I also question what happened to Gambol- Joker has his knife in his face and says "why so serious"- the Joker does not move and the guy drops like a rock- did he FAINT?

I think the implication is that he sliced his mouth open with a flick of the wrist.

Really? I watched his arms and saw nothing-but I suppose it is possible.

However- he just dropped. Not the reaction I would expect from a guy with a cut like that-limp? Just drop to the floor? No hands to the face- no sound?

I remember this bit. She's got a point. DON'TQUOTEME

Did they show the results of the magic trick? I shut my eyes so I saw the joker grab his head then him falling to the ground.

It happens fast and you don't see much other than the fact that the pencil is gone.

BarTopDancer · 07-24-2008, 09:38 AM

Thanks. Maybe I'll keep my eyes open the 2nd time.

Yeah, I think it was earlier in this thread that I said that moment was about one of the most raw and brutal I've ever seen on film without being at all explicit.

innerSpaceman · 07-24-2008, 09:53 AM

That's what I loved about it.

The mouth-slitting, though. That's another story. It's what I assumed happened, but yeah - the victim reaction made little sense.

I'm seeing it again this weekend. Critical eye and all that, I wonder if I'll like it as much. It was a BIG mistake to see Indy again.

During the film I thought I was missing a lot and needed to see it again...but that may be because Begins was so damn good on the second viewing.

Ghoulish Delight · 07-24-2008, 11:06 AM

I definitely want to see it again, in hopes that knowing where it's going will help it feel less rambling.
