If we're lising GI Joe, would Men in Black technically count as a 'Marvel' movie, too, if only through their acquisition of Malibu.

I was just comparing movies, though all comic book movies. Oh right the graph thingy, well Hasbro owned GI Joe so it was a licensed comic, like say a Doctor Who comic from IDW. But it was a popular comic at Marvel. Speaking of IDW, they had the GI Joe license when that movie came out. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Aug 15, 2016 |

Tobey Maguire and Kristen Dunst are definitely my pick for worst couple. Their complete lack of chemistry combined with the big focus their relationship has in the movies make them a pain to watch.

Why is it every time I hope one of y'all is posting the "I can't believe this is a commercial for a Batman movie" video, it's always ABC Family's commercial and not this one, literally produced by Warner Brothers to play on The WB and UPN: https://youtu.be/y9NNIQ-F5lw The different subtext of that "Batmobile through the waterfall" bit is some crazy poo poo on its own, that is some magical editing right there

I still blame everything about Rachel Dawes squarely on the Nolan Bros. You can tell because Maggie Gyllenhall is a better actress than Katie Holmes and still does worse in the role.

The Rachel stuff carrying into Rises was the only part of it I found weird. The Dark Knight has Bruce totally despondent after she dies and he's unwilling to be Batman if it means other people get killed. Alfred is basically all "stiff upper lip, Master Bruce" and convinces him that Gotham has to make do with him and he has to soldier on. But then he's squarely back in extended mourning and isolation in Rises. Probably a more realistic depiction of grief so maybe I'm being too hard on it, it just seemed to run counter to how that development was resolved in The Dark Knight.

Tezcatlipoca posted:The impression I got was he was run down from being Batman for so many years without any success. It may have been that. He wasn't Batman for very long, as far as I could tell. A few months in Begins, an indeterminate amount of time between Begins and The Dark Knight, maybe a couple months in The Dark Knight and then the hiatus. The Dark Knight does seem to imply he's been active long enough to have frequent interactions with Gordon since "he often doesn't" show up when the signal is lit, and the signal is introduced at the end of Begins. All three movies together give me the impression that his career as Batman was like two years tops.

The scene with Bruce at the doctor's office made it seem like he had built up years and years of injuries so I think by DKR he had been at it for a while.

They say that he gradually winded down his time as Batman over the years and let the police take over. He hasn't been doing any Batman-ing for a couple of years when DKR STARTS.

I've heard stories that the director on John Carter had a lot of pull in the ad campaign for that movie but he also shot scenes in such an order that not a lot of good stuff was sufficiently complete for the ads anyway, but on the other hand that might just be rumours spread by Disney peeps who wanted to throw him under a bus.

There's also the famous mistake Sony Pictures made of letting David Fincher have control of the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo ads, which immediately led to David having the photoshoot with Craig and Mara where she's topless and having that be the teaser poster for the movie. They had to talk him down to sending the poster out with a sticker over the areola as to avoid people absolutely losing their poo poo. Then he spent a chunk of change (on SPE's dime) on the music rights to "Immigrant Song", which at least got them an award-winning teaser trailer.
