Sources in England say that a new sound track has been distributed to theatres in the States with a lowered background noise to enable you to understad him better but the Producers are denying any alteration.

Didn't know that. I do know that Nolan has confirmed that for the final cut they will alter the sound so you can hear what Bane is saying.

You see this is the problem with type casting actors. you end up missing out on their potential.

You do know that Jack Black and Kyle Gass are members of the Tim Robins Shakespear society.

Jack Black is a Classically trained actor.

I'm fully aware of this and highly critical of people type-casting. I think one of Jim Carrey's best performances is in 23. But people constantly slate that movie as one of this worst.

So last night I watched 'Lars and the Real Girl' and tonight I saw 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'

I think I'm going to have a mental breakdown.

I still haven't seen Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Good choice in Lars, though. I thought it was excellent.

Yeah, I was really uneasy and awkward throughout Lars though. Don't know why, but it freaked me out a little bit.

My Girlfriend has read the book and seen the Swedish version - she admitted that the new release is supurb. I definitely recommend seeing it.

It's one movie I'm really keen on seeing. I read the book, not really sure what to expect. Absoloutly loved it, couldn't put it down. Gotta get round to reading the second and third ones now.

I watched 'The Ghost Writer' tonight and enjoyed it but I thought the mystery took too long to build up and the end was a little flat, but decent film regardless.

Saw Sin City for the first time last night, not bad at all, thought at times some of the acting was a bit poor but it was a really interesting and dark film, Frank Miller is a superb writer.

TBH It's worth watching for Jessica Alba's scenes alone, finally something to rival Sienna Miller's scenes in Layer Cake=p~

I saw GWTDT Yesterday and it was fantastic, The suspense built really well and the story never lulled.

I've now bought the book and as soon as my Newest Daughter gets into a better routine we'll be hiring the Swedish version and watching the whole trilogy.

Can't wait until the next two are released! Trent reznor Score is perfect as well.

When you've listened to all 3 hours of it let us know if it's any good. love the cover of Immegrant Song, but not sure if it's worth getting the whole album if it's no good out of context.

From what I hear, it's a lot like Ghosts. DIY context.

Just came across this peach of a poster for TDK



He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

So many good fucking quotes from that movie. If you're not laughing the entire way through it, there's something wrong with you.

One of my top 3 movies.

I dunno if I can like Snatch until ozboy tells me that it's intellectually superior to other films or not based on the accolades that the creator has received for TV Series that ozboy has never seen.

It's not a hugely scientific method, but damn it works.

Don't forget the bit where he adds up the total number of awards won by the director, multiplies by pi, writes that number on a piece of paper, eats it, shits onto a film projector and then compares the result.

Loved Sherlock Holmes 2. Didn't feel like it had as much of a story line as the last one, but very enjoyable.

Heard that Jurassic Park 4 is coming out some time next year.

Watches the best part of all 3 thus far tonight on 7Mate. I actually hadn't ever seen any of them. I really don't think they should bring out 4. By the time we got through the first 15 of 3, I was thinking "Same shit, different actors..." (bar the one bloke)
