Yo Stardust, I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but The Dark Night was the best superhero movie of all time.

Can't say where. It's not about making you people read my posts or pay attention to me antics.

It's company policy. I don't tell you guys who I work for and I can't make the company look bad. You already know the industry and there's damn few of us in this business. If I tell you the location, it's too easy to figure out who I work for, which my company frowns on.

That's weird. I don't tell you who I work for either, but that's because I don't want Madding to come to my house and take my kids.

Yeah, Cellphone radar was ridiculous. But I can forgive that because the Joker. Love that scene with the two boats and the prisoners with their detonator and the pencil disappearing act and "you wanna know where I got these scars?" and everything.

Everyone in this industry is pretty touchy with the internet security and public opinion. We're still dealing with Fukushima fall out (no pun intended).

nYeah, he made the movie great. Which makes it the best superhero movie of all time.

If you're going to fault little things like Cellphone Radar, then there is no superhero movie that can touch this one.

Yes there are. At least two: Batman Begins and The Avengers.

Okay, you're right, the microwave thing was pretty stupid. I guess it's just The Avengers left on top after all.

And that part where Batman is getting chased by the cops, so he turns off his lights and they're all like, "Where'd he go? Derp derp." Then he just decides to turn his lights back on, accomplishing nothing whatsoever. So good.

Yeah let's talk about the Avengers and how The Hulk can suddenly completely control his powers because it's convenient to the plot right now. Or how Tony can fall backwards through a wormhole when there's no gravity to pull him back. Or how one nuke on a mothership through a wormhole somehow kills every faceless soldier that's still on the planet. Or how through that whole last fight everyone's talking to each other without earpieces. Or any number of dumb things the movie does.

Anyway, the point is that every fiction has stupid little things where they talk about photons and phased arrays and mag lev and other mysterious magic, and that's all good. Suspension of disbelief is something we're programmed to do. When a movie goes too far, to the point where you pull yourself out of the story to say, "Huh? That's fucked up," that's a problem. All of the Batmans do this. The Avengers does not while still being extremely entertaining. :shrug:

Avengers is in my top 4.

Batman Beings, The Dark Knight rises, Avengers, and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

I also like the new spiderman movies, mostly because Spiderman himself was done right and the special affects are amazing. The villains have been pretty poop though :/
You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.

Beatdown is hard, though.
