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.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
House Next Door didn't like TDK so much:
I understand the critiques, but I don't agree with them.
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.

TDK surpassed (by a lot) the one day record. It made $66 million on Friday (estimated).
Holy shit that's a lot of $$.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like the Batvoice, if only because what else would he do to disguise his voice? Go high and squeaky? The same-voice issue has always been one of my concerns with super heroes/secret identities, anyway -- even if you don't recognize that Superman is Clark Kent without his glasses, wouldn't you recognize his voice?
Also, like Steph (?), I assume that the boats had their own detonators on them.
Good times.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That never occurred to me, Jesse, because I figured the Joker would WANT the people to live with the knowledge that they'd killed an entire boatload of people to save themselves. That seems like more of a punishment than blowing themselves up. Of course, it would not have surprised me had he done that, given what he did with the switcheroo on Rachel's and Harvey's locations.

That's true -- it would fuck with people, but the people most affected would be dead! So maybe not. But as he said, he's not much of a planner. So maybe!

P-C did the Joker really say who was at what location? I seriously remember that he just gave two addresses that were too far apart for Batman (who had the speedier transport than the police) to get to more than one.
