Watched this last night on Netflix. Outstanding documentary, tough to watch if you have any sympathy for animals.

Finally saw Men In Black 3 about a week and a half ago. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised: Good action, funny lines, and a great performance by Josh Brolin as the younger Agent K.
Nothing hugely special, but it was a fun summer popcorn flick. I'd rate it a solid 4/5.

Season of the Witch.
Terrible cheesefest with a lame "gotcha" ending. I should expect no less from mainstream nick cage these days. He was so much cooler in raisiing arizona and moonstruck, this crap blows
Hannah was actually pretty good. A mystery/action flick with some good laughs at the expense of british pop girls
God Bless America was pretty horrible. the paralleles to todays crap pop culture were cute, and the idea of killing people who deserve it is very dexterish, but the movie was full of sopabox speeches and that crap gets old real quick. way too preachy and factually iannacurate
now off to watch The Other Guys, which will probably be better than the aforementioned 3 movies put together

Meh, making jokes about somebody who just lost his son isn't the only thing not funny about Batman, what a horrible tragedy in Aurora
The new Batman definitely suffers from the trilogy curse plus the old Batman movie issue of an unceasingly expanding list of characters and the contrived storyline and hokiness that accompanies it. Interestingly enough, I thought the new movie would suffer from not being able to replicate Ledger's Joker, but Bain and the actor who played him is a great character in a completely different way.(Although his eventual demise is a bit anticlimactic.) I left the theatre wanting more in the same way that I couldn't get enough of the Joker. It is story elements that bring the movie down.
All that being said, by itself the movie would be a solid offering. Following The Dark Knight, it is a huge letdown.

It's Bane, why do you hate Romney ;)
I'm never generous with praise, but TDKR is awesome.
Favourite scene, where Batman finally kicks Bane's butt.
The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
One thing I never understood while watching the new Batman:
In The Dark Knight, the Joker has Batman pinned down, and Batman shoots the...spike things out from his arm, injuring the joker and forcing him off. Even during his first encounter with Bane, he had to have known that the mask would have been some kind of weak point. Why didn't he just shoot the spike things at him this time? Or, in the final fight with Bane, when he knew that Bane was going to end millions of lives, why didn't he at least use the spike shooting mechanism to severely injure (but not kill) Bane? It seems to me like a simple and obviously possible solution.

The blade/spike things on his gauntlets appear to be an emergency button for sticky situations. He did not seriously injure the joker. He merely cut him and then pushed him off.
Plus Bane is supposed to be a lot more durable than the Joker. A few cuts wouldn't have stopped him.

fair enough. but he did use them when punching toSpoiler Alert, click show to read:

You're thinking way too much, and the whole trilogy falls apart when you do that. Why didn't anyone ever think to just shoot Bane anywhere on his totally unprotected body? All the super fighting skills in the world aren't going to stop a bullet. There are about a hundred more sensible options to deal with pretty much every situation any of the characters find themselves in. Just try to enjoy it as it is presented, and mind thepotplot holes.

Evil triumphs because good is dumb.
Anyway, I liked TDKR. I'm willing to suspend disbelief for some of the plot holes and nitpicks because they weren't that bad. Even though it's a more realistic take on Batman than the TV show from the 60's, it still exists in a comic-book world. Sometimes things happen because it advances the story rather than it strictly follows laws of physics or something.

I think it was the best Batman yet, though I liked the Joker far more as a villian.

I really like that actor; you should check him out in Bronson.

Are you thinking of Ray Winstone? Pretty sure Tom Hardy was not in Sexy Beast (a film which I dig, BTW).
Did an IMDB check, Tom Hardy was not in Sexy Beast, which is not surprising, since that film came out in 2000 and Hardy doesn't have any credited roles before 2001.
That said ... everybody should watch Sexy Beast and Bronson.
I must be on crack. I wasn't even looking at names. I thought Ray Winstone was Bane for some reason. Must be the mask. Why did I think he was in batman, was he a villain in another movie recently???? They don't even look alike. Senile

What an actor!
Whoring yourself for cheesy commercials is no worse than whoring yourself in terrible movies. It's better, I would say, because it is shorter work weeks and you get endorsement money, and eventually, the terrible commercial will go away. Movies, meanwhile, are forever:
