I attribute it to too many Batnuts. By which I mean Bat-Doughnuts.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Are we looking at the same poster? Where is the Batfat? I see none.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Where is the Batfat? I see none.
There's a bulge at the waist, which I presume is the utility belt.

The 11-year-old boy is entirely too cute. I like the movie -- it's snuggly.
The only storyline that pissed me off was the Keira Knightly one, because it seems like a really nasty thing to do to the girl -- "I'm going to ignore you and act like I hate you for years and years, and when you're married I'm going to make a declaration of love, and then we have to act like nothing happened for the rest of our lives." Fuck that noise. He should have either never told her, or told her when there was some possibility of her reciprocating without crushing a man they both, allegedly, love.
I know we aren't supposed to think about it that way, but it just fills me with a fury.

Gotcha. That didn't register as Batfat with me -- I figured utility belt. But if it IS Batfat, I would be opposed to such.

I have a feeling Love Actually will just annoy me, as love stories tend to do.
I have no heart-magic.

Lyra, that didn't bother me because I saw it as he tried as best he could to keep it a secret, and she figured it out by watching the tape, that he really did not want to show her. Then he did the declaration thing at the door to put some sort of closure on the whole thing, since she knew now, and it was awkward, and weird. I saw it as a way of acknowledging the feelings, while trying to establish a friendliness that was never really in the relationship, and to putting an end to this period in their lives. I don't know, it didn't bother me at all. I actually enjoyed their storyline.

You know what, Alli? i got so pissed off by the showing up with cue cards thing that I completely forgot about the video. I still think it was a dumbass, mean-if-well-intentioned thing for him to do all told, but you're right that it makes it a little more understandable.

I say it's BatGut bulging over the BatTightyWhiteys.

Glad I could help, Lyra.
I think it's a Bat utility belt. But the question to be asking is why does he need such a corset-like utility belt? To hold in the BatGut? Perhaps. I mean, he does wear a lot of slimming black.
