Wanted it supposed to be a decent action flick in and of itself. It got pretty good reviews.
Go see Dark Knight anyways. ;D

A few weeks old now that pic (It was from the British Grand Prix). It would of been better if the driver's helmets had the Bat Ears on them. Also of note during a testing session the F1 car drove around the track with the Tumbler.

Weekend Estimates are out.
Dark Knight looks to have pulled in another $75.63 million. This is a little over a 50% drop, but actually shows great legs when you compare apples to apples. Last weekend Dark Knight had 18.5M in Midnight Screenings to count towards it's totals, plus 3AM and 6AM showings all weekend long at many theaters. It had neither of these things this weekend and still managed a low 50's% drop. If you take out the midnight showings alone this is a lot a less then a 50% drop, let alone the 3AM and 6AM showings.
Actuals will be out Monday afternoon.

If estimates hold Iron Man will still be at number one for the year with $314,615,301. The Dark Knight would be right behind it with $314,245,000. When actuals come out tha total could go up enough to put it at number one, stay roughly the same, or drop a bit.
Also, this is the biggest second weekend in history. It also became the fastest to $300 million. It did it in 10 days, previous record was Dead Man's Chest at 16 days. Yet another two records.

Saw it a second time yesterday. Still amazing, and it's pushed Two Face to number one on my Bat-Villains list (maybe even my all-villains list, comic book wise...yeah, I'm weird). That whole final scene with Two Face threatening to kill Gordon's son, all the way through to the end credits, I got chills, both times. What a phenomenal movie. I love it!

For those of you who have seen it in IMAX, which 4 scenes were the ones that were filmed with the IMAX camera? Which ones stood out the most?

i really want to go watch it again...something about it has been sticking with me. i cant shake the feeling heath knew he wasnt going to be around long after this movie. i dont even know how to explain what i mean, so after seeing it again i hope i can explain it better. So wait, after watching the film you got a feeling that Heath knew the end was near? I could kinda see how that would happen. He played The Joker as a person who was willing to embrace death at any moment. Like when he's in Harvey's hospital room. He gives Harvey the gun and points it right at his head. The guy didn't care if he lived or died. Also, if you watch it again, pay attention to Joker when he gets sent over the ledge by Batman near the end. He laughs all the way down, and when Batman stops him...the laughing dies down. Almost makes you think that Joker WANTED to die...to end the joke that has become his life.

Or maybe laughing because he "won" and made Batman a killer, then realized "Damn it, no I didn't."

I saw it last night and really liked it, though I felt like they could have made two different movies with what was contained. They really could have used Two-Face for the inevitable sequel if the movie would have ended about an hour earlier.

well, TDK surpassed my weekend box office expectations. I was thinking it would get somewhere around $60 million, but two days in, and its already over $75
