I found myself with an unplanned day off from work today, & seeing as my wife was working, I decided to watch 'The Dark Knight' (on my Xmas Blu-ray Disc).
Having said that, it got me thinking about a couple of obscurish props, & I'd like a consensus from the interested (should there be any) members of the site, with a question I have about one of them. (& I think that sentence may be a lot more complicated than it needed to be, but there it is)
I was initially going for a couple of screencaps for my YourProps page, since I recently acquired a couple of vintage Lancashire vegetable peelers [in the appropriate color].
Anyway, when it got to the morbidly hilarious "pencil trick" scene, I watched it frame-by-frame a few times. After some forum searching, it appears the general opinion of the collective is that the pencil is a "natural" finish, with silver (or bare metal color) ferrule, & white eraser. My question now is, how did everyone come to that conclusion; is it by screencaps alone, or does someone have a hi-res production still (or the screen-used pencil, for that matter)?
Here are the clearest screencaps I have from that scene:
To ME, the pencil looks more like this (not specifically this pencil, but one of a similar design):
So, what say you? Anyone got any thoughts, opinions, empirical proof, etc?
P.S. And in case anyone is interested, the peeler seller has 3 more like the 2 I bought, & they're hella-cheap. PM me for info...
"And herrre - - - we - - - go..."
