Peter Travers Rolling Stone Review
3 1/2 Stars of 4

Minor Spoilers

The Dark Knight : Review : Rolling Stone

[MrsSpringsteen]

I don't want to read any reviews but thanks for posting Good to know it got 3 1/2 out of 4 but then again it is Rolling Stone.

I have Comcast On Demand and they have a section of Dark Knight stuff, it's all free. I watched most of it last night during a terrible storm. They have all the trailers and an alternate trailer and some behind the scenes features that were way too short-and a Gotham Today show with Anthony Michael Hall. They have a recap of Batman Begins and they completely cut Katie Holmes out of it. You're no Katie Holmes Maggie Gyllenhaal!

Losing Katie Holmes is already the best thing The Dark Knight did to improve upon the original.

I don't understand how you can give a glowing review like Travers did yet deduct a half-star without any mention of shortcomings.

So who would pick up Heath's theoretical posthumous Oscar? Chris Nolan? Jake Gyllenhaal? Michelle Williams? Matt Damon?

[GirlsAloudFan]

Mary-Kate Olsen?

[lazarus]

I was going to put her last, but changed my mind.

Nice that someone was willing to go the extra asshole distance for me!

Daniel Day-Lewis?

[lazarus]

NICE.

He will be there to present the Best Actress Oscar at least.

Let's relive that amazing moment earlier this year from the Screen Actors Guild awards...

YouTube - Daniel Day-Lewis SAG Speech

and then let's also revisit one of the greatest scenes ever performed by an actor:

YouTube - Bill the Butcher

The last respectable man I ever killed.

[lazarus]

You think Lance's Mom ever made a similar speech at her son's bedside?

"I'm forty-seven. Forty-seven years old. You know how I stayed in business this long, all these years? Lust. The spectacle of lustful acts. If someone pays me $5, I use my hand. If he spends more, I use my tongue. If he rises against me, I cut off his johnson, stick it on a pike, raise it high up so all the other streetwalkers can see. That's what preserves the whoredom of things. Lust.

That one tonight--who was he? A nobody, a coward. What an ignominious end that would have been. I drilled the last honorable man fifteen years ago; since then...you see his portrait downstairs? Is our mouth all glued up with Juicy-Juice? I asked you a question.

Oh, you got a perverted rage in you, I like that. It's puberty, boiling up inside you, it's good. The pimp and me, we lived by the same principles. It was only scat that divided us. He gave me this, you know. That was the finest reaming I ever took. My ass was pulp. My nose was pierced, my lips all mashed up..and when he came to finish on me...they couldn't look him in the eye. He spared me because he wanted me to live in shame--this was a great man. Great man. So I cut off the nipple that turned away. Sent it to him wrapped in newspaper. I would have cut 'em both off if I could have worked blind. And I rose back up again with a full brothel, and buried him in his own powerjuice.

He was the only man I drilled worth remembering.

I never had another son.

Prostitution is crumbling.

God bless you."

Arguably your best.
