The Dark Knight Rises

Really? I know this forum is rather quiet, but nothing about the biggest movie of the summer? I was supremely hyped for this movie. I loved the past Batman films to death, and I've been anticipating this since the day it was announced!

I actually saw the "Dark Knight Marathon," something they were holding at all the Regal theatres where the entire trilogy was played back to back, culminating in the final entry at midnight. I came away thinking it was very good, but I have a feeling the 5 hours of movie I had already seen tired me out.

Soooo... I saw it a second time with my parents! And wow, was I blown away! Being awake and able to put together what was happening made it amazing. I loved the movie with a burning passion, almost more than its predecessor, The Dark Knight. At nearly 3 hours long, it clipped on at a very speedy pace, never leaving me with a moment of boredom. And Anne Hathaway! Boy, did I have my reservations about her role. I grew up with her role in The Princess Diaries, and I couldnt see her embodying the sexy Catwoman very well. And I'm soo pleased to be proven wrong!

Did anyone else see the movie? Anyone planning to?

I really want to discuss a particular moment in the movie that surprised me because of how well they pulled it off, but it's a massive spoiler so I'll wait a few days. For anyone who has already seen it, you know the part I'm talking about. The one where the audience all assumes that a character is someone they aren't partially because of expectations about their gender presentation?

Yeah, I think that would be a good thing to discuss once there are more people who have seen the movie.

Now i'm curious and have to see it. I'm sure to want the whole cat outfit and the bod to go with it. Oh well. Thanks for the reviews. Maybe there is something there that relates to this site

Hugs, Charlie

I'm planning on seeing it tomorrow. I'm super stoked. :) I'm kind of a movie nerd. Not like movie buff, more that I just love the (ugh, sorry for the lame cliche) the magic of cinema. XD

I saw this two weeks ago and it was so good, I really wanna see it again! But in IMAX this time I think. I personally thought it was the best movie in the trilogy.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Indeed, you look at the character first as child and then who you think they are as an adult and then. . .

WHAM! KAPOW!

Holy gender confusion, Batman!

I, too, had doubts about Ann Hathaway and OMG!! Seeing her stretched out on that motorcycle made me ache. Talk about The Cat of Anarchy!!

As a friend pointed out, Nolan's three films are distinctly separate from the others simply by name, i.e. not 'Batman' but 'The Dark Knight.' I recall when Nicholson (who I believe to be possibly the most overrated 'actor' in the business) in discussing his portrayal of The Joker said: "You let the makeup do the acting."

And then along came Heath Ledger (R.I.P. )

And why are there no crying emoticons?

I <3 batman! Christian Bale is a HUNK and a HALF, definitely worth the 5 bucks I spent to see it.

Where did you see it for $5.?

You play the standup bass? OMG!I'm a keyboard player/singer myself, but I've always so much loved the double bass. Aside from the traditional model, there are some interesting things being done with electric models though they lose that classic look. Too, I once visited a sight devoted solely to people who had built/were building there own from scratch.

Lastly, I'm an androgyne and the issue of presentation seems to spark controversy. The fashion industry would have it that a successful androgyne look leaves the public wondering what you are. Okay, fine. I, however, am an extremely femmie genderqueer both at home and in public.

Hope we can be friends.

With love,

Chrysee Priscilla

P.S. Just how in the *&^%$@#!!!! do you spell 'femmie'? Femmy? Phegmy?

      You are spot on here ... but also it seems like such a rigged game for the average person that it's hard to invest energy into the political arena -- too much big money controlling too many people/organizations/narratives for the common person to fee; heard...   In general, why we in America accept either candidate is baffling... for all our innovation as a nation, we can't do better than these two bozos?    The problem is, the political arena is such a sham -- again with large money controlling all aspects of the system -- that a common-sense, love-your-neighbor, make-reasonable-compromises, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work candidate will never make it anywhere above the local level (if even there)...    Everything is a reality show, and boring ol' decision makers that try to benefit the most people don't generate enough clicks, views and retweets...  I am not sure it is so much about celebrity as it is about party politics at all costs - "my side must always be viewed as right and your side must always be viewed as wrong!" kind of thinking... there is no consensus building anymore because that will get used against you in campaign ads... When Obama took office and then Hilary ran again, it was like all Republicans want to do was to find someone loud enough to put them in their place. Forget issues, forget character, just win a debate and rally the base.    To get back to your original point, not enough of us care about politics ... and in some ways we've become fat, happy and entitled as a nation. The yearning to achieve the "American dream", which drove my parents and their parents before them to work their tails off and sacrifice and save, is now just "give me the American dream for free while I sit here on my phone and watch tiktok..."

      I am about 5 weeks ahead of you ... best wishes to you! For me it has been subtle changes at most so far (if any) ... but I am also on the "beginner's" level of patch, lol ...    Easy

      Oh, another comment.   I am a conservative evangelical with strong Republican leanings. So is my wife, my friends, my family. I disagree with a good amount of what the Republicans are doing, but there it is.  I understand the mindset, I think, a lot better than those who are outside it do.   When you insult Republicans you insult me, my friends, my family.   People like me can struggle with trans issues.   Please consider that in posting.

      I found this as well. No playacting, they just appear: the finger waggle wave; bracing my elbow on my other arm that's folded across my chest, wrist in the air half-cocked; walking a bit more fiercely... All that. My wife thought I was mocking her at one point!

      I find my lack of time to read the thing frustrating, and I will not really comment until I have read it.  This is a wholly inadequate response.   1.  I think there are some legitimate concern.   2. Thoroughly discussing this will consume many threads.   3. I disagree partially with @MaeBe but there is partial agreement.   4. The context includes what is happening in society that the authors are observing.  It is not an isolated document.   5. Trump, if elected, is as likely to spend his energies going after political opponents as he is to implementing something like this.    6. I reject critical theory, which is based on Marxism.  Marxism has never worked and never will.  Critical theory has problems which would need time to go into, which I do not have.   7. There are groups who have declared war on the nuclear family as problematically patriarchal, and a lot of other terms. They are easy to find on the internet.  This document is reacting to that (see #4 above).   8.  Much of this would have to be legislated, and this is a policy documented.  Implementation would  be most likely different, but that does not mean criticism is unwarranted.

      Sort of bracing myself for flipping, because I am wearing f and of course I wear f and it is natural to wear f and what else would I wear?  The  novelty is long gone out on this.  I wore a bra most of yesterday but we had a Zoom call and I took the bra off because I was concerned about the straps showing.  I missed it.    My body is saying "I am female!  Treat me that way!"   In the past it has screamed about this activity that  I have done to it.

      This is what I'm scared of.  And it's quite possible. Apparently Chicken Little was right.

      Whether it was a hate crime or not, it's still horrible.

      Finally I  am back online   I had to use the help of the contact form (not proud  of that, I always feel embarrassed and shy about contacting people), but here I am   missed all of you
    • atlantis63
      I'm not happy to admit this, but I usually scream or break things.   Breaking things became a bit of a no no, because It was always a cd or something I liked and it got very expensive to replace stuff

      Probably amusement parks. I've never been to one sadly, but I think I could talk for an hour about them without any problem
