Just shows what hype and good marketting can do; it reflects nothing how good the film is. I can gurantee myself Dark Knight wont be the film that carries me off to the sherbert kingdom with an army of Ligers of awesomeness, since donnie darko already did it and Dark Knight looks boring to me Smile

Here the hype is more than justified. I'm sure there are a lot of people like you that feel The Dark Knight isn't worth this attention, but in this case you are Lichtenstein and the others are India and China together.

ya , like it owned like everything , but it surely won't stay there too long , but GG for TDK , speculation for Sat. boxoffice is like 66.7 mil , it didnt drop a dime , so that's like spectacular .

Nolan and Bale are like THE MONEY right now , if they make another1 it'll be a real bitch to script it and make it a worthy sequal , but the movie's budget wil be like almost twice of TDK and that could ruin it

I am sure Christopher Nolan/David S. Goyer will come up with a good script, as well as Jonathan Nolan, no sweat.

Nolan might be a cash machine right now, but I have always respected him for the great filmmaker that he is. Same goes for Bale as an actor.

Nolan actually does speak against the money making industry of the big studioes. He is old school, he goes to great lengths to use as much real film as possible. Here is a nice paraphrase from Nolan:

 Spoiler:
 


Why do you think the budget would be twice of TDK?

Batman Begins' budget was 150 mill
The Dark Knight's budget was reportedly 180 mill
Do the math for the next Batman movie

I hope his pro-IMAX campaign gets enough public attention to convince other producers to invest the money, even if they don't care about quality and just want to share the attention.

Producers from the entertainment industry like to rant against piracy, it's time for them to realize how grainy some Blu-Ray movies look and how bad most 'Loudness-War' CDs sound. People expect some quality for their money but if the product uses only a fraction of the medium's quality capacity, why should they spend a lot of money on it?

So far, there really is now alternative to film but in a few years HD cameras could easily replace film in term of quality. Hell, even today a digital HD video is indistinguishable from film on a 2-3 meter screen.

'Dark Knight' sets weekend record with $155.34M
Sunday July 20 1:47 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (AP) Batman has sent Spidey packing as king of Hollywood's box-office superheroes.

"The Dark Knight" took in a record $155.34 million in its first weekend, topping the previous best of $151.1 million for "Spider-Man 3" in May 2007 and pacing Hollywood to its biggest weekend ever, according to studio estimates Sunday.

And a movie that actually deserves its popularity... I just wish like a string of good movies would be really popular. People would then develop a smidgen of taste and bad movies would stop being made.

Guys like Michael Bay would be GONEZO!

Laughing Laughing Laughing Rolling Eyes

Watch a night time scene on a digital camera, then say this again. Seriously, nothing digital so far, and certainly nothing in the foreseeable future, can compete with film. They certainly come close on some occasions, but lack completely on others. Plus, film has the potential to hold much more information than currently could be used. That's how you have old movies look great on blurays. With digital, even if shot on relatively large resolution for today's standards, in 30-50 years, there will be no magical way of making them look on the then standard video requirements. With digital it is "what you see is what you get," you can't improve the telecine machine and process and get better quality.

There are two technologies pushing to remove film as the filming standard - digital shit and IMAX cameras (which will become much more popular due to TDK's success). One is (for now) shit, the other masterpiece...

... The shit will probably win. Laughing

ish all about lighting tho. Very Happy If it's lit well you can get it to look nice in hd and on film Very Happy

Quality isn't an issue. They're moving on up in the digi world. Yahup.

Quality won't be a problem. Nah-ah.

You can shoot in film and your movie will look like shit. You can shoot in digi and you movie iwll look like shit. If you got people who know how to use a camera and how to light scenery... then you won't have a problem. and it will look good.

Lighting is crucial. Sad

I dislike it how people say this and say that. Film is expensive and you get stressed producers and bitchy directors when you waste time on screen (money goes up). Digi is cheap as dirt and your producers and directors will be lazy bums who dun care what you do cause they can always buy a tape or two if you fuck up. And that's where the big problems is. Shoot times become longer, post becomes longer, production becomes longer. You'll end up paying your crew the money you would've paid for film. Laughing

Quality will be the same on both if you got an amazing dop. Razz
It's just different work ethic.
You get poor performance 70% of the time in a digi film.


TDK was awsum tho.

Lighting is the difference between amateur and professional.

Watch a high school film, a college film and then a studio film. Camera angles are VERY simple to master and often, the high school will be the best angle shooting because its freshest in their memories and its what theyre looking for the the most. You'll see angles taper off quite a bit in college because they just get all these neat tools, like Booms and Studio lights and backdrops and outdoor reflecters etc to get lighting right and they forget that good angles and framing are important.

A good studio film has experts in all of these areas and you can tell its a professional movie, and the medium actually makes little to no difference.

So I agree with you 100%
