I thought it wasn't makeup. I thought it was chemical damage.
Aha. Wikipedia says you're right. I haven't seen the movie in years. But still, it's such a...clean look, in a way. Heath Ledger's Joker looks more deranged.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Atonement this weekend. It's a visually rich film and very serious. I often get put off by films which wear their Deepness and Importance on their sleeve, but this one sucked me in and eneded up really staying with me. It has really incredibly use of sound--almost as a character--throughout. Also, wonderful acting.

eta: Also, you need to meet more women, if you think time spent on makeup has an inverse effect on danger.
I love this.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
When you think about it, how dangerous could Nicholson's Joker really be, if he spent that much time on his makeup?
Says a man who has obviously never been confronted by a livid drag queen.

This is really cool. Of course, I may be a little biased about that.
Still, I always appreciate well thought out use of sound.

Still, I always appreciate well thought out use of sound.

This is the Slings and Arrows thread, right? I loved it.

I agree, Scrappy, and I thought that the music was excellent too (all that typewriter percussion), until the final scene with Vanessa Redgrave, when it sadly tipped into overdone and very, very intrusive .

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Its sequel?
ETA: And New Line cut a deal with PJB just days after The Golden Compass's poor opening weekend.
