"Dark Knight" Curse?

Heath Ledger - dead. Christian Bale - baby mama drama. Morgan Freeman - seriously injured in car crash. Maggie Gyllenhaal - face appears to be falling off.
Is there a "Dark Knight" curse? Michael Caine must be shaking in his cockney boots!

Yea! Another worthless Dark Knight Thread.

At what point do we start putting the acronym - YADKT, in the thread title?

Seriously, all these threads about a movie that wasn't even that good. What a terrible way for an actor of Heath Ledger's status to end his career. He should have OD'ed after his riviting and heartwarming film A Knight's Tale.

Somebody already used it.

And yes, there is a curse... it's called the make a shitload of money curse. It's a curse all the way to the bank.

Ledger accidentalyl OD'd, Bale's mom is a bitch (and it'd be Bale Mama Drama), and Freeman got in a car wreck. Doesn't sound too out there.

Can we have a "cursed/deaths in three" forum? I know I'm to blame for wandering in this thread, but really.. enough's enough with this inane way of thinking.

You guys whining and bitching about there being too many threads will just make somebody else want to make another thread. Just shut the fuck up and ignore it and eventually they'll stop.

So, you're bitching about other people's bitching 'eh?

It's the redundancy that's annoying. Why can't this be discussed in the Morgan Freeman thread or the Bale thread or even the Heath Ledger thread? I know, too many options to choose from, so let's just start a new one.

Don't forget the CITIZEN KANE curse. Just about everyone(if not all) associated with the film have died in one way or another. Pretty creepy huh?

Why did you feel the need to start a new Dark Knight thread? Why?

If he starts hitting the bottle again, we'll know the curse is real.

I can't recall an instance of so many unfortunate events around the release of a high profile film, so I felt the thread was warranted.

2 events. One happened over 6 months ago. The other was a coincidence.
