    @MIKEBLACKATTACK: "You'd think having your parents murdered before your eyes would be the worst thing that could happen to Batman."

Personally, I can't imagine that Affleck is worse than Val Kilmer as Bats.

Val Kilmer was an excellent Batman, perhaps one of the best.  The problem is he was a terrible Bruce Wayne.

So I watched Anna Karenina yesterday. Definately an interesting take, though i thought the first 30 minutes with all the quick scene changes and operatic like quality was actually distracting, but seems as though the director toned that down for the last hour and a half.  I thought it was entertaining and worth watching, l think though it lacked the feel of a Russian story. Wasn't dark and moody enough. If I was a school teacher teaching the book, this would't be the film version I'd show them.

And that's the crux of casting Batman. You want someone who's a believable business tycoon, but also an action hero. On top of that, you need someone who has a certain gravitas, because Batman in general is a no-nonsense hard ass who's swallowed a half dozen broom sticks.

That's why Christian Bale was worked so well, he could deal with both characters.  Until he did that bullshit with his voice that seemed to get worse over time. 

[Neil]

Probably unavoidable.  Luckily, You're Next is a comedy about the uselessness of rich people, so everyone can enjoy.  Wait.

I can deal with your jealousy towards the rich.  The red-lines are animal rights and strategic bombing.

Two great tastes that go great together!

Somebody is showing off their desktop wallpaper.

[CountDeMoney]

Nah, haven't used that one in ages.

Using this one now:

[The Brain]

What is it?

[garbon]

What is it?

Raining kittens.

[Eddie Teach]

Why are all the kittens clones?

[Neil]

Why are all the kittens clones?

Not only that, but they've been surgically altered to include bomb bays.  CdM betrays his hatred of animals.

[CountDeMoney]

Nonsense.  The CarpetFresh Bombing of Dresden was a thing of beauty.

[The Brain]

Finished Spartacus (TV show). It is totally decent. And edumacational for the masses.
