The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is coming to Luxembourg next week. I feel it is my duty to encourage you all to watch films in English. Shall we indulge in a little hype?

Still, I can not see why they didn't keep the original theme music for Batman...

...Now, why would that in any way damage the dark overtones of the new Batman?



Positive praise for The Dark Knight has been almost universal, but not everybody in Gotham loves Batman:

...reminds me of when my car insurance went up by £200 a year because my car needed to be insured against being used in a terrorist attack. I don't know why, but I found it hard to believe that Osama Bin Laden was sitting in a Afghan cave saying, 'Ok, we have the weapon of mass destruction. We have the fake IDs. We have maps to the city and information regarding Police deployment on that day. Now, all we need is the correct type of car.' Terrorist A pops up and suggests, 'A Mercedes?', to which Osama replies, 'No, too flashy.' Terrorist B interjects with, 'A van?', frustrated, Osama counters, 'Always with the vans! Can us terrorists think of nothing original?!' Nervously, terrorist C raises his hand and says shyly, 'TobytheTeacher's 1997 bright red Ford Escort Turbo Diesel?' 'The one with all the hubcaps missing?' 'Yes.' 'And 200,000 miles on the clock?' 'Yes.' 'That stalls every time you put it into reverse?' 'Yes.' Osama grins, 'Perfect!'
