The Dark Knight Should Stick To Unviral Marketing

In all the excitement over The Dark Knight have you thought "I wish they would make a dry parody of a 20/20 style profile piece on Bruce Wayne that was neither funny, interesting, nor insightful, and I wish it would be nine minutes long"?

(via /Film)

"But we're talking about stealth rotor blades, where is the practical use in that?" You can always count on Lydia Filangeri to ask the tough questions. Woof this video. Someone is getting a C- on their senior thesis at the Ashanti School of Parody. It's funny how The Dark Knight would do just fine with regular marketing, but some skinny guy in too-angular glasses and a QR code t-shirt who had a del.icio.us account before anybody was like "no man, you gotta go viral," so now we have to deal with the disappointment of this shit when all we wanted was to be so pumped.

UNSUBSCRIBE.

I'm kind of embarrassed, but I actually liked it. Nice job of catching people up on the storyline of the first film and just enough teaser for the next.
