The hell? Is that even licensed?

I doubt it. Tauntauns aren’t street legal. 😉

Really what this movie needs is more dump trucks and less spaceships, since we already had seven movies with spaceships.

I want to see FN-2187 and the Starkiller Sanitation Crew: A Star Wars Story

Funnily enough, I had done this on my facebook a couple of months ago, so now I get to post it here! I haven’t seen BvS, though… But at any rate, aside from that, here are all the Batman theatrical releases.

1. The Dark Knight-Fantastic. Wonderful psychology of the characters. Best Two-Face ever.
2. Batman Returns-Visually fantastic. My favorite Batsuit. My only complaints are that Gotham Plaza looks very much like a soundstage, and that Bruce starts lecturing about killing when he’s been fine killing people this whole time. Just a little tweak would’ve been all that was needed to make it character development instead of just out-of-character.
3. Batman Begins-Probably the only live-action Batman film where Batman is the most interesting thing about it.
4. Batman (1989)-Great noir atmosphere, which would influence the animated series. Michael Keaton is always a fantastic Batman, and I love the idea of keeping his character in the shadows and intimating his psychology rather than spelling it out.
5. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm-Deserved much more credit than it got. Great tale of Bruce Wayne’s what-if life that never was. And it has Abe Vigoda.
6. Batman The Movie (1966)-Hard to rank these with the others due it being so different and purposely silly. I love it. And if you asked me another day, I’d probably put it somewhere completely different.
7. Batman (1943 serial)-My ongoing review has forced me to confront a lot of flaws in it, but I still love it. The atmosphere is great. Lewis Wilson makes a wonderfully sociopathic Batman, and he and Douglas Croft’s Robin have great chemistry. I even love the costumes.
8. The Dark Knight Rises-Suffers from third part in a trilogy syndrome, where its predecessor set up things this movie could never have pulled off with aplomb. But it still has a lot of heart, and I do enjoy a franchise finally giving Batman some rest.
9. Batman Forever-Could have been much higher if they hadn’t cut out the key scenes of Batman’s character development. As it stands, I like the relationship between Bruce and Dick. Otherwise, fairly forgettable.
10. Batman & Robin (1997)-Silly and ridiculous but not unwatchable. For me, it definitely falls into the So Bad It’s Good territory. Had a good idea with the Alfred dying plot. And I actually like George Clooney as Batman.
11. Batman and Robin (1949 serial)-Dial up all the problems in the previous serial to 11 but counter it with a heavy dose of blandness, and you get this. Also, I hate Vicki Vale.

and BvS?

Also, I agree with Gaffer on the Alfred plot if B&R. It’s the only good thing about the movie, other than the fact that it supplied me with all the puns I’ll ever need to use at any winter events I may go to.

What about multiple save files? That’d be cool. Regardless of previous saves, in one life you could be a total anarchist and have all the fun you want. In another save file, you’re a regular guy with a pretty good life. In another, you could be a heroic vigilante. Etc.

That would be an interesting premise for a movie actually.

There was a movie called Prince of Persia that kind of did something like that. I can’t believe I even remember it.

Yeah but that movie SUCKS

I didn’t think it was that bad. Although, I only watched it once and only vaguely remember it.

Lol what a great thread to come to a mock someone else’s beliefs. Haha! What a fruitful discussion!

I apologize, that was not my intent. Reading my post again, I realize that it could’ve come across that way. Forgive me, I meant no disrespect.

In reality I was not terribly offended. I was a little annoyed at the whole direction of the thread, but even then, it wasn’t too much. I expressed my irritation with far more hostility than I intended. I even reread it and thought, “I better clarify that it really isn’t that big a deal,” but then I went to work and forgot about it. I’ve been meaning to respond for a couple of days, but just didn’t have the chance. So please don’t feel bad, and continue to ask honest questions. Even a little humor is okay. It’s just the whole derailment that bothered me. I hope I didn’t scare you off for good.

And in that vein, did my link answer your earlier question?

Indeed it did answer my question, and more. I had no idea that the idea had been around in Christianity before Mormons.

I have a sock fetish.

Wait, wrong kind of admittance?

I sometimes wonder if God hates me. Then I remember that I live in a first world country, so worst case scenario he’s just somewhat annoyed by me.

I don’t understand why the DVD is packed with Blu-Ray and sold in one box.

If you don’t have Blu-ray player, the Blu-ray is useless to you, because you can’t play it.
And if you do have Blu-ray player, the DVD is useless to you, because why would you want to watch the movie in worse quality?

Some cars have DVD players. AFAIK none have Blu players. So the answer to your question is road trips.

Last time we tried to use science to explain the force, we got meaty-chlorines. We all know how swell that turned out 😒

This is Tippi, my Bichon Frise She only loves you if you have food.

So if Fox never made F4, X-Men would revert back to Marvel/Disney? Am I misreading your post?

I never even bothered with 3. As a kid I didn’t actually like the two preceding it and when TASM came out I much preferred it.

Fast forward a few years and now I really like the first two, think TASM is okay, and TASM 2 is… ehhhh.

I expect any day, to see a trailer for the remakes of Casablanca.

I’m not so sure. They tend to avoid the untouchable classics like Wizard of Oz. They may try to make a sequel or spinoff or some other stupid thing, but I doubt they’d do a straight-up remake.

Michael Jackson actually did a remake of Wizard of Oz…it is a performance I can never quite properly erase from my mind…

Sounds like you have quite the burden there. Just let it go man. It’s just like Michael Jackson said: Don’t you carry nothing that might be a load! Ease on down, ease on down the road!

People in Gen. SW Discussion are actually considering the plausibility of a Mendelian view of the Force…

A Mendelian view of the

FORCE

Yeah it was definitely a retcon and a mostly pointless one at that. Just playing devil’s advocate.

The Jedi Order had to be at least partially flawed, otherwise Anakin’s turn to the dark side would have been unbelievable.

It was unbelievable anyway.

Imagine if DC fans made a billboard out of anger from Crisis ending the Silver (Bronze) Age way back when?

What if Star Trek TOS purists made a billboard against TNG and the TOS crew movies, demanding that they put the TOS crew back on the small screen?

Legends are still in print and able for purchase at any common bookstore, so fans of it have it pretty good. Surely most of them haven’t read all of the hundreds of hundreds of Legends books.

Why would the Force be a recessive trait? Why would the Force be a genetic trait at all, with or without the meaty-chlorine?

Do you guys actually believe that when you die God makes you a God of your own planet?

That would actually be cool because then you could compete with God and maybe fight with him and win

Imagine you and some friends all becoming gods and then starting wars between the peoples of your universes for entertainment.

I would be a horrible god lol.

I think the sexism complaint was “why is the AI a woman and why does she have to fall in love with Ender?” which didn’t make much sense.
