News Item: "The Dark Knight" earns $155 million, breaking weekend box office record
I'm not one to care a great deal about the box office, aside from rooting for movies, directors and actors I like to do well. But I'm happy about the "Dark Knight" record, mostly because the previous record holder, "Spider-man 3," was a wretched, awful film, and "Dark Knight" is a great one.

Posted by: patrick at July 21, 2008 05:33 PMYeah, but I really hope they don't make the mistake of rushing a sequel, a la The Matrix or Pirates of the Caribbean. I'd prefer to wait years for a good film than see a crappy one sixth months from now.
I'm so glad for Nolan; I knew he had promise from the start after watching Following almost ten years ago. Seeing him hit it this big is beyond a pleasure.
