What Movie Did You Just Watch

You don't remember Vicki Vale's name? You must not have read All-Star Batman & Robin.

This is something I've been really wanting to do, but I need to catch up on my Batman reading.

What did I just read?

Really, just look at Returns as Tim Burton directing an episode of the 1960's Batman TV series, and you'll find a lot to like.

Sold!

I will say that I thought Anne Hathaway kicked ass. And who doesn't like Burgess Meredith or Eartha Kitt?

Anne Hathaway succeeded at shear hotness. But I don't remember Nolan doing much with her character at all.

I've seen that one before. "I'm the goddamn Batman" is so un-Batman like.

[Spark Of Spirit]

The only thing I didn't like in Batman was that they made The Joker the one to kill Batman's parents. I never liked the idea of making one of the rogues gallery the one to kill his parents.

As for Returns, I still don't care for it. But then, I've never been one for Tim Burton outside of a handful of movies.

[talonmalon333]

I think Burton's best movie is Ed Wood by far.

I was going to mention this somewhere else, but Corpse Bride is underrated as fuck.

This.

In all honestly, I like Corpse Bride just as much as A Nightmare Before Christmas.

Just watched 30 minutes of Van Hellsing... I'm still a loss for words as to how I thought this movie was cool when I was a kid. The only redeeming feature is Hugh Jackman giving a good performance. Everything else is just horrid.

My stepmom's ex-son-in-law was Frankenstein in that movie.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I will forever hate that movie with a burning passion for pretty much ruining one of the most classic lines in cinema history from my favorite movie ever made.

[Avaitor]

Welp, I just saw the Wolverine. I honestly enjoyed it a lot. Granted, if you're sick of super hero movies, this won't blow you away or make you change your mind. But I had enough fun with it to not feel like I wasted my time.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Oh, I forgot to mention that I saw it two weeks ago. It was a fun action movie.

Better than the first in any case.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I posted my thoughts on it a few weeks ago, but yeah, it didn't do much for me, personally.

Also, speaking of movies that we saw a while back and never talked about, I saw The Conjuring on the weekend of its release. Honestly, it's probably the best horror movie that I've seen from the past decade or so, which isn't necessarily saying too much considering how much garbage we got out of the last 10 - 15 years of horror flicks, but suffice it to say that I found the movie to be legitimately good. It didn't actually scare me, but the atmosphere was great, there was way less reliance on blood, gore, and shock value than you would expect, and the movie had a lot of legitimately tense and creepy moments to it. I also found the characters likable, so that's a big plus. It's certainly nothing groundbreaking, but it really made me feel relieved to see a really well-made modern horror movie after so many years.
