Dark Knight was closer to reality than Batman, so I wasn't able to do the "comic book movie" handwave. And I sure had a lot of problems with reality in Batman that needed that handwave. The reality was good, it felt like real people with real moral crises. Then they throw in the stuff that needs a handwave, and I have to downshift the acceptance levels, and it messes with the really cool stuff they had going.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I KNOW, JULIANA. I KNOW.
Pete just said that the one upside is that right before the new version is released, the original will almost certainly be released on Blu-Ray. I said that wasn't enough of a silver lining to justify this.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"Whereas Proyas' original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style." "
But...that's not how you should do The Crow ! It's supposed to be gloriously Gothic and stylized! Leave it alone!

Is there any hope that everyone with Goth sensibilities or friends with same will pass on the movie, and it'll tank?
