The Dark Knight Appreciation Thread (nee Highest Blu-Ray Sales)

[clanglee]

This one is kinda long. . but pretty funny.

Check out this footage from Chicago while they were filming and you can see Ledger in full Joker make up riding around on a skateboard. Something about it is just funny to me. Maybe they'll have it on the next dvd because it looks like they're filming it... At the :23 mark

Cool! Erfm, I mean, neat, yeah, looks good.

someone should change the title of this thread into just "the dark knight appreciation thread"....i think the blu-ray part of the conversation is irrelevant, and and there appears to be lots of TDK stuff to discuss yet.

someone PM MZ I am sure he will do it. I can't change the title once anyone has replied. HPOTD doesn't give those permissions. WHICH SUCKS!

MZ to the rescue, have some of that in your "smike and pope it" ... which I said last night when talking about the tagline for Pineapple Express, which I got on DVD yesterday.

What would Batman do if crime ended in Gotham?

What would Batman do if crime ended in Gotham? LOL! My deal with the Dark Knight is this....I saw it during its first week in the theater. I thought it was really good. When I got home, I went to imdb to see what kind of feedback it was getting. To my surprise, it was already ranked as the greatest movie of all time !? Surpassing the Godfather which had been number 1 forever. Weeks later, I read some articles that fanboys were signing up at imdb just to vote TDK as number one, and giving the Godfather low ratings to drive it down (which would explain why the Shawshank Redemption also passed The Godfather during this time). I think this shows that imdb should not allowing any voting on a movie until well after its release date, giving fanboy furor time to die down before ridiculous vote skewing such as this. I thought the Dark Knight was very good, however I dont think it was so good that it should immediately be considered the greatest movie of all time.

Yeah....the imdb thing is a joke. It's making it's way down the list now. Currently at number five. Which is still too high, imo. It's a good film and definitely one of the best of all the Batman films, but some people are just stretching it.

Dont know if you saw a thread I started a few weeks (months?) ago about imdb and Dawn of the Dead(1978), but in a nutshell I was complaining that its overall rating was finally high enough to be in the top 250 list, but it isnt there. Upon researching the FAQ on imdb, I found that they have a secret way of deciding what will be in the list and what wont. They go out of their way to say they are not going to explain what that secret way is.
