Man its hard trying to decide on a Batman avatar.

TDK had "Hello beautiful", so it can't be any more silly than that.

 

[Wario64]

Just got free tickets for tomorrow night but it's in a dome. I've never seen a movie in a dome. Think I'll just pass and wait till Friday, I have no hype for it

 

[Tookay]

Im really interested to see what so many people thought or found "silly". TDK had a nice balancing act of being silly yet just grounded in reality. Seems like nolan didnt balance it as well here...

It's from the same people who found TDK just as silly.

You suck

 

[Dance Inferno]

Pretty sure that was an example because I can't see there being a twist ending here. I'd imagine this is gonna end with Batman putting two in Banes chest.

I sure hope so.

Also I'm looking at tickets in NYC and it doesn't look like I can tickets at the Lincoln Center IMAX this weekend. May have to wait a week to watch it...

Oh my fucking god, Hathaway and Cotillard are so fucking hot in this film. Like I literally felt like I would have taken Cotillard into the back of the Tumbler and bopped her philanthropic brains out

I agree to an extent that it's not as grounded, there's a bigger sense of heightened realism. No more silly than the microwave vaporiser thing in BB, so I think it's safe.

Confused. Doesn't "more grounded" mean that there's a bigger sense of heightened realism?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It's a man in a giant bat costume fighting a buff guy who looks like a crab is growing out of his face, it can't avoid being silly

What are you talking about? 6:30am on Sunday isn't sold out.

I would say grounded means more realistic, heightened realism means something that could be fantastical presented in a realistic manner... or something.

If you're grounded, how can you be heightened?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Seventeen hours.

You know you've made it to the big leagues when Wario64 is here.

Ice cold bro.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Fuck. Am I seeing multiple tumblers?

OK Now I'm out of here for good.

Don't really think that's unrealistic. It's basically an upside down helicopter, its rotor blades are on the bottom.

Oh snap, primetime!

If you're grounded, how can you be heightened?

But if you're heightened in realism, how can you be fantastical?

 

[Escape Goat]

Don't really think that's unrealistic. It's basically an upside down helicopter, its rotor blades are on the bottom.

Except it moves like nothing we've seen before or seen in reality. It gives physics the middle finger and firmly launches into LOL territory.

 

[Tookay]

Let's actually watch it in context for more than .5 seconds and then we'll talk about it giving physics the middle finger.

 

[Freewheelin']

Why do we fall?

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Anyone going to see TDKR with an OmnIMAX screen? It's the only true IMAX theatre in my vicinity, but I'm afraid that it may prove to be uncomfortable to watch the film.

 

[.GqueB.]

Damn thing is stupid and looks like a fruit fly. I don't need context.

BRRRRR...

 

[Wilbur]

Meh, I liked it. It probably is more silly than the microwave emitter sure, but it's given a description by Lucius that paints it as an army/government thingy, and I'm fine with that.

In what clip?

 

[Dance Inferno]

Well I just bought tickets for next Sunday at 2pm. Guess I'll have to avoid the internet for a week.

Why so mad

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

still the only thing im against before seeing it.
worst 'batwing' design besides Arkham Asylum.

 

[strafer]

Rush Limbaugh sees left-wing conspiracy everywhere -- even Gotham City.

Speaking on his syndicated radio show on Tuesday, the right-wing host brought up the upcoming Batman film The Dark Knight Rises (or as he called it, The Dark Knight Lights Up), in particular focusing on its main villain, the Tom Hardy-portrayed hulking madman Bane. With Mitt Romney's time at the investment fund (and the questionable time at which he retired from it) filling non-entertainment news headlines, Limbaugh tied the two together, casting some tough accusations at director Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros.

"Do you think it is accidental that the name of the really vicious firebreathing, four-eyed whatever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane?" Limbaugh asked his listeners.

Limbaugh did note that the film, the sequel to the 2008 hit The Dark Knight, has been in the works for a long time, with a summer 2012 release date long part of the plan.

To be honest sometimes there doesn't look like there's any weight behind it in the film, but for the majority it works. It's cool enough I'll let it slide, fuck the haters of Batpod up the wall and now Batwing in the air

 

[Meier]

Have to say that I am pretty shocked that BA Digest didn't care for it. I'm 100% confident I am going to love it but that comes across as unexpected to me.

I most likely will, but not after i've seen it at least once in a regular theater. It wasn't bad for TDK, just really different

This would be funny if it came from anybody but Rush. Instead, it's boring and predictable.

Once again, this wasn't started by Limbaugh or even conservatives. Yesterday: http://washingtonexaminer.com/romneys-new-foe-batmans-bane/article/2502274

This summer's much-anticipated Hollywood blockbuster, "The Dark Knight Rises," is getting an unusual boost from Democrats and other foes of Mitt Romney who are eager to tie the Gotham crushing villain to the GOP presidential candidate.

As the Friday release date has neared, liberal blogs were the first to connect Batman's toughest foe with Romney's firm.

Nope, I'm just checking out the rotten reviews and saw it listed first. I dunno if he didn't like the other films or what, but it seems directly in the wheelhouse of Faraci so I wasn't expecting to see a negative review from him.

Edit: He gave Dark Knight an 8.5 and Inception a 10.

Faraci wasn't a big fan of BB, thought TDK was overrated, and hates Nolan fans in general. To be honest, though it may seem up his alley, if you follow him pretty closely, this was pretty expected.

I just dislike how huge the cockpit and arm things are in comparison to how thin the rest of the body is.
If it had one big rotor on top it might have looked more balanced.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

He thought it was overrated because he didn't give it a 10/10

 

[Wario64]

The free tickets I got are on that screen, I heard bad impressions on other movies but I don't think they were made for IMAX. I dunno.

Lets see the seats boys. Heres my friends and mine for Liemax, not to shabby.

It reminds me of a Metal Gear for some reason.
