Joyce ,'Never Leave Me'
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 saw the trailer finally. WOWOWOWOWOWOW
I am so excited for the movie. Bane's dialogue sounds "okay" on the trailer version I heard (ipad), but if he talks a lot in the movie, they will need to fix it. It is an anomaly versus the other characters.
Is this the first time a Batman full trailer does not have Batman in suit speaking?
Did you show him this video?
I love that vid. The big fight scene is the funniest thing evar.
I kinda think the issues with Bane are 80% just Hardy's voice. The mask does muffle him, and you can't see his lips, which contributes as well. But I watched some clips of him from other things last night; and when he lowers his voice he gets into a Vin Diesel rumble-rumble thing. After a few minutes I adjust; short clips are probably not the best way to tell if it's a problem.
I also caught a bad copy of the prologue last night (it's already gone). I did miss a couple of his lines, but between the thing happening, and the other thing happening, and the variety of accents, almost everyone's hard to understand. But... dialogue is not really the focus of that sequence.
Rumor of the Day - regarding end credits for the Avengers.
The Hobbit - I couldn't get onto the Apple trailer site -- luckily it's already up on youtube.
I AM VERY EXCITED.
I AM VERY EXCITED.
I didn't think I would be, then I watched the trailer.
WANT HOBBITY MOVIE NOW. NOT NEXT YEAR, NOW.
Next year is the year of the dragon - and we're going to get to see Smaug!
I'm not sure of that, sumi. If the book is cut into two parts, I would bet Smaug won't show up until Part 2...
