 Interesting bit of Cap news, Joe Johnston is talking Winter Soldier, not for the sequel but getting his own spin-off movie. http://www.slashfilm.com/captain-am...oba-fett-movie/ quote:I told the Marvel guys that there is a character that I’m really interested in called ‘The Winter Soldier’ and that if, ‘you guys decide to make that picture I would definitely be interested.’ It’s the ‘Bucky’ Barnes story… We talked about ‘The Winter Soldier’ which is the continuation of what his story is. It’s basically that he is captured by the Russians and he’s brainwashed and turned into an assassin. But you know there are a thousand ways to go with that. I just think that it would be interesting to take a character that was in ‘Captain America’ and build a story around him. Plus, I like Sebastian Stan a lot (who played Bucky) I think he would be an interesting actor to build another feature around.

I picked up tickets to the 6:15 showing. Even used Fandango bucks - saving me money to blow at the convention.

There aren't a lot of panels that night after the floor closes so I will probably try to get tickets for one of the later showings at night. Should be a fun crowd!

I never used to think about stuff like this, I swear, but after years of urls being hidden in a single frame in a trailer and things like that I can't help but notice anything that seems out of place.

The fact that you're a drooling Marvel fanboy doesn't color your opinion at all, I'm sure.

I've really enjoyed all of Marvel's in-house films though, but to be fair, I also really enjoyed Batman Begins. I'm not going to poo poo on a comic movie because of some sort of misguided loyalty to a publisher, because I don't have any. Sorry if I gave you that impression. The bottom line of what I was trying to convey is that I think Bane looks completely ridiculous, so that's what you should take away from my comments.

Rake Arms posted:He knows. And whether those are his genuine opinions or not, he also knew that stating them in the manner he did would provoke a hostile response. Well let's be fair here. I'm not INTENTIONALLY provoking anyone here. I will apologize for my reply to Toot Boot, because the tone didn't come out how I meant it to and ended up being more snarky than it should have, so I can see how that would incite more hostile comments. Any other posts I made? Only if you connect them to the accidental tone of the aforementioned post and just decided I was being an rear end in a top hat regardless of what I was actually saying. I don't like how Bane looks. I didn't like The Joker. If those opinions cause someone to make hostile responses, that's on them. I'll try to wrangle this all in now. I'm pretty negative on Nolan's take on Batman after I ended up disliking The Dark Knight, and nothing leading up to Dark Knight Rises has changed that. Looking at that picture of Bane, as I said, it looks more like a guy in a Saw movie than a Bane concept to me. Mabe in the context of the film, all that poo poo on his face will make more sense, but it's not doing anything for me at all from the teaser. People make defenses that it's no more ridiculous than Scarecrow, or that we should have faith after what Nolan did with The Joker. My responses to those are; It is more ridiculous than Scarecrow, and I didn't like The Joker. I look at Scarecrow from the Batman Begins trailer;  I see an intensely creepy villain. Piercing eyes staring through a worn, dirty burlap sack, shoddily sewn together with bits of straw sticking out. It's got a lot of character to me and intrigues me, and makes me think the character is going to be really loving cool (and he was). I don't see that with Bane. I liked Joker's look too, for the most part. His look wasn't the problem. Heath Ledger wasn't really the problem. Posting a picture of The Joker or bringing up a posthumous Oscar doesn't nullify a complaint. I just didn't like the adaptation of the character and what he did throughout the movie, so I feel continuing to this thread of discussion as if it pretains to my thoughts on Bane's look just doesn't make much sense.

I think the fact that Scarecrow constantly took his mask off ruined any kind of creepy effect it had, but then again i cringe everytime i see his Joker, so it is probably just me that is weird.

I didn't like The Joker. If those opinions cause someone to make hostile responses, that's on them. I don't know if you need or care for my support, but to be fair Ledger's Joker and Nolan's take on him was certainly not immune to criticism. Ledger got the nomination because he clearly put a ton of effort into his portrayal and lots of people thought he had been snubbed for his Nomination in Brokeback Mountain a few years prior--and then passed. It was out of respect for an artist who was clearly dedicated to his craft and willing to take chances and hadn't been recognized by his peers in the way many had felt he deserved. I thought he was serviceable, but that's more because it's impossible to do a bad Joker. The character is by nature a cipher and reflection of his writer's suppressed psychopathic id, and as such there's no real way to do him "wrong." That's why he's so popular--you can be the most awkward, gawky, ugly, maladjusted loser on earth and still pull off a great Joker and find some girl to tell you you're totally hot for doing so. I liked that the character was purposefully low-rent and cheap to contrast Bruce's ultra-rich high-tech use, but didn't think he was all that interesting. You knew every time he came on-screen he was going to snarl and look like a gutterrat rolled in fingerpaint and try really really hard to be incisive, as though "Why so Serious?" was truly something profound because it's simple and promotes levity for both the seriousness of the Batman character and the serious tone of the film. He was just anarchic and nihilistic. He wasn't funny, he wasn't a dark mirror of Bruce's mentality in anything other than his methodology, he was just a thug on the warpath with a unique look (that is conveniently easy to copy by every twat who fancies himself a dark prince). Again, I ultimately appreciate Ledger's portrayal and think that he and Nolan did a lot right... the costume and low-rent approach was genius and I still think the whole "burn a guy on the pile of cash" is one of the best understated murders in memory... ..but they also did a lot that wasn't all that special to anyone familiar with the comics. Despite not liking many parts of Burton's Batman, you can at least say that Nicholson's Joker gave the impression of being unpredictable and genuinely insane and unwilling to settle into one niche--which Ledger's Joker did. He was always one shade of "I'm loving with you" or another and seemed 100% dedicated to the service of messing with others, instead of having the time of his life because it's all for him and gently caress anyone who gets in the way. Sure, he had fun but it was always in pursuit of his goals. Where's the bastard who just kills because it would be kind-of funny? I think there was room in Nolan's portrayal of the character for more mindless anarchy humor, and he missed out on it in the interest of script economy. I'm not saying it was bad but it's not the Golden Standard that a lot of people seem convinced it is. I wouldn't even say it was a particularly revolutionary portrayal--Nolan and Ledger's Joker had such strong roots in The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns that you could see the watermarks. I think some trepidation about Bane is totally justified--although I'll be frank and say that I don't think the mask is that stupid-looking. mind the walrus fucked around with this message at Jul 19, 2011 around 09:24 |

The Mirror's Edge comparison is spot-on though. Someone clearly played that game during production. Also glad to see the proud tradition of "Webslinging/Parkour CGI that will look really dated in 2 years" in Spider-Man films is alive and well.
