Dark Knight Rises - Now that we know the cast
Time

Saw it last night! It was ok, kinda 'Return of the Jedi' ok. Not as good as the second film, but not as bad as I thought it would be. The trailers etc never really got me that excited. 

 

One thing I did notice tho, during the stock market hostage scene, they emerge from the building in daylight, have a little bike ride, go underground, Batman turns up, go overground and it's night time!!! Big whoops!!

I took a nap this afternoon. I woke up, went out my front door, and saw that the state police had blocked off the street on both ends with yellow tape.

 

Three people were brutally shoot in the house across the street. One of the guys apparently kept shooting the one victom so much that the bullets went through his body, through the floor and into a water pipe, flooding the entire downstairs.

 

 

Wheres the punch line?

After gathering together every clip of ESB:R that I could find and watching them in order on my big telly (I'll let you be the judge of how sad that is) I noticed something a bit dodgy about the newest clip.

At about 14 seconds in as the Star Destroyers approach Hoth two TIEs fly in from screen right. Around both of them, but most noticably the one on the right, those horrible matte boxes can be clearly seen - even more so as they fly closer together and over the Super Star Destroyer. Now, I remember Ady saying that as many of those things "as possible" would be removed but to my eyes that shot is composed in a similar way to the one of the Falcon flying with the Death Star in the background from ANH and he made a very good job of cleaning that one up.

Surely Ady couldn't have missed this one (for he is all knowing and seeing) as it's quite obvious on the big screen and if this is the case then I'd be interested to know what factors contributed to it not being "fixable". For an amateur like myself his work appears almost miraculous but it'd be interesting to get a little insight into the limits of the tech that's being used!

Sort your telly out!
