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

Hazel-Rah 11-02-2010 08:21 AM

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.

Mac Sirloin 11-02-2010 03:07 PM

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.

Hazel-Rah 11-02-2010 04:02 PM

Terminator Salvation?

Emesdee 11-02-2010 07:53 PM

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.

That's about right.

ziggy 11-03-2010 02:37 PM

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.

OANST 11-03-2010 02:46 PM

It's a comic book.

ziggy 11-03-2010 02:50 PM

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?

Wings of Fire 11-03-2010 03:44 PM

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'

ziggy 11-03-2010 04:23 PM

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.

Strike Witch 11-04-2010 01:47 AM

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

ziggy 11-04-2010 11:40 AM

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.

T-nex 11-05-2010 01:26 PM

Watched The Crow for the first time tonight.

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

OANST 11-09-2010 10:55 AM

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.

Yeah. Creed was amazing.

ziggy 11-09-2010 12:15 PM

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

ziggy 11-09-2010 03:28 PM

How is it racist?

Ridg3 11-09-2010 03:34 PM

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.
