Me too!
It would have been too on the nose, but I would have loved to see Bats reaction if it was a story about how his parents were killed in a robbery and he got injured trying to defend them.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Re Frank's white font about Harvey Dent --
It's almost a shame that both Harvey and the Joker were in the same movie, because Aaron's performance was quite magnificent, too.

I know exactly what you mean. Harvey is pretty much the protagonist of the movie, and the change to Two-face seemed too hurried. Given the plot turn about preserving Harvey's good name for the sake of Gotham, I can see why they had to go the way they did.
I'm wondering if there are any insteresting deleted scenes out there, because I think that was the fastest 2 1/2 hour movie I've ever seen, and considering I was at a midnight show, I didn't once try to check the time or have any inclinations to hit the bathroom. The pace was relentless.

Franken,
I thought the original movie came in at over 3 hours. So I'm hoping for a director's cut...

The fact that they got away with the PG-13 on this...doesn't astonish me (I mean really, there's no way Warners was going to let it be an R), but I suspect this was a toned down version. So I wouldn't be surprised to see some stuff put back that was originally part of a first final cut. I'm definitely hoping, like you are, that there's also stuff that was cut for time that will go back in as well.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh good god no - I can think of at least 20 minutes of this movie that could have been cut out.

move out and draw fire
Is the Joker-in-the-coffin scene in?
And does anyone want to come babysit so I can go see TDK in a theater?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
6.5 hours til we get to see it.
I would be most appreciative if those who have already seen it would stop bragging discussing it so as to not drive me bugfuck with anxiousness spoil the movie.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Is the Joker-in-the-coffin scene in?
The rumor I heard was a body bag -- was it a coffin? That's even more over-the-top grotesque! (And by "grotesque," I don't mean "OMG bad!"; I mean it's utterly appropriate for the Joker.
