MrPink Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) The thing that made me mad was their little PR stunt on Oprah. Then she goes on Letterman and other shows supposedly promoting Batman Begins and all they talk about is her new boyfriend. That story completely overshadowed the film, just like Ledger's death overshadowed TDK, and the shootings overshadowed TDKR. Whole fucking trilogy was cursed in terms of having huge media coverage of other stuff than the films themselves at the time of their release. This was probably the biggest tragedy from BBhttp-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM3_e6o6p3IFor real, WB? Nickleback?!

It makes me cringe every fucking time. She is Batman Begins Achilles heel, and it shows. The PR stunt wouldn't bother me so much as it does if at least her ACTING wasn't affected by the a-hole. I can't see a film of him the same way since that thing. I still haven't watched MI4 and I don't know if I ever watch it. Hell I believe the last film I've seen with him was Tropic Thunder, and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'd still take Holmes in Begins a million times over Gyllenhaal in TDK. God that woman has to be the most perplexing case in Hollywood today. Seriously she's more wrinkled than a Pug and has about 3 expressions in all her movies. How in the blue hell does she keep getting work?!? I still laugh/get nauseous everytime Ledger says "Hello beautiful...and you are beautiful" to her in TDK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Just shows how cynical the studio really was. They forced a casting of one of their female TV stars in an attempt to get her teenage fans to watch the movie. Then they crammed in a kissing/rejection scene in at the end as a ripoff of SM1. Then they even ripped off SM1 by sticking Nickelback into the marketing! Sooooo cynical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the times I saw TDK, crowd was packed. During that scene, as soon as Ledger said it...someone yells, "That's a lie!" Quite a few people laughed, including me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's just makes me even more fucking pissed with TDKR. If this can give me shivers even with fucking Nickelback playing at the background and with Katie fucking Holmes, WHY I CAN'T FEEL THE SAME ABOUT TDKR?

redfirebird2008 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Nothing tops the end of SM2 though. I was sitting there with a sold out crowd on opening night. As soon as MJ said, "I'm standing in your doorway," some dude yells "fuck her brains out!" Crowd went bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) She's not even that Ugly. I'm sure there are guys who find her attractive. But she is. And I'm not talking by movie star standards either, just by average every day standards. I wouldn't even care that much though if she could act. Sadly she cannot however. At all. I honestly prefer Holmes "acting" in Begins to Gyllenhaal's in TDK's. Gyllenhaal sticks out as an even bigger weaker link in TDK than Holmes did in Begins, imo. And every movie I've seen Gyllenhaal in her acting is awful. Like I said, about 2 or 3 expressions she uses for all her roles. And if they are gonna cast her in a part where she's supposed to be beautiful like Dawes character is than her looks do matter a little.

I had no problem with Maggie acting( i hardly see her films so i dont judge. I just dont like it type cast so i didnt care for her tdk. glad she died too.

The pov kissing scene made me cringe. But that scene where she is running to Peter's apartment and just gets there after quitting a marriage... fuck yeah. Fuck her brains out was definitely something I had in mind and wish I could do it at time. The single moment in time that I loved Raimi's MJ to death. Then "Go get 'em tiger" happened and... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the teeth I don't think Dunst is that bad looks-wise. Now she's a perfect example of someone who isn't great looking by "movie star" standards but she's pretty good by average standards, imo. As much as I hate on TASM though, I will say one thing it definitley got right above all the other SH movies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now think that Andrew Garfield can pick if he is going to fuck MJ or Gwen Stacy every fucking night. Breathe. Curse the skies. And hate The Amazing Spider-Man a little bit more.
