Of course not. If they compared it to the comic, the film would look bad.
or just otherwise :)
-
if thw working of the video is the question :)
because yes, that worked :)
-
Any ideas why that didn't work?
what, that it was too dark? or what was the experiment?
-
are you that pooka?
Are there any others?
I was feeling left out.
what means you felt left out?
i hope i didnt do anything that did harm you
if thats the case im sorry!
it just came so surprisingly :)
and you seem very tired on that pic :) and "away"
-
are you that pooka?
the roland pick was funny though :)
my real names is renato anyways, but one of my relaitves called roland and he comes really near to this roland :) altough hes much older :)
-
i dont think theyll explain how the film was made out from the comic and why the changes, they just discuss the film itself i think.

when i saw it, i said psycho and hard talk
Then you saw a totally different film from me.
The Machinist was damn good, in a Fight Club/Jacob's Ladder/Memento kind of way - it was well-directed and written, with a cracking performance by Bale and some fairly intriguing twists, but it was fuck-all like Donnie Darko, and nor was it trying to be. I just don't see the points of comparison here.
If I was going to try to make that kind of argument, I'd suggest that Donnie Darko's main problem is that David Lynch exists, and does it better. But that would be slightly inaccurate too, not to mention pointless and unfair.
whats the comparison? not much really, only that i heard from people that donnie darko is so psycho and good and hard and so. but the machinist is in every imaginable aspect better than darko. i really love that film. what i like the most in it that it tells you things that you think that you know what its all about but it just tricks you until the end. genius!
and to mention bale is one of the most atmopheric actors isnt really important i think :)
(or isnt darko or machinist a psycho film?)
-
was that towards me? some insider joke i dont understand :) (better?)
this photo was taken without my knowledge. thats what i look like if i know:
(not that if that would be better :))

The problem with Donnie Darko is that the director's idea of what it's about is crap. It worked much better as a deliberately-vague, dreamlike story, with the real-world elements Grinning Fellow enjoyed nicely juxtaposed against some ambiguous weirdness about half-formed time-travel philosophy which all ties together just neatly enough at the end to make some sort of sense, but never gets fully resolved.
The director, on the other hand, seems to think it's a fascinating piece of conceptual sci-fi, which it isn't.
the problem with donnie darko is that films like "the machinist" exist.
when i saw it, i said psycho and hard talk, but whats all about? after a while i didnt care much, altough i talked to people about it. and then i saw the machinist. and now i wouldnt care one second about donnie darko. the difference is huge.

well, thats me:

I agree with James - there's simply no way that enough of Constantine's character could be shoe-horned into an animated series (as much as we may wish otherwise, most animated shows are still produced with an adolescent/young audience in mind, and the smoking, drinking, atheism, and cynicism which define John would not make it into a cartoon version of the character) to make it worth doing. A guest spot in Justice League Unlimited would be well within the bounds of possibility, though, and I'd love to see it.
the same what i was saying...
not for kids, but if cutted, not for us.
-
Now a Hellblazer cartoon, wouldnt that just be the bees knees. Remembering how Batman: The Animated Series was a fairly dark (and one of the best tv renditions) of the character, one wonders if they could do HB justice in animated form...
yeah, thats not a bad idea!
i mean how many people like to watch cartoons? the only problem is that children wouldnt see it, but isnt that the target audience for a cartoon? they would loose many viewers if they dont cenzor it a bit but would that be like this okay?

the second:
-
because i couldnt find the show yourself thread again(ami stupid? :)) i post two photos from me here, that at least im not a mystizism for you ;)
the first:
-
my name is a composition of my real name (renato) and the giant from harry potter, hagrid. (re+hag----> hagren :))
-
That'd be cool, have you shown your face yet? I don't think I've noticed....
nope, and ivent seen your either (none of it didnt work)
but the portrait is old so its not important anyays. and im shit :)
-
i like listen to rammstein, serart, soad, metallica, slipknot, perfect circle and such.
-
i like manco or even simpson better than millers art, mostly because besides the hard goodbye he draws a bit dull i think, its quite the same everytime, the characters, the background, the "effects", altough there are always panels which have a good idea in illustrating that particulary situation, bringing in a new wind. and it still looks good because its an own style and has flair.
but mancos drawings are more "beautiful" for me. and i like colors :)
-
he really seems to be jc :)
cool :)
-
Well, you've got talent. I like the rapper one best. Have you got anything that's not in a fantasy vein? Portraits or anything?
You don't have to blackmail anyone, btw, bribery will do fine.
hm i have a portrait of me and the guitarist daron malakian from system of a down, if i find them, i can scan and post them the next days :)
and thx :)
-
Wouldn't it also save money? I've no clue how much the coloring costs on an individual comic book, but I'd think not having to pay for the colorist or the colored ink might increase margins.
for the above: hehe :)
for this thread: i think they could release some special b&w editons but not making this in habit.

You're fine in my book Hagren.
Your posts aren't the easiest things to decipher but I certainly get the intent.
Prodigiously better than if I were to attempt one in Deutsch.
Neither one of us would know what the fuck I was talking about ;)
- TB
you see, my englishknowledge shows itself again: what exactly did you want to say with all that
especially the first two sentences :)
but the last two too
(or am i right that you just wanted to point out that youre glad that im writing and english and you havent got to write back in german because neither you or anyone else would understand it because your not good in german? thats at least what i read from your sentences :))

I thought it was near-as-damnit perfect, too. I actually liked the action choreography - I don't want to see carefully-framed sequences of Batman being a ninja, I want him as a mysterious figure who you barely see as he takes out terrified criminals - so, job well done. He was played like the Alien (from Alien, obviously) for the most part, and I thought it worked exceptionally well. The only scene where I wish it had been done differently was the final fight between Bale and Neeson - a bit of full-on kicky-fighty action would have been sweet at that point.
Holmes didn't bother me, actually - her part was well-enough written, and she handled it nicely. I'm glad she wasn't made into more of a love interest, though, and I'm not bothered that she won't be back for the sequel. There was no reason for her to come back, anyway, after the end of this one.
I had mixed feelings about the "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you" line. On the one hand...yes, he appears to be killing him by inaction. On the other hand, it's a situation Bruce can get away from - why assume that his teacher (who is, apparently, more or less Bruce's equal when it comes to feats of action-packed derring-do) couldn't also escape? There's also the fact that, comic-ular overemphasis of the "Batman doesn't kill. Ever. Or allow anyone to die by accident. Or fail to save anyone" theme aside, I have no problem with his leaving him there anyway. It's fair enough, in fact, given their relationship up to that point in the film, and falls far enough short of the Burton-esque "Batman totally kills the fuck out of the Penguin" mischaracterisation to more or less satisfy me.
The appallingly bad science of the Microwave-emitting doohickey was far and away my biggest problem with the film. A shame, given how brilliantly plausible (and yet still satisfyingly action-packed and comic-booky) everything else was. A mistake, but not one which sank the film. "Cockernee" Alfred took me a while to come round to, but Caine was generally excellent, so I got used to it eventually. It was less of a problem on a second viewing, anyway. The growly Bat-voice was a bit off at times, but at other times it worked perfectly - he was gratifyingly shit-scary in the scene where he interrogates Flass, for example. The contrast to his "Bruce Wayne" voice was done better than in any of the previous films, too. On which note - Bruce's character was superbly realised, which is enormously satisfying after the near-total character-vacuum at the heart of the earlier Bat-films. "Drunk billionaire burns down home" made me laugh out loud, and the scene where he chases the party guests out of the house was brilliant.
I could have done with more Scarecrow, but loved the fact that he was still at large at the end - I'd like to see him play some role in the sequel, even if it's a fairly minor one.
On the whole, I'd have to say that if it isn't the best superhero film ever made, then I've missed out on something truly astonishingly good. I can't wait for the sequels.
yeah, its a fine film. i just didnt like holmes, some dull/teaching moments, the actionsequences. but besides that its very cool, bale, freeman and caine where great, some dialogue, the hypnose stuff, the desing of the elements and how he became batman. cool film :)
shame that the dvd just comes out next year in austria.

So, now they have unleashed Constanteen on the home viewing market along with commentaries from several of the guilty parties.
As a public service, here is a summary:
Constanteen is attempting to get to Heaven rather than Hell.
This is incontrovertably shown in the film. NO WAY OUT.
Constantine would rather go to neither, thankyou very much.
Constanteen uses weaponry from his holy arse-nal.
(Yes, some of these work better in the film than on paper, but you don't need me to tell you which one is a bag o' shite.)
Constantine might well get Chas to sort that sort of business out for him.
Oh, yes. Chaz. Wize-Ass Teen Sidekick. Best thing he does is die.
Just to make matters worse, it is reported that he comes back as an angel after the end credits.
Chas. Nuff said.
Constanteen: "God has a plan for us all, I had to die twice to find out".
Constantine:
Constanteen whines to Gabriel about having sent all them demons back to Hell, so God should be nice to him.
Constantine sleeps with demonesses (sorry, "extra scenes that were cut in a vague attempt to get a better rating DO NOT COUNT.)
Constanteen replaces his ciggies with gum.
Constantine smokes immediately after his demonic cure for cancer.
These are the obvious contrasts. I haven't even started on the film's own internal inconsistencies and weaknesses.
So please, feel free to post comments from any of the extras on your lovely crappy double DVD where the perpetrators try and absolve themselves.
my op:
in the dangerous habits tpb he drinks tea and whiskey with kim, but he dont lights a single cigarette. but still shyte that he quitted it in the film. but i think he wont be succesfull :)
oh and he didnt say he cares about gods will, just that now he knows that it exists :) (i had to die twice just to figure that out. some people like it, some people dont: thats not an opinion, just a statement :))
and i think it counts that there was a scene where he slept with ellie. and remember what he said to gabriel "you should go to hell half-breed" . no one said that he dont kills angels or hasnt got demon friends.
and i dont know what all that has done to the dvd?
