Jokes on you, I wasn't young then, either. Hahaha, oh wait...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The joke is always on the old.

You shut your whore mouth!

Mom, grandpa's calling people whores again!

I still remember all the online chatter about Heath Ledger getting cast as the Joker. The guy from Brokeback Mountain and A Knight's Tale?

Then he gives us the most iconic live action Joker potrayal which hasn't really been been surpassed in 15 years.

15 years ago, I was... in my 30s.

So I wasn't all that young then either.

Eh it's not for all, mind me asking why you didn't?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

My point of view is maybe a bit strange: I was 22 years old when the film came out. Of those 22 years, I was a little Batman fan for at least 17 years. I loved the whole saga, the series, the movies, and Batman was a huge hero to me.

This film degraded my hero in my eyes. He wasn't nearly as cool as the Joker. In every scene you rightly waited for Ledger to come and say a cool line. This film revolved around the terrific performance of Heath Ledger. Unfortunately, as an old Batman fan, it wasn't mine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, thanks for that...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

If good movies can still be good after any period of time I can be young at any age.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ah you think dark knight is your ally? You merely adopted the dark knight. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the movie until I was already an old man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

I most definitwly did not need to know this...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I will have you know that my neck is only slightly sore from just sleeping.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I hate you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah right, that allegory supporting the overreach of the Bush administration - but everyone likes Batman so when he does it it’s ok.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And it's still unmatched by all Batman movies that came after...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Batman is damn close, though. I had low expectations going into it, but it's about tied with Dark Knight in my opinion.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I agree, The Batman was amazing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's great, but the act 3 kinda ruined it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Why so old?...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That was like 7 Star Wars films ago.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Fuckkkkkkk....

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Man...this movie didn't age well did it? The fuck was Bale doing with that sore throat voice? And why was the Batsuit so clunky? Isn't Batman supposed to be agile and master in hand to hand combat.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean that shitty cop drama with a batman skin spray-painted on top?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Tell me you haven't watched it lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I watched and it sounds accurate. Easily the most overrated movie of all time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you compare Batman to a cop drama, I'm very curious what cop dramas you watch... it's certainly nothing like CSI lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you are boiling it down to the absolute basics, I guess you can try to say that. But at that point, damn near any movie where the main character is trying to stop a criminal of some sort is a "cop drama".

Die Hard is a cop drama.

Every James Bond is just a cop drama.

Even 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' is a cop drama.

Like yea, you can make that stretch, but you're using such broad strokes that "cop drama" is meaningless.
