Walt Disney Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I will accept no attacks on Bane. Seriously, though, guys, I know "special film" means different things to each of us, but as a film lover, didn't the sheer technical insanity just boggle your mind with awesomeness? Or is this just something that you appreciate the more you know about film production? I think that the people who are/were film students are the ones that appreciate it more. I assume that there are a lot of current and former film students on this site, so I felt that Gravity would be very popular here. Edit: sorry for interrupting the ultra important TDKR talk. I will let you all get back to your regularly scheduled TDKR conversation. Edited October 9, 2013 by Walt Disney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Gravity is a good film but I fail to see why everyone is praising the film as its the 2nd coming of christ. hater ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytr87 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Ehh..TDKR is the one film Nolan got wrong. He should have stopped with TDK, but then again, WB probably wouldn't have let him make Inception then. I felt like Nolan's heart wasn't in this film. And, Bane's voice sounds atrocious. It's pull me out of the movie every time I watch it. 87% on RT and 1bil at the box office. Whatever, brah. Bane's voice is what made him nearly as iconic as the Joker. It was the best part of the character. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I will accept no attacks on Bane. Seriously, though, guys, I know "special film" means different things to each of us, but as a film lover, didn't the sheer technical insanity just boggle your mind with awesomeness? Or is this just something that you appreciate the more you know about film production? (I'm the reverse of lordmandeep... watching a movie in a theater is sacrosanct to me. I don't want people talking to me, I don't want to talk to people, it's just me and the movie (and the vibe of the audience).) Hanging out with friends is fun -- we'll talk and goof and all that afterwards. I'm with you 100%. There are a million places you can go talk with your friends. The theater isn't one of them. I have thrown ice at people for continuously talking in the theater. Nothing grinds my gears more than a bunch of chatter boxes who don't when to STFU in a theater. When the film starts, I just want to watch and get lost in it. That's also why I prefer to go alone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poseidon Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 who cares what day it was. The number wont change. Who care's about facts, if they don't fit in your trolling argument? That's what I love about facts, they disarm people like you in a minute. But that's not enough, as it goes on and on and on and that's exactly what trolling is. Numbers are not about opinions and you know that, but you don't care, because it's not your goal to discuss within the facts. Instead you post contoversial statements that are supposed to attract attention and that's why you win, because people react at those postings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I dont chatter box over a 2 hour film I may whisper to my friend 4-5 times at most or to me. I could not imagine how more tedious TDKR would be if did not laugh at Bane's voice. I did like the film more at home as I was more in the mood for a dark depressing tedious film.

lilmac Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Can someone please extrapolate for me where the $500+m domestic grosses are coming from? I'm looking at Taken 2's 55% dip and ultimate gross and trying to reconcile that with Gravity (which has much better WOM admittedly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
