Batman: The Movie ?/10
I don’t know how to rate it and I don’t know why I watched it. Check it out if you like weird hammy movies I guess but otherwise skip it.
It’s called camp. And it was all the rage in the 60’s. Also, Adam West is the dogdamn Batman. To me anyway. 😉
As a child of the Bruce Timm Post-Crisis era, I have to admit that I prefer my Batman dark, noir, and brooding, but I’ve met tons of Batfans who love Adam West and who cite him as their favorite rendition of the Caped Crusader. He may not be my preferred rendition, but I don’t think that devalues him, and for many, he’s the best Batman of all. Me, there’s a limit to how much camp I can take 😉.
Standing the Shadows of Motown- Yeah, I’m from Detroit, so I’m biased, but seriously, watch this. It’s an absolutely wonderful documentary about the Motown Records Sound’s house band the Funk Brothers. A fascinating look at the cultural intersection where Motown existed, the sad but exuberant story of the musicians who crafted such masterful music, and a celebration of their art. Watch this. Now. It’s on Amazon Instant Video and Hulu. Watch it.
