500323, RETRACTION: I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT 'THE DARK KNIGHT' Posted by Orbit_Established, Sat Jan-30-10 04:09 PM
Saw it again.
Long time ago I said it was about (C).
I said the worst part of the movie was the fact that the Joker broke laws of space-time, had no physical psychological or intellectual limits, at all, and was pretty much invincible.
I said mean things to you nerds for crying about how "X or Y" wasn't "feasible" in other movies, then turning right around and defending all this silly impossible nonsense in 'The Dark Knight'
I said that the whole Two-Face diversion was silly that it almost bordered on hilarity.
I was lying.
Why?
Because the worst thing really was THIS:

Oh, the other stuff still sucks and its still about a (C) overall.
But LOL @ Batman's voice. I'm going to start calling it 'THE LISTERINE KNIGHT'. In every scene Batman was in I wanted to tackle the nigga(n/h) and make the nigga gargle with Listerine.
He talked like he got strep throat.
Odd, because when I saw it first, I actually didn't mind the voice.
Oh, and I'm peeping how y'all nerds are nit-picking 'Avatar' and yet didn't nitpick TDK.

I dont get when people say this regarding Listerine. I always feel he needs a Ricola or a cherry flavored Ludens cough drop. Listerine seems like it would make his throat more scratch but his breath would be fresh.

500330, Nah. He has major league phlegm. Green/Brown phlegm. Posted by Orbit_Established, Sat Jan-30-10 05:10 PM

If he gargled after that first scene in the police dept, he could have graduated to some Ludens by the end of the movie.
But he'd have to get there gradually.
Listerine --> Halls --> Ricola --> Ludens
I'd still make him gargle with listerine anyway, because he can't be having no cough drops in his mouth when he's trying to save Gotham. It could go down the wrong pipe and he'd choke. That's not a good luck for justice and peace.
Listerine? Gargle, spit it out, and keep it moving

500336, Avatar was overly simplistic; Dark Knight became convoluted Posted by SoulHonky, Sat Jan-30-10 05:30 PM
Avatar could have done more; the Dark Knight needed to do less.
And I'm also going to give Avatar points for not requiring a monologue ever 5 minutes in order to convey the message that they were trying to get across.

500350, Or Avatar was overly good and TDK was overly bad. Posted by Orbit_Established, Sat Jan-30-10 06:34 PM

This last point is quiet magma. GODDAMN was TDK cheesy with all its "justice" monologues and exchanges. Even the JOKER was cheesin' EXPLAINING his love of Chaos...I almost LAUGHED OUT LOUD that it was so corny.
But on the real: How can niggas nitpick and complain about lack of realisticness of some shit on ANOTHER PLANET and then turn around and IGNORE the WORSE inconsistencies in TDK?

500340, Agreed. Initially I interpreted it as him trying to disguise his identity... Posted by Mole, Sat Jan-30-10 05:55 PM
... but then he used the voice around people who already know he's Bruce Wayne. You'd think at some point Christopher Nolan would've gone, "Uh, Christian? Could you dial back the growl just a tad?"
|
500342, well it's a thing on his suit that makes him sound like that, right? Posted by thoughtprocess, Sat Jan-30-10 06:03 PM
>... but then he used the voice around people who already know >he's Bruce Wayne.
cause i don't think anyone would be able to keep up that voice in real life.
|
500346, It is? Posted by SoulHonky, Sat Jan-30-10 06:19 PM
I always thought he was just doing it himself to mask his voice. I didn't think it was supposed to be a voice box type of thing.
|
500341, i think everyone disliked the voice, Posted by thoughtprocess, Sat Jan-30-10 06:00 PM
so you're not gonna get the fight you're looking for here.
edit: that sketch was pretty funny though.
