Alamo Draft House. Where you at? Know they’re in Houston, Austin and San Antone but not sure if all of 'em are doing it. They’re doing it in Houston, but all the locations are in the boonies.

X2!!!
I love the lessons that can be learned from this movie.
Just like a great baker can take apples, flour and sugar and create a wonderful confection so too a bad one will make a ruin of it.
You take the idea of a man who dresses up like a bat to fight crime and you can have the wonderful Nolan movies, yet before we had Burton and the worse Schumacher make those horribly bloated, garish messes.
Come on now Nards, Burtons batman movies where great and with a touch of comedy that Nolans batman lacks.

The first Batman movie was decent mostly because it was the first serious attempt at a movie version of that character. The rest weren’t comedic so much as they were corny and overly cartoonish. They hadn’t come up with the concept of trying to insert these characters into a more real world. That is why the bat suit back then had nipples. You really can’t forgive how they portrayed Bane back then.

Bane and the nipple-suit weren’t in Burton’s movies. He only directed the first two. I suppose that of all four of those movies the first was the closest thing to a more real world, but the second Burton movie with the Penguin wasn’t anywhere close to a “more real world”.

Good point…but Burton caused the downhill slide by making Batman 2 less serious. Hollywood took it from there by turning it into a cameo star-fest instead of hiring some good writers.

Yes, Batman Returns set an ugly precedent which Joel Schumacher then took and tried to rape in the ass but couldn’t because he was only half-hard.
What I like about Nolan is that he clearly has no problem eschewing whatever happens to be the big trend in Hollywood at the time, which isn’t rare in a director by any means. But it IS rare in a director making an action film, especially one based on a comic book character. I’ve liked some of the recent Marvel stuff, but let’s be real: they don’t even come close to approaching what Nolan has done with Batman. They’re much more in the vein of Burton and Schumacher’s films than they are Nolan’s.
Nolan uses big stars, but they’re all decidedly a notch below some of the names that have been rumored to be involved with his films but weren’t, Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp being two. Also, Nolan uses MUCH less CGI than most people realize, although I think Inception is a much better example of this than The Dark Knight or what I’ve seen from the Rises trailers. Also, no 3-D either, which I’m sure studio execs were trying to push onto him. I’ve said it before: I think the level of meticulousness and attention to detail, combined with what looks to me like a significant amount of independence from studio exec influence, makes him the closest thing to Stanley Kubrick that I’ve seen in a major director. I’m just disappointed that other serious directors like him haven’t taken on similar challenges in the action film realm. it seems that 99% of action films have little substance or depth. Everything that Nolan has made has been exciting, but with more intellect involved than a typical “exciting” film.
Apparently Nolan is the producer and writer of the next Superman movie. I’m skeptical about this one though, if only because Superman is a fag. I think in this respect Nolan has also chosen the best possible major comic character to make a serious, legitimate film about. I don’t think his approach would work well with characters like Captain America or SpiderMan or Ironman or the Hulk.

Not sure I’d place blame on Burton for that. Literally every Batman movie or TV show before Nolan was anywnere from campy to outright ridiculous, and that’s including Burtons Batman (batdance anyone?). Nolan upped the ante on the entire genre.

Austin locations are doing the marathon as well…but my money is going to IMAX.
