Did Arnold Freeze say "Fortune favors... the COLD" or did I dream that? Hmm, maybe I did? https://youtu.be/x3nGLx77LwE

I never noticed it before, but with the molded Grecco-Roman abs design of the suit, Robin looks like he has a bunch of giant golden staples through his torso, sort of like that one shapeshifting bounty hunter from Critters 2.

It feels like the mask must be photoshopped over his face. It's literally floating in another layer.

A large part of it is almost certainly trying to do the same kind of camp that the 60s TV series did, dressed up with a glitzier visual style, but there's the "serious" disease subplot too so it's not 100% consistent.

It's the rare movie that is both trying to be so-bad-it's-good and actually so-bad-it's-good at the same time.

Honestly, high-camp Mr. Freeze is so much less tedious than Paul Dano's take on Riddler. My neighbor was watching The Batman super loudly the other day, and it got to the interrogation scene where Riddler's ignoring Batman's questions and instead starts menacingly belting Ave Maria, and whatever vibe they were going for did not land. My wife, who hadn't seen the movie, lost her poo poo laughing and had to know the context. I saw it in theaters and enjoyed a lot about it, but the more I think about Zodiac Riddler, the less compelling it feels. It's trying so hard to chase the feeling of a John Doe or Hannibal Lecter, and it just doesn't work. It reminded me of how hard Red Dragon tried to make Dolarhyde into every famous movie killer, with a stern grandma voice in his head and jars full of murder poo poo and weird old medical ephemera all over his haunted mansion. After a point, it just feels like self-parody.

Most of that stuff in Red Dragon is from the book, but your point is correct because Thomas Harris basically pasted together elements from various real-life killers when he wrote his own, which gives them a kind of catch-all quality as if they represent all iconic murderers. He did the same thing with Buffalo Bill. Anyway, I'm with you about The Riddler, it was a swing and miss by Dano.

Yeah, he was fine for most of the movie but it felt like they ran out of ideas once he was unmasked and just made him craaaaazy.

It's a fitting comparison given how Reeves made the Joker into Hannibal.

I actually don't hate Paul Dano. He's often great, e.g. Swiss Army Man or There Will Be Blood. But goddamn, these choices. I don't get why the guy whose entire villain identity is being a controlled, sociopathic mastermind is also an unstable maniac incapable of regulating his emotions. He's a cautious genius who patiently waits out a chess game over weeks or months, who also bellows insanely and starts singing or crying or flying into nervous ticks with every new emotion. It feels like the laziest way to try and make him menacing. live with fruit posted:It's a fitting comparison given how Reeves made the Joker into Hannibal. Similarly frustrating, because the Batman/Joker interrogation scene in Dark Knight is great, so why do it again but less interestingly? And how much more intense and creepy do they need to make him aesthetically? He's essentially a Disturbed lyric made flesh in this movie.

Paul Dano plays the same anxious, offkilter, combustible character in too many shows. Dude has no range imo.

I like the idea of making the Joker Batman's Hannibal. If he's going to become a staple like Gordon and Alfred, and it certainly feels like he has, it's a lot better than trying to compete with Nolan and Ledger's take. Hopefully Reeves never makes him the primary antagonist.

The scene was cut because they don't want to be married to that gross makeup. There's definitely studio executives who keep asking, "are you sure he can't be a little less hosed up? Maybe hosed up but in a hot way?"

The best part of the Joker scene is that he predicts the entire movie.

If there's one time I'm going to give the Jared Leto Joker credit, it's that he didn't fall into the same trap of just giving him scars and making him look grimy. Even Pheonix's Joker has the same greasy, found these clothes in a dumpster, look. After Ledger everyone decided to just do that again.

My wife, who hadn't seen the movie, lost her poo poo laughing and had to know the context. Riddler's overall shtick was fine with me, but him yelling/freaking out or the singing scene were a bit too much. Surprisingly, the Penguin was actually pretty good, considering I rarely ever care about him in Batman mediums. No idea how he doesn't get arrested for any of the things he does in that movie, though.

Singing in interrogation seems like a good way of not accidentally letting anything slip if you can't handle just being completely silent.

If the projector had fritzed out after the Riddler got arrested I would have walked out pretty satisfied, but it just keeps loving going and I kind of hated it by the end.

Ironically enough at my theater all of the projectors went out (but the sound kept playing) at the scene where Catwoman is about to throw that guy off a building and while I was looking to tell the staff (who had all gone home and one lone kid was the only crew in the whole theater) my wife could hear what she thought was cool poo poo happening. We couldn't get refunds but we did get free tickets for another showing, saw it without technical errors this time and my wife's takeaway was "actually that was kind of boring." Can't say I disagree.

When I saw Apocalypse Now: Redux, the first time the projector bulb blew right after a grenade is exploded near the beginning of the movie. Perfect timing.

The film seized and burned up in the projector at the peak of the climax of Vertical Limit, just as Scott Glen appears out of nowhere to save everyone. The theater was packed and everyone was super into the film, so there was much screaming, weeping and gnashing of teeth.

At an art house’s screening of The Killing one of the reels was basically inserted the wrong way so the film was running backwards and upside down and it took about ten minutes to fix. By the time the film started the audience’s mood had kinda turned, it took me a while to appreciate that film properly.

The aspect ratio switching in Grand Budapest must’ve played havoc with the system my theater used as it was messed up after about 5 minutes and never recovered.
