Woah man, nice work. Definitely like the sound you’ve developed.

I got tired of people calling me effeminate, so I hit them with my purse.

Update

First color pass looked good in vegas…looked like a turd burger in the finished file, so I’m re-rendering it. Wish me luck.

When I buy beer, I tend to go for very robust beers. I usually don’t get along with pale, light, or the average American pisswasser that plagues every local bar or kegger. I love American beers, don’t get me wrong. Shiner, Samuel Adams, Deschutes, and many others are ones I go for frequently. I just don’t get why people like bud or coors. It’s drinking sparkling water, with a hint of beer.

Like coffee, the darker, stronger, and heartier it tastes, the happier I am. I don’t have one single beer I consider master of them all, and I rarely will buy the same beer twice, because there’s a lot of craft beers out there, and I always like to see what’s out there.

I haven’t had beer in while, because no matter how hard I seemed to work and sweat, I would stay the same weight, so I had to cut beer out. Now it’s an occasional treat for me. I don’t even touch soda anymore, because it doesn’t taste very good, when you’re not used to drinking it all the time.

Caffeine and anxiety don’t mix well for me, but I’ve been drinking coffee so long, and at such a high rate, it would be like coming off heroin for me to quit. I quit cigarettes with little effort, but coffee is another matter.

Didn’t see a result from this in the searches, so either it was stated in Klingon, or the poster was completely smashed by the time they decided to start the thread, misspelled horribly, and completely forgot about the whole affair upon sobering up. If that is the case, I’ll gladly take a link, and this thread can die along with my hopes and dreams.

Don’t care if it’s tea, water, wine, the blood of your enemies, etc. Are you listening to music at the time? Do you have a podcast playing? Are you trying a new beer? Give it a review, do what you want.

Whatcha drinkin’

For when I’m feeling the drinking bug, it’s a small glass of Evan Williams black label bourbon on the rocks.

I’d go into more detail about it, but I’d sound like an advertisement. It’s getting a bit ridiculous to go to the liquor stores these days. You’ve got these kids that have been drinking, maybe 2 years, and they give you a long spiel about why you should by the 100 dollar bottle on the top shelf because it’s old. I’ve drank an aged scotch before, and I don’t think the flavor was worth an extra 60 dollars. Anyways, didn’t mean to turn this into a rant…yes I did.

Anyway, here’s a beautiful picture of booze:

During my long hiatus from the boards, I added a lot of games to my n64 collection. A lot of them were repurchases, because I had shady-ass friends that liked to pocket my games when they came over during my childhood. I’ve got more than I feel like counting at the moment. There’s still some games I’d like to get, but they aren’t going for cheap enough.

In The Lap Of The Gods - Queen

Yes, I remember that. Never watched it. The only one I’ve seen is the Dwight Fry Descent Into Mystery cut, which I was a part of the discussion during it’s creation. A lot of my ideas were formed around the time, and I think Dwight’s work was great… I just feel that too much was cut, it’s not HD, and there’s a look I want to go for. I’m a huge fan of the animated series, and if I could get the city of Gotham to be more like that series, I’d be happy. If I had the skills, I’d replace the cars with 30s cars, the buildings with Art Deco buildings. Just really pump up that noir vibe that Batman deserves.

Oh wow, nice.

Best : The Man Who Laughs inspired Joker

Worst : This abomination

The last truly solid Ozzy album. He had some amazing songs down the road. I’d almost say Bark at the Moon was the last great album, but it’s not really as solid. Jake E. Lee was as capable a guitarist as Randy, but I think it was a steep decline for Ozzy.

Randy Rhoads was really letting loose on this album, and cementing himself as more than just another Eddie Van Halen. Randy had that perfect mixture of the shredding Van Halen with the brooding qualities of Tony Iommi. There was nothing candy coated about it. It was both ferocious and disciplined. Blizzard was a great album, full of great guitar. Randy was just getting started with that album. Diary was so much improved, I can only imagine what the next album would’ve been like.

Half a decade ago when he pissed Rick Pitino off repeatedly on television.

Long time, no see. Mostly I’ve been gone due to work and having recently built a new computer. Now I’ve managed to finally get some free time and I’ve been juggling around the idea of this fan edit for a while.

I’ve gotten into a bit of a Batman obsession as of late. The Tim Burton film was always something I enjoyed. My only problem with the film is how dated it’s become. Most notably, the Prince soundtrack. I like a good Prince song as much as the next guy, but I don’t think it suits the film very well. I’ve been toying with different pieces that can replace the Prince songs, and luckily, there isn’t much dialogue that goes on during them.

The next thing is something I’ve been messing with for the better part of a decade, and that is the coloring. The thing I love about Tim Burton’s films is his odd uses of color. Batman Returns got more of that treatment than Batman did. What I’m proposing is possibly going borderline Sin City with coloring, without over blowing it. I’ve started an initial color pass on the film, which will finish rendering in the next day results coming soon.

I’m willing to take suggestions, but keep in mind, I can’t do much in the way of effects work. I’ve also decided that I won’t blend Batman Returns with this film, and am considering doing that film later if this goes smoothly. I’ve been debating on adding elements from the film Dark City to the film, possibly for random city shots, just because I feel like that film did comic book Batman as a non-Batman film, better than any official Batman film. This edit will also use elements from The Animated Series, mostly coloring inspiration and the soundtrack where needed. I might even add elements from the Schumacher Batman films. Got to find something useful in those turds. I haven’t watched them in about 40 years, so I might be wrong.

{Updated}

-Extreme color makeover (Might not be everyone’s cup of tea)

-Trimming up of the intro scenes. Possibly just starting with the family walking into the alley. I don’t think we needed to 5 minutes of them trying to get cabs.

-Trimming up of romance aspect. I don’t hate it, it just takes me out of the fact that I’m watching a Batman film

-Removing as much blatantly 80s stuff as possible.

-Trimming of any scene with Knox. We get it, he’s an obnoxious reporter.
-Cut visual of Bruce’s recording equipment. We see that he’s spying later, we don’t need to see the cheesy VCR.

-Make Batman’s escape from Axis chemicals less clunky. Mostly because the awkward rubber suit. He’s Batman, he should be stealthy.

• Michael Keaton will not be hanging upside down after sex. Cut bedroom scene altogether.

-Cut Bruce placing roses on the spot his parents died. Forced drama is forced.

-Debating on cutting news report with the bad hair and facial sores. I don’t mind it, but…

-Trimming and re-scoring of art museum scene. (surprise for any who watch it)

-Trimming of escape scene. And Vicki ain’t no 108 pounds.

-Either trimming or removing Batcave sequence with Vickie.

-Might consider cutting Joker being the killer of Bruce’s parents. I don’t mind it, but willing to consider it if everyone else is bothered by it.

-Replacement music in parade sequence. Something orchestrated and more fitting for a maniacal villain. Willing to take suggestions here. Was looking into unconventional arrangements of Entrance of the Gladiators, was also digging into the soundtracks themselves.

-Trimming tower sequence to remove goofy elements from Joker’s henchmen.

-Will think of more, and will take suggestions

Diamonds was the first of the Connery Bond films I saw, and I loved it. I still enjoy it quite a bit, but after seeing the first 3 Bond films, it does pale in comparison. Though I still like it better than Thunderball.

I haven’t seen the Ocean’s trilogy, and don’t plan to at any point. This is about the 1960 version.

I love the Rat Pack, and I’ve always felt that Ocean’s 11 was a neat film, but I feel like there wasn’t a naturalness to the film. What would it take to make the film a little more alive. A film set in vegas with the rat pack should be the coolest thing on the planet. There were some really cool moments, but it just comes across as too clean cut for the rat pack. Obviously not much can be added, beside different music in places, and this is coming from the biggest Nelson Riddle fan on the planet. Basically things would have to be taken out. Maybe some of the more silly moments. I feel that everything starts to shape up when they actually hit Vegas, and that many of the weaker moments happen in the early scenes.

So a more streamlined Ocean’s 11. What needs to go, and what needs mo’?

I love Sony Vegas. It’s fairly self explanatory, and anything you could possibly need help with can be found on the internet. It’s a little pricey, but not 4 figures.

I’ve been so used to working with primitive equipment, that now that I have a good computer, I feel like I can blaze through an edit.

Nicely done, I quite like the retro vibe from it. It reminds me of the hours I played Vice City. I also like the pacing of your edits.
