By the way, I hope they don't litter the fight scenes with a bunch of quick cuts all over. I wanna see the fights in all their glory.
 
*Daredevil is about to punch Kingpi-cut to the diner where the waitress is washing a table*Watcher: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
 
Haha, not exactly what I meant though :woot:
 
DD yells at Kingpin like R Lee Ermey did with Pvt Pyle in Full Metal Jacket = :lmao:

Yeah well I think it's a bit late to change directors :oldrazz:

True, but when I think of fight scenes filmed a little further back, and done in one take, Evans was the first one to come to mind.
 
Yeah. It's been a while since I've seen The Raid but I remember the fight scenes being pretty good.
 
I have a plan to watch the Trail of Incredible Hulk, Ben Affleck's Daredevil Movie, "Framed" and "The Man Without Fear" from Spider-Man: TAS before Daredevil premieres. Kind of a Daredevil marathon before the actual TV Series Binge.
 
Scott Glenn Talks THE BARBER and MARVEL’S DAREDEVIL

What attracted you to the Netflix series, Daredevil? Were you familiar with that world, at all?

GLENN: Not at all. I’m not a comic book guy. I’ve never been to Comic-Con. I don’t know anything about that. It’s a whole different world. On the set, there were people in their 70s and people in their late teens, and all of them knew this world and were obsessed with it. It was up to Marvel to decide which superhero they wanted to start with. I know they wanted one of the first three or four to be a woman, but they knew they wanted to start with Daredevil because they thought it had been given such a disservice when it was made into a feature. I never saw that film, so I don’t know whether it was good or bad, but I know that that was their feeling. For me, it was just getting to do something I had never done before in my life, which was play blind. I’ve never played a blind person.

What can you say about who Stick is?

GLENN: I play a blind assassin, who is the mentor of [Matt Murdock]. So, all it took for me was to read the script of this one episode that I’m in – Episode 7 – and I just totally loved the character. I thought it was going to be hard and physically demanding and just fun to do, and it was. And then, I got to go to New York and spend some time there. I’m a little scared of it because I haven’t seen it yet. The trailer is great, but I’m still going to be super nervous on April 10th. I’m probably going to watch Episode 1, and then skip right to Episode 7 because I don’t know whether I pulled it off or not. Everyone tells me I did, but I saw none of that footage. It was the first time I’d ever played a blind person, let alone a blind person who was super physically capable, so we’ll see.

Scott Glenn is great. Hes been around for a long time too. I think one of the first things he was in was Apocalypse Now. Last thing I saw him in was Training Day.

He was in a martial arts movie called The Challenge (1982), I wonder if that informed his version of Stick at all.

The first big disappoinment from the DD movie for me was early on, after the awesome gearing up montage. Affleck immediatly drops 30 stories onto a scaffold then vaults another 10 stories plus 50 feet out to the neighboring building and starts an impossible series of Spider-Man level flips across the rooftops.

I love the DD movie for a lot of reasons but I hated that. Give me some reasonably believable parkour and the occasional billy club swing and I'm happy. I hate the idea of him swinging across town like Spidey; use the club line as a piece of gear that helps him with the real jumps he can't make unassisted.

And add some flair to the freerunning but keep it believable in a super-powered world in context. Stretch what we can do, in the way that guys like DD or Batman stretch human ability, but don't overdo it. If that makes sense.

Swinging through the streets like Spiderman no way, but I wouldn't mind a combination of Parkour rooftop style acrobatics put with some kind of swinging perhaps similar to what Hawkeye did in Avengers, where while impressive did not seem to require superhuman abilities.

My birthday is in the beginning of April and my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told her it was to watch the 13 episodes of Daredevil on April 12th (our day off together) before watching Game of Thrones. She said she would, so I am very excited that she is going to share the experience with me and I will not need to wait until the following Thursday when I have my other day off by myself. So excited for this!

I wonder how advanced DD will be in his fighting/acrobatic skills by the last episode.
 
Matt doesn't even go blind until episode 4, so it make sense. :oldrazz:
 
Dang Stick is only in one episode? I didn't expect him to be a regular but figured he'd have more time than that.

Still, Glenn is awesome. Been a fan for many years.

You're a lucky man.

My wife wouldn't binge watch an entire season with me unless the show won her over first.

Birthday or not. :oldrazz:
