I should’ve posted something earlier, but yes, that’s right: the banner at the top of this site is no longer true. I did manage — like seemingly 92-95% of the entire country — to see The Dark Knight.
This film has some real problems, so I don’t necessarily see where the Best Movie Of All Time Ever love is coming from if you’re older than, say, 18. But I do concur that the film is something that’s sadly a very rare thing these days: a big, interesting, smart Hollywood entertainment that is worth going to see. But then again so was Tropic Thunder. So…
Anyway, I think at the very least we should thank the maker or whomever that it wasn’t this redux:
Spread the word!
Look at it this way: without the colossal failure of the neon, nipples, and camp of Batman & Robin, we probably wouldn’t even have Batman Begins or The Dark Knight. So in that sense, we should be thankful for that POS.

Out of curiosity, Steve, what were your problems with it?
Dunno that I have any, aside from the horrible looking commercials that camped up Ledger’s Joker and the terrible billboards with the Bat-Pod on them. Haven’t seen the movie yet.
Oops, meant Andrew.
Steve, you should see it.
