This weekend’s three wide-release newbies (‘Smurfs,’ ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer,’ and ‘Eddington’) certainly qualify as “variety at the multiplex.”
I always interpreted the Dark Knight as explicitly pro surveillance state since Batman’s use of it works and he responsibly gives it to Lucius to destroy. It kind of relates back to the “the Greeks had to choose a tyrant in times of crisis to get the job done” line from Dent. When the joker terrorism is bad enough, then Batman’s justified going full patriot act.
Hmmm this actually sounds like an aster movie with a plot. I think I’ll give it a shot.
