Ok, you said it twice, so I have to ask. Batman Returns is the Burton sequel featuring Michelle Pfeiffer. Batman Forever is the first Schumacher sequel, with Val Kilmer at the Bat.

I'm not sure if you meant to reference the two Schumacher sequels (Batman Forever and Batman and Robin) or the two Nolan films (Batman Begins and Dark Knight).

What word were the comix geeks using before "reboot?" I dislike using the term.

Pandering.

Well, reboot isn't quite as desperate sounding as the (now seemingly passe) "reimagining." (I'm looking at you, Planet of the Apes)

Ghoulish Delight · 05-27-2009, 03:50 PM

Grrr, yes. I meant Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.

I blame the DayQuil.

I blame it on Rio. But then I blame everything on Rio, except, ironically, that terrible film, Blame it on Rio, which I blame on Larry Gelbart.

Anyhoo, I just watched the original Buffy on TV last week and was it bad. Even Paul Ruebens was given nothing to do. What a waste. I remember my friend Janna was always trying to get me interested in the series but I only saw one episode -- in it, smiling, floating, ghouls, take away your voice and then torture you -- pretty chilling!

Tref sez, check it out.

I think that the series is far better than the film. The screenwriter of the film was not satisfied with the way his screenplay was produced, so he re-produced it himself as a series. It took me awhile to really get into it, but once I did, I was branded for life as a fan. That episode you saw, Tref, is one of my favorites.

I forgot I was supposed to check out Buffy. Can't do the whole series, not for starters at any rate.

Best Season???
