As one year ends and another begins, it’s time to raise a glass—or a gigantic bottle—and toast to new beginnings. Or just drink away your sorrows after a lousy year. That’s acceptable on this day, too. Happy New Year, everyone!
Spending Christmas in Gotham City is an annual tradition for diehard fans of Batman Returns (1992). I have to watch the movie sometime in December—and often several times this month—and nothing brings me more Yuletide spirit than the most gloriously bizarre and unapologetically kinky superhero movie ever made. Tim Burton and screenwriters Daniel Waters and … Continue reading Batman Returns is a Christmas Miracle
“The tree lights up, and then I push the button. No-no, wait, wait, wait, wait. I press the button and *then* the tree lights up...” It wouldn’t be the holidays without the delightfully ditzy Ice Princess from Batman Returns (1992)—played brilliantly by Cristi Conaway—lighting up Gotham City’s Christmas tree. As cinematic dumb blondes go, she’s … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Gotham City’s Ice Princess

She closes her eyes, purses those seductive lips, and seemingly transports to another plane … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Susie’s Audition
I promised a Julie London bonus track and today I’m delivering with the final song off Calendar Song, “The Thirteenth Month.” After tantalizing us with her smooth, sensuous voice, month after month for an entire calendar year, Julie sings us one last torch song for 2023, about the mythical “month of remember.” What a pleasure … Continue reading Calendar Girl: Julie London for The Thirteenth Month
Scenes and dialogue from Batman Returns (1992) play in constant rotation in my mind. It’s the weirdest, most unique superhero movie ever made, in my estimation, and it’s also a delightfully subversive Christmas movie, too. It has everything going for it, from outrageously over the top characters to sumptuously gothic set designs, from a pitch-perfect … Continue reading Hell Here
