I stood in line forever last night to get into a late showing of the new Batman movie. It was spectacular! I am not a movie reviewer, but even if Heath Ledger hadn’t died, I would have to say that his performance was one of the best performances I have ever seen in a movie to date. I am honestly speechless to go into detail.
But there was one line that The Joker said that got my attention. It wasn’t meant to be Spiritual (I actually can’t stand the people that Spiritualize every movie) But what The Joker said could be used in the light of the Prosperity preachers of today. As The Joker lights the mountain of money on fire he makes this statement:
“It’s not about the money, it’s about a message. Because in the end, everything is going to burn.”
Now obviously he was talking about his elaborate plan (or lack of plan actually) but this SHOULD so be said to the Kenneth Copelands and The Creflo Dollars in the modern church world.
“GUYS…IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, IT’S ABOUT THE MESSAGE. IN THE END SOULS ARE AT STAKE FOR BURNING IN HELL”!

I have been putting off seeing it. I would be nervous as an actor taking on one jack nicolson did about a crazy person. Jack is one of the best crazies there is.

Hey there,
yeah Heath was truly amazing as the Joker and there was a lot of philosophical points in the movie. I had also noted that line in the movie; in fact, almost every line of the Joker was interesting and insightful. He simply overshadowed Batman; and his character would be really hard to top!

Hugely entertaining, superbly acted and stunningly designed blockbuster that mixes adult themes with spectacular action and actually leaves you wanting more, despite its lengthy running time. Download The Dark Knight from here and enjoy the time….
