We watched the Burn Notice with Lucy Lawless tonight. It was a repeat, but we'd missed it the first time. Hee, D'Anna really has corrupted me - I enjoy her being bad so much. It was kind of sad that she didn't share any scenes with Bruce Campbell though, just for old times' sake.
Before that, we went to see Dark Knight in IMAX!
Finally! Yay! And we had perfect seats.
Movies should ALWAYS be made in IMAX. Stunning. Especially stunning when you already know the story and can just fall into the visual. That first opening shot of Chicago/Gotham? Is GORGEOUS. And the night-time in Hong Kong sequence? Damn, you can count the freaking windows. And Nolan doesn't do any super closeups in the format which helps too (cuz, I think Christian Bale's hot, but looking up his ten-foot high nose would not be my idea of a great view). unlike Attack of the Clones which we also saw in IMAX, they don't have to pan-and-scan the rest of the film anymore, but just transition between the IMAX format (which is nearer a square) and widescreen. It didn't bother me as much as I thought they might, since the screen was already so large. But still, I hope the next one is ALL in IMAX, because that would be awesome.
Anyway, it's totally worth it if you like the movie and you have this version playing near you.
Trivia I saw on IMDB: apparently someone tallied 36 deaths in the film. I'm not sure how that's counted, but... yeah. Just a few! If it's true the Riddler's coming next, I can't imagine the Riddler being a threat like that (I also hope the Johnny Depp rumor isn't true but it makes a lot of sense). I hope the secondary 'villain' is either Catwoman or Talia. Personally I'd love Talia more since I think she fits the mythos better, but it'll probably be Catwoman.
How sad is it that I'm already planning to offer DK for Yuletide? *sigh*
Next thing you know I'll be writing Talia myself in the Nolan-verse... because how cool would that be?
