Reed, Gyuri, anybody in DC in the near future:

It is now playing at the Air & Space Imax on the mall. 5:35 and 8:35.

I definitely would be up for a viewing. (Best days would be Tuesday and Thursday.) I could make either time.

I think I could do that. I'd slightly prefer the later viewing simply b/c it will be easier to get there, but I could do either.

I didn't find the plot as hard to follow as some of the people on the thread. I must have missed the suggestion that Batman was going to rescue Rachel but the Joker had switched the addresses. It made more sense to me that the dark knight would make a decision based on what is most important to him, that being the best interests of Gotham, rather than Rachel.

I thought the same as you originally but subsequently they repeat the adress Dent was actually at (225 West 50th or something similar) over and over again to drill home the point that The Joker had said Rachel was there.

I thought the bullet into the concrete thing was quite straightforward. The real one had shattered, so he needed to try to piece it back together to get the fingerprint by imitating the shot. Just like finding the instructions to put a jigsaw together.

Er, what?!

Can someone please explain this bit to me really simply as I can't grasp either of the explanations given on here and it was one of the things I left the cinema wondering.

The other was who the fifth person Dent killed was as referred to by Gordon and Batman as the "five deaths" that need to be pinned on somebody. I count the two corrupt cops and the mob boss and his driver, who else?

Overall it was a really, really good film and I'd add my awe of Ledger's performance to everybody else's (happily, as I was worried he was doing a panto Joker like Nicholson's in the trailer). With all the comparisons to Dean, young Nicholson and De Niro mentioned here and other places the actor itmost reminded me of was Brando. I don't get to as many movies as I'd like but I would really like to see any performance that beats it to the Oscar

I do agree with the comments on the sound mix though (either on the edit or by individual cinema), I was very glad that I saw it alone in a relatively empty screen so I could concentrate on making out all the dialogue.

Oh, and I presume the Chinese money man died on the dollar bill pyre? It wasn't made explicitly clear as far as I could see.

The Joker said he would blow up both ships if anyone left either of them though.

I have just re-read your explanation of the scene where Wayne fires multiple bullets in to different bricks. Are you saying he was trying to find a bullet that made the same sort of hole in the brick as the shattered one did so that he could know what shape and size bullet for the computer to recreate the pieces in to and reveal the fingerprint?

That makes sense, if I really force myself.

Two-Face spared the second corrupt cop, Ramirez, didn't he - she got the lucky coin toss? Do we know for certain the mob boss died too?

I could probably do a viewing there any day, so pick a time that works for you and I'll join you.

Reed/Gyuri: They don't have a show this Thursday (though that would have worked well), but next Tuesday they have a 5:45. Is that doable?

5:45 is too early for me, unfortunately.

The best option for me on the late show would be 8:45 next Friday. Here is the schedule:

But I could maybe swing another time if it was better.

I don't think I can go next Friday, as I'm likely to be on my way up to NYC. But if it's the best time, you two should go then.

I'm not really picky. The late show seems to be limited to Fridays and Saturdays though.
