Sorry. That's just in your head. And as already established, you voluntarily donated your brain to a cult awhile ago.

No idea what this means....
Maybe you're having a traumatic childhood flashback?
Is that how you drummed up attention for your street walking mom?
Was ur first superhero costume a cardboard sandwich board that proclaimed: "My Mom's Will Suck The Skin Off You Dick for a Fiver?"

Don't need the history lesson. It was also a shit movie.
verslibre wrote:You sound like you're 75. Season of the Witch has a wicked cool unconventional climax where EVIL WINS. Scores of hapless trick-or-treaters perish. Many a parent despised that movie for its fucked-up ending. It's another win for Carpenter in my book. A plausible premise? Not really. Kind of wacky. But there's this creepy vibe to the whole shebang, and it's got one of his best soundtracks. So there.
I saw it as a kid and laughed my ass off. Stonehenge chips in masks? Cyborgs? The entire thing is retarded. Sorry.

You asked "how was the second movie too soon?" I gave several references, including the Conan Doyle source material. You have no facts and are just an idiot. Moving on...
verslibre wrote:Yay! And who guess which movie in Nolan's trilogy the Joker appears in? The second! Woo-hoo!
The plan was to have him appear again in the next one. How did that work out? You just made the perfect case AGAINST introducing a major villain too soon. So thank you!
verslibre wrote:Sure. Let's see your fiction, bud. I'll give you my honest feedback. Put up-or-shut up time, storyteller.
So now I can only express opinions on cinema if I write/direct my own?
verslibre wrote:You DISlike Batman Begins? Your cred just bottomed out.
You're here defending Man of Steel and BvsS. You never had any cred.
verslibre wrote:Don't ever read Frank Miller's acclaimed Batman: Year One, because that's where big chunks of Begins came from.
Read it. Own it. All you do is lecture and make presumptions, as if you are the keeper of sacred geek knowledge. Get over yourself.
verslibre wrote:You can say that as many times as you want, but Begins is regarded as one of the best — if not the best — superhero origin films, and it's all Goyer, with some screeplay tweaks by Chris.
Begins, to me, is a hot mess. It wants to be a gritty reboot and that urban angle totally clashes with the mustache twirling Ra's al Ghul and his ninjas. The gritty parts work. I understand that is was critically well-received. I don't care.

I bet his upcoming Ayn Rand adaption will be a huge hit at Young Republican meetings across the country.

They shouldn't have given up Gary so fast.
