I'm not one of the women with huge giantoboobs, so that's not MY problem specifically heh.

Possibly. A lot of them are kind of couch potatoes who only do the most basic of exercise (if they did a lot of exercise they'd not have such huge sacks of fat to begin with).

Depends. There's always a sort of lower limit to bust size before you start getting into unhealthy territory as regards body fat percentage. In college I knew a girl that was 5'0 110 lbs with a 32 F who had been athletic early in high school but lost the ability to do much of anything athletic due to the pain her chest caused her. Needless to say, she's since had a reduction.
But yeah, barring extreme examples, strength training generally helps though certain types of cardio can be problematic no matter what; for obvious reasons.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

So have you guys seen anything about Venom? Bane doesn't seem to be a Druggy in this, though I think the dude they keep showing is the person with Black Veins in the earlier trailers.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

Spoiler:
Going by the IMAX footage shown there is no magic steroid that makes people stronger. Instead it seems they are going with a back story that he either sustained an injury to the spine or was the victim of some surgical tests and now requires a constant supply of pain killers to function. In images you can see surgical scars along his back and in the IMAX footage some fellow asks him if he removed the mask if he would die and Bane replies that he wouldn't die, but that he would be in a lot of pain. I think they aren't going for more of a special forces look and feel than that of a body builder.
Considering the movie is 2 hours and 40 minutes I imagine there is still a lot we don't know quite yet. My guess is that this all ties back into the League of Shadows maybe being less than happy with Batman's actions in Batman Begins.

Bringing this thread back from the dead, in honor of the movie coming out tomorrow and to share this awesome trailer.
The guys over at The Hub are showing a mini-marathon of the animated series, and decided to bring the original voice cast back together to make an animated version of the Dark Knight Rises trailer:
I saw it last night......I don't want to ruin it for everyone, but it was certainly a lot different than I expected. Also, I very much want to see it again, FWIW

The high prices also make the game more cinematic, just like going to the cinema!

Yeah - no spoilers in open conversation for at least a week - or else!

It was probably a teaser/preview pic.
Now that we're almost at the official USA release...
Avoiding any posts, but one of the really nice theaters (Rave if that means anything to you) is doing a marathon of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and at midnight The Dark Knight Rises. I couldn't pass up seeing the first two on the big screen one last time so I will be attending.

The wife shot it down, but that was my plan for today. Almost 9 hours of IMAX fun. She said no...
Now I am watching the first two on DVD while prepping for the last one.

That sounds awesome - wish someone was doing something similar around here...

In other news, I'm basically taking Nolan on faith with this one. He's got a track record that good enough that despite me having a fair few doubts about the choice of villains and some kinda dodgy looking production stills, I expect this to be an very good movie.

Plot is up on Wikipedia. Plan on seeing it tomorrow even though I read all the spoilers.
Not a big spoiler, just a little hint.
Spoiler:
Nolan does a great misdirection.
Really? I looked 2 days ago and RT said 97%. Did you maybe hit the buttons in the improper order? Cuz on Tuesday it was at 97%-only one guy in the critics section disliked it. I'm looking forward to seeing it tomorrow.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

It's at 87% right now. It isn't surprising that it'd drop from the early number - the first reviews are from reviewers given special early access, and they almost always repay that access with generous reviews. But 87% is still a solid result, and a long way from the 79% you'd expect of a more mixed reception.

Ebert? I like reading the guys reviews, because his understanding of the process of making movies really shows through, but I'd have to say his conclusions are idiosyncratic at best.
I mean, I say he's the classic example of a guy who's reviews you read to try and learn what a movie is about so you can make your own choice about whether or not to see it, and never, ever just see a movie because the reviewer says he liked it.

In my opinion, easily the best of the trilogy. And if not, easily one of the best ending movies to a trilogy, ever. This movie surprised me at almost every turn. I loved it.

Well as I have no plans to go see it at the cinema I've read up the plot and some dialogue on the webs.
I think I am have to sit in the corner on this one, with the firm belief I just don't like Nolan's vision of Batman.
Looking at Gutters this morning, a snippet from a review in the states cemented my position. Sohmer took this as a positive, I take it as a negative.
The question of "Who will win the summer: The Avengers or Batman?" is about to be answered. Though according to a guy who knows a little bit about Batman, Neal Adams "'The Dark Knight Rises' does NOT beat 'The Avengers.' The reason? It is a totally different kind of movie — to compare them is an empty exercise. 'The Dark Knight Rises,' it turns out, is a classic Batman epic. How can I relate it to you? A Greek tragedy? 'The Iliad?' 'Macbeth?' It’s a giant movie. 'Avengers' was a great comic-book movie. 'The Dark Knight Rises' is a great epic."
Perhaps Nolan was aiming at the wrong auidience, or just maybe I like comic book movies. *shrug*

Just finished the movie, and I will add my vote to the "go see it" crowd. It certainly stands with the first two, makes a great conclusion, combines a couple comic storylines, and Anne Hathaway plays a pretty gpod catwoman.

Let's just say I don't think the problem is Nolan's.
Enjoyed the film immensely. It really caps off the series in a big way, and was quite enthralling. Tom Hardy's Bane was quite menacing, and they did a terrific job of making him seem quite a bit bigger than Hardy actually is. I was surprised by how much I liked Catwoman. Hatheway really pulled the character off quite well.
