The Dark Campaign; I Believe in the Dark Knight

Take a few minutes to check this out. Dark Campaign is "an unofficial grassroots effort to support The Dark Knight for the 2008 Academy Awards." Through I hate to use the phrase, many "film snobs" a la Hollywood Elsewhere (not indicting Jeff Wells here) are trying to cut this modest and sincere piece of fandom down. Well, I say forget them. The Dark Knight was and still is the best film of 2008, and is surely in the top ten of the decade among the likes of There Will Be Blood, Children of Men, Traffic, and so on. If, as the Joker says, "All it takes is a little push," then let's give it the push it needs, and make the Oscars something legit for once.




Damn straight.
