Batman Begins Again

If you are geeky enough, you might spend hours on that site.

 

Superman Returns was great, but Batman Begins was the superior film. Jeez, I plunked down $8 for Red Eye based on Murphy's performance as Dr. Crane.

If you thought Punisher was bad, check out Ghost Rider. It's a C-movie at best. I liked it as a dumb action, but it was awful.

 

You know, I never did, man. I'm going to have to go and look for that. I like Jane, he's a cool dude.

 

Oh, boy, is that true. Van Damme as 'Guile.' And I like Van Damme, but that was just bunk.

I think that was Raul Julia's (Major Bison) last acting work. Let's all have a moment of silence for that injustice...

 

That was truly sad. Raul Julia was too good for that to be his last work. Beyond awful.

And that site grouping comic book characters by their religion was funny stuff. But what the heck do they mean by Jewish Catholics? Is that like Jews for Christ? You know what a Jew for Christ really is? A Christian! Either Jesus was the savior or not. Pick a side, damnit!

Ok..rant over...

 

<---- This is what the Joker will look like. Thankfully, they ditched the "funny" and went for "fearsome."

 

He was great in The Core.

 

Nicholson's Joker was great.
That first 'Batman' was a good, different movie when it came out.
The rest of the series was dopey, but the first one was good.
I never followed the Frank Miller comics. Never read 'The Killing Joke.' Do they have to be the definitive Batman now?
Batman has been around in many incarnations, even before the above mentioned publications.

 

Robin Williams was the first choice for The Joker. And he still might be a good fit.

 

They wanted the actor playing the Joker to be close in age to Christian Bale (33). Ledger will be 28 in April.

 

Nothing about Heath Ledger screams that he has the capacity to play a nutcase. Nothing he's done to this point. Yeah, let's choose parsley to be our signature villain. That'll go over well with the fans.

 

People didn't like the choice of Keaton for Batman, and that turned out pretty good.
