Hells, yeah.
I agree totally. I was one of the idiots who saw the 12:01 showing in Camarillo. I haven’t felt that great about 10 dollars out of my pocket in a long time, oh….and the 17 dollars for a popcorn and two cokes. Christian Bale is great but still has a long way to go before he gets to this point.

freaking awesome.
best movie of the summer, hands down.
I really want to see it in IMAX…
To me, it had a bit of the Jerry McGuire Syndrome. I was told it would change my life. It didn’t. It was a spectacular movie. But I no longer believe that seeing a movie will make me a better person or somehow insure my induction to the Cool Guy Hall of Fame.
Go see it, though. Like, now.
Summer movies that lived up to their hype and then some.
2007 : The Bourne Ultimatum
2008 : The Dark Knight
I’m still unpacking it, and I was as hyped as anyone.
I saw it at IMAX at 1:45 am. So worth it. I say Oscar nominations for Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart and Gary Oldman are in order.
Yea, I had qualms about the whole talk of a posthumous Oscar nom for Heath Ledger, but then I saw The Dark Knight. Holy Freakin’ Oscar worthy performance, Batman…err. Joker.
For about the first 15 minutes, with all that exposition, I found myself thinking. “Hmm… perhaps I’ve been set up, yet again, with impossible expectations. I mean… this is good, but it’s not going to rock me.”
Then we came to the scene with all the mobsters, where Heath first really does his thing, and I thought… “Oh. Ok. That’s that, then.”
I haven’t stopped thinking about that movie for 5 straight days now. I’m going to go again and take my dad to an Imax show. I can’t wait.
When? We’ll be there!
I TRIED to go see it. The phone rang. I had to leave not long after the bank robbery… sigh…. maybe next week.
Next time, I’m turning the phone OFF.
Well, you saw the most important part. The rest was pretty ho-hum.
I just got home from a 2nd look at this movie. My dad hadn’t seen it, so we caught a late show at the local multiplex.
I’ve heard several people attempt to explain away the phenomenon that this thing has become as, “Well… it’s only this big because of Heath Ledger’s death.”
After a 2nd look, I would just like to attempt to dispel that notion. This movie is becoming a cultural phenomenon because it’s one of the finest pieces of filmmaking I’ve seen in several years. The script is bulletproof, the acting is unbelievable, the action is exciting, and the themes are epic and relevant.
The Dark Knight is a movie for grown-ups. Don’t let the PG-13 rating fool you. This is an R-rated movie. The fact that the studio wanted to get it in with a PG-13 rating only means we’re spared the worst of the violence directly on screen, but this is an R. It’s an R in the same way that The Godfather, or Michael Clayton is an R. It’s a movie for adults with brains.
This is still my favorite scene from the movie. I think it captures the essence of Christopher Nolan’s vision. I. Smell. Oscar.
I smell… something else.
