Controversial opinions about movies
first bane fight, climb, second bane fight, rope around neck, nuke
on all of these, even after several viewings, i still get a lump in my throat wondering if he'll make it
that's not even mentioning all the murder and destruction, like, the gotham bomb chain sequence was horrifyingly realistic
the hanging of those people on the bridge (hanging)
the exile thing (drowning)
all the neck breaking (breaking)
suffocation of justice trough kangaroo courts
the very concept of civil unrest and inter-class warfare is absolutely terrifying to this day and probably especially today
the concept of how possible coups like Bane's are
you should count the god damn nuke too
your move, TDK

Much like Toy Story 2, Cars 2 and Monsters University, Brave is a stupid, poorly written, awfully directed and unnecessary animated film.
What the hell happend to the people who created Ratatouille, Up, Finding Nemo & The Incredibles?
Seriously, 2012's only good Animation was Wreck-It Ralph.
Don't even get me started on DreamWorks Animation.

Monsters University was actually a genius made underdog film if you think about it. It's on the ranks of Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Up, Ratatouille, and its predecessor Monsters Inc.dasheight wrote:Much like Toy Story 2, Cars 2 and Monsters University, Brave is a stupid, poorly written, awfully directed and unnecessary animated film.

I think Pixar needs to stop fucking around with sequels.
We all want one thing: The Incredibles 2 and unique new films.
They're doing The Good Dinosaur next year, and a couple years they're doing something called 'Inside the Mind' and a Day of the Dead film (zombies?)

But is it as compelling to watch? Even with all the stuff you listened.. for me. No, but it's fucking close.prince0gotham wrote:tdkr is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more horrifying than tdk
The boat scene.. really gets me. I thought they were gonna blow each other up upon my first viewing. The Joker had me. I find the ending to be so uplifting.
People ready to believe in good.
Yeah TDKR is much more horrifying though. We see society pretty much crumble.
Granted, it's not all of society, just most of Gotham.
RE: Blade Runner, no doubt, that's not the kind of film it's trying to be. In a way, you have to almost avoid the basics if you want to do something transcendent like that (this is why Lean has a fair stake in the "greatest filmmaker ever" stakes).Vader182 wrote:Blade Runner's aware it's more of an abstraction than anything though, it's not as though it uses the mystery of the investigation to compel viewers along. The key difference is the 'small things' seem increasingly important in some of his films as the 'big things' seem to lose more and more of their luster.ArmandFancypants wrote:Scott has never been an overly gifted storyteller, though. He rarely gets the basics right - the only times I could accuse him of that are Alien and Thelma & Louise. Even Blade Runner is more of an atmospheric, visceral treat than a really robustly-plotted thriller/drama.

RE: The TDKR discussion, I think there's a fair argument for it being more terrifying... the sheer scale of the carnage is massively intimidating. But TDK's scenarios are truly scary, for my money.
