Christmas Leftovers

I hope you all enjoyed a merry, and restful, Christmas this year. As a little post-Christmas gift, here’s an odds ‘n’ sods collection of leftover stuff I had accumulated but didn’t get to post before December 25th.

Batman Returns is a Christmas Miracle

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.

It’s still a moment that sends shivers down my spine. She closes her eyes, purses those seductive lips, and seemingly transports to another plane … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Susie’s Audition →

Hell Here

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 →
