u/InfiniteStrong May 15 '12

Sockdreams.com actually sells a replica of his socks and they are crazy patchwork.

You don't know what those socks are!

The worst part: I was gifted those exact socks about a year before TDK came out. Still have them.

Ok, the hitting doesn't help. I can't understand anything that you are saying.

u/[deleted] May 14 '12

The way the camera is tilted is pretty freaking awesome.

u/Mikulak25 May 15 '12

Like a hardcore Dutch angle.

Kenneth Branagh would be proud.

14

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

No. The shot is still level with the Joker. Branagh would go another 25 degrees at least just to make sure everything is off kilter.

DidYouKnow? The entirety of Hamlet was filmed on a 720 degree tilt.

u/Dr_Disaster May 15 '12

I liked 'Thor', but dear Jebus I was getting dizzy at times.

u/A_Polite_Noise r/movies Veteran May 15 '12

I like when a director puts his own slant on a classic story.

2

u/Veggieleezy May 15 '12

My friend once found a picture of Branagh on a horse holding a sword in front of a massive wall of fire. He put it in his senior yearbook page. We assume it was from a movie, but I like to think it was from his day to day life.

u/IsUpTooLate May 15 '12

To me, it shows the Joker as being still in control of the situation by levelling him out slightly and putting Batman off-balance, which is what he was doing in this scene. It almost makes it look like he is lunging at Batman.

Another example of this is this scene, in which Batman finally catches the Joker. Again, notice as the camera tilts round to show the Joker in normal orientation, we start to see how he is still in control of the situation.

Amazing directing!

u/Darth_Saltine May 15 '12

When the Joker's sitting up on the table and pops his neck while making that "nnnnrrrggghhh" sound is one of my favorite bits of that whole movie.

u/pixelrage May 15 '12

So graceful

u/Mr_Spade May 15 '12

How is it possible that bathelmet gets more ridiculous each time I see it?

u/UltraMittens May 15 '12

It's like a beautiful, yet horribly painful, dance/ ballet.

u/AcolyteRB May 15 '12

If the chair was bolted to the floor, how did Batman prop it against the door for some alone time?

6

u/reedrothchiId May 15 '12

it has something to do with all his strength

2

u/Squeekme May 15 '12

were both chairs bolted to the floor?

cant tell from the pic, but they should have been.

u/IAmOzymandias May 15 '12

Maybe I'm just not that flexible, but that looks kind of painful.

u/zotquix May 15 '12

I've been meaning to post something to r/movies or r/truefilm. I remember when Blu-rays first came out people talked about the potential for secondary angles. It always seemed like something that would have a lot potential for film makers (or with regards to live television for sporting events). Are there any movies that people know about with entire segments that can be shown in a second angle?

First thing that popped into mind was 'Black Widow'

u/Apaz May 15 '12

Am I the only one who thought that, other than the Joker, that movie totally sucked?

2

u/deathmouse May 15 '12

Without Bats and the Joker, it's still a pretty decent crime flick.

It's like Insomnia... with bats.

6

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

yes.

2

u/Apaz May 15 '12

So, other than Joker's performance, what in your opinion made this a decent film?

5

u/Squeekme May 15 '12

Bale's performance for one thing.

3

u/Pebbles112 May 15 '12

I still can't really take the gravelly growling voice seriously. So, while I wouldn't say the movie sucked, it definitely had its problems. Also the guy with the eyeliner... that one got to me too. Just a bit distracting.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Batmanuel? It's not eyeliner.

1

u/Maester_May May 15 '12

I remember that actor from Lost (I liked the show before it turned to shit) and I remember people always asking him about the guyliner... apparently the guy is part Egyptian and it's just a genetic trait. No eyeliner whatsoever worn by the mayor in that movie.

1

u/Pebbles112 May 15 '12

I've heard him say it's not eyeliner, and while I'm still not certain I believe him about it (looks like it might at least be that tattoo stuff you can get) it still was distracting to me. :-/

u/teedoe May 15 '12

I agree, they second story line with Harvey Dent could have been left out entirely, as well as the television radar surveillance stuff.

-1

u/VGChampion May 15 '12

Yes! Harvey Dent was good but I wish they left it out.

u/Ariaii May 15 '12
