Edmilson 7,505 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Anyone else considers The Dark Knight Rises as pure Republican propaganda, portraying movements like #OccupyWallStreet as terrorists, and the police as saviors of the city? Also, that movie was released on electoral year in the US. For many reasons this is Nolan's weakest film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Those pretentious nihilistic Nolan movies may try to seem deep, but they really aren't. Are you comparing Bane to Occupy Wall Street? The real life movement was mostly peaceful, Bane wanted to kill people. It's real simple. Of course the police are good (Except a few bad eggs, which have been around since the 1989 movie) in Batman. Should they be evil? What the hell??

Edmilson 7,505 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Nolan would never do that, he is too fond of the theatrical experience to ever make something for TV. And WB wouldn't want to risk their partnership by just throwing onto HBO Max as if it was some sort of made-for-TV crap. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It's great. You're given a specific radio frequency to tune into, and the movie's audio just plays through your car speakers. The only issue is darker scenes are sometimes hard to make out. And you have to get there early to get a good spot. 9 minutes ago, Koray Savas said: I’ve never seen a drive-in theater anywhere. You guys are living in the 70s! There are about maybe 3 pre-existing ones around here, but they're very far apart. The closest one to me is pretty far up north.
