It was a slow week last time and a slow weekend, hence I didn't post anything.  But yesterday, when I saw this, I just had to write about it —

Above is the first official poster for The Dark Knight (which is a sequel to Batman Begins), and as you can make out, it is awesome!  I love the way they represented both the Joker (black disfigured eyes, blood red lips) and the Batman (the symbol) in one image.  A large version of the poster is available at the Why so serious viral site, but it isn't on the main page, rather, it is at this link (I saw this through this article at JoBlo).  You'll also notice one more thing if you go to that page — there is a super-large version of the poster available for download.  It is actually pretty scary because that is a 100 MB JPEG file (at 300 dpi and 7517 × 11136 resolution, which means you can print a full-size movie poster out of it).  I downloaded the 100 MB version too just out of curiosity, and checked out the file properties (and EXIF Info) in IrfanView —

It took several minutes to open the file on my computer, and the small image I posted above is actually a resized version from the 100 MB image (the resizing took some 20 minutes I think... the image properties picture above was taken after resizing).  It must be said that the studio is doing a fantastic job marketing this movie.  They started with the publicity months before, and things will only get better as the release date for the movie (May 2008) approaches.

In other news, Varun added an RSS feed to his site too (I hope my article was helpful in some way!), and he's also posted three nice desktop wallpapers at his blog.

I recently watched a few movies, including Southland Tales and the DVD of Athadu.  Also downloaded The Limitless Potential (which is an open-source remix album of Nine Inch Nails songs).
