thehefner: (Harvey Dent: Scream)
[personal profile] thehefner
A warning to my comic geek fan friends.

Apparently my great fear has been realized and the first image of the Two-Face makeup effects (the concept art, at least) for THE DARK KNIGHT has been leaked out. Warner Bros is already sending out cease-and-desist orders to have them removed, but they are spreading into my usual web sites, including here on LJ.

Do not, I repeat do NOT send me this picture. I do *not* want to see it. I sincerely, deeply hope to avoid seeing any image of Two-Face until I see the actual film.

No spoilers whatsoever. Me no wanna. If you see it, don't tell me anything about it. That's an order. Please.

Thank you.

Also, GIP: god, I love this image. It's the reflection that seals the deal.

Read the comments to my crappy IRON MAN review, then...my remarkably gifted (smart/funny/musical) friend Maya is insanely hot anyway, but on TOP of that, SHE KNOWS IRON MAN.
Fo real.

Damn she is, and damn she DOES!

He's just so fucking cool in that imagine. My deep hope is that IRON MAN will furthermore create a rediscovery in the greatness that is KISS KISS BANG BANG.

I confess I'm tempted to comment with "OMG YOU MEAN THIS PICTURE --> " and then have it lead to some goofy cartoon version of Harvey, but I fear you would kill me with an axe before the image had time to load.

If you did that, my immediate response would have been, "Don't say another goddamned word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else -- word one -- I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my Black Throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this one and that one.

"When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming -- as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your head, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin...

"I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth."

So, yeah. Don't do that. Fair warning.

I hadn't seen the leaked pics, but once I googled for them, I have to admit that I see your point. I mean, even the normal half looks like Tommy Lee Jones. What's up with that?

I haven't seen them, don't wanna see them. I want to see Two-Face only when I motherfucking SEE TWO-FACE.

Darling, fake spoiler. You need to work on your blood pressure and - if tar or pitch or whatever really is coming out of your eyeballs - your party tricks.

Nice imagery, though.

Even the mere hint of spoiOMG YAY DRAKKEN AND SHEGO HUZZAH!!!

I mean, heck, I'm just always looking for an opportunity to use that Penny Arcade monologue.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!

Drakken and Shego are my current exam-studying-avoidance of choice. I found a bunch of eps on YouTube and a site with high-quality screencaps, but I can't bring myself to play with them until tomorrow afternoon when at least half my work will be done (or late, at which point it won't be accepted anyway.)

And you did. Along with the freakiest Donald Southerland icon ever. Congratulations, dear. I'm very happy for you.

1) So do you or don't you want to see this pic?

2) Thanks for spoiling that Dent goes Two Face in this flick and not the next ;p

NO PIC! GAH!

Y'know, back when I worked at the comic shop, one customer did berate me for "spoiling" just that. *headdesk*

I do read it, but thankfully, by the time I did it was yanked at the request of WB. Whew!

thanks for the warning! I don't want to see them either... I was enjoying the new trailer last night and notes specifically that they showed what appeared to be the acid incident (presumably noted by your icon there) but NOT Two Face.

I will be careful not to do too much research so as not to be spoiled myself.

Can I tell you how bloody excited I am for this movie?? (probably not as much as you, but I would rate it as my most anticipated movie of the summer)

A film-geek friend sent it to me on email, as he knew I was excited over the movie.

I didn't waaaant to be spoilered, and now I'm sad, grumpy and inclined to be really angry with him, even though he thought he was being nice by showing it to me.

(Also, this week I am working with a man called Henry Dent. Guess how many times I've called him Harvey so far?)

Apropos of nothing...

Well, at least not apropos of Two-Face or Batman, an article about what makes a compelling and successful comic book-to-movie transition character (with emphasis on Wonder Woman) showed up on the old Friends List, and I thought you might be interested.

God DAMN not cool! I guess I really was right to post this LJ warning, since I could so easily imagine some well-meaning friend doing the same.

Also, hahaha! Oh, the poor guy. Hopefully he'll never meet me, otherwise the two of us constantly mistaking his name would just be too surreal.

Pretty interesting. He makes good points. As a GL fan, I have lamented the lack of iconic stories I can point to people and say, "This. This is Green Lantern."

When Joss Whedon was gonna do Wonder Woman, he seemed to want to throw everything out and keep her almost in name and basic concept only. I have no idea, maybe he could have still gotten the spirit of the character and her world down, but somehow, I think he would have missed the point and just created "Joss Whedon's character who just happens to be called Wonder Woman" rather than "Wonder Woman, Diana of Themyscira."

Heh, it's easy to still be ridiculously super-excited and not be as excited as me. :)

Yeah, beware, the spoilers are just gonna keep on coming as the time approaches.
