Recent trailer for "The Dark Knight"

I downloaded a high-quality version of a new trailer for "The Dark Knight". I uploaded it to YouTube just to make sure everyone had access to it. I love the Batman franchise, except for the Joel Schumacher movies ("Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin"), which were awful. The first two Batman movies were great because Tim Burton directed them, and he always has a quirky, whimsical vision when he makes movies. They were also very dark, unlike the Joel Schumacher movies which had the color setting turned way too high.

When Christopher Nolan took over the Batman franchise with "Batman Begins", he restored Batman's dark personality. "Batman Begins" was everything a Batman movie should be, and it was even better in some ways than the Tim Burton versions. Christopher Nolan (who also wrote and directed the amazing movie, "Memento") now brings us "The Dark Knight", which promises an amazing performance from Heath Ledger, which I have actually seen 6 minutes of (when the beginning of the movie was leaked onto YouTube).

You can watch the normal YouTube video of the trailer, or you can go to the YouTube page of the video and click on "watch in high quality" to see a better version of the video.

The movie stars Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, and Aaron Eckhart, and it comes out on July 18th.

I have been wanting to listen to my Benny Benassi(Hypnotica) CD lately. My favorite song on the album is "Love Is Gonna Save Us". The song is romantic and sad at the same time, and it has this part that I call the "wind" part that is just perfect. For some reason, I thought the song would fit with the movie, "Edward Scissorhands".

05 Love Is Gonna Save Us

My second favorite song on the album is probably "Time", and I thought a scene from the 1980 Christopher Reeve movie, " Somewhere in Time", could best sum up the concept of time(his best movie besides the first Superman).

09 Time

While I was searching for my Benny Benassi CD, I came across one of my Tarkan CDs, and I thought, "Oh, I need to revisit Tarkan". Therefore, to be completely random, here are my three favorite songs from Turkey's own Tarkan(from his self-titled album) ...

Tarkan - Simarik

11 Simarik

Tarkan

Tarkan - Ölürüm Sana

02 Ölürüm Sana

Tarkan

and Tarkan - Sikidim (Hepsi Senin Mi?)

04 Sikidim (Hepsi Senin Mi?)

Tarkan

Finally, here is a short clip of what XR2 is supposed to sound like on M.I.A.'s next album, Kala. I don't know how correct this is, but the quality sounds better than all the other versions that I have of XR2 ...

10 XR2

M.I.A.

That is the fake cover of Kala that some fan made, and I got it from http://miafans.co.uk, of course.

Here is an image of M.I.A. on the cover of URB that I also got from that message board ...

Oh wait, I thought of one more thing ...

I really hope Rob Zombie's version of Halloween(probably my favorite movie ... ever ... ok, one of many I guess) turns out to be good.
