I wonder if I wouldn't be so disappointed if he wasn't playing Batman. I mean, I know the actor and the part are separate and blah dee blah, but...you know...

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.

Ha! Because Batman is in NO WAY a big rude freak.
(Granted, he wouldn't throw a hissy fit, because he wouldn't have to. A couple throat punches and batarangs later, and everyone falls in line. But polite he ain't.)

Well, no, I don't expect Batman to be polite. On the other hand, I don't think a DP would walk through his shot, either, lest Bats, you know... look at him.

I know; you just said that, given the connection of Bale playing *Batman,* maybe that's why you were disappointed, and the character of Batman is hardly known for politeness --
Actually, I think I'm having problems communicating today. Everything coming out is making me sound like more of an asshole than normal.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
A) Not an asshole normally or ever so
B) your logic is faulty.

Christian Bale loses his SHIT.

Was that a joke I don't get?

10 Cinematic Clichés That Must Die!
About half of these are not cliches but complaint that certain groups (like Christians) are not treated as saints 100% of the time. I see plenty of portrayals of heroic military and ex-military. So we should never have villains be military or ex-military. Especially if a villain is an effective villain, is able to successfully use violence, the military is one plausible place for them to pick up those skills. As would be the police force. I think back in the late seventies and early eighties there might have been reason for complaint that most portrayals of military people were as pyschotic killers. But from that point forward, I would bet that heroic military/ex-military outnumber military villains by three to one.
