Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
I thought JGL was universally adored. That's what I'm going to keep believing, anyway.
io9 proposes Batman Beyond for further Bat movies. Which sounds good to me, but here's my not-a-comics-person question: Do they need to work from existing material, or can they make up stuff? Because the way TDKR ended would set up a Batman Beyond scenario pretty easily, if Bruce would agree to come back from Europe anyway.
How could he not be??? He is ADORABLE!
I'm not going to lie, at the end of TDKR, I wished JGL's name had been Terry.
I think he's great. But I thought Everybody kind of agreed on it after (500) Days. although I like the Lookout a lot.
JGL, for me, grew from that kid on that show, to a recurring surprise of delight with every new project I saw of his. And my little brother helped solidify the opinion of awesome with his own enthusiasm. Said lil' bro turned me onto Firefly and Buffy, I respect his opinion greatly.
Am in the mood now to rewatch Brick.
Which strikes me as possibly the most hilarious sequel. Taken. AGAIN. Taken: Another Family Member.
Makes me think of Last Action Hero, where Arnold's character keeps having family members killed off in every movie. "You killed my uncle's second cousin (or whatever it was), now it's personal!"

I haven't seen TDKR yet, but I loved Batman: Beyond and think they make a pretty good case there.

I can't wait for Taken 3: And Your Little Dog, Too!
Thing is, Taken was not a good movie. Like the first 20 minutes are okay...then BOOM. The abyss.
Not sure where to put this, but ABC has a greenlit a pilot for a S.H.I.E.L.D. tv series with Joss, Jed and Maurissa onboard. [link]

I believe Last Action Hero is a very underrated movie. It's a wonderful send up of action movie tropes. "Excuse me! I have just shot a man! Does anyone care?" "Shut up down there!"
