LAFCA Votes WALL-E Best Picture of the Year

After listening to IGNs Digigods podcast, hosted by two critics, Wade Major and Mark Keizer, they announced that after a day of voting with the LA Film Critics Association that their choice of picture of the year went to none other then admired animated film WALL-E. This is incredibly notable because animated films usually don't take the Best Picture category. The Runner-Up was The Dark Knight, a super hero movie, which once again usually doesn't take acclaim over "standard" films.

This is a sign that the Oscar for best picture may be one of these two films, but we'll have to wait a bit to find out about all that, but yeah, congrats to WALL-E and The Dark Knight, certainly two of my favorite movies of the year.

Also significant is the Best Actor category which went to Sean Penn for "Milk," which I still haven't seen...

HEHEHEAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Tonight is going to be fucking awesome. Thanks KSK.

"The (k)night is darkest before the dawn..."

The marketing campaign for the new Batman movie has been insanely awesome.

The combination of the viral campaign they've been doing along with the standard, yet superbly executed posters and trailers are blowing my freaking mind.

Every one knows this is Heath Ledger's last role, a role you could arguably say he died for. Some said that the meds he was on at the time of his untimely death were prescribed for depression and a state of mind that he achieved while working on this intense role. Just watching the trailer shows how delightfully evil and twisted his interpretation of the Joker is going to be, I cannot fucking wait for this shit.

Anyways, the latest trailer gave me a 2 and a half minute boner so here you go:
