Just sat through an interminable Dark Knight in a sold out cinema with no air con after a pretty large meal. It was enjoyable up till the first natural end point of the film, but then they had to stumble about in the dark for 45 minutes or more with what could easily have been the plot of an entirely different film if they had put their minds to it. Thank god for Heath Ledger's performance as it's pretty much the only one in it.
And is it me or did Harvey Dent look a little like Ken Barlow? It's that hair!
Really like the effect of the ascending screechy note during fight scenes and the way the incidental music would drop out suddenly though. We had to give each other a nudge when Battersea Power Station made an appearance as the exploding warehouse where Rachel meets her end! But overall nowhere near as good as Batman Begins for me. Good to see Matthew Walker's excellent short Operator beforehand though.
The meal beforehand was at Gastro, opposite the Clapham Picturehouse. Massive bowls of soup, probably a pint or more in each. I had tomato with basilica and Sam had fish soup. Not a bouillabaisse I don't think. The size of the soups meant that we barely had room for the steak and rabbit we had ordered for our main courses. But we managed. The restaurant couldn't be more French if it was in France. Only gripe was being asked if we would like to see the desert menu before our main course had arrived. Excellent.
What with trying to digest that lot and the warmth of the dark cinema it's a good job the film was loud as we may have been sound asleep in no time.
In fact I'm off to bed now and will add some links to this later I think.
