Well I've tried to explain it from about 8 million angles but at this point I'm just being annoying so I'm not going to try again. Actually probably well before this point. This movie sucked btw.

Let me know if they need to come to my office for discipline.

agreed with this pretty much
Nolan's filmography can perhaps be summed up by the iconic shot of the Joker in The Dark Knight, sticking his head out the police car window, oblivious to the dangers around him—an image of freed chaos. It's a small, lyrical moment, and it feels like it happened by accident. The shot is surrounded by so much plot detritus that it feels like a scream from a smarter, better film.

i think the movie is dope
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Tuesday, 31 August 2010 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link
a lil heavy handed but yeah -- forget joker, the opening scene is one of the best opening scenes in an action movie everrr
My least favorite major hit of the last five years. I put it on my Netflix queue to see if I still hate it.

Too bad about the rest of the movie.

probably my most favorite major hit of the past 5 years

I will always have love for this because of the nice shots of Chicago and because I took my dad to the IMAX rerelease and he geeked hilariously hard over it, but that ending monologue never made any serious sense to me until someone on Tumblr captioned a picture of Kanye with it in the wake of the Taylor Swift fiasco

other reasons-
michael cainemorgan freemanlooks greatfighting/action scenes & setpieces all great
― k¸ (darraghmac), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 13:25 (thirteen years ago) link
love catching bits of this movie on HBO, as far as heavy-handed blockbusters go, there's a lot of bells and whistles and actors I like.
xpost!

do people think "I like michael caine/morgan freeman"?

what a very strange question
― k¸ (darraghmac), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 13:34 (thirteen years ago) link
That scene w/Morgan Freeman and the dude who has figured out that Bruce Wayne is or is funding Batman is A+
― Shock and Awe High School (Phil D.), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 13:59 (thirteen years ago) link
i can't remember if it worked better the first time i saw it or not, but i think the movie would be pretty great if Nolan was capable of really injected an element of chaos (and fear of that chaos) into the movie. prob the best non-ledger scene in the movie is just before the big action set piece in the middle, with the police convoy setting out and you're wondering just what in the hell is about to happen...
― ryan, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:02 (thirteen years ago) link
i think the first one is a more enjoyable watch tbh

This movie is great
BUT
I did like The Prestige more than either Batman movies.

prestige love always kind of astounds me.
― k¸ (darraghmac), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:14 (thirteen years ago) link
because no morgan freeman in it right
― conrad, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:25 (thirteen years ago) link
The Prestige was awesome!
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:25 (thirteen years ago) link
i saw the twist coming p early and i think maybe didn't enjoy as much as i should have? might re'screen'
― k¸ (darraghmac), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
bowie makes up for no freeman, obvs
which "twist" iirc there are like 3
― max, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:31 (thirteen years ago) link
also prestige was raaadd
― max, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:32 (thirteen years ago) link
one of my fave flicks of the 2000s
I think it's kind of a toss-up as to whether "The Prestige" or "Memento" is better, but yeah "The Prestige" is fucking great.
― feel free to answer my Korn Kuestion (HI DERE), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Memento didn't take it far enough. not only should movies be shot in reverse order, they should be shot with scenes from other movies spliced in
― funky brewster (San Te), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:37 (thirteen years ago) link
I might have liked The Dark Knight had Bowie played the Maggie Gyllenhaal character.

When I told you that if Gotham no longer needed Batman we could be together, I meant it. But I'm not sure the day will come when you will no longer need Batman. I hope it does and if it does I will be there, but only as your *friend.* I'm sorry to let you down. If you lose your faith in me, please keep your faith in people. Love, now and always, - Rachel.
