    It is better with sound:

    "I'm not gay, I'm not gay, watching me dance will make you gay."

    Seriously, he says that.

    :)) I will say this though. Spider can still dance alot better than the two right-footed Bats ever could. :v (Before you mention Adam West; that doesn't count. Only the current incarnations of Bats and Spidey are eligable for any dance-off.)

    Please tell me, that you Batman extremists are not resorting to questioning or making fun of Spidey's sexuality? :v

    All joking aside guys, I really think we shouldn't go there; that's starting to cross the line into bad taste. The last thing I want to do is really offend anybody.

    I know you were just quoting the video Night; I wasn't suggesting anything untoward at all. I just thought I'd err on the side of caution before anybody got carried away. Sorry if it came across the wrong way.

    Huh! I was always under the assumption that any male who enjoyed spending 2 hours ogling a 20ish-30ish man garbed in skin-hugging leotards, an over-sized rubber codpiece, leather(or other material) mask and a silky cape, "Superpowers" not withstanding, had rather dubious sexual proclivities.








    Maybe I'm wrong?!!! :))

    There are probably 30 - 40,000 film forums on the internet, with hundreds - thousands of fanboys(and girls) on each, extolling the virtues of the latest CGI-enabled "hero" and series that is regularly vomited up by the Hollywood machine. I'm here to meet fans of films that feature a hero, who's only superpowers are whatever claptrap "Q" can round up in the lab, and an innate ability to bed any female presence on earth, short of Indira Ghandi or Jodie Foster.

    Yeah, I've heard this argument before, usually by the same flat-earthers who tell us that videogames will turn us all into mindless killers, that jazz is the devil's music, and that James Bond's sexual proclivities and penchant for gadgets and violence are actually a desperate attempt to mask his lack of self-confidence and latent homosexual yearnings.

    Its pop psychology crap like this that brought idiot quacks like Fredric Wertham into prominence.


    Anyhow, bringing this back on topic, there's an interview with Aaron Eckhart over at AICN where he talks about whether or not Two-Face actually died at the end of Dark Knight. If you want to read Eckhart's take on the matter, go here (a word of warning RogueAgent, you may not like what he says ;)):

    Hmm. I didn't get a criticism of CGI anything from the post to which I responded. It looked more like something else to me.

    I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here, Doctor. You seem like an intelligent and able conversationalist---why use a Molotov cocktail as your initial conversation piece? Granted, it's admittedly common on 30 - 40,000 other film forums on the internet...which is probably one of the reasons I pretty much only post on AJB.

    But maybe I'm wrong?!!! It obviously works for you! ;)

    Personally, I won't be happy until they promise to bring back Eric Roberts.

    I thought Eckhart said in a different review that he may be back?

    Now I'm confused. :s

    More of a sarcastic comment, than an argument. I usually save my film debates for more interesting topics like Rohmer vs. Chabrol, Leone vs. Corbucci, etc. rather than the next Disneyworld attraction masquerading as cinema.

    More or less popped into this thread, to see how an over-hyped sequel to a pedestrian remake of a remake managed to garner 90+ pages of responses on a sight devoted to a more low-tech movie series. I thought maybe you guys were posting porn in here. I'm still perplexed.

    I shall leave now, never to return. ?:)

    Yeah, what a pathetic society we live in. I guess the millions of people that generated $900,000,000 of revenue for this movie are all idiots. If only we could all be as enlightened as you. 8-)

    There are lots of things that generate that kind of revenue, from idiots ....crack, fast food, the military, alcohol, etc. And they are no good either.

    I apologize if I offended anyone. I was under the impression that this thread was about giving your honest opinion of the film. I was unaware this thread was solely for the glorification of it. Maybe someone should change the thread title.
  • NightshooterNightshooter In bed with SolitairePosts: 2,917MI6 Agent
    Look, in all honesty, have you even given your opinion? There has been no review from you, no critique. Simply an offensive rant against those who like these sort of films.

    If you want to give a negative review, fine - look at Blueman's, or emtiem's. But please, review the movie, and not its audience.

    This will be my only contribution to this discussion. Dr, I don't know you at all, but I get the impression that you think you are superior than us because you prefer to discuss the merits of Rohmer and Chabrol and we like discussing the merits of Batman and Spider-Man. 8-)

    Actually, what this reveals is not that you're more film literate than us (as you're not) but that, for some reason or another, you need people to know how film literate you truly are. Night is right; you are compensating for something. :s

    Oh, and there is nothing wrong with disliking the latest Batman film, but there is something wrong with coming onto a thread dedicated to it and attacking the people who are interested in it. :s

    Sergio Leone was Italy's premiere Spaghetti Western director. The only reason I know that is that I'm a huge Sergio Leone fan having grown up with his films in Italy as a kid.

    Well, if this is going to turn into a debate on whom was better, my money is on Leone. :v
