Batman Begins, Anyone?

[DennisMM]

I haven't got the BB DVD yet, since I'm comparing prices this weekend. Does anyone have the double-disc set and is willing to talk about it? Thanks.

That sucks that they only rent the halk-assed single-disc at Hollywood & BB

What do you want to know?

i'm waiting to buy it used from the local Schlockbuster. Schlockbuster is the worst video store EVER, but they really hook you up with the cheap sell-though used DVD prices...

yo, Dennis, in regards to your sig -- was that yer Lou Reed look? i actually thought thats who it was!

And of course, remember it would take 34,790 years to vaporize Gotham's water supply if one were to use New York as a model, using the most powerful microwaver laser on the planet (the free electron maser at the FOM institute in the Netherlands).

You can use it for free? IPAMPILASH at my own pathetic wit.

But is that conduction or convection heating? I think convection within the water itself but conduction through the pipes and boilers initially (don't start).

Extras are my interest. Are the documentaries cool? Is the enclosed special comic cool or just vaguely informative?

I don't buy used stuff from BB anymore because they discard things like the comic and other inserts. Learned this the hard way on the newer edition of The Silence of the Lambs.

[Adam Balm]

You know, the funny thing is the Kai was right in that the primary heating method in any fluid is going to be convection, but for conduction not to happen at all, you'd need to vacuum insulate each water molecule so they couldn't touch eachother. He could have won that part of the argument if he just said 'Yes conduction happens, but it's not the primary means.' which he didn't.

34, 790 years?

I might have finished writing this book of mine by that time...


...but then again, I wouldn't wanna rush it.




BTW Dennis, I like you're new Av + Sig. In the sig, you look like the teenage Kevin Bacon's, older, tougher brother.

I just extended my query and, damn if it wasn't right! You rock, Adam. And so, through convection, do I.

That's from 1983. I have always thought of that as my "love child of Lou Reed" photo.

Enough fluffing. Actually things to do.

[Adam Balm]

Yeah, I feel like I'm looking at one of FFC's Outsiders. The pic's definitely a keeper.

How come the microwave didn't vaporize the water in people's bodies?

[Keepcoolbutcare]

A friend bought it, so I haven't seen all the Bonus Material yet.

Since this friend is a female, I got a chance to watch "Shaping Mind and Body" which details Bale's transformation from emaciated (his role in the Mechanic)to buff. "Genesis of the Bat" was about the writing process; informative, and plays up the contributions of Goyer, who while being a terrible director, really comes off like one of us, a fanboy. I could be confusing Genesis with "The Journey Begins", one of those prototypical making of numbers. Informative, but typical.

Didn't get a chance to look at the booklet (yet), but she seemed pretty "meh" about it.

This was part of the original argument. It depends. I can't remember if anyone was directly hit by the microwave beam or not. I only saw the movie once in the theater and I haven't bought it yet.

Anyone remember?

I could do with watching that "Shaping Body & Mind" Doc seeing as that you guys think I look like Bale in the Machinist (I'm not that skinny) how long did it take him to get buff & would it be the sort of thing a THC addicted limey like me could achieve?

No. And they state that explicityly at some point, how the Mazer is pinpoint, and only works on what it was programmed to target.

That doc was funny Locke, 'cuz he just beefed up at first and scared the hell out of everyone involved with the project. He was just big, and they were wondering if he could even fit in the suit. Bale is really funny, doing some spot-on impressions, real down to earth. The stuntmen and trainers apparently love him, very dedicated to his craft, able to memorize the moves very quickly.

Yeah, I knew Kai was full of shit on that one. He kept claiming that they went right through the beam. What a complete waste of space.

I hope they include the deleted scenes showing all his hard work.


And the first costume test footage is interesting:

It's not every actor who's willing to fold up the deckchairs.

Zombie, Blockbuster previously viewed DVDs are going to probably just be the single disc, because that is what they are renting to people. So if you don't care at all (and i mean at all) about extras, go ahead and get this, but single disc is pretty much just the movie. If you want any extras you will probably have to buy the double disc set new...or on ebay or something.

[Bean]

I'm so fucking stupid, I thought the DVD would have special features. At least I got a sweet poster for my troubles.

Best movie this year so far is Batman Begins...
