Dead Actor Kills In The Dark Knight

If reading reviews of the Dark Knight tells you one thing, it's that Heath Ledger's performance is spectacular—somewhere on par with Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia, Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, and Tom Arnold in The Stupids. But we're wondering, is it really that great or is this post-mortem love a product of America's tendency to over-praise in death? Hell if we know, every showing of the damn movie is sold out until next month. At the very least, it's a question worth contemplating as you read these eulogies disguised as movie reviews:

• Metro: Rogue Black Gangs Assaulting Women On Subways!
• George Bush Blinking in Iranian Showdown?
