Someone else who gets it.
I think Batman has a larger body count in Batman Returns than the Penguin did.
Burton doesn't "Get" Batman. It's clear that Burton has more interest in the villains than Wayne, and that leads to unguided movies.

I think Inception proves you wrong, but whatever. I'm not going to waste my time explaining why the Nolan movies are the truest adaptation of Batman thus far because you won't listen anyway. OUtside of mispronouncing Ra's as Raz, they were accurate.

I watched Life of Pi. I'm glad I'm not in a boat right now, because there's a lightning storm going on outside right now.

I just watched Prometheus for the first time. I enjoyed it over all but I think it could've been a little shorter and still been a good movie. The story was there, and it was an excellent prequel to the Aliens Franchise. Spiritual or Direct.

Here's hoping we get an updated rebooted Alien movie now. Which if they do better have a strong female protaginist like Ripley.

I guess I could cross this over into the anime thread, but I just went to my local arthouse cinema screening of From Up on Poppy Hill. I think Goro Miyazaki has made up for Earthsea with this, which is potentially one of my favourite Ghibli movies yet.

Are they doing that where you live to? We have that going on at a local theater here in CO as well.

Yeah, just as well I have one nearby because no multiplex is carrying it despite them all playing trailers for it ¬¬

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Mediocrity - This movie was not all that great. If you hated the first one, you will not even want to waste your time with this movie. If you liked the first one, it could go either way, but I found it to be very subpar. The plot of the movie was pretty simple and easy to follow, but the execution was just so boring. For a movie called Sea of Monsters, we didn't really see that many monsters. In fact, there was hardly even anything show in the actual sea. Not to mention the acting seemed to regress from the previous movie, as the guy that played Luke was terrible. It also did not help that the cast sometimes did not even react to a Manticore jumping in front of them. Even the action was boring because most of it was over quickly and sometimes, with Kratos-like kills that made no sense. There is also something that happens to another character towards the end, but the problem was fixed so quickly, it was pointless to even bother with because the drama did not even have time to develop. Overall, the movie was a vast disappointment. It isn't bad enough that I wouldn't go see a third movie if there were to be one, but I would not care if there is not another one either. I give the movie a 4/10.
