Some people think that writers who refer to themselves in the third person cannot write anything worth reading.

Gregg Easterbrook, “the Tuesday Morning Quarterback”, has done little to prove them wrong:

“The Dark Knight” — TMQ’s nominee for the worst motion picture ever made — used Chicago for its location shots of Gotham City. The 2012 sequel, “The Dark Knight Rises” — I am guessing Warner Brothers won’t invite me to a preview — uses Pittsburgh and New York to stand in for Gotham. Two American cities couldn’t be more different physically than pancake-flat Manhattan and hilly Pittsburgh. But hey, it’s a movie.

You’re right, it is a movie. What the hell do you think? Stop production — Pittsburgh and Manhattan look different! Now they have to go back, pick one and shoot the entire movie there. Thanks Gregg, you’ve saved Warner Bros. millions of dollars with your brilliance. Not to mention embarrassment when savvy moviegoers like yourself point out that in different shots, THE CITY LOOKS DIFFERENT!

Look dipshit, if they were truly going for realism, they’d build a fucking city and call it Gotham. What a douche.
