mobby_6kl posted:So how long is the choker going to spend in jail? Because while the weirdo is clearly up to no good, he hasn't even touched anyone up to that point. "Assault" "At Common Law, an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact. An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same in criminal and Tort Law. There is, however, an additional Criminal Law category of assault consisting of an attempted but unsuccessful Battery. Statutory definitions of assault in the various jurisdictions throughout the United States are not substantially different from the common-law definition."

Clooney has had a good post Batman career, though that's probably in spite of being Batman. Point stands

I think in this case Val Kilmer is the exception since he has had a pretty middling career since Batman Forever. Everyone else, even Kevin Conroy, had a good career after their Batman tenure.

Are we now at the point where we're retroactively making poo poo up about the older Batman films just to rip into the new one.

Everyone else, even Kevin Conroy, had a good career after their Batman tenure. TBF, a lot of Kilmer's career problems are because of Kilmer, not because of Batman Forever. As for Bale, I'm trying to think of a movie he was in that was bad or a bomb. Either he's just so good that he elevates every movie he's in, or he's savvy about which movies he does? And before anyone says Reign of Fire, it did well money-wise and wasn't universally panned. A silly movie to be sure, but decent enough for what it was.

I guess what I was trying to say was that playing Batman pretty much dings everybody. Even Bale gets poo poo for the voice. It's not a career ender, but nobody says, "Did you see him in Batman? Really impressive!" Movie-written Batman is a weak character, and he doesn't do anyone who plays him any favors.

Organisers cancel Sunday's Brussels attacks 'March Against Fear' quote:The organisers of a "March Against Fear" planned for Sunday to mark the Brussels terror attacks said they had cancelled the event after the authorities asked them to do so because of security fears. Josef bugman posted:True, loads of people are panning this but I think the one on the real receiving end of it is the director. I don't think he'll be put in charge of anything more complex than a whelk stall after this. He already made Sucker Punch and Man of Steel before this, it's not like nobody knew what exactly he's going to do to the film. As spog says, if it makes any money, this'll just keep happening.

I'm sure other posters can talk your ear off about it, but for me the main problem was that the action scenes never had any stakes or really any reason for existing. Which is a shame, because they genuinely did look pretty cool in a power metal music video sort of way.

RareAcumen posted:What was wrong with Sucker Punch (the movie)? While the action sequences were glossy and the normal Zack Snyder affair.. My main problem with it, is that Snyder was going to the mat that this was a feminist movie, but it was so cruel. Baby Doll's Mom and Sister dies. Step Dad tosses her into a corrupt mental institution, and takes all her assets (I believe this was after she also rebuffed his advances, I recall hand on thigh, but it's been a while since I've seen the movie.) The institution has a bunch of sexual abuse going on with the patients and the staff. Baby Doll escapes to the first fantasy realm. Which is.. a brothel, where she dances to attract patrons. They also say they're going to auction off her virginity to High Roller. When she dances, she mentally escapes to those battle field fight scenes, or when she's collecting items for escape. To escape the brothel she needs to find The Fire, The Map and the knife. While she works on escaping the brothel in Dream Level 1, In the real world, Baby Doll gets lobotomized. The dude who lobotomizes Baby Doll is found to have forged the head of the institution's signature, so she finally calls the police. He's caught trying to sexually assault the lobotomized Baby Doll. When the police come one of Baby Doll's friends takes her and they evade police. Because, the police for some reason and taking care of a lobotomized person is easy, and they go off on their own.. and the end credits is them back in the brothel doing another dance to "Love is the Drug." Edit: Okay. It'd be garbage even if he didn't proclaim it to be a feminist film. That's just more like salt in the wound. PicklePants has a new favorite as of 23:22 on Mar 26, 2016 |

It's one of three movies I'm actually upset I wasted time watching even though it was free. Nah see, it being exploitative was a commentary on the audience wanting films to be exploitative.  I don't think any film director has done the "true weirdo is ~you~" thing without coming across as an insufferably hypocritical dickbag in the process.

Consider that. "Muslim" is just a convenient label for "the enemy", the same as saying internment camps weren't racist because they were technically the result of animosity with Japan the nation.
