The Dark Knight
There are no words to explain how much I am looking forward to watch The Dark Knight soon.
The official website, by the way, is awesome. So is this latest trailer they use as an intro there - but then, they all have been great so far.
I have never been much of a Batman fan, never have read even one of the comics in fact. But I am a huge fan of Christian Bale, so since Batman Begins I am sold on the whole Batman franchise. Not only is Bale excessively attractive, but he also has one of the most sexy voices imaginable (one of the reasons I can’t abide having to watch any of his movies dubbed in german).
I can’t remember any of his movies that I didn’t like (ok, well, Reign of Fire was actually utter crap, but it had not only Chris Bale, but also Matt McConaughey in it, so it was enjoyable from a pure eye-candy perspective - yeah, who said women can’t be shallow? LOL). I still think the fight scenes in Equilibrium were way cooler than the ones in Matrix. And Batman Begins was definitely way cooler than any other Batman movie ever made, thanks mostly to Christian Bale. So how could I have less than overwhelming expectations for this new movie?
Plus, William Fichtner is in it, too. Granted, only in the first 6 minutes, but so what? It’s quality that counts, not quantity. Or so I am trying to tell myself.
But this particular movie I actually want to see just as much in memory of Heath Ledger. What I have seen of his performance in the trailers so far looked stunningly impressive, and it makes me sad all over again that we lost him far too early. By rights I should have been able to see him grow up and grow old and make movies for the next 50 years at least. Not. Fair. Damn it.
On a happier note: I also just stumbled upon the first (?) teaser trailer for the next Terminator movie, starring - yeah, you guessed it - Christian Bale. There is the sexy voice again… *sigh*
It does look not too bad at first view. I didn’t hate the third one nearly as much as apparently most other people did, so I pretty much look forward to the fourth, even though it’s still a long wait. And this music still gives me goose-bumps.
