2nd Thoughts on The Dark Knight

I am very interested to fans who bought the DVD in December of The Dark Knight and how they feel.

I loved the movie in the theater, gushed about it as one of the best Superhero movies ever, and then saw it again on DVD, and I have to say, I may have to retract those statements.

I still think it is a good movie, but when you love a movie and first get it on DVD, you watch and watch the hell out of it. I watched it once, and then tried watching it again, and it just isn't holding the replay value I thought it would.

Interested in others opinions...

It did not need a new thread. That's my thought on it.

Re: 2nd Thoughts on The Dark Knight

I loved it more when i got it on Blu-Ray. I had already heard so much hype before seeing it in theaters that it could not possibly have met those expectations at that time.

Waiting for someone that's seen it twice to start a "3rd viewing thoughts on TDK" thread...

This is the GREATEST FILM OF ALL TIME. If anything, we don't have enough threads on the film. In fact, in honor of Heath Ledger we should have a moratorium on any threads NOT related to TDK.

Woohoo another TDK thread!

Awesome movie, mediocre Blu-ray. Thread closed.

You could have made 3 new polls in the time it took you to make that post.

you post nothing of significance in your OP to even remotely further discussion or continue discussion on an already discussed to death topic.

you are simply here to annoy and that is all. you, just like your cronies before you, are likely to never post in this thread again whether it started witty discussion again or not.

Re: 2nd Thoughts on The Dark Knight

So it's ok for some people to make reposts, but not for others?
Makes sense.

Re: 2nd Thoughts on The Dark Knight

As far as I know, it isn't OK for anyone to create a duplicate thread. It's been that way in the 9 years I've been here. Be prepared for the onslaught when you do, which is why I search like a mother before I create a thread and that's the way it should be.

Wow the repost nazi rears his ugly head. How many previously discussed topics do you make threads for per week?

I saw the film in theaters a couple of times in its original run. Bought the dvd when it came out, but still havent watched it yet. I have a fear that maybe I built it up too much in my memory, for some reason. Maybe it is all the hype around the oscars for Heath, i dont know. I will most likely watch it sooner rather than later.

Re: 2nd Thoughts on The Dark Knight

I think we need a Dark Knight thread to discuss which Dark Knight thread in the forum is the best and another thread to discuss which one is the worst. Both threads should have polls and started by abe55.

About time someone else noticed this.

Hows this then: 1 out of two threads you make is a repost of a previous thread. You apparently either fail to search, or don't know how to search.

Oh and most of your posts in threads, are to point out what you consider to be "reposts". You really are a wannabe mod, and actually a bit of a "nazi" as another post stated.

Agreed. I complained about this because lately, almost every one is doing whatever the fuck they want and there is no order like there was before IB took over. Still, I was called attacked by other members for trying to keep a little order and less duplicity.

The moderators haven't changed. Acting like it's different because of IB is silly, let alone believing that there was "order" before. People have always created duplicate topics. That's not going to change any time soon.
