Oh brother. All 4 of those films are better than The Dark Knight. Doubt and Revolutionary Road should be nominated.

Okay, seriously. Who do we all think we are? Yes it was a summer popcorn flick. No, it isn't the type of stuck up artsy **** that gets nominated year after year, but it IS one of the best movies in recent years. Yes, YEARS. I'm not even saying it should win. Slumdog Millionaire is my pick for best of 2008, but The Dark Knight deserves a nomination. Because, yes, they are in fact ALL good movies.
We'll just have to wait and see...
