Ha ha!

New York Magazine's terrible The Dark Knight review causes outrage.

I'm not one of those people that's like OH MY GOD THE DARK KNIGHT IS THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T SEEN IT. But the movie reviewer of New York Magazine really is quite terrible; he loves too many movies that are frankly bad and hates those that are awesome. In addition, a lot of his review seems to be "THIS IS VIOLENT WAAAAHHHH" which, let's face it, is total bullshit. I mean, provided the violence is justified - and it, so far, always has been in Nolan's great movies - this isn't much of an argument. The reviewer, quite frankly, also seems to be simply trying to stir up trouble and controversy in his assessment of Heath Ledger's performance. In conclusion, you're a douche, NY Mag writer, and you always have been, but I'm glad others are with me now... even if it took a fairly massively overhyped movie to do it.
