[1:27
PM] Mr. Blue:
anyway
Batman
Before
i forget - just some quick points.
1.
Burton got Gotham right.
2.
Nolan got Gotham right in Batman Begins but the other two he just
kind of forgot it and went back to Gotham looking like Anycity, USA.
[1:29
PM]
Noticed
that but never finished Nolan's 2 and never saw any of 3.
Nolan's
1st didn't impress me that much...I liked some elements of it.
[1:30
PM] Mr. Blue:
of
course Burton's is also a lot like Metropolis, the silent one
noticed
a couple Easter egg type things re-watching them that i wouldn't have
noticed as a kid
i
also decided that Nicholson was miscast as The Joker
He's
a straight man
[1:35
PM]
He
was a good Joker.
[1:35
PM] Mr. Blue:
he
was good
apparently
Burton wanted Brad Dourif
who
i think would've been perfect
[1:35
PM]
I
liked Catwoman's character better
[1:35
PM] Mr. Blue:
me
too, and her casting better
i
think Nicholson was good but it wasn't a perfect fit
But
yeah my other takeaway was that Michelle Pfeiffer was incredible as
Catwoman
best
Catwoman ever, and that's considering Julie Newmar
i
guess it could be argued that Nolan's "gritty reboot"
wasn't any grittier and with only marginally more realism than
Burton's first 2
[1:55
PM]
Pfieffer did the mousey/cool/distraught thing sooo well
[1:56
PM] Mr. Blue:
yes
[1:56
PM]
I
remember feeling really bad in the theater when they were dancing and
figured out who each other was.
Unfortunately
I didn't really get into penguin troops
Kinda
wrecked it for me.
Would
rather they'd kept the plan with just the gang.
[1:58
PM] Mr. Blue:
yeah
[1:58
PM]
The
rest was great
[1:58
PM] Mr. Blue:
maybe
bring in freaks from other cities or something
[1:58
PM]
yes
[2:00
PM] Mr. Blue:
also
noticed, and was quite proud of it, that one of the freaks in the
gang is Mac's dad from Always Sunny
Painted
face and only 1 speaking line but i knew it right away
[2:01
PM]
heh
[2:01
PM] Mr. Blue:
Which
made me wonder if maybe Devito and him stayed friends and Devito got
him the Mac's dad gig
[2:01
PM]
good
eye
[2:33
PM]
Last
night's film for us was "She"
I
remember being surprised I enjoyed it the first time so grabbed it
again.
[2:34
PM] Mr. Blue:
don't
know it
[2:34
PM]
Sandahl
Bergman when she was big
Post
Apocalypse
Based
on a novel
Very
80s
[2:34
PM] Mr. Blue:
ahh
[2:34
PM]
Can't
have had a great budget, and yet it worked.
Superior
fight choreography and camerawork helped
I
realized on the second watch that "the obvious hero" was
not the hero.
[2:37
PM] Mr. Blue:
she
was good in Conan
I
don't think I've seen her in anything else
i
think she did dance / musical type stuff mostly, like Xanadu
[2:37
PM]
Nod...she
had a bit part as a muse at the start of “Xanadu”.
"She",
appropriately, was the hero despite how it started and
progressed...kind of snuck up on you.
The
cut they showed is obviously not the only one.
Partly
because I remembered a bit from years ago and it wasn't there
And
there's also a photo-credit title for a character at the end who was
obviously important (brief vision) but isn't in the film at all.
[2:44
PM] Mr. Blue:
wow
[2:46
PM]
wow?
[2:48
PM] Mr. Blue:
about
the person in the post credit titles but who isn't in the film as cut
[2:52
PM]
Nod
Some
old woman. i assume it was some prophesy thing at the start.
That's
odd too... “She” just kinda starts in a way
I
subtitled it last night as "The Wacky Stuff Californians Get Up
to After the Bomb"
Because
it's very weird
Works
though
[10:55
AM] Mr. Yellow:
Katzenjammer
anniversary celebration this morning
[10:55
AM]
yup
[10:55
AM] Mr. Yellow:
No
breakfast food I like or would eat :(
[10:55
AM]
Largely
for me it seems to be a lunch
[10:55
AM] Mr. Yellow:
F-ing
Shane and his breackfat choice
[10:55
AM]
?
What
did he pick for breakfast?
(Though
"breackfat" is evocative)
[10:56
AM] Mr. Yellow:
Breakfast
sandwiches from (restaurant) all with cheese and other things I do
not like on them.
He
knew I would not eat anything and was busting me on my hatred of
cheese in the meeting.
[10:58
AM]
Lactose
issues or just doesn't do it for you? (Cheese guy)
[10:59
AM] Mr. Yellow:
doesn't
matter. He is a prick and convinced them to get that breakfast
instead of our typical bacon eggs hash browns and toast.
[11:03
AM]
Bastage
[10:12
AM]
(two
nights ago) "It's only 8 o'clock. let's have Silver Junior
watch 'Night of the Living Dead'."
"No!"
"Hehehe."
"You
two can watch it in the morning on the weekend or something so he has
all day to let it go. Why'd you record it anyway?"
"Because
I was talking to Mr. Blue about how I used Evans City in a game and
how we drove through the cemetery groaning "They're coming to
get you Bar-brah!" over and over and Silver Jr. thought we were
crazy."
"Oh.
Well then, i get it. But I don't want to see it."
[10:17
AM] Mr. Blue:
NotLD
is practically required viewing just from a cultural/historical
standpoint
As
much as learning about the War of 1812 or seeing the Mona Lisa
[10:18
AM]
"It's
a classic. Granted its disturbing, but it's kinda light fare
compared to some of the stuff you've been watching on TV."
"Hmm..."
[10:18
AM] Mr. Blue:
it's
so tame by today's standards
[10:18
AM]
yup
[10:19
AM] Mr. Blue:
Probably
worth doing The Crazies and Dawn of the Dead after
[10:20
AM]
"Tell
your teacher we did a social studies/film history project."
[10:20
AM] Mr. Blue:
The
Crazies was also filmed in Evans City
[10:20
AM]
I
didn't know that
Not
sure I actually ever saw it
[10:22
AM] Mr. Blue:
been
a while, but i think it's just about some government lab that spills
some nerve gas that turns people into homicidal maniacs
and
it's released near Evans City
in
color too
I
still haven't seen Return of the Living Dead
I
just can't find it anywhere
[10:30
AM] Mr. Brown.:
Evans
City was the only place with clean roads yesterday
[10:31
AM] Mr. Blue:
"A
government laboratory accidentally releases a toxic gas in a small
town that turns people into crazed snow shovelers."
[10:35
AM]
(listening
to radio) "This reporter witnessed for himself that within
minutes after the man in the la-z-boy was exposed to the gas by
investigators, he looked from his TV to the window and
stood...actually stood...and shambled over to put on a parka, hat,
grab a bag of salt and head outside."
[10:37
AM] Mr. Brown.:
It
was amazing though
Perfect
roads there
Hit
19...complete shit
[10:37
AM]
"The
DOT urges listeners to not attempt to interact with any of these
people out with shovels."
(man
on TV interview) "They're out there...doin' it for free...
They're unpaid...They're…all messed up."
(couldn't
NOT have a "they're all messed up" line in there.)
[10:42
AM] Mr. Blue:
"No
one will be admitted during the sidewalk salting scene!"
[10:42
AM]
"They're
coming to snow blow, Bar-brah."
"Stop
it, Johnny!"
(20
shovelless figures converge on the burning plow pickup... finding no
shovels they begin eating the snow by hands full!)
[10:54
AM] Mr. Blue:
heheh
[11:06
AM]
I
think I'm out of gags. Been too long since I've seen it.
[12:47
PM]
Love
the client profile name fields
Dr.
Marcus Dick, Son
"The
name's Dr. Marcus Dick, son."
[12:48
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Call
me Mark. Dr. Dick was my father's name."
Dr.
Dick, urologist
[12:57
PM]
(commercial)
"Erectile dysfunction? Call Dr. Dick, son!”
(jingle
singers...bouncing "balls" shtick)
“If
your dick needs a doctor, then call him quick!”
“If
your dick needs a doctor, call Dr. Dick!"
"Also
specializes in Hēafodtramet."
