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

[DjfunkmasterG]

Press Release: http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/the-dark-knight-breaks-all-sorts-of-blu-ray-sales-records.php

[bassman]

Yep. TDK kicks all kinds of ass.

This deserves a little dance!

[DjfunkmasterG]

I still think Batman Begins is the better film of the 2, but TDK is definitely better than...

BATMAN RETURNS
BATMAN FOREVER
BATMAN & ROBIN

While Heath is a better all around Joker, the first Tim Burton Batman was just a lot of fun.

[bassman]

I still think that Tommy Lee Jones' Harvey Dent/Two Face is better than Aaron Eckhart's.

Why blu-ray! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are zombies. They see an advert on tv and think, "oh, I guess my existence will cease unless I purchase this product as soon as possible!" Makes me sick, and sad... :dead::eek::(

Ummmm.....like it or not, Blu Ray/High Definition is the next step up. Everyone will one day have them just like they do now with regular DVD. I haven't upgraded yet because the price is too steep for my liking, but one day it will be affordable to everyone, much like DVD.

You remind me of those people that used to say DVD was a waste and it's no better than VHS.:lol: BR isn't as large of a step as that was, but it is obviously better. Just too high priced right now.

[MinionZombie]

Well done for TDK, says I. :)

I've got the SD-DVD, and I'm fine with that. I don't have a big enough telly to make high-def have any purpose whatsoever, and nor am I one of those bandwagon jumpers who leap from wagon to wagon at the drop of a hat, heck, you chaps should know that from both of my "VHS" short films. :p

High-def will take longer to catch on I think, and I do object to the undercurrent of "the current format is totally sh*t, even though we said it was awesome just a couple of years ago, but buy this really expensive, brand new crap that'll be out-of-date pretty quick and then you'll wish you'd just waited a little longer, saved up the money, and bought a better player when you decided to dip your toe in the water according to your own schedule, and not according to the whims of some advertising bastards who are overjoyed at the chance to deep-throat products into your body like a giddy serpent" ... *gasp* ... I've been watching a lot of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe lately. :D

[blind2d]

I notice how no one disputes my remark that people are zombies...
We really need to put out that new album before it's too late!

[AcesandEights]

I wonder what the highest selling Betamax cassette title was...:D

[bassman]

So people are zombies because they purchase a new (good) movie?:rockbrow: That doesn't really count as one of the things that make people zombies, imo.
New album? You mean your band, The Gorillaz?:clown: I couldn't help meself....

Aces - I don't know what the highest selling Betamax was, but I bet Sony sure was glad to win the HD war after losing that VHS/Betamax war...

[AcesandEights]

I bet Sony sure was glad to win the HD war after losing that VHS/Betamax war...

Hehe, that didn't even cross my mind...hell, I wasn't aware of the original 'players' in the VHS/Betamax tangle. Good point, Bassman.

[blind2d]

Yes... what other band am I in?
But seriously, why do people feel the need to purchase something they've already seen, and in all likelihood will only watch 2-5 more times until completely forgetting about it? You can't watch movies with no electricity, and you can't make a fire without burning some houses.

[DjfunkmasterG]

I dispute it. I am a cinemaphile and while I prefer HD-DVD is Blu-Gay gives me my movie fix in HD then so be it. I am a sucker for quality sound and video and DVD just doesn't cut it anymore.

[blind2d]

Sorry to hear that...

So we should not buy things that we like? Is that what you're saying?

Yesterday I found a cool deck of cards with a Dawn of the Dead motife. I bought it? Am I a zombie?

[AcesandEights]

Did Ned just defend Kapitalism?

Thank you sweet baby Hayzeus, it's a Christmas miracle!

:p

[DjfunkmasterG]

NED


Glad to see you come over to the dark side. Just so you know, we have cookies.

[darth los]

I wonder what the highest selling Betamax cassette title was...:D

I have no idea but it sure wasn't a porn title. Probably the reason they went under, lol.




:cool:

No, it wasn't me! It was my evil twin-brother, Ted!

For a price of course.

Watching Harvey Dent get zombified was awesome!
"Your civilized people will end up eating themselves".

[slickwilly13]

Finally watched it last night. Great movie. Too bad he's dead. I would like to have seen him as the Joker, again. Btw, Batman growling was funny.

[SRP76]

The movie was alright. Nowhere near worth the hype it gets. And this version of the Joker is the most overrated thing I've ever witnessed, ever. I don't see what's so wonderful about it or Ledger, other than the fact he's dead.

i just got a late surprise christmas prezzy in the form of a ps3, so given im getting a good hd tv in the sales with my crimbo money i reckon ill have to grab this one on bluray.

I never doubted ya for an instant, Hellsing ;)

[ProfessorChaos]

my parents have yet to see TDK, so i'm taking it over to their place this weekend. my dad actually saw batman begins for me and told me it was the best batman film he'd seen, so i'm sure he's gonna love TDK....mind you've i've not made the blu-ray leap yet, and i doubt i will anytime in the next year.

[DjfunkmasterG]

*pimp hand backslap*

BLU-RAY RETARD!:rolleyes::lol:

DAMN, MZ has no retort to the PIMP hand. the most lethal of all Kung Fu styles.

and to add insult to injury, he pimp hands him, then calls him a bitch. DA-YUMMMMMM :lol:

[MinionZombie]

and to add insult to injury, he pimp hands him, then calls him a bitch. DA-YUMMMMMM :lol:
And in return I will simply scoff at hellsing ... and tell him to "stop being so white" ... ooh, the social satire...:p

Also, pfft to the "pimp hand", how about a slice of good old British "meh". Yep ... "meh". :p

Well you never know, hellsing was bitching and moaning about Batman Begins because it was "*sigh* another origin story".

Right, I'm off to Gears of War 2.

[DjfunkmasterG]

in honor of the UFC style smackdown between hellsing and Minion Zombie I have change the title under my name to Fears The Pimp Hand.


I dunno if a Meh is going to cut it MZ, maybe you should have thrown out a whatever, and coupled it with a snicker, then the finger. a 3 move attack like that can sometimes render your opponent weak.


Sits back with Popcorn in hand cheering for an exciting finale.

Suddenly this thread is getting very entertaining!

[Danny]

*kicks the door open adn enters with a smoke machine and back lighting set up, surrounded by "bitches" and "oh skeet,skeet mu'-fu'er, oh skeet,skeet,skeet, skeet" playing overhead. the attire appears to be a purple leather suit with diamond cane, zebra print hat and cape, with a garish peacock feather in the hat at a roguish angle. -a silent awe permeates the air.


he is big daddy white bread. and you are all his bitches*

[MinionZombie]

*fleeting glance at hellsing, who has disturbed me momentarily from my slumber ... thinks he looks like a bit of a nob dressed like that ... lets out a groggy giggle*

*goes back to sleep*

This kind of British-patented "meh"-ing is exactly why we ended up with Labour for a 3rd term in a row, that kind of back-handed laziness and "meh"-ing is something to be reckoned with.

[DjfunkmasterG]

I came here for entertainment, not a reason to fall alseep.


Let the PIMP slapping begin. :D

[MinionZombie]

You know what happens to pimps? They get shot or arrested, or die of drug overdoses, or their balls fizzle off with some vastly rank STD ... hellsing's welcome to the pimp lifestyle. :D

Unless he means the glossy, MTV versions of pimpage ... ... then you have to hang around with either Tim Westwood or Xzibit ... ... you're quite welcome to both, dear hellsing. :lol:

[clanglee]

:(

Well this is no fun at all.

:(

You are just too british for your own good MZ. You need to break out the fishtank platforms and the gold pleated pantsuit with the leapordskin cape. Then powder that hand so he knows where it hit him!!

Meh:| lost the empire my son son. A good bitchslap could get it all back again plus Pakistan!!

With all this talk of bitch slapping and such in a TDK thread, I'm surprised nobody has threatened a magic trick.:p

And while I'm here I thought I would share this. Kinda funny when you think about how the last series of Batman films was geared toward children and merchandising...

r1gBlkXv8Sc&hl=en&fs=1

[MinionZombie]

hehe, funny stuff.

I do look forward to the sure-to-come flood of internet TDK "memes", or whatever they're called...the good ones, not the sh*t ones anyway.

Like that one with the Joker not understanding Batman's growly voice, that's still hilarious to me - I just love it when he gets punched yet again and he screws his face up, sighing "oh god..." :p

[blind2d]

could you perchance post a link or sumfink? Sounds well 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...

[ProfessorChaos]

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.

[DjfunkmasterG]

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. :D

What would Batman do if crime ended in Gotham? (http://joblo.com/batmans-next-job)

[Philly_SWAT]

What would Batman do if crime ended in Gotham? (http://joblo.com/batmans-next-job)

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.

[bassman]

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.

just watched it on bluray on my new swankass 1080p big screen tv adn its one hell of a good movie even on rewatches its not lost its charm, bale still bugs me as batman , as wayne i can dig him but still that voice, like a female darts player from hull whos low on her proscribed estrogen pills.

Geeeeeeezus, you folks put waaaaaaay too much effort into not liking the Bat-voice. :rolleyes:

[major jay]

I noticed some sharp edits where there should be some decent violence.
I'm guessing they'll be releasing a few special editons soon. :|

Sharp edits? :rockbrow:

I think you're just seeing things. There's been similar talk at the Melon Farmer's website, particularly concerning the knife-in-mouth bit. People thought it was cut, but after close inspection it hasn't been - people were just thinking it was more violent from when they saw it in the cinema.

I haven't noticed any cuts at all.

[major jay]

What I was trying to say is not edited from the original release but as if there was much more filmed than what made the theatrical cut. There (the edits) are all over the place. One in particular is when the Joker takes Gordon hostage. I'm just thinking they will be releasing a Director's cut down the line to entice people to buy another copy of the movie.

[ProfessorChaos]

they should've just gone for an R rating anyways, but the greedy fucks at WB knew this film was gonna rake in some serious flow, so they sucked enough cock at the MPAA to get a PG-13 slapped on it so they could milk the kiddies for every dime their parents are willing to spend.

i say they should release an unrated version, complete with fucking BLOOD...that's the only gripe i have about the film is the lack of realism when it comes to violence. for instance, that bank manager in the opening scene should've been laying in a pool of his own blood, the dude who got a pencil through the skull should've left a big bloody splat on the table, etc.

FUCK CENSORSHIP.:mad:

[Mike70]

i got my hands on a copy of this the other day and watched it for the first time. i thought it was pretty awesome for an empty headed superhero action movie.

[MinionZombie]

Well it's not really censorship, The Dark Knight works very well as a PG-13 and indeed that was the aim - and it's not like the previous Batman flicks were hard "R" films, we're not in a Die Hard 4 situation here.

Speaking of which - Max Payne - fuck me silly that's a tame-ass film, even the "unrated" version is tame and silly with it's CGI puffs of 'blood' and the odd muffled "motherfucker" tossed in. Mind you, Max Payne is a terrible movie ... TDK is fucking awesome! Nuff said really.

As for the MPAA - what really stinks is pinching off a tube of brown onto Zack & Miri Make A Porno, purely because of it's smutty mouth and the word "Porno" in the title - that is pathetic.

Mike:

empty headed superhero action movie

You're high ... right? :rockbrow:

[bassman]

Okay.....*cracks batman fan knuckles*

As for the violence and blood:

A) No directors cut. The film we got IS the directors cut. Nolan has stated many times that there were only a few MINOR edits here and there but no scenes and nothing to do with violence. Just a few extra minutes to an existing scene or an alternate angle. This was the film he intended to make.

B) Someone referenced the Gambol face-slice scene...that's the way it was filmed. It was never intended to show the actual slashing of the face. Nolan found it more terrifying to show the other people's reactions instead of the actual violence. But if you pay close enough attention to when the Joker rises out of the garbage bags, he cuts the two goons on the sides of the pool table straight up the gut.;)

C) This film was never going to be R and nor will there ever be such a version. There's quite a bit of violence and blood in the film if you think about it. The fake batman with the cut smile, harvey's fucked up face, and few minor things. The only time it was actually held back was in the interrogation room scene. They had blood on hand to put on Joker's face when Batman beats him, but in the end they decided that the performances and the fucked up make up on ledger made it convincing enough.

Okay...that's it for the violence thing. Now Mike....WHAT?!?!? Did you watch this film?:stunned:

Explain......

[Mike70]

Mike:
You're high ... right? :rockbrow:

usually i'd say yes but no i'm not. i didn't really see anything that intellectually stimulating about the dark knight. it was an awesome movie but still just a loud and ultimately empty actiony flick.


you know i could be having a pull on all your chains and being a bit of a devil's advocate because of all the hoopla that has surrounded this film:evil:

[capncnut]

I'll admit The Dark Knight is the best Batman flick I've seen and a damn good movie worthy of owning...

...but it ain't The Godfather, it ain't 2001 and it ain't Double Indemnity. Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie but seriously overhyped and flogged to death.

no sir no it is not:)

[bassman]

I don't think anyone around here claims that it's The Godfather or Ben Hur or whatever great film. Morons on imdb do....but they don't count.:p

It's not your average comic book film and there are definitely several social undertones flowing throughout the film. Hell....the trailers give one of them away. "I see now what I must become to stop a man like him."

Nolan has injected a great deal of real world issues into his films. His Batman films are probably the best at that sort of thing since Richard Donner's "Superman: The Movie". Raimi did a nice little slice with Spiderman 2, as well.

It's no Shawshank, but its definitely at the top of the superhero chain of command, imo. And VERY entertaining...

[Mike70]

It's no Shawshank, but its definitely at the top of the superhero chain of command, imo. And VERY entertaining...

i agree that it is a damn entertaining flick and probably the best superhero movie out there but isn't that deep. it isn't supposed to be, it's a damn superhero action movie not "winter light" or "hour of the wolf."

[MinionZombie]

The Dark Knight does what many other superhero movies haven't been able to do - bust out of their genre and be something a bit more.

Even though there's nothing "super" about Bruce Wayne/Batman beyond hard-graft training and lots of tech.

TDK has many thought-provoking issues within it - the true meaning of a "hero", the whole 'Harvey Dent is the hero Gotham needs', despite his turn to the dark side, and then blaming Batman 'because he can take it' was a big issue.

There's also the issue of surveilance with the phone tracker thing - and Fox's disgust at the sheer invasion of privacy of it all, and his moral stand against it - but also the idea that it helped them catch the Joker once and for all ... interesting.

Then the big one being the moral dilemma of the two boats - one with citizens, one with (mostly) criminals, and they each hold the power to destroy the other's boat in order to save themselves - this issue alone had me, and the dude I went to see TDK with in the cinema, talking the whole way home - ultimately getting us onto the whole use of CCTV in real world Britain.

There's the idea of The Joker just being someone who "wants to watch the world burn" - he has no real motive, or wants or needs, he just does what he does.

The film is packed with such thoughts, and these elements come out even more with repeated viewings.

Also - nice summary of the violence issue, hellsing. :)

I myself was quite stunned upon the first reveal of Two Face - and this is in a 12A rated movie! :eek:

[bassman]

Well said, MZ.

Like I said, I don't think it ranks with the best films in history, BUT....there is one scene that I think does. The ending with Batman on the run and Gordon making his "hero we deserve" speech. That scene is powerful as hell if you ask me. I get emotional everytime I see it. But i'm also a life long batman fan, so it's probably a bit different to the casual viewer. Someone finally got the idea behind the character and portrayed it correctly. Suck on that Burton and Shumacher...

lol, yeah - suck on that you two! :D

Ah mate, The Dark Knight is just superb - although I did push it into my Top 10 ... but I might settle it in my Top 20 ... I'll have to have a think about that a little further.

I've been meaning to blog up my Top 50 actually, with little bits of chat about each of them - it's not a numerical order list, the best I could do was five groups of ten and order those five groups ... with an Honourable Mentions category at the end. :)

Will do that later...

[bassman]

TDK didn't get a video game tie in, but some fans gave it one.

But it's on older systems....:lol:

While I don't heap all the praise on TDK as most people do, I think the two Chris Nolan Batman films are the Best of the Batman Franchise in terms of how they handle the Batman story. I just think a lot of the hype surrounding TDK is undeserved.

Burtons Batman, while entertaining is too over the top, and Schumaker turned him into a flamboyant A-sexual persona, which made him laughable.

[blind2d]

Tim Burton is King. That said, GAR is Emperor. That said, TDK is a small province neither really pays much attention to. That said, I'm done.

[AcesandEights]

I hear that the Dark Knight craft services table was the best thing since Citizen Kane!

True story.

[blind2d]

That's cool... not really all that important, but cool...

[bassman]

Tim Burton is King.

Tim Burton used to make great films. Now he just makes the same dark shit over and over. The only good film he's made since Ed Wood was Big Fish. Other than that...nadda.

[DjfunkmasterG]

Tim Burton is King. That said, GAR is Emperor. That said, TDK is a small province neither really pays much attention to. That said, I'm done.

Tim Burton is someone for Gay Emo fanboys to jerk off too. The man has maybe made 3 good films in his entire career.

BeetleGuise
Edward Scissorhands
Batman (89)


However, Burtons Batman, on its best day couldn't hold the urinating penis of Nolans Batman on a Bad day.

:lol:

*high five!*

Did you see Burton's Big Fish, DJ? If you haven't you should check it out. It's very different from most of his work. Actually....if you watched it without knowing it was his film you would never guess it. Plus...Billy Crudup and Ewen Mcgregor are awesome. No Johnny Depp in that one....can you believe it?



And something I just found...

Hilarious! I love MST3K! Awesome!

[bassman]

Just a reminder to everyone that The Dark Knight is being re-released into IMAX theaters this Friday, the 23rd. If you haven't seen it in IMAX, get your ass to it. It's definitely worth it. It will be like you never saw the film before...

[AcesandEights]

Wait, a tick. Bassman, how long was it out of iMax theaters for, anyway? I know it was playing at the iMax by me just a month or so back.

[bassman]

I'm sure it stuck around in some Imax theaters for awhile, but a majority of them quit playing it around Oct/Nov of 08. It's being released again this Friday. It's also being released in some regular cinemas I think....

Warner Bros is doing it as a little push for the Oscars.:rolleyes:

I'm serious though....if you haven't seen it on Imax. GO. It's an awesome experience. Especially for you HD freaks out there. *glances at DJ*

i didn't think this deserves its own thread, but has anyone else read the internet rumors about megan fox playing catwoman in the next nolan batman film? although i wouldn't throw her trashy-looking ass out of bed, i still think it'd be a TERRIBLE idea to place her into the cast. please just let this be some out-of-control intrawebz rumor....:confused::confused::confused:

i really doubt she'll be in there, but if for some fucked-beyond-belief reason she is, that will take the 3rd batman film in a direction similar to the 3rd spider-man film.:|:|:|

:lol::lol::lol:

That's always the bottom line isn't it? LOL

It's one thing to talk shit about a woman but the real litmus test is would you kick her out of bed. A man after my own heart. You only said what we all think.


But yeah, they've been doing extremely well with this new batman "formula" so far. I'd hate to see them deviate from that.









:cool:

There have been rumors about "Who's going to play Supervillain X in the next Batman film" floating around the 'net since the BBS days, lol.

Batman casting rumors and pr0n are the fuel which keeps the internet running...

Guys....come on. It was The Sun that started this rumor about Megan Fox. The same people behind the Eddie Murphy as Riddler rumor. :rolleyes:

Obviously Chris Nolan is smarter than all that. However.....there is a rumor floating around that might be true. Nolan may be considering filming the entire film in the Imax format. IF that turns out to be true....it would be the first in history and should be freakin awesome if the Imax scenes in TDK are any indication.

And speaking of Nolan....the teaser for his latest, "Inception" was released a few days back. Looks trippy. And i've liked every Nolan film to date, so i'll be there opening night.:)

Hmmm, that looks pretty decent. I liked the variation of the Joker's theme.
