A very handsome man with dark eyes and lashes that do make him appear to be wearing eyeliner, but he has looked like that in everything I have ever seen him in! The guy that played Todd in that series was David Strickland, not "Bill" something (oops!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-19750714476566453972008-07-24T11:10:00.000-07:002008-07-24T11:10:00.000-07:00WOW!! The Dark Knight was great and Heath Ledger ...WOW!! The Dark Knight was great and Heath Ledger was terrifyingly brilliant as the Joker! It is no good comparing his portrayal of the Joker to any other, he is in a class of his own. It is hard to believe this is the last thing we will ever get to see from him, that we won't get to see what this gifted young man would have done next, but what an astounding ending to his career! Christian Bale was excellent and, as for Morgan Freeman, I cannot think of one thing I have seen him in that I have not liked and this movie is no exception. Michael Caine is great as Alfred. I would be interested in what you think of Ms Gyllenhall's portrayal of Rachel Dawes. Do you prefer her, or do you prefer Katie Holmes' portrayal of Rachel? Jess, you mentioned the guy who plays the mayor of Gotham. His name escapes me for the moment, something Nestor, I believe, but I think he looks like that all the time. If I remember correctly, he looked like that when he was in the series "Suddenly Susan" with Brooke Shields, Kathy Griffin, and another guy whose name I can't remember (Bill Something, I think) that died. Anyway, outstanding movie! I love all of Batman's gadgets and gizmos! I always enjoy seeing what else they'll come up with; I feel the same way about the Bond movies, which is surprising for someone as technology challenged as I am! GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-39827119395347136092008-07-19T11:34:00.000-07:002008-07-19T11:34:00.000-07:00poeta--thanks for the comment; I will check out yo...poeta--thanks for the comment; I will check out your blog!<BR/><BR/>michele--Percy has grown?!

I usually read about 20 of your blogs at one time, so this comment refers to the 9 people around the table blog - I would say that me, your parents, Nate & Christy Appleby, Kim Beam, & Josh Greenplate had such an experience one night in our villa at the vineyard conference. We laughed and had a great time. Good people! Thanks for your review of The Dark Night. I love Heath, but am not a real batman fan, so I wasn't sure if I would see it, but now I definitely will. Can't wait to see you in September!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190756886247754706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-15389526661840587502008-07-19T02:58:00.000-07:002008-07-19T02:58:00.000-07:00hey Jessicalet me see if I can write something tha...hey Jessica<BR/>let me see if I can write something that you could ride.
