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

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

For more than thirty years now I’ve been completely obsessed with Michelle Pfeiffer’s hair and makeup in her post-transformation scenes as Selina Kyle in Batman Returns.

Unfortunately, but understandably given the painstaking work that must’ve gone into this m, it’s astronomically expensive. Anybody want to contribute to … Continue reading Michelle Monday

Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises

“It’s an ‘Ooops’ dripping in sexiness and insincerity, coming as it does after Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne interrupts her in the middle of a heist and before she dons her leather or rubber catsuit. The ‘Ooops’ and its Jean Harlow naughty-girl reading come early in the film and the rest of Hathaway’s performance seems to … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises

Let’s mark the occasion of the twentieth edition of this ongoing visual-stimulation randomness series with a selection of vintage and old school photos. Sure, nostalgia and retro are part of our usual M.O. around here anyway, but hey, when you have a schtick you’re known for, it never hurts to lean into it and please … Continue reading Random Image Dump #20
