Dark Knight Rises - SPOILERS start pg 31

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

He's saying that you do see Bane's face briefly in a flashback.

[super gas]

is this a trick question? it was tough for me to get into bane, but i wasn't sleepy or anything

no i'm just saying they do show him unmasked in the film.

[sordid affair]

oh alright

no, that didn't satisfy my impulse

i think i would have needed multiple contemporary scenes to feel fully connected

it's okay though

i recognize that it's not the end of the world if i can't engage deeply with the villain in The Dark Knight Rises

[Trebek]

In my head it would have been so much better if the Bat had never been revealed until the very end, after Bane had acquired all the Wayne artillery, with Lucius telling Bruce "Well Mr. Wayne, there's one thing they didn't get their hands on", and then just have the Bat come in and fuck everything up on the steps leading up to the second Bat vs. Bane fight.

thats a good line

Instant ***** for one shot of Bats jumping out of the thing all

[pinkerton]

you really need to see this one in imax. i saw it on a military base and it was a huge hit with that audience.

[super gas]

so i guess i missed something in the film, from wikipedia storyline,

Fox discovers that Bruce programmed the autopilot on the aircraft six months ago.

how did i miss this?

[Sad Panda]

He says it at the end, it's his last line in the movie or thereabouts.

i did also, completely changing my interpretation of the ending. i had to piss so bad at that point that it blew right by me.

he said to to who?

[Sad Panda]

Excuse me, I don't think Lucius said it. Some Wayne enterprises engineers were going over it at the end and said it was reprogrammed 6 months ago. I just remember it being snuck in there.

Did they ever mention what Selina was so intent on wiping clean? Or was it just that she had a bunch of minor crimes on her record?

[Trebek]

he said to to who?

There were some technicians examining another (aircraft? Bat?) at Wayne Enterprises. Tech says something like,
"Why do you care? This stabilization system's obsolete."
"I just want to know what I could have done to fix it."
"But, Mr. Fox, the autopilot's already been fixed. Patched six months ago."
"Check the ID on the patch."
"Bruce Wayne."

It was also reveled that Wayne contributed to a number of open source projects, inc. Thunderbird.

I don't think they were that minor. Also, I think they mentioned that she had already broken out of lockup at the beginning of the movie.

so this movie was completely awesome and a lot of fun. Really enjoyed Anne Hathaway surprisingly. Was kinda disappointed that ultimately it came down to a "disarm the bomb" type moment, + there really was no emotional investment in the villain backstory.

I love this trilogy, I feel like Nolan is always on the verge of genius but hasn't quite reached it yet

[super gas]

Was kinda disappointed that ultimately it came down to a "disarm the bomb" type moment

yeah my only gripe. not just disarm but how it was taken away on a supposed suicide mission... we already had one movie with that kind of independence day ending this year...

i thought it was a riff on

[razzle]

couldn't this movie have been a template for any superhero? like this could have been a spiderman or iron man movie. batmans never felt to me like that.

[spix et chicho]

you mean in that it had a plot in which characters enacted with one another to solve a problem caused by other characters

because yes in that way it could have been a spiderman!

[razzle]

no in that it was a movie written for dopey people to enjoy

[addison]

this is going to be so much better than nolan's movies

[badhat]

yeah that looks pretty solid. how many movies are they splitting it into?

[badhat]

would you two stop posturing about batman

seriously

[addison]

how's it going, hat?

[spix et chicho]

it's exactly as stupid as a movie as the two that came before it

of course it's stupid

what the fuck!

[badhat]

how's it going, hat?

really good, man

had a great weekend: farmers market, sharon and i cooked a great dinner together last night, two big bike rides this weekend, set some personal records on some local climbs, got a little yardwork done, treated myself to some ben and jerrys...

pretty much first class weekend all around, really.

[good pups]

Yeah no reasonable person who enjoyed it is saying that it was an unimpeachable work of ideal art. They're saying that there were things about it which were enjoyable.

[addison]

sounds fun, good job

i'm about to go get some lebanese food

[pana]

just came back from the theater where i saw this (first time)

went straight to page 30something, saw how retarded the next 30 pages were doomed to be and i'm posting this without reading further

movie was fine, despite its flaws, and an appropriate ending to the trilogy. obviously, TDK is still #1, but this was at least on the same level as Begins. i thought Hathaway did a good job and so did Hardy. really appreciated the ending

obviously, i'm not into comic books

[badhat]

obviously
