But, oh, why, god, why didn't they give the Lizard a snout?? He looks like shit without it! Give him a snout, and he would look badass!


I prefer it that way. It looks more like Ifans could actually transform into that. Plus it was like that in the comics.

Well the only aspect of this film I am interested in and excited about is the James Horner score.

The new trailer just confirmed this.

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

It's about a man who transforms into a lizard. Live a little, it's a damn movie, not National Geographic.

I'm sure it will be the most enjoyable score of the three.

It's about a man who transforms into a lizard. Live a little, it's a damn movie, not National Geographic.


If he's going to have to show human emotions the reason for his look is purely practical.

And I'm the one who prefer films being National Geographic-like, but this is like a fantasy tongue in cheek villain concept, not an actual lizard!

:rolleyes: as if i was dead serious... just a little more comic accurate (i take most of the different comic incarnations have some kind of snout that dont..)

so he grows an arm and a two meter long tail. yet his face can't be elongated a little to resemble more a lizzard.


anyway... beware when you critisize something. I'll be there to remind you that life goes on. :P

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate. - Christopher Nolan

I'm very much looking forward to the TDKR and TASM . Anticipation of the scores, however, is very tricky for me. I'm not crazy about Zimmer's and Howard's other two Batman scores. But I'll give Zimmer the benefit of the doubt. Since this is (hopefully) his last batscore. Maybe he'll actually go out with a bang. I'm not getting my hopes up though. I'm not ticked about Horner scoring this but I'm not excited about it either. Hopefully the film will at least provide some inspiration for him.

Back to the trailer it was cool and all but was unnecessary, imo. The second trailer showed enough. The third trailer gives away too much. I'm still looking forward to it, though.

Well, they made the trailer to look shiny, colorful and well-lightened to have all the BloodyBoals to donate their dollars(pounds?).

Hey, did I say that it made me want to go to the cinema to see the film? No! So, shut ya filthy mouth! Last time I wen to a cinema was like 30 years ago! Between 3D-only showings, kids eating popcorn, laughing every two damn seconds, people walking in front of you to go to the toilets, and all that shit, I'm done going to the cinema! Illegal downloading was invented for a reason, and that reason is providing me with films for free so I can watch it in peace, without people pissing me off! It only has good things to offer, so, why wouldn't I use it?

BloodBoal you forgot the final bonus track:

Are you sure its original music (I mean the clip starts off with the Da Vinci Code playing for some odd reason)? Well it probably is, for a minute I was sure it was A Beautiful Mind but it sort of deviates from that.

I've got two things to say about this clip:

1) The whole "tortured villain who believes he's doing the right thing" idea has been done so many times before. They're making it seem like he's this brilliant new kind of character and yet we've seen this kind of villain in so many films! And that whole "I don't know who my parents are" scheme is so overly cliche as well.

2) The CGI, effects and makeup look really bad...

Actually, they seem to be reenacting Batman Begins. Though both movies deal heavily with fatherhood themes.
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

I wouldn't be so facetious to call it 'original' but i expect it to be part from JH's score and as such it crushes the notion that he has deviated from his well-worn formula all too much.
