Tom Cruise headlines two successful franchises, Will Smith is a that guy in an ensemble spin-off.

It's apt that someone who looks and acts like total shit should be making a film about a character that smells and acts like total shit.

My high school was pretty posh so we had houses like that too but never saw anything like that at any of the universities I've been to.

Do they have fraternities at British universities? My mum was really disappointed - I can stop the sentence there - that I never joined one but I've never heard of them as existing outside of the US.

Nobody else goes to the movies these days.

I don't know how trying to actually kill the bad guy instead of just shuffling people out of his way is considered mindless and indifferent.

I wish they'd go back to the Burton/Schumacher/Nolan version of Bruce Wayne as a psychotic, crippling vigilante. Spending that much time and effort on an outfit, gadgets and persona and then killing people is too much for me.
