Excellent. I'm going to be watching that sometime this week. (It came in from Netflix over the weekend.)
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

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.

Okay, ow.
Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
I'm getting ready to head out for a bit, and S is watching Tammy and the Doctor, the third Tammy movie, starring Sandra Dee and Peter Fonda. It also features a young and dashing Adam West as a playboy doctor in the early 60's mode. I watched one scene with him in it, as he hits on Tammy, and it was actually kind of.... well, good. And very Bruce Wayne. Three years before he would actually take on the role for the first time.
And now I'm picturing him at that age in a better costume, with a modern Batman/Bruce Wayne role to inhabit, and good direction, and it's kind of working for me. I find myself pining for an Adam West Batman we never got and it's breaking my brain.
Ow.

You make me wonder if 40 years from now Christian Bale is going to be a kook pitching an Uncle Batman character to whoever's making the Batman entertainment in the 2040s.

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.
You know, I have to wonder, had the old show been done serious instead of campy, if West would be doing that sort of thing now. Has he ever discussed having read the comcs? I suspect his only example of the character was the one he portrayed, so Batman is probably firmly entrenched in his mind as being "silly". (As it was for many people until Burton's Batman.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
To be fair, 60s era Batman comics were as silly as the show...

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have to confess an unhealthy love for the '60s TV show. And especially the '60s movie.
But then, I like high camp.
