"i'm going slightly mad"

[frodawgg]

call me crazy if you will, i've been called worse. now before you all decide to come lynch me, please hear me out. even in my eyes, this idea of mine sounds like a "make it or break it" type deal. but just imagine with me...

with the burton/schumacher series, every movie was accompanied by a soundtrack (the prince one was incredible and the other two were mediocre albums with a few good songs). now, in no way do i want this series to become one where compilation soundracks accompany the films (even an album by one artist, like the prince one, wouldn't fit). i think this series doesn't need to fall in that trap; it's above that. and these movies just aren't those types of movies anyway.

that being said (bear with me here), i was listening to my Classic Queen CD yesterday and hearing the song "I'm going slightly mad" sparked an idea in my head. this is not your typical queen rock song--it's a dark, eerie yet goofy, trip into madness type song. i imagine it could be used (if done correctly) in a scene with joker in isolation, descending into madness (and if he already has, having a breakdown). it's one of those types of songs. like i said, it could work if done correctly--make the scene dark and broody, trying to explore the insanity of the clown prince of crime. if it's done any other way, it could ruin a scene, or a movie for that matter.

as i said earlier, i don't want compilation soundtracks; all they did for BB was the score soundtrack. they could even use this song just in the movie and not release on a soundtrack, and if they did, just put it on the end of the score soundtrack, just like "face to face" on BR.

i know this might sound like a stupid idea but, anyone else who has heard the song, let me know what you think.

thanks,
fro

[Dcknight]

i will download right now this song and tell you what am i thinking, but i don't think Nolan will put songs from artist in the movies except the ones of the score

[The Chairman]

I love Queen. They're my third favorite band behind Led Zeppelin and The Who. "I'm Going Slightly Mad" is one of my favorite Queen songs, but I don't want popular music on the next film's soundtrack. They just don't fit with Nolan's vision.

[Rynan]

Popular music+Batman=Stink. Batman should be timeless, not restricted by the music of today.


Besides, Queen's a "Flash Gordon" band :D

[DV8]

"The luuuuuunatic in ohn the graahss"
"The luuuuuunatic in ohn the graahss"
LOL!

I see how that could work, but you're walking a fine line there, buddy . . . I think they're probably trying to stick to the score of the film as a tool instead

[Cobblepot]

Besides, Queen's a "Flash Gordon" band :D

Think again, there can be only one...

[frodawgg]

^^^thanks for all your input. like i said, this idea of mine was iffy at best. i agree that the films should be timeless and without popular music, but i also believe that it could work if executed correctly. and i know it would never happen, which i prefer, but it's just a thought. thanks, all!

[Ronny Shade]

Sorry. I hate Queen. I'd rather have Prince again.

[The Chairman]

Queen > you

[Ronny Shade]

Prince > everything

[The Chairman]

Zeppelin > Prince

[Ronny Shade]

Zeppelin > Prince
That's just wrong.

[The Chairman]

Zeppelin is the greatest to have ever existed.

I really like Prince in all, but he's nowhere near as good as Zeppelin.

[DV8]

yeah, Zeppelin OWNS YOUR SOUL!!!!

[DV8]

maybe during the end credits, they could play "We are the Champions" LOL!

[Ronny Shade]

maybe during the end credits, they could play "We are the Champions" LOL!
I would demand my money back. And then go shoot whoever was responsible.


Either that or completely disown being a Batman Begins fan forever

[The Chairman]

I would demand my money back. And then go shoot whoever was responsible.


Either that or completely disown being a Batman Begins fan forever

You're right.

It should be played at the end of the third film.

[Ronny Shade]

There are about 2 people on this earth who agree with me on this point, but "We are the champions" is simply the worst song ever made.

[mister Lennon]

the beatles owns all.

[The Chairman]

There are about 2 people on this earth who agree with me on this point, but "We are the champions" is simply the worst song ever made.

No, it isn't.

"Grillz", by Nelly, holds that title.

[Ronny Shade]

I think Grillz is a great song

[DV8]

There are about 2 people on this earth who agree with me on this point, but "We are the champions" is simply the worst song ever made.

hahahaha, I hope you realize I was being sarcastic . . . I remember they played that **** at our swim team going away deal in high school . . . how fuackin lame!

plus we didn't even win . . . :( :mad: :confused:

[The Chairman]

I think Grillz is a great song

It is awful.

I like to know what other crappy music you listen to.

[Ronny Shade]

I listen to a lot of crappy music.

Ant Banks
Geto Boys
Too $hort
E 40
Hilary Duff
Tim Dog

[The Chairman]

I really hope you're serious when you admit the stuff you listen to is truly bad music. Anyone who thinks Hilary Duff makes good music belongs in Arkhum Asylum right next to The Joker and Two-Face.

[frodawgg]

haha my thread kills me!

[Ronny Shade]

"Bad" and "Good" are the wrong type of terms to use when talking about music.

[The Chairman]

Crappy descrobes Hilary Duff's music perfectly, though.

[Ronny Shade]

Not according to me.

[The Chairman]

If you think Hilary Duff is better Queen, The Rolling Stones and Zeppelin, you have problems. Seriously.

[Ronny Shade]

"better" is the wrong word to use.

[The Chairman]

Okay, what's the right term?

[Ronny Shade]

there isnt one

[The Chairman]

Yeah, better is the right term.

Anyone with half decent taste in music would agree with me.

[frodawgg]

although i'm not a fan of duff, and i like all those other artists better, what i believe ronny is getting at is: "everyone has their own opinion."

[The Chairman]

Yeah, I guess. But still, I think most people would agree Duff is crap comapred to the bands I mentioned.

[WeaponXProject]

hey fro didn't that Queen guy die of Aids, I think you should throw that out now....just kidding that's an interesting story. Anyways Christopher Nolan is a little above doing songs to push movies like Schu/Burton, so don't count on it. Nolan will not overmerchandize this film like Schu. Frankly that's all Returns, Forever and B&R were anyway. They were plugs for money and more about side stories and the emerge of Robin, which Nolan and Bale are completely against. Oh, Bale hates the idea of Robin and I'm sure you won't see Christian standing next to any youth sidekick queer.

[WeaponXProject]

Oh and I agree with Anthony on that one, Ronny I hope ur a girl or maybe your a....Queen literally. Just Kidding, guys. Have fun.

[frodawgg]

weaponxproject, yeah, i understand the whole overmerchandizing aspect, which ruined the last franchise. and i would never expect nolan to put the song in the movie. it was just a hypothetical. and i don't know where robin comes into this, i never said i wanted him in there. i hope they leave him out for good.

[StorminNorman]

Ronny Shade = Natalie Portman > Motzart > Pince > Queen > Hillary Duff

[The Chairman]

Ronny Shade = Natalie Portman > Motzart > Pince > Queen > Hillary Duff

Queen is better than all of them!

[StorminNorman]

Motzart Owns Queen

[The Chairman]

Queen is one of the best bands ever.

People who hate Queen or any other great classic rock artist truly needs to get into listening to some good music.

[StorminNorman]

Motzart is the greatest muscian....ever.

[The Chairman]

Motzart is the greatest muscian....ever.

No, he isn't.

Hail to The King!

http://freespace.virgin.net/kenny.m/Pictures/pagebig.jpg

[mister Lennon]

Queen are great, the rolling stones are great, the who are great, led zeppelin are great, Mozart is great, Hillary Duff is crap.

And by the way, here is the best muscian ever, the man, the mith, the legend, the king, badass in person, the one and only John Wiston Lennon:

http://www.mikesjournal.com/Lennon%20Legend%20The%20Very%20Best%20of%20John%20 Lennon.jpg


And here is the best band ever, the kings, the number ones, the fabulous fours, the Liverpool Genious, the Beatles:
http://www.eszlinger.com/beatles/beatles%20images/beatles%20images/Beatles%20-%20Abbey%20Road.jpg


Best songs ever, best music ever, best songwritten ever, best band ever, bes everything ever. Without the beatles, music wouldnt be the same. Hail to the kings of music.

[DavidTyler]

Before this degenerates into more flaming. Everyone needs to keep in mind that taste in music is subjective. Everyone is entitled to like whatever suits them.

Me, I'm a huge Beatle/Jovi/80's hard rock/Monkees/Queen/Zep/STP/Offspring/Nickleback/Collective Soul/fan. I even go for Progressive Rock and some southern rock from the 70's. I have a collection of 'Emerson Lake and Palmer', ,Yes, and a few other prog bands. Aerosmith.

So, before we start beating each other up, let's consider that we all like some band or perfomer that someone else thinks is lame.

[DavidTyler]

Hell, I even have a couple of modern musicals/operas like 'Miss Siagon'

Life is too short to spend arguing. Try to have fun whenever you can

Really how?

[frodawgg]

^^^i'll tell you how. i work at an alternative school for children with emotional disturbances (ED), and oh boy, when they get mad, they dig deep to find something to call you. i've been called:
mother****er
****head
********
*******, asswipe, asslick
****ing n****r (and i'm not black)
dumbass
nazi (cuz my head is shaved)
...and countless others

now granted, those names were not based on anything i did (like me being crazy cuz of this thread), but they were just kids in crisis venting their anger.

i have been called things by people close to me, which have hurted because there was "meaning" behind them. it really hurts when your brothers call you "stupid" or "retard" in any way other than a sibling rivalry. when people would say i would never amount to anything, that devastated me as well.

so, as far as i'm concerned, i really don't mind being called crazy because i introduce the idea of a song in a movie.:up:

[WeaponXProject]

at least we agree fro, i know you didn't say anything about robin I was just saying that as another example of what ruined the dark knight franchise.

[Phantom Lantern]

queen were awesome, but i hate that song the only redeeming thing was seeing brian may as a giant penguin

[Mr. Socko]

Would rather a better score...

You need to get a good job and show them :up:

You're not crazy, you're just going slightly mad. :D
Seriously, yes, I agree with you, that if done right (dark, noir-like), this song could be great for a scene like that. :up:

[ToddIsDead]

Queen > Everything

If you don't realize that then you must be brain-dead.

[Mr. Socko]

I want only instrumentals, no rock or rap in these kind of movies. Save that for xXx.

[drunkhomer]

just let Hans Zimmer keep workin his mojo

[ToddIsDead]

Batman better ride a bike in the next movie just so they can play 'Bicycle Race' by Queen.

[frodawgg]

^^^hahahahaha

[mcflytrap]

Just watched HIGHLANDER again last night and I cringed at the part where Connor goes "It's a kind of magic!"

LAME

[The Chairman]

They should play "Another One Bites The Dust" during a fight scene.

[Casius--J]

Ronny Shade = Natalie Portman > Motzart > Pince > Queen > Hillary Duff

I agree with this statement except for the natalie portman part, i dont have anythin against her just dont think she's that great is all!

But i like the fact that the new batman film had no current soundtrack, as stated before bat films should be timeless.

[Qui Gon Ducard]

There are about 2 people on this earth who agree with me on this point, but "We are the champions" is simply the worst song ever made.

and something you wrote will still be being played 30 years after it's original release? Nope thought not....NEVER put Queen down in my presence ever again.

[Qui Gon Ducard]

Just watched HIGHLANDER again last night and I cringed at the part where Connor goes "It's a kind of magic!"

LAME

Just thought I'd let you know that the 'kind of magic' line was written before the song. Roger saw the rushes and used the line for the song....You may still thinks it's a lame line but I thought I'd piont it out just in case you thought that they put it in there just because of the song. And also you have to remember he was trying to explain to a young girl why he didnt die in a hail of bullets. IMO I think if they were going to use a song they should use they lyrics in TKJ and set it to the tune of Always look on the bright side of life. Everytime I read the book that tune is always in my head!

[CConn]

and something you wrote will still be being played 30 years after it's original release? Nope thought not....NEVER put Queen down in my presence ever again.Firstly, I don't think you can play a post.

Secondly, you're over excitable, and for that I will eat you alive. :( But not now. :)

Thirdly, just because you said that, I'm going to say Ronny's post and quote it in some form of publication 30 years for now. Spite is my chicken soup for the soul.

Fourthly, I like We Are the Champions.

[Qui Gon Ducard]

Well shut the Feck up then.....****

[CConn]

And deny the world my wisdom?

PS - I reported you, sry. :(

[Ronny Shade]

and something you wrote will still be being played 30 years after it's original release? Nope thought not....NEVER put Queen down in my presence ever again.
ahem...






















.....Queen sucks

[Qui Gon Ducard]

how mature do put down a rock band that opened more doors to musicians than any other. First ever promo video (3 years after bohemian rhapsody MTV was born) The first band to play to unsegregated audiences in South Africa while apartied still ruled. The band of the day at Live Aid (as said by many of the bands on the day in britain and the usa) Biggest ever audience held at a Rock in Rio festival, and countless other records....yeah sure they suck Ronny. Tell you what why not go back to listening to your little rap records and s****** when they say a$$ and other swear words that I am sure your mummy doesnt like hearing coming from her basement and let the us listen to the real music. You dont like them? your loss. Countless of millions across the world do, and in another 30 years their music will still be being played, they will still top polls of greatest bands along with others like Zepplin, The Beatles....(dont tell me ...they suck as well?) the Rolling Stones and the real pioneers of music, not like these people today who can only talk over someone else's music.
