This really tripped me out. If indeed this was Ledgers inspiration I am completely fascinated and impressed beyond words. Crawls the skin in that god kooky / spooky way....

1970s Tom Waits is my ultimate fave. This is a strange mirror, though.
As a huge Tom Waits fan I thought Ledger's performance was a lot of fun, but I absolutely kept seeing it as cross between Tom Waits and Jeff Goldblum's physical mannerisms from mid-transformation in "The Fly".
That was FREAKY. Oddly enough, just last night I was flipping channels and landed briefly on "A Knight's Tale". I told my wife it's hard to believe THIS guy played the Joker, and I wondered just where he got his take, his mannerisms, his voice from. And today, I apparently get my answer!!!

wow, all this time I could not figure out what it was that seemed familiar about the Joker.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

That's incredible. I had no idea he was doing Waits, but there's no question.

I wanna shove that cigarette up his arse...lol.
^It's an odd movie...but it's a lot of fun. I like it a lot myself. The love interest and her weird hair styles bother me a bit, but other than that...
