azrael Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I don't know what this is...It's a dark comedy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2562232/?ref_=vi_tt_t Quote
SaitouSad Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Man, I thought we were gonna get a live action Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law Quote
Mommar Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 It's a dark comedy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2562232/?ref_=vi_tt_t That term doesn't bode well in my opinion. Most black comedies are comedic in my opinion. Quote
mikeszekely Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Man, I thought we were gonna get a live action Harvey Birdman, Attorney at LawYeah. The problem I have with this movie is that it's about a washed up actor, not a superhero lawyer. Quote
Duke Togo Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 That term doesn't bode well in my opinion. Most black comedies are comedic in my opinion. It bodes well in mine. It's a nice change of pace from the constant flow of unfunny crap like "A Millions Ways to Die in the West" and "22 Jump Street." Quote
Duke Togo Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Michael Keaton, Ed Norton... I'm sold! Exactly Quote
xrentonx Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Michael Keaton, Ed Norton... I'm sold! DONE! Where do I sign? Quote
skullmilitia Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) It bodes well in mine. It's a nice change of pace from the constant flow of unfunny crap like "A Millions Ways to Die in the West" and "22 Jump Street." I can agree with a Million ways, but if you didn't find 22 jump street funny, frankly I'm not sure your even Human. Edited June 16, 2014 by skullmilitia Quote
Duke Togo Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I can agree with a Million ways, but if you didn't find 22 jump street funny, frankly I'm not sure your even Human. I wouldn't waste my time with it after the first one. Quote
TangledThorns Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 The trailer looks great. I hope the final film doesn't try to be too clever and turn people off by doing so. Quote
Lobizon Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 a little NSFW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOnl7zNd0Rc Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Now I have no friggin' clue what this is about. That trailer could just as well have been from a total re-write/re-shoot. That is---not at all what I thought based on the first teaser. Quote
areaseven Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Word out on the street is that Birdman may receive some nominations at the next Academy Awards. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 93% Metacritic Score: 88 out of 100 Edited January 21, 2016 by areaseven Quote
Duke Togo Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Finally got to see Birdman this week. Aboslurmely fantastic. Loved it. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 So, please give a synopsis about what it's about. As the last trailer I saw gave me the impression that he's having a mental breakdown and is hallucinating most of the events in the movie. Quote
troyness Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Golden globe nominations : Best screenplay- Alejandro & Co. Best director- Alejandro . Best motion picture- musical or comedy. Best actor- Michael Keaton. Best supporting actor- Edward Norton. Best supporting actress- Emma Stone. .....Go Mr Keaton!!!' Quote
Tking22 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 All I gotta say is, damn good film, this and The Babadook were complete surprises for me this year, I'll definitely be adding both Blurays to my collection when they release. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Speaking of Keaton, check his original Batman 3 prototype suit. Quote
troyness Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Michael Keaton wins best actor in a comedy/musical at golden globes!! Quote
Duke Togo Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Do you agree? Well, I'm not putting it in my top 5 or 10 all time, but yeah, I agree with A LOT of what he says here. Quote
Tking22 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I think the only movie I liked recently more than Birdman was Whiplash, my main question is when is Keaton giving us another Beetlejuice? Quote
TangledThorns Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I think the only movie I liked recently more than Birdman was Whiplash, my main question is when is Keaton giving us another Beetlejuice? Good question. I remember first seeing Michael Keaton in Ron Howard's Night Shift (yes, I'm that old) and really enjoyed his movies back in the 1980s but his career went into a nose dive after Batman Returns. I don't get what happened to him, bad agent perhaps? Anyways, I hadn't seen Birdman yet but I'm glad he is making a comeback of sorts. Another Ron Howard classic starring Michael Keaton is Gung Ho. On a side note I did want to see Birdman last week but only had time for one film and that was American Sniper. Great movie and I'm surprised we don't have a thread on it, should I start one??

TangledThorns Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 That could get messy. I guess so. Funny enough last Saturday was controversy movie day for me. First with American Sniper at the theater then The Interview that evening on Netflix Quote
505thAirborne Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Well, I'm not putting it in my top 5 or 10 all time, but yeah, I agree with A LOT of what he says here. Overall I really enjoyed the movie and the cast was superb, Michael Keaton is such a great actor, Ed Norton was awesome! The only real issue I had about the movie as I knew next to nothing about it based only on the trailers, I thought Keaton's character was going to go from being a washed up Broadway actor and return as Birdman, maybe use those super powers, fight some evil, save the day, etc. I enjoyed the film and story that was presented & the way it was filmed, its just not exactly what I expected as the Super Hero part never really happened.

modelglue Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I lasted 20 minutes into this flick. We had just finished watching "A million ways to die in the west", though, so maybe that was a factor. I was surprised to see "The Interview" on Netflix. Great movie for nights spent in the nothing zone. Quote
TangledThorns Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Dat Shelly Long ass. Night Shift is on HBO this month! Pretty hard to get past the early 1980s style at first but its cool because the film also stars The Fonz! Quote
