Movie: The Batman (Battinson)

[BurtReynolds]

No it just sounds like imperial march. That's why I said it.

Your brain goes there because you have so many points of reference though. If you'd never heard imperial march, would you like it?

[The Argonaut]

Reminds me of something I've been thinking about; is everything derivative of something else because of our age? Or because it legitimately sucks? I'm beginning to think mass media consumption begins to wear us thin as we get old. What impresses you anymore? It's so hard to experience anything new, right?

There's something to this but I'm not there yet. Still constantly blown away by stuff I identify as artful and/or exciting (and, conversely, pissed off at stuff that I identify as stale, artless and boring).

Yeah, what comes to mind for me is listening to Pearl Jam in my youth, and my dad saying it's crap. To me back then, it was so fresh and exciting, but now it's mostly crap.

We all become our fathers

couldn't be further from the truth

Sounds like something your father would say.

goddamnit

Why does Gordon trust the Bat-Man so much? At the beginning of the movie, Batman's a guy who spent the last two years playing dress-up and beating up low-level street thugs. What did he do to earn the respect of Detective Gordon? Is that mentioned at all?

I haven't seen the movie but I'm gonna guess it's one of those extreme circumstances call for extreme measures kind of situations. Gotham is in pretty bad shape here, no?

We're not privy to that, and that's fine

[Ms Harmless]

the Imperial March was based on Chaupin's Funeral March

[VinylGuy]

Wright was soooo fucking boring

I dare anyone to point to a single interesting Geoffrey Wright performance

maybe Shaft?

He was kinda ok in the Bond movies too.

[Farmer John]

I don't have a strong opinion about him one way or the other, but I enjoyed him in The French Dispatch.

The impression I get is that the deleted Joker scene reveals that Batman helped arrest Joker, maybe it has to do with that

[VinylGuy]

the whole joker scene felt so shoe horned. Reeves says its not setting anything up, but i call bullshit.

I do like barry keoghan as joker

I re-watched Killing of a Sacred Deer the other day, and I agree. Could be good

[VinylGuy]

yeah, totally.

It seems he could be more close to the comics, the killing joke for example than a re harsh of the Ledger character.

[Ms Harmless]

I've tried watching Sacred Deer three times and each time was bored within 20 minutes and turned it off

granted I haven't watched The Batman yet, I've only spoiled myself on a bunch of scenes, but Dano's Riddler doesn't resemble Ledger's Joker at all to me, other than both of them being movie psychos, and *gestures wildly at a whole history of similar movie psychos*

if anything, Riddler reminds me of Luther Lee Boggs more than Joker

[tree_]

sacred deer is a very fucked up movie, but it blew my mind.. Don't think i'll watch it again

[epilogue]

I want to watch Sacred Deer so badly!

Yeah, Dano's Riddler isn't at all like The Joker. It's very clearly inspired by Zodiac.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, its more the zodiac but that interrogation scene had some serious TDK vibes.
