What Films Have You Seen Recently?

[fuzzymctiger]

Am I the only person who didn't come close to crying during Toy Story 3?

Actually, the closest I came to crying recently was when I saw Dark Knight Rises in the cinemas, at the end.

That made me cry. But not for the right reasons....

He had nothing in common with Azrael at all, beyond the mantle-taking! He definitely was a composite of Dick Grayson (orphan), Jason Todd (hotheadedness) and Tim Drake (uses detective skills to deduce Batman's identity)

That's my problem. Robin (Dick Grayson) only took up the mantel of Batman long after I lost faith in DC ever producing anything of interest. Knightfall came at a time when DC where at there best, and damned if KF isn't one of the best BM storys around. Azrael to me will be the only 'other' BM, regardless of stupid costume. But this is just how I see it, I could have been much more happy with the film if CN had left it out. The film was still a bit of a fail though but thats for another day.

Intolerance is a sublime piece of cinema which hasn't had a decent DVD release yet, never mind anything in high definition. A Masters of Cinema dual format, preferably with a Steelbook as well, makes so much sense I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Grayson actually takes on the role of Batman in Prodigal which came out the same year Knightfall finished #nerdfacts

To be honest, I think that Grant Morrison's Grayson-as-Batman stories are far more interesting than Knightfall to be honest, His whole run on Batman is one of the best since Neal Adam's stuff in the 70's as far as I'm concerned but that's another discussion for another thread

Last week's viewing: two trips to the cinema, seventeen Best Picture Oscar winners (making good inroads on my viewing challenge) and one 'odd one out' – no prizes for guessing which are which!
