The Ventriloquist NOT a good villain? Are you fucking kidding me? 10 times the schemer that the Penguin is, plus a schizophrenic psychopath to boot. I would have LOVED to see Nolan include the Ventriloquist in a Batman film... maybe like this:

Oooh - nice. Well played.

Mind = Blown.

I loathe Will Ferrell and loved this movie.

Vindicated.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

I WANT TO KNOW MORE!!!

OH HELL YES!

I hope Godzilla is as good as Monsters was...

I aim to misbehave.

Well hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things, right now: Jack and shit... and Jack left town.

"Why me?"

I'm sorry. Mother of Dragons just needs to burn this shit down. It's beyond dumb.

Yes she does.

I was gonna say - "Where's the freakin' GUNSTAR?"

Still the spookiest ship in the galaxy.

Good! What is a truck?

SPACESHIP!!

While not talking about the VFX industry, I think the great Harlan Ellison sums up this pretty well:

Easy - Good in beginning.
