Two thoughts strike me after watching The Dark Knight on DVD and Celebrity Big Brother on C4 yesterday.
1) The Dark Knight, aka Christian Bale, uses a voice changer so that no one knows he is actually Bruce Wayne. I’m not sure if ‘Whispering’ Suzy Branning on EastEnders has one too, but it sounds like she and Batman were separated at birth.
2) Another Christian (name, not denomination, not that I’m judging or anything), this time Terry Christian on Celebrity Big Brother, bears a startling resemblance to Kevin Eldon, a comedian who was in Nighty Night and Big Train. The resemblance is purely physical: I can watch Kevin Eldon and be entertained, for example.
On The Dark Knight: I didn’t really get it. And I stopped trying to after that bit where they’re chasing around in trucks which I assumed, wrongly, was the film’s high-octane finale. If only. Heath Ledger was good, although I’ve personally paid for far more chilling children’s entertainers to perform at my offspring’s parties and THEY could make balloon animals.
