/mtv/ - Music, Television & Film

Men at Work's 3rd album is a tragedy, but when performed live, every time, the songs really shine: Men At Work Mondays #3 "Man With Two Hearts"

Let us dedicate a thread to the awesome music of the 80s! Not the meh; the awesome! I'll start: Men At Work - Still Life (1985) Pic unrelated.

BATMAN by Tom Manciewitz >Originally, Mankiewicz had wanted an unknown actor for Batman, William Holden for James Gordon, David Niven as Alfred Pennyworth, and Peter O'Toole as the Penguin. A number of filmmakers were attached to Mankiewicz' script, including Ivan Reitman and Joe Dante. Reitman wanted to cast Bill Murray as Batman, Michael J. Fox as Robin, and Eddie Murphy as The Joker. >The original script was written by Tom Mankiewicz, an on-set writer for the Superman movies. It bores little resemblance to the final movie, and was made to keep the project alive as directors and creatives looked at it and either showed interest or passed it on. >The Mankiewicz script opens in Wayne Manor in 1960 when Bruce Wayne is ten years old. His father, Dr. Thomas Wayne, is running for City Council. The family, including Bruce's mother, Martha, and their butler, Alfred, are established in some gentle scenes demonstrating that young Bruce is a science whiz who has even created a hologram in his basement laboratory. >The family goes out to a movie to see the Audrey Hepburn film THE NUN'S STORY and afterwards the inevitable robbery and murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne take place while they're on their way back to the car. Joe Chill is the killer in this version of the movie, but he's depicted as a contract killer. >The reason Mankiewicz chose to open the film with the death of Bruce Wayne's parents, rather than build up to something this brutal and shocking, was to establish the reality of the film, which was the same purpose behind having Marlon Brando portray Jor-el in the first Superman film. He also wanted to show more of Bruce's time growing up after the murders took place to portray his growth, similar to Kal-El growing up in Smallville. >Rupert Thorne has Thomas Wayne killed in order to win an election bid. >Using a newspaper headline reference to Richard Nixon, we realize that it is now the early 1970s and one night Bruce encounters some street criminals (portrayed as typical biker thugs) who shoot a man in front of his wife and daughter. This is all too familiar to Bruce and he confronts the hoods and in a brutal fight scene he overcomes them. When Bruce realizes that the crime victim has died, it has a profound effect on him. Back at Wayne Manor, Bruce accidentally discovers a cave beneath the home, and the bats he finds in there inspire him and ultimately lead to him becoming Batman. >Batman's first appearance in the movie would have been an unconventional one, taking place in a subway train. >Silver St. Cloud was a major character in the script, as much of the script's storyline was based upon the Strange Apparitions mini-series. She would have been Batman's main love interest, working for a smitten but resentful Rupert Thorne. >The script also contained a party sequence at Wayne Manor, much like the final film. In this script however, The Joker would crash the party and rob all of the guests, ultimately humiliating Commissioner Gordon. The Joker is later revealed to be in cahoots with Rupert Thorne. >The Penguin would also have made an appearance in the film as a secondary villain, described as having a body temperature of 65 degrees and living in sub-zero temperatures. He would've been portrayed as more gaunt and thin than the usual portly rotund version seen in the comics. >Another sequence would take place on a TV game show. A contestant is in front of a huge slot machine which begins showing images of The Joker on the video screens until the real Joker bursts out of one of them and holds the contestant and the audience at gun point. The Joker then announces that from that moment forward, whenever the Batman makes a public appearance, a prominent citizen of Gotham City will be murdered by the Joker. >Bruce Wayne attends the opera and an imposter Batman attends the party as a set-up to ruin Batman's reputation. >Some people in the crowd jeer the Batman, which appears to make him angry, but Commissioner Gordon escorts him back outside. Rupert Thorne invites the Mayor to sit near him and we soon see that a huge chandelier is hanging above where the Mayor is seated, and one of the crystals contains a clear liquid. When the force of a sung high C causes the crystal to crack, the liquid leaks out, infecting the Mayor and his party who begin laughing hysterically—a typical Joker gag—and then abruptly die. >The real twist in all this is that the next day Rupert Thorne is appointed the acting Mayor. Batman is blamed for the deaths as much as the Joker is and Thorne brands the Batman a criminal. >This leads to a sequence in which Bruce questions his own effectiveness because now the image of Batman has been tarnished. >Dick Grayson would be introduced late into the script, complete with his origin where Bruce and Silver attend the circus to see the Flying Graysons perform. They are killed by the Joker, setting up Dick's transformation into Robin. >Dick Grayson is portrayed in his early to mid teens as opposed to his older depiction in Batman Forever. >Unlike the comics, Robin would take a crusade against Batman, as the Batman imposter also appears at the scene and is ultimately blamed for his parent's demise. He later discovers the true culprit and Batman's true identity as he discovers the Batcave below Wayne Manor after his adoption. >The climax of the movie would take place in a museum, where The Joker has kidnapped Silver St. Cloud. When Batman drops down through the skylight, his cape gets hooked on a giant prop. Robin would make his entrance and free Batman. While this is going on, Rupert Thorne would emerge and free Silver St. Cloud from where she had been bound to the giant typewriter ribbon. >When Silver sees that Batman is about to be attacked from behind, she warns him but inadvertently calls him Bruce. Thorne realizes the significance of this and goes to shoot Batman, but one of the thugs crashes into Silver and she accidentally falls into the line of fire and takes the bullet meant for Batman. >Batman goes after Thorne and uses a giant rubber band to spear Thorne with a giant thumbtack, which knocks Thorne into a giant pencil sharpener, which proceeds to grind Thorne up. After this, Batman returns to Silver to embrace her in her last moments. >The script ends with Batman standing on the top of a building at sunrise while Robin comes up behind him.

Marvel General: I love the Powerglove, it's so bad or After The Apocalypse Edition Previous thread ==> >>46850 Remember to use spoilers. Is it all down hill from here? Has Disney's Marvel cinematic universe set the bar too high? Will audiences ever reach peak super hero fatigue? Is anybody actually watching the Marvel television series?

Since nobody comes to this place anyways, what better time to make a new thread? Share the great and the valuable fan recordings and unreleased songs from the great musicians who lived at some point in history. To keep the FUN going, please refrain from posting links to material that is commercially available. I'll start with the overall greatest recording of the Radio KAOS tour by Roger Waters: https://mega.co.nz/#!n5oHBQ5Q!eBkiGSxvlNNaSIqkqL4D2FjMmjBJ9sMEMKfO6uAjuvM This is the original copy, and not a copy of it. It was released on a short-lived Harvested fan label.

Justice League will be just one film. Flash will be the comedic relief. Steppenwolf is the main villain, and just him. Lets see what happens.

/mtv/ General: Purple Rain Edition I started the last one off with the death of a musician, and this one unfortunately coincides with another.

Marvel General - The End of an Era Begins Here! Phase Three is the end of an era in Marvel films, in and out of the MCU: the X-Men film franchise will lose the only Logan it’s ever known after Hugh Jackman films the next Wolverine, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans will close out their runs as Iron Man and Captain America with Infinity War—Pt. II, and Infinity War itself will be the climax of a decade-long plan that turned Marvel films into box office juggernauts. And it all begins with Captain America: Civil War. Here’s the last trailer for the film—complete with the reveal of the MCU’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man: //youtube.com/watch?v=dKrVegVI0Us

Given that the trailer is finally out. ( //youtube.com/watch?v=w3ugHP-yZXw ) Its high time for Ghostbusters to have its own thread!

Don't think there ever was a thread about this, was there? Films from Europe, new, or old. Dubbed, or subbed. It doesn't matter. (animation goes to /co/)

DC General Edition 4 (You) http://collider.com/batman-vs-superman-review-early/ Someone who saw the movie early gives his thoughts on BvS. Sounds... not terrible, probably better than Man of Steel though not the critical smash hit WB would like it to be.

Hold on to your butt. Because the park opens tomorrow. Are you READY!?

Now that Star Wars is in the hands of the Family Friendly American Mouse Company™, how long until we get Blu-Ray releases of all the versions of the original trilogy? I mean the original theatrical releases, Special Edition 1997 theatrical release, and the DVD release. I watched the DVD edit first, and for that (and some other) reason(s) I prefer that one over all the others. However, I realize many other people grew up with different edits, and therefore think we collectively deserve ALL versions in 1080p. I think it is up to us to bug Disney until they give in. What do you think?

/mtv/ General: We Leaked the Trailer Edition The old one stopped bumping, and this image could've gone in either the DC or Marvel threads, so I figured putting it in a "neutral" thread would work better.

“Recut Trailers” Thread T’was looking through older threads, found this link again… //youtube.com/watch?v=DYYlYnT1CZg …and thought this would make for a good thread idea. I’ve been wrong before, though. (Image unrelated.)

Marvel General 4 Agent Carter got renewed for a second season, hooray. And it's going to take place in Los Angeles this time. Also a funeral scene has been confirmed for Civil War, but chances are it's not the one for Steve Rogers.

The rare, the out-of-print, the unreleased, the ridiculously expensive. If it's impossible, next to impossible, or just very hard to obtain, share it here. After all, if the above is true, you are not hurting anyone. I shall start with one of the greatest albums never released: https://mega.co.nz/#!KtgSnCwA!IKTcMF7btUehV4PGX_PCX-i8IEeVaxNxsBEkGuuTdEI

MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE, THREAD 2: NO STRINGS ATTACHED //youtube.com/watch?v=tmeOjFno6Do So, rather than save the hi-def release of the Avengers 2: Age of Ultron trailer for Agents of SHIELD next week, Marvel decided to turn the trailer leak to its advantage and released the hi-def trailer for everyone laaaaaaaate last night.
