The Batman (June 25, 2021)

Or I could be like the guy in "Pi" and take a power drill to my head, so that I can join the drooling morons that flock to movie theaters and laugh and clap when they see the same dumb old **** they've seen untold dozens of times before.

"Huuuhhh....Batman has a car.....it's loud.....loud car neat....huuuuh."

I liked the movie for what it was; a good comic book movie.

I'm not one to dwell on the intricacies of the story. If I find it entertaining, which I found The Batman to be, then I like it.

Siiiiiiiigh.

Being right all the time is such a curse.

You liked Matrix: Resold so I can sleep well at night.

Just watched Dano get arrested and his scene in the cell -- my two favorite scenes of Riddler.

I can't see how anyone today with what's going on in the news constantly doesn't find his boyish-innocence-turned-psychotic totally frightening and true.

I wish there was more Riddler in the movie, but like the shark in Jaws, less is probably more.

Not faulting anyone who enjoyed this but...to each their own.

I made it in about 20 minutes. No thanks.

At least I'll save a fortune on Hot Toys.

It truly has the best batman intro ever.

I like it that we are lead to believe that Gordon lit the bat signal for Batman to address the Halloween crime but he really did it for the Riddler murder screw the low level quality of life crime.

This movie was perfect timing what with the massive increase in crime due to failed policies and rampant corruption.

I’m also really liking grizzled Alfred more and more in this.

This seems to be a very divisive Batman.

jye, you get your Batman light?

 

[jye4ever]

jye, you get your Batman light?

Not yet hopefully soon

 

[Wor-Gar]

Batman light? You mean like Snyder -- Batfleck lite?

I like a heavier, darker Batman myself.

 

[jye4ever]

The movie is mesmerizing I just enjoy looking at it.

Reminds me of ESB I put it on and my mind immediately calms down it’s soothing.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's true... there is something hypnotic about it. I find the original Blade Runner to be the same way for me.

Well, I would post this photo...but I don't want to get banned again.

Just Google "black guy light switch sticker" for the joke.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I like the Han in Carbonite one.

siiiigh.

Was the last original spark of thought in film way back in "Rosemary's Baby" when Polanski tricked the audience to subconsciously try to peer around the corner of a room from their seats in the movie theater.

I'm starting to think so.

No. It was the barrel in Jaws.

JAWS I had seen bits and pieces of as a kid (pun intended) but I never actually sat down and watched it straight through til I was about 30. Sacrilege, I know, but I think in my mind I confused it with the lackluster sequels and always assumed it was "cheesy."

So I sat down one night, alone, and watched it start to finish, and my jaw was wide open the whole time. It's a MASTERPIECE. Every frame a damn masterpiece, even that throw away like "That's one bad hat, Harry."

I don't know if this was the first use of the camera push way in while the camera also pulls back, ( doubt it) but it sure as hell is the most well known, iconic, and instantly recognizable.





And "We're gonna need a bigger boat." Truly just an ad-lib? Makes no difference; it's the no. 3 best line of all time on some prestigious list.

And if you didn't get at least a dribble of pee-pee in your pants the first time you saw this??? I'm gonna call you a liar!!






TL;DR......"The Batman" sucks and "JAWS effing rules.
