Hard to convey to the youth of today just how much hype there was for that Batman movie. It was a letdown to me. Obnoxious and no fun. Haven’t liked any Batman film except the 1966 theatrical version of the TV show.

I liked Tim Burton’s two Batman movies when they came, but I have had no desire to see them again. I enjoyed the recent The Batman.

I did not like Joel Schmacher’s Batman movies at all.

I was never a big Batman aficionado, even going back to the comics, although I do remember reading them occasionally. The Superman family of comics and heroes was my cup of tea. I didn’t even watch the TV series originally because as I recall, I was just into too many other things that year in high school and then I was off to college where I saw hardly any TV at all.

The first Tim Burton film was released just as I was moving from LA to Danbury, and a bunch of us had a great time seeing it on its opening night. But I didn’t follow that up with the other films, although I eventually saw them on home video. Years later I saw Batman Begins, which half interested and half bored me…and that’s pretty much where I’ve left it. I might enjoy seeing some of the TV series, though.

I liked some of it.  Michael Keaton was excellent.  Despised Jack Nicholson and saw no reason for the Prince songs except that he was hot and they wanted Prince songs in the film.   

It made a wad of money; Nicholson took massive profits, as well...IIRC, he earned about $75 million off the film's initial run.  Have no idea how that has been impacted by television showings and home video sales.

TOD:

My favorite Batmans are the ones with Christian Bale, especially the first one.

I recently watched "The Batman" with Robert Pattinson.  Although very grim, it had a great deal of darkness, tension and excellent acting.

I did enjoy the Batman with George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell as Robin.  Sue me.

I hate, loathe and despise the film with DeVito and Schwarzenegger.

In "Batman Forever, I liked Val Kilmer as Bruce Wayne, and I thought Jim Carrey was an interesting Riddler.  Tommy Lee Jones, however, hammed up Two-Face so badly, I got a headache watching him.

I like the Batman serials - and the 1966 movie.

I saw Tim Burton's BATMAN movie when it came out but didn't care for it. 

I recently watched one with Ben Affleck that I sort of liked.  I guess Batman & Robin & Gotham City are just not my thing.

I get a lot of emails selling book cycles called "cozy mysteries."

Is this a new genre? What does it mean, exactly?
Title: Re: ELEVEN HOURS OF GLORIOUS SLEEP
Post by: Rodzinski on August 10, 2023, 07:31:28 AM
Cozy mysteries, also referred to as "cozies", are a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence occur off stage, the detective is an amateur sleuth, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community. Cozies thus stand in contrast to hardboiled fiction, in which more violence and explicit sexuality are central to the plot. The term "cozy" was first coined in the late 20th century when various writers produced work in an attempt to re-create the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.

Last night we watched the first episodes of More Tales of the City. It's better than I remembered, but the first series leaves it in the dust.

DR Elmore - I totally agree.  While it's nice to have the next two books in movie form, that first movie was excellent.  It's too bad they stopped after "Further Tales of the City". I have a feeling it was not the right time to make more.  We did get the Netflix "reboot" or whatever, which tied up some loose ends but was pretty blah after the excitement of the first 7 books.

I can vent this here, no where else.

There's a professional theatre company in my area that just let it out there that they need 3 million dollars or they will have to close their doors.  This company takes great pride in programming a season were they feature a few World Premiers if possible, but most of the time their shows they choose are plays or musicals that are not that well known.  I see their post and I just want to say - do a few seasons of shows that people recognize and then start to work in other things.  People just want to see what they want to see.

For those who don't know it, the FDA has updated the requirements for blood donations to allow more donors.


I didn't know.  I wonder if I am now eligible.  I'll have to check.

I donated yesterday. My last two donations were in honor of TCB and Danise. A previous one was for Vixdad, who I believed received blood some time ago when he was ill.

So ya'll better be careful. I don't want yesterday's to be in honor of anyone here.

Thank you Laura! Yes Vixdad had 10 pints plus an infusion of plasma during that scary week in the ICU last year.  I appreciate your donation in his honor

DD Leo got into the garbage under the sink when I went to visit mom.  How did he do that?  Well, DP (Dear Papa) forgot to put the locks on the cabinets before he left.  I just happened to check the cam (which I just purchased) to see what the boys were up to when I was at Moms - and I saw the mess.  I left immediately.  (Mom lives 10 minutes away)  Well, I walked in and saw that I was at fault, so I quietly cleaned up the mess, didn't say a word to DD Leo - who was hiding by the front door - the mess was minimal as messes go, lots of paper, but there was a coffee filter with coffee in it, so thank goodness for the dustbuster.  All good - locks are on the cabinets, DP is going out for some frozen yogurt and I'll come back as if nothing has happened.   

The adult takes responsibility if they do not leave the house in a condition where the dogs can get into anything - that’s why the adult went through the trouble to get locks for the cabinet.  I’m putting a post-it on the door to remind myself now

DR Iris (and anyone else interested in my opinion on "The White Lotus"):

I finished Season 2 this evening.  It is so vastly different from Season 1, both in location, tone and charm (i.e. it has none).

I think the actors are all pretty much first-rate with the exception, sorry to say, of Jennifer Coolidge.  Yes, I know she won an Emmy for playing Tanya McQuoid in the first season, but her character went a long way in the first season and I needed a rest from her.  Here, she was nearly unbearable, despite the interesting developments in the last couple of episodes. 

My favorite characters were the Di Grassos -- F. Murray Abraham, Michael Imperioli and Adam DiMarco.  Loved the family dynamic and the fact that they were all sex-addicted souls trying to cope in a world where that male attribute is despised.

I liked the younger couples, as well, and I really liked Portia, the assistant to Tanya who was so badly treated by Tanya (Coolidge) that it made me despise that character even more.

Where was the humor?  I couldn't find any.  Where was the wit?  Non-existent.

I understand Season 3 will be set in Thailand.  One was in Hawaii and two was in Sicily.  At least they are mixing it up and showing us nice landscapes.  And Coolidge will NOT return for future seasons!!

I loved the nighttime shots of Mt. Etna erupting.

One family I know visiting Maui was evacuated from their hotel last night and have been sitting at the airport all day.

From what I have read they were lucky the airport had room for them.

Ultimately the airport didn’t. They’ve been staying in their rental minivan the last two nights. They believe they’ll be flying out tomorrow. Locals have been helpful.

My sister works for one of the top Chicago theatres. Rhymes with “Greppenwolf.” They’ve managed finances well. But this year has been a drag. I’m like, why did you go all-in on Austin Pendleton? He’s a lovely guy. But they had him directing, acting, choosing shows (the Pinter one he dropped out of). He’s not a household name that’s going to bring in big crowds.

Great little 1961 indie movie, really. Deals with some heady sexual themes. It can’t fully cover the inner monologue of Lola’s character like the excellent novel on which it is based, but it says a lot without saying a lot.
