Like I was saying about media cheering me up (if it's the right media)....

So the first Batman movie is on cable (the first Burton batman movie, of course), and it's the scene where Joker ambushes Vicki Vale at the art gallery, and his whole big entrance thing (set to the dulcet tones of Prince) is where he and his gang deface a bunch of famous paintings: Blue Boy, a Degas ballerina painting, etc.... Now, as an art lover, the concept makes me shudder a bit, but I fucking LOVE the moment where one of his goons goes to deface the Francis Bacon painting of the howling man between the big shanks of beef, but the Joker stops him, saying 'I kinda like this one'.... SUCH a deadly moment, and proof positive that if anyone thinks there's a better superhero-movie bad guy than Nicholson as Joker, they were obviously dropped as a child.

I've got a bit of a smile on my face now... let's see how long it lasts.
