yermom Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Reading this from Kevin Smith has upped my excitment for Dark Knight (and that's saying something because I'm pretty excited about it.)"Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that's not an overstatement). It's the "Godfather II" of comic book films and three times more earnest than "Batman Begins" (and fuck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn't so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but he'll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor. Fucking flick's nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can't imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I don't know it I will make it to the theater, but I would not mind seeing both of those films. I'm sure they are out there to watch - or will be soon enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 this seems like one of those films of such wide scope, that a lot would be lost in translation by not seeing it on the big screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Perm Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I agree, if ever there was a time to hit the theater, this is it. Del Toro completely let loose, as he should have been with Hellboy 1, which still works enough, I can't wait to see him unleashed in the toy box - Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm planning at least for the Dark Knight to go back to back with viewings, how can you not? Like I said, I might as well start wearing a batsuit to work everyday, it's getting ridiculous Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lizish Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 is this the bank heist? it is. Am I guilty of a repost? BTW, one of my friends was yet again on the silver age trivia panel at Chicago con.

I wanted to make sure it wasn't something new (I don't want anything spoiled) that Sketch is awesome. I was busy all weekend trying to get artists to do free sketches of Krypto the Superdog.
