GNN Interviews the Joker:

midnightvoyager (quoted on metaquotes) suggests Arts & Crafts at Arkham:

"CROC! Stop pouring glitter on Two-Face's outfit! HATTER, stop gluing Batman head sketches to both sides of his coin! You know how he gets when both sides aren't different! Christ, what is it, 'annoy Two-Face' day-? HEY, stop trying to melt Freeze's ice sculpture of Nora! He's going to freeze your ass shut if you do it again, and I think I might let him- OH CHRIST WHO LET JOKER HAVE PENCILS!?"

Like bewarethesprok said, echoing many an LOL, that last line needs to be an icon. ETA: Muahahaha! All hail silmaril!


Having realized that Eric Roberts was both TDK's Salvatore "Sally" Maroni and Heroes Thompson means that a crossover has to happen. Come on. In one he's the bossman of a mafia, in the other he's the a bossman in The Company. Both have wicked-ass heroes and villains. Where's the crossover fic?!? (And not just for his character. General crossovers might just rock my socks off.)

I think one thing that's making it hard to accept Heath Ledger's death - apart from the total "random accident" unfairness of it all - is that we can still watch him live and breathe on the screen, still discover interviews, and that reminder of the vitality has a sharp edge. It's like picking at a scab.

In other news, most days this week I haven't had lunch. I've been getting on coffee and the small vending machine snack. I'm one article away from finishing the Self study readings. (Totally random, but I find it damn impossible to type "-rnments" correctly. This is really fucking up my transcription-of-notes-fu.) Then it's the Project Proposal and Science-Based Business course on Monday (blargh). I'm going to take a nice long (ha!) break now, eith my coffee and crackers and lovely airplane socks (it's bitter cold here) and A Knight's Tale.

God, 'Knight's Tale' might have been so BAD with a different cast. I'd pay money just to watch a film of Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany eating lunch together.

And it'd be an instant classic :D
