Come anticipate "The Dark Knight Rises" with *BATSPOILERS*

"In Infinite Crisis #4, the Secret Society of Super Villains drops Chemo, a gigantic, semi-intelligent pile of chemicals, on the city, causing a devastating explosion and toxic chemical fallout."

shia laboeuf beat up tom hardy, im sure cumberbatch could give him hell too

irl?

I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually. In Wettest County, apparently. Behind the scenes. No, he did. He knocked me out sparko. Out cold. He's a bad, bad boy. He is. He's quite intimidating as well. He's a scary dude. He just attacked me. He was drinking moonshine. I was wearing a cardigan, and er, went down. I woke up in Pnut's arms. [Pnut is Hardy's personal trainer.] He was concerned for me. I was like, ‘What was that? It was lightning fast.' And he said, ‘That was Shia.' I said, ‘Fuckin' hell. Can we go home now?' ‘No, we've still got three weeks to finish.'

yeah

I thought P-nut was the bass player for 311? There are two people who go by that? Ugh.

Yes, but Shia has the power of crazy. Have you seen his comic book?

lol that reads like an elaborate joke to me

He was drinking moonshine. I was wearing a cardigan

come on

oh it definitely is. Shia believes it though

When Pulp goes country.

He was drinking moonshine. I was wearing a cardigan. She was looking like an erotic vulture.

I saw this last night. Most of the night street action was shot in the two blocks surrounding my gym. You even see the Bat fly over the One Wilshire building at one point, and the scene at the end with the Catwoman kiss is the street under Grand by Moca, where a lot of movies love to shoot. So Gotham is actually at least 1/4 downtown Los Angeles.

Also, when Selina Kyle, is in the airport, you can see an out of focus but unmistakable orange Easyjet plane behind her, so Gotham is also part Luton or Stanford.

Pit prison opens out into Jodhpur, in Rajasthan...lower levels with the steppy edges looks like Chand Baori or a step-well of similar type. Hong Kong in TDK was...Hong Kong.

Just been reminded that at the time I was watching the big destructive air vs ground scene I was wondering how many times the same place got blown up this year. Was it the same location that the big Avengers fight took place in or am I just missing the idea that all US money districts look the same?

They kinda do. The Stock Exchange reminded me of the SF Financial District at times.

Avengers was in Cleveland - which used to be big, big money. CGI and clever cutting was used to make it also be the scenes set in Stuttgart, which looked so good that the municipal government is now looking into plans for public improvements on the basis of "well, if we can have nice public space in the movies, why can't we have it in real life?"

shia lebouf >>> tom hardy

avengers was in cleveland and they poured a ton of money into creating a virtual new york so they wouldnt have to shoot in the real nyc

vahid do you have an overactive challops gland

proven by fighting

nah not on an acting level, in fact the only lebouf movie i've seen is the first transformers and i've seen like 10+ movies w/ hardy in them, i just think it's funny when lebouf says

"They're talking about Ferraris and all, like it's a cool car. If Clarke pulled up in a Ferrari right now, my idea wouldn't be, 'What a cool guy!' It would be, 'Look at this clown.' I think the fact that I despise that stuff keeps me safe. I hang on to my dirt. I like my dirt," said LaBeouf.

also come on he boned megan fox

Gotham is probably where Easyjet fly you if you book a flight to New York.

I think I've posted this to ILX before, but basically I cannot read "Shia LaBeouf" without singing it in my head to the tune of "Sheela-Na-Gig" by PJ Harvey.

Haha well given that Sigur Ros video he really IS an exhibitionist.

LA BOOF

Never mind.

so i just saw this and while i didnt like hate it i was pretty ~meh~ for most of the film.

i guess i'll just list some thoughts in point form, sorry if i repeat anything anyone else has said:

- there were no really great set pieces. the best one was the airplane thing and i'd already seen that in a preview before MI4. and i remembered it being way better because i think i was lifted at the time
- dug bane's voice, dug him in general, but at some point they just ran out of character with him. he stopped being fascinating or scary, he was just a big bad guy. and the talia reveal really made him seem less impressive in retrospect. he didn't even die well
- too fucking long, goes without saying, but seriously did we really need stuff like the mean policeman's redemption
- i don't think the movie's 'politics' are particularly well-thought-out or intentional but having it be about batman & a million cops saving the rich people from the rag-tag revolutionaries was lame, the whole rush limbaugh thing is kinda funny when the movie is kinda 'romney', i mean let's not even mention how it's about an incredibly rich guy with a chip on his shoulder who goes into broken-down neighbourhoods and beats up poor people
- as a friend pointed out, WAY TOO MUCH DAYLIGHT for a batman movie, batman movies should take place mostly at night, this was like 90% in the daytime, lame
- how corny was it when batman was like 'no, i give YOU permission to die! ;)'
- feel like nolan just broke down this time and admitted that gotham is new york, but his idea of the city is really weird and doesnt feel real or even comic-book-real at all
- what is bane's whole plan anyway, esp for his reign of terror, which seemed p chill
- anne hathaway foxy
- all of nolan's batman movies end kind of the same don't they? is it just me or does wayne manor get destroyed or sold off at the end of each one? and batman disappears and its all BUT WILL A NEW HERO RISE

'no, i give YOU permission to die! ;)'

this is literally in the script.

;_;

- as a friend pointed out, WAY TOO MUCH DAYLIGHT for a batman movie, batman movies should take place mostly at night, this was like 90% in the daytime, lame

Coincidence or not that this movie is approximately 90% Batman-free, too?

"the dark knight rises" = "the dark night rises" = a robin is a morning bird DO YOU SEE it ends w. a thermonuclear sunrise over gotham

Batman:
Promise you won't go out
And get mugged and murdered on me

Robin:
I cross my heart!

Batman:
I'll never let that happen
We'll have each other's backs and...

Robin:
Listen to the Jackson Five
And dance the night away.

Batman:
Robin you parted the clouds!

Robin:
And by the light of the moon
We have found the sunrise!

Batman and Robin:
Never thought I'd find it
Truly blinded by it
So bright, so bright, so bright.

Robin:
You are my bright knight!

Batman:
And you're my morning bird!

Batman and Robin:
We're wingmen singing in thirds.
You bring spring to my winter
Flying on the friendship ship.

Batman:
You are my bright knight.

Robin:
You're my morning bird.

Batman and Robin:
We're wingmen, my vision is blurred
For the tears of joy, no more dark, sad, lonely knights.

Coincidence or not that this movie is approximately 90% Batman-free, too?

this bothered me too

too much JGL investigating things and assembling a child army, too little batman

- what is bane's whole plan anyway, esp for his reign of terror, which seemed p chill

i guess he was planning to die in the nuclear explosion, right? no exit strategy.

bane died inside when he lost his adopted daughter just as bruce wayne died inside when he lost his parents

i kinda dug the lack of actual batman, esp since nolan batman looks and sounds kinda corny (very much 'yup it's a guy in a suit', which i guess is in keeping with his whole 'naturalism' thing).

so he was fighting from nihilism which was enough to beat batman but then batman came back with the caring and the baby bird leaving the policeman nest and loving his adopted dads alfred and gordon and gotham (it also made him what he is) and that was how beat the bane

- as a friend pointed out, WAY TOO MUCH DAYLIGHT for a batman movie, batman movies should take place mostly at night, this was like 90% in the daytime, lame

this is so otm, yes. which is bad because a couple of the first times that he was fighting in daylight in front of a building it was exciting & novel, but after that it just didn't fit. it really hinders the way we see him move.

if no sunlight was not enough to make dark city good then certainly sunlight should not be enough to make the dark night bad

ALSO did anyone find it a bit weird that there was like NO mention of the joker at all in this movie... they couldn't stop talking about harvey dent every 5 minutes but nobody remembers the j man??
