"People are always asking me if I know Tyler Durden"

Tyler Durden & The Narrator (played by Edward Norton)


I hnva't seen "Fihgt Culb" in a lnog tmie, but I tuhgoht it was a good sugtesgion to do Pnux bsaed on it. The mvoie was a rael mnid-benedr (jsut lkie tihs pagrparah) and ptetry cool, so it was fun to do tehse guys. I lkie Edward Norton in prtety mcuh evriethyng I see him in, and Brad Pitt is a tanleted guy as wlel.

Anwyay, I hpoe you can tralnsate tehse wrods. Thnkas for vitsiing and I'll let you all get yuor haeds strigaht now.

Wax on, Wax off.

Mr. Miyagi, Daniel Larusso


The Karate Kid is so quintessentially 80's to me. As a grade school kid I had a great time watching it. How could you not love Pat Morita? And I fondly remember that Glory of Love song by Peter Cetera.

It will be interesting to see what they do with this new Karate Kid featuring Jackie Chan and "Will Smith Jr".

Christopher Nolan Bat-Week Day 7

Two-Face



I wasn't sure how Harvey Dent's scarred face would look, having this vengeful Two-Face persona emerge through the disfigurement, while keeping the look grounded in reality (i.e. no classic comic book 'green half' look). Two-Face turned out terrifyingly tragic - more Nolan magic.

Christopher Nolan Bat-Week Day 6

Harvey Dent


Before The Dark Knight, I had only seen Aaron Eckhart in "Thank You For Smoking", a movie I found pretty clever. I thought he played Harvey Dent intelligently as well though. With a character like Dent and the transformation the character goes through, it would be quite easy for the actor to go overboard and ham it up in a cartoony way. Thankfully Eckhart approached it in the right way instead.

Christopher Nolan Bat-Week Day 5

Batman (Begins & TDK)

Yeah, the Bat-suits in Nolan's movies are a departure from the comic look for sure, but they make perfect sense for the world they exist in, and they do look pretty cool at night.

Nurse Joker


What can I say - what a cool scene that was in TDK. Delightfully twisted.

Christopher Nolan Bat-Week Day 3

Scarecrow



Scarecrow in the Batman Begins and TDK is a bit of a departure from the comic version visually, but within the world Nolan has created with his Bat-movies, it makes perfect sense to me.

Plus, Cillian Murphy can play 'creepy guy' really well.
