This movie is about meteor/space object hitting the earth. This is what i remember about this movie. This movie is not very old. Perhaps around early 2000's There's a scene of a woman scientist which stated that all the paper in the world is not enough to make the calculation about the meteor/s...

Uhm, so my nephew informed me that the Bane character in Batman & Robin actually was portrayed more accurately than Tom Hardy's Bane in The Dark Knight Rises because of the venom stuff that is pumped into his brain that helps give him his strength. Wut? Also, that Bane was born in Mexico and his father was a Dr. This superhero stuff is so confusing. Ugh.

that's pretty much accurate.

except I don't remember his dad being a doctor.

Oh, I thought that he was just messing with me.

I was going on how stupid Batman & Robin was and he was telling me that they were more accurate with Bane than in The Dark Knight Rises. I seriously thought that he was joking ;)

and technically, he was born in a fictional island in the Carribean

not mexico

but it's got a spanish name, so close enough

Aha! So, I can come back with him on that! Awesome! ;)

in the current era, bane's father was a political prisoner who escaped, so the government put bane in prison in his place.

but those comics didn't start until after they'd filmed The Dark Knight Rises, so it probably doesn't count.

I'm not sure how much different his old backstory was, but the basic idea is the same

2:42 AM

...and Bane escapes the asylum in Gotham, in turn freeing a bunch of villians and then he ends up teaming up with Batman to prevent "venom" from being distributed on the street?

i dunno about that.

the storylines in the movies rarely come straight from the comics, they're usually bits and pieces from lots of different stories.

Yeah, and I know zero about the comics, so I always just take whatever the movies say as what the comics say. Hence my 20+ year belief that Jack Napier was actually the Joker this whole time from Tim Burton's Batman ;)

and that Jack Napier was the killer of his parents. Ugh.

he did fight other villains a lot, but i see nothing about him teaming with batman.

but I have not read nearly as much DC stuff as Marvel stuff, so it's possible.

Hmmm...I will have to ask him where he got that from. Is it Dizzle who is the DC person or is it Ankit?

i don't think either of them are big DC comic guys, not sure.

thaddeus would be the one to ask.

but he's been AWOL a lot lately.

2:58 AM

Okay, no biggie. Thanks :)

DC wikia says there was a storyline there Bane thought his father was Dr. Thomas Wayne... Batman's father.

and Batman helped him figure out the truth and get him off the Venom drug and start over.

I don't want you people thinking that I am actually into this stuff or anything :P

(his father was not really Dr. Thomas Wayne)

Batman's father was a Dr.?

a surgeon, I think.

3:01 AM

I thought that he owned Wayne Enterprises.

he inherited Wayne Enterprises from his dad, but he became a surgeon too

jfc

:P

3:32 AM

Wait. Lemme check my email. I am subscribed to Thaddeus Medium Digest thing that he writes on about that stuff...

Batman's father made a better batman than Batman did.

When Barry Allen fucked everything up with time travel

Why? What did his father do?

Bruce was shot instead of MA and PA wayne. MA went crazy and became the joker

Okay, are you trying to confuse me? ;)

Yo-yo vs Batman (Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox)eng

And Dad raged out, beat Joe Chill to death with his fists, turned Wayne Enterprises into a Casino like Atlantic city, became an alcoholic over grief for bruce, and became the Punisher really shooting every bad guy. And he uses the Bacardi bat as his logo

He's pretty awesome.

Nope, this is 100% legit.

And technically, it's going to be part of the Flash season 3.

Watch the Flashpoint Paradox animated film. They adapted the Flashpoint comics pretty well.

Flashpoint Batman (Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox)

3:41 AM

Uhuh

:P

My brain hurts now.

As far as Bane goes, his cartoon version was pretty boss. Both a hitman and luchador, he tracked down Batman with his intelligence and then fought him on Venom. He wasn't a brain dead grunt like in B&R, or the non-steroid pawn knight from DKR.

Wasn't he super intelligent and spoke several languages and stuff?

But DKR did do the Knight fall event that Bane is most famous for, breaking Batman's back. The movie bane was a let down in both movies tho

Did Bane actually blow up the ~~Pittsburgh Steelers~~ Gotham Rogues in the comics as well? ;)

In batman and robin? No, all he did was get bigger, he was a muscle man for Ivy. His lines consisted of GRRR, ROAR, ugh and screamsm

3:49 AM

@Passerby No, in DKR...when he blows up the football stadium.

In the cartoons and comics, he's both very intelligent and very strong.

Idk, he normally doesn't do terrorist or exploding buildings from what I've read. But I don't read batman comics extensively

@Walt do you remember a 95-2003 action movie. I'm recalling it supposedly was like a rain man type hero, used numbers or something to stop a explosion or terrorist plot?

Q: Married man and salesman have very pleasant conversation after marital argument

I've been looking for this movie for a long time. I watched the movie with Turkish dubbing in 2005-2007. This must be a TV movie. Might be an American or British film, I don't know. The film takes place in one room. A married couple have an argument at home. The woman wants to divorce her husba...

But still no answer.

@AJ I guess it's their rep to do with what they want to.

Hey, I spent almost all of my shift last night trying to answer Ixrec's frigging Pulp Fiction briefcase question. I finally gave up. Ugh.

Hey @aj, even yesterday's match which I was quite sure that Ind would win, was marred by that damn rain ;(

user116211

@steelerfan Don't give up.

@MAFIA36790 Yes it did.

I Googled a lot for both questions, but couldn't get the answer.

@MAFIA36790 Right.

@MAFIA36790 I can be like Wad and send an e-mail to the actual director...who would be Tarantino in this case ;)

user116211

@steelerfan ;D

Yes, he actually emailed John Carpenter so that he could answer a question over here and he got a response...

user116211

@AJ He edited the post; so I think he did notice both the questions.

BTW, @steelerfan, did you watch Creed?

4:48 AM

@MAFIA36790 Wait until you have an ~~ongoing and never ending argument~~ discussion with him in chat :P

@MAFIA36790 No. Not yet. My frigging brother deleted my dvr. It's recording as we speak. I will watch when I get home.

user116211

@steelerfan Would wait for that; did he recently come here?

user116211

@steelerfan ohh.

@MAFIA36790 No. He hangs out in the sf/f chatroom. In all seriousness, I completely adore him and he knows that. I did have a misuderstanding with him once that made me want to pull my hair out though ;) All is well and he is one of my favorite people around the site and he always makes me laugh :)
