^Oh, I know. It's beyond my understanding as to why I don't have a copy of it now. heh..



I was looking around some movie database sites recently and found this gem of writing from the movie. Joker had many brilliant lines, but I was especially floored by this one. Makes a person think. Much.

Not entirely sure if this is perfectly accurate. But it sounds correct from what I remember.

Joker to Batman

“Don’t talk like one of them, you’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak - like me. They need you right now. When they don’t… they’ll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their code: it’s a bad joke. They’re dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. You’ll see, when the chips are down these "civilized" people will eat each other. See, I'm not a monster... I'm just ahead of the curve.”


Not every piece of writing was good in The Dark Knight, but damn, there were some memorable moments like that one.

They did seem to spread the cheese on Batman more, and give the Joker the real meaty lines.  I didn't like this movie because of Batman, which is sad; I liked it because of the Joker.  They need to really work on the next one, and allow me to put this as bluntly as possible...

STOP MAKING BATMAN SOUND LIKE DIRTY HARRY, WITH WORSE DIALOG!

I think that would solve a lot of the problems right there.  Oh, and stick to one villain and develop them, don't take a well known villain, half ass them, and then dispose of them.  That also pisses me off.  But not as much as the above.

Was that you disguising your voice? Sounds somewhat similar to what Christian Bale did. :il_hahaha:




What's interesting about the Dirty Harry reference is I've heard Clint Eastwood was approached to do a role in a third movie.

Durrrr durrrr, there are better ways to mask your voice than pitching it low and growly.  Hard to take him seriously, get a voice modulator along with all that other tech he has.  It sounds stupid, simply put.

Still didn't get a chance to buy my copy yet. But yeah, it'll probably be the first Blu-ray movie I'll buy. Just because. :lordilsmile:


Off topic but the second Blu-ray movie I'll probably get is Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan whenever it gets released in High-def glory. I bet it'll be out around when the newest Trek movie hits theaters...

^ Just looked on the hmv website and the blu-ray release of the first few star trek films looks set for the end of may, I am a little annoyed that paramount have only release friday the 13th part 2 and 3 on blu-ray, number 3 is not bad but you do see the faults with camera in hi def

This is really old now, but just in case nobody's seen it:

Interrogation spoof

I was kinda surprised at first when some people didn't like the voice. Then I remembered not everybody listens to death metal. So for me the voice was both enjoyable, and very easily understood. Enjoy the vid.
