He makes the best f**king films
If I ever meet him I'm gonna grab his f**kin' neck and just shake him
And say thank you thank you for makin' such excellent f**kin' movies
Then I'd twist his nose all the way the f**k around
And the rip off one of his ears and throw it
Like a like a like a f**kin' frisbee
I wanna chew his f**kin' lips off and grab his head and suck out one of his
eyes and chew on it and spit it out in his face
And thank you thank you for all of your f**kin' films
Then I'd pick him up by the hair swing him over my head a few times
And throw him across the room and kick all his f**kin' teeth in and then
stomp on his face 40 or 50 times
Cuz he makes the best f**king films he makes the best f**king films
I've ever seen in my life
I f**kin love him
I f**kin love him

This is creepy.

So, I do not think I have ever posted on this site, so excuse me for delineating from the usual patois or whatever, so, etc...

... But I have been away from my computer for roughly two days *shock...absolutely*, and I have quite simply been overwhelmed by the content of this supposedly "slow week". It seems that TDK is extending (or projecting) this subverted anxiety over it's opening numbers (even more it's sustainable numbers, i guess), i don't know.

Im not exactly specific in knowledge over box office (thats why i love you Davers) but I was wondering how the marketing and specifically its viral campaign will comment/elicit commentary on the movie from people, specifically pundits (funny little term to use there, i suppose).

I think it will be batshit fucking if the movie does over 130, but then again, i did hear this cute little and overtly precocious 6 year old girl at Hancock talking about how much she wants to see the dark knight, so i have no idea...

One more time: DO NOT DOUBT THE FUCKING BATMAN. You have been warned.

Joe, I agree with you.

i'm thinking there's a two-face thing going on here....jus' sayin'...

Mamma Mia was harmless fun. But my god Pierce Brosnan can NOT sing. The reviewer who said he sounds like a Walruss is being generous. His rendition of 'SOS' is a laugh riot.

i've got a man that makes me wanna kill

Do not under-estimate the Joker either.

YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DISCUSS?????

KATY PERRY.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, have you seen this chick???? SHE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNS.

This is the chick who has some song about KISSING A GIRL but it's NOT the Jill Sobule song from the mid-90s.

It's this HOT AWESOME CHICK WHO FUCKING OWNS YOUR ASS.

YOU ARE COMMANDED. YOU ARE INFERIOR.

BOW BEFORE HER. BOW.

YOU ARE NOT BOWING.

KATY PERRY OWNS YOUR ASS. KRISTEN STEWART OWNS YOUR ASS. OLIVIA THIRLBY OWNS YOUR ASS. ROSARIO DAWSON RENTS YOUR ASS.

I AM HORNY.

Yay. Here's to making homophobia even more mainstream!

This entire entry is bizarre, I must say.

Blue, at my screening the crowd was opening laughing at Pierce Brosnan. When he started up with his last song (I didn't even recognise it he butchered it so much) i think I said "oh no, not again" far too loud. But everyone was thinking it so I didn't feel so bad.

Lex, I think everybody here is fine with you being lonely and horny and sad and desperate and all that in the privacy of your own home, but my personal issue is: we didn't ask for you to share with us.

Kamikase - yes at my screening, in the normally sedate Kensington Odeon in west London, watching a movie can't really be called a communal experience because the crowd is usually so lifeless. But they erupted when Brosnan did his thing. Or 'throated-out' as Lex would say.

Speaking of Lex, I've only read this blog for a few months, but isn't he just making fun of the typical sex-starved internet movie geek?

It's more complicated than that, he's making fun of that type while embodying it, without irony, at the same time. It really is quite a feat.

There must be SOMETHING else to discuss, right?

The potential collapse of the US financial system. When there's a run on a bank and the LAPD is called in to ward off a potential riot, that tells you the ruling class is mightily scared.

Chucky: We are all dancing on the volcano's edge. To paraphrase a line from Restoration: Too many of us have been sleeping. We are about to be rudely awakened.

Quoting Restoration? How odd...

Dark Knight WILL open BIGGER than Batman Begins and the blogs will be talking about how disappointing it was because it didn't match the hype.
A good Batman movie won't necessarily appeal to everyone, but will do well.
I think the good numbers for Iron Man and Hancock could be us Bat-Fans watching SOMETHING before the darknight detective appears.

Those rioters trying to get their money back are wasting their time. The Federal goverment insures up to $100,000. I would have thought most of them don't have that much.

And contary to poular beliefm recent stats show the US economy (outside financial markets) to be doing better than everyone thinks:

http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/columnists/article4327589.ece

I am shocked and saddened the week's biggest event flew under the radar.

Die Hard turned 20 yesterday.

Kamy: Better still, I'm quoting a character played by a New Zealander. (One actually born in Northern Ireland, but that's a mere detail.) I realize you might normally look down on Kiwis, but...

It's not creepy. It's a song. Google it. It's about a famous director.

Knew it from the first line, mutinyco. "Martin Scorsese" by King Missile (of "Detachable Penis" semi-fame), yes? I went through a brief King Missile phase back in the early 90's.

"And contary to poular beliefm recent stats show the US economy (outside financial markets) to be doing better than everyone thinks"

I am certainly no economist, but I've read various places about how the optimists usually based their conclusions about the U.S. economy on statistics that extremely dubious or easily manipulated - such as the unemployment rate or GDP.

I have a hard time believing that the financial sector's woes can exist totally isolated from the rest of a supposedly fervent economy.

My favorite thing about Brosnan in Mamma Mia! is that the first time he "sings," the camera is moving away from him, we don't really see his mouth and we do see the other two guys "sing" and there seems a real chance that Bond is going to be dubbed... we think we have escaped... and then... THE SOLO!!!

Mwah ha ha!

Way to set us up to be truly horrified!

This is at least twice now where KamiCamel has admitted to being a discourteous moviegoer. Really, sir, can you not shut your yap for two hours without having to the be the center of attention?

I don't care that it's an obviously terrible movie like Prom Night or Mamma Mia... you are a rude little man if you're making catty comments and tsking and otherwise being a nuisance while others are trying to enjoy a movie, even a bad one.

How ARROGANT of you. Are you just a person who constitutionally CANNOT be alone with your thoughts for one minute? The fact that you seem to post or blog about every single idea that pops into your head kind of answers this question, but do you need constant validation at all times? What is the root of that?

Share with us, KCamel. Share. Why can't you be alone with your thoughts?

Poland, why wouldn't you just refuse to see this movie?

Repeatfather,

Nonsense! Everything is splendid, Smithers! Kindly pass me the Grey Poupon.

Josh,

Am I in the minority in being dissapointed with the steelbook presentation? Case is fancy and all, but there's no making-of doc!

Between Lex, IO, and Mutiny, it's become The Hot Performance Art Blog.

He may be silly, but can't fault Lex's taste...
Katy Perry (image posted BY Katy Perry)

The Ebert has bestowed 4 stars upon The Dark Knight. Every other review is now a mute point.

I am literally DYING to see DARK KNIGHT. I simply cannot...wait. Remember when you were a kid and you'd chew on paper on your back teeth and it felt kinda painful but kinda good and kinda weird? That's how I feel about DARK KNIGHT.

Also Aladdin...you know it's "moot," right? Right?

I think it was a Freudian slip, given that there are several people here we wish we could mute.

Saw Brosnan on the Daily Show last night, and even in the brief clip they showed (Brosnan and Streep singing "S.O.S."), I was shocked by his singing voice -- sounded like a dog baying at the moon.

Actually, the economy would be kind of worth talking about if there were any actual economists here...we do seem to be crawling closer to a stagflation situation here where the Fed is going to have to raise interest rates before too long.

Awesome pic, DP!

Don, I thought it looked funny. Firefox has spell check, but not grammar check. Oh well. Next time I'll get it right.

And that Katy Perry pic is awesome. I downloaded her latest song off of iTunes. Every fiber in my being knows it is not a great song by a long shot, but it's so damn catchy.

I don't care how much Dark Knight makes, will it beat Indy 4's six day gross?

More importantly, will it reach $300 million?

If it does the first, Roman, it does the second.

The key number is Friday's. $50 million is the number to beat. Indy did $56 million on Thursday and Friday combined. Iron Man started with $39m.

Batman Begins did less than 50% of its overall gross overseas, which means that even if it does $300m here, it could do less than Iron Man overall.

Five films did $700m worldwide last summer. It looks like Indy is the only film that will get there this summer.

Literally, Don?

Get thee to a hospital!

I wish the whole "How much is TDK going to make and why the box office will be bigger than all summer blockbusters combined, because it's such a masterpiece and give Ledger his Oscar already" blab got mute. Barf-friendly doesn't even begin to describe it.

Every night my dream’s the same.
Same old city with a different name.
Men are coming to take me away.
I don’t know why but I know I can’t stay.

There’s a weight that’s pressing down.
Late at night you can hear the sound.
Even the noise you make when you sleep.
Can’t swim across a river so deep.
They know my name 'cause I told it to them,
But they don’t know where And they don’t know
When It’s coming, when It’s coming.

There’s a fear I keep so deep,
Knew its name since before I could speak:
Aaaah aaaaaah aaaaah aaaaaah
They know my name 'cause I told it to them,
But they don’t know where And they don’t know
When It’s coming, Oh! when It’s coming

Keep the car running

If some night I don’t come home,
Please don’t think I’ve left you alone.
The same place animals go when they die,
You can’t climb across a mountain so high.
The same city where I go when I sleep,
You can’t swim across a river so deep.
They know my name 'cause I told it to them,
But they don’t know where
And they don’t know
When It’s coming, Oh! when is it coming?

Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running

Katy Perry's album is pretty good. It's standard female pop music, but I like her voice. It's nice in a rather trippy sort of way.

So here I am in LA, at a hotel near LAX -- and there's a massive billboard for Meet Dave just across the way. Also, there's a swimming pool just below my balcony -- I'm on the second floor -- and there are bikini-clad girls too young for even LexG to lust after splashing about. Think I'll go hustle up a bottle of Merlot, kick back and enjoy the view.

How can one person go from quoting the amazing Arcade Fire to then praising the homophobic git that is Katy Perry? She's a retched little worm and I hope she falls off a cliff and dies. Retched. Little. Worm. It doesn't surprise me that certain people are fans of her, considering they're the exact sort of people who would use "gay" as a derogatory term.

Lex, have fun on your perch out there. It'll get cold eventually with just you and IO all alone out there.

Okay that was a bit harsh. I don't want Katy Perry to die. I just want her to shut her fuckin' trap and to stop polluting the world with her offensive garbage. But no death. That'd be unfortunate.

KCamel, it's Joe, not Lex.
I didn't think they made bikinis for zygotes, though.

Holy Christ! Passed a gas station while on my way to the store... Regular here in LA is nearly 50 cents more per gallon than it is back in Houston. How do you folks live out here?

Not as well as we used to.

KCamel, how or why is Katy AWESOME Perry "homophobic"?

And again, why are you so over-opinionated? Do you ever spend a quiet night of introspection sans music and friends, or do you need validation every second of your life?

Cadavra: I can feel your pain.

On the plus side: My budget hotel has free high-speeed internet, free parking and MSNBC. Cowabunga. Last time I stayed in this neighborhood, at a higher-priced joint, I had to pay for parking and internet -- and didn't get MSNBC. I'm moving on up...

Lex, you're not getting enough irony in your diet if you're going to ask questions like the above.

Yeah, Jeff, I see what you're saying there, and obviously I'm no one to talk, but KCamel's chatty Kathy routine clearly hides a dark, conflicted undercurrent and he should fess to it. I'm "on" at all times, too, but I'll fully concede it's because I'm a repressed workaday douche with an underactive social life. I get the sense the K to the CAM overcompensates in those very areas but still has essentially the same fears and anxieties.

I still want to know how Katy Perry is "homophobic." Plus, SHE IS SMOKING FUCKING HOT. BOW TO HER. BOW. EVEN YOU, KCAMEL. ADMIT HER HOTNESS AND THAT HER SONG IS FUCKING AWESOME.

EVEN POLAND KNOWS on this subject and that pic gave me a boner especially since the rear chick seemed down for the backside which OWNS.

Lex: Hey, I'll show you a babe who OWNS...

http://movingpictureblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/helen-mirren-bikini-queen.html

CALIGULA OWNS.

I've ALWAYS said that even into ancient-ahe mega-cougarhood, Mirren is fucking awesome.

LEYDON NEAR LAX. If I weren't 85 years away and a total suburbanized douche, I'm sad I didn't agree to hit up the JET STRIP with THE MAN because Leydon owns almost as much as hot squizz.

Yeah, Lex, Bambi was sorry you couldn't drop by to check out her new dance routine. She has a spiffy new tattoo. Not as cool as mine, but spiffy.

Ha! Leydon, man. This dude OWNS. He's like the rowdy uncle I never had. While back, I'm YouTubing this guy and watching vintage Crowe and Clooney totally recognizing his awesomeness.

Camel: it's synthie female pop music. It's my thing. I also dislike KISSED A GIRL on a pure "JILL SOBULE DID IT BETTER FIRST" sort of way. Nevertheless, this is the night of the BAT! Be prepared.

Though I think Kamikazee can be overly snippy at times, I too have issues with Katy Perry. It comes off like the song is saying, "it's okay to kiss a girl, as long as your boyfriend enjoys it." Like Tila Tequila, she's a "gay" celebrity for straight guys.

TILA TEQUILA OWNS YOUR FUCKING ASS.

That chick is THE HOTNESS and she's my MySpace friend and I feel special about that.

To quote Lou Costello, "You and 20 million other guys."

Cadavra: Anyone who quotes one of my all-time fave movies, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, is OK in my book!

IO, I'm all about synthie girly pop music, but Katy Perry is an offensive slag. Her first single, which tellingly sank like a lead balloon, was called "Ur So Gay" in which she complained about her ex boyfriend not being manly enough. Essentially, if you're not a muscle bound wifebeater-wearing beer guzzler you might as well be a flitty gay faggy fag boy.

And now she's going around singing about how she kissed a girl and liked it.

Kissing girls is a-okay, but if a guy wants to kiss a guy it's gross and disgusting and to be made fun of. Oh my god, you're like so gay.

And trust me, I'm not one of those gay people who thinks everybody should be 100% PC and that all gay ppl should hate Madonna and Kylie because they represent all that is wrong with our lifestyle. I just think she's a homophobic slag who should shut up.

And fuck you Lex. Fuck you.

Camel: yeah... there's no real excuse for her silliness. She's pretty much playing to an audience who use GAY the same way and so on. It's ridiculous that motherfuckers have to use a term referring to an entire group of people as being anything INFERIOUR, but motherfuckers are lazy. They go along with the herd, slag an entire group of people, and act as if it's acceptible.

This is one those reason that I may have way too much bravado because you need to it to get the people around you to stop using GAY in a derrogatory way. It's just so ridiculous, but the way some white people act has never made much sense to me.

Let me rephrase the bravado statement. You essentially have to have a lot of it to get the people around you to cut certain shit out.
