Agreed. Really good post. I netflixed TDK and watched it yesterday. I liked it better the second time than I did the first. I think the difference was that I was more successful turning off my brain than I was the first time. It seems that a key premise is that Gotham residence can't...

So, as the double CD set is not out until December, you're listening to a preview copy? At that price, they can stuff it.

How the second part interview should have continued. Q. So you've made a very violent film to show the futility of violence? Nolan: I know, what a pile of bullshit right? (Laughs). Busted. It's about keeping the fan boys happy. Shit any Batman movie can make a ton of cash just by ditching...

One example ... YouTube - guinness ad

I understand the intent and it would be nice. It would also be nice if actors returned portions of their salaries when they don't draw theatre goers as expected but that doesn't happen either. In essence, producers and the stockholders behind them pay the money and take their chances...

Your points are fine but a bit much. I guess we define 'brilliant' differently, your definition more in line with the Guinness commercials. White Knight contrasted with the Dark Knight ... brilliant. If that's a brilliant idea, there are thousands of cowboy films you might find ...

Do you have a credible source for Depp wanting that part and being turned down? BIG difference between Ledger in a movie that he completed with a timely release versus a film he only partially filmed before his death AND will be released in 2009 (news stale at that point) AND three actors...

Your other points are fine but you're dreaming about ANY actor drawing people as the Joker even coming CLOSE to what a tragically dead actor did for the film. That's not just free publicity but also the curiosity of the paying public. No doubt the film continue to do well because it's a home...

Kirk: Thanks for that article/post. Some interesting discussion. Some factors include: 1. That there are bombs. 2. That the bombs would work and to what degree. 3. That the information provided to the people on the ferry is true i.e. that there are people with detonators effectively...

I see it differently. By the time the words 'nobody leaves the boat or I'll blow it up' were said, I'd be over the side. The biggest danger coming from the rush of people following me into the water.

I really didn't have a problem with the two ferry scenario but to read you guy talking up moral behavior this ... or social experiment that ... Nonsense. People wouldn't be waiting a tick for anyone to make a decision affecting their lives. You would be doing the same thing I'd be doing...

Okay, then what are his first two options?

Chuck, Thanks for the info. Now back to what you wrote. You mentioned Batman always finds a third option. I see two rational options: He goes after Harvey or he goes after Rachel. So what is Batman's third option?

Unless I nodded off (a possibility) it looked like he (Batman) went to rescue Dent while sending others after Rachel.

He sure didn't find any third option when having to select between Harvey and Rachel, now did he?

You make some very good points. The problem with the 'plotter without a plan' as I see it is two-fold: 1. You end up without a sustainable super villain. Who's going to work for the guy and for how long? 2. The Joker has a plan. He knows the changes in Gotham and the impact on the...

That's fine. All comic book hero films require some suspension of disbelief. Tell me that a superhero can fly ... no problem. But if you put said superhero in the mortal world, I expect that the mortal world to behave that way. For example, tell me that the villain murders people by...

Like everyone else I thought that Heath Ledger take on The Joker was terrific. The scene with him blowing stuff up with a remote coming out of a hospital dressed as nurse is one for the ages. But the film itself, it wasn't much. Naturally I'm aware that fanboys are going crazy about this...
