was "ice to see you" a deliberate bite of McBain or is it possible that two individual minds could come up with such genius?

blueski, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Batman and Robin clearly had about a hundred minds involved in the scriptwriting process.

"Can you be cold, Batman? You have eleven minutes to thaw a bird. What will you do? Chase the villain or save the boy? Your emotions make you weak. That's why this day is mine!"

i think i'd rather have another adam west-era tribute like this than serious dark knight is serious.

"Hello, Sorry about the door, Is the party over?"

hope this one was actually sincere

blueski, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link

ha, i missed the "thaw a bird" part of that line

latebloomer, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link

"Chase the villain or save the boy"

in every batman story ever...

"If I must suffer, humanity will suffer with me."

-credo of Joel Schumacher

Dr Morbius, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link

did he mean Robin re 'thaw a bird'?

blueski, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link

"Take two of these, and call me in the morning."

what is he referring to here

and what, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:45 (sixteen years ago) link

snowballs

Mr. Que, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link

I reckons he meant Thora Hird myself!

Mark G, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link

'You have eleven minutes to Thora Hird'.

omg, I'm just imagining Arnie saying that.

speaking of George Clooney, he and Renee Zellweger came to the theater I used to work at on Wednesday for a special screening of "Leatherheads" (he filmed it here in Greenville, SC).

latebloomer, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:57 (sixteen years ago) link

if i had had the chance to attend i so would've yelled a B&R line at him

latebloomer, Friday, 28 March 2008 15:58 (sixteen years ago) link

man I remember my housemate bringing home the script of this movie (she was doing editing for it) and the many roflz it provided. I never actually saw the finished film tho.

"What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!"

not even scientifically accurate:(

latebloomer, Friday, 28 March 2008 16:00 (sixteen years ago) link

xp: Leatherheads badly needs some of these Mr Freeze lines

Dr Morbius, Friday, 28 March 2008 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

all these lines remind me of the 30 rock "ITS SO GREAT WE CAN WRITE WHILE WERE ON COKE" bit

max, Friday, 28 March 2008 16:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Clooney as Bats is such horrible horrible miscasting.

exactly what brilliant skills are needed for a "good" Batman, fanboys?

SOME folx can write on coke, or the original SNL wouldn't have been so much fucking funnier than Tina Fey.

Dr Morbius, Friday, 28 March 2008 16:11 (sixteen years ago) link

watching the youtube clip of "highlights" i realized i had totally forgotten about the BATMAN CREDIT CARD

Gilda Radner's cool but it's not like she's the GOAT

Meadows was pretty funny in Walk Hard

how did i miss this thread's revival?!?

KARLOR CAN FUCK ANYTHING! AND HE WILL AND HAS!!! (Eisbaer), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 00:33 (eleven years ago) link

the timeline goes like this iirc

--McBain says "Ice to see you" as general Arnold parody in 1994
--Batman and Robin comes out in 1997, and I end up saying "Ice to see you" to my friend like 100 times before movie comes out, pretty much every time the preview airs, annoying the piss out of him.
--I watch movie (sucks) and that line doesn't actually appear in it.

y'all wasted yr votes

i just saw the new expendables movie and any of these lines would have been preferable to what arnold says in this one.

Watching this just now and after reeling in horror during the museum heist at the beginning I'm not sure that I don't see exactly what Schumacher was trying to do and am actually quite enjoying it.

this was kind of wild, i found about this during a checkup with my cardiologist. pretty cool to hear it was non-invasive surgery (rather than the chest-cracking one i endured at 10 months of age). maybe if i have to get surgery again i can get the Arnold version
