A Joker and Two Dylan's (Things I'm Looking Forward To This Summer)

1. Getting to see Heath Ledger's performance in 'The Dark Knight'. I know that after his death there was even more hype about his performance as the Joker, but the week before he died I got caught up in the hype from the trailers- it looks like a terrific performance and I told several people on different occasions that I was looking forward to it. Sadly it will be marred by his death this year. The tragedy is that it looked set to elevate him from being a popular actor to a respected one.

2. The aspect of going on holiday that I'm looking forward to most is going to see Dylan Thomas' boathouse (going to Wales, see) and I'm a big fan of his. Though I've yet to see the movie released about him 'The Edge of Love' mostly because I hate the fact the advertising and marketing is all about Keira Knightly and Sienna Miller and that fact the former sings in it, rather than it been a biopic of a genius.

3. Speaking of Dylan's- the film 'I'm Not There' is released on to DVD, a film about Bob Dylan (with the genius idea of having 6 actors portray different version of Dylan) and I didn't get to see it in the cinema (damn university taking up my cinema going time!) so I very, very much looking forward to it!

That's all I can think of right now...
