The last movie you saw...

[spudthedestroyer]

It was The.Chronicles.Of.Riddick.2004.DVDRip.XviD-DVL, I'm guessing that's normal. Think it was 'keep what you kill' by the looks of it, the throne bit?

Oh yeah, and where are those sniffer people ripped off of? Its bugging the crap out of me... I know I've seen it somewhere.

fascinating, I never liked spiderman 1 and 2 too much, but if you cut out 40minutes it would be around 87 minutes.
nice

1 was asking a bit much. origin stories usually are. one of the most successful 1st movies in a comic franchise was Batman, and Tim Burton didn't waste much time at all explaining how Bruce Wayne became Batman - he was Batman when the movie started, and there were one or two quick flashbacks (compare that to the drawn out flashback/origin story in Daredevil).

well if u want to be picky tim burtons batman wasnt the first batman movie as in 1943 they made "The Batman" which was actually the first batman movie in the form of the old cliffhanger serials that consisted of 15 or so parts, when all put together are movie length and in that "The Batman" is an fbi agent sent to Gotham City to stop criminals that pose a threat to national security, in this case a nipponese (jap) prince called Taka or something like that, and the batman has robin as normal but the batcave consists of a table in a cave with a couple of wooden chairs, and his butler, alfred is incredibly camp and obviously hes the comedy character, altho it is quite a good story if u can look past the 40s style effects and enjoy really comedy fighting scenes and all the unpolitically correctness of the whole thing, for instance batman at one point says "hhmm so theyre meeting during a coons hour" which presumably means at night when its dark like a well u get the idea

[spudthedestroyer]

the 60s one was the funniest... Robin! Throw down the Shark repellent Batspray!

[dinky]

ok. my bad. the 1st "Tim Burton Batman," aka: the first Batman of the modern film era. aka: the first one made since I was born.

[Jynks]

hmmm.... batman 104o serial... cool. Might haev a look around about that. cheersfor the heads up Max.

[maxpayne2409]

no probs jynks there were 2 made, The Batman (not to be confused with teh recently made series of the same name) in 1943 and also Batman & Robin made in 1949 (or thereabouts)) i have them both on dvd, the quality isnt too shabby either conciderig the source and age and the good thing is no-one can arrest u for it as its out of copyright (copyrights lasting 50 years of course) so anything made up to 1954 is copyright free

and spud yes the 60s one is good in its comedy way for all teh cheesey bat gadgets, i have seen that film many times lol but theres jsut something about the way batman in the 1943 version isnt all good, yeah hes an fbi agent who fights baddies but hes also a (what was known at the time as a) cad or a man about town, who likes the ladies and goes around stirring up fights in the most comedy shoddily made batman suit u have ever seen, and robins hair, it looks like hes been sat on an electric chair for 3 hours

im sure if u asked nicely i could be persuaded to possibly rip and release them at some point in the near future

:lol:

Everyone knows what you meant, max is just being awkward (if you want to retaliate he's wrong, it wasn't a 'movie' it was a series of serials the equivalent of a tv series before tv was big ). The movies are all split into mini series of films, so Burton's was the first out of the current, and this new batman film will be the first of a renewal of the franchise if I read the previews correctly.

Here's the 6 serials that made up the movie in 1943:
ed2k: [1943].batman.-.01.-.the.electrical.brain.[beldin].avi  [181.06 Mb] [Stats]
ed2k: [1943].batman.-.02.-.The.Bat's.Cave.[beldin].avi  [118.64 Mb] [Stats]
ed2k: [1943].batman.-.03.-.the.mark.of.the.zombies.[beldin].avi  [121.25 Mb] [Stats]
ed2k: [1943].batman.-.04.-.slaves.of.the.rising.sun.[beldin].avi  [123.27 Mb] [Stats]
ed2k: [1943].batman.-.05.-.the.living.corpse.[beldin].avi  [115.41 Mb] [Stats]
ed2k: [1943].batman.-.06.-.poison.peril.[beldin].avi  [113.26 Mb] [Stats]
ed2k: Batman.1943.-.00.-.opening.credits.[beldin].avi  [5.82 Mb] [Stats]

They are muxed together to form a movie, but they weren't shown like that, in their original format they were series.
Warning, its racist (both regarding 'coon' in regards to night and its propaganda value against the Japanese in WW2).
It's about 'zombies' though

ah but officially they are known as movie serials, and they played in cinemas thus they are movies, and dont try the "theyre too long to be movies" as when u think about it the star wars films are really just chapters in a long story, as are lord of the gay ass rings, or the shittrix

[spudthedestroyer]

official? There's no such thing since it is down to the dictionary definition of movie, and in the 'film' sense of the word, serials can't be movies, and in the moving picture sense, news, documentries, etc. are also movies which is just plain stupid.

They are referred to as Movie Serials because standard serials are comics, as in a a series of comics. Movie refers to moviing picture of course, which is no longer the modern usage of the word. The need to clarify the difference between serial and moving picture serial was more obvious when you had to go out to the cinema and see the series.

Serials aren't equivalent to modern movies, never were or will be, 'officially' or 'unofficially' (what ever thats supposed to mean). News broadcasts, serials, and cartoons were all shown at cinemas before TVs were common place. They were a means of presenting material in series form to people who would visit the cinema regularly, not an encapsulated movie as such. They weren't movies in each instance, if you want to be accurate, like cartoons and news broadcasts, or even nowadays in terms of trailers. They might be confused as movies if your being vague, but they certainly weren't, just like the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon serials weren't "movies" in the sense in which the word is used. The only way you can pass them off as movies is if you alter the definition of the word beyond its modern interpretation, to moving pictures, and then as said, cartoons and news broadcasts are movies too which isn't really fair.

Of course, I would place the serials in the movie section here if some one were to release, simply because they were never shown on tv or outside the cinema, and their obvious association with movies. But to be entirely accurate, they don't belond in that section, since they aren't movies and are just as placeable in the Series section (depending on the number infact, probably better placed there). I wouldn't really argue the case against placement in any section, but I would argue against someone claiming they were a 'movie' (like now )

Serials were not like modern trilogies either, that connection is not there. They are more connected with tv series, that being varying episodes aka. serials about an overall plot/background. See the Buck Rogers for example.

I love early cinema, there are some really great serials about the same time. The batman ones were okay, good for the propaganda / historical value.

Now stop nitpicking poor lemmiedinkywinks, everyone knew what he meant since it is the first of the current batmans (erm batmen? ).. mr I'll pick lemmiedinks nits

[maxpayne2409]

yes i was just incredibly bored at the time so i thought id nitpick and it was mildly fun lol

[spudthedestroyer]

btw, why do you have thomas the tank engine in your sig?

[maxpayne2409]

coz thomas the tank engine is the man... erm engine, plus im having a retro flashback to my childhood tv time recently (got he-man vol 1-5, ulyssees 31, visionairies and dungeons & dragons cartoon on dvd)

[dinky]

a flashback to last week?

some friends motivated me to see Alexander with them last night. full review is on FH. but suffice to say: it really is worse than Troy. In fact, Troy looked damn good compared to Alexander. But Rosario Dawson has some sweet boobies.

[maxpayne2409]

i watched Mean Girls last night mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lindsey lohan how i want to jizz all over your hot tatties
