Returning to Batman Returns

My favorite Christmas movies are not ones that your standard normies would choose. No It’s a Wonderful Life in my top five or even ten. Instead, and to give you an idea of how I roll, my two favorite Christmas movies are Batman Returns (1992) and Black Christmas (1974). Clearly, I like my Yuletide cinema … Continue reading Returning to Batman Returns →

Random Image Dump #33

We’re back in the random groove for the thirty-third time! That “Zoom Movie Camera” will come in handy with this model around. Special effects legend Rob Bottin and The Thing. Actress Cynthia Gibb rocking the most ‘80s outfit imaginable. Totally tubular! Hopefully you didn’t lose your shirt (or the rest of your clothes) to Uncle … Continue reading Random Image Dump #33 →

Michelle Monday

Catwoman debuted in Batman #1, which went on sale April 25, 1940. That means our favorite feline fatale turns 85 this week. Amazingly, she still doesn’t look a day over 30 because, kids, comics! “I am Catwoman…hear me roar.” I love almost every incarnation of Selina Kyle as Catwoman, from comics to screen, over those … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Bad Girls We Love: Sofia Falcone in The Penguin

I watched The Penguin for the plot. The plot: Hallelujah, our savior has arrived. It only took thirty-two years, but the spiritual successor to Michelle Pfeiffer’s Selina Kyle has finally emerged. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Cristin Milioti, as Sofia Falcone. In the recent HBO series The Penguin, my new crush Cristin Milioti … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Sofia Falcone in The Penguin →

Bad Girls We Love: Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin

She has a mind for science and a bod for sin. Dr. Pamela Isley had been doing important scientific research (funded by Wayne Enterprises) in a South American lab working towards her ultimate goal of protecting plant life from “the thoughtless ravages of man.” If only the demented Dr. Jason Woodrue hadn’t stolen her toxins … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin →

35 Years On: Batmania 1989

Thirty-five years ago, I was a relatively newly-minted teenager when the pop culture event of my young lifetime happened: Tim Burton’s Batman opened in theaters in June of 1989. My world, and the world, were never quite the same again. To say, “You had to be there” sounds cliched and condescending, but it’s absolutely true. … Continue reading 35 Years On: Batmania 1989 →
