SenorGato Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Finally watched Anonymous...Interesting. Joely Richardson is another one. Not a very happy movie. Edited July 25, 2012 by SenorGato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 With any luck, these horrible previews for The Watch will effectively end the careers of Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and the skinny Jonah Hill all at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad with Vaughn. The guy's responsible for 3 of the best comedic roles ever, but they're all pretty much the same guy. Even that cameo in Into The Wild, he was still Double Down Trent. That said, at least Couples Retreat gave us the scene with the yoga guy. Encouragement. Boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the three, he would be the one you'd think would be versatile enough to break out. He's executive producing shows on TBS that look beyond awful, too. He either needs a new agent or an intervention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Anyone ever realized how much of a modern classic The Faculty is? Here's some of the cast: Elijah Wood Famke Jannsen Jon Stewart Josh Harnett Jordana Brewster Danny Masterson Clea Duvall Piper Laurie T-1000 Christopher McDonald Usher Shawn Hatosy Bebe Neuwirth AND it's directed by Robert Rodriguez.

T0mShane Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 ***SPOILERS*** Things that bothered me about TDKR: 1. The stock market gets overrun in an armed invasion, with casualties, during which Bruce Wayne coincidentally blew his entire fortune on a futures buy, and it'll take "months" for Wayne to prove fraud? 2. The Pit is described as a dark Hell on earth, but when Wayne gets there, it looks like a Pakistani day spa populated by kindly old men who wax philosophically about life, Bane, and history, and are also brilliant chiropractors. 3. The safety rope that Wayne is tied to on his attempts to climb out of the pit is fastened to a pulley hung roughly ten feet from the top of the well. Why doesn't he just climb the stupid rope? He's f'ing Batman. 4. Batman is the world's greatest detective, but can't deduce for himself that mayyyyyybe busting up Bane's mask is the way to go during their initial confrontation? 5. The Bat-belt has smoke bombs and explosives in it, but when he's getting his ass kicked by Bane, he pulls out bang snaps? 6. During the opening sequence when Bane is staging the plane crash, the wings break off about, oh, twenty miles from where they'll find the fuselage. Given that a nuclear physicist and a CIA agent were supposed to have died in the crash and were burned beyond recognition, does nobody question how a plane travelled twenty miles without its wings? 7. 3,000 cops get trapped in a city-wide sewer system for weeks and can't find a single manhole to escape through? 8. Bruce Wayne is one of the world's most recognizable celebrities, but is sitting unnoticed in a French cafe after he supposedly dies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it looks like the Daily News is trying to even things out from the multitude of four and five star reviews. I think today there were three zero stars and a one star.

Only one thing bothered me (until now; thanks a lot, a$$hole) and it's not a logic/continuity problem, it's just a personal opinion. Without getting into spoilers, I didn't like what happened to Bane at the end. Felt sudden and perfunctory and lame. He deserved better.

Without getting into spoilers, I didn't like what happened to Bane at the end. Felt sudden and perfunctory and lame. He deserved better. That was definitely a little hollow for me, too. The last half hour felt like a really choppy edit job or something. I'd imagine that a Director's Cut will include a sizable expansion on the whole breakout-riot finale. The part/s that bugged me outside of the logic nitpicks were 1. Alfred's non-stop whiny "gotcha" speechifying and 2. the weird, underdeveloped have v have-not theme that Bane and Kyle chirped about, but never really went anywhere.

RutgersJetFan Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Caught a showing of Chinese Connection at a local theater last night with a buddy, nothing like seeing Bruce Lee on the big screen. Worth it for the dojo scene alone, which given the fact that it's a completely unedited take, might make it the best fight scene ever. Scenes like the classics from Old Boy, Ip Man, even Kill Bill or every Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie ever made...all direct descendants of this flick.
