There is no better response than that.

Passive aggressively way of pointing out that I wasn't being very original in stating the obvious.

It doesn't matter, though-- Edward Norton has been in a lot of good movies. I've never seen American History X, like everyone else on the planet, I think Fight Club was amazing-- but he's been in many other great movies like Red Dragon, The People Versus Larry Flynt, Death to Smoochy and Primal Fear.

All that still didn't stop The Avengers from sucking.

]I didn't like Spiderman 3 all that much, but I did love Memento. I thought it was a pretty interesting look at a film and a great way to portray the story from the perspective of a man who can't create new memories. The scenes where you start to see why he has things the way he does and came to the conclusions he did are pretty amazing. Also what was left to interpretation about him and Sammy was pretty brutal if you think about the possibilities.


I'm sorry, all I hear after someone says they liked Memento is "BLAH BLAH I LOVE CHRISTOPHER NOLAN WITH A BLIND PASSION BECAUSE HEATH LEDGER WAS AMAZING IN THE DARK KNIGHT BLAH BLAH BLAH..."

He literally just said exactly why he liked Memento, without once saying anything about the reasoning you suggested. Isn't it possible, that, you know, he actually likes it? I mean, the thing got a lot of good reviews when it first came out, so unless you're suggesting that all those critics were time-travelling TDK fans, it is possible that people actually enjoy it. I haven't seen it, maybe I'd actually share your views on its quality, but there were some fans of it pre-TDK.

And if critics have started time-travelling, we've got bigger problems than their views on Memento.

I don't know, and I don't care. All I know is Memento was a confusing mess that people adore because the guy who directed made a good movie where Heath Ledger's scenes were the only ones worth watching. The rest of The Dark Knight is unwatchable-- between the whiny crap with Harvey Dent, Christian Bale's horrible Batman voice and the infuriatingly confusing scene where they're in Hong Kong-- Heath Ledger was the only thing that made that movie any good.

In all seriousness (what passes for serious in this discussion) I don't see where your issues with TDK are coming from at all. When was Harvey Dent whiny? When he got his face blown off? When he lost his fiancé? I think we can safely write those off as "grieving". What did you find confusing about the scene in Hong Kong? It was straightforward. Bad guy in Hong Kong, needed in Gotham, Batman went go get him. Leger's performance was great, but it didn't make the movie. He was one piece of the larger picture, with the writing, the visuals, and the performances by most of the other actors contributing quite a bit as well.

He's a little bitch pretending to be a badass.

No he isn't. I'd go into detail about how you're ignoring the obvious contexts for each of those scenes, circumstances that make his behavior in them perfectly rational and expected, but I'm pretty sure you're already well aware of that XD

I debated giving that an actual response, but since you keep missing the part about other people possibly having their own opinions for reasons different than those of your own narrow reference pools, I think at this point this will suffice:

 		Guys, you can still like Memento and The Dark Knight, hell I don't care what you like-- it's your opinion, I just might not share it. I can like something you dislike and you can dislike stuff I like-- that's what makes humanity great, it's what's separates us from the savages in Australia.

 		Ledger's TDK performance is one of the most overrated things in the history of ever. Not saying it's bad by any means, but holy fuck is it overrated. The entire film is.

Thank you. There's the important part of what I was getting at a few posts ago.

So... what else do we talk about while waiting endlessly for Entry #72? Spiderman? The Shining? Tostitos?

 		@Magyk: That was pretty much my reaction to the Red Wedding when I read it in the novel, too. I was physically shaking when the dinner scene started in the episode.

I have to be honest, I wasn't sure if they were going to fit it at the end of this season or the beginning of the next.
