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.

Do you have a link so I can get one?

Hmmmm. I put it up over a week ago, and I don't remember off hand where I grabbed it. Let me check some likely sources.

<runs off to look at various Batman image sites. 'Cause I'm just that selfless.>

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Thanks!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's probably a good sign for the movie that I'm having a hard time separating Movie!Bruce from Comics!Bruce, because the train of thought above was about to go into "and that's why Event X in Book Y has him so fucked up." before I realized that they're unmixy things.

Heh. Because Movie!Bruce (this movie) would never, not for a second, be able to resist taking home a boy whose parents died in front of him; and he wouldn't be able to stop himself from "firing" that boy when sidekicking got too dangerous (yeah, yeah, I know, retcon); and even though he had just fired his first sidekick b/c of danger, he *still* wouldn't be able to resist taking in yet another orphaned, damaged, angry boy.

Also, I love how they captured both the essential loneliness of Batman and how certain aspects of Bruce's personality were effectively arrested at age 8. His love for Rachel was a very non-sexual thing, a child's devotion to a playmate. I love my brooding repressed scary Bat god.

Seriously, the movie really *nailed* how utterly lonely Batman is, and has to be. (And I'm not sure why we're whitefonting that any more, but hey.)

beathen, I'm not really running across anything in the places I first thought to look. Sorry. It's a 132 KB jpg--could I just email you a copy?

move out and draw fire

Apropos of absolutely nothing, WotW in Greek is "O Polemekos sto Kosmon" and it stars Tom Kpouz.

Also, Mr. and Mrs. Smith has now officially had a longer run here than RotS did.

Signed, Misses going to movies so looks longingly at the marquees.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and it stars Tom Kpouz.

That's how I'm always going to think of him now. It's got the putz built right in!
