So I guess the Dark Knight comes out pretty soon. I haven't really heard too much about it up to this point. It kinda feels like dead weight. Straight to DVD kinda of dead. We'll see because I have been wrong before about these summer busts.
Here is what I am least looking forward to dealing with after The Dark Knight premieres:
1. People who feel heath ledger deserves an Oscar. His performance may be the best thing since I can't believe it's not butter garlic flavor, but it will assuredly be overhyped because (and we can be honest) he is dead. If he was set to to headline the cast of Brokeback Mountain 2: The Search for Curly's Golden Shower in theaters this fall than it would just be a good performance from that crazy guy who dated Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You.
2. People who say the movie is overrated because god forbid they just admit that it was as good as everyone said it was. They'll say it was too long or self-serving. They will read rottentomatoes and highlight the more grammatically intimidating sentences of the few rotten reviews the movie will receive from critics who cannot admit that the movie was good. It is a vicious cycle.
3. People who will overrate this movie. It cannot be just a great movie. It has to be a masterpiece. Iconic. A triumph of cinema. Only because Peter Travers said so.
No one wants this movie more than me. I have waited years for this. Batman. The Joker. Amazing cast. Amazing director. Amazing writers. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. So what happens if it is short of?
I hold my breath for Quantum of Solace.
