DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

Did anybody ever hear anything about the guy who played Harvey Dent? He was in a handful of Season One episodes, and then was promoted to a regular in Season Two, but then only ended up being in one or two episodes. I've often wondered if all of the split personality stuff was intended for him, but then got transferred over to Nygma once he was gone.
 
I don't even remember Dent in Gotham TBH. Maybe they dropped him when they decided the series direction would be batshit crazy. :)

Nicholas D'Agosto went to NBC to star in "Trial and Error"

Wow, that's the part I disagree with the most. The Riddler isn't the Joker Lite. Jokes make you laugh, riddles challenge you to use your brain. The Riddler should be a cunning, calculating mastermind, not a ranting maniac.

I think their Riddler was partially influenced by "Arkham" games

was shocked to see Drew Barrymore, Ed Begley Jr., and Rene Auberjoinois were all in it, I completely forgot about them.

Rene was literally in only one shot. (And is dressed up to look like Tim Burton.)

The original cuts of the groundbreaking original trilogy? Yeah, people can be such dumb-dumbs sometimes. :shifty:

In high-def? One official copy of each film will do me fine. Let me know when it happens.

Let me know why this is so important. I've tried the whole "HD" thing and it makes me physically ill.

I just don't see the appeal for a film I have seen multiple times, can spot the matte boxes on tie fighters, matte lines on snow speeders, etc, etc. The story isn't changing so again, I ask, how many copies of the same story do I need? My dad has 7 copies of Star Wars! 7! 3 VHS, 4 DVD. What the hell!?

That would be a neat trick, considering that Batman Forever came out 14 years before the first Arkham game.

I was thinking similarly but couldn't remember the timeline.

I believe he was referring to Gotham, not the Schumacher movie.

With my home cinema projector, a properly mastered HD release looks like film. Non-HD...does not.

(While I wouldn’t presume to speak for you or discount your statement, I’m unable to conceive of any HD presentation that could possibly make one “physically ill” owing to the resolution of the image. Every commercial release of a movie on 35mm film (or larger format) has either matched or exceeded the resolution of consumer level HD display tech—going back 80+ years. If you have attended the cinema where projection was properly set up at any time since the 1930s, you’ve watched “HD”).

Since I am less savvy with the definitions I might be describing it poorly. Suffice to say that when I watched what I was told was HD on Blu-Ray it made me feel nauseous.

Theaters don't always do that, but it has happened occasionally. But, no doubt I am some ignorant philistine who simply doesn't know why there is this appeal of yet another release of Star Wars. My eyes are probably broken or some nonsense...:shrug:
 
I wonder if when you watched HD if they had artifical motion smoothing on. Some sets that are 120hz or 240hz use interpolation to artificially change the 60hz TV signal and morph the frames in between to achieve a higher frame rate. This can cause what is sometimes called the "soap opera" effect when it makes the motion appear unnatural.
 
How someone can live in 2020 and still watch sd is beyond me. Even DVD quality is borderline unwatchable for me. I mostly watch movies for the technical aspects, so I stick to 4k when I can.

When it's something even other Bat-Fans are willing to admit to, it's hardly "spiting on a dead man". And again, the MCU doesn't have any dead actors to exploit.

Again, you exposed yourself as one who will spit on a dead man / squeeze out homophobic "gay agenda" conspiracies and attack anything that was celebrated in a manner the MCU was not. Your crap has been picked apart by so many, that you are now tossing anything to the wall as an excuse and hoping it will stick. Clearly, it is not, and that is not going to change.

No, the only one who misinterpreted what I said as "Gay Agenda" was you. I was pointing out how the Academy knew they couldn't give him an award for Homosexual Love scenes without getting public backlash due to how controversial homosexuality still was back when Brokeback came out.

and attack anything that was celebrated in a manner the MCU was not.

When it's only celebrated because a dead man was exploited, it's something that clearly wasn't worthwhile in the first place.

Anyways, about Dent in Gotham they might have dropped him because the Producers realized that it didn't make sense for Dent to be THAT much older than Bruce. Seeing how they've always been close in age.

So Brokeback came out in 2005. You know Ellen DeGeneres came out in the late 90s right?

You're aware that "Philadelphia" came out in 1993, 12 years before "Brokeback Mountain," and Tom Hanks won an Oscar for playing a gay character... right?

It's laughable at best to suggest 2005 Hollywood wouldn't give somebody an Oscar for playing a gay character - including love scenes.

Yes, and it was quite the fuss back then too.

Did he have gay love scenes?

Yes, but it's true.

If he hadn't died, fans and critics would've been more willing to point out and notice the lazier parts of the movie and the pretentiousness.
