The Dark Knight Rises

[HATE!]

This video has been going around. Go to 1:30 of this Tom Waits interview and think about Ledger as the Joker.

Tom Waits australia interview 1979 part 1

Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw. There's this other interview I saw a few years back with Waits in the 1970's or '80's that I can't find (I thought it was with Ed Sullivan but I was wrong) where he has a similar disconnected, do-as-I-please air to him. This may have been it, but if not, I'd like to see how it compares with this topic.

Damn.  I'm a Waits fan and I can't believe I never saw the correlation there.  That's pretty fantastic.  I gotta share this.

Did y'all know Bane has rhymes?

I would love to hear some of those first test voices for Bane with the fluid and what not.

saw it. it wasn't perfect but i liked it. it is after all batman and nolan did better than anyone else would at this time with it. i was bothered most by the pussy shitty cop charter and introducing that one lady as the main villian. would have preferred it stay bane but whatever, it was way better than most comic book movies.

i do find it funny that people are complaining about the spoon feeding here but that i was alone in that complaint in the inception thread. they beat dead horses for way longer in that stinker but i agree that nolan has lost steam and it feels like it's because he's pandering to the lowest common denominator in his audience.

I have nothing new to add but I'll say it anyways, it was great, no dark knight obviously.too many insane leaps from realism to absurd shit and back. I felt like anne hathaway was emulating michelle pfeiffer(sp) more than being her own character.when she's first shown she was all meek and I thoutht that was way hotter and interesting than just sass.bane was great, was lame how he died.but really nothing would have been satisfying while tieing into the theme of the series.the imax was unbelievable, I missed a few scenes just looking at skin, bane's ecu was the best thing in the movie.also the exchange on the plane 'well we caught u bain, wuts ur next move/''crashing the plane, with Nooo survviivorz' was so terrible and funny.

She didn't emulate her in any way; they both had entirely different motives and Anne's Catwoman was already an established badass while Michelle's had to be built from the ground up.

Also, aside, I wish they showed Wayne Tower in the movies beyond Batman Begins. In The Dark Knight it still felt like Gotham was a unique city. But in TDKR, all the bird's eye view city shots threw the guise entirely off and made Gotham all but disappear and replaced with Manhattan.

I absolutely loved the prologue, probably one of the best scenes in the film. 5:54 made me laugh so hard.

I agree. The fact that this film had a lot more day shots than the other two contributed too.
