Booked your tickets yet?

Have a look at this —

Yes, I will be getting to see The Dark Knight tomorrow. After more than a year of hype, the movie was finally released on the 18th of this month (even here), and all the reviews I've read of it so far speak very, very highly of it. Can't wait to watch it, in glorious IMAX!

In other news, the first official trailer for Watchmen is out — and in the US, it would be attached with prints of The Dark Knight. I don't know whether it'll be shown in the theatre here, but it's possible to see the trailer already. This page at The Movie Blog has an embedded version of the trailer (low resolution), but if you really want to see all the detail in it, you should download the hi-def 720p version of the trailer. Of course, that file is a huge one — 100 MB for a trailer that's just a little over two minutes long. But you'll see detail here that you won't possibly be able to see in the low-res version — like Richard Nixon on the TV screens behind Ozymandias and the canister being used by Rorschach as a flamethrower with the Veidt logo. The trailer, needless to say, is fantastic.

Dark Fate 2 — a Doom II map by Karthik Abhiram

Dark Fate 2 is a singleplayer level for Doom II, replacing MAP01. It's a small-sized hellish level — and there's a walkthrough video as well.
