I would say give Infinity War and Endgame a watch. The first is great comic book film (IMO) with a downer ending, while the latter is sort of three films at once.

Oh my ‘collectors phase’ of comic book reading has left me with quite a few duds.

THAT is the Batman logo*. I don’t know what DC keeps playing around it.

Ah right, gotcha!

I only found out recently that Temple of Doom was reclassified for Blu Ray and we finally get the uncut version for home release.

Noooooooooo.

I can’t think why :)

Tbf that Bond should never have been released in the summer.

The issue was further complicated by the VHS release of Batman being 15.

Wikipedia tells me that T2 was rated R.

Sorry I mean BR adaptation was released in 1992, round about when the film got released in July in UK.

Not sure about copying the US model. Not a good reference point but I keep thinking of South Park the Movie where the guys pay a hobo to be their “responsible adult” to let them see the Terrence and Philip film.

Haha I did the same with the comic book adaption of Batman Returns.

It’s hard to imagine now how huge Batman was back in 1989 for those of us at school. The teaser poster alone was a must have thing, along with Batman lunchboxes (when they were still a thing).

One template I didn’t like that was kept across nearly modern day superhero movies, which was killing off the villain at the end. As a comic book nerd I wanted the possibility of Batman fighting Joker again or Spider-Man taking on Doctor Octopus again. Killing the bad guy at the end made it too neat and tidy.

Pretty solid top 10, even if Ghostbusters II never reaches the levels of the first one.

Yeah maybe the old (fashioned?) sitcoms of the 70's and 80's were better at doing the tonal shifts because it fit in with the landscape of the time.

With Cliff it seemed like cartoon-ish hate, with Diane it seems more pointed.

Again I’m probably overthinking it and it’s just a sign of how the writer’s came up with their gags each week.

That’s probably what where I see the change too. Towards the end of Shelley Long’s reign (is that the right word?), there seems a be a greater disdain for Diane from the writers via Carla.
