Why am I not surprised? That's awesome.

You know, I'm not that film's biggest fan either. I like it. But just.

I love it, but she watches it ALL THE TIME so I've seen it so much that now I'm sick of it. Sometimes I feel like GoodFellas and Ghost World (her second favorite) are on 24-hour-repeat at our house.

A few franchise-related thoughts of mine:

-Batman & Robin is the only Batman movie I actively like
-I think Alien3 and AVP are much better than Alien
-Sometimes I think Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie
-Superman Returns is a really solid movie
-The Final Frontier is one of the best Star Trek movies
-2 Fast 2 Furious kicks ass
-Temple of Doom is not only the best Indy movie by a huge margin, but also Spielberg's best movie in general
-Singer's first X-Men is the only memorably good film in the franchise
-Anchorman 2 is much better than the first
-The Hangover: Part III is the only good movie in the series
-Freddy's Dead is easily the best Nightmare on Elm Street movie
-Halloween III: Season of the Witch is way better than the original Halloween. Also, the original Halloween sucks.
-Return to Oz is a bajillion times better than The Wizard of Oz
-Staying Alive is a genuinely great movie that is much better than Saturday Night Fever, which kind of blows

There should be a twelve year moratorium on remakes, sequels, and reboots.

Temple Of Doom is criminally underrated and all but disowned by Spielberg. I get that he thinks it's too violent/gross and is embarrassed by the ethnic stereotyping but that's pulp man. It's not better than Raiders. I prefer it to the next two though.

I am now convinced Vermin is trolling us all.

Its a joke..batman & robin? Cmon, you went too far.

I'm a complicated person

Still, thats gotta be a joke. There is no way you can like that movie.

You forgot to include your thoughts on 2012. I think they belong in here.

Seriously though, the aesthetic of Batman & Robin is super impressive. It's so lush, colorful, and elaborate. Frankly, on visual terms, it FAR exceeds Nolan's films. Like, it's not even close. And I love the stupid, cartoonish, ridiculous humor and campy tone. I can't take the idea of Batman seriously, so I appreciate a movie that treats the concept with the appropriate absurdity. The whole movie is like a candy-coated, Technicolor funhouse. It takes balls to make a vision that extreme.

Or Roland Emmerich in general, for that matter.

I'm more surprised that anyone can genuinely believe there's anything of any value in The Hangover III.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of it either.
