I caught it on IMAX tonight. Goddamn, I'm so happy a big budget movie from Hollywood could be so entertaining.

I really liked the Joker's magic trick.

Went to watch this yesterday, and it's soooo good. Almost everything has been said here in a better english than mine, so I will only stop on a little default: the music never stops.

The wife and I went to see it this weekend. As my wife put it after it was over - "Who's responsible for that? Whoever it is, they're great!"

saw this last week, forgot to post, but i don't think you can overstate how good Ledger is in this...

although its not worthy of an Oscar, because Oscars don't deserve to go to films like this... its better than the Oscars piffle

maybe Michael Caine can get best supporting actor because he is a genius :D

Re: The Dark Knight
 

Not to get off topic or anything, but I disagree completely. I think the fact that oscars only go to "serious" films is idiotic. Why not give best picture to a great comedy, even if it's slapstick? Or an adventure film, even if it is a summer blockbuster action spectacular? Or an animated film, even if it is...well...animated? Frankly, drama is probably one of the easier genres out there to successfully execute compared to creating great comedy, or following great action, etc. And the disrespectful view of animation is a story all to itself. But for an "oscar-worthy" drama, just do some crap like make a character sick, watch their loved ones go through the agony of seeing their friend/husband/wife/family member slowly die, everyone cries, have a bunch of tormented dialogue screamed passionately along the lines of "you don't know what it's like!", blah blah blah.

Yeah, or like a horror where Satan takes over all the religious peoples minds and there's, like, all these warning, flashing, train-wreck, red(whistling winky) signs, but, like, every is soooo compelled with the devil's pie that they don't see it. ay, ay, I mean COMEDY because it was all so funny at one time. ooops.

That'd never win anything.

Nice little article with some interesting video clips in today's Guardian.

Re: The Dark Knight
 

Anyone notice how IMDB's movie $$ earnings have not changed during the past 4 weeks or so?

Been watchmening the earnings for Dark Knight, just out of curiosity...

Re: The Dark Knight
 

Well the movie did close on March 5th in the US, so there are no more box office earnings from that date on.

The movie is still playing in other countries.
