Batman doesn't have time to show emotion, much less surprise or confusion. He's too busy kicking ass.

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.

Strega, I know. Which is why the whole thing had me confused as to the Joker's intentions. When Bats ended up at Harvey and didn't express any surprise about this fact, I thought he'd changed his mind without telling us.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
wah! I want to read TDK spoilerfont! Must. Resist.
Instead I've been on a John Simm bender, rewatching some of his TV series and rented a couple of movies.
Miranda was so much better than I'd been led to believe. No, not a thriller by any means, and not even a dark comedy. More like cheesy, tongue-in-cheek romance. Kyle MacLachlan making the miniature people have sex was a bit much.
On the other hand, Forgive and Forget started out and was vaguely intriguing to see how these three people worked out their dynamics, only to end with an almighty case of WTF as the story ends in what was basically a hate crime, and the dysfunctional (yet straight) couple leaving the newly-outed David broken and battered on the floor.
The second strangest thing was trying to figure out why these two people were so obsessed over Theo. I mean, as much as I love John Simm, I couldn't see the why of it. And then to have this rather bland, victimized character end up in a murderous rage... now I just have a bad taste in my mouth.

Oh, also -- I've been seeing Joker-esque icons around Live Journal (icons graffitied over with "why so serious" etc.) and until I saw the movie, I thought they were kind of cool and fun. Yeah, NSM now.

Art Crawl!!!
Read this over at Comics Continuum:
Domino's Pizza has begun its promotion for the film. Through July 27, customers can order Domino's new Gotham City Pizza -- a large, hand-tossed pizza, cloaked with 50 percent more pepperoni than a standard portion, for $9.99 and delivered in a specially-designed Gotham City Pizza Box.
Each of the four versions of the box highlights a different element of the Batman costume, including the mask, arm gauntlets, utility belt and chest emblem.

Hm, somebody on LJ posited (regarding the scene I was confused about) that Batman knew the Joker would switch the addresses, which is why he said he would go after Rachel, knowing he would be saving Harvey, because that would leave the cops to go after Dent and save Rachel. That is, he knew the cops would be more likely to give it their all to save Dent than save Rachel, so he trusted them to save her.

I hope Bale got a percentage of the gross as part of his contract for this one. Or, possibly, a small tropical nation.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Batman beat the weekend record.
an increase in average ticket prices helped it squeak by Spider-Man 3 but if we're adjusting for inflation Gone With the Wind is still on top.

Doesn't it win out over Titanic in adjusted overall gross as well? I love the mental image of Vivian Leigh in hoop skirt and curls stepping on Leonardo DiCaprio's fingers until he sinks under the waves.
