And I share in the general irritation at Bane getting chumped at the end there, having his purpose kind of completely diminished and then getting taken out with a snarky line. I'm glad none of the silly comic book venom luchador genius poo poo got ported over though, Nolan's grim "superhero realism" style or whatever can be tiring but I generally prefer it to straight up porting over some of this comic book stuff because it's just straight up goofball. Comic book Bane is too...well...cartoony. Hardy's Bane was muscular and physically intimidating enough without having to go over the top and into bodybuilder range or whatever. I also just don't really like (although admittedly I'm not really into comics or superhero stuff or ever read any) those villains who all like "NOT ONLY AM I THE TOP GENIUS BUT I ALSO HAVE A SCHWARZENEGGER BODY"...it's just kind of meh to me. That's why I prefer a Luthor who isn't like, a super muscular kung-fu master or whatever (which is why I look forward to the upcoming Zuckerberg Luthor).

There's a police sound that plays over the radio whenever they're at a crime scene, sounds like "Plain and southbound 128" that drives me insane. A guy I knew once put it in the background of an episode of "Bad Girls Club" because I hate it so much

I heard the Diddy Kong laugh pre-Diddy Kong Racing in around 1992 on a weird 'fun' word processor for kids - it used to randomly play in the background when you selected a particular skin for the program. It has haunted me ever since.

They could have made the venom thing work with Bane since all it is is basically a super steroid. I mean a super steroid is more plausible than his bathovercraft thing.

Here's the other cop chatter sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dklA4-ACN4k&t=25s and the dreaded gate squeak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcLrmmLcKDA&t=2s Has anyone also heard the car turning off sound? It usually used for beat up cars, and I first heard it in the Driver games. I can't seem to find it but almost any movie with a car will play it. It sort of sound like : clunk..ka clunk.

Nah, that's probably Alfred, and the guy knows a thing or two about fighting. As for Bane... I thought he was the scientist who invented Venom, but he was also addicted to it and it gave him one hell of a case of 'roid rage. So, like many of Batman's villains, it's his own flaw that means he defeats himself. Or, to put it another way, Batman is assaulting the mentally ill and putting them into an institution with something near a 0% success rate for cures.

Comic books are a lot like dreams, the absurdity of them gives it a sense in a way, it's probably why the strange and fantastic wouldn't fit into a movie without becoming say Batman forever redux or an Adam west Batman.

They have god-like beings with essentially magic technology, a talking, genetically engineered and cybernetic raccoon, a tree-man, and pretty soon, a man who will be able to do literal magic (not the "looks like magic but can just be called advanced technology" of the Asgardians, Dark Elves, etc...)

Because he isn't omnipotent. An actual Irritating Moment now: you know how movies often do that thing where they pretend the song playing on the soundtrack is on the radio of the car someone is driving, and when the car stops it gets louder for a bit as the door opens then muffled when the door is closed? Species did it with an open-topped car.

I think using competitive fencing as an example of what "real swordfighting" should look like is probably not a good idea. The objective of a guy fencing for the gold medal is to win the point. The objective of a person with a sword fighting another person with a sword is to not die. If you lose a point in fencing, you swear a bit and accept a silver metal. If you get stabbed with an actual sword in pre-antibiotic society you're seriously hurting or dead. That's not to say that really trying to kill each other with swords is going to look like it did in Rob Roy (although who cares if it doesn't, that scene is loving badass) or The Duellists, but it's not going to look like fencing, either.

Phanatic posted:I think using competitive fencing as an example of what "real swordfighting" should look like is probably not a good idea. Comparing fencing to actual swordfighting is like comparing fancy form-based tae kwon do or whatever to krav maga. One is an art form, the other is just beating the everloving poo poo out of each other. I once saw a site that had stories of historical sword duels, and half the winners died three days after the fight from a sucking chest wound. The old joke about the winner of a knife fight being the one that dies at the hospital while the loser dies on the scene applies to swords too. Basically this is the only way to get out of a knife/sword fight unharmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YyBtMxZgQs

Also if Batman isn't an officer of the law, isn't it illegal to seek out people and punch them or tie them up or things like that? Or destroy their property? Even if they're criminals, isn't it also criminal to do what he's doing? If I downloaded some MP3s from Kazaa in 2004, does that mean Batman can come into my apartment tonight and hit me in the face? If not, what's stopping him? He doesn't have a judge to decide how much wrongdoing is an appropriate amount to warrant a home invasion/assault. When it comes to right or wrong, legal or illegal, all Batman has are the thoughts rolling around inside his head. If he focuses on you as an "evildoer" you might be facing some serious time filing insurance claims or learning how to walk again. Isn't that a bit terrifying?

This is literally the plot of almost every Batman comic book ever. There's a reason Batman only trusts a few cops like Commissioner Gordon.

Applies to many films, but most recent is Jupiter Ascending: We've got hyper-advanced technology, these guys have been travelling around space for a billion years or so, yet some parts of the technology is so dated. They manually aim and fire at things, rather than having a computer doing it more or less instantly and flawlessly. They use paper, or worse, big clunky chunks of metal for signing poo poo. An ipad is thinner, slicker, and more robust than the hunks of metal they use in that movie, and has better visuals. I get that the aiming thing is for tension reasons, but still annoys me somewhat when I see movies which are set around 50 years in the future (like Minority Report) where the technology is in many ways better than a movie with technology that's supposedly thousands/millions of years ahead. Or worse, when the advanced technology isn't even as good as things we have already developed today. One other complaint about that movie. They said they killed off the dinosaurs to make way for the humans, but they also said they seeded the humans on Earth 150,000 years ago. that's a heck of a lot of forward thinking, good they had the patience to wait 64 million years. And did that dude say his boots allow him to surf on a "differential equation"?

Maybe they have like, way way too much of that metal and it's not good for anything else so they said gently caress it and use it for paper? I dunno.
