Will Fans Bale Christian Out?

London news outlets are reporting that Christian Bale, who plays Bruce Wayne and Batman in The Dark Knight, has been arrested for allegedly beating his mother and sister.

As you may recall, we paid tribute to the sheer genius that is The Dark Knight a few days ago. For as much acclaim as the movie has received thus far not all has been fun and games. Critics raved about the film during its production. Then came the tragic news of Heath Ledger's death, which perhaps elevated the pre-release hype to its outrageous levels. 

And now this. Say it ain't so Christian.

Hopefully these off-set antics won't detract from the film because it truly is a masterpiece that deserves all of the praise it has received. Food for thought: Babe Ruth was an alcoholic and a womanizer, but those traits are overlooked when speaking of the Bambino's affinity for hitting home-runs. It's not like either of these men cheated. I would feel much less at ease about the situation if this were the case. 

Christian has denied the accusations, but for now we must wait and see how the story unfolds. I'm hoping that the allegations turn out to be just that: allegations.

Several Things

Today we've got a new song and some general catchup. After a few days I've warmed to and even am beginning to enjoy the new Hokie football uniforms. I agree wholeheartedly with Brian on his assessment of The Dark Night. Excellent stuff, and worth seeing multiple times. Heath Ledger was/is the man. Today's song comes from Panic At The Disco, a really cool cover of "The Weight", originally performed by The Band. This was taken from an AOL Music Session.
