"The Dark Knight" 2008 !!!!!!!!!

[UTtoyfan]

Had to do this:

Buttmunch, "...I'm a man of my worrd!"

Maulfan "...what I've seen and heard."

Me: Hope this movie ain't a turd!"

Ain't I a stinker! (Like I'm worried)


But seriously, when I went to get groceries yesterday, the bagboy guy was like, "You are Figuremaster Les!" And I said, "Yeah" and he said, "I have seen your website. Are you going to see Dark Knight at midnight thursday night?" and I said "Yeah" feeling kinda weirded out, but glad to know the bagboy guy was a fan, and he said, "This movie is gonna be the Godfather Part II of Comic Book movies!" and I turned around and all the people in line, women, old folks, teenagers, all of em, were nodding in agreement, YEAH, like they all thought that too!

This movie is gonna be huge! Titanic huge!

I think everyone is going. All of 'em.

Awesome story Les. EVERYBODY will be talking about this movie. You'll see. Chris Nolan will show you.

Have fun tonight, Buttmunch!!! Like I need to tell you that, hehe.

Meh, ESB is overrated anyways.

That's a can of worms that definitely shouldn't be opened in this thread.

 

[Les Walker]

Anyway....


Here are some of the DK sticker cards I have from the box set I ordered that came with the mini toys...

Check this one out!

Missing a few, and am after more, so keep a wary eye out for some. Might be in stores by now.
Cool stuff! The image in my avatar came from a cool prism card. Great new images!

Just thought you guys would wanna see these.

Damn, that's cool. I just want them to come out with the Joker cards that us non-viral people can buy already!!

wtf dude, you're a SUPERSTAR! If somebody said to me "Hey, you're Kabukiman!" I'd turn around and run!

Anyone find out what the LE Score CD is?

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Saw it.

Loved it.

Very, very, very good but not quite "great". It IS flawed and I actually agree with many reviews that it's probably 20-30 minutes too long a feels a tad bloated overall. Some elements should have been trimmed, especially since others feel like they aren't given quite enough time.

It's hard for me to rate and rank something like this... something so anticipated and so hyped... immediately after the first viewing, but if pressed I'd have to put it up there with IRON MAN. Definitely one of the 2 best flicks this Summer and probably in the Top 5 superhero movies, period. It's just not the Second Coming. But it's close enough. It's better than BEGINS, and I liked that one a lot.

Anyway, I'm also a bit dazed right now. To be perfectly honest something happened today (a conversation I had) and a thread in the film mirrored it almost exactly. And that knocked me on my ass, especially due to the emotional weight and density of the movie.

I'm in a very brooding place right now.

It's good to hear that it's better than BEGINS, but how does it compare to BATMAN '89? Does it blow it out of the water on every level, or is it apples and oranges?

I would say that TDK is easily the best live action Batman film yet.

You may want to give it more than 9 minutes for a response.

There's a review up on Amazon. Doesn't sound like much extra except some cards and images. Sounds a little dissappointing.

Okay, here's a common one: Ledger, or Nicholson?

Ledger. And it's not even close.

Ya, sounds pretty lame, thankfully no significant difference in price or I might be bummed, but sounds like we get a mini poster of the awesome Batman poster where his face is made up of burnt Joker cards with the exacto knife and blood around, that's nice. Don't know why the reviewer makes a big deal of the Joker image, lame and they obviously haven't followed the marketing for the film much, sounds like the early poster artwork of the Joker, no biggy.

So one cool fold out poster, a different cover and some cards is the valuable difference between the discs.

I was contemplating on whether or not to open up a reg that was waiting for me when I got home.

Thanks for the help guys.

In desperation of all things Bat right now I killed a few minutes by reading the first few pages of this thread from back in 06. Some of the comments are pretty funny now.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Ledger. And it's not even close.

How so? And is the Joker still charismatic and funny, while being scary, or is he just grim and creepy?

 

[wofford29]

Anyone else think it's weird that all but one of the 4 negative reviews are from New York?

Jack's Joker was funny. Ledgers Joker is evil.

There ya go.

 

[Kabukiman]

Jack's Joker was funny.

I disagree. I think Jack's Joker thought he was funny, and everybody else was too afraid to tell him otherwise. I always appreciated that extra dimension to the character.
