    Here is where the scene goes, taken from that PDF (the book is obviously the same)

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    This image is from that scene: Primarily, the dialogue is a bit restructured to flow better in the finished film, specifically in the sequence where the Judge and Commissioner are killed while Joker storms Wayne's party. Also, a lot of subtle touches (Joker claiming he's NOT crazy...

    I bought the script/production art book. I was very interested in the subtle changes between finished film and that script.

    The 2 disc CD has the first release included - it's disc 1, so it's a true double-dip if anyone buys the new version and has the first release as well, as I mentioned before. The album has a TERRIBLE mix, and is clipped to the point of sounding like the average pop or rock album.

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    Like Batman said himself, he's not a hero. Looking at the lengths he will go to to accomplish a sense of justice, Batman is by no means a "hero", despite doing what he does for the sense of good. Batman may not even have known how much of a drop there was behind Harvey, as they established...

    That 'lip smacking delivery' was one of the keys to the disturbing nature of the character, and I loved every moment of it.

    FINALLY!!! I was able to witness the IMAX Experience this afternoon. Just incredible on all levels. PERFECT presentation all around. I sat in the back row center, so while the surrounds were a constant presence, they weren't overpowering at all. Not only was the sound far greater...

    And TITANIC was the success it was based on teen girls drooling over Leonardo DiCaprio....right.

    Downey's just pissed that his movie didn't make as much money. :D Seriously, I truly don't get why that kind of thing matters to anyone without a direct stake in the grosses, but to each their own.

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    This whole back-and-forth about Joker switching addresses is proof that people here tend to either skim or outright ignore what others are saying in these threads. The question about that whole thing has been asked and answered several times over, explained in detail repeatedly, and it's so...

    The only reviews I ever take seriously are DVD reviews, and not because of the film critic portion, but the technical aspects. That's something that everyone can benefit from and is much more fact-based. If there's a big discrepancy between a reviewer's A/V quality rating and a consumer's...

    I loved the post-interrogation scene with Joker and Holtz...I mean Stephens. (ANGEL fans know what I'm talking about.) "I want...my phone call, I..want-I want it! I want my phone call." "That's nice". and later, after his very funny response to how many cops he killed: "See... in...

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    No. Joker never actually saw Bruce Wayne at the party because he was on his way out to prepare for the fight after hiding Harvey in the closet. Joker said that in reaction to Batman's leap out the window to save Rachel without even thinking about it. It showed Joker that Batman really cared...

    It's funny, these similar stories about IMAX ticket reservations are making me want to see it that way even more than the descriptions of how much scope it has and all that. I'll buy a Cineplex ticket online for the next best day I can. On a side note, the theater I'm talking about (and...

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    I would have pre-purchased the ticket but I went there as a spur of the moment type of thing, something I'd been trying to do since last Saturday and had no idea that the film would be sold out there on of all days yesterday. I suddenly found that I had free time, which didn't happen since last...

    So I finally get a chance to see the IMAX version. Yesterday, I hopped on a regional transit bus (the IMAX theater is in downtown Toronto) for an hour-long ride, then a 20 minute subway ride to the theater itself. I get there for the 7PM showing and I am told that - after all that time...

    I'll seek out this "Journey To The Line" track. I mean calling something one of the greatest tracks in film score history is something I'll just have to hear.

    The Pirates scores were compiled by about six people, all emulating Zimmer's sound. Zimmer himself took over for the last one I think, but all those others were still involved. A true group effort.

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    Me too. That big string theme that introduced Gotham City as well as the near-ending of Begins with Wayne Manor being surveyed by Bruce, Alfred and Rachel sounded like Howard's contribution, and was THE highlight of that entire score.

    Steve Jablonsky, one of Zimmer's factory clones, scored Transformers. What does that tell everyone here?

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    Apparently Zimmer and Howard are old friends who wanted to work together for a long time. Zimmer was originally supposed to do Batman Begins by himself (though with Zimmer that means passing it off to his factory employees...about 3 or 4 of his clones copying his style and getting "additional...

    He does? I'm not being sarcastic. Think of the many scenes where you hear this long sustaining whining sound, that was always foreshadowing Joker's appearance throughout the film. That's not really a theme, but a kind of feeling. With Batman it's the same kind of deal. Whenever you hear...

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    What I liked about "The Dark Knight" score was that because it more or less traded the synthetic brass and strings for a real orchestral performance, it didn't come across as that typical Zimmer sound I can't stand. That big action setpiece from "Begins" that dominated the trailers (I think it...

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    It is part of the edited end credits suite in the film, and sounds relatively intact so anyone who owns the DVD can still hear it.

    Funny, when I posted that link a while back and no one mentioned it, I assumed it was completely ignored.
