The Dark Knight (SPOILERS)

[James of LinHood]

So......how about that Dark Knight?  Pretty great movie, right?

[GregMcduck]

I think we're pooped out with The Dark Knight.

[Chaos]

I think this thread may qualify for "most off-topic ever." I mean, EVEN for us, we went pretty far off topic, in several different directions.

[GregMcduck]

Anyone want to talk about salt water taffy?

[Chaos]

I like eggs.

Anyone want to talk about salt water taffy?

I don't like the blue ones.  You'd think the blue ones would have a solid fruit flavor...blueberry or raspberry, perhaps.  But no, it's more of a cotton candy flavor.  Ugh.  

[bettertomorrowamy]

I like eggs.

What do eggs have to do with saltwater taffy?

[Tripe]

I rather like the chocolate flavoured taffy you can get at Cedar Point (which is pretty much the only place I've eaten it).

[dignan]

Cedar Point is a fantastic place.  I haven't been in a few years, but the last time I went, Millennium Force was shut down!  I was dismayed.

[Tripe]

Yeah I still need to go this year. Thankfully my favorite rides, the wooden coasters, generally don't have long lines.

[Pak-Man]

Anyone want to talk about salt water taffy?

That depends. Is Salt Water Taffy on the top 50 candy list? :^)

[Tripe]

That might explain the lack of the line, he's probably one ride ahead of me each time

Robert Downey Jr starred in "Iron Man," the biggest surprise-hit of the year. But how does he feel about the other comic book movie that is currently aiming to become the second biggest earner of all time, "The Dark Knight." Moviehole got the chance to speak to Downey, who was not shy about expressing his feelings toward the new Batman film.

"My whole thing is that that I saw 'The Dark Knight'," said Downey. "I feel like I'm dumb because I feel like I don't get how many things that are so smart. It's like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I'm like, 'That's not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.' I loved 'The Prestige' but didn't understand 'The Dark Knight'. Didn't get it, still can't tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I'm like, 'I get it. This is so high brow and so f--king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.' You know what? F-ck DC comics. That's all I have to say and that's where I'm really coming from."

He added that if he never works with DC Comics, it will be fine with him. "You know, you're never too old to burn your bridges because I believe I have offended everyone," he said. "I think I've got a couple more. 'I'll burn that bridge when I come to it' is my favorite phrase I've ever coined."

[esoobaC .T bocaJ]

oh yeah, also,

Spoiler

While many people went to see "The Dark Knight," only a few know exactly what happened at the end of the movie. If you have not seen "Knight" yet, do not keep reading.

SPOILERS AHEAD:

At the end of the film, Harvey Dent/Two-Face apparently fell to his death during a standoff with Batman and Jim Gordon in a warehouse. Some have suggested that Dent is not dead due to rumors that he will appear in the third Batman movie and the fact that there was no blood. Also, no coffin was seen at the Dent memorial. So could Two-Face be locked away in a hospital or a mental institution?

"The Dark Knight" producer Emma Thomas touched on the topic when IGN brought it up. Unfortunately, her reply was not very helpful, stating that fans could interpret it either way they'd like.

But what were the filmmaker going for? In the movie novelization, author Dennis O'Neil wrote, "Dent was sprawled, neck twisted, the mutilated side of his face exposed, his left eye open and staring sightlessly. He was obviously dead."

And the script by Jonathan and Christopher Nolan -- included in "The Dark Knight: Featuring Production Art and Full Shooting Script" -- states, "Dent lies at the bottom of the hole, his neck broken. DEAD."

So there is your answer. Two-Face will not be returning for part 3.

[Doctor Who?]

So Downey Jr thinks all movies should be dumb popcorn flicks like Iron Man and Tropic Thunder?!

to each his own i guess but i don't see either of those movies ruling the boxoffice four weeks in a row.

Good thing most of America is smarter then him.

Then again maybe he was just doped up when he saw it.

Wouldn't it be great if The Dark Knight beat Tropic Thunder this weekend?

I know nobody think it is going to happen but nobody thought The Dark knight was going to win last weekend either or make $300 million in 10 days.

I just think that would be sweet.

Nothing turns me off a movies star more then them badmouthing someone else's work.

I mean what makes the movies he has made so much better?

Or is he bragging about how dumb his movies are?

What is the point of this?

I was planing on seeing Tropic thunder but I wouldn't be doing that now.

Good job Robby!
