This conversation is going the right way, right?

hell yes baby

EDIT: to make this not a worthless post, I thought it was a good movie. Certainly should please Batman fans who have just been fucked in the ass by previous films.

LZ, I don't think every movie will be the best movie ever made. I don't think every movie will have a perfect script. I just wish it would. If you're cool with things sucking, that's your problem.

And Beaner, the fact you put Transformers up as the opposing force shows that you missed the point. It's not that one isn't better than the other, it's that they could be SO MUCH BETTER.

No, I got that too... But at what point are we willing to sacrifice what little redeeming qualities they have in order to bitch and moan about all the shit that went wrong?

It's not bitching and moaning, it's being critical. And it's not exactly a character trait to be shameful of.

Continuing with what Encephalon said - Is it possible that filmmakers sometimes simply create a fantasy in which the characters and events are to be taken at face value and not over-analyzed? I'm not saying that's the case with TDK, I just wonder if you critique every movie as if it has messages that the writer/director was trying to subtly communicate when it's quite possible that he/she did not mean to "say" anything but instead just wanted to make an entertaining flick.
Latest music rips (updated April 11, 2008):

Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Really cool; dark, full, emotional strings mixed with drums, piano, choir. Kind of like Furious Angels?
Super Off-Road - SNES rock from the Follin bros.

Currently playing: Nothing

Play-Asia - Japanese CDs, game soundtracks, game imports, & more


What else do I listen to?

It's not a matter of over-analyzing, it's a matter of analyzing. Critical thought is not pretentious, it's just underused.

And I'm sure there's people who set out to just make a flick for the sake of making a flick. But setting out to create something purely entertaining still requires you to have a plot, or a message. Something. Or else the movie just collapses into itself like so much boneless Orson Welles.
SMAAAASH!!

Considering that the last movie to hold most of those records was fucking Spider-Man 3, I'd say lesser of two evils should come into play.

So wait.

Enceph steps in to tell people to stop discussing the movie.

Then LZ comes in and fails at what the internet construes as farce or humor or something.

And this is the community we all signed up for? Yuck.
This farce... this 20th century Bastille that pretends to be a pocket Democracy... Can you laugh? Can you cry? Can you think? Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment, and will die here like rotten cabbages.

You know what? If this is about the most complicated thought you can process from this, we'll just go ahead and go with that.

I will seriously never understand why you subliminally hate this place so much and still remain here.

Oh, so you only respond to the parts of a post you choose to. How clever.

I cannot fathom why a staff member wants to kill a thread topic for absolutely no reason. You basically come off as someone's snot-nosed kid brother trying to butt in on a conversation between adults. If you're not going to fucking add anything to the pre-exisiting conversation, its okay to sit one out, rope-a-dope.

Rated higher than the Godfather. And a solid 1.0 above Dr. Strangelove.

Welcome to the bizarro world that is imdb ratings.

The whole idea of rating movies in relation to other movies is so logically bankrupt that I can't imagine why anyone would expect the results to be anything other than stupid. Is "Rear Window" better than "Psycho"? What does that even mean

It means people really like funny exit lines.
