  1. So wait, they won the case? I heard WB wanted to cut the running time down... so if Fox does own movie rights then hopefully they don't make that mistake as well.
  2. The Brothers Solomon. Most of it is pure comic genius, some of it is repetitive and annoying. Still, definitely worth a watch.
  3. It really depends on who's writing for the Joker, but otherwise I'm going to say comics Joker is the most interesting and entertaining. Unfortunately some writers completely miss the point of the character and use him as just some cliche murderous freak like we see in horror movies, and sometimes he has some awkward plan and it all just feels so silly and campy. In movies, Heath Ledger's performance combined with the writing was hands down the greatest. He was definitely handled the way he has been in past comics. And though the look wasn't so comic-booky, I feel it added some sort of realism to the character making him seem so much more plausible to exist (though I'm sure we can all agree he did a lot of things that seem pretty impossible). I took my dad to see the movie, and we discussed, and he had told me that Jack Nicholson's character was all hype since nothing like that had been done in film before, but in the end it was just silly and the character had no true depth and wasn't anywhere near as haunting as Ledger's. He just wasn't written well, and definitely didn't go out with a bang. Ledger's spewed irony and dark humor as the character should. Cartoon Joker was handled just as well! I love the way he was written, I just can't stand Luke Skywalker's voice, really. It's not at all what I would imagine and just annoys me. 'This guy goes into the hospital, okay?... his wife's just had a baby and he can't wait to see them both. And the doctor smiles and says, "They're fine. Just fine. Your wife's delivered a healthy baby boy and they're both in tip-top form." "You're one lucky guy." So the guy rushes into the maternity ward with his flowers. But it's empty. His wife's bed is empty. "Doc?" He says and turns around and the doctor and all the nurses wave their arms and scream in his face. "APRIL FOOL! YOUR WIFE'S DEAD AND THE BABY'S A SPASTIC!!" Get it?' That still gives me the creeps.
  4. Last movies I saw: Sinbad (the cartoon). I really enjoyed it, actually. Pretty action packed, mildly amusing, and the villain was just brilliant. Nightmare Before Christmas. It never gets old to me. Best part about it is that my nephew loves watching it with me. He's two.
  5. This is starting to get like a murder-mystery but with less sexy women.
  6. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA oh schnap
  7. I think I just got Rickrolled by the bible. Srsly. That was the only thing that didn't irritate me hahaha
  8. Surprisingly this movie was pretty good. Best horror movie that's come out recently.
  9. First movie I saw was actually a Showtime film called Our Fathers. It's about the Roman Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal and boy... for one of those "made for TV" type of movies it was pretty good. Of course, you also have to take it for what it is. I honestly hated the actors portraying the priests (that's how great [though simple] a job the actors did), but somehow felt disconnected with the actors portraying the adults that were molested/raped as children. And the kids did an amazing job on the flashback scenes. I'd probably give it a 6 or 7. Afterwards I watched Mr. Woodcock. What a waste of time. I probably chuckled a few times and was waiting the rest of the time for the movie to pick up. After introducing every character you pretty much figure out what's going to happen... I mean, it's a film with Billy Bob Thornton. Seriously. He's like the same exact character in every movie, just in this one they give him the whole compassion bit like they did in Bad Santa. Bad News Bears doesn't count, I hated that movie and wish they never touched it. 4
  10. Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind Amazing. Seriously.
  11. Because it gets irritating and boring after a while. There's no beauty to its flow. Respect to them for being able to pull off Joker in a fighting game, but man... it looks bad in a not-so-good way.
  12. No way man. He wanted to arrange a meeting to which I declined. He's been trying to pass off a bunch of women he's not interested in on me... like they're his hack hags or something. I did try to humor him by speaking with one, but I just can't force myself to be interested so I kind of just dropped her altogether before she got even more attached or before something bad happened.
  13. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA you tried passing her off on me too, Fagal Rose
  14. Don't worry much about it, guys. This game is in no way related to TDK, and apparently there is/was a game planned or whatever... http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3169301 And I highly doubt we'll be disappointed in Arkham Asylum since Paul Dini is a co-writer for the story (you know, the guy that had a major hand in Batman: The Animated Series). http://gameinformer.com/News/Story/200808/....1226.23309.htm
  15. I think Frank Miller's a genius for coming up with the idea that Joker wears a type of lipstick. It makes Joker much much scarier. And yeah, it looks like a combination of Ledger/Nicholson/late 70's-80's Joker to me as well.
  16. I'm surprised you hadn't seen this movie before. Anyways, I just saw I wouldn't know what to rate it, but it was a pretty good. I think the Beatles references and songs are what truly kept me going as it wasn't the greatest film I've seen. The love story was way better than that sh!tfest called PS I Love You's story (you know, that movie chicks get all wet over?), and I guess it just seemed more genuine and all. There were a few scenes that I couldn't stand, but they didn't really throw off my experience too much. The visuals were awesome. mmmm can't think of anything more. I enjoyed it, though I would suggest against viewing if you're not into musicals or don't care for The Beatles. Oh, the songs weren't butchered, btw. There were probably two that I didn't like, but I wasn't so into them to begin with.
  17. It was HILARIOUS. Loved the acting, loved the singing, and loved the story no matter how silly it was. I'll give it a 8-9/10
  18. 5/10 The movie was very interesting during the first half, and then took a turn for the worst. I can't believe my mom and sister said it was a good movie and I kind of regret watching it.
  19. At least that tiny scene with Gambit was cool...
  20. The courtroom scene is how it went down in The Long Halloween. I really didn't have a problem with it due to presentation, and usually I'm pretty picky about those things.
  21. You're going to be in a video game?! Congrats!
  22. I found the movie online (free viewing, apparently). I'll let everyone know how it goes. So far, quality isn't so great. And the whole time watching the movie I couldn't get The Long Halloween and Dark Victory out of my head. Of course it didn't follow every detail, but there were so many elements from those stories and they were presented so well.
