Speaking of comic books do you guys know The Phantom? That was my favorite comic book character. It's too bad they don't make movies about him. It's probably cause the prop guys wouldn't have much to do, he didn't have a lot of gadgets, just heavy fists

I thought the comic book man was the guy on the Simpsons who always says, "Worst episode...EVER!"

That's actually an awesome movie. The backstory is just as good -- the movie works on multiple levels.

The movie was made with the backdrop of the Hollywood Blacklist, anti-communist fervor at its McCarthyism peak. Screenwriter Carl Foreman adopted the screenplay from a short story called The Tin Star, and he also created it as an allegory for the witch hunt rampaging through Hollywood at the time -- where Hollywood actors were coerced to turn over names of people they suspected to be commies.

This wasn't exactly a secret in the public, either -- especially given the reputation of the screenwriter. (Capitol Hill's House Un-American Activities Committee, HUAC, blacklisted Foreman right after the film came out.) And yet Gary Cooper, a top ticket actor at the time, ignored the possible bad political ramifications and stood beside it and Foreman -- despite warnings that his association would get him into hot water with HUAC and the American public. (Ballsy and very courageous for Mr. Cooper, btw.) John Wayne would go on to call this movie, in a 1971 Playboy interview, "the most un-American thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life."

And all those pained scenes you see of Gary Cooper in the fight scenes at the end? In real life, the guy was fighting a bleeding ulcer during filming.

just came back after seeing this. amazing story! Jokers craziness is well expressed in the storyline IMO. my fave scene is the hospital destruction. funny and simply amazing!

one or two things i didnt like.. first of all... Batman's fuckin' voice! besides the fact that it would make me piss my pants if i heard him speak to me face-to-face, i dont see HOW it is in ANY way close to Bale/Bruce Wayne's voice! sure, he's tryin to hide his identity n all, but how can ANYONE change their voice/tone so drastically! bloody hell!!!

second... i cant believe Two Face is dead! i felt i saw so little of him! at least letting him live until the next part, u know, like how they dealt with the scarecrow now or something like that, wud've been better! killing him as soon as he's born... not good!

but overall, this is an awesome movie. im not gonna rate it. enjoyed every minute of it.


btw, i entered the theater during the scene where the Joker leaves in the School bus. can anyone tell me what happened before that? i remember seeing William Fichtner there??? right?

i have downloaded many movies (Hulk, Hellboy,darknight) but yet dont have the time to see them

Yeah, sounds more like "talk like a pirate" day than anything authentic.

I haven't had a great deal of exposure to Scottish, but a while back I saw a talk given by a Scot and his accent was delightful. It was very sort of toned down, which accentuated the syllables that are different. I don't know where he was from in Scotland, cause I'm sure that makes quite a difference

sure does make a massive difference,my GF has been in scotland for 3 years now and has no trouble understanding my accent,but when she meets my relatives from aberdeen she is completely lost. that said though most scottish folk are aware that we talk too fast and have a thick accent and will soften it to be understood by non-scots

Alright, tell me. Is this authentic Scottish? Apparently he's Belgian, but he grew up there or something.

but overall, this is an awesome movie.

I loved The Dark Knight too. Ledger's Joker is remarkable. It's a really great Batman movie, a very good film overall.

we own the night

with mark walberg, eva mendez and some actor i forgot the name of. An intense film bout a guy who owns a night club but his family are in the police force and wanna use him to get to russian drug dealers.
Its like a bad dream...it really shakes you up but thats why i liked it. Movies don't usually have an emotional impact on me like that.

 

[Ahmed]

the guy you forgot is Robert Duvall

The bank robbery scene? That was one of the best scenes in the movie.

But then again, I fell asleep after the great hospital blow-up scene.

"On dit gare au gorille, mais gare à Gary Cooper "

I didn't know John Wayne spoke French.

Hey, it's the same reason I don't drop my pants in Paris' Notre Dame cathedral: I have no penis.
