1.) Okay, um, I don't know how many of you actually read my last post and just didn't comment, or just skimmed past it, but since only one person commented, let me say again here:
THE ORIGINAL UNALTERED STAR WARS TRILOGY WILL BE HITTING DVD.
(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Come on, people, I *know* I'm not the only one dumbfounded with excitement over this. And unlike me, many of you actually saw them when they originally came out!
2.) I just bought, sight unseen, Spike Lee's movie 25TH HOUR. I heard great things, but really, I just wanted to have something for the actress who plays Callisto in X3 come next Thursday. I mean, I can have all the other actors sign my copy of X2, but she's not in it. And since she's in 25TH HOUR along with Anna Paquin, hey, two birds. Two sexy birds. Even though one of those birds seriously needs to look like Patti Smith.
(I'm wondering what I should say to/ask Anna Paquin. "Hey Anna, I loved The Squid and the Whale! What was it like kissing Jeff Daniels! EWWWWWW!")
3.) So I just caught a large chunk of BATMAN RETURNS on TV. Haven't seen it for years. Um... am I the only one who thinks that, beautiful Burton imagery and Elfman music aside, this movie is on par with BATMAN AND ROBIN levels of awfulness? Because it's painfully, painfully terrible.
Catwoman says she needs a bath and proceeds to lick herself for Christ's sake! Only the Walken factor makes it watchable (as the Walken factor always does), but only when he's on screen. Jesus, this movie blows.
And the first BATMAN ain't exactly aging gracefully either. It's a great Joker movie but a lousy Batman film. Not even that; it's a great Jack movie, but not the true comics Joker.
I'm telling you, give Mark Hamill the prosthetics artists behind SIN CITY and you will have the greatest Joker of all time.
