The Dark Knight Rises (Post-release)

[Vivek]

Also, just want to note that "post-release" doesn't really clarify if it's a spoilers-okay or a spoiler-free thread.

Also, maybe new guidelines should be set since we have forum leaders now.

Thanks, we will address this so that there isn't any confusion about this. But for now to confirm, all Post-release threads are open to any spoilers.

It seems like members and forum leader are battling each other on who posts the thread first. It's gotten so silly that people are posting post release threads weeks before a film comes out.

Who cares if the critics screened it. I doubt any of us are "professional" critics. Well some members like to pretend to be but that's another topic.

I wish things were more universal and uniform when a movie gets released or when reviews starts leaking out. And with many movies getting released internationally before US, it makes things even harder. TDKR was screened exactly two weeks prior to its US release and has been quite publicized, it is already widely discussed around other sites, which is why I decided to start a post-release thread here if members choose to discuss the reviews or the movie itself. Prometheus also got released internationally one week earlier, which is why I started that thread early as well.

I have no intentions to claim FIRST amongst the members here in regards to anything. If anybody else wants to start a post-release thread, they can please do so without having to worry that I will battle it out and seize their opportunity.

We are looking at creating consistent threads with all major info pertaining to the movie to be reflected in the opening post. But if somebody already has created that movie thread, we will gladly let it continue as the official thread. The one change they can expect is perhaps their thread title being edited, if necessary to reflect the word "Post-release".

His not being a Nolan fan invalidates the criticism that starting a spoiler thread with a plea to not post spoilers is silly?

Not exactly, just pointing out the absurdity of spending so much time arguing about it in a thread one has no interest in.

Nothing absurd about it at all. It was a forum issue - not a specific issue about the film(s).

All that said the person who doesn't like Nolan films has also posted the most (potential) spoilers.

 

[rodneyfaile]

I just want to know if it was good.

 

[MooCriket]

So, I hear Blake's real name is Robin. Maybe

 

[JoMamma_Smurf]

Nope. Confirmed that he is not Robin in any way. He just a plain ol good cop. Nothing more.

 

[MooCriket]

Sweet. I had read a supposed ending in which it was revealed that was in fact his real name. Eigther way from what I have read, this is going to be one bad ass film. Can't wait.

What's the point of leaving us guessing at a spinning top at the end of Inception?

If that rumor is true, I'm just reporting it. I think Nolan's storytelling skills are terribly flawed and I don't think I've enjoyed anything he's done because of that. But, at least it's some sort of ending and I wonder if it was mandated by others?

You know, it is a lot of fun to speculate!! I do want to see this film for sure. Every time I see some new interview or footage, I get more excited. But I'm really not sure why - I really don't like Bale, I'm not a fan of adding characters like Catwoman, and I think Bane looks retarded...I really think that for me, it's all about the ending - I really want to see Batman (meaning Bale) get the crap kicked out of him.

From my perspective, there was only ever 1 Batman and his name is Michael Keaton.

From my perspective, there was only ever 1 Batman and his name is Michael Keaton.

Well, then you're perspective is wrong as there have been many actors to play Batman.

While I'm no fan of Bale's (or Kilmer's or Clooney's, even) portrayal of Batman I'm not going to deny it exists or try to claim otherwise (from my perspective or not). I don't get why people say that... it's just silly.

 

[Monster Dave]

Well, then you're perspective is wrong...

ouch...

 

[JD]

Hearing more scuttlebutt about that alleged ending...

Spoiler

The cafe scene may be true. It's a simple scene where Alfred sees Wayne (and Kyle) seated at a cafe.

Also hearing that it's Kyle that kills Bane.

Anyone dressing up for the midnight screenings? Tell us where you'll be!

 

[JoMamma_Smurf]

My brother could easily be Bane. Hmmmm

 

[JoMamma_Smurf]

He did Kick Ass last year. I got the costume for him. I need to get him set up to do Bane. He already has the shaved head and everything!! :lol

Won't be dressing up, but: http://www.therpf.com/f47/dark-knight-rises-120860/index40.html#post2338089

haha nice kickass costume! I'm a bit apprehensive about dressing up because im not sure if i'll be the only one to do it and also... is it really going to be a comfortable costume to sit in for 3hrs?
