Sorry, I don’t watch youtube video reviews. And I certainly look close at them.

First you say you don’t watch youtube video reviews and next you say you certainly look close at them??? You are contradicting yourself.

Fine. “If I were to, I wouldn’t look close at them.”

Ok, why won’t you watch the video I posted? What is so wrong with youtube video reviews that you won’t want them?

TV’s Frink said:

Reasons.

what are your reasons?

Grenfell Tower will forever stand as a rebuke to the right

^ this is well worth a read.

It should also stand a reason for why you need fire alarms and in a high rise like that building, a sprinkler system. I have to believe many lives could have been saved if the building had those things.

Have I heard correctly that the building that burned down had no sprinkler systems and no fire alarms?

We had the second big event in Glasgow yesterday.
Despite the venue being not as sold and the ‘sound system’ being a tiny bluetooth speaker and the food being filthy we still managed to impress. In fact we may be inspiring a similar service to ours in my ancestral stomping ground of Galloway (frey). Hopefully my boss can secure a partial refund (we had to nip out and buy a speaker system so our film could be heard).
I don’t know if folk here have seen themselves on film before but it an odd experience. In my head I sound like Richard Bryers but in reality I’m more like Neil Gaiman with a slight impediment and hint of a cadence.
Thanks Darths.
I was given a great bit of advice from one of our service users. He suggested before people come in jumping up and down in the venue as if in celebration. It kind of worked.

I hope everything goes well for you and your charity. Good Luck.

(Don’t even mention Chris Nolan, those films aren’t Batman or even comic book at all.)

They aren’t‽‽‽‽‽

No, they aren’t. I actually like TDK as a movie (Though there are still some problems in there), but it still isn’t a true representation of Batman as far as I’m concerned. And none of Nolan’s films are good comic book movies. Everything about them is realism-driven, which just makes it worse when something unrealistic happens, and even aside from that, I don’t want a comic book movie that tries to distance itself from being a comic book. If you like them, that’s fine. I much prefer the wonderful comic book world of Burton’s films.

I can understand thinking that the first Burton Batman movie was a true representation of Batman, but Batman Returns? Batman Forever‽ Batman and Robin‽‽‽ Bat nipples? Bat credit card‽‽‽‽ Sorry, but I’ll take the any of the Nolan films over the final 3 of Burton era easy.

Batman Forever and Batman and Robin aren’t Tim Burton films, they’re Joel Schumacher films, and they suck.

Yes but all four are part of the same series of movies.

When someone says “Burton films” they are talking about the films Tim Burton directed.

Yeah, I know, but none the less, the four movies are linked.

I’ve tried to like Batman Returns because I enjoy Batman '89 so much, but no matter which way I look at it, I can’t stomach it. Most offending is the horrid portrayal of Penguin. If people are going to get hung up on the accuracy of character portrayals, how can anyone find the transformation of that villain from the “Gentleman of Crime” to the disgusting DeVito representation as acceptable is beyond me. People get hung up on the realism of the Nolan trilogy whenever anything unrealistic happens, but Returns even violates the Burton suspension of disbelief on multiple occasions. Last time I watched it, I was determined to enjoy it. And I didn’t.

I agree

Soundtrack is great, though. Danny Elfman is my favorite movie composer, even above John Williams.

*rips up darth-ender’s Star Wars fan membership card and throws him out of the forum*

There is no better movie composer than John Williams.

In terms of technical skill, there is no doubt that John Williams is better. But Elfman has a way of evoking such powerful emotions, I can not help but love his work more.

Don’t get me wrong, I love John Williams. I just love Danny Elfman more.

Didn’t I already throw you out of the forum?

  1. Batman and Robin

  2. Batman Begins

This is silly, and I don’t even like Begins.

Well, my reasoning is due to the fact that Batman Begins is a lot of boring origin building that has been shown countless times throughout history. For 80% of the film, he isn’t even Batman. At least Batman and Robin was a Batman movie…as shitty as it was. Plus Arnold singing along to A Year Without A Santa Claus deserved an oscar nom.

What do you expect to see in a movie called Batman Begins? And I wouldn’t call it boring origin building and I think he was batman for long enough. Please tell me you are not seriously suggesting that Batman and Robin was better than Batman Begins?
