The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion & Speculation Thread - - - - - - - - - Part 102

[TheNextNolan22]

I can quote that movie all day.

 

[jonnywhc]

Do you have the Blu-ray anthology set, where each film case uses a variation of the batman logo? It's such a nice collection

I do indeed! It's got a great set of extras that run through each disc..classy!

 

[MultipleJesuses]

So what's the deal with the Dew codes? Can people start entering them yet? And do people get the clips individually rather than being released to everyone? I don't fully understand this. Saying that I haven't read anything about it

 

[Batman jr.]

I need someone to get me back in the game.

 

[BatLobster]

This is why I dislike twitter at times. It gives attention seekers instant attention and a pretty huge stage for unfiltered thoughts. Being that Kris Tapley from what I recall is a huge Batman fan, I'm a bit surprised that he would make such a rash attempt to stir up needless concern for the movie in the name of a "scoop".

To be honest though, way back when we heard general plot outlines about how the movie was basically gonna end up in a third act of Batman/Catwoman vs. Bane/Talia, a lot of people freaked and said it sounded terrible. Even though that's exactly how it might end up going down, now that we have a better overall sense of the story it makes a lot more sense.

You can start entering your codes in 35 minutes on this site http://dewgothamcity.com

If your getting Bats. Jr back in the game could you get me back in as well? I'm so lost.
And I agree with all three points in your sig

The plot to TDK didn't sound so great when it was leaked in early '08. It's all about the execution. I'm sure this will be a beautifully crafted movie no matter what we all end up thinking of the twists and turns.

 

[Solidus]

You know what sucks is that I have not found any place that has the TDKR Mountain Dew yet. Maybe I'll try some of the big chain stores like Wal-Mart. I want some codes damnit.

This whole not liking the synopsis reminds me of this

Some plot details (from a legit source, this person correctly stated that DiCaprio and Page would be in this way before anyone else).

I'll spoiler tag stuff just incase:

* 'Inception' is about dreams. They have figured out a way to enter peoples' dreams.

* The technology to enter dreams is not a machine like in the MAtrix or The Cell. It is something that is injected into the bloodstream. They can carry it in a suitcase. In one scene, they enter a person's dream while on a plane.

* Leo's character plays somewhat of a thief. He dives into people's dreams to extract info for others.

* Murphy's character plays a businessman who is about to take over a company.

* Page's character is part of Leo's team. She is a student in Paris who is the architect of the dreams.

* The plan is to insert an idea into the head of Murphy's character. The idea: To branch the compnay off into smaller companies.

* At one point in the film, Leo's wife convinces him to stay in the dream world, saying "It is better than real life." Leo wants to go back to the real world to be with his children. His wife commits suicide in the dream, thinking she'll return to the real world. When Leo returns to the real world, he is charged with the murder of his wife. He has to flee the country and his children.

* The film will be shot in Paris, Morocco, L.A., and London.

That sounds awful and toally out of line with what the previous two films have established.

That... doesn't sound very good.

I believe in Nolan. Whatever happens, it shall be good. **** the naysayers, this is going to be better than Memento, The Prestige, Insomnia and The Dark Knight COMBINED!

Sounds terrible from those plot details, but we'll see how it goes. I trust Nolan.

sound familiar?

Its all about execution in Nolan's films.

That sounds great and any true Batman fan would love that third act.

What synopsis? Can anyone bring me up to speed? I'm pressed for time so cant really back track on posts.

Yeah. I can't find a thing.

 

[jonnywhc]

Anyone know if SSH does t-shirts/merch? I did a search but nothing..seems strange.

 

[moviefan!]

Yeah. I can't find a thing.

There is no synopsis. Just a word from a tweeter who tweeted that he somehow found out the plot for TDKR and it sounded awful, he has deleted that tweet.

This^ thats how I felt with Inception, does not sound great, but you cant judge something or say that a plot is awful until you see it in the movie

Im sure that either Kris was fed false info(wanted attention) or was fed a brief plot and some things were left out(probably the ending and some of the details that are important(talia?)

 

[Solidus]

There was no synopsis. One guy heard about the ending from hitflix, and said it sounded awful, then he took it down.

And I've said many times it reminds me of when around this time it was said that Two-Face died, and many said it sounded awful. But he did not say what the ending was.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

What synopsis? Can anyone bring me up to speed? I'm pressed for time so cant really back track on posts.

Heard from someone in post on TDKR today. Got the entire plot rundown. Not to throw out a grenade, but I mean this: It sounds AWFUL.

http://***********/kristapley/status/214579448329158656

It's now deleted after he called someone a d-bag that was giving him a hard time.

Heard a synopsis of sorts that seems to match up w/ the footage. It sounded... not great. Hoping it's not 100% accurate.

[lililatigresse]

There's no synopsis just Kris Tapley saying someone told him the plot and it sounds awful to him.

 

[Notrip]

"We have a good mix of items that are branded both exclusive Dew and Dark Knight Rises, and some pieces that really tap into Gotham City to get fans excited about the movie," says Zach Harris, senior brand manager for Mountain Dew.

Harris says the website will be adding new easter eggs and content leading up to the movie's release. In addition, Mountain Dew and Warner Bros. Pictures are currently taking the Tumbler Tour around the country to show off a Tumbler and Batpod cycle from the movie and planning a promotional blitz on TV, radio and digital media.

Mountain Dew has worked on programs with other pop-culture franchises — they released special "Game Fuel" flavors for Halo and World of Warcraft in the past. But with the Dark Knight Rises project, "the consumer engagement is one of the best and one of the most cohesive we've done to date," Harris says.
