Thanks to all of you who’ve sent in your pop culture-related Halloween costumes for inclusion in our Best Costumes roundup the week before Halloween. (Here’s last year’s gallery.) To achieve eternal fame, upload photos of your pop culture-related Halloween costumes to Entertainment Weekly’s Facebook page. Just click “add photo” on our wall and your image will appear in the Just Fans section. I just spent a decent chunk of time telling Facebook I “liked” certain things, which does not mean I dislike the others. I mean honestly where do you even stop with that? I love all of them! Juno and Bleeker, Robin Sparkles, The Dark Knight, Dr. Horrible, and Saved by the Bell were all popular with our readers in ’08, and the corporate settings behind characters like the SpongeBob crew and Princess Leia will crack you up. Powdered Toast Man from Ren & Stimpy, Rose from Dr. Who, and Matt Roloff from Little People, Big World are simply inspired. There’s even a Peggy Olson, a Kool-Aid Man/mom, and a Dumbo in a dorm room!
So stop by the EW Facebook lounge, take a look around, upload some costume photos, and while you’re there, be sure to “become a fan” of Entertainment Weekly. You’ll be rewarded with the EW extras we’re cooking up for our growing Facebook page, like upcoming bonus video footage, contests, games…not to mention that we’d just really appreciate it. That’s it! And for the last time, elderly supply teacher, just because Amy looks pregnant for Halloween does NOT mean she’s pregnant. Party on.
Heath Ledger is dead. But unlike Jack Nicholson’s Joker, who perished in a midnight plunge to Gotham’s pavement in Tim Burton’s original Batman, Ledger’s Joker survived The Dark Knight to fight another day. "I think you and I are destined to do this forever," Ledger’s dangling Joker taunted Batman at the end of the film.
Last night’s South Park spoofed Watchmen, The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 3, and probably a bunch of other superhero movies I’m not Geek enough to have spotted. (Around here, that means I’m not cool enough. Oh, hamburgers!)

The Dark Knight has opened in IMAX once again! Starting today, 143 domestic screens (and 29 international!) will make it seem like Christian Bale is about to drive that thing RIGHT INTO YOUR NOSTRILS.

We’ve pretty much covered all the casting rumors surrounding Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to The Dark Knight, but this
I finally got around to seeing The Dark Knight over the holiday weekend, and I have to say, I wasn’t bowled over. Despite being completely mesmerized for the past year by the images of Heath Ledger’s depraved Joker, I don’t make it to the theater as often as I’d like these days (two-year-old daughter) and sometimes have to wait, even for movies I really want to see, until they come out on DVD. Maybe that was my mistake. Don’t get me wrong: I enjoyed The Dark Knight, and I was not disappointed in the slightest by Ledger’s freakish, lip-smacking fiend. But at the same time, I was let down given the movie’s gargantuan box office haul, the almost universal critical praise, and the Oscar buzz surrounding it and its fallen star. I could see Ledger taking Supporting Actor, but while I haven’t yet seen all the other Oscar contenders this year, I would be a bit surprised if The Dark Knight took Best Picture.
