General Movie Discussion - **please mark spoilers**

Bale ... Justice League ... anyone hear this strong rumor/light fact? Fucking love it!

[fernandito]

Yes, and I hope that they're simply that - rumors.

I mean, wouldn't having Bale back negate the significance of TDKR's ending?

Not to mention that Bale himself said he wouldn't come back unless Nolan was directing.

Plus, WB will probably want a younger Bruce Wayne so that he's in his physical prime during the new JLA movies.

Bad idea to bring Bale back. Feev is right, if you bring him back you lessen the emotional impact of the whole trilogy.

[Merlin1958]

Here's a thought. what if Bale comes back as the new "Alfred", so to speak, and Levitt is the new Batman?

[Still Servant]

JGL is my favorite current actor, but I just don't see him as Batman. The dude's just too small. He's listed at 5'10", but if he's 5'10' I'm 6'5".

It's "Hollywood". Sly is 5'8" and he's "Rocky"!!!!

[fernandito]

Yeah, I'd like someone a bit more physically imposing to be Batman. JGL doesn't have the frame necessary.

Merlin - instead of being the new Alfred, maybe he can be Old Bruce Wayne instead.

Of course. You knew what I meant, didn't ya? LOL

BYW, you want a "Cabinet position"????

I can't handle him being anything but Robin/Nightwing.

[pathoftheturtle]

Are we talking bout a Mask of Zorro situation?

Rocky ain't Batman and Stallone is built like a mac truck. No way JGL could put on that kind of muscle mass. Of course Sly probably used steroids.

In the last two weeks, there have been like four different guys either say to me that National Treasure is their favorite movie or just been talking about how good it is within my earshot.
No. Sorry, thanks for playing. That thing was awful. Laughable.
I thought that The Da Vinci Code was kind of dumb. Then they made it into a Tom Hanks movie and I was like, "Well, now it's extra dumb plus extra cheap." But obviously it wasn't dumb and cheap enough for Hollywood, so they made National Treasure. People thinking that's the best film ever just shows how messed up this country is.

[mystima]

It may not be the best movie in the world but it was one of those films that you went to, to see how they tied all of American History together as a map. Kinda like Tomb Raider. but then again I like movies that make no sense sometimes...lol

[Ricky]

I enjoyed both National Treasures. Granted, they're not Oscar-bait, but I think they're pretty entertaining. I think people forget that sometimes not every movie has to be a quirky indie drama produced by Harvey Weinstein.

[Still Servant]

Skip National Treasure and just play the Uncharted series on PS3.

Better production values, better writing, better acting. I could keep going.

[Roland of Gilead 33]

i love the national treasures as well. they are fun films. at least i think they are. there are films of course that Nic Cage has done that are better but those are fun films that don't take themselves seriosuly. and i agree i love the connections. the da vinci code is a decent film. i never read the books, but the 1st film was a good film but it's not one of my favorite films of Tom Hanks either. i didn't see the sequel though.

[mikka]

Wonder if any Saw fans are here on Movie Forums. I know a lot of people don't care for them but the series is among my favorite Horror series and I love it as a whole. For the time it was something creative and fresh, and while one can argue the series wore out it's appeal over the course of so many sequels, it's impact on the genre is definitely there.

Any Saw fans here, how do you rank all seven movies of the set in your order of preference? For me they go:


Saw II
Saw
Saw VI
Saw V
Saw IV
Saw VII
Saw III

[Jean]

I think we have a Saw thread somewhere...

[Empath of the White]

Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles movie is happening. There's set pics of Megan Fox as April, the Foot Clan, and the Turtles' actors in mo-cap suites and shells.

[Roland of Gilead 33]

i also love the "SAW" series as well. i just watched a film i hadn't watched in years. "Stargate' the (1994) film i have it on blu-ray i had bought like a year ago or so. and i never got around to watch it. my only complaint is when i watched it there were no subtitles so i had no idea what was being said by the aliens or the people, and only the characters from Earth who spoke english

i could understand. i don't remember watching that film in the past and not seeing subtitles, unless i have to turn it on before i start the film, either way if that's true that's fucking stupid. now i'm watching the pilot for the show. i have seasons 1-3 of the tv series. the original show may i add.

[pathoftheturtle]

I wasn't overly thrilled with that film. I saw it more times than I care to recall. I held it against all the TV shows for a long time. "No I don't want to watch that," I would tell my friends. But every time I would explain something that I assumed they did wrong, somebody would show me an episode doing that very thing well. So I have watched a lot now, altogether it's okay; still not the greatest of sci-fi series ever made, but not as boring as watching one movie repeatedly.

[Roland of Gilead 33]

fair enough, the film itself is a good film but when you get used to the tv show and have a completly different cast, it feels strange watching Kurt Russell be Jack o"neil. instead of Richard Dean Anderson. the show is a fun show to watch. some like it and some hate it. and that's fine ya know? there's plenty of shows out there that i can't stand and that people love for example i can't stand the show "The office' i thought the show was a piece of shit when i tried watching the show once. i dunno what season it was in to be honest. but people seem to fucking Praise that show.

my brother loves it, so does my 6 year old niece actually. so to each their own is what i say. another one i thought was shitty was My name is Earl. i tried to watch the 1st episode cause the premise isn't that bad of one. and i have been a big jason lee fan since "Mallrats came out.

but the show i found after watching it about 5 or 10 minutes as well was also really fucking shitty. yet people love that one as well. to each their own i guess. anyways.

as for the Saw series i also enjoy the hell out of those. and no i don't think we needed 7 of them but they are fun films. some are better than others
though.

[pathoftheturtle]

"My Name is Earl" give me mixed feelings, too. That's getting into General Television, though, I guess. Uh... Mumford (Lawrence Kasdan, 1999)! There's an entertaining movie that happened to have Jason Lee in it.
