“ You can think of people like Jack Nicholson in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,’ Al Pacino in ‘Dog Day Afternoon’… There’s certain landmark performances where you just think that they just fly. And Heath has done that here. He’s just tuning in to a radio station – he’s got a frequency that none of us can hear.

Dear The Dark Knight, My friends who know you better have told me some incredible things about you. The brief moments that I’ve spent with you have been amazing. You seem to be everything I’m looking for in a movie; You’re pretty, you’re smart, I hear you can even be funny at times. I guess what I’m saying is that I’m a bit overwhelmed. My head is about to explode because of how psyched I am to see you. But I really want to be mature about this. I want to keep my feelings reigned in. I want to get to know you objectively and I think at this point, that’s impossible. I think (and I shouldn’t be saying this cause I know it’s waaaay too early) that I’m already…… in love with you. -Charlie P.S.-If it doesn’t work out, that’s cool. I could always go back to Iron Man.

Dear The Dark Knight,

My friends who know you better have told me some incredible things about you. The brief moments that I’ve spent with you have been amazing. You seem to be everything I’m looking for in a movie; You’re pretty, you’re smart, I hear you can even be funny at times.

I guess what I’m saying is that I’m a bit overwhelmed. My head is about to explode because of how psyched I am to see you. But I really want to be mature about this. I want to keep my feelings reigned in. I want to get to know you objectively and I think at this point, that’s impossible. I think (and I shouldn’t be saying this cause I know it’s waaaay too early) that I’m already…… in love with you.

ABANDONED NYC SUBWAYS Here is another abandoned subway station I found during my midnight internet browsing…You can actually see what’s left of the old 18th street station heading South on the 6 train. It was abandoned due to the 14th street platform extension project right after World War II and was shut down in 1945….This is what it looked like back when..

ABANDONED NYC SUBWAYS I couldn’t go to sleep so I googled abandoned NYC subway stations and found a lot of cool stuff. This is a picture of the old City Hall station that was abandoned in December of 1945. It still exists and they open it up to the public every so often. Imagine going to work and waiting in a station that looked like this. Ahhh, old NY…FYI-the 6 train still uses it to make a loop and turn the downtown train around to head back uptown.

“ Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we as a nation draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy. Certain immediate lessons are clear, and we must act upon those lessons decisively. We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction. We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair. We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe—children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and within our own shores.
