I'm not sure if this is the review thread any more, but here goes.




we're trying to beat Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!



I thought we were beating ourselves.




Kinky! I think you're thinking of the wrong movie Catwoman

NB I checked and the LEAST popular movie review thread (they count hits as well as replies) is The Bodyguard. I feel a bit sorry for it - who doesn't love that I Will Always Love You Whitney song?

That's a rhetorical question, right. I always tell anyone who's too young to remember Whitney warbling # And I-ee-I-ee-I will al-ways lo-ove you-oo-oo-oo-oo-oooo...! # that that bloody awful bleeding effing song was like Vietnam - YOU WEREN'T THERE! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!

Agreed.

I'm a huge, huge fan of Nolan's Batman movies and I'm glad people are having lengthy debates about it, but I think the level of analysis in here is getting a little silly. Perhaps it's an idea to start up a thread elsewhere to really pick the film apart?

I agree; on this thread no one took my theory that (Spoilers): Batman survived at the end of the film by climbing into The Bat Fridge and being blown back to Gotham ala Indiana Jones 4...on another thread that would have been comedy gold!!

Haha...anyone? Bat Fridge? Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?...*tumbleweed*...*cricket noises*...*the creak of rope that cerebusboy has hung himself on*...oh its akward...

In fairness, much of the debate comes from disagreement over what does and does not constitute a "plot hole". I disagree that, for example, Bruce getting back to Gotham or Gordon leaving his speech in his suit constitutes a "plot hole" but, if others do, and others are positing them as flaws in DKR, then its only good manners to take them at their word and further analyse DKR.

 I must've missed someone bringing up the Bruce getting back to Gotham thing. I saw that on another website and had to laugh at people's inability to comprehend it.

Apologies if this explanation has already been posted... just before the scene in which Bruce escapes from the prison, dialogue in a scene in Gotham lets us know that it's been four months since Bane's "uprising began". The bomb was already established to be going off in five months. When Bruce returned, he had less than a day to stop it.
So it didn't take him an unreasonably short amount of time to get back to Gotham... he spent a month, presumably hitchhiking and stowing away in an effort to get to Gotham in time to save the city. Yet another plot hole that doesn't really exist.

Oh God, no! That said, though, Batman had much stronger pop/rock music than most other franchises back then... Siouxie & The Banshees' song from Batman Returns fits the tone of the movie perfectly. The U2 song from Batman Forever is probably one of the only U2 songs I can stand, and Seal's 'Kiss From A Rose' is actually very good.
My favourites though come from the very worst of the Batman movies... 'The End Is The Beginning Is The End' and 'The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning' by The Smashing Pumpkins from the Batman & Robin soundtrack mean that at least one thing about that movie was great.

U2 are the world's greatest band!! Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me is superb though - did you know that, at one point, Bono was rumoured to be starring as a villain (in his MacPhisto guise) in Batman Forever? That would have been cool.

Agreed about Kiss from a Rose. Can't recall much about R Kelly's "Gotham City", although you would think a man of his, er, proclivities wouldn't be such a fan of the place..

Face to Face! Great tune. The Masquerade scene in Batman Returns rocks, I've always been meaning to use "Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it" as a chat up line.


I've tried that once; although I was in a skin tight PVC cat women's outfit at the time...it was just plain silly and the heels were a bitch.

Fyi; Hold me, Thrill me, Kiss me, Kill me is one of the finest soundtrack songs ever!! Shame it was attached to such a fuck awful film!! But agree, I miss the old 80's/90's music video's for films. I was always a particular favourite of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Vanilla Ice video

Oh God, no! That said, though, Batman had much stronger pop/rock music than most other franchises back then... Siouxie & The Banshees' song from Batman Returns fits the tone of the movie perfectly. The U2 song from Batman Forever is probably one of the only U2 songs I can stand, and Seal's 'Kiss From A Rose' is actually very good.
My favourites though come from the very worst of the Batman movies... 'The End Is The Beginning Is The End' and 'The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning' by The Smashing Pumpkins from the Batman & Robin soundtrack mean that at least one thing about that movie was great.




U2 are the world's greatest band!!


They used to be. Once. Maybe.

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me is superb though -


Agreed. You know how it samples the riff from T-Rex's Children of the Revolution? Well I think the song was originally about Marc Bolan - "looking like your sister, dressing like a tart"? So a bit cheeky of them submitting it to a Batman flick!

did you know that, at one point, Bono was rumoured to be starring as a villain (in his MacPhisto guise) in Batman Forever? That would have been cool.


It wasn't a villain. MacPhisto was to have been the circus ringmaster but Yoko Bono turned it down, useless fact fans.

Don't expect the response to be Michelle Pfeiffer licking your face.


You still would, though, wouldn't you? I would...

Yes, I would. Gillian Anderson, too. This is probably getting inappropriate for Dark Knight Rises arguing.

Hm, good luck with that. You'll need it.

(If it's chat-up lines you're after, I find Blue Velvet takes some beating...)
