Now! A little trivia behind the name of this photo.

I am a huge fan of The Dark Knight. In fact, when it was announced that Heath Ledger was chosen to be the joker I was excited! Heath Ledger became a favorite actor of mine since Lords of Dogtown. In that movie, he played one of my favorite characters, Skip, and I did not know it was him until the credits rolled by. Since I wanted to see who that actor was, you can imagine my surprise when I found out Heath Ledger played him. So based of that, I knew right away he was going to be amazing. At the time, I knew about Heath Ledger through 10 Things I Hate About You, A Knight's Tale, and the Brothers Grimm.

Of course, amazing was/is an understatement. I was literally on the edge of my seat every time he was on screen and this is the only movie I can recall ever having my expectations exceeded beyond belief (i actually jumped back on to my seat, when that body hit the glass - damn you Nolan!). "Do you wanna see a magic trick?" Because that is what Christopher Nolan did with Heath Ledger and team lol

So as you can guess by now, this is a reference to the Joker in The Dark Knight. Why?

If you look closely on the reflection of Rhus' glasses you can see me. Notice the shape of my body? Well it reminded me of the Joker in a similar pose in the "Why So Serious?" movie poster. That, and it serves as a legitimate question to anyone who feels offended by my nudes. The juxtaposition is pop culture baby.

Why so serious?
