It's interesting looking back now how a lot of critics and audiences thought Batman Forever was the best Batman film at the time, since it wasn't as dark as Burton's films. Kilmer got a lot of praise, too, for "making the role his own" and looking more like a Hollywood blockbuster star than Keaton ever did.

I think it's frequently valid to criticize casting decisions. If you would have laughed at Keanu Reeves being cast as a Brit in Bram Stoker's Dracula, history would have proven your superficial judgement 100% correct.

Considering Batman is known for his strength and knowledge, you'd think he would be seen working out or at least reading a book. But no, he's just sitting in his chair, staring forlornly. 
I think that as an actor Keaton did a good job, but as a human being he just really doesn't have the physicality for the role. But…

Lazenby is certainly unloved. I think Dalton's problem is just that he was only in two movies, neither of which is popular among casual fans, so a lot of people probably only know him as "that guy who wasn't in many Bond movies" and assume that's because he was a bad Bond.

I just want to say that "The Twilight Show" made me imagine a vintage episode of The Tonight Show, but hosted by Rod Serling instead of Johnny Carson, which was a fun mental image.

I don't dislike the song, but he may be right about those lyrics. They are the kind of lines you chuckle at, and then suddenly realize you can't really explain what the "joke" is. What mostly throws me is that the first two verses work (just barely) as double entendres, and then the final verse about tangerines is…

Ohioan here.

Pitiful. You're probably the kind of man who wouldn't even think to check if someone was wearing a false mustache.

I agree with everything you said here, except maybe that Great Dictator is one of Chaplin's lesser works. I still think that's one of his essentials, even if I prefer TBONTB as both a comedy and a (comparatively subtle) satire.

How was everybody's Labor Day? I went to the Reds game. Got a free Joe Morgan stein.

So basically what you're saying is that this IS better than Old Man Townshend's 1979 "The Kids Are All Right" rockumentary and also omg who even IS Pete Townshend he sounds like some old stupid grandpa?

I thought you were joking, scrolled up to check, and saw that he really directed this. I can die happy now.

..that you want to fellate erotically.

Hey, Kyle, it's your cousin Killbot!…. Killbot RYAN!!!….You know that new compact car you've been looking for? Well listen to this!!

The whole thing probably just makes him feel really old. The amount of time between the Adam West Batman movie in '66 and Keaton's first Batman in '89 (23 years) is actually less than the amount of time that has passed between Batman 89' and now.

I do like the fact that the internet has rallied around the belief that Bryan Cranston shaves his head for the show he is in right now and, ergo, is the perfect Lex Luthor.

I believe in Larry Dent.

I went to Toronto over the summer for a few days. The poutine is pretty good. Also, their McDonalds have a McLobster that is surprisingly decent. Cost me six Canada Fun Bucks, or whatever the fuck they call their money.

He actually spells it "Jon," unless of course you are referring to some guy I don't know who is named John Hamm, in which case, yeah, he would probably be a better choice than Affleck.
