Some reviewers have been comparing Heath Ledger’s Joker to the Droogs of Clockwork Orange. But I was suddenly reminded of another favorite movie baddie during my second viewing of The Dark Knight — Luther, the gleefully maniacal leader of the Rogues, from the 1979 movie The Warriors.

Throw a better pool party!!!! We could’ve had a more fun time at Mirabar on any random Tuesday night. In fact, we did — this week. And is music too much to ask for? Even some ABBA would’ve sufficed — certainly better than the argon buzz of the GTECH logo that loomed over the ‘festivities.’
