Boner Kawanger Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Also keep in mind that the scene that gets the most complaints-when Batman quotes Harvey's line about heroes and villains-he is short of breath and grunting because he just survived a three story fall. (Psychology~! Selling~!)
RedJed Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Is this the previously talked about IMAX rerelease or are they putting it back on regular screens too? They said they were doing this to keep it fresh in the academy voters minds (as if they'd somehow forget in the year of the batman) but something tells me it might have something to do with that money, money. ...yeah yeah. It's too bad it isnt being re-released in the IMAX because I never got to seeing it there, and would gladly do so if it came back. In a regular theater though.....nah. It's ironic they are talking of a re-release as well as its still playing on a good amount of screens nationwide, mostly in the discount second run ones. I think it was even still pulling about 200-300K a week as of a few weeks ago. Not quite sure how it can even be called a "re-release" in that case anyway. Another idea that would really get them to justify a re-release....if they added addtional Heath Ledger scenes or even a quick 10-15 minute piece regarding him, although I'm sure we will see such in the DVD release anyway, in the special features, deleted scenes, etc. One would think they would figure something special out to really get people back in the theaters again to see it one more time, hopefully passing the billion dollar mark in the process.
Guest Smues Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 I liked the Dark Knight. I thought it was a REALLY GOOD BUT NOT GREAT movie. And I understand why others think it is GREAT. But this dick sucking of everything that is DARK KNIGHT on the internet treating it like OMG BEST MOVIE EVER and ignoring ANY criticism of it makes me hope it stays #2 in domestic gross behind TITANIC. A movie I FUCKING HATED. Good job internet. Titanic was fucking awful. *yes, I'm drunk. I'd feel the same sober, I just wouldn't bother to post it. OFFER BURNT SACRIFICES TO THE ALL MIgHTy DARK KnIGHT. HAIL DARK KnIGHT, HAIL DARK KNIGHT!

OFFER BURNT SACRIFICES TO THE ALL MIgHTy DARK KnIGHT. HAIL DARK KnIGHT, HAIL DARK KNIGHT! I actually agree with you about it being really good but not great. I've stated before to people, and maybe on here when it first came out, that I saw TDK the same weekend as HELLBOY II and thought that HELLBOY was mch better. I enjoyed it a lot more than I did TDK. I don't hate on anyone for liking TDK, but as Smues stated, it's far from the best movie ever as some people like to make it out to be.
Shooter in a Wedding Dress Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 The post had an article about it possibly beating Titanic because of this rerelease. I tried to go see it in Imax but was stoned and got distracted by some 3d movie about the ocean. This time I'm gonna be smart and smoke when I get there.
Ravenbomb Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 No, it's not the best movie ever, but I do think it's one of the two best movies this year (it's damn close between this and The Wrestler).
Brett Favre Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 I think part of the reason, well at least my reasoning, as to why I like it maybe more than I should is because I liked Batman Beings so much. And to me, The Dark Knight was like a better Batman Begins. Add waiting for the movie to come out for a few years, reading each update on what's going on, how the Joker is going to look, etc. all that adds to anticipation, and when the movie turns out to be really good, it's going to be looked at a bit better than it would have if there was no buildup.
Downhome Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I got this in the mail from Warner on BD. Good God, there's no telling how many times I'll watch this at home. Mah dawgs are hawngry!

Again, I ask, what is it to you (or anyone else) if some people say that this is the best movie they've ever seen? Seriously, why do you give THAT much of a shit what someone else's "best movie ever" is?
Corey_Lazarus Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Because it's not Ghostbusters, which IS the greatest fucking movie ever made.
Blade2kxx Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Because it's not Ghostbusters, which IS the greatest fucking movie ever made. Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, & Frank Darabont say hello.
Ravenbomb Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Robert DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, and Martin Scorsese say fuck those three guys.
The Niggardly King Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Min-sik Choi, Ji-tae Yu, and Chan-wook Park say they run this game.
bobobrazil1984 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 The Dark Knight is in my Top 5. I think some people underestimate how long some of us have been waiting for this kind of Batman-Joker story on film, and how much love some people have for this Killing Joke esque dynamic between the two. This movie has everything I ever wanted out of a Joker story, it's fantastic. Its almost like an alternate version of TKJ, in which Joker targets Harvey instead of Gordon. I can't wait to get it on DVD today (Incidently that movie with Freeman, Robbins, and Darabont is my #1)
Anakin Flair Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Picked up the 2 disc special edition, and I must say I am not impressed. 2 Featuretts, Gotham Tonight news blurgs, and all of the IMAX-filmed scenes presented in their correct display ratio, trailers, a free digital copy- and that's it. I remember reading that there were going to be a bunch more special features, and for twenty bucks... I'm seriously thinking about exchanging this for the one disc edition.

NoCalMike Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 The blu-ray edition is on it's way to my house. Are the special features the same as the standard 2-disc'r?

That's a plus, but at the same time I could have bought the one disc version, then ripped the movie to my iPod.
Darthtiki Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 If the Digital copy is anything like how Disney does theirs, it's more of a voucher to DL from iTunes Did Best Buy have anything good with their 2-disc, I didn't get my ad on Sunday?
Boner Kawanger Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I read elsewhere that they had a choice between a miniature Batman or Joker mask, probably on the same scale as the V mask from their V for Vendetta DVD.
Darthtiki Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I'll just wait and see if I get it for Christmas. The Batman Begins giftset was infinitely better than all the special sets released with TDK other than the Blu-ray Batpod or the FYE steelcase
The Ghost of bps21 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 That's because they'll be able to sell a gazillion more with a better set the year Batman 3 comes out.
Dandy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Just picked up the two-disc set, and the ol' lady is about to make it home. Time to settle in and watch this thing on the new 65" TV!
Anakin Flair Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 The blu-ray edition is on it's way to my house. Are the special features the same as the standard 2-disc'r? The Blue Ray disc also includes: Batman Tech - the incredible gadgets and tools Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight - delve into the psyche of Bruce Wayne and the world of Batman througn real-world psychology. These two specials were on the History Channel when TDK first came out, and were pretty interesting. I was looking forward to getting these with the normal version... silly me.
CBright7831 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Posted December 11, 2008 The Golden Globe nominees will be announced tomorrow...I wonder what chance TDK will have in those.
DrVenkman PhD Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Because it's not Ghostbusters, which IS the greatest fucking movie ever made. Amen to that. Anyway I'm sure we've all read about the poor transfer to standard DVD that was done (along with the missing extras that only Blu-Ray snobs get) just to ensure more Blu-Ray sales. Has anyone else noticed the transfer issues that were complained about, or we the people who got review copies just looking too hard?
Agent_Bond34 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 I dunno but after managing to score my 1 disc copy from Best Buy today for $10 (Reward Certificate for $5 which brought it from $15) I'm not even gonna argue about it. I never even bother with the extras for some reason.
Anakin Flair Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 I thought it looked fine, but I don't have a high-quality tv or dvd player, so I'm not the best judge.
NoCalMike Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 I am watching it right now and the one thing that does stick out to me is Batman's grunt voice. I know much was said of it during it's theatrical run, and honestly I don't remembering noticing/being that bothered by it watching the movie for the first time, but watching the movie now after kind of knowing to listen for it makes it really stick out and seem overbearingly annoying.
