I had a copy of the Mask Strikes Back, think my dad got it because his work got copies of new books people could take and he thought because it was a comic thing I might like it. It was legit terrifying, incredibly dark and violent, nothing like the film.

yeah I knew that. And even if I hadn’t little Bruce introducing himself would have been a dead give away…

Nicholson is only 14 years older than Keaton though. Joaquin is 34 years older than the boy who played Bruce.

I had one that was Marshall Law vs The Mask. But I never got part 2.

I also had one that was Marshall Law vs Hellraiser. Also failed to get part 2 of that.

Still the point stands, they are not contemporaries and people have remarked that Nicholson’s was too old.

(Keaton was considered bad casting prior too.)

saw this last night. went with a friend who realised he hadn’t seen a non-comic book movie at the cinema all year, or last year and, in fact, probably since star wars episode 8

right now protesters in lebanon and chile are appropriating aesthetics from the film for the purposes of civil disobedience to highlight economic inequality. fuck the libs.

here is a lebanese woman dressed like the joker waving her flag in front of some fire.

Have liked now. I think it was because at the time I wasn’t really reading the thread due to not wanting to see spoilers and then I didn’t end up going back through it.
