'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
oh, I see. It's for smartphones. Not useful to me, then.
Nah, you can see their tips right on your computer screen.
I do take exception with the fact that they suggest during Magic Mike, you pee right before Channing Tatum shows up dressed as Marilyn Monroe. That is not missable!!
Not Rex Reed but Armond White.
Ah. I thought I read somewhere that Rex Reed trashed Batman Begins, but idk about Armond White.
I can tell from your whitefont that they suggest you pee when Channing Tatum does something. That seems like a good idea. However, that seems to be the only thing I'd ever be interested in seeing his character do other than die quickly or let the door hit him where the good lord split him.
Choices are so complicated.
Matt, you saw Schindler's list with a girl date?
I love the premise that people will trust the runpee guy or people to say what's missable in a movie, or can be left to a brief summation. I'd think a community springs up around that, of people that share similar viewpoints on the diverse narratives. It's kinda cool.
Also, I have a hard time working out when in Prometheus is a pee point and what's not, but I'd just say--don't miss anything with David, because the performance was great, and don't miss anything with Captain Heimdall (did he have a name?) because he was hot, but you might as well pee any other time.
Connie, why wouldn't you use the website?
Matt, you saw Schindler's list with a girl date?
Oh yeah, I meant to comment on that, too!
Yeah, this was back in college when I was dating women (and being a perfect gentleman while doing so).
I had to pee during Star Trek, I waited until I couldn't stand it and ended up going right when Kirk is shot off to Hoth, or whatever their ice planet was called, and came back when he met up with Spock.
Perfect timing, bladder!
I think if you dropped the Hong Kong trip and the thing with the hospital, you would have an absolutely killer 2-hour film.
I don't think that works without major rewrites. Or leaving a lot of weird plotholes, I guess.
The Hong Kong stuff could definitely be shorter; Nolan gets Soderbergh-y about explaining every detail with the ballerinas and airplanes and phones. But you have to retain the core: they go outside the law to get Lau. Unless that happens, the mob’s problem is the MCU, not Batman, and there's no reason to set the Joker after him.
I guess Batman could just say "You need that guy? I'll go get him." and cut to "Ta da!" But that’s probably not a crowd-pleasing move.
The hospital scene isn’t quite as critical, but without it the audience is going to have some questions: Why does Dent go after Gordon instead of the guy who actually made Rachel go boom? How does the Joker know for sure that Dent's gone bananas?
So I just bought tix for TDKR (and showings are getting bought up)...I worked it out. We are seeing the 12:10 showing. I literally won't be going to sleep until 5 am, right?
3+ hours for the movie, previews, etc. another 30-60 minutes being up and restless. Holy crap.
