Does anyone know what is the song playing right now (July 2009) during HBO Summer 2009 previews (including the Dark Knight and at the end, the Joker claps his hands in sync with the song)?

i can’t think of many movies off the top of my head that lived up to the initial hype when it first came out. everyone complains how all these movies coming out are disappointing. this was one that did not disappoint. that’s why it gets so much praise.

I thought the move was great, but I definitely agree that it gets too much praise.

[...] Dark Knight is getting its HBO premiere this Saturday with much anticipation. Screen Rant points us to this clever TV spot featuring music by “The Pixies.” For non Blu-Ray [...]

Matt speaks the truth!
And to add, this is something more akin to what MTV does for their Movie Award shows when announcing nominees.

Too bad the movie is massively overrated and way too long. You have fun with that.

Personally I love how they made it look like Fight Club – very clever.

Sorry to say that the promo didn’t do much for me. It was all right at best. Of course, I’ve always been a bigger fan of score music versus rock ‘n roll.

Actually, that Pixie’s tune would be better suited for a Hangover commercial if you really think about it.

That was great! I am imagining someone let the editor at HBO have a lot of fun with that. Kudos to them!

This is why HBO is the best pay cable network out there. They know exactly what they are doing and sometimes even better than the movie studios.
