Official DARK KNIGHT RISES Trailer Released in HD, IMAX Movie Theater Here We Come!

Posted by mistergroonk in Movies, Trailers on December 19, 2011

Official Synopsis

Following the death of District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman assumes responsibility for Dent’s crimes in order to protect Dent’s reputation and is subsequently hunted by the Gotham City Police Department. Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, Batman returns to Gotham where he must discover the truth regarding the “enigmatic” Selina Kyle while stopping the villain Bane and his plans to destroy the city.

What We Learned: We now see how Catwoman, a jewel thief, fits into the Nolan’s Bat-verse. It looks like she’ll be Robin Hooding for us. Still don’t agree with Anne Hathway as the Selina Kyle/Catwoman but we’ll give her a go come summer 2012.

Why We’ll Watch: Why does it seem like Christopher Nolan is the only director left making movies that require you to be in an actual theater to experience the wonder of film? Why is that? Unless it has the time-consuming care of James Cameron or is an animated feature the 3D gimmick does nothing for us. This is how any movie of scope should be made. IMAX all the way.

When’s it coming? Scheduled for July 20, 2012. Summer you are so far away.

You Tuber Unlocks Another Level of INCEPTION Cool: Hans Zimmer’s Easter Egg Score.

Posted by mistergroonk in Interviews, Just Freaking Neat, Movies, Music, On the French on July 27, 2010

It turns out the slow, rhythmic bass that occurs at key points in INCEPTION (named by another YouTuber as the “BWONG!” chord)has interesting origins.

You Tuber camiam321 ran an experiment and found:

He took Edith Piaf’s “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” (which is used as a recurring motif in the film’s heist sequence), and slowed it down in Adobe Soundbooth by 300%. The result was a near exact match to the Zimmer theme.

Slightly spoiler-esque observations continue below the cut.

Tuesday Tease: Latest INCEPTION Trailer Explains Everything, And Everything Looks Damn Good

Posted by mistergroonk in Movies, One Sheets, Trailers on May 11, 2010

And INCEPTION turns out to be somewhat like we figured.

And we were very pleased with this.

What it is
Your dreams are the locked box and Leonardo DiCaprio is the criminal come to pick that box, rifle through everything you hold dear, and leave. You’ll never know he was even there.

At least, that’s our take on the trailer. Feel free to challenge this assumption.

What We Learned
Ideas are like parasites?

Can this be the same idea that, “a voice can just go somewhere… just hang out. Like a dirty thought in a nice clean mind. Maybe a thought is like a virus. It could kill all the healthy thoughts and take over. That would be serious.”

TALK HARD!!!

Why We’re Gonna Watch
Two reasons.

1) Mind-twisty goodness brought to you by the man who gave the world MEMENTO, THE PRESTIGE, andDARK KNIGHT.

2) A third act that remains secretive and is said will turn your brain into a tasty cruller.

We’d like to test reason number two. It really can’t be as obvious as the trailer leads us to believe.

Tuesday Tease: Chris Nolan Investigates Your Dreams, Releases INCEPTION Viral Video

Posted by mistergroonk in Marketing, Movies, One Sheets on April 27, 2010

In the following there is talk of Lucid Dreaming with just a hint of Psy Ops. Lucid dreaming is a subject with which we have strong affection. Psy Ops, well, research into that can lead to many a nightmare.

If this viral video for Chris Nolan’s INCEPTION is any indication, he’s looking to mix the two ideas into this much debated movie.

It looks like Nolan’s mixed real scientists with actors playing scientists in order to slow-build the anticipation for INCEPTION. This move is genius. Thankfully, because it’s Chris Nolan it doesn’t come off as half-assed as the efforts of THE FOURTH KIND turned out to be.
