Oh to answer your question, yes I was high. That always enhances the film experience though.

  I'd fall asleep.

I guess the editing thing is a personal prefrence.  It was the ploar opposite of say the LOTR movies(and books) the editing in those films is such where they spend 20 minutes on one scene with a few actors. So long to where you forget about the other characters. Then they switch and you're like oh yeah these guys again.  LOTR is so driven by the story telling aspact of it where as  TDK is in essence an action film so I felt the editing kept things moving.  I will agree on one thing though. It would have been nice to have one scene with the Joker all by himself. Ala the scene in LOTR where Gollam has a conversation with himself(Smeagol). That would've been truely amazing.

I don't think it's fair to bury the Joker with Heath.  The character doesn't belong to him, and although I agree with him owning the role, I don't think it should die with him.

I don't necessarily mean retire the Joker forever just for this paticular franhcise that Nolan as come up with.  Like you I trust the vision of this franhcise so I would like to see a third installment 100%. I dont' thin they'd fuck it it up at all.

Do you guys think Tom Cruise could pull off the Riddler? I like Cruise as an actor and part of me can see this being a  good fit but I wonder if he'd be too big of a star. Would it be too "Tom Cruise"?  he'd be better than Jim Carey though that's for damn sure:haha:

I'm gonna go watch this tonight. Funny though, we're gonna go see this and neither one of us has watched Batman Begins(although she has it already torrented).

I prefer Snakepit and the one Dave solo album that wound up being The System Has Failed to any Buckethead.

Well, besides the leaks anyway.

You're back to hating Buckethead again? I thought I cured you of that in 2006.:laugh:
