I don't really know much about generations, you have found me out. It's true that the people I consider good-looking are like better versions of me. Anyway, lots of people do swoon at Cillian Murphy's looks, is the point. Those eyes!

Oh no I know there are certainly ppls who do, I'm just saying that "he is considered the best looking actor of his generation" seems like the kind of sweeping overstatement that even I wouldn't approach. Well, ok, I might, but it'd be silly.

I was attention-seeking through hyperbole.

Tart.

i don't get why they're doing the Joker again; didn't "batman" cover the creation of the Joker already?

Nolan is doing it right this time.

over time I've come to think that the Burton/Nicholson version of the Joker is actually pretty awful. Having watched it again recently, the first Burton Batman movie is an incredibly clumsy and misconceived enterprise (the second one is actually WAY better!)

Isn't this kind of like asking "I don't get why the Superman movie go into his origin; didn't they cover that in the television show?"

(Basically, the fact that they're both movies about Batman does not mean that they are canonical with each other.)

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope the script's a little less starchy this time. No gangsters who say things like "you've never tasted desperate."

Easily the best ever. Next comes the original original Adam West movie.

You think Christian Bale might drop his gravelly 7-year-old-pretending-to-be-the-boogeyman "I'M BATMAN" voice and just use his Bruce Wayne one? It's so ridiculous as is. Halle Berry gave up her African (I assume that's what she was going for) Storm accent after the first movie, so there's precedent.

― Zwan (miccio), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 20:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Remember the voice modulators used in this film?

OUT

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link

not before i bite yer nose off like the penguin!

honestly though, i'm sick of almost anything burton-related these days.

i loved it as a kid.

― de latebloomer's 2015 youth crew revival (latebloomer), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah Burton's promise has been badly squandered. He had a nice streak there for little while tho.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

nothing will ever top the first batman, except maybe an appearance by bat-mite

The first Batman movie hasn't aged as well I as thought it would.

batman returns would be better without the penguin.

b-b-but his lil' funeral march chokes me up every time!!!

― literalisp (literalisp), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah the penguin shit is what sinks that film

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:55 (seventeen years ago) link

When we say first Batman movie are we talking about the one with Adam West or the one with Robert Wuhl? Because the one with Adam West is great.

― Zwan (miccio), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:56 (seventeen years ago) link

tim burton hasn't made a film i've enjoyed in the past fifteen years, though 'sleepy hollow' was alright.

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:56 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, Ed Wood + the first two-thirds of Sleepy Hollow and about half of Mars Attacks more than dignifies Tim Burton's last fifteen years.

maybe i should re-change my login name to "the arms of orion"

― PARTYMAN (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I like everything in Mars Attacks except Nicholson's Vegas dude and the gratuitous Danny DeVito cameo.

I sold the Batman soundtrack for 2 bucks in 7th grade, and I really regret it.

― Zwan (miccio), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 23:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i revisited it last year while at the record store and, um, yeah

― PARTYMAN (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

i had the soundtrack on cassete. i'd clean my room while listening to it.

this movie, "buffalo stance," and my sisters perm are pretty much the defining moments of the late 80s for me
