Nevermind lol The Blah Blah Blah is all behind us now, lets just focus on what's positive for TDKR now.

Kind of a dimwitted question, but is there any news on the taste quality of this Dark Berry Mountain Dew?

I know taste is almost entirely subjective, but I kinda' wanna' have an idea of the taste before I go buy 45 of em'

I haven't drank soda in over three years, but I was never a fan of Dews "special" flavors.

What are we expecting this to be anyway? clips, photos, ect?

 

[Fullmetal]

Right there with you brother.

Just 1 month away... were're getting closer to the promise day my friends.

Would a person who works in post usually end up being assigned several shots/frames or be assigned to work on the whole movie? I just don't believe that Tapley's source has actually seen TDKR in full him/herself.

The only people who would are the editor, likely the effects director (but we all know Lee Smith and Paul Franklin wouldn't be so dumb ), and the people in charge of sound mixing.

So it's a fairly short list, and I doubt any of them would be stupid enough to leak it to a blogger. He might have gotten something like the ending out of context, and freaked out about it the way RIM did about ASM. But at least RIM saw the damn movie and he didn't lash out against fans.

If he was assigned to work on the whole movie, he would not talk about the entire plot with a critique who would post negative reaction on twitter. That's dumb on his part. Im sure he signed a contract, if he even opened his mouth about anything he'd be sued. THe sad part is if he did spill details, the critique shouldn't have said anything since it can get his friend in trouble. So either both of them are stupid or someone is lying here.

 

[Excel]

we all basically know the damn story. idk what he could have been told

 

[Anita18]

I know someone who worked on Prometheus and saw the whole thing way before the critics while working on it. But it was on TV and in black and white and to be honest, she has to see the whole thing for her work.

My friend who's a sound recordist watches movies hundreds of times. It sucks when they're bad movies though. Will never live down having worked on "Meet the Spartans."

Does anyone know WTH is going on in this convo:

Gr8 job @johnaugust on the writing panel @ ‪#LAFF‬! I think Mr. Nolan accidentally dropped a hint of a Dark Knight plot point. More later. ‪#fb‬

@yogoldsmith Please don't tweet the TDKR plot point. I'm trying to go in knowing nothing.

he didn't table anythig as a hint or plot point - but mentioned something while answering a question that confirmed my theory.

Thanks for that. That is what I was confused about, since I'm sure Nolan has a team he trusts and usually re-uses for his films. I'm not too knowledgeable about how many people work on a film in post, so this clears it up a bit for me.

What in the world is going on!? Please don't tell me it's spoilers.

I agree.
I know that Tapley isn't just "some blogger" that people might think he is, but I know that doesn't exempt him from misinformation or from tweeting bs. Everyone does that from time to time, saying they have people in the know. There was a lot of misinfo around casting time for TDKR, but even those bloggers didn't have their reputations harmed by that much, and they worked for pretty good sites/papers...

Movie blogger Kris Tapley tweeted that someone in TDKR post gave him a plot rundown and says "not to throw out a grenade, but I mean this: it sounds AWFUL."

You can guess what happened next.

Oh boy. I guess people have already had their scheduled meltdowns?

To be fair, a TON of people work on a movie's post production. But effects people wouldn't need work on the whole movie. I'm not even sure if the same sound mixers would work on an entire movie, but that's what my friend does for smaller movies. But the people in charge of editing and sound and effects definitely would see the entire movie while working on it.

 

[Victarion]

Mods best be revin' up their bansticks...lol. Oh btw Craig, that Kris guy deleted his tweet because we scared him.

 

[Bane_Fanboy]

Exactly proves what I said....None of that tweet included any details he heard or name of his source. So why would he delete it in fear of WB and Not stand by his words like a man? I can guess what most likely happened...He was DUPED and fed fake intel and instead of dealing with his amateur mistake he just deleted his post and apologized in a *****ey way for pressing peoples buttons. Then he will never tweet anything else until tomorrow and will not talk about it ever again. Im 70% positive thats what happened. Amazing how you can sweep things under the rug on twitter.

Yeah, I know. My friend will work on TDKR though, maybe she has already seen it. But she told me she won't tell me a thing about it, she's too afraid of WB and she knows I'm a big fan. But knowing this now, I'm paranoid, I always try to analyze everything she says t:

I also lost a lot of respect for Tapley when he called the person who responded to him a "*****ey fanboy." I looked at that guy's tweets to Kris and he said nothing confrontational. That lacks professionalism, IMO.

"Will work?" They'd better be printing (or at least color-timing) that sucker by now! Locked and loaded!

Has anyone made an "and everybody loses their minds" reference yet?

So usually the ones who work on the whole movie would end up being a specified number of people? Such as the team Nolan would use for most of his recent films (aka his loyal ones t?

I did. Without "and" though. Kind of, "nobody should lose their minds"

Certainly the most professional.
