I liked Bettany more than the film. It didn't grab me that hard.

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.

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

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I dearly love the idea of Crispin Glover playing the Joker, though. I have a hard time picturing Bettany, but I bet he'd do well.
Also, I don't think I came here after I saw Batman to voice my FUCK YEAH!

Hey. New board.
Whatever they decide for the Joker, I hope if they intend to introduce Two-face in the third movie they bring in Dent in the second as an ally for Batman, so that watchers understand that he really is a good guy, if possibly a bit unbalanced. That way they can throw the acid on his face pretty early in the third movie, rather than needing to spend too much time on the backstory, and we can even spend a good portion of the movie focusing on his mad reactions to the scarring.
Of course, that means the casting committee has to decide on casting for the two most important (probably) villains in the Batman universe by the second movie, but if the X-Men crew could cast all those folks, surely they can pull it off. (Alexis Denisof for Dent!)

I heard rumors that they would bring in Dent and it would be the Joker who would, in fact, throw the acid. I don't know if rumors get whitefont, but if not, so be it. Better safe than sorry.
And hopefully I'll be seeing BB tomorrow. It's going to be mid-90s+ and humid here, so I think I'm coming into work and spending as much day time in AC as humanly possible (hence lunch and a movie working out really well with my plans).

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My movie plan for today is the 5:00 show of The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, because Mark Bittner (the man in the movie) is speaking after the movie. V. cool.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bettany. Glover. Ach, too hard! They need to submit their reels TO ME.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Frank- I just read an article in Premier from a couple months ago where Goyer pretty much states that's the plan the for the next two Batman films, provided Chris Nolan is willing to do them.

Hey, I'll help you out. I'll evaluate Bettany.

Thrive to spite them
Today's paper had a review of Bewitched pulled from somewhere that has to be the nicest review out there. It wasn't a glowing review, but the nicest one I've seen.
