  1. Yeah, Nolan really needs to do something about Mumbles McBane asap! He can still save it, but the villain has already had a bad first impression for the new version, after the bad Bane clusterfuck in Batman and Robin. Not a good sign... With this kind of negativity spreading, and super trolls like BKB around to make sure no bad news is supressed, it could be a rocky road to come back from if there isn't a quick fix on that voice. A little threat and menace go a long way, but Bane has neither.
  2. BKB, you have taken the lead and the Batman fans know it. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out from here!
  3. uh... that's it? Pretty underwhelming. I haven't been around, but this is the kind of trailer that can really light a fire under BKB's crusade. I have a feeling this is going to disappoint.
  4. Jack's Joker hardly fell in love with her. She was "the next girl". He moved on from his last girlfriend Alicia, who he destroyed the face of, and you must have missed how he was trying to spray acid in her face from the flower on his jacket. And as far as balls go, he shot his boss and killed, he shot and killed his best friend, and he thought he shot and killed Bruce Wayne.Ledger's Joker was great and all, but Jack's Joker was the over the top loon that he is in the Killing Joke. That's not even hard to tell.
  5. Planet of the Apes (1968)The Usual SuspectsEmpire Strikes BackOn Her Majesty's Secret Service (if you didn't know the end from the book)I have never understood how the Six Sense fooled anybody. As soon as the kid said he saw dead people and they didn't know they were dead, it was obvious to me. The writing was pretty sloppy, as all of his writing is, because even though it never once showed him talking to anybody else, how did he not notice that nobody but the boy talked to him? How did he get into the house with the mom there to wait for the boy?
  6. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?
  7. LOL Maybe you should read The Killing Joke, because that is Nicholson, and Burton even credits that as an influence. Ledger is really not like that Joker very much at all. The part where he shows up at Vicky Vale's door is lifted right from the comic when he shows up at Barbara Gordon's door. And Heath Ledger's voice is hardly a high pitched clown voice. It's effiminate. I am very sure the Joker's voice has never been described as such! Not to diminish Ledger's great performance, because it was, but it was much of his own thing.
  8. Jack played him just like the Joker in the comics, Heath didn't.
  9. Glad I could give you the proper guidance with my educated experience on the subject!
  10. I liked him, too! Whoever that guy who played the Joker in that one fan made Batman short some years back was excellent! Mark Hamill also did a great job voicing the Joker for the animated stuff.
  11. Jack was better. Jack was the joker from the comics. Heath would win because he is this generation's Joker. He is great, too, it's just that nobody could beat what Jack did.
  12. McCartney doing that in concert with the laser light show is incredible!
  13. Keaton was the best Batman and Bale is the best Bruce Wayne. My only issue with Bale's Batman is the "scarey voice". Keaton was much more mysterious and menacing with his whisper. George Clooney making the choice to talk like George Clooney as Bruce and Batman made him the worst to play the role, and when he was cast, I thought he had potential to be the best.
  14. People here, for the most part, are too young to remember how big the 1989 Batman was. That is my favorite.Batman (1989)The Dark KnightBatman BeginsBatman (1966)Batman ReturnsBatman ForeverBatman and Robin (not as horrible as the sheepish internet say, but not good, either)
  15. Titanic is so good that even "tough guys" have no problem admitting that they love it!
  16. I have read ALL of Fleming's Bonds multiple times, and I can say in all confidence that Connery nails Bond. Even Fleming was impressed with him. Read Dr. No or From Russia With Love,or hell, even Moonraker, who's story is nothing like that of the movie, and it's impossible not to see Connery. Here's my hardcover collection on my bookshelf. Pay no attention to the big book; that's Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes collection.
  17. Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney and Wings!For Your Eyes Only by Sheena EastonNobody Does It Better by Carly SimonThose are the 3 that stand above just being a Bond theme song. Others, like Goldfinger, are awesome for what they are. A View to a Kill was pretty good, and Duran Duran were at their peak when they did it. Tina Turner's Goldeneye and Madonna's Die Another Day are catchy songs by divas.
  18. His role as James Bond made my #1 my favorite actor of all time.1. Sean Connery2. Pierce Brosnan3. Roger Moore4. Timothy Dalton5. Daniel Craig6. George Lazenby
  19. Thanks for the forum, guys!Dr. No is my favorite. It was all downhill from there! lol Not really; James Bond has had so many great movies and moments. I had seen every one in theaters since 1974, when I was just a 5 year old, and my disappointment in what they changed it into with Daniel Craig ended that. I still need to see Quantum of Solace.1. Dr. No2. Goldfinger3. From Russia With Love4. Thunderball5. Goldeneye6. Die Another Day7. Live and Let Die8. For Your Eyes Only9. Octopussy10. The Living Daylights11. The Spy Who Loved Me12. Tomorrow Never Dies13. Licence to Kill14. A View to a Kill15. Never Say Never Again (Not part of the Eon series)16. You Only Live Twice17. The World is Not Enough18. Casino Royale 19. On Her Majesty's Secret Service20. Diamonds Are Forever21. The Man With the Golden Gun22. Moonraker
  20. Damn, you beat me to it!Quickly, Robin, the anti shark repellent Bat Spray!I first saw this movie in the early 70's, and I still have a picture of my dad sitting on the Bat cycle because a friend of his was working on it. It was the first movie I ever owned. I bought it back in the mid 80's, and that's when I started collecting. NOBODY bought movies back then, and by the late 90's, I had over 400 movies on VHS. You couldn't buy VHS for less than 20 dollars, and unless you wanted to pay 90 bucks for it a year after it's theatrical run ended, you had to wait until rentals played out and it went up for sale for 20. I paid $40 for Batman (1966) in 1985 or 1986.
