I like Christian Bale. I've said worse to co-workers in moments of frustration.

Yeah maybe I went too far, my b.

But I really wish Christian Bale would reframe from using stupid voices in movies all the time.

He used a stupid, excessively hoarse voice in The Dark Knight, and that was probably a directorial decision. I can't think of any other movies where he has a stupid voice.

Terminator Salvation?

He was basically using a mild American accent in there. I didn't have a problem with his voice, more that he was basically playing himself, and not John Connor. Considering he spent four minutes chewing out a guy for walking in his line of sight, I kind of expected a little more out of him than "I'm Christian Bale, where's my paycheck?"

Not only was it a directorial decision, but his voice was actually manipulated in post production to make it sound more hoarse.

I have a question for any batman fans; particularly Wings of Fire, since he seems to know a lot about the franchise. In the Dark Knight, (don't know how true it is to the comic books) does the Joker secretly know that Batman is really Bruce Wayne but pretends not to so he can mess with him?

No, but it's been implicated in the past that...
-He really wants to know who Batman is
-He doesn't really want to know who Batman is
-He may or may not know who Batman is
-He may or may not care who Batman is.

Which is amazing, because TDK was one of the most shittacular sounding movies I've ever seen. The score sucks.

cue sekto

That's about right.

That makes sense. i guess it's best to keep that idea ambiguous, but in a real life scenario. Come on. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out Batman's identity from his height/body shape and the way his mouth looks. Plus all the technology he has the money to invest in.

It's a comic book.

you mean it's not real? So are mudokons not communists?

Well, the random guy working for Wayne Enterprises figured it out. He was just intimidated into thinking he was silly thanks to Lucius Fox. Let's be honest, if Morgan Freeman was telling you you were being silly, you'd believe him, wouldn't you?

There are worse superhero disguises.

In the modern DCU a mask that makes you unidentifiable is said to 'Batman' your face.

Also in Batman Year One, Gordon first thought Bruce Wayne was Batman, but Batman managed to fool him with a mixture of 'I'm a rich douche' and 'I was in the alps at the time'

Probably Superman's disguise too. lol

Have any of you seen the TOKYO three part movie. I thought the Merde section was hilarious

I have to share these:

Wasn't he only doing the hoarse voice when he was dressed up as Batman?

From memory, Bruce Wayne sounded normal enough.

Yeah. I thought that he built a scarifiying modulator into his cowl.

How about talking about a movie instead of obsessing on Batman's voice. It doesn't matter that much, and if it annoyed you, you got issues.

LETO LETO: I think I read that you saw Trash Humpers somewhere. Did you like it? I want some input, but no spoilers. I'm tempted to order the DVD.

I'm genuinely disappointed in you.

Zombie '90: Extreme Pestilence, and it was next to impossible to keep from laughing the whole way through. Looked like it was filmed by a bunch of college students, and it was German, dubbed in English. However, it sounded like a youtube fandub with no attempt at all to match any mouth movements. The best part was the two main characters. A short chubby guy with a high pitched voice, and a skinny guy with the voice that sounded like Black Samson.

Watched The Crow for the first time tonight.

It was really touching. Left me kinda teary =(
Good movie though.

Well, I did it. I watched Avatar. It was on HBO, so I decided to just see why everyone was so excited. As I expected, it wasn't very good. Don't get me wrong. It was okay. But it was also a shit ton of fucking nonsense.

Alright, I'll buy that the island is floating. You don't explain the science of it, but that's okay. I'm going to assume that there is some science that allows it and move on. However, I will not be forgiving the gigantic fucking waterfall coming from the tiny floating island. Where is the water coming from? Hmmm? Where? That's what I thought. It's all style over substance, making it just another fucking Matrix film.

THIS.

Style IS substance.

Yeah. Creed was amazing.

Kill me. Kill me before I do it. KILL ME!

I recently watched Apocalypto and enjoyed it quite a bit. I loved it when Jaguar Paw finally socked it to his bratty tribal nemesis. And I actually get to do a write up on it for extra credit in my US History class!

yeah visually it's a well done movie. but it's so racist too. fucking mel gibson

How is it racist?

Any film that has Mel Gibson in it automatically makes it a racist film.

Did you miss the shit-ton of big sopping wet clouds everywhere? that means regular rain at higher altitudes. Considering how the floating rocks are so angular, then they've probably got big cracky-lakes at the top.

well first the film starts with this quote:
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within"

than you see bloodthirsty mayas killing themselves and at the end the spanish conquerers land led by a priest. all the great scientific achievements weren't mentioned in the movie. and the maniac medicine man didn't even foresee the solar eclipse? there's a lot cliché in this movie, but on the other hand, the hiatus happened indeed.

well ya, but Mayans did kill other tribes as sacrifices. (What about the towers and hunting devices? That showed their achievements.) The movie even sugar coated it. They would actually cut off the arms and legs of the sacrifices and eat them too. But it was only the crazy ass tribe that everyone tried to stay away from, like in the movie, as much as it was dramatized.

Completely out of boredom, I watched a movie called Adam, which is about a girl getting into a relationship with a guy who has Asperger's. It was awful. She had absolutely no reason to be dating him. She was embarrassed of him when he met her friends, constantly at odds with him when they were alone, and she was always trying to get him to stop talking. It was as if she was dating him because it would be politically incorrect to not do so. I see what they were trying to do with the film, but they did the exact opposite. They made people with Asperger's out to be completely unlovable fucktards (which of course they are).

In our school, there's this one kid who has asperger's and he keeps talking about cardboard boxes.

It's funny how asperger people can be so fascinated by little things. Sometimes he just starts talking about making a fortress out of boxes.

is the fortress up for sale? I always wanted to move to Winland

That's awesome. How could you not want to be friends with someone like that?

The most aspergersy movie I ever saw was Shark Boy and Lava Girl.

David Byrne has aspergers I think, but he's cool.

When I say it I always think of Ass burgers. What is that movie with the guy from Flight of the Conchords who goes out with this weird awkward girl, and they play Mortal Kombat or something, and he dresses like an Eagle. I got that creepy distant, socially inept vibe from that movie. Sometimes those kinds of people have the weirdest talents too, and you'll never find out until after a long time because they don't brag about things like that.

I know a guy who has asbergers (i think) and he's insanely good at piano.

On topic: I watched There Will Be Blood about a week ago. It was great, if a bit slow/dry.

I am friends with him. A lot of people in our school bully him, which is so wrong because a) he has asperger's and b) he's just interested in boxes! What's wrong with that?
