[Brain Damage]

This makes me a sad panda. You expect me to believe that a bunch of Batman geeks have something better to do than rant/praise TDKR on a Friday night?

Bull

But thanks for your effort in trying to organize this, Anno.

[Anno_Domini]

Hahaha, I try. Well, I suppose more could show up and just forgot for a few minutes.

[JackWhite]

I probably shouldn't have watched TDKR yesterday, lol. It was perfect timing though, because I was off work early and could watch it with the roaring surround sound.

[Kane52630]

lol I guess we have to reschedule then?

lol, well don't do so on my accord. I mean, it might be better to reschedule anyway, considering no one else seems to be around at the moment.

What would be cool, is if we did this for the entire trilogy, one film at a time, when the ultimate collector's edition is released. But I don't think many here would want to wait that long.

Maybe July 19/20, a kind of 1 year later thing.

That sounds pretty good also.

[ThePhantasm]

What got rescheduled?

[bilbo baggins]

i watched it. if my girlfriend sees me watch it again shes out the door. lol

[Travesty]

Good woman.

Like I need another excuse to watch TDKR. But it does sounds effing weird. '' Hey honey why are you watching Rises again?'' ''I'm watching it because someone I don't know and never met told me to from the internet'' she replys ''but when it's time to help with my parents your busy''. But then again replying to people on the net about a movie then trying to explain why you like it is .......... Yeah we all know the answer.

But, anyways, it's close to 5! Have fun if you're going to watch TDKR and I'll stick around to read before I leave!

So sorry, Anno. Something unexpected came up at the last moment and I couldn't make it for the viewing!

I'm happy to reschedule though if everyone else is.

The Dark knight Rises is my bluray demo disc. When I want to show someone what bluray has to offer I just crank up the volume and put on Rises. We all might not get along but it's great to know that there are people out in this world that still want to talk and watch this movie just like myself. Even if they only like parts of the movie. That's still good. I still have'nt met people that are devoted to Batman as I am but it's good to know they are out there!

you are not alone....

If you're gonna demo, make sure your display is calibrated! Get a disk like the free AVS HD calibration disk or one of the ones sold in stores, perhaps with a blue filter. Many people's TVs have I looked at that just had bad settings.

Not a bad idea

The 19th is a Friday, the 20th is a Saturday...which would be best?

It's cool. I had to reschedule anyways as there was only myself and Brain Damage(and I had to leave for work anyways).

So, July 19 or 20 for the one year anniversary sounds like a GREAT idea.

Batman really only appears three times in the last film, his first return is at dusk, his breaking is in the dead of night, and his final appearance is literally at dawn.

Knight being darkest before the dawn and all the symmetry is pretty fitting.

stone me if this has already been mentioned.

Never thought of that. Awesome.

[Anno_Domini]

Pretty cool way of looking it, but I'm sure someone will say "Nu-uh, Batman showed up during the early evening before he met Bane in the sewers and also made his second return the night before the war in front of City Hall!"

But I do like that idea...isn't that the deal with the trilogy too? BB represents dusk, TDK represents night, TDKR represents day?

[Two-Face]

Me too.

Pretty much. Especially when you consider how throughout the trilogy, Nolan progressed more and more with daytime scenes.

Right even if you don't want to go that far, Batman's last stand being the only time he has shown up in the day time has to hold some sort of undeniable meaning. Nolan could have written the scene for a night time battle like all of the others.

Yeah I've got my HD tv calibrated with my surround calibrated too. I'm very anal when it comes to all that. I've been to other family's houses and have done their tv's too. We spend all this money so we need to get what we paid for.
