But when you've been able to go to something like the Cine Capri and digital, its not that great.

There's a difference in seeing a movie in imax and seeing a movie filmed for imax.

Its like saying you watch DVDs on an HDTV so you don't need Bluray.

Even though it is a few shots you can TELL the difference. Trust me.
And here is a more visual comparison.

So its just....taller.... Maybe if I have the opportunity I'll check out TDK in IMAX (any excuse to see it again!). But it seems to me like a) its a load of nothing and b) the only something is just to reverse the industry standard and call it better (taller rather than wider).

Oh, and The Dark Knight is flippin' sweet.

My mind has indeed been blown. :)

The experience was very surreal. It was like I wasn't even there for the 2.5 hours it ran, instead I was somewhere in Gotham.

Any ideas for who will be the villain in the next movie? The Joker isn't dead, but I doubt they will have someone else reprise the role. Two-Face is seemingly dead, I'm not sure how he could not be, with his body there and all. But then again everyone thought Gordon was dead.

The movie is even better the second time around (just because I saw for free doesn't mean not gonna use ticket paid for)

And I don't know, it feels like more than just another comic book movie. It is so solid.

I just remembered a part that sent a chill down my spine.


LOOK AT ME!

O man that part was...

Actually most of his parts were creepy in a weird way.

The part where Batman drops Sal also makes me cringe

I actually think I'll enjoy it more the second time around as well. Not that I didn't love it the first time, but it's greatness hasn't fully sank in yet.

What is the "Look at Me" part you're talking about? I can't remember off hand the scene you're referring to.

During the video that the Joker was filming, the one that appeared on the TV news, he was all normal Joker voice taking to that Batman copy cat, until the guy wouldn't look into the camera. Out of frustation Joker says "Look at me....LOOK AT ME" in a terribly dark voice. After that scene I was waiting for him to talk like that again later in the film, and he got close to it a few times but never quite as frightening.

Maybe we should start up a spoiler thread or something?

Holy. Fuck.
