'The Dark Knight' Has Cooler Masks Than 'Face/Off'
Friday, June 6, 2008 at 12:29PM
I have just seen one of the greatest movie featurettes ever. Man, if the rest of
The Dark Knight is as good as this, the rest of
summer might as well give up.
And I say this with as little hyperbole as I can,
because I don't recall the last time three minutes on clown masks was so
arresting. I sift through probably ten or fifteen behind-the-scenes looks at
upcoming movies every week, and very rarely will I find one I want to be longer
or that I watch again. But this is something else entirely.
One note of caution: If you're one of those people that are
afraid of clowns, this might not be the easiest viewing for you. For the rest of
us, it's incredibly fascinating, and then when you consider what a small sliver
of The Dark Knight this will actually be, you begin to wonder if this
much time, thought, and preparation was spent on every facet of the movie. Now
there's a prospect.
