Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

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.

I think George Clooney would have had a shot in a decent movie at being The Batman, but he didn't, so Bale's my favourite Batman and Bruce Wayne by far. And so compellingly pretty.

You know, when I saw it in IMAX this past Sunday, the theatre was so full I was in row 3 all the way out to the edge. Only about 15 seats free, if that. Month and a half later, almost.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I saw it on IMAX in Chicago last Monday, at a 4PM show. I think it was sold out.

I think everyone wants to see this on Imax, and I'd also bet that anyone seeing it more than once is going to try to catch it on Imax the second time if they can.

Art Crawl!!!

I need to see it again.

I want to see it again, but I don't care about IMAX, and I'm certainly not going into DC just for that when there's a theater 2 miles away.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, completely. Although I really wish they'd given him fewer lines while in the suit.

Or at least clearly established that he was using some kind of voice masker (which is what it sounded like some of the time).

I'm still so sad about when he says "She was going to wait for me." and Alfred slips away with her note and burns it. ::sniff::

I actually ended up recounting the movie to both my parents, even though I know they only participate in straightforward fiction (ma) if fiction at all (da). They were very patient.

All of the time, I read.
