I like lots of things. I even lots of really bad movies, but always with the qualifier that a movie can be bad and entertaining at the same time. Bad and boring, OTOH, is unacceptable. Thus, Slither gets a thumbs up, but The Reaping doesn't.

Hmm. Nice "page error" text. ;)

Now that's a better Joker picture (real or not).

Exactly my point. Craig's Bond was passable at best. Craig's Bond movie was overlong, dull, contradictory, and sometimes incoherent.
A large portion of the movie going public disagrees with you, y'know. :) That is, if Casino Royale's box office success and critical acclaim are any indication.

Oh, and that fan poster looks pretty good. I especially dig the "Not all Jokes are Funny" slogan. :D

They're not. :p

Too many critics are too trendy to be genuinely critical (e.g. Ebert's positive review of the execrable Revenge of the Sith), and box office success hardly indicates quality. Just as McDonald's selling billions of burgers doesn't make the food there haute cuisine, so too lots of tickets sold doesn't make an overwrought, overlong film into a good movie.

Casino Royale had great potential. Cutting about 45 minutes of it would've helped a lot. Sometimes I miss those ruthless days when studios put hard, fast time limits on films.

But I've whined long enough. I'm gonna go lay down and watch a movie, perhaps something classic like The Kentucky Fried Movie.

:D
 

This picture looks like what would've happened to Jack Nicholson's character if he actually went to a back alley surgeon for an illegal emergency procedure after having acid sprayed over his face (in 1989's Batman). Note that we can still see the stitches, so maybe this is what the Joker looks like in the beginning and the scars heal a bit over the course of the movie.

Oh, and Batman? Formulaic? Sorry to burst your bubble, Mark, but Batman has been anything but formulaic over the past 68 years, from vigilante-gunning-down-criminals, to Sherlock-like detective, to father figure, to zany adventurer, to Batusi-dancing icon, to obsessed vigilante, to control-freak, to "goddamn Batman", to the I'm-cooler-than-Bond Batman he is now.

Bring back Jack!

That one's the best Batman and we all know it.

Oh, and Krug...forget Jack, I want Mark Hamill as Joker!

Can't picture Mark as the Joker, so I say Jack as the Joker with Mark's voice. Even though I know that would not work in reality.
