Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

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.

Tim Burton overcame Adam West.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

No more of a hurdle than, say, Adam West and the homoerotic camp of the Batman TV series.

I'd like to see the Batusi in the current comics.

Tim Burton overcame Adam West.

And Joel Schumaker quickly regressed. There's a lot of people who are still stuck in the mindset.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't love the Schumaker Batman, but I don't see it as being in the same spirit as Adam West, at all.

I'd like to see the Batusi in the current comics.

Maybe you will if Quentin Tarrantino ever licenses rights for a comics adaptation of Pulp Fiction.

You mean it's not homoerotic camp?

Far be it from me to deem all homoerotic camp as the same.

While it may also be homoerotic and camp, I don't think it is in vaguely similar ways.

And Joel Schumaker quickly regressed.

And Chris Nolan may wind up rescuing the franchise and elevating it to a whole new level.

I have my hopes.

I can't even.

I have my hopes.

It's so cute how not-jaded you are, despite living in the belly of the beast.

Well, at the very least, it doesn't look campily homoerotic.
