Opening Dark Knight Scene
Dec. 6th, 2007 09:31 pmI am irrationally excited about the opening scenes of the Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight (I cannot type today, btw. I just typed Teh Drak Knight about three times before I got it right). I mean, it's not totally irrational, because I love 'Batman Begins' to pieces and am totally excited about the sequel, which I think will be even awesomer. But it's this one-scene bit with William Fichtner that I'm jonesing to see. Like, his character doesn't even have a NAME -- he's a bank manager at a bank for the Gotham mob-type people -- yet I'm way more excited about it than 'The Amateurs' or 'First Snow' or whatever.
A blurb from MTV, describing the first 10 minutes, which is supposed to be shown in front of IMAX showings of 'I Am Legend' soon:
( Spoilers for 'The Dark Knight'... )
I haven't even seen the bit and I'm already started that whole anxiety thing, like I get for Mahone, about whether he dies or not. Also, yay for shouty Fichtner. This movie is going to be awesome; I've heard Cillian Murphy is returning for his Scarecrow role, which got me hooked on him when I saw 'Batman Begins', and although I'm no longer big on Cillian Murphy, he's still really cool and an awesome actor. Plus Christian Bale and Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman and Maggie Gyllenhaal and holy crap this movie is just made for me.
Sad thing: people are saying that the Golden Compass wasn't that good. This makes me sad. GC is still one of my all-time favourite books. It's just because it's been watered down so much to please the masses that it's lost the meaning behind it. The hardcore Christians just need to fuck off and not watch/read it if it pisses them off so much. What if hardcore atheists started petitioning to get all religious movies banned? I mean, they say His Dark Materials attacks Christianity by promoting atheism, but even if it did promote atheism -- which it doesn't, it just criticizes organized religion -- Christianity is a hell of a lot worse when it comes to atheists, if you'll pardon the pun. Christianity says that atheists are going to suffer unimaginable mental and physical torture for all eternity. Yeah. Worse, I'm thinking.
I intend to write an entry exclusively about why WF/Mahone is so damn awesome (yeah, I know, it'll be fun) but not right now because it's late. Maybe after I finish this damn English essay that's due Monday.
