But I have removed it now so you won't have to see it again.

Hi Mikaela,
I really appreciate your sensitivity to this. It's really very sweet of you. But, you really don't need to change your post on my account.
I'm sure all of use respond to parodies of BBM (then, now and in general) and to the whole Heath/ TDK situation very differently. I just felt the urge earlier to explain how I feel about it.
Your point is well taken that the parodies do tend to prove how much BBM has become part of the cultural fabric in lots of ways. They're usually things that I personally don't respond very well to though.

Hi Mikaela, I'm glad that Amanda had the nerve to speak out about this. I saw that poster this morning, and wanted to vomit. You say you have removed it, but it's still there. I really wish you could do something to make it go away please.
It's ridiculous to associate anything about the beauty of BBM that we all treasure, every glance and touch and look, and the beauty of the moment that became the BBM poster, with ANYTHING else, anything at all.
Regardless of the current success of TDK, I have a lot of trouble believing that thousands of people are still going to be discussing and debating it on a daily basis three years from now, like they still will be with BBM.
I'm going to have nightmares about that poster tonight. I have to say it's the only blasphemous thing I've seen posted on this website in the 6 months I've been a member of the BetterMost community. I'd be really, really happy never to see it again. Thank you.

Today I went to a matinee of "The Dark Knight".
Heath was amazing, as were all the major players. What a movie!!
I'm going to have to watch it again, and no doubt, buy the DVD when it's out.
For one thing -- I rarely get everything the first time! The other--at the end when Commissioner Gordon was talking to his son as Batman was riding away, the music was so LOUD that I hardly heard a word he said. I'm sure it was pretty important to the ending.
I loved it. So happy to see it on the big screen, too.

It's a weird experience, watching a new fandom going gloriously full blast, in those early stages where everything is so overwhelming and everyone are having so much fun. Even though I haven't seen the film yet, I've been sitting there LOL'ing and grinning and just generally shaking my head. So much creativity... so much amazing fangirlishness/fanboyness - for the film and some of the actors - mainly Heath and CB, - so many wonderful swoony pictures, so much general craziness, so many funny fandom injokes, so much utter irreverence.... I won't even get into what they've dubbed Heath by now. But I can't help just laughing, and I think Heath would have done so, too.
And so many spoilers, by means of clips, mostly. Joker clips. I bet I must soon have seen the entire Joker part of the film, just from clips. I've certainly seen that whole pencil incident by now. And it's strange to see that Heath finally has made it with the fanboy crowd - noe they're posting all the images that have ever been seen over here at the HHH thread... and oooh'ing and aaaah'iing and swooning mightily.
But anyway, they're taking every possible pop culture reference and actor gossip tidbit and running with it, using all their photoshopping skills in the process, and it was when I saw this one that I knew I had to come back here and post.

Mikaela, I can't see the image. Could you maybe post the link to the website?

Yes, since I'm going to be watching TDK next week, I want to prepare myself. I'd love to have the link too.
Elle, the website you posted detailling all the violent scenes (THAT many? :o) was really helpful. Thanks!
