SMAC - SHOWS, MOVIES & CHICKS

Director KEVIN SMITH (of CHASING AMY, CLERKS and soon ZAK & MIRI MAKE A PORNO fame) saw a screening of THE DARK KNIGHT and shares his thoughts in his Blog. Here is what he wrote:

"Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that's not an overstatement). It's the "Godfather II" of comic book films and three times more earnest than "Batman Begins" (and fuck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn't so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but he'll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor. Fucking flick's nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can't imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece."

If this doesn't add fuel to the hype, than I don't know. Can't wait for this one!
