Strega, I agree on the sonar fight. That was the first time during the movie I actually thought to myself, "Well, this has gone on a bit too long."
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

About Harvey: Joe, you said that Aims said that we don't know he's dead -- that was my FIRST comment after the movie. I asked The Boy, "Are we meant to assume Dent is dead? No one SAID he was." I think they left it that way on purpose. And I think, therefore, that he'll be back.
Incidentally, I also dislike Bale's growly Batman voice.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
House Next Door didn't like TDK so much:
I understand the critiques, but I don't agree with them.

P-C, on one of your questions, I thought the Joker didn't say who was at which address, but it was going on 2 in the morning at that point, so I might have missed it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm with Franken. Further
The issue was that Batman had to choose which one to save. That's why he sent Gordon one way and he went the other.

I don't agree with them, either, except for this one:
Morgan Freeman (as Wayne Enterprises liaison Lucius Fox) and Michael Caine (as stalwart manservant Alfred) spouting gloomy old man platitudes about the culture of surveillance, and everyone else monologuing ad nauseum about various and sundry long, dark teatimes of the soul.
Too. Much. Speechifying.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
TDK surpassed (by a lot) the one day record. It made $66 million on Friday (estimated).
Holy shit that's a lot of $$.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'm betting despite the running time it breaks the all-time opening weekend record. I'm also real curious how much in the way of legs it has - I suspect a lot.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Just watched the trailer for the "re-imagining" of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Keanu makes a good Klaatu...since this Klaatu has no resemblance to Michael Rennie's Klaatu, and this film has no resemblance to Robert Wise's TDTESS. Looks good though.

Art Crawl!!!
That HpHBP teaser was really nothing. Much like the first stills they released for the film.
