I'm not sure that's in the actual movie.

Actually, if you watched the Joker after he jumps in the bus as many times as I have, I think that is inside the bus footage from the part where the hospital blows up and the bus drives away. I watched the Joker after he jumps in there, and it looks exactly like the movements that he makes in that little gif there. The whole straightening his hair thing.

So it's not actually shown like that in the movie, but it looks to be just a different angle on the same shot that is in the movie.

Yea, it was all done in one take, given how the scene played out.:lol
 
Nolan: Great cut, guys! Really fantastic stuff!

Cameraman: Uh....Mr. Nolan

Nolan: Yes?

Cameraman: There's no film in the camera.

Nolan:...




Oh god fucking damnit.

even if the movie has no business being nominated for anything.

I agree it shouldn't win, but it's a fantastic film and it sure as hell deserves a nomination more than piece of shit movies like Juno and Michael Clayton.

Really? Not even Heath? Even if you don't think the movie was good enough for a Best Picture Oscar (I do, personally; it's my favorite movie so far this year, with only Benjamin Button really in contention to beat it out), I feel like it's almost impossible not to recognize that Heath gave one hell off a performance.
 
I think the fact that a lot of camps think TDK is a legitimate contender really goes to show more than anything how bad 2008 has been for film overall. 2007 (and 2006 even moreso, which is probably my favorite year in film of the decade) crapped all over 2008.
 
Well I can't speak for anybody else, but even in a good year for film, I, personally, would at least WANT The Dark Knight to be a contender, even if it would not have been viable in other years. I mean, I think it was a better film than Juno, at the very least (which I liked, but come on).

Thanks for letting us know, once again, how you didn't like TDK all that much.

Now STFU already.

Thanks once again for making shit up. Check my history in this very thread, and youll see that I loved the movie. Its flaws just stick out a bit more now that we've had 6 months to process it.

Anyways, all Im saying is does anyone honestly believe it would be getting this kind of buzz against TWBB and NCFOM last year? Not a chance.

Yeah, it probably would. It has a better chance of winning this year than last, but I'd say in either year, TDK is a likely Best Picture candidate.

Here's the attitude I get from you in this thread:

"I like the movie, but I wish I didn't!"

What would it have knocked out? Michael Clayton, maybe.

Do I really have to dig up my own posts praising the movie? Why wouldnt I want to like the movie? Let me guess - BECAUSE ITS BETTER THAN BOND AMIRITE?
 
Oh jett fuck you. Solo is probably one of the few here at GAF who's movie opinions I actually trust. He's completely entitled to say what he thinks. This place is sort of disgusting when all it is is a fapfest to the movie.
 
Solo said:

Well this is just my own opinion, but I thought Juno and Michael Clayton were terrible, so either one of them could (and imo, should) be knocked out by TDK had the movie been released last year.

Wait, you still haven't seen the movie? Why would you need to trust someone else's opinion. :lol

Yes. What do those two movies do that TDK doesn't?

Juno was the trendy little indie last year though, so no way thats getting the boot. Michael Clayton was filled with people the Academy seems to love.
 
Jett, chill out.


People don't think TDK should get a nom or an award, that's cool by me. I can argue for the movie all day if someone wanted to, but people got their opinions and they're not flaunting them like they're the definitive shit, so I won't try to do that with mine.


That said, even if I didn't like The Dark Knight, wouldn't it be a little smart for the academy to throw it up there? I personally don't see how atleast one major nod is out of the question. The academy status/ratings have been dipping low the past few years iirc. This is probably going to be the biggest movie of the decade (Avatar potentially excluded, Scullibundo!), a Titanic hit. It's not like it's transformers, it's a critically well received film. I just don't really see how it doesn't get nominated, unless the Academy is more interested in a slow suicide.

The Academy is still so stuffy though. Im still shocked that they "let" ROTK win Best Picture at the 2004 show.

Gotcha. For the record, I think its a horrible idea for people to blindly take any word I say, as flattering/ego-boosting as that is for me :lol See the movie in question, form your own opinions.

TBH, a lot of us (including myself) seem to do it just because it's funny. There are times when the line is overstepped though...

Third -- and inferior -- movie in the Nolan Batman trilogy to win Best Picture, confirmed?

Yeah, me too. But even though I love Batman Begins and also The Dark Knight....

The Batman movies aren't even half the overall quality and complexity as that of the Lord of the Rings films. From top to bottom those movies were impeccable. While I commend TDK for it's achievements and Ledger is nothing short of one of the best villains ever, LOTR was not just a great adaptation and storytelling but an amazing achievement for film.

I mean you can't really compare them in many ways. One's a (fabulous) comic book adaptation and one is a much more complex moral, cultural, and theological epic.

That being said, everything on the LOTR films were turned up to 11. TDK is great for what it is, but as an overall mature piece of film, it can never be and I don't think the Academy will ever let it's "types" into their little crowd.

hey hey now.. you can throw mud at TDK all you want.. but leave my LOTR trilogy alone! That best picture was for the whole trilogy and for Ian not getting best supporting actor!!!
But I agree with you... this year has been pretty weak so far..

and Jett needs to get a life - its only a movie

I will gladly throw it in his face if TDK doesnt get nominate for best picture
