[CuckingFunt]

White guilt accomplishes nothing.


If Mexican's owned slaves( with a couple exceptions) to the extent of whites, there would never be such thing as Brown guilt. We're way too prideful.


White people, just because blacks can use the N word, doesn't give you the right to act self righteous about being offended for blacks using the N word. You can never be offended, you could never understand the grasp of that word.

If Black people want to use the N word, it's their right. They are owners of the word, and they may keep it around or sink it at the bottom of the sea.


N*gger does not equate to Honky, as far as vulgarity goes.

I'm going to watch it at least 10 times before it's all said and done.

I'm def going to see it again before it leaves the theaters. Twice will most likely be my limit though. It will be after I see the X-Files though...

[Mister Sinister]

I'll probably see it again tomorrow. :lmao Possibly more than once, since today is payday, and I have tomorrow off.

[JoeChalupa]

No way I'd pay twice to see ANY movie at the theatre. They are already over priced as it is. I'll wait for the DVD.

[dirk4mvp]

I saw it for the 3rd time last night. Just keeps getting better and better.

[midgetonadonkey]

This will be the first blu-ray movie I purchase.

[G-Nob]

I have to say one of the coolest parts of this movie is the scene where they transport Dent to county lockup. The opening scene showing the fire truck on fire to the end is, to me, the highlight of the film.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I could be wrong but it was never shown that Twoface was dead. The next movie could easily be him recuperating, then escaping, all the while Batman is 'on the run'.

[G-Nob]

You'd assume the tribute to him Gordon spoke at(at the end of the movie) was his wake. I don't think Nolan would carry him over to the third film. It'll be a fresh storyline.

[angelbelow]

ive watched it twice, once at the theater and once at the IMAX. i highly recommend the IMAX.

[alamo50]

I wasn´t expecting it to be this good.
I am still thinking about it since I got out of the theater Sunday.
Very impressive.

I'm thinking the same thing.

Two-Face's storyline is pretty much done, in my opinion.

I think, if Nolan should decide to do another movie, he'll go in a direction without Two Face.

The one thing that has been constant in both of Nolan's Batman films is the crime syndicate. Falcone had a big enough role in the first film and Maroni palyed an important enough role in the second.

I'm thinking Nolan's going to go the crime syndicate route again, but this time he might be using Black Mask. Roman Sionis (Black Mask) was actually born into an elite wealthy family but turned to crime when he lost his parents company to Burce Wayne.

I think that's the only plausible, realistic option for Nolan.

But, I could be wrong.

I'm still assuming that Ledger isn't really dead and that this was an elaborate marketing scheme. So the third one will deal again with the Joker.

Read my mind on the Black Mask thing. The other reason I want to see him is because of War Games and No Man's Land, especially the former.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Didn't Aaron Eckhardt already say he'd be more than happy to return for a third film?

[G-Nob]

Did anyone pick up the "cat" reference made by Lucious? When he was showing Wayne his new batsuit, Lucious said "it could help against cats."
Do you think the Nolans were setting the table for catwoman?

I don't see Catwoman as being Nolan's type of storyline.

I don't know, but honestly, I was so worn out on his character by the end of the film. He was such an instrumental influence on the story that this was his film just as much as it was Bale and Ledger's. If there is a 3rd film, I think Scarecrow would be the only carry over since he is the head doc of Arkham.

In the Detective Comics, Dr. Crane(aka Scarecrow) was always finnding ways of letting criminals out of Arkham. That's how all the bad guys kept coming back. That's why I mentioned Scarecrow might make another cameo.

There's no way that Crane will be made into the head of Arkham now.

I've paid to see TDK four times (three in regular theater, one in IMAX) and have probably seen it another 18 times via this near DVD-level quality bootleg I downloaded from the internet.

He was in there because Nolan needed to marginalize his character.

If you noticed, Scarecrow was with his "crew" trying to help Batman fight crime. He had a couple of guys in Batman outfits trying to bring down those criminals until it all went wrong and Batman actually saved their asses.

Later on in the movie, they showed that those same guys were killed by the crime families.

But, you never know, you may be right.

I'll take you up on the bet, though.

Um, I don't think the copy cats were with the Scarecrow. I think it was a drug deal he was meeting with when the copy cats showed up. Thats why one of the copy cats tried to grab the Scarecrow at the van and he turned around and sprayed his face with that stuff. After Batman crushed his van, he lined em all up for the cops.

[slayermin]

I was blown away. Incredible movie. I don't think it was perfect but damn close.

The only problem I had with the film was Christian Bale. I am a huge fan of his work but I thought his performance was lacking. With the tour de forces that Ledger and Eckhart brought to the table, Bale didn't match them, imo.

Ledger absolutely deserves a posthumous oscar. When he told Batman that he completed him, I flipped out. His performance was absolutely haunting. Watching him brought back memories of the first time I saw Michael Rooker in "Henry: Portrait of Serial Killer."

Nolan is a phenomenal filmmaker. You hand him a huge budget and you are going to get something special. If you haven't seen his film "The Following," I highly recommend it.

[blizz]

just saw this movie yesterday and i gotta say...it fucking blows.........














every other movie i've seen this year away!!

[Brutalis]

Finally saw it last night.

It was good... but not great. 3/5

They kept calling him "The Batman".. mmmmk. And the Bale dude that played Batman sucked. Other than that it was great. Don't understand why Heath got all fucked up over this part though.

[blizz]

the ONLY thing i didn't like was the way he changed his voice in the batman role...BUT i understand why. the mangasm parts for me were:
- the jet flew over and snagged him and the chinese dude
- the motorcycle thing
- when the 18 wheeler flipped over
i don't understand the hate for maggie gyllenhaal....i thought she did so much better than katie holmes could EVER do....and while she's not as hot as katie once was...she's not all that bad...at all. my jaw dropped though when....you know.

[G-Nob]

To me, this movie saved this summer. Its been kind of a weak summer for movies with the exception of Wall-E. Seriously, its felt more like an event than anything else.

When I first sat down I had so many mixed emotions. The excitement of a new batman movie, all the actors I admire, ledger's death along with leadger's perfomance. It was really hard to absorb everything. Then you get locked into the story. With all of these elements, its no surprise its making so much cash. Not even factoring in all the comic-con fanboys out there and their repeat business.

Cape Fear, which is I'm watching right now, is a better movie IMO.

[Gunnery Sgt Hartman]

Private Peewee, if you see this fucking movie one more time, then you had best square your ass away and start shitting me Tiffany cufflinks or I will definitely fuck you up!!

[slayermin]

Ah, Mark Hamill. No doubting he is the one true voice of the Joker. But when I think of Mark Hamill, I always think back to that line in the Family Guy Star Wars spoof where Peter is Han Solo and says "I'm the only actor who's career isn't destroyed by this movie!" Subtle punch in the gut to Hamill there.

Corvette Summer ruled.

NPR.org, August 7, 2008 · Are some stage and screen projects cursed?

Lately the question has come up around the new Batman movie. Several observers point out — in the London Telegraph, on the Gawker Web site and other places — that The Dark Knight seems blighted.

Evidence: Star-on-the-rise Heath Ledger, who portrays The Joker, died of an overdose of prescription drugs in January. Christian Bale, who plays Batman, was arrested on assault charges after a dust-up with his mother and sister around the time of the film's premiere in London.

And there's more. This week, Morgan Freeman, who plays Bruce Wayne's friend Lucius Fox, was seriously injured in an accident in Mississippi. A special effects technician was killed in a truck accident in September. There were also weirdnesses on the set, according to the Internet Movie Database, including a mysterious fire and a planned explosion that frightened unknowing Londoners.

Other Cinema Curses

Gawker reminds us of the troubles surrounding the three-part Poltergeist series, which began with the 1982 Steven Spielberg blockbuster. Several cast members died — including 12-year-old Heather O'Rourke in 1988 and 22-year-old Dominique Dunne in 1982 — while the sequels were being produced. There were rumors of a real exorcism during one of the filmings and spooky shenanigans on the sets.

Through the years there have been other supposedly cursed films, including Rebel Without a Cause, The Exorcist and The Crow.

The 'Macbeth' Hex

Superstition surrounding stagecraft stretches back before Hollywood. Perhaps the most famous is the curse of Macbeth. For centuries, productions of the play have brought toil and trouble to those involved.

In fact, many thespians won't even say the name, referring to it only as "the Scottish play."

The stigma may stem from the fact that Shakespeare purportedly used real witch incantations in his script and real witches, in turn, put a spell on the play. The Straight Dope Web site lifts the curse up to scrutiny. Some incidents:

• In 1672, the actor portraying Macbeth thrust a real dagger into the actor playing Duncan. And killed him.

• In 1942, during a production starring Sir John Gielgud, two actresses who played witches and the actor playing Duncan died, and the set designer committed suicide.

• In 2001, while the Cambridge Shakespeare Company was staging the play, Lady Macbeth hurt her head, Macduff hurt his back, another actor broke a toe and a pair of cedar trees representing Birnam Wood crashed down on the set.

Back to the jinx on Batman. On the upside, The Dark Knight set a record for the largest opening-day box-office gross — $66.4 million. But still, Michael Caine — who has played in Hamlet and both the Christian Bale Batman movies — might think twice before signing up to play the Thane of Cawdor.

So I was reading a few things and I got to thinking:

Superman Returns was an OK movie, not as Good as BB or TDK (Both DC guys)...

I wonder how a Superman movie with Christian Bale and Chris Nolan would turn out?

I am to this very hour more pissed about Superman Returns than any other movie that's come out in the past decade. It was the biggest piece of shit, with the most the unfulfilled potential for awesomeness, to ever come out of the comic genre IMO. An outright embarrasment and shame on every level imaginable.

But I like your Bale idea, (not so big on Nolan, but that's okay) because basically, a good Superman movie is what I wanted and still want to see more than any other. The studio should just do like The Incredible Hulk and shoot another Superman as if the one that came out a couple years back never even existed.

Have you seen any other Chris Nolan movies? His brother is a pretty good writer as well and was on TDK, Prestige, and Memento...

I've seen Memento... Pretty good. To be honest, I'm not down with his work on BB and Dark Night. Any good, smart director could have created the same modern, dark and serious movies, only probably, they would've also known how to shoot an action scene.

Black Mask seems a popular option, and I know Oldman hinted at Riddler...

Just wondering.

Supposedly Johnny Depp is in negotiations to be the Riddler and Phillip Seymore Hoffman to be The Penguin.

[Trainwreck2100]

I doubt they've decided on the next bad guy yet, it took them forever to cast the Joker.

[GuerillaBlack]

Joker was decided as the next bad guy with Batman Begins, but didn't they cast Heath Ledger in 2006? That isn't too long after BB was released.

[GuerillaBlack]

Riddler basically confirmed as next main villain:

How real is that poster, and I got the DVD today and watched again, someone hinted at at the end of the movie, they put an eye twords the next movie or villain, ala Batman Begins. Rewatched and didn't see that.


Did they remove alot for Blu-Ray and DVD?


BTW I can't find any deleted scenes or anything, which is beyond bogus right now...

[T Park]

BTW, if that poster IS real, then you notice who writes the story about Harvey Dent, is Vicki Vale.

Don't know if she came from the comics, but I do believe she was the love intrest in the very first Batman movie...

What a horrible horrible money sucker upper.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e8/MaximumcarnageSNES_boxart.jpg

I played this game repeatedly back in 1994, i then bought it on SNES, became intrigued by this "Green Jello" band that was behind the Maximum Carnage Soundtrack, bought their cassette 333 (1st rock cassette I ever bought), and basically from there I became the metal-head, low life, degenerate listening son of mammon I am today.


Green Jello's 333 made me who I am. And I still have that album on my mp3 player to this day.

I'll never forget when I took the plastic wrap off the cassette as my mother drove us home, I read the liner notes, became intrigued by a band that had a mythology behind it (Green Jelly was heavily influenced by Gwar..), popped it in my jam box, was insanely dissapointed 9 seconds into the first track, then a shot of adrenaline changed my life forever about 12 seconds into Carnage Rules. About at the time when Moronic Dictator shouts, "CARRRRRRRRNAAAAAAAAGE RUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLESSSSSSSSS!!!"

I still want to kick my own ass for not seeing them on their reunion tour a few months ago.


I think by the time I bought this cartridge at Toys R Us (which is now a Buffalo Wild Wings...) it cost 20 bucks, which was insanely INSAAAAANELY cheap for an SNES game, especially considering it was still relatively new. I used birthday money to buy Maximum Carnage and another game, both of which were on clearance for the holidays. I can't remember what hte other game I bought was, but together the cost was less than 50 bones. My Grandma almost kicked my ass for spending all the birthday money on two video games. Those were the fucking days.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I just looked through my SNES collection, the other game I bought was either Uniracers or Virtual Bart. ROFL.

There's a Captain America "cameo" in the alt opening of Hulk. It's on youtube and there's a few screenshots on random websites.

[balli]

When TDK first came out I was like: meh- not good, but not too bad.

Upon watching 2/3's of it again, I have to say this. TDK is up there as one of the most over-rated, dumb, incoherent, boring piece of shit, two and half hour films I've ever seen in my entire life. A heaping pile of steaming rodent shit that I could care less if I never see another sequel to. Fuck that movie right in the ear hole.

[ChumpDumper]

I liked it. The Joker is going to be a difficult act to follow, but Bale might be able to carry the next movie as the "bad" guy.

[BlackSwordsMan]

bale and his retarded deep voice is annoying

It makes me laugh because it reminds me of Bill Pullman in Independence Day.

I think Bale's Batman voice is more than a little over-the-top.

That being said, it's easily the largest complaint I have about Bale's performance or the new incarnation of the series in general. The Burton films are still my favorite, by far, but I've really enjoyed Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

yes. harvey dent/two-face is dead, as confirmed by christopher nolan.

[T Park]

Did anyone ask a follow up to as why he killed off Harvey Dent and didn't follow the Two Face saga?

[ATRAIN]

yes. harvey dent/two-face is dead, as confirmed by christopher nolan.

Did he just say Harvey Dent or did he say Harvey Dent and Two Faced is dead. I can see him saying just Dent is dead because what he stood for was killed by the Joker. If so I am glad I think we got everything we needed to get out of Two Face, I never liked that character anyways. So whats next Riddler or Penguin?

Might as well throw Leonardo Dicaprio and Joseph Gordon Levitt in there and we can have ourselves a crossover.

[MannyIsGod]

I like Tom Hardy. This will certainly get Cucking Funt's approval. I also like the Bane direction. Someone you haven't seen in any of the Batman movies so far.

I loved the scene soon after the magic trick between Gambol and Joker.

That movie doesn't exsist in my mind.

[redzero]

I actually can't think about Bane without thinking of that green thing from Batman & Robin. Goddammit.

How will Nolan salvage Bane?

I knew Bane would be in it !!!!

It makes sense, 3rd opus of a trilogy.

Bane's a somewhat disappointing choice. He doesn't offer much as a villain outside of brute strength. I thought they'd go with an unknown, like Hugo Strange or someone from the suicide squad. But I'm sure Nolan will make it interesting.

Plus, his presence doesnt rule out the possibility of having Hugo Strange

[Mister Sinister]

Very yes. IIRC, he deduced Batman = Bruce simply by photographic memory, and nothing else. Also, FUCK. YES. There is no image macro for how I am feeling.

[Mark in Austin]

I guess I was hoping Hardy was going to play Hugo Strange. He has the build to really imitate Bale's Batman and the acting chops to do so. Bane was a pretty one-note character in the comics, although it's been years since I read them so I could be wrong.

It will be interesting to see how Bane is integrated into the story - seems like a bit of a stretch at first glance.

If they were going to pull any aspects of the Knightfall storyline I would have thought Hardy would have made a good Azreal.

[JoeChalupa]

I'll be checking this one out.

[Death In June]

I'm still hoping they throw deadshot in there, going along with the whole 'being hunted down by the police' theme that was hinted at the end of the dark knight. I think it'd fit in with Nolans interpretation of the batman universe.

Tom Hardy will be able to bulk up just fine.

[Stringer_Bell]

I have no idea how Nolan can raise the end game to Dark Knight levels. Each movie the character needs to face more dangerous foes, and with Catslut and Bane I fear the Batman series will suffer from Karate Kid syndrome...

Karate Kid 1: Daniel fights bullies for his self-esteem, emotional security, and All Valley Championship.
Karate Kid 2: Daniel fights old Miyagi enemies for his life.
Karate Kid 3: Daniel fights 40 year old men stalking him because one of them had to file for Bankruptcy. (my personal favorite of the series, but whatever)

I'm keeping an open mind, but history doesn't lie about this shit. Be wary, my friends, be wary.

Now theres no doubt in my entire mind these new Nolan Batman's suck total asshole, and they're making all this money.....wonder what the over/under is for number of years til most people come to my side of the argument and flat out say that The Dark Knight sucked copious cock and so will this new one.

I think Hardy will have a harder time playing Bane than Hathaway will have playing Catwoman. It will be interesting to see Hardy play a South American. Bane is from South America and has a noticeable accent. And people need to get over this Anne Hathaway hate. People act like she's hideous looking and a horrible actress. The gal was excellent in Rachel Getting Married and got an Oscar nomination for it. At the end of the day, most guys on here would still bang her if they had the chance.

[redzero]

Taken from Wikipedia:

Bane is highly intelligent; in "Bane of the Demon", Ra's al Ghul says that Bane "has a mind equal to the greatest he has known."[7] In prison, he taught himself various scientific disciplines equal to the level of understanding of leading experts in those fields.[4] He knows six active languages and at least two additional arcane and dead ones, those mentioned are Spanish, English, Urdu, Persian, and Latin.[7] The "Bane of the Demon" storyline reveals that he has a photographic memory. Within one year, he is able to deduce Batman's secret identity.[7]
Although extremely dangerous at all times, Bane is perfectly sane and in control of his mind and actions—a trait that separates him from many of Batman's enemies. While he generally acts as a villain, Bane has worked alongside Batman at times and developed a great respect for the Dark Knight. He is also one of the few villains of Batman to have learned his true identity.
He is also highly devious and a superb strategist and tactician.[4] In prison, Bane also invented his own form of calisthenics, meditation, and a unique fighting style.[7] Usage of Venom enhances his physical abilities, including his strength, and healing process to superhuman levels.[5][32][33] Although Bane had sworn off using Venom in Vengeance of Bane II in 1995, and his character is actually written as having kept that promise to himself, it is still not uncommon for artists to draw Bane as still wearing the tube leading from his old wrist device to the back of his head. This is likely due to the illustrators only being familiar with that early version of Bane's visual appearance. Gail Simone recently explained these lapses in the continuity of Bane's appearance in the pages Secret Six where Deadshot remarked that Bane merely kept his old Venom equipment with him out of habit, even though he states that he would sooner die before using any of it again. Regardless, Bane is depicted as physically stronger than Batman with or without Venom.

He isn't one note. He isn't only muscle.

And Catwoman isn't much of a villain anymore, so that's probably why she hasn't been discussed much. It is obvious who the main villain will be, and it won't be Catwoman.

I am pro Hathaway in general. But for the love of god, she rode a dude's cock for like 20 minutes in that movie right out of the gates, she's been getting mad press for her movies cuz of her sexuality for some time now. Her performance in that movie was mad overrated.
In taht respect, I guess it's appropriate to cast her in this role, but the thing that lacks is the ass-kicking factor. I don't think anyone will take her seriously in that respect in this role.

Just my two cents. Doesn't really matter anyways, no matter who they cast or what they do this movie will chug cock.

I didn't mean she needs to be taken seriously, I meant she has to sell kicking ass. And she prob won't do that.

Uma Thurman sold kicking ass
Thats one quick example

Interested persons can disagree on any number of things where either side has a legitimate argument or rationale for why they might feel that way.

The Dark Knight is not one of those things. Anybody who still thinks that was a good movie is wrong. To put it kindly.

It's especially funny because it's poorly written and directed, pop shit, gussied up to make dumb people feel like they're watching something smart or meaningful. But they're not... And people who actually are smart, are laughing at them for thinking so.

This sentiment will explode exponentially in the years to come.

I'm sure you can throw a jab at Sarah Palin in there. I know the opportunity is too good to pass by for pseudo intellectuals such as yourself.

[lil'mo]

:lol No, because I know that the opinions of a bunch of internet tough guys who were picked on when they were in school, doesn't mean shit.

Pleased to see you have our picture saved on your hardrive as well :tu

Flattering indeed :lol

lol defensive teabagger. Doesn't surprise me, enjoyment of The Dark Knight probably correlates fairly closely with how much one is willing to suckle at the feet of retard reality star Palin.

[lil'mo]

oh yea we absolutely owned our high school btw, tbh :rollin

[redzero]

lol defensive teabagger.

lol thinking I'm a teabagger or even give a fuck about teabaggers.

people think angelina jolie is some sort of action star, but i just laugh when a woman punches a guy and knocks him out in movies :lol

[balli]

lol you brought it up.

Which is the only thing you can fall back on, because you know that you and your friends are lame, and that nobody will take you seriously once they see pics of you.

You are mentally weak, so how can you poke fun at anything :lol

1) You used your mind to decide to go see a terrible movie that was obvious to anyone that was not lacking mental fortitude was going to be terrible.

2) You walked out of it.

Mentally. Weak.

[redzero]

lol you brought it up.

I brought it up because you took did that in another topic. Do you want me to find the quote?

People like you hate Sarah Palin, yet can't resist bringing her up when given the chance.

[lil'mo]

yeah cause that's been the case ever since it was first posted! :lmao

you so bad, post a picture of yourself so we can all laugh you off the site :rollin

[DPG21920]

They don't sell kicking arse either imo.

Uma sold cool and style, but I didn't buy for one second that you couldn't wreck her if push came to shove and if it was socially acceptable.

Again, you're confused. You think anybody takes what you post seriously, when nobody doesn't.

You don't get to make fun of people. That's like a pot calling a kettle black.

[DPG21920]

Exactly. I'm not saying I can't watch it; but it is one of those things that can only detract from a movie, not add to it for me.

[redzero]

lol.

Goodnight, retard teabagger.

:lol

Maybe if you keep calling me a teabagger, it will become true. The funny thing is that Sarah Palin's on your mind all the time, even though you hate her.

[lil'mo]

AAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHAHAHAAAHAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA Thanks man, your double negative is in agreement with me. I think this ends the argument. I win again and you walk away a loser. Thanks for playing, pretty bold of you to go up against a superior opponent such as myself.

[DPG21920]

Given, I don't hang around the Club to often, but is Balli this ridiculous all the time?

Guy is teetering on the edge of Twilight if you know what I mean.

WTF?
Are you kidding? We're talking about them selling the audience about their role. If a chick plays a pair of hot tits and flashes her hot tits, she did a good job. But we're talking about an action movie here.

Moreover, we're talking about an action movie based on superheroes that is "critically acclaimed" and "ground breaking" and "amazing" not to mention all that bull shit PeeWee's LoveChild said about this lump of crap back in the day.

Now you're slighting and belittling Nolan's artistic integrity by saying not only is Hathaway expected not to kick ass, but women never sell kicking ass in their action roles?

Nolan Batman lovers can't have it both ways. If he's this unique intelligent director that's successfully revitalizing the batman franchise, then Catwomen is NOT expected to just be a pair of hot tits.

To my point about Uma though, you're wrong. She sold kicking ass in spades. And yes, people took her character in that movie, the way it was portrayed as legit. DPG noone's saying they expect Uma to kill 1000 japanese people with a sword in real life. But she "sold" the character to the audience via Tarentino's vision.

You're making it sound like we have to take any women in an action role as "can she really kick my ass?" in which case remind yourself we're talking about a movie based on costumed, crime-fighting super heroes.

Thanks a lot for proving my point, internet tough guy.

And I think there should be a new sentence after "thanks for playing." The least you could do is add a hyphen.
