'Out Of Gas'
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'll go see The Dark Knight Returns 2: More Darkerer because I'm a Henry Cavill fan and want to see what the new Wonder Woman is like, but this doubling down on the bleak grittiness is a 180° wrong turn from what a Superman movie should be.
And I'm pretty sure I won't be paying to see it 5 times like I did for Man of Steel.
I like the Joker look.
The Joker looks like a friggin' nutcase on nut juice, as well he should. It doesn't resemble any other interpretations I've seen but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I'm neutral on the movie Joker. My guess is he'll have his signature purple suit at least part of the time and won't spend the whole movie doing a Flea impersonation .
It's still light years better than the current "I wear my cut-off face as a mask" comic incarnation.
It's hard to take someone who looks like the current movie Joker seriously. Yeah, he's hard-core and probably dangerous and certainly crazy, but it's Reaver-dangerous, the kind you put down as soon as you've got a clear shot. There no impression of someone who would sit across a table from other crime lords and get them to do his bidding. The Joker's crazy and murderous, but he's also smart and in control of himself enough to use those smarts. That movie Joker looks like he just runs around the streets shrieking maniacally.
Ooh, the Avengers double feature starts at my nearby theater at 4:15 tomorrow. I could maybe do that. In 3D, which I don't necessarily mind, but don't particularly need.
Ultron at 9am on Saturday is also very appealing.
Hm.
I'm trying to figure out if it will be better to wear 3D glasses over my regular glasses or to take the latter off. My distance vision is so much less sharp without them, I'm afraid everything will be a big 3D blur.
I always wear them over my regular glasses, but then I am blind as a bat without them, so I have to wear them.
Me too. When I was wearing contacts regularly 3D glasses were a little more convenient, but over my regular distance glasses isn't bad.
Oooo, I have no barrier to 3D glasses anymore! I should scout out possibilities for seeing this this weekend.
