Oh yeah, Penn & Teller. Everyone in the UK has heard of them. In fact, some of us grew up watching them on UK TV in the 90s because hardly anyone mainstream in the US would touch them. WE practically introduced them to the world. They still do shows over here these days too.

And BDA, that is not exactly what Faldor meant, if you watched the film, you would know

I think Elysium is coming out on DVD soon. My one and only regret is that I won't be on the couch for that episode. I would annihilate that movie with the unending fury of a thousand supernovas.

True, it was one of the very few movies this year that I allowed myself to look forward to.  And there was so much about it that was great...

but....

Is The Dark Knight Rises included in that lineup? I'd be really curious to hear your guys' thoughts on how it holds up.

I can quibble about the fridge stuff in between viewings, but in the three times I've watched it I've been engrossed every time. It's still no Dark Knight, but it blows Begins out of the water.

For me, I think I will always have a soft spot for Batman Begins, simply because I like the "becoming" aspects of Batman. Dark Knight is fantastic, for the most part, but I like seeing Bruce's struggle for identity in BB.

Also, while Heath Ledger's Joker is fantastic, I don't find his motivation all that compelling, while I find Rhas al Ghul's more interesting. Not to sound contrary, but I think BB has some good material in it and is often overshadowed simply because of Dark Knight.
