I have watched the previous Jokers since the Adam West's show and every actor that played the Joker did a good job from the perspective and tone of the context.The TV series Joker, Cesar Romero, was just crazy and he really didn't inspire fear. He was just eccentric and cartoon like.
The Tim Burton's Joker, played by Jack Nicholson, was a little darker Joker but although he played a little crazier and did some evil things he didn't inflicted fear.Now with Heath Ledger's Joker, this character took a complete 360° turn. This Joker is the Joker I always thought could be. Deranged but incredibly smart and uses this to instill fear. This Joker is a real terrorist. He doesn't have a reason, he's an agent of chaos that simply wants to "see the world burn."
Heath's Joker, IMO, is the best Joker I've got to see. A darker, more sinister fiend who really looks insane and wants to see chaos reign. His only wish is to destroy that sense of "safety" our current civilization enjoy.It's the kind of insanity, the kind of Joker, fit to our times, don't you think?It's a shame we will not be able to see another Joker played by Heath. Let's hope the next one at least reaches the same level. He really shut up everyone who doubted him, wondering if a "gay cowboy" could outperform Nicholson as the Joker, I believe Ledger impressed even the Legendary Joker Nicholson with his performance.But do not get sad, "LeT'S PuT a SMiLe oN THaT FaCe!!"
Decorarte en estrellas,y vestirte de Luna.Y con el rojo del amanecer,te dibujaré en arena.
The full moon waned that night,as we danced through dreams of light.And the world became just a mirage,when I was holding Her reality in my arms.
The crystal skulls have been subject to many legends and fantastic stories that lie on the paranormal. Just recently, the fifth (?) installment of the Indiana Jones saga featured them (I haven't seen it so...) but one story caught my eye. Since their "discovery", people have alluded on to these solid crystal quartz skulls special powers such as divination. Even games like Ninja Gaiden 2 have included them into the game.
Anyway, one legend says that King Phillip II saw the defeat of his army on the planed attack on England using "a death's head made from a single piece of rock crystal," lit by "a ray of the setting sun." Okay, this really is a play but nonetheless they have been widely known for their out-of-place artifact status as their manufacture could have been very difficult assuming their pre-Colombian origin.Now to the legend: It is believed in the existence of twelve skulls of this nature, varying in size and quartz composition. It is believed that if these skulls are reunited at some location just before the end of the Mayan calendar (December 21, 2012) along with a supposedly thirteen skull, they hold enough power to prevent the end of Man.How will man fall at 2012's Winter Solstice is unknown. No one knows what will happen this precise day and no one will until that day. I think it's BS what is posted in many so-called paranormal sites displaying legends and myths as truth. I might, as well, be a scientologist if I believed this crap. The fact is that I don't think the Mayans were trying to deceive the future generations with such an elaborate calendar, the deceivers are those who try to instill fear into those ignorant of the truth for control's sake. Pretty much like what the church (pick one you like) did and to my opinion, still does. Anyway, that path is one I will take shortly but this is about the skulls.
Just yesterday I read an article at the Discovery News website that it was found that many of the skulls were being studied after the first ones we're discovered to be manufactured with modern tools not available in the pre-Columbian era. They were examined with electron microscopes and the likes of which leave no margin of doubt. Now you don't jump ahead to conclusions that these tools were of alien origin, no, the marks found on these skulls are of terrestrial origin circa 1800.These frauds were demystified, but I must admit that it was a very romantic idea that these skulls were made by such advanced civilization and possessed an unknown task/purpose that marveled every one who knew of their existence.
