The Dark Knight (SPOILERS)

[GLaDOS]

What?? Are you sure we're talking about the same Batman?

I'm just trying my best to be diplomatic, even if it is complete bs.

[J-Proof]

Unfortunately looking forward to more than one movie usually means I'll be disappointed by all but one of them....

[esoobaC .T bocaJ]

one more

...

That poster totally reminds me of the end of Fight Club.

If watching a blurry bootleg version of the full trailer online is your kinda' thing... better go watch it while you can: here.

Now I have to see this movie just to find out why people hate that one building so much! (Please say it's a Transformer, please say it's a transformer!)

[Variety of Cells]

That one's actually cool.  Is that a bus poster? What's with the weird aspect ratio?

You didn't hear?  A few important scenes in the new batman were shot on 70mm and in triptych.  The optimal viewing environment will be a football stadium. 

[BathTub]

Actually iirc didn't they actually shoot some scenes in imax?

[Variety of Cells]

Yeup.  That's what I was playing off of.  So if you see it, see it at an Imax because those scenes will look amazing (well i'm hoping they will anyway.) 

[bratpop]

Isn't IMAX taller than regular footage? Maybe that's why this building is in all the marketing. Maybe they show off all the floors in IMAX. Yeah, show me that fifth floor, you sexy building you!

[RoninFox]

Actually yeah it is.  Most movies today have a 1.85:1 ratio, IMAX has a 1.43:1.  Even if the screens were the same width the IMAX image would be significantly taller.

I'm a geek.

[bratpop]

So it's like TV... only bigger.

[RoninFox]

A standard tv has approximately a 1.3:1 ratio, so closer, but not quite.

[bratpop]

I know, it's close. It's not like you could tell if you sat that close to your TV.

[RoninFox]

True, though if a movie switched from a TV shaped image to an IMAX image actually on an IMAX screen it'd be easy to see that difference.
