Just saw Shortbus - what a delight. I want to see it again just to pick up some of the lines. Of course, the national anthem will never be the same for me.

Shortbus was great, I think most of this lascivious crowd would love it. Just draw the blinds before viewing

Note to self - watch more unrated films

I liked the last Batman movie (which was a very nice surprise since I didn't care for any of the KKK(c) incarnations), so I must admit I'm looking forward to The Dark Knight. Teasers are, almost by definition, lies but I like this one.

And seeing the visual approach they took to the Joker it seems they are keeping with a pleasingly dark and serious approach to it.

Shortbus was fantastic!

Yeah, I was rather fond of Shortbus.

I don't suppose there are any clubs like that in L.A.??

Yeah, I guess with a teaser like that, the only "lie" they can tell is to leave some of that dialog on the cutting room floor.

I like the dark approach to the new Batman series, but I draw the line at wanting "serious" with my Batman. It's frelling Batman.

I'm not wanting anything as campy as the TV series or as stupid as the Joel Schumacher disasters ... but I prefer the filmmakers acknowledge the complete non-seriousness of themed villains and an animagus-inspired crimefighter.

A niche waiting to be filled?

Something waiting to be filled.

skinnylycan · 07-28-2007, 11:24 AM

heh... wow.. :-) there are a few things here (disney) that are waiting to be filled... and most just like your thinking. :-P

Hmmm, I'm gonna run that through the vagueometer and see what it implies.

But I do have a sudden inkling to find out what's going down at the Park.

I swear I have ADD when it comes to films. I'm a disaster at the cinema. I fidget & practically panic attack sitting still for too long. I never used to be that way when I was younger, but I sure am now.

I'm finding more & more that I just don't enjoy popular blockbuster films. Of course, I immediately think "it must be me". "Something is wrong with ME." I really need to adjust my attitude to "this film sucks" & "everybody sucks but ME".

I gave up and fell asleep during PotC 3. For the love of all things HOLY, it just wouldn't end! I fidgeted myself into a frenzy during Transformers. I finally settled down and then fell asleep on my boyfriend's shoulder. Everybody seemed to love that movie but me!

I'll hopefully be seeing The Simpsons this weekend! I'm obsessed and have enjoyed absolutely every season. I know I'll be all spiral-eyed and non-fidgety for that one!
