    I have always been a big Batman fan (movies, not comics). It was good, but I really disagree with the people who say it was the best ever. Dark Knight easily tops this one.

    And Pattinson was a better Batman than I expected, too. I just didn't like him as Bruce Wayne actually.


    But the last movie I saw was Stand By Me the other night. I don't think I have ever watched it from start to finish. Great movie. 
    I cannot get through Stand By Me as a grown-ass man. I just want slap the shit out of every candyass crybaby kid in the cast.

    Scream (the new one)

    Eh. It was fun but dumb, which I expected and enjoyed, but something that was particularly dumb is a spoiler that kind of changed my opinion.

    That it is. 

    But that’s only, what, five minutes of film?

    I agree with this. EMO Bruce didn't cut it for me. But, fortunately this was a Batman movie and not really a Bruce Wayne movie.

    Same here on both counts, lol, though I have read the story a few times over the years, lol.

    To those that have read the story and seen the movie, how does the movie stand as an adaptation?

    The Batman, which was good but not as good as the joker and the dark knight, nonetheless it was good enough.

    It's one of the best SK adaptations out there, easily, right up there with The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile in that context. The movie is actually better than the novella.

    Putting it in such company means I should probably try and catch Stand By Me, thanks for the reply.

    Oh my goodness. I don't know what other people's reactions to this movie were, but for me, my first thought is, "That was lovely." I found a lot of peace in it. It's so quiet in its presentation. It is sad and thoughtful, and all about good people with depth and kindness. I loved it. It also made me really think about all kinds of other things, especially about the state of things in this society, and the people in it.
    And the acting- holy cow, it sincerely doesn't feel like acting. It seems like real people in real life.

    Batman 60s TV-show

    Episode 01
    It starts with The Riddler. And Batman getting drunk so he can't drive the Batmobil and save Robin. Great episode. 

    https://youtu.be/FVU9MBtCbWM

    Episode 02
    The Penguin! Fun episode.

    Episode 03
    The Joker escapes prison and is up to no good. Cecar Romeros Joker is somewhat scary here. Found him uneasy. The clown design being used here for a mask is later used in The Dark Knight for the bank robber's. His buzzer-thing is used by Jack Nicholson. I fell asleep in the second episode, so don't know how it ended. I'm guessing the Joker was caught.

    Still Batman. 

    Riddler has showed up for his second episode. Mad Hatter was fun.
