Carrey was trying to hard to be Frank Gorshin's Riddler instead of making the character his own.
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

Yeah, it really is THAT bad and worse. Even after disliking Forever to a very severe degree, disliking the idea of George Clooney as Batman to an even more severe degree, and being terrified at the idea of Arnold as Mr. Freeze, some friends of mine managed to talk me in to going to see B&R together opening week... haven't seen it since, but I still shudder when I think about it.
Shit may be shit no matter how old you are, but there are some movies I loved when I was a kid, only to watch them again as a grown up and think, "How the hell did I ever think this was cool?" You have to keep in mind Sean, that many of us were much older than 7 when B&R came out. Had I been seven when it came out, I can imagine that I might possibly have liked it.

You just got to love the fact that the Dark Knight bombed in Japan, and got owned by Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's latest picture Ponyo on a cliff. To make a long story short that animated film is Miyazaki's take on the little mermaid myth from Hans Christian Anderson so famously butchered by Disney.
“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.
Don't films not make as much money in Japan? Ponyo only grossed $91 million in the first month in Japan while the TDK made $471,082,150 in the first month in the US.
Hmm, I didn't know he just released a new movie. It sounds pretty interesting.
And, hey, don't knock Disney's The Little Mermaid. It's one of my favorite movies.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
