The two posters are interesting in how different they are. One poster makes me think it's a movie about two friends who do everything together and go to far away places and are BFF's. The second poster makes me think the LOL is short for Lolita.

Well, you can get a quick look at the film because the trailer was just released yesterday. I love art deco and am liking the look of the film, but the preview is somehow off-putting. I'll probably see it but I won't keep my hopes up.

That was dissappointing. I love the Great Gastby but the movie (judging by the trailer) seems to be all falsh with little substance. I know that it is Lurmann's style and all but it just feels like a retreading of Moulin Rouge with the plot of Gatsby thrown in there for some reason.
The movie might be good but the trailer doesn't fill me up with any hope. One of the other big problems from what was shown in the trailer is that the Great Gatsby is about the personal. It is narrated by a character that talks about his experiences and what he witnesses. From the look of the trailer it seems that Lurhmann is more interested in the wider picture, so that it looks like the Nick (the narrator) is just another supporting character who doesn't have to be in every scene.

Man, I'm not getting any of that at all. Of course it's all flash and style: they're setting up their vision and their world. It's the first trailer, so I don't expect a whole hell of a lot of substance or plot(and we did get some in the back-half of the trailer).

Also, I'm definitely a Leo fan, so I'm not worried about him at all. He, Mulligan, Maguire and Edgerton are half the reason why I'm so excited for this.

The thing is I don't feel like they need to set up the world they are representing. It's the swinging 20's and that can be easily shown through the dress style and the way people act, we don't need to see crazy swinging parties with elaborate set pieces.
I don't have anything against Leo one way or another. Jon Hamm would have been my first pick though but I guess he is too old or something like that. Hell even Tom Hanks would be interesting. I usually write off Leo in movies only to be pleasantly surprised by him so I just can't judge him right now for the role.
Lurmann is definitely going for a stylized version for the story and as someone who is a big fan of the book it just comes across as jarring.

Basically, they make more money from Cars movies. Not through the box office (a simple look at wikipedia can tell you that the Cars series are some of their worst-performing movies), but through merchandise. I guess kids really love cars with faces, because none of their other franchises sell as much merchandise as Cars. But hey, if for every Cars movie Pixar can produce an Up and a Wall-E, then I'm perfectly fine with it.

Wasn't there a story about either Wall-E or Up nearly getting canned because Disney couldn't figure out how to merchandise the gently caress out of it?

I have a problem with this one. Every time I see my brain tries to read the face as a letter so its "RI (face)SE". I keep thinking it's a misspelling of raise (ie Riase). I just doesn't look right to me and I don't like how the face splits the word in half.

"Movie Posters Chat: TDKR will literally bomb internationally because of the Pittsburgh Steelers."

All I wanted was an explanation for the mask.

:negative:

Here is another reason for the mask. In the comicbooks he wears a luchador's mask. While this might be threatening in the comics in movies it can come off rather...silly.
I don't have an issue with the mask (above it looking like a tarantulla crawling across his mouth). One thing the Batman movies have done is tried to bring real world applications (as much as you can) to a comicbook movie. They have explained the batsuit and the reason for the batsuit to have a cape. They have turned the Joker's grin into something hideous and unnerving and they have given Bane a reason to have a mask on him. Also Hardy looks drat imposing in the trailers.

Yea it would be hard to explain Bane because (and I only know this because of the Arkham games) he takes like radioactive steroids or some poo poo. Bane himself is like a super-human. Which doesn't exist in the Nolan Batmans.

Bane takes a drug called Venom, which pretty much pumps into his veins so he can "hulk out" whenever he wants to. I figure the painkillers will do a similar job in the movie (if he can't feel feel pain he won't need to stop).
One thing that looks to be carried on from the comics to the film is that Bane is also a master strategist, not just some brute force.

As a non-yank I find American football extremely tedious but how the hell is it silly to include in the movie? It's not like they will show the entire 12 hour long game, just the bits where people get blown up.

Unless you know something I don't and the entire second half of the movie is like Escape to Victory except with American football instead of football. The epic conclusion of the trilogy is that Batman's team has to beat Bane's team in the big game.

And yes Bronson is really good. The next thing I saw Hardy in was Inception and I was just amazed that this was the same guy.

Since this is the posters thread and I mentioned Escape to Victory-



Yes that's Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine and Pelé.

Pele's arm is not attached to his body (or coming straight out of his chest).

Hearing that this was a "pub movie" made me think that Wright was making a Sandman movie as The World's End was a pub (more like an inn) in one of the Sandman comics. Actually in one of the best Sandman comics. A World's End movie based on said comic would rule.

There have been numerous anthologies released of the Far Side, but the best thing to get would be the Prehistory of the Far Side which is basically the history of the Far Side, filled with unreleased stuff and funny anecdotes (like the one about the dog loving the car). It is really a great read with some interesting history thrown in there.

The problem with SLJ is that he has become a bit of a parody of himself, like de Niro or a Pacino. People expect him to play the same roles now (look at Snakes on a Plane) and then think he can't act out of that role. He is a pretty solid actor though.

I never understood why they didn't just put little white things over the eyeholes. Then he can do the glowy-eyes in the dark thing like in the comics. And it would make him look more menacing!

They sort of did this in The Dark Knight when he has the white eyes so he can get that 3D sonar visual thing going on.
