Sorry, I meant to say “The Dark Knight was one of the best action movies ever”, but all that wouldn’t fit in the title space.  Raking in $198 million in it’s first weekend, plus that added bonus of $18 million just on the midnight showing, I think the film did pretty well for its self.  The 2hr 30min (+/-) was undeniably Ledger’s best work, and Aaron Eckhart’s role was beyond what I thought he could handle.  Oh, that Christial Bale fellow is still a badass.

Deadline Hollywood:I’ve just been told by unofficial sources that Warner Bros’ The Dark Knight is playing to packed Sunday performances for over $40M and maybe as high as $43M. That would mean a 9th record for the latest Batman installment since Spider-Man 3’s Sunday take in 2007 was a record-setting $39.9M. It’s also now abundantly clear that the Warner Bros caped crusader will crush the old 3-day weekend non-holiday record set by Spider-Man 3 last year. Also, Dark Knight should break its 9th record by beating the all-time weekly tally. Meanwhile, in its first six days, DK will have grossed more than the entire run of director Chris Nolan’s first installment Batman Begins.

Apparently I’ve taken the official role on this site as The Dark Knight updater.  Our homies (i.e. people we steal teh internetz from) over at WWTDD have posted the first 6 minutes of The Dark Knight.  There was a video camera recording (see below) floating around the web, but that version was pretty damn shaky.

The actual clip?  Pretty fucking awesome.  I’m actually think that this performance might be better than Jack Nicholson’s in the original movie.  Click here to go to WWTDD to watch it on their stupid media player that doesn’t allow people to rip off of it, or, watch the bad ass video camera version below.

Anyone else notice that our blog now features the most annoying banner ad ever? The one with the incessant beeping? Whoever created that one, and whoever then sold that one, THANKS!
