So, yeah. He's also not showing you what he wrote me to prompt such a message in return or why I chose to block him. But... cool. I know I have it on an iPad somewhere but it's a moot point almost a year later. But again, instead of playing the passive aggressive game, why not actually say how my assessment was wrong? We know you won't. So.. I don't expect anything from you but the usual. Carry on there though, and believe it or not, I hope all is well with you.

Chip Cataldo Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I also enjoyed the new Batman movie and have probably seen it 5+ times now. Even going to get Dad to watch it before we take in the Penguin show as he saw the preview for that and thought it looked interesting. I thought Paul Dano did a great job making the Riddler actually relevant as a threat. Great acting all-around and I think the key to the whole movie was Pattinson in the Bat-suit for 90% of the film and as Bruce only a tiny bit.

Some of us folk do like absorbing the knowledge on these boards. You getting kicked off for 6 months hasn't helped me much. I appreciate you saying that. A lot.

If I have something to openly say when it comes to you I will say it. And when I have misstepped in my words and you thought I was referring to and knocking you, I made sure that it reached you through a mutual friend of ours that I should have been more careful with my words when that was not my intent and I was sorry I let it seem that way. In the past despite our falling out in the old moderation thread, I still recognize the wealth of information you have about this hobby. I would never take that away from you. So, as I said, instead of just posting emoji after emoji, I would like to see your take on Batman in relation to what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Pattinson was announced, there were many that dismissed his portrayal of the character due to his association with the Twilight movies with many ignoring how that was merely a launching point and that he was more careful taking on other projects and who he chose to act against like Dafoe. It was interesting you bring up that Pattinson is in the Bat-suit for the majority of the movie. This was the first Batman movie that I could remember that it felt strange to see "Bruce Wayne" on screen. There is obviously enough going on with Reeves little pocket universe that when James Gunn was handed the keys to the DC Universe he wiped it all away except for that corner.

Bosco685 Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Talk about handing off your beer to a friend and driving home the stake Quote Lionsgate’s “The Crow” reboot is a box office bomb after opening to $4.6 million on a reported production budget of $50 million. One person who isn’t exactly upset about the matter is filmmaker Alex Proyas, who directed the original “The Crow” adaptation in 1994. Proyas has long spoken out against the reboot, as his star Brandon Lee was killed on the set of the original movie. He’s been rejoicing on his Facebook page over the reboot flopping at the box office. “I thought the remake was a cynical cash-grab. Not much cash to grab it seems,” Proyas wrote about the new film’s box office performance. The director has also been sharing negative reviews of the reboot. One review called “The Crow” reboot “the worst movie of the year,” to which Proyas wrote: “The review we’ve all been waiting for. It’s a bit like flogging a dead horse now so I think I’ll stop after this…until another funny one comes along.” TeddieMercede, D84, Ken Aldred and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. That’s all I needed to hear. As an ardent fan of the comics as well, I don’t see this impacting the cult following of the original series by O’Barr or the original movie, but what a failed opportunity. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next big release is Megalopolis and while I am looking forward to it, I don't believe the general audiences are. Besides that I don't believe the next big ticket releases are until 2025 (Wick and maybe Saw?), the next Hunger Games spinoff isn't until 2026.

I cannot believe they would cast someone like that in the position of Batman. What's next, casting that guy from "Mr Mom" as Batman too? like that would ever work.... Mr. Mom as Batman?

I was never a fan of Affleck as Batman. Seeing all the movies since Twilight, I knew Pattinson would nail it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's next, casting that guy from "Mr Mom" as Batman too? like that would ever work.... Mr. Mom as Batman? (La Times 1988) I remember the summer of '89 well. Batmania was in full swing, prices soared for EVERYTHING Batman (Tec 27 beat Marvel #1 as the most expensive book in the Guide for the 1st time ever) and everyone, even non-comic book people were talking about the movie. It was on television everywhere. The casting of Keaton by Burton to play Batman was very different than casting Robert Pattison. It was a real gamble. Keaton wasn't cool. He played a mom. It was a brutal uphill battle for him in that regard. Robert Pattison already has the teenage crowd following him. He's a heartthrob. Keaton had nobody. And this speaks to the creativity of Burton, able to literally make something out of nothing. That's what artists did. They took long swings, took chances and broke molds to create something daring and special. Today, nobody would take someone like Keaton and make them Batman. They'd take a Daniel Craig or a Pattison, with an already built in, established cool factor and cheat. Burton made Mr. Mom cool. There are very few people today who take such risks.

I think it is safe to say that this movie is a failure to the character and the property. I am not asking this as a studio, but as a fellow movie goer. How long does it take for the palate to be cleansed for there to be another attempt at adapting this intellectual property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
