone keeps talking about the brilliance that is Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker in "The Dark Knight." i adored, respected and admired Heath since "10 Things I Hate About You," because not only did he help to reinterpret a great Shakesperean play, but he gave an entertaining and believable performance in a "teen movie." but it legitimately shocks me that no one is talking about Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent/ Two Face. Anyone who is a fan of the comic of the film series knows that in "Batman Forever" Tommy Lee Jones played the same role. i understand the media's obsessive and even more relentless "relationship/fascination" with an unbelievably talented artist that died well before anyone wanted him too, and that we'll never fully comprehend what he was going through. but i hope people also take the opportunity to respect The Dark Knight as a whole and not just focus on one man's performance, because film is a collaborative art and heath, christian, aaron, maggie, morgan, michael, gary, christopher and the entire crew are responsible for this oeuvre and let's not forget that.

anyhoo i hope that mr. eckhart gives a stellar and exciting performance and acts his pants off (literally and seriously. i know this is a dark movie but i want to see something hot.)

....and i can't think anymore
