THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Pre-Release Thread - Page 53

Maybe I'm misreading people talking about the ADR but you do understand that all of Bane's ADR would have been recorded clean with effects added after, right? There would be no need to re-record any of Hardy's work. It's why they can release a new sound mix so easily and quickly. They tweak the plug-ins and ta-dah new DIA mix!

EDIT: Didn't see Renn's post.

I'm beginning to think this ongoing saga about Bane's voice is some sort of viral marketing that's spiraled way out of control.

Viral marketing that makes as much sense as the movies main antagonist. Brilliant. 

Does viral marketing ever make any kind of sense?  It's all flash and wow nonsense that doesn't mean anything other than brand awareness.

If all the sound is put in after the fact, effects, music, etc, then they don't have to clean up Hardy's voice. Just turn the fucking background noise down a notch. If it weren't taking place on a loud plane this thread would be about 50 pages shorter.

A... D... R...

 

A DarkKnight Rises

 

A crummy misdirection? Sonuvabitch!

 

 

The dude sounds like he's swallowed a scarf.

Not in the trailer though.

I guess, but consider this, 90% of the film is going to have loud music blaring away and sound effects* alongside Bane's dialogue, and coupled with that partly digested scarf, it will be a somewhat frustrating time at the movies.  It was kind of amusing watching the prologue and knowing nobody in the cinema could understand a word of what Bane was saying, and the argument that its on a plane with wind blowing and guns firing, frankly doesn't wash, because we could hear Carcetti's dialogue just fine.

 

Anyway, sorry for continuing the discussion about Hardy's voice, I know it's getting old now.

 

* I've been watching extras on the Alien anthology boxset, and felt relieved to hear Jerry Goldsmith complain about how most modern movies always have music through most of the running time and how directors just don't use silence anymore.

The Dark Bear

 

"I won't steal your honey. But I don't have to keep it here."

He was not the honeybear we needed... but the honeybear we deserved.

"You traveled the world... Now you must journey inwards... to what you really fear... it's inside you... a rumbly in your tumbly..."

Nobody's attempted a bear-voice yet? I'm not upset, just disappointed.

"It's BATMAN the BAH-YERRRRR!!!"

 

Soon my little box will be on countless TVs around the world. Feeding me credit card numbers, bank codes, sexual fantasies, Batbear. Victory is inevitable.

You mean SEX---UAALLL fantasies.

 

*Thrusts hips*

 

 

Horses have hips?

They do when it's Riddler-horse!

"BATBEAR!!!  NAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"

I'm trying to make some joke with "SWEAR TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!", but it's not coming out.

 

Something something RATTLE THEIR CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It's not who I am, but WHERE I POO that defines me."

"You'll hunt me.  You'll condemn me.  Set the dogs on me.  Because that's what needs to happen."

"You never learned to mind your surroundings! " - Batbear

BEAR TO ME!!!!!!???

The Palins frighten me.  It's time my enemies shared my dread.

-Tell your men they work for me now. This is my city.
--They won't work... for a BEAR with herpes!
-Bear? Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches, hmm? And then we'll see just how loyal a hungry dog REALLY is! It's not about money... its about sending a message. Everything burns!


Also somehow I found this song from Batman Begins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLbEf3OrrnA
Did it ever get a proper release? I'd like to find a complete score without all the fx in the background.

(Totally semi back on topic, when I remembered some lines in my head, Heath really knocked the role out the park. I know common sense, but he really made the role his own.)

Chris Nolan said to EW: "I think when people see the film, things will come into focus. Bane is very complex and very interesting and when people see the finished film people will be very entertained by him."

Christopher Nolan: Professional Dodger of Questions. Seriously, I've read / watched enough interviews with the guy to know that he is an absolute master at that. He'll give this really elegant, substantive reply, and soon after he's finished, you realize he didn't actually say anything at all.

Cue the hate-talk about the Batsuit!

 

With the possible exception of the two different color tones, it looks exactly the same as the suit from TDK, so can't imagine anyone bitching that didn't already get it out of their system in 2007/8.  Still, this is the internet.

I think you're right, on both counts.

 

I'll be getting the hard copy of the magazine. I still have the post-release EW from summer of 2008 with TDK's success as the cover story.

Oh hey look, news we cover.

Sorry, Renn. I liked it on my FB feed to make up for not giving y'all a heads up.

Saw Hardy in Stuart: A life Backwards last night.  He plays a very broken man who's reaction to a horrific childhood essentially turned him into a sociopath, unable to control the rage when it comes on (what he calls his "black mist").  Based on a true story, I'd highly recommend it.  

Anyway, Hardy plays Stuart as a mumbling, shambling man, who makes involuntary noises even when he's being quiet.  And even though you really had to concentrate to pick up what he was saying he was absolutely mesmerising and just dominated the screen.  This was pre-Bronson so he didn't have any of the physical bulk, but his presence was huge.

So after seeing that I have no worries about Bane at all.  In fact I hope he kind of plays him like Stuart because that would be a fascinating take on the character.

 

In the trailer did anyone else get chills when Bane says, "Imma sine your pitty on the runny tine!"?

Wow... Cumberbatch too?  That film was a predictor of the rise of TWO stars!

When Gotham is in ashes, you have my permission to

SEPATOWN.

 

DON'T BANE THE DILLIES!!!!

 

 

it's a cracking little film, both of them are brilliant in different ways in it

Interesting article discussing Nolan's take on the Batman, and the author seems to conclude what we've been discussing for years: that Nolan is actually showing us Batman is a failure, albeit a noble one. (TDKR may change that, but I think TDK makes a powerful argument that Batman's presence actually makes things worse rather than better.)

They're calling Batman's flying vehicle simply "The Bat." Odd.

The Bat...and The Man. 

Don't hate the suit (even if it is a tad busy), just the damn photo. What is it with these friggin EW covers and unflattering pics? And I thought WB owned them???
 

 

 

Auteurism at its worst?
