--- Quote from: Mandy21 on July 25, 2008, 10:53:54 am ---I saw TDK on Monday morning, and yes, the death stuff was hard to take. Like you, Amanda, I was a bit surprised that they left those scenes in. After having seen it only once, I've yet to decide if those scenes were so integral, that they couldn't have been left out, even for respect for Heath's memory. I was in tears; thankfully, I was in the back row, and managed to keep it pretty quiet. But in tears, nevertheless. When you think about it, though, pretty much every movie Heath ever made involved either his character dying, or coming very close to death. The Patriot, Monster's Ball, Four Feathers, Ned Kelly, Brothers Grimm, etc. They're all much harder to watch post-Jan 22 than they were before. I've not decided if I'll see TDK again or not. To me, the only part of that very long movie that I found enjoyable were the scenes with The Joker. Gave me goosebumps, in a good way, every time he came on screen. I thought Heath's was a masterful performance, but that it was rather wasted in a film I found to be quite unspectacular. Just my opinion. Perhaps I've just seen one too many comic-book movies. :-\

I can't remember if I said this or not, but I am going to try and go see it a 2nd time (I think) at IMAX purely so I can see Heath up on the IMAX screen. (I saw it at a regular theater.)

BODY BAG SCENE? What? Did I miss something? He didn't die in my version! ???
Mandy21:
Um, are you kidding, Snork? Unless you saw a diff version than the rest of the world, there was def a body bag scene with the Joker emerging from it. Hmm, come to think of it, there were probably quite a few body bag scenes, in the wake of all that darkness and destruction. We just didn't get to see them quite as clearly as the one with Heath in it. Ouch...
mvansand76:
Oh yes, THAT scene, sorry, I should probably READ things thoroughly before replying. I should know better.
*scurries back into her corner*
But the Joker doesn't die in your version does he?
Your version. LOL. We have a Dutch version in which you can see him smoke pot.
