10. Dark Knight (2008), dir. Christopher Nolan

Seen this evening at the Light with gillywoo, nikkyboy, glennkenobi and blondelass.

Yup, good stuff. Basically exactly what you expect from a Batman movie these days. You know, dark and long and with big explosions. I realised as I was sitting down that I could hardly remember anything about the plot of the last one - but it didn't matter, and nor will the fact that I can't remember the plot of this one tomorrow morning, either.

Michael Caine was probably the best thing in it, but Morgan Freedman and Gary Oldman gave good value too. I cannot believe it is wise for anyone to ride around on a big powerful motorcycle while wearing a long flowing cape, though.

Oh, and a piece of advice if you go and see it (don't worry, not a spoiler): blondelass and I sat right through the entirety of the closing credits, just in case there would be something 'extra' after them... and there wasn't. So save yourself five minutes, and don't do that.

Ooh, ooh, ooh! No, I hadn't - thanks very much for the pointer! That'll be one to look forward to around Christmas time or so, I'm guessing. :-)

And it was lovely to see you, too!

Ack - I've got slack at monitoring HP news now that the books have finished. Lucky I've got chums like you to keep me up to speed, eh? ;-)

I've got slack at HP news too, 'though i was wondering when the next film was out.

I may have to re-read all the books again soon :)

It is such a great film (and Gary Oldman is utterly fantastic), although I do still prefer Batman Begins.

Thanks for letting us know about the ending - a friend of mine was told to sit through the credits, because there was 'something special' at the end. Clearly this was a big fib :P

It's always amusing and slightly odd to see someone I know through one group of people reference people I know from an entirely separate group of people!

'Tis is teensy-tinsy world indeed. :-)

One of these days I'll find time to knock out a mobile-friendly website that people can use to check to see if it's worth staying to the very end.

Hey, that sounds like a really good idea. I would definitely use it.
