yes thats quite good...love Bruce Willis   

Very interesting how they changed the look of his younger self.  The actor looked quite different from his usual self.

There are 2 specific scenes in Django which really push the limits.  I think most of it comes from the excellent directing and editing.  The fight scene is so real and emotionally fueled since you know what's at stake from the beginning of the scene.  Watch the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about.  I was really into the movie and the significance of the events during those times, so it really made the scene. 

I don't want to spoil it for you since these two scenes really make you remember the movie.  You should watch it man, good movie.

I plan on seeing it. I was just talking about violence in movies in general. I have never understood why we are this way. Violence is far worse than pretty much anything else you can put in a movie. If I keep my kid from watching anything when he/she is young, it will be graphic violence, not a nude scene.

Just watched Django Unchained. Probably the best movie I've seen all year. Very intense movie. Now, the violence was pretty rough, but it really wasn't the violence that made it so intense. It's the subject matter. I mean, there were some things that were stylized to make the movie more entertaining, but it's overall fairly realistic depiction of the southern USA at the time.

What did you guys thing of The dark knight returns? I thought, for what they had in resources/actors/story, that it was soo dissapointing. Especially compared to The dark knight. Soo many gaps in the story, unrealistic 'coincidences', most unnecessary stupid plottwist ever, worst villain voice :p.

isnt it called 'The Dark Knight Rises'? :D

I liked it. It wasn't as good as The Dark Knight, but it was still quite good. The story was different from your typical superhero movie. It maybe did get overdone at times. It's a Batman movie. There's always tons of unrealistic instances. I'd actually say the Nolin movies are all slightly more realistic than the old movies. I actually thought Bane was a create villain. Bane was the highlight of the movie. The big brute with a super high intellect was a very interesting character. My biggest complaint is they left the ending open for the sequel, but they aren't going to make one. The series is going to be rebooted instead. Which is LAME....

Yes, absolutely brilliant movie man.  As far as the violence goes, that's exactly what I thought and what I was trying to hint at when I said: "The fight scene is so real and emotionally fueled since you know what's at stake from the beginning of the scene."  The sound effects and visuals were also brilliant in the scene (e.g. punches to the ribs).  Also, the people in the room.  Each person had a different reaction to the events happening.  Really special scene.

Pretty much what I thought of it, except I really enjoyed the ending of it.  It does make you want a sequel but it was a good ending overall.  I enjoyed them showing Bruce and then Robin, etc.  The previous one was the best one ever and it could never be topped.

The fight scene was better choreographed than I'd expect, but I'm kind of a martial arts snob. If anything, they showed probably better technique than those men would have had in real life. I doubt they knew how to do the submission hold. Absolutely barbaric that this shit happened.

The ending of TDKR was fine if they were planning on the sequel. That's the only problem. One more problem with TDKR, the fight scenes were terrible. Batman and Bane are both supposed to be martial arts experts. Watching Batman throw wild haymakers was disgusting. If Batman fights me like that, I'd knock him out, yet someone as huge and athletic as Bane.

Kinda lame that 90% of the movie there was no batman: p. He did like, 4 scenes as batman.
