Damn, that's a lotta numbers.
As Heath Ledger's character might say:
I usually hate super-hero films (the spiderman trilogy is to me what emma watson is to you) but this seems amazing, I was watching the trailer, and I was already completely blown away, mainly by the fantastic heath ledger. I mean...woow. And, to your post above: DON'T GO TO THE DARK SIDE EMMA!!!!!!! It's the crappiest thing in the world!!!!!
