Well done.<br /><br />As for Silverman? Goodness, I thought other people in the world had actually seen that movie, but apparently young m.brown's trip to the theater that day was like the first ten minutes in <i>28 m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-44395471538643921482014-07-19T15:54:02.111-04:002014-07-19T15:54:02.111-04:00I am an uncultured swine, of course, but I didn...I am an uncultured swine, of course, but I didn't really like any of Nolan's Batman films. The one with the Joker bored me to hell (I don't understand why or how either) and -- except for Rise, because that shit was awesome -- TDKR was just as bad. Totally going to watch the Silverman film, by the way. I do love Jack Black, you know.

Hell, I might even check out the Kilmer version again while I'm at it. <br /><br />If not for Cotillard's luminous face (um, and breasts), I don't even know where TDKR would fall. m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-36440366253180619662014-07-18T15:42:00.842-04:002014-07-18T15:42:00.842-04:00Oh no!

Even though the whole point is to attack/defend a movie everyone loves, I still wanted somebody to have my back (I know, what a wuss...). Though, honestly, just like people turn against movies because it's the right thing to do...I think the same thing happens with liking movies, too.

I think we all knew that it could never trump The Dark Knight, but it just dropped the ball on so many levels, that an 88% seems so excessively high to me. Nice pick!

So many mixed emotions with TDKR. I loved that film and walked out blown away by how much I enjoyed the film.<br /><br />And then I sat down and thought about it. It began to dawn on me that the movie had some glaring holes, inexcusably so.
