Which I saw at the Belfast press preview last night. When I got home, it was near midnight, and the Maestro and I were due to record our thoughts. But sadly the power grid in Paraguay had been de-activated to save energy in advance of this weekend’s national ‘Herbie Goes Bananas’ 28th anniversary fiesta, and so my genial co-host was unable to make himself heard. We shall, in due course return to the sixth Batman film in nineteen years, but for now, here are the words and phrases that came to mind as I watched ‘The Dark Knight’, and which I wrote down on the back of an envelope (literally) in prepping my part of the show that never was
Scape-goating
‘Heat’ and ‘Reservoir Dogs’
Brutality
Not cathartic
No music
Great production design
Heath caricature
One of the most believably redemptive acts in blockbuster cinema
Will be a great comfort to George W Bush in his retirement
We’ll surely expand on these thoughts, Dear Listener, and more, when the dynamo gets up and running again in Asuncion.
