Yes, but if 12 Monkeys had sucked, many of us (Americans mostly, we really get the short end of the stick when it comes to foreign films and it was even worse when 12 Monkeys came out) might never have discovered La Jetée. Which is to say that if the TV series sucks, it might ruin both films for people who have never…

I can easily see Monkeys expanded into a TV series, even over multiple seasons, and while the movie is good, it's not quite on the masterpiece-level that would make a show based on Gilliam's Brazil completely superfluous.

It doesn't "other" the Syrians. If anything it points out how we "other" them by ignoring them. OP has it wrong.

It's really the opposite of callousness. He's pointing out how careless we are as a society that no one seems to raise an eyebrow to the kind of horrible shit that happens, but if a Kardashian shits a baby or someone the internet doesn't like gets cast in a coveted role, everyone has an opinion. We are a self-absorbed…

Yeah, I think you should have left it up there. I'm glad to see people like Joe Rogan and David Johnson trying to seize the opportunity to shine a light on some of the shit that is going on around the world that people pay no attention to. It's crazy—I'll share an article about NSA spying on FB and no one comments or…

There are days when I appreciate that the internet gives a voice to people who ordinarily might not have one. Today is not one of them.

Okay, okay. Sorry to offend you. I was just giving you a ribbing. It's hard to joke around on discussion forums. It rarely comes across as anything other than mean-spirited. Take care.

Well, he was pretty short (this was a problem for a lot of fans back then). Maybe that's why he seemed chubby. I tend to agree with you about Batman Returns. It had the mood of the first one, but it was lifeless, nonetheless. I think I remember hearing that Burton didn't want to make the film, but was contractually…

This guy is just a shit writer. I barely made it through Dies the Fire, and I wanted to set the book on fire when I finally finished it. Just awful, silly, contrived writing. Ugh.

Jesus, the first book was the best one!

Exactly. Remember that summer, man? I was also 13, and Batman was everywhere. It was an exciting time for comic book fans, and a big budget comic book movie that took itself seriously (that may not seem like the case now) was unheard of. I think you're totally right about cultural relevance as opposed to sheer film…

I think he was trying to be funny.

This. Is. Hysterical.

Keaton was reviled by fans—until they saw the film. Burton's films may seem dated to you at this point, but they were hugely successful, and Keaton's turn as the Bat was critically acclaimed—as was Nicholson's as the Joker. You may not agree, and that's fine. But I have to say that I have a hard time believing that…

I'm with you, man. It's so unfortunate that SO MANY so-called sci-fi films are wasted because they are horror films.

white people pretty much discovered nothing.

When studying Western history, we tend to say that this European explorer discovered this continent or that island, when those lands were already long inhabited.

Everything I needed to know about dinosaurs I learned from the Dinobots.

Just wave your hand at them, and tell them they didn't see what they thought they saw.

Ha ha! Funniest thing I've seen online all day. Well done.
