((Myeh. I knew they weren't really going for campy. That just makes it all the better for me. It's like, in spite of the ******* mistakes that were made, what should have been a piece of **** turned out to be something highly entertaining. When the monkey at the typewriter turns out a good novel, it's still a good novel, even if the intended text was "give me another bannana, plz". ))

The best comic movie ever was Adam West Batman.

The theater I saw the second one in had some technical problems so I really couldnt enjoy seeing the sequel. To be fair though I will objectively watch it at home though before formulating an opinion on it.
((The Bale Batman movies still fail to capture the character as he appears in the comic book. They are good movies, but they still give me that feeling that the creators are ashamed to be dealing with a comic book. Like they gave him body armor. Batman generally doesn't wear it. And the whole ninja thing, while interesting, had nothing to do with the Ra's al Ghul I know. I understand that they're adapting to make it work, but they veered too far for me. Plus they're both too bleak for me to watch repeatedly ad nauseum.

Iron Man totally trumps the Batman movies on those counts. It perfectly captures the Tony Stark I remember from the good ol' Michelinie/Layton days. And it put him in a universe where there are other superheroes. It was awesome! Good performances. Great action. Dynamic storytelling. Snappy dialogue. Iron Man ftw!

And Hellboy is easily better in every respect than either Batman movie. IMHO.))

I adore Adam West. He, along with Alan Alda, tops my list of "bestest people ever".

Carrie was love-sick and self abusive, but she accepted that.

Miranda was a wannabe-feminist and tried to shove her personal dogma down everyone else's throat all the while, she was in complete denial over her own MAJOR flaws most of which were in direct contradiction with her "ideals." (And she never deserved Steve. Just sayin')
I think I may be tipsy enough to argue this.

Charlotte was a stupid little girl who was too idiotic and blind to ever consider that her whiny, sniveling desire to be a kept woman crippled her as a person.

Samantha was fine. Her libertine ways were her expression of her power.

Carrie was a masochist who ended up with Mr. Big, who was, honestly, a really lousy person.

Miranda was smart, sassy, and blessed with a sharp wit; she might have lacked a bit in the self-awareness arena, but her major flaw (i.e., the inherent contradiction of her viewpoints with her unrequited desires) were at least understandable, and characteristic of anybody in our generation.

((Remember the classic two-parter where Jill St. John was the Riddler's bad girl, and fell in love with Batman while she was disguised as Robin? And how about the way the Robin mask made her breasts disappear? Ahhhh... those were the days.))

*Rezzes thread*

Okay I had no where else to put this XD Hahaha

Anyway, a fabulous friend of mine out here in LaLa Land did the music (composed, wrote lyrics, etc) for this video. Its audio is NSFW so if you're going to watch it at work, put headsets in XD trust me. Visuals are not bad.

I wanted to share it cause I think it's freaking hilarious and I think you will too hahaha Not to mention, how awesome can it NOT be when they have Scott Baio?
