  1. Yikes. The art is pretty nice, but War Machine's mug is pretty screwed up. I don't care for the faceplate, there.

    The Music Thread

    The movie is even better, and I stand by that.
  3. I'm a massive Bruce Campbell fan. That's a great show.
  4. Send that thing my way. The Bruce is epic in that one.
  5. She lived a long, full life. RIP.
  6. Speaking of Alan Moore: I got as an early X-Mas gift, the Deluxe "Killing Joke", allowing me to read it for the first time since I was 16. I have one question:
  7. Except most everyone shows up to the big ones: Golden Globes, Oscars. And most of the little ones don't have actual ceremonies.
  8. Warner Brothers is smart enough to just let Nolan do what he wants.
  9. I'm not a hundred percent on this, I'm not a sharkographer or anything, but I do believe that sharks sweat straight bourbon.
  10. Except that one time that it was.
  11. Honestly, I didn't dig the score that much, outside of the chase scene with the semi. But, then again, I tend to hate everything. And Ian: The buzz effecting the perception of the actors is what bothers me so much. As an actor (Wow, that didn't sound pompous or anything. ), I'd hate to be in Eckhart's shoes, right now. He's arguably (to most) as good as Ledger in the film, but he'll be completely overlooked, just because he didn't die in an Olsen Twin's bathroom. I may be unfairly understating Ledger, I suppose, but it just seems like his part was less demanding.
  12. Caine, Eckhart and Oldman were all better in their roles than Ledger. I don't think they really deserve the nod, per se, but they deserve it more than he does. Eckhart had the most demanding role of the three, and he really showed the serious edge that I've been waiting for, since seeing him in 'Thank You For Smoking.' He rolls with the cocksure, confident nature of Harvey Dent, so well. And when his time came for the turn, his pain was right there, palpable, making him an incredibly sympathetic Two-Face. Caine and Oldman both show the fact that they're 'old hands', taking relatively simple parts and imbuing them with life and heart. Caine especially brings the fatherly sensiblity that Alfred has been lacking in almost every interpretation, (besides B:TAS). Oldman's Gordon is a beacon in a sea of corruption and I only wish he had a Bullock to play off of. Seriously. That's the only flaw in his performance, at all. Both of these guys just do every little thing right. And Ledger... wasn't bad. But his character had no depth, it required no skill. It was just "recite cool monologue in a threatening way" mixed with "black humor". I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Ledger's Joker, because I did. It's one of the best adaptations of the character I've ever seen, but all the same, it's not as good as most people would have you believe, either. (To be fair, Ledger was far more on in this film than Bale was. Bale is a tremendous Batman, but this felt like a HUGE step down from him, compared to Batman Begins.)
  13. ...And so it begins. I'm just gonna say it, I can name three people in that movie who deserve that nod more than Ledger. His Joker was different, and funny, but I really think that it was more about the look given to him by make-up and the script that Goyer and Nolan churned out. His performance was nothing special.
  14. Also, I'm not one to picwhore, too much, but I just got this picture of myself from the aforementioned Hot Wing competition, it's utter, utter win.
  15. 4th 3rd But, I'm a fucking genetic freak. 6'5", 330lbs. I'm a goddamn mountain.
  16. That's funny, because I get drunk and go beat up people a third of my size on St. Patty's day.
  17. In think, the real question is: What the fuck is Lucas wearing?
  18. And England is on the globe, isn't it?
  19. The best part is that the Monarch looks like a boy-hungry pedophile.
  20. I can promise you, snow is overrated.
