And Pattinson? I don't see the big deal. Maybe my heterosexuality has something to do with it, but I think he's goofy lookin'.

Joshua wrote:He's goofy-looking in Twilight; I blame the hair. He's pretty damn handsome in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Joshua wrote:Twilight is not a good movie. I don't say that because it's teenage girl fodder, I could care less who the movie is aimed at. I say that on pure cinematic achievement and storytelling and it fails at every level.

Essentially what it boils down to is there is no conflict or any real problem for anyone to face. Edward Cullen is an immortal who is gorgeous to look at. He's intelligent and athletic and doesn't really have any problems. When Bella starts snooping around he finally confides in her what he really is, "You want to see what I really am?!" as if he's hiding some terrible dark secret. He then steps into the sunlight and becomes even more beautiful. That's his big horrible tragedy; he sparkles like diamonds. Okay, but he's hundreds of years old and still having to live the life of a teenage, that should eat at him right? I mean, that should provide some really cool duality to the character? Nope, as old as he is his personality is as old as his appearance. He behaves, thinks, and feels just like any typical angsty teenager. Meanwhile, Bella just moves to town and like most kids, should feel like an outsider and should have to overcome some sort of conflict. Being a teenager is tough and it's even tougher in a new place. Well, it is for the rest of us anyway. Bella is instantly liked by everyone.

The movie is about nothing more than these two people getting to know each other. What should be covered in a ninety-second montage is the premise of the entire movie. The point of a movie is for characters to overcome obstacles and to grow and change by the end of the movie. None of that occurs. They simply go about their teenage lives, briefly fight the so-called "evil" vampires (you know, the ones that actually do what vampires are known for doing), and then go to the prom. Oh, and there's vampire baseball. This is not a movie, this is simply an excuse for girls to gather together and swoon over Robert Pattinson.

Joshua wrote:To throw my two-cents into the Batman talk, you don't even need a popular Batman rogue. Based on the ending of TDK you could make the conflict between Batman and the city; he's on the run from the police, some people think he killed Dent, a small group still believes in him, and the entire time he is trying to fight the mob.

Personally, I think this could work as well as a known rogue, if not better. However, if we have to have an established villain, I'd say either Killer Croc or Black Mask. Both are easy to adapt into Nolan's universe without changing the character too much. Obviously, I'm thinking more circus freak Croc from TAS, rather than dinosaur from current comics. As for the public not knowing who they are, that's a weak argument. I highly doubt the public was familiar with Ra's Al Ghul, the Scarecrow, or Falcone. The best way to get the public familiar with these characters is to throw them in a movie.

Nolan has already stated he won't use Penguin or Robin, I'm unsure of him using Freeze, it doesn't seem like it would fit in his vision. Of course, I don't know how much it matters what Nolan has said he will or won't do since he hasn't even signed on to a third movie.

At this point quit pussyfooting around dude, you in or are you out?

The scene where the X-Men roll up on Jean's house, and they are walking towards it for a bit, a nice dramatic shot. The camera pans around, and as the AUDIENCE sees the evil mutants on the front lawn, that is when the X-Men react. Were they playing in third person or some shit?
