He is full of get rich quick schemes

Carlton has come down in the world and is playing the Geoffrey role

I feel like Carpenter would spend most of the rest of his life talking about Elvis if you gave him the chance

I'm normally big on commentaries but a lot of Carpenter's are like 50-70% dead air, particularly for movies he's not that invested in

i am assuming this movie was banking on the idea that there would be at least one sketch in this that would hit everyone in the audience's very specific fetish

So obvously Dee is Wonder Woman, but who is Bats? It's so easy to picture any of the other three in that position

The key to that team is that Neal Adams is doing the art (great!) but not the writing (holy shit have you read the thing Neal Adams wrote where Batman fights his way to the center of the earth, because Neal Adams irl believes the Mole People theory)

This is still a Zack Snyder film we're talking about, right? So far I think he's like 0 for 6 in terms of movies where there are plots in which people do and say things in such a way that the events make sense

I think Affleck is almost certainly not to blame for this mess

Iron Man 3 is my favorite specifically because it's just a Shane Black movie- it even has a beginning, middle, and end to its character arcs, so you aren't constantly reminded that it's an episode of the ongoing Marvel Serialized Fiction Story as much. Guardians is a little more compromised, but it's my second…

I can see that, I guess, but he hits different notes- I always felt like he was trying to make more of like a 30s Batman in the first one, where the audience doesn't really know the story yet and everything takes place in this really unreal world. Batman Returns is almost totally a Burton movie, too.

Performing altruistic acts of heroism, eh? Well I do that, and I'm a complete monster! Alfred, get me my god murdering weapon!

He has to kill Superman, because, what if it turned out Superman were evil. What then.

It's not just that it was shark repellent- it's that it was specifically bat themed shark repellent, somehow. Adam West is the most anal retentive hero ever conceived.

I honestly am having a hard time imaging a movie whose explicit premise was "Batman hasn't met Superman yet but BOY does he want to kill him" that seems like it has a lot of promise- like, for that to be the case, you have to warp these interesting figures into something either totally unrelated to their other…

If you're gonna go hate watch it, at least pay for something else and sneak in (after opening weekend, so you're not running into assigned seating)

I could not be readier for Batman on screen to work through this Frank Miller fix it's been on since Nolan got to it- like I like the Nolan movies, but that's in part because he got bored with this aesthetic fairly quickly. Miller's is just not that rich a vision, and I'm ready for people to look elsewhere for…

Oh, ok- Chapterhouse is kind of a blur lol

I mean the whole story is basically doing the standard sci fi messianic tropes only replacing the Christ allegory with the Prophet- and like, that's vaguely conscious, artifacts like the Orange Catholic bible and Missionaria Protectiva are meant to get a sense that the elements of religion and culture are still there,…

The two people in question are like magical space Jews who live outside of time- I think Herbert was maybe riffing on the Wandering Jew idea? the fucked up parts of his brain get pretty overwhelming as the series goes on
