I may not read headlines of posts all the time but at least I can identify space pirates by sight. Also Batman Begins was the only really good Batman flick in the Nolan trilogy. The Dark Knight is maybe half a good movie. Dark Knight Rises is over long and BORING. Bane is the only half decent thing about it and even he isn't really that entertaining. If it wasn't for you recognition of Robocop as the greatest movie ever I'd think you were insane because of your love of DKR. ReplyDelete Replies Reply DM 21 November 2012 at 15:39 Wow, Andrew! You really know your Star Wars. I was tempted to call out the Count when he was talking but I held back. Because he was talking. I have to say, I like all the Nolan Batman movies. I'm unlikely to watch DKR over and over again, like I do the opening scene of DK, but still. ReplyDelete Replies Andrew Barr 22 November 2012 at 10:22 yeah I really enjoyed Batman Begins and DK when I first watched them but watching 'em again just before seeing DKR i realized how draggy DK was, its like two vaguely decent movies jammed together. After seeing DKR I was kind of surprised at how in love with it everyone seemed. Can't wait to hear what you guys think of the character who shows up at the end of Ip Man 2. I thought the actor was spot on with the mannerisms. its almost eerie. Also thanks for mentioning which ones you've found on Netflix. gives me some good ideas on what I should check out.

Weird how at first they blended well, but then one narrative just stops dead, only to be picked up at the end. And by that time, everyone's ready to go home. It's surprisingly inept.

ReplyDelete Replies Reply busterggi 24 November 2012 at 20:07 My dear DM, surely you are familiar with the 'discovered manuscript' in literature, Lovecraft practically used it to death (although as heworshipped Poe it was inevitable) and as such its almost a requirement for Lovecraftian pastiche. ReplyDelete Replies Reply DM 25 November 2012 at 09:25 I've seen about two minutes of Ricki-Oh, and it's the scene where he punches a guy through the chest. I suppose I do know about the discovered manuscript given how much Lovecraft I've read, but I never gave it much thought. So when I read about in that article, I didn't put the two together. Dumb, I know :P ReplyDelete Replies Reply Add comment Load more...
