Description "How many of your friends have I killed?"
"I'm a twenty year man. I can tell the difference between punks who need a little lesson in manners... and the freaks like you who would just enjoy it... and you've killed six of my friends."
"Six? Well... would you like to know which ones were cowards?"

EDIT: Here you go, kids. Cleaner version. I'm damn proud of this piece, even if it does give me the heebie jeebies when I look at it. :3

This is late, blah blah blah, but I figured I could add a few thoughts to the latest Batman craze. I should say up front that I never really liked Batman -- I'm much more of an X-Men gal myself. The Dark Knight was a good movie, sure, but saying it should win an Oscar for Best Film makes me cry a little inside. I feel the perfect film should take into account more than a few elements -- the score was excellent and the effects were top-notch, but I just can't compare it to, say, The Departed. It just doesn't seem right.

But now, if you want to talk about Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker: let me pick my jaw up off the floor and get back to you (aka: easily ranks amongst the best acting, SO GO SEE IT FOOL).

I think he says "Want to know why I use knives? Because when you use a gun you can't savior all the little emotions.When someone is at their last moment they show you who they truely are before they die.So in a way I know your friends better then you ever knew them.Do you want to know wich ones were cowards?" or something like that inbetween.Anyway great job.
