Movie: The Dark Knight

Good evening peeps, on a few of my other forums I know I like to sit and talk abut the movies that come out, typically because friends and myself alwatys goto midnight showings because, well, it's way more fun and i'd like to start it here with what was the BEST movie of the summer, year, or decade for all i care lol.
The Dark Knight, the new batman movie, was amazing IMO....best movie i've seen in SO long. it was really long whicih only helped the situation, finally a movie that can have everything take place without skipping around to speedin things up. it was in my opinion by far a great movie and definitely a 10/10 + everyone should see it. christian bale was great, and heath ledger played the joker flawlessly IMHO.
We went to the midnight showing at Emagine Theatre in Novi, Michigan and they sold out 9 theatres for midnight showing..
just amazing...what do u guys think? can't wait for the next....the penguin? or mr. freeze w/ Arnold lol ;-)

You are absolutely off-topic my friend....
Anyway you are double posting here:

errrrr...Why So Serious?

I saw it opening night. It is one of, if not the most, amazing movies I have ever seen. It's has action, comedy, whit (and a lot of it, a lot of people probably won't understand much of the meaning), and it's also a bit dark, which made this movie really good. Go see it!!!

Im in Italy, still DarkNight not in theatres
... but i think i will NOT go to first plays: too much crowd. Maybe i'll wait 1-2 week, then go with dochinka maya

Good movie...was it the best action movie ever? No. It was too long in my opinon but Heath Ledger did the Joker justice and made old Jack's take just laughable. All I kept thinking while watching it was, "when is Joker going to show up again?".

Yeah, the Joker was nice and creepy. Only thing i couldn't get was batmans scream/speaking. it always threw me off. 9/10...

ace film joker didnt bother me at all!!!! good old jack was better i feel. but harvey two face totaly stole the show for me!!!! was such a good film after gettting 13 forgian language students kicked out for talking and playing with phones still the best film since last bond.

Jack's role in Batman w/ Keaton was good
But you have to understand that "The Dark Knight" is based entirelt off the DC comics. The original Batman Movies, while taking elements of the DC comics, still were in a League of there own. You can see the differences in the Characters as well as the story line. 2-Face in the origianal Batman story was burned by Sulfyric Acid during a trial, as in the new one it was a gas burn after the explosion
Heath's role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight" is based off the comic " The Killing Joke". If you read the comic you will see that Heath nailed the role 10/10 and thats why its a shame he died because he deserve all the credit for playing such an amazing role. You can see that he plays the role from this comic because of "wanna know how I got these scars?" In the comic, everytime he said that he had a different story each time.
Jack's role as Joker in The first Batman movie w/ Keaton was also perfect if you compare the character to the conventional Joker.
I think both Jokers were played perfectly but they're hard to compare because they're based off of different Jokers.
All in all the movie was great, except for when Christian Bale talked as Batman, talk about annoying. Nobody did it better then Michael Keaton, but nobody has done it worse the George Clooney LOL

in the terms of l33t american teenagers
the movie was "the -

felt
Heath carried the movie alot for me
and not just because he died
because he was less silly then the old series or the old movie
more dark like the new movies
and i only felt i could recognize him in few shots in the movie
and thats a point for acting i guess

i know it has been based on that but i felt it wasnt right for me. plus i felt being a 12 a in the uk was stupid children for any age under 18 maybe get away with a 15 should not be seeing people make pencils vanish using some ones face.
dont get me wrong i loved the film will be going to see it again but i prefure my nutters to almost be normal and have a sens of humility in them so when they do the really nasty stuff its alot more shocking. for instance it would be alot more of a shock if say g w bush let lose on a crowd with an uzi than some nut job (oh w8 g w bush is a nutter ok say brad pitt)

I see what you did there. On topic, i don't have enough time to write down a list, because there are so many.
Buy my Top 6 would be:
1 Toaru Kagaku no Railgun & Railgun S
2 Toaru Majutsu no Index & Index II
3 Steins;Gate
4 Toradora
5 Higashi no Eden
6 Saki

Been into anime for the last 15 years and seen countless series come and go, some are still going strong. Do not consider myself an otaku, though. I don't spend money on it.
I don't have a list of favorites. That would be silly. Anime is a "use then discard" type of product for me, like movies and live action series. One thing though, One Piece IS FOREVER!!!1 As a perfectly healthy individual in his prime years, I hope I get to live long enough to see the ending.

my neighbor Totoro is the best and BYOSOKU 5 SENCHIMETORU

1. Galaxy 999
2. Star Blazers
3. Ranma 1/2
4. Elfin Leid
5. Trigun
6. Space Pirate: Captain Harlock
7. Bleach
8. Ghost in the Shell
9. Princess Mononoke
10. Attack on titans

Naroto, One-piece, Bleach. Game Over

I'm definitely not an otaku, just watches some anime, not much. Here are my favs:
1. Fullmetal Alchemist
2. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
3. [A bit... No a LOT of flamebait here] either Code Geass or Guilty Crown xD I like both
4. One Piece (the manga though... The anime is meh)
5. Nisekoi
6. El Psy Congroo

Film List
Here's the list of the HD movies i have. 1080 & 720. you can use this as start.
Haven't made a list yet for my stdd dvdrips, documentaries, cartoons, animations, tv series, standup comedies, kids stuff. if you want i can do a simple cmd prompt dir list. pm me if interested.
For the ultimate movie db, youre gonna need much more than 2TB. and you will probably need some RAID mode because losing your main drive will drive you nuts.
I have a 8TB NAS on Raid 5 (6.5TB usable) and it's 70% full already.
If you have the WD TV Live, you can access your media via LAN instead of local USB, it's much more flexible and you wont need to invest in media centre.
