Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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

I really really need to see some Filipino movies from the sixties: James Batman.

With its simple set-up out of the way, James Batman proceeds along a trajectory not unsimilar to that of most spy films of its era, trotting out a succession of action set pieces based around the villain’s serial attempts to pick off our heroes. Only, in this case, those set pieces are punctuated by gag scenes in which, to give a few examples, Batman gets pantsed and produces condiments from his utility belt, and James Bond gets bitten on his bare ass by a rubber centipede.

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

I haven't watched many John Wayne movies (okay, I suspect, none), but I wonder if I'm missing out when I read this Kung Fu Monkey post:

Top 10 John Wayne Movies That Could Also Be Porn Titles

10.) Men Without Women (1930)
9.) Rough Romance (1930)
8.) Seven Men from Now (1956)
7.) Girls Demand Excitement (1931)
6.) Maker of Men (1931) or Two Fisted Law (1932) -- tie
5.) Ride Him, Cowboy (1932)
4.) His Private Secretary (1933)
3.) The Star Packer (1934)
2.) Pals of the Saddle (1938)

And the winner is:

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

John Wayne wasn't in Seven Men From Now. Randolph Scott was.

He has a producer credit for it (uncredited).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like the idea of an uncredited credit. Makes me think of Schrodinger's Cat.

I have an uncredited TV credit. Sure stung at the time.

Ann, that's a ferret.

5.) Ride Him, Cowboy (1932)

I've seen this one. And yes, the porny title was a factor in my decision.

It feels like the studio was trying to set up Wayne's character as the hero of a series. He bonds (no, not that way) with a horse and defeats the bad guys. Nothing special, but not bad. Fans of Westerns would enjoy.

There should be a Batman Western. Because a Bat-horse would be cool....

The Batman comics are almost like the internet. I know I've seen a cowboy Bats.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold on Cartoon Network had a segment where he teamed up with Jonah Hex.
