It wasn't so much a nerve as I just saw Dark Knight for the first time over the past two days (I couldn't sit still and watch it in one sitting). It's fresh in my mind as being so bad. I only saw it through to the end so I would have full rights to bitch about it. ;-) (Did Nolan's gravelly Batman voice get worse?)
As for TDK's and Heather Ledger, I'm sure they'll just recast when they're ready to beat that dead horse (if you'll partdon the expression).
As far as Back to the Future goes, the sequels were made back to back (which is usually a recipe for disaster). It's amazing they managed to make the 3rd film so good (it would be the equivalent of Matrix Revolutions being a brilliant and redeeming film for the franchise.)
I agree, I wouldn't mind seeing a Sup Returns edit. I was eagerly awaiting one by a guy who was meticulously color correcting the whole film. I believe he dropped it once he got hired for a real cg fx job.
I recall reading recently that there is some gossip of the possibility of Frank Miller directing an adaption of The Dark Knight Returns. While we all know how those things go in Hollywood, I'll say it again: my dream casting for 'old' Batman would absolutely be Clint Eastwood.
re: SOJ edit :-) I need to not sit at my computer while watching it because I keep getting distracted.
I'd say so far I can't see 90% of the changes (though as many times as I've seen the Supe films before, I don't have it well memorized). I do notice the pace to be MUCH tighter, and that's a real mercy.
I hear what is likely sweetened sound fx in the destruction of Krypton (and found it pleasing.) I wouldn't mind hearing those large panes of glass break (that fall when Clark's ship crashes through the ceiling). The sound is conspicuous in its absence.
I have seen a bunch of white break ups (some in the letterbox bars some in the picture itself). I hope that's a problem being worked on.
