Shame on me for not mentioning it in my review. Serves me right for writing the review weeks after watching the movie.<br /><br />Thanks for the link to the cheesecake pose by Maggie, but she doesn't do much for me. Having said that, her presence in the movie didn't ruin it for me (after all, I gave it an 8.5). I just couldn't buy her being part of a love triangle involving Bruce and Harvey. <br /><br />Pjazzy: I liked that quote too. Another line I enjoyed was when he said that all he wanted was his one phone call. <br /><br />Janet: Normally, I don't criticize someone's looks for the reason you cited. However, since Maggie's character being the object of desire of Bruce and Harvey was a plot point in the movie, I think it was fair game.<br /><br />Beckeye: To me, Katie came off as a kid playing "dress up" when she portrayed Rachel in "Batman Begins". Hopefully, your mention of Joey Potter won't get a certain Paula Cole song stuck in my head.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-75564292038829865592009-08-30T23:25:39.608-04:002009-08-30T23:25:39.608-04:00Heath Ledger was amazing.
And while Katie Holmes...Heath Ledger was amazing. <br /><br />And while Katie Holmes may be conventionally prettier than Maggie Gyllenhaal, I'm so glad that they made that swap from the first movie to the second. Every character Holmes plays just comes off as a simpering, boring Joey Potter clone. THAT is someone I would never expect to see two powerful men fighting over. Maggie's Rachel had cajones.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-65115326570180391272009-08-30T22:45:11.624-04:002009-08-30T22:45:11.624-04:00Now you see why I got the finger tattoo!!!
And I ...Now you see why I got the finger tattoo!!!<br /><br />And I think, since looks are so subjective, that it's unfair to criticize anyone for "not being pretty enough"; maybe they were fighting over her because of her kindness or intelligence ...Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504992439212714138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-30519275747246400072009-08-30T21:59:44.054-04:002009-08-30T21:59:44.054-04:00I loved Ledger's Joker.

He delivered one of my all time favorite movie quotes, "I'm like a dog chasing cars, if I caught one I wouldn't know what to do with it". I actually get what you mean about Gyllenhaal, but somehow she seemed right to me.pjazzyparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270767809180700095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-8586230573137374852009-08-30T21:54:06.039-04:002009-08-30T21:54:06.039-04:00I agree with your review...esecially about Ledger&...I agree with your review...esecially about Ledger's performance. I had chills during his second scene in the movie (when he made the pencil disappear). At that moment I realized that this character was a bit different than Jack Nicholson's portrayal of The Joker. Anyway, I only have one issue with your review and that is the comment you made about Maggie. I need to ask you: "Why so serious?!" <br /><br />http://orvillelloyddouglas.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/maggie_gyllenhaal_300x400.jpgDave Vacileknoreply@blogger.com
