Wait, do we know who he's playing?

*Googles*

...Huh.

Who is he playing, P-C?

Bane.

Guess I have to finally get around to reading Knightfall. The library doesn't seem to have it.

The identities of both villains can be found here. If we're keeping mum about it.

Character details at the link, though it's not like they'll stay unknown for long.

I was all, "What character details?" and then I loooked at the title. I R DUM.

I think she'll be fantastic. She was amazing in Rachel Getting Married.

Who would you have picked instead?

I haven't really thought about it. Though, now that I am thinking about it, though it would be impossible considering Dark Knight, I think Maggie Gyllenhaal would have been aces. (I guess it isn't impossible; just weird as shit.)

Or do you not like Anne Hathaway (in general or specifically for the part)?

I like her, at least for the fluffy stuff I've seen her in (the princess movie with Julie Andrews, and that horrible bridezilla movie). And, honestly, her role in Brokeback Mountain didn't scream "I R SRS ACTRESS!!!" to me.

I guess she just seems like a silly vapid ingenue to me, which doesn't really fit the role she was cast for.

As Daisy notes, she wasn't a silly vapid ingenue in Rachel Getting Married. She was dark, neurotic and fucked up.

Now I want to go home and watch French New Wave movies all weekend! I just saw Breathless for the first time maybe a year ago, and liked it quite a bit more than I'd been expecting. And I saw The 400 Blows in a high school film class and was fairly impressed. Can't remember many others that I've seen, but you all are making me really want to dig deeper into them.

We've been watching some older movies recently, including The Last Picture Show, The Apartment, and Adam's Rib, none of which I'd seen before, all of which I liked, though perhaps TLPS least of all. But the other two were great. Man, Jack Lemmon is just *perfect* in The Apartment. So earnest and goofy and soulful and just a joy to watch. I wish Shirley MacLaine's character was a little more developed -- you never get much of a sense of her feelings for him -- but it still made me happy to see them together at the end.

Well, since Daisy didn't say any of that in her post and *actually* just said that she was amazing in that movie, and since I've not seen that movie (nor heard of it), I really couldn't infer "dark, neurotic and fucked up" from "amazing." But -- hey, if she can do it, right on.

You're right, she didn't actually say that. I am actually saying that, though. She was dark, neurotic and fucked up.

I'd be curious to see her Catwoman.

I'm not sure if I should be a bit hurt or not. I meant that she did a really incredible job with a role that was 180 from the fluffy roles she'd been known for, and that to see that movie and not once think, "Wow, Princess Mia is a psychotic bitch!" is pretty impressive.
