I knew people would laugh at Bale's face in the poster, I did the same. Also I will take the brunt of being post 100 on page 2, carry on gaf.

What?

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Seriously, what is going on at 42 seconds in the trailer?

 

[Marleyman]

Excellent.

There are many times I said that in this trailer. It feels like something for a film market, not to be released. Probably wasn't even supposed to be.

[Burli]

$94 million dollars and they can't hire competent designers for the poster.

 

[Angry Fork]

What?

I was making a joke about how shitty it is being the last post on a page because people often don't read them.

 

[twinturbo2]

He's the goddamn Batman, he can make any fucking face he wants.

I know. That is why I said what.

[bryehn]

Sold, loved HoFD and Hero

 

[The Lamonster]

he is making quite the "dat ass" face in that poster.

 

[TheKaeptain]

He's drinking at a whore house.

 

[lupinko]

That blu is expensive. It's the only reason I never imported.

I paid like $30 when it came out?

Dunno how that's expensive, but w/e.

Batman Voice: Pray To ME!!!

OK, this made me laugh way more than it had any right to. Kudos to you sir!

Hong Kong blu's are usually $20-$25 plus shipping. The blu is $35 now.

 

[Servbot #42]

lol where's that from? I'm pretty sure it's from an awards ceremony but i don't know which one.

 

[lupinko]

You gotta be selective when importing! Pick and choose!

Yes! This is what I do, I've done well so far, only blemishes have been the laughably terribad 14 Blades and the just gawdawful Sukiyaki Western Django.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Golden Globes

 

[lupinko]

I had free shipping for that one iirc, there are online shops that offer that.

Nowadays I just expedite everything.

But that's what I recall paying for it, it's been years so w/e.

 

[Enosh]

Oh Hero was so good. Bale (Not Mr Nice Guy!) as a priest protecting school girls, maybe it's a winning formula. I don't know, so will just post pictures of how beautiful Hero was.

oh yeah hero now i remember this, same director?
because christ that movie was shitty

 

[SouthernDragon]

I am interested by this.

Also, the Rape of Nanjing is one of the most depressing, traumatizing books I've ever read. Depressed me for a solid month.

It sounds depressing. I might read it when I have free time.

 

[Takuan]

That's a really good "considering a smang" expression.

Oh shit, this is based on Nanjing? Yeah... after reading up on that, I fully understand why my granddad will never forgive the Japanese, and vocally complained at my purchasing Japanese products.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I just read the wiki about the Nanking Massacre. I want to puke.

[Sickboy007]

That poster...it's the best Josh Brolin impression i've ever seen.

That's funny because James Brolin looks like...

 

[Sickboy007]

Let's go full circle then

 

[Kinyou]

He's drinking at a whore house.

I never look so silly when I'm drinking at a whore house.

 

[Extollere]

hmmm

 

[Anton Sugar]

 

[TheKaeptain]

Let's be honest. Everyone looks silly after a few beers at a whore house.

 

[Expendable.]

Wrekin Hill just picked this up for US distribution which means this shit is getting seriously dumped over here. They are a tiny, tiny outfit that didn't have enough money to properly market and distribute The Way Back last year. They plan a NY/LA/SF qualifying run and then rollout in early 2012. I'd be SHOCKED if it goes wider than a few hundred screens, if that.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Just give it to me on blu-ray. Fucking LA/NY

I was surprised that a Peter Weir film - and a solid one too - was so badly mishandled. I heard more about it long before its release than during and afterward. I only saw it when it appeared on Netflix instant watch.

Anyway, does Zhang Yimou usually have full autonomy of his films?

 

[hteng]

i checked this movie out after reading the cracked article, the trailer was awful "Stop hurting the children!". And i hate the fact that Chinese film makers love to make japanese invasion films ever since the start of chinese cinema, i mean yes it's an awful period of time, i'm a chinese myself, i read about the horrors of nanjing massacre, we shouldn't forget it, but it's getting tiresome. for the past 20 or so years, the chinese films that break out to mainstream are mostly war films, kung fu films, wuxia films. can we get something different?

 

[Chuckie]

[BLagiver]

If japan can go into china and walk up and down Chinas butt like this then why do people always hype china as possibly being unstoppable because of the huge population.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Now we just need a shop of the 007 boxart.

 

[effzee]

WHAT?

 

[tino]

I am not looking forward to it. I don't like Zhang Yimou's more recent, expensive "event" movies.

His direction of the Beijong Olympic openning ceremony was awesome though.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I just read the wiki about the Nanking Massacre. I want to puke.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre

It's weird, whenever I think of atrocities committed by the Japanese during WW2, I always think of that quote from Dr. Strangelove:

Ah, oh, no... well, I don't think they wanted me to talk really. I don't think they wanted me to say anything. It was just their way of having a bit of fun, the swines. Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras.

 

[Phantast2k]

So this is about John Magee. Even though it seems like a silly movie I still hope John Rabe is in this as well.

John Rabe (November 23, 1882 – January 5, 1950) was a German businessman who is best known for his efforts to stop the atrocities of the Japanese army during the Nanking Occupation and his work to protect and succour the Chinese civilians during the event. The Nanking Safety Zone, which he helped to establish, sheltered approximately 200,000 Chinese people from slaughter during the massacre.

yeah! u shut ur whore mouth boy. It was poetry in motions and the story is deep.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Thanks for clarifying this as I was wondering which historical figures it was based on. I stupid this subject in depth and it was a pretty disgusting thing to go through.

If you read Rape of Nanking be careful, some of the things Japanese soldiers did were vile and horrible. Nazis in comparison were methodical, quick, and efficient. Japanese soldiers were just monsters without souls.

 

[TheKaeptain]

So this is about John Magee.

Magee was born in 1884 in Virginia of the United States. Magee came from a wealthy Pittsburgh family.[citation needed] His brother was aviator and Congressman James McDevitt Magee. Magee went to school at Yale University, where he was a member of Skull and Bones,[1]:205 and then on to divinity school in Massachusetts. A missionary in China, he was the minister at an Episcopal mission in Nanking from 1912 to 1940.

Should be in the OP o people don't ask why is there a white man in a Chinese movie.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

TIME PARADOX!

those kooky neutrinos are at it again!

a convenient excuse more than anything else.

see: the last Samurai.

Just as well, they made a ton of trinkets from his Batman character in recent times, might as well pay him back a few of that capital. I also think Batman is really popular in China tbh, which is why he could have an allure.

So it's win-win.
