the dumbing down of dialogue has been a tactic for years now
jameela jamil talks about this as well
the shrinking attention span of people has made movies and TV shows less nuanced and less interesting to follow

dude Mask of the Phantasm sountrack is soooo good
great movie
|| Really amazing way of sprinkling in the flashback of Bruce and Andrea. Really added the punch to the tragedy that are these two people and their relationship. Plus the last sequence of Batman returning, despite of everything. Ye it's a general thing for the character but has the impact nonetheless.
Man Heath made his own Joker but like the sheer uneasiness Mark Hamill's Joker brings in. You can never be certain what he's gonna pull out, his lunacy really makes him unpredictable and so uncomfortable to just be around. It's just so amazing to see this again||

Mistborn book 1 and all of Stormlight ||I'm slowly making my way through Mistborn's first book, right at the beginning of part 2 where Vin just got a haircut and is prepping to be a proper lady amongst high society. However, I have this weird nagging feeling Kelsier is going to become evil, or replace the Lord Ruler, or something plot twisty. Two things give me this notion: I think there were references to Kelsier in a position of power in one of the later Stormlight books. Also, I think Brandon himself spoiled the ending of Mistborn book 1 for me years ago in his online lecture series, but it's a fleeting memory now. Also, question: is the Lord Ruler one of the shards of Adonalsium?||

spiral quest
Makes me sad. Scarecrow has a ton of potential that I feel has been wasted in a lot depictions
But anyway, grounded batman is cool. Fantastical batman is cool.
There doesn't have to be one definite batman
spiral quest
I am aware, I am not responding to what you were saying. I was saying essentially there is room for both to exist
And I know some people don't think so
main lion
scarecrow and two face were both done dirty by nolan. Like idk with all due respect I dont consider those at attempts at the character proper if theyre dogshit attempts. Casting was great for scarecrow though
spiral quest
Most villains in that Nolan verse were imo the worst versions
Ras al Ghul was made wayyyy worse imo
main lion
Bane was ass too
real
spiral quest
The casting never was bad
But Nolan's direction with the villains left a ton to be desired
I think if he woulda messed up the Joker, I think the Nolan movies are remembered a lot differently
And we would have a metric fuck ton less Joker material
sage remnant
With no comic reference, I really liked Ras al Ghul
main lion
Ras al Ghul did nothing for me
main lion
I think I literally only liked Joker's story/role, and Scarecrows acting
literally nothing else was good
I dont like the casting for dent either
foggy mirage
That was not the demon's head

I dont like the casting for dent either
Aaron I wanna say lockheart?

3 different dents

Aaron I wanna say lockheart?
I feel like Ive seen him in stuff. He just didnt fit the vibe for me

The best Dent was, shocker, BTAS

Batman Begins || Neeson's acting and Ras al Ghul's motivation of maintaining a balance of society. The action that he does and says to do while the way Neeson acts giving off a honorable and virtuous for lack of a better word aura; that juxtaposition is really cool ||

Batman Begins || honestly theres something about ras in nolan's movie where its like... Hes literally just the stereotypical mentor vibe that you see in a lot of movies/shows down to the cadence he speaks in. Theres just something so lacking in him as a character that makes him stand out in a role like that to me||

I got this feeling too

spiral quest
I mean Batman Begins ||I feel like that has happened a lot man in movies||
What Red said
sage remnant
It's more common in anime but not in movies I think
|| It's also just so carried by Neeson || Batman Begins
main lion
maybe this is just an "I like this actor" thing I guess. I thought the performance was boring
uninspired
spiral quest
Batman Begins ||using it for Ras, who admittedly does have a bit of that wanting to purge shit in him, really waters down the other complexities of the demon head. I think the relationship Bruce has with the al Ghuls was miserably watered down and ruined||
main lion
something that only actually bothered me this much on rewatch this past year tho
I used to like batman begins
now I think its almost outright bad
spiral quest
I watched it like late last year
It definitely was better than Dark Knight Rises imo
But it had flaws
spiral quest
Rises is a bad movie yes
There is a lot of just
Man tbh I think the worst thing about that movie is I felt so bored
sage remnant
🤐
The last time I watched these movies
~~The Dark Knight was my least fav movie of the trilogy ~~
spiral quest
Dark Knight Rises ||Bane is also probably the worst take on any villain in the series. Catwoman also was just. Idk man just felt like a bad characterization. I didn't buy Hathaway as Selina||
sage remnant
which was still GREAT
spiral quest
I guess we don't watch movies the same way
Or something
That's totally cool to have the opinion. I just don't see how that all works

that makes so much more sense

Jurassic Park was fine for me but I dont even own it on blu ray, so it's something Id probably only watch if someone was like already watching it
sage remnant
I think I might replace robocop with Naam Mera Joker or 3 Idiots for some Indian movie rep
But my list is probably that

Jurassic Park isn't in my top 5 but itd crack a top 10 or something
I grew up with that film to a degree I'm not sure I actually appreciate how much it changed the industry and public perception of dinosaurs I kinda just take it for granted

No Country for Old Men, that's another film I would put in my top 5, maybe over something like Scott Pilgrim. Or Her and Coraline

I do see probably like
4 "normal" films a week?

It’s the most nominated film EVER
My preferred quartet is
Supporting Actress: Wenmi Mosaku -Sinners
Supporting Actor - Jacob Elordi - Frankenstein
Best Actor - Timothee Chalamete
Best Actress - Jesse Buckley - Hamnet
Then for Best Picture I personally want Marty Supreme but I think it’ll be Sinners

obsidian basalt
doesn't seem like a cohesive enough plotline through the books from what I can see
worthy crypt
yeah i guess that is true but thats kinda why i liked it after wheel of time
its like on the other end of that spectrum
it feels more like a epic trip through a living world than a stage play where everything needs to fall perfectly in line for this main plot
there is a main plot but its definitely less centered than something like wot

some people do make it all the way through but your sense that its 'loose' is correct in that some people get picked up like halfway through or even later. And some people get left behind and dont get to participate in the final battle. But that made it feel more real to me. It didnt feel like everyone had to be funneled into this final battle if they didnt have their own motivations to be there.

like in wheel of time it felt like every single person we ever met needs to be taken along to do at least some small thing in this final battle. I think anime is typically like that too. Malazan was more comfortable with certain people having a limited role and not being swept up into everything if there wasnt good reason for them to be

i mean most of my friends are more into scifi /cyberpunky type vibes
other than Witcher and GoT i don't really get down in fantasy like that
sage remnant
witcher and GoT boht got successful tv
worthy crypt
it does still have the big important characters who go along the whole journey but its less the case that every single character needs to be incoporated somehow
sage remnant
Malazan is already epic in scope than most fantasy and I am only 50% into book one
and well even then it is kinda more tight than I wanted
in like adood's sense of loose-tight
limber urchin
just accept that most people don't read books compared to watch tv and this all makes sense. even i didn't know about the wheel of time til a few years ago (and that was before any tv announcement)
sage remnant
yeah i agree
that's like
the premise of my argument lol
that lucy's exposure to media is limited to mostly movie and tv
limber urchin

what i do with books, is use the hour i have before bed and read. sometimes it's only 30-45 min. but it helps
sage remnant
even when I am listening to it while walking
frank rivet
lol i mean are you reading at that point 😭 you're just listening
sage remnant
I have to go back 1 min like a couple of times
sage remnant
lol i mean are you reading at that point 😭 you're just listening
it's considered reading yes
worthy crypt
theres so much bullshit in day to day life you have to do like chores, exercise, walks that can support audiobooks
worthy crypt

sage remnant
