A local screening of BATMAN a few years ago was the first time I'd watched that movie since about 1990. And you are correct. Plus Batman straight-up murders at least a dozen of the Joker's goons.

True, true.

He got scurvy?

I can't imagine there's a big profit margin on those shovels after the materials, labor, that rig for painting them…

"I just like boats!" is one of the tv lines that gets repeated a lot in our house.

Well played, Ms. Grande.

Today I learned there's a Rifftrax of this on Amazon Prime.

"And I know, it’s not really my place as a critic to make that call."

RTM?

You keep being you, Mr. Shatner.

I think they're called rompers now.

I saw an advance screening, at the end of which someone shouted "GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE!". I swear it wasn't me.

The photo in the article is an example of that - toward the end of the run, they toned down a lot of the 80s-ness of Markie Post's wardrobe and hair (and Dan's, to a lesser extent).

It's also built on a misreading of the scene where he shouts "KHAAAAN" — because he knows Spock will be along to rescue them in a few hours, but needs to convince Khan, a man who does not do subtle, that he believes he's trapped.

Capital idea!

Yep. Everybody's getting old. Except me.

Every December, I'd look forward to his review of the Kathy Lee Gifford Christmas special.

Night Court has always seemed to me to share a lot of comedic DNA with shows like Barney Miller, Taxi, and News Radio. I'm not sure there's a current show that quite does the "collection of misfits and weirdos" thing the way these shows did. Maybe Brooklyn Nine Nine?

Between you and Skullcrshr I'm wondering if Buffalo Bill DVDs are ever sold at…oh, there ARE no more DVD stores. Never mind.
