So two days after seeing it in 70mm IMAX I'm seeing all three Nolan Batmans in a row, starting from midnight.

In 70mm IMAX.

Wait, you've already seen it?

Official synopsis released:

"It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.

But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane."

Man, I can't wait until this film comes out.

Thinking of seeing it in an IMAX cinema; apparently Christopher Nolan did film about 40 minutes of the film which was shot with an IMAX camera.

I've come to the conclusion that I will be seeing this early the following Sunday. That way, hopefully, less people will be there and I will have a better experience. I've been waiting too long for this, and I'm not going to have it ruined by some annoying prebuscent teenagers.

Same, hardly ever go to a theatre on an opening night. Too many kids, I mean I'm a kid. But there's nothing more annoying than kids gabbing on in the theatre, throwing popcorn and kicking my f*cking seat.

Seat kickers are the worst. F*ck those c*nts.

Going to be watching BB and TDK on blu-ray with my friend before seeing it at IMAX.

I didn't see this posted, I would've thought you guys would have it posted as soon as it went up on the 1st haha. The footage that showed at the MTV Movie Awards that was being pulled left right and centre has been officially released online. When I first heard Hathaway was cast as Catwoman I was a bit apprehensive because, in my mind, she's too "nice" and clean cut in most of her stuff, but everything I've seen of her in the role has made me more excited for it.

Also, a bit of a tangent. Going with the whole "class warfare" subtext in the trilogy that I was banging on about a few pages ago, someone pointed out to me that in TDK the Joker and Batman's choice of weapons is particularly important. Obviously, Batman's tools are products of hyper-wealth (the tumbler, the cell phone hacks, the armour/gadgets, the Lamborghini) but something I didn't pick up on was how the Joker uses a hell of a lot of things from public welfare: the hospital, the schoolbus in the robbery, the burning firetruck to shepherd the police and the public ferries. Just something interesting I had pointed out to me recently.

E: Oh, there's also this. Apparently these are the actual production notes for TDKR, I haven't read them myself yet (49 pages, woah) so I can't vouch for the level of spoileryness so read at your own risk I guess.

Poor phrasing on my part. I'm seeing it July 31st then starting from midnight at the beginning of the 2nd I'm seeing all three in a row.

I couldn't possibly see it in IMAX only once. Have to make the most of those 55 minutes shot on 70mm. Naturally I must condemn widespread, subpar digital Liemax (or tinymax) which, sadly, is what hundreds of thousands will see the film in, thinking they are witnessing actual IMAX screen size, sound depth, and picture resolution, but in reality having payed IMAX prices for a regular cinema experience with IMAX stamped on the ticket.

This really ticks me off.

Can anyone tell me what exactly IMAX is about? I know it's a gigantic screen, and 3D. But, what's it like?

[Sup3rman]

It's not 3D, it's very high resolution images projected to a big screen. The Colors and everything are a lot better then normal films shown in cinema. There is IMAX 3D but TDKR is not in 3D.

Oh nice. Yeah, I heard about Christopher Nolan not liking 3D, he says the technology is not advanced enough yet to blow people's minds (not his exact words, but same context).

Then I don't think he's quite right because both Avatar and Transformers: DOTM had incredibly mind blowing 3D sequences.

I don't think it would lend itself to this series though. some of the sh*t in inception would have been incredible, though, were it shot in 3D.


...not that I'm a major proponent of the gimmick. I just think it can be, and has been, done well.

I think the only ones that have done 3D extremely well are the resort parks like Disneyworld and Universal Studios. I went to see "Honey I Shrunk the Audience..." there and it was extremely awesome. The effects came up to my eyes and I did a reflex attack and felt like suckerpunching one of the things out.

Been reading through these production notes a bit at a time, and something struck me as quite familiar:

QUOTE

Bane does not wear a mask to conceal his identity, but to anesthetize himself against excruciating pain, resulting from injuries he suffered long ago. Countering Nolan’s concerns, Hardy says, “I didn’t feel limited by the mask. What’s cool about it is, as soon as you put it on you become the character.”

Sounds an awful lot like a certain lead character who threw on a mask to deal with the pain of loss from a long time ago.

So the Dark Knight Rises had an advanced screening yesterday for critics and a selection of fans. The reception has been incredibly positive. It reportedly received a standing ovation, with some claiming that its better than the Dark Knight.
