Cool, thx. I'm not sure what it has on the back yet; the thing should arrive in the mail sometime next week.
I just tried watching 88 Minutes (awful) and it got me thinking - has Al Pacino done a decent movie this decade? I can't think of one. What's the deal? Has he lost it, has he decided to quite acting, anyone?
What if Alec Baldwin had been cast instead of Michael Keaton? Well you would have had a believable Bruce Wayne and not some wild-eyed freak that would never be taken seriously as a high society figure, that's for sure.
Forgive me if I already posted this recently, but are the indoor shots in the Godfather II ridiculously dark? Obviously it's an amazing movie, but I watched it the other day for the first time in HD and was surprised at how dark everything still was.
Thoughts?
Also no one adequately addressed the Pacino (and DeNiro) question. Is there a reason why they haven't been getting cast in better movies or better parts? I'm thinking they could both be filling the same kind of role that Nicholson played in The Departed. Yes?
Im going to watch Terminator Salvation tonight and it better be fuking good!
Guys, I've been working on a major "What If?" scenario regarding the entire Batman series. Yes, it's geeky as hell, but I may unveil it soon and see what you think. It'll have the theoretical cast, synopsis, director, and general explanation attached.
Kind of makes me want to remake my old "Fantasy Filmmaker" thread. Never quite figured out the best way to do it though. Would be something totally free-form and casual if it happened again, but it could still be fun.

Sounds interesting, but the third installment will wind up being a major letdown like in every other film saga (with the exception of LOTR).
You lost me at Tim Burton. I don't care what the story is focusing on, his style is too overt to blend well with whatever Mann began. Someone with a more consistent track record of solid films would make more sense. Hell, if it's coming out in 1995, why not use Fincher? He certainly knows how to do the twisted stuff. Seven came out the same year, and it's better than anything Burton ever made, or will make.
I know it was very well-received, but personally I felt what was fresh in Supremacy got kind of old by this film. I liked it, but I wasn't over the moon.
And I also like the first film the most.
God, cannot believe I forgot about Fincher. I guess I left him out because of Seven, but Mann's filmography can be skewed a bit, so can Finch's. Good call, holy shit. Apart from that, what do you think of the story, casting, etc...?
I can't believe you agree with me. And what's ironic is that you cast Spacey in the villain role and Seven still didn't come to mind!
I like what you've done very much. And Burton would certainly give things some visual panache. But I feel he it would also undo the aesthetic that Mann would bring to the table, whereas Fincher would be able to move things from the hyperreal to the more distorted vibe of the next two films with more subtlety.
Arkham Asylum is one of my fav graphic novels, so I'm definitely on-board with that. And to get back to Burton, his imagination is a bit too sanitized and high school goth for me; it's dark in color only, never dirty enough to suggest something truly disturbing. Whereas Fincher took a real world setting and showed things slowly slipping into chaos and madness.
This lengthy discussion about Batman has left me with one question: did someone remove all the porn from the internet?
