The /Filmcast: After Dark - Episode 9 (GUEST: Myles McNutt)

Posted on Monday, July 28th, 2008 by David Chen

/FilmCast

Sorry for the delay in getting this up this week guys! The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file. In this episode, David, Peter, Devindra, and Adam, and guest Myles McNutt from Cultural Learnings, discuss Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible web series and continue their discussion of The Dark Knight.

  • egyptnation
    dave, what happened to the part where you read my e-mail? at what time mark did it happen? did you cut it out?
  • Hi Guys - listen to the show on my iPod...I posted a story with similar nitpicks as a guest blogger at Kungfu Rodeo - glad to see that Dave had similar thoughts as I did about the editing, and alot of the stuff in The Dark Knight that brings it down to me.

    Yes I didn't mind to do this since I was guest blogging but I will be starting out a new blog based in Hong Kong (where the Dark Knight was shot - NOT TOKYO!!!!) about more of this stuff - stay tuned.

  • Adam B.
    I'm so jealous of David Chen.
    got to live out my life long dream.
    and why wasn't that mentioned in your best/worst of CC video?
    surely it was life altering?!
  • krackajap
    When can we be expecting that epic Cam Gigandet interview that we've been waiting for at the edge of our seats?
  • Tom
    Too many nit picks. There are broader problems like Harvey Dent transforms into a psycho was to quick
  • Morten
    This make no sense, They loved the movie when kevin smith reviewed it with them. and now they hate it ? I don't get it
  • krackajap
    Merten,
    Believe it or not, it is possible to love a movie and still find flaws in it. All of my favorite movies of all time have flaws. Except for Shichinin no Samurai.

    I think that a lot of the "nitpicky" problems identified with the editing in the film were actually very "comic-book" elements. In comics, a large part of the story takes place between the panels, and as a reader/viewer, you have to interpret what has happened. The scene with the Joker taking that cop hostage and escaping his holding room was a perfect example of this. As a viewer, you were given everything you need to interpret what happened in that scene: Batman smashes the Joker's head into a piece of glass, the Joker sits near that glass, the Joker taunts the cop into coming near him, the Joker escapes. Do you have to read between the panels to understand this? Yes. Does that make it sloppy or poorly edited. Absolutely not. I give Nolan credit for respecting the audience enough to know that not every minute detail needs to be spoonfed to us. The movie had a couple problems, but this definitely wasn't one of them.
