I walked out of the new Batman the other day. I can't believe who they used for Batman. That vampire guy from the twilight series. Can you believe that? Who's next... who's gonna play Batman next year? Justin Bieber for christ sakes?

Not much of Batman fan. I mean, how could he possibly compete with Superman?

I did see the earlier one with Nicholson as The Joker, but Keaton lost his comic touch in that movie.

Funny scene.

While he was sleeping in a Las Vegas hotel room, his wife is downstairs in the casino, gambling for the first time in her life and losing their “nest egg.” But, she is gaining self-knowledge. She is experiencing the thrill of gambling addiction. Now, he’s trying to get the money back.

Segue from the last link. Las Vegas.

"Las Vegas, A Christmas place to be."

A polished performance from a talented child actress. (14 or 15)

Great dialogue about God, the bible, and divinity.

Interesting clip. It’s from a realm beyond even corny.

He self-reflects irony, satire, and parody.
So does she.

And what is Self? Not that little self reflected, but the Big Self, unadorned of Identity, that encompasses both the self and the mirror and neither, and which is perpetually present whether or not recognized, whether or not consciously acknowledged.

Scene from I Heart Huckabees...

This was jonah hill's first movie btw. A small incidental role that got him started.

"What happens in the meadow at dusk?"

"Johnny B. Goode" from "Back to the Future" for sure.

Clearly Hollywood films have huge funding from the soulless scum of the NRA. I find it very difficult to find a film from the US without a gun in it..i wonder Y?
