One of my alltime fave t-shirts of Heath's, hands down. He looks great in it, yellow suits him well. And just look at those hands! *sigh* There's absolutely nothing I dislike about this man.

You have Reeve (incredibly handsome, the resemblance is uncanny), Routh and Bale sculpts, I love you already. t:

Can't wait to see the Heath sculpt. Keep us updated!

we know it's not true. because he was showing nolan stuff on his laptop that he had been working on. and he talked to eric roberts about being nervous and stuff. and remember the report about him going up to EVERY CREW MEMBER on set and thanking them for staying late when he really felt he was in the groove on a scene.

that doesn't sound like a man consumed by the joker. that sounds like a class act actor.

Same here. Many has said great thing about him & I barely hear any negative things on him. And FOX News suck. They just make up crap to get ratings. When some tv news are desperate to get ratings, they will say any kind of lies to fool the audiences in believeing it & watching their programs.


And I was 12 when I saw B89 in theater. Just following what some of you all say.

Beautiful article about Heath:

shes seen horror movies before, and she likes them. and i didnt mean to start just a ruckus, i just think that its cool that my niece shares the same interest in joker that i had at that same age! also, i didnt say i was taking her to see it for the opening day midnight showing, where i plan to see it first. i just said i was going to take her ,and i do plan on seeing in at least 3 times in theaters. so please, you all are makeing me feel like a terrible person! also, the kid isnt in diapers, shes already starting preschool lessons, and shes very advanced for her age...its not a case of child endagerment people!

it's not child endangerment, but it is unethical.

 

[comic_guy04]

just curious where do you get this idea from? we dont know anything about them. and i would question anyones judgement who lets someone else take their toddler see a pg13 movie without at least seeing it first.




im not implying child endangerment. im questioning the judgement of some "heath andrew ledger" fan who wants to drag her 2 year old neice to a movie clearly not intended for her.

thats all. if you disagree fine but i will say this: there are two types of people in the world. children and parents. and you dont really stop being one until you are the other so i will allow that you dont have a vested interest in these concepts the same way a parent might.

and my son is ten. he has seen... well, you name it at this point. but not when he was 2. and he was a walking talking fully comprehending 2 at that. i just think a toddler is too young for that kind of big screen experience and i would question the judgment of anyone who doesnt think twice about it.

end rant.

My parents took me to Batman Returns with all Penguin's nose biting, black substance spitting, child left for dead fueled sexual inuendos and I turned out ok. I was younger than 10 in 1991 or 1992 w/e it was also. I don't belive in scarring children, but I don't belive in sheltering them from things they are inevitably going to experience in their lives. Because all these parents that won't take Jr. to see The Dark Knight because he's 3 and don't want to corrupt his impressionable mind, they lack in giving them the tools to accept and understand it later in life. It's like a fish thats been in water it's whole life and gets thrown into a bad situation on the land and they cant cope. Maybe a bad example but I think you get my point.

That's a horrible justification. Not taking a 3 year old to see TDK is not "sheltering" him from things they may or may not experience. It's called baby steps. You don't throw a child into pool, expecting the child to be able to recover and swim properly. Same with introducing new, and sometimes frightening material to a child. Just because you didn't come out scarred from watching Batman Returns when you were little, doesn't mean everyone else is going to have a similar experience.

I happily watched "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Child's Play" and "Halloween" when I was 4/5. The earliest non-animated films I remember watching over and over are "Robocop", "Batman", "The Terminator", and all the horror movies.

You throw them in the pool and the ones that drowned are the weak.

but seriously I agree with you. If I had a kid I would love to take him or her to my favorite types of movies. I would love for him or her to have the same interests, but the kid isn't me and is still impressionable.

a two year old is not going to learn any life lessons from the dark knight. and we are not talking about a 10 year old, an eight year old or even a five year old. the girl in question is two. when gordon handed that card to batman in begins she wasnt even concieved yet.

My girlfriend sent me this, I really liked the photo thought i'd share.

 

[Mister J]

this should probably just be dropped. it's pretty off topic anyway

Well first of all I never said I didn't come out of that movie scared, MY point was I got a lil scared but after that point things of that nature didn't have such a negative effect because I was maturing in "baby steps" as you say. Also so did all of my good friends who i've known for 15 years that were little and saw it in the theatre. My point of all points is that I grew up on Death Wish movies and slasher horror flicks and I am a perfectly non corrupted 20 year old. Parents today are raising their kids to be pusseys.

well idk anyone who would take a two year old GIRL, but I was like 2 1/2 when B89 came out and my old man said he took me to that. Point is I didn't remember so whats the difference. Get a baby sitter and enjoy yourself.

Again ability to remember certain things from your childhood is relative. It simply varies from person to person.

Really? I think I am going to disagree, especially when I see all these parents taking their kids to Saw and The Departed. If anything I would say parents are taking their kids to every movie

 

[Luchastyle]

i saw departed 3 times and each time there were kids no older than 8 in the theatre. and THAT was innappropriate
