Dark Knight Rises - Now that we know the cast

Bale's voice is so annoying, it single-handedly destroyed the movie for me.  I don't care if it makes sense or not, it's not something I want to listen to.

This. I think it's a number of things. One Bale trying to disguise his accent while bringing up the gravel. Two, I want to put some blame on the cowl. It looks like they modified a scuba mask and it seems to have the same effect on the voice as one would. Very nasally and ugly. Combine the two and you have one of the worst voices ever.

Thankfully Dark Knight was the Joker's film and so Batman is not featured prominently at all. That I think saved it. No way Bale Batman could have carried it. I think we're in for a real perfect storm of terrible voices with this new Bane. Nolan must be partially deaf.

Kevin Conroy on Bale's Batman

Edit: I also can't express enough how much I hate his cowl. The designers didn't take into account at all how it looked on the actor. They can't have...

Video Games - a general discussion thread
Time

Been playing the last Aliens vs Predator. Pretty darn fun, very atmospheric with a storyline that fits in with what's been established (in regards to the Pred and Alien films, not the crap AvP films). The voice talent is pretty terrible though. =P Overall I really like it and I haven't touched MP yet but I did a little of that way back when they released the demo.

I'm looking forward to Aliens: Colonial Marines but it feels kinda like a step backward just having Aliens this time around. Hopefully it'll be cool.

Aside from that I just finished the first episode of the new Walking Dead game by Telltale. They really outdid themselves with this. Fantastic game and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season.

Last movie seen
Time

The Front Page (1974)

I started out wanting to watch The Odd Couple but Netflix has apparently removed it from their library. So instead I stumbled on this while looking around my queue. I enjoyed it. It keeps a nice pace and is filled with colorful characters. I also apparently have seen it before because I could vaguely recall what was going to happen near the end. Nice film.

It's just a very lame remake of the original! At the beginning, all the guys are down on their luck just like the 1st (but shouldn't they be heroes at this point? they did save the world after all and that seemed appreciated at the end of the 1st film...) There's an ancient evil that wants to consume our world just like the first. The hotel sequence from the original is replace by a court room scene, the marshmallow man is replaced by a walking Statue of Liberty I really could go on and on. It's everything shitty Hollywood sequels are known and loathed for.

I liked how the third sequel tied them all together. Or at least how it was supposed to. It was kind of ruined when Sigourney Weaver decided not to return until it was too late and they had already replaced her with Alyssa Milano. But you can still tell how the story was supposed to tie together with her.
