I agree with you on Ledger's perf in "Knight." He was a ponderous Joker, without the necessary flamboyant personality to make the character thrive. His was a wispy-ish presence in a film that needed a monster. Will Farrell would have been a better choice. At least he's funny. The movie itself was a typically overblown, beautifully manufactured Hollybland bore. But IMHO, the real disaster was "The Vomitorium of Dr. Parnassus." Can you imagine having to save that mess, after the star died mid-production. And I think Gillium's a real talent, albeit one who rarely reaches his potential. I know I have an extreme opinion, so no offense intended.
