“A really funny scene where Hulk is eating pancakes is fast, it’s funny, it makes you really happy, and it is a scene I haven’t seen in a superhero movie before,” Markus said. “Let’s accept that challenge and try to push the whole thing forward, push the genre forward.” A quote from one of the visionary writers of endgame on how they broke cinematic boundaries by having a superhero....eat breakfast?

Hellboy ate pancakes years before Endgame.

Did bellboy eat pancakes in the reboot? If not I feel like we’re gaining key insights on what the movies need, in addition to “hellboy needs to gently caress”

I think Fury Road and Annihilation were the only movies after TDK to capture that scale for me.

I've been eating pancakes for years and it is rarely fast or funny for me. Completely ruined my immersion. I will grant that pancakes often do make me really happy, though.

You know what was more entertaining? Hulk's daddy eating a big rear end cable and becoming an electricity man.

It was a funny scene but "made people really happy" and "pushing the whole genre forward" are extremely lofty ways to describe it

My favorite scene in Thor is when Hawkeye aims his bow at Thor for a few minutes but then puts it down, turns to camera, and says "Someday... I'm gonna fire a bow... I'm gonna fire it real good"

I'm a big believer in The Dark Knight needing reevaluation in just how loving good it is, but the whole thing was such a memorable experience. Fake newspapers and forums discussing Batman through social contracts. It's funny to remember how Iron Man was very much an also-ran at the time.

I'm remember RDJ said The Dark Knight was too complicated to follow and he didn't understand/get it.

Edit: I remember Jonathan Frakes saying about the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise," "To this day I have no idea what the gently caress was going on in that episode." Even though it's about as straightforward as an alternate-timeline episode ever made.

Found the quote, it's worse than I remember lol:Robert Downey Jr. posted:My whole thing is that that I saw The Dark Knight.... It's like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I'm like, 'That's not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.' I loved The Prestige but didn't understand The Dark Knight. Didn't get it, still can't tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I'm like, 'I get it. This is so high brow and so f-king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.' You know what? F-ck DC Comics. That's all I have to say and that's where I'm really coming from. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/robert-downey-jr-didnt-understand-didnt-get-dark-knight

I think it holds up really well, but it does feel a bit bloated length-wise imo. The China sequence is an excuse for an action scene, but I'm not convinced the same narrative end result couldn't have been accomplished in a more streamlined manner. Ledger remains absolutely electric throughout, though. Like that performance is - no pun intended - no joke. It was still as good when I saw it a month ago as it was when I first saw it years ago, even with its pop culture oversaturation.

Well, that was the first movie of his where the studio said “yeah we have no notes”, so of course it (and his next three pictures) get a little flabby before he somehow clicked back in to “cut it to the bone” with Dunkirk.

I still maintain the reason Dunkirk was so lean was because Jonah Nolan was nowhere near the script.

Nah, Batman essentially doing extraordinary rendition on behalf of the cops dovetails with his complicity later on. It's another good sign that Batman is not a good thing.

As an aside, and not that you're saying this, but folks who've argued that the movie should have ended when the Joker is initially arrested or ended with a Harvey Dent cliffhanger are basically asking for a shittier movie.

Dark Knight is one of those Nolan movies that simultaneously manage to be too fast but also too bloated. None of Michael Caine's jokes land because of the bad scene editing blasting you to the next thing it has lined up (and the frequently bad sound mixing). There's weird poo poo like Batman doing detective work on the bullet fingerprint that just seem to be come out of nowhere with little payoff. But then there manages to be like seven separate climaxes. The boat sequence grinds the third act to a halt, and the cell phone sonar fight was a pretty dull sequence compared to how amazing the interrogation scene or the truck chase was. The movie is also made worse in retrospect by TDKR since its themes were not followed up on remotely well. LinYutang fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Aug 5, 2019 |

Andy Serkis is directing Venom 2. I haven't seen his Jungle Book, but this seems good. The worst stuff in the first one were the symbiote fights, hopefully his mocap experience will help make them stand out more.
