Please keep using those spoiler tags when appropriate. I all most went to see it today, but my job interfered. It's just a tragedy this is Ledger's last performance on Earth.

 

[Obdurate]

I'm hoping to see it tomorrow, but I won't be able to get there and get my popcorn and all that until probably 6:50 and it starts at 7:15 and I'm not sure that's early enough to be there. If not tomorrow maybe Monday because I'd get there a little earlier. But fuck I don't want to wait until Monday.

:willy_nilly: i can't wait we're going @ 6:45 i'm soooooo excited and you guys that have seen it are adding to the suspense of getting to FINALLY see it!! I CANT WAIT!!!

The best Batman movie ever made and Heath Ledger's best role, however it's not a happy film. BTW, have you ever heard how Christian Bale talks in real life? He speaks much clearer in his roles... (not a cut on the English accent either.) The first film I ever saw him in? TCM's Treasure Island with Charlton Heston, one of my favorite movies.

He's welsh, so of course no body understands him

(Seriously though... Worst casting ever for Alfred)

Neva!
GET IT? GET IT? I'M CLEVER, SEE THAT REFERENCE, SEE IT?

We disagree on that, btw, but your avatar doesn't make me want to debate it with you.




So I'm going to see this todaaaaaaaaaay. Since Nolan was influenced by Heat a lot, can I assume that there's an emphasis put on detective Batman?
And some jackass spoiled the ending for me on the IMDB forums. The thread was called "Those who don't want spoilers" or something like that and I'm an idiot so I clicked it. Oh well.

Yeah, don't ever trust IMDB.

just saw the new batman tonight...as much as I was thinking that no one could replace jack as the joker I was wrong...heath really stepped it up and did a fantastic job...its sad that he wont be able to do it again...RIP


38 to go

 

[Obdurate]

Yeah it was a really fantastic movie. Too early to give a good review though so it'll come when I'm not so tired.

 

[SouthOfHeaven]

i'm so grouchy they oversold my tickets on saturday so i didnt get to see my movie this weekend :willy_nilly: and i was sooo excited too

 

[Maulds]

Finally...I am seeing it in 3 hours :willy_nilly:

 

[Zorak]

I might be seeing it Friday, but I might wait until Wednesday, when I can get one free ticket.

Maybe completely free depending on if anyone at the cinema I know is working at the desk

 

[lovinglife45]

i HAVE IMAX TICKETS TONIGHT AT 10:20PM ITS WAS SOLD OUT ALL WEEKEND AND IM SURE ITS SOLD OUT THROUGHOUT THE WEEK NOW. I HOPE IT MEETS EXPECTATIONS

 

[dt3]

Saw it yesterday, loved it!!!

 

[SouthOfHeaven]

i have yet to hear one negative reaction to this movie.. thats unheard of!

 

[Obdurate]

Ah I've seen some.

What I'm really waiting for is the backlash though. Right now you see occasional negative reviews and tons of insanely praising reviews, so eventually there's going to be a movement against the movie that says "this is the most overrated movie ever." In fact, I'd be surprised if someone didn't already make a thread entitled just that on IMDB already. Seems to be the way it goes.

And then we'll get the anti-backlash.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, think of the reactions to movies like Donnie Darko, American Beauty or Fight Club. It's funny watching opinions sway back and forth so much that it dictates if it's okay to like a movie.

 

[SouthOfHeaven]

oh i know its inevitable..

It's cool to hate!

 

[Obdurate]

Word!

When No Country for Old Men won Best Picture at the Oscars, and I'm not lying or exaggerating, someone literally made a thread on IMDB within 30 seconds of its victory calling it the most overrated Oscar winner ever. What, this person was just sitting on IMDB waiting for that?

 

[SouthOfHeaven]

see i didnt like no country.. it REALLY bored me..
