 No Analytical Critique Here, Just Some Words November 21, 2008
It's November 20th. Why is it only November 20th?
The Dark Knight drops in a few weeks, but it's so far away. I would very much like to see this film for the third time in my own living space already.
Holy Gadzooks, this movie is awesome. I really am looking forward to seeing Heath Ledger's Joker again in all its disturbed maniacal glory.
Now, it only makes sense that I should watch my copy of Batman Begins again to tide me over until December 9th, but that's not going to do it.
Of course, that is a possibility I may just entertain considering I did that a few times before The Dark Knight's theatrical release.
What I really liked about The Dark Knight besides Ledger's Joker is how the movie went in several different directions all the while remaining to the main plot theme and its central focus.
We saw the development of Two-Face and the conflicts created from a domino effect that occurred through Batman, Alfred and Lucius Fox.
But I'm not here to analyze this fantastic movie, I just want to use this medium as a means to deal with the time between now and then.
You know - the certain satisfaction of having that movie in your hands at the store the day it's released. That one movie that augments your personal library in a way that makes it almost seem complete. I'm not talking to the people who arbitrarily purchase films and such, this is for the folks who only collect those films with high replay value. Films that you watch repeatedly just to catch subtle things you might have missed once before. The films that you take great pleasure in introducing to your friends and family. The films that create a world for you to explore and appreciate, a perfect escape from your reality for a couple of hours.
Damn, I wish it wasn't only November 20th.

Please, people, can we refrain from the mind-numbing synopsis/personal reviews of these titles? The movie was OK (if overlong), but nobody out there is holding off buying this blu-ray (or the regular version, for that matter) until Joe Blow chimes in and tells them why he thinks its worth "5-stars." Amazon - please get your act together and differentiate between the 1080p and 'standard' DVD versions and stop lumping these "reviews" together. The only question is: "How good (or bad) is the transfer?"
Brain Dead Listings November 20, 2008
Why is it that Amazon overseas buyers are kept in the dark, like Batman, about the region codes on Blu ray DVDs advertised on the various Amazon sites? It would be such a simple matter to put a region code in the list of features of these movies. It need only be something like R 1 R2 or R A etc and that would make life easier for us out of towners to recognise and buy without being a pain in the neck asking questions about compatibility. Just a thought on something that irritates me! And BTW, the latest Batman movie is 100% cinematic magic - well done.
Best Batman film to date! November 20, 2008
Simply put, this movie blows all other batman films away! Jack Nicholson is still a cool joker, and Tim Burton is still one of the greatest directors in Hollywood...but Christopher Nolan's directorial interpretation of Batman is much, much, darker, and Heath Ledger's joker is far more clever and devious in a tragic way that is almost bizaar considering that the actor's death shortly followed the making of this film. This version of Batman nearly embraced an R-rating, wich I would think would have made it the greatest movie ever made in the history of history. As it stands now...9.5 on the rictor scale. Definitly a five star amazon rating to say the least.
But, will it work in my blu-ray player? November 20, 2008

My only question is, will the BluRay disk work on existing players? The studios have a history of releasing disks with features they either forgot to tell the player manufacturers about, or the player manufacturers ignored. I have purchased BluRay disks and had to wait three months for an update from the player manufacturer in order for my player to play the disk. This is very frustrating, so much so I quit buying blu-ray disks until 3-6 months after their release so I would know the player will actually play the disk. The recent Bond disks are but one example of many.
My suggestion is to wait a few weeks after this is released before buying it, and read the reviews here or on one of the AV websites, just to be sure it will work on your player. Otherwise, you could be disappointed at Christmas by not being able to watch the movie.
