I LOVE Long movies, with so many characters, so it needs character/story development plus ALL the Action. And that takes time.

For People who hate long movies, I wonder they actual movie fans?

It seem like movie is not that big of deal to them, they RATHER do something else rather than watch a movie... you know?

Some movies are too long because everything like Acting, plot, action are so hard/bad to watch, but NOT this movie!

Anybody who rate this movie Negative simply because it's long, NEED to be shot, or NOT call themselves a movie fan cuz they rather do other things looks like than watch a great movie.

Anyway...

OMG Almost time for Batman!!!

I probably won't see you for another 12+ hours, 20 minutes from now!

By then, I already should have seen the movie!

I CAN'T WAIT!!! :woot: :woot: :jump:

Ahh damn. I can't believe I'll be waiting until Sunday to see this (my bro didn't get online to buy tickets in time for tomorrow before they sold out for the only showing we could get to). Aaron Eckhart is on Conan right now and it's tough knowing I'll not be seeing this tomorrow :(

I saw the 1AM showing here in Hong Kong, extremely enthusiastic about the Hong Kong scene as with everyone else in the theater. Well I gota say, one of if not the best super hero movies that are out there, I loved it. Props of Heath, he's insane.

:o

That is awesome. It is crystal clear whomever was in charge of putting this trailer together for the new movie was paying homage to the old trailer.

I mean seriously, throughout the entire thing! it is literally a scene for scene match up.

Going tonight @ 8:30, still got about 11 hours or so to go.

I SAW The Dark Knight...

OMG THIS MOVIE IS PERFECT/FLAWLESS... BEST Movie in a LONG time!!! only words to describe this movie!!! :D :woot:

YOU MUST SEE IT NOW!!!

Heath Ledger MUST earn an Oscar for his role as the Joker, it's WAY BETTER than I thought it was.

You ain't see nothing yet, of his Oscar-Winning performances, just from the trailer.

He is The PERFECT JOKER!!! And, Christian Bale is the PERFECT BATMAN TOO!!!

It is not just the BEST Batman movie EVER, but BEST Comic Book movie EVER, period.

Regarding if Ledger will win an Oscar.

Oscar watchers dampen award hype for Ledger's Joker.

When the new Batman movie "The Dark Night" began screenings last month before its U.S. debut on Friday, some moviegoers saw Heath Ledger as an instant Oscar candidate as the deranged villain, The Joker.

But Oscar watchers and veteran critics say the joke may be on fans creating mostly Internet-based buzz because an Academy Award for the Australian actor, who died of an accidental drug overdose in January, would be a rare event.

Only one actor has won an Oscar after death, Peter Finch for 1976's "Network."

"Dark Knight" is the type of comic book, action adventure that Oscar voters generally do not favor and there are many movies to see later this year, the experts said.

Still, Ledger's critically hailed performance may bring a nomination for the U.S. film industry's top award, to be presented next on February 22, 2009.

"All this Oscar talk is a phenomenon of the Internet age that I like to call 'a wish-fulfillment rumor.' If people say it often enough, they think it will happen," said Leonard Maltin, film critic for TV program "Entertainment Tonight."

"That's not to say it might not happen," he said, citing a "great performance" by Ledger. "But I assure you that the people who are spreading all this are neither Oscar voters nor (Hollywood) movers and shakers."

Tom O'Neil, a columnist for award-watching Web site The Envelope.com, said "it really looks good" for a nomination but was "a long shot" to win.

Hollywood has a long history of seeing big stars -- James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and Bruce Lee among them -- appearing in high-profile films released after their untimely deaths.

O'Neil said that when Finch died, Hollywood was in the middle of Oscar season and also in shock. Prior to that, Robert De Niro was sweeping the critics' awards for "Taxi Driver."

Veteran Oscar watcher O'Neil also sees parallels between the truncated careers of Ledger and James Dean.

"Like Heath, James Dean was a heartthrob star who was considered a serious actor, who died tragically young," O'Neil said. "He was nominated twice posthumously, for "East of Eden" and "Giant," and he lost both times."

Even the legendary Spencer Tracy was ignored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which gives out the Oscars, after he died in 1967 just as "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?" was coming. And he was the front-runner, O'Neil said.

Tracy's co-star Katharine Hepburn did win best actress for "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?"

"That's how reluctant Oscar voters are to hug the dead," O'Neil said. "These awards are all about hugs and there's something creepy about embracing the dead."
