What was the last movie you've seen?

[Ack]

Do kids still make out in the theater? They should.

Some places that gets you kicked out nowadays.

It got us kicked out then! We just did it anyway.

With $8 dollar tickets, it isn't worth it anymore. Just can't afford to get kicked out, especially if you bought your date's ticket too.

I never understood making out in a movie; you end up missing the movie. Go to Makeout Point for your necking.

Last time I saw this was on TV (that is, on a television network and not on VHS, DVD, streaming or a premium movie network):



Wickedly funny, and the sequel's on Netflix, too!

Screw Romeo and Juliet. I'd rather have a love like Gomez and Morticia!

I'm watching Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts. This doesn't have the gritty animated violence level of Under the Red Hood, Son of Batman, or Batman vs Robin. What it does have, though, is plenty of screen time for Nightwing. This is probably the most time Nightwing has ever spent on screen since "The New Batman Adventures" (1997-1999). It's not just Nightwing in the spotlight either. Green Arrow, the Flash, and Red Robin all appear in this film. Think Justice League with a heavy emphasis on the Bat family. Man-bat also appears as Batman's antihero foil.

So what is Batman Unlimited anyways? It seems to me that Animal Instincts is not only a direct-to-video movie; it's also a pilot for a potential new series. It's not directly canon with any other Batman or Justice League series or movie. Batman Unlimited tries to balance the cool Batman with the family-friendly Batman. To a large part, screenwriter Heath Corson succeeds. This is a Batman that can appeal to children and adults alike - not to mention marketers and merchandisers. I have no doubt there will be myriad action figures, t-shirts, and lunch boxes with the new character designs.

As I first start watching, the futuristic scenery and flying cars reminds me of Batman Beyond. When Batman first appears on screen, he's wearing a red and black costume. For a moment I sit on my couch with fingers crossed hoping it is grown-up Terry McGinnes under that cowl. No such luck. This is definitely Bruce Wayne. Once I put aside my preconcieved notions of Batman Beyond, I start enjoying Batman Unlimited on its own right.

Dana Snyder provides an unexpected delight as he voices Oswald Cobblepot. Fans may recognize his voice as Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Alchemist from Venture Brothers. This is a newer, more clever version of the Penguin than we usually see. He's not the monster that Danny Devito portrayed. He's not the sniveling coward of Batman vs Dracula. This version of Penguin is clever, resourceful, strong, and brave. Of course, he's still a batman rogue who comes up with overly-complex schemes involving robot animals and force fields in a bid to destroy Gotham city. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Overall, Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts is a promising start to a new Batman Series. It's neither Batman the Animated Series nor Batman Beyond. The sooner we get past the inevitable comparisons, the more we will enjoy Batman Unlimited for what it is: a fun Batman cartoon.

Interesting, this wasn't on my radar. I'll have to check it out.

Brazil

Been a while since I last seen this.. And tbh, they couldn't make films like this one today even if they tried.

I saw it (for the first time and possibly only) about 1 year ago. It was very interesting.

About the ending...

I don't like downer endings very much, but I understand they are important and respect the one here. Nice fake out on the delirious dream, the movie is crazy enough during the "real" parts that one can believe the dream being real for a good part of it (although it does stretch credibility).

I love Brazil. It is so weird, so layered. Gilliam is just a fantastic director when he's allowed to do weird stuff. Have you seen Lost in La Mancha? It's a documentary about Gilliam's failed attempt to make Man of La Mancha.

Who is paid to see if kids are making out?

Weird.

And c'mon guys. When you were in middle school you were going to go to make out, not to see a movie.

REPO: ADDAM'S FAMILY is darned near perfect.
