If you do ONE MORE multi-quote I am going to get your power shut off, jon. :mad:

And, no, I'm not talking about graphic novels. I know what those are and didn't use the term for a reason. ;)

ETA: But graphic novels apply, too. It's like the the different kinds of cartoons. Some cartoons are for adults and others are for children. And you don't need a complex storyling to have an adult audience. They don't have to be a "Heavy Metal" (love it!) to be for adults.

*Cough* Losers. *Cough*

I may see the movie because Christian Bale is a badass, but that is quite enough of this comic book garbage. This is a Greek website, not the star wars lair or Fark.

CrackerBarrels going to be the biggest dork about this movie after he sees it. :)

It's like my father when he didn't want to see Lion King years ago. He loved it so much that he had to stay until the credits went off. :) "Wait! I want to see who did the voice of Mfufu!!!" (there was no Mfufu, just saying....)

Exactly, entertainment. Talk about 80's music, alcohol, drugs, and sports. :D

You can start another thread on any of those subject CB.
But this is not a thread about those topics.
In case you missed it: Entertainment >Batman-The Dark Knight.

:eek: ... WOW. It was long. I really had to pee. But I was NOT moving from my seat. Except for the dozen or so moments when I flew out of it from the loud 'stun' music/shots.

Let's just say, as hard as I tried, I could not see Heath Ledger through the character. There was truly a psychopath on screen. Job well done!

And just for the record ... Christian Bale - DELICIOUS. :D

I agree completely.

I just got back from seeing the movie, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. I went into it with high expectations, and I believe this film met them.

Heath Ledger truly embodied the Joker in this film -- which is really frightening to think about. His portrayal of the character was so dark. I personally think he does deserve a posthumous award for his work.

Everyone else in the movie was magnificent as well. I must admit -- Christian Bale was looking very good, yet again... :D

We just watched 3:10 to Yuma the other night, Christian was looking scruffylicious in that one, I look forward to enjoying the cleaned-up version of him in this movie.

I've never been a comics book kind of girl either, but I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal (who I LOVE and I'm so glad she's in this movie instead of Katie Holmes) made an interesting point about her learned appreciation of comics since doing the movie on The Daily Show last night. She talked about how they really involve imagination and she commented on the storyline complexity, too.

Here's a link to her segment last night: http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/in...gie-gyllenhaal

They are generally not your fathers (or your own younger day) comics.
"A graphic novel is a type of comic book, usually with a lengthy and complex storyline similar to those of novels, and often aimed at mature audiences. The term also encompasses comic short story anthologies, and in some cases bound collections of previously published comic book series (more commonly referred to as trade paperbacks).
Graphic novels are typically bound in longer and more durable formats than familiar comic magazines, using the same materials and methods as printed books, and are generally sold in bookstores and specialty comic book shops rather than at newsstands.".....

I'm a real clown for not knowing the difference in types of comic books? I would have phrased it "When you CAN explain it and reference it then you know you are possible a real clown and dork..."

You would have phrased? I am not you...(Thank God!!) thus....how I phrased it stands...

I mean...you DID respond...so.....

To paraphrase Carly Simon, "I guess you thought my post was about you..."
