[Genteel Death 2]

 

One the best movies about being careful to not piss some people off.

I started watching The Batman, but aborted after fifteen minutes or so.
That voice-over, the one that's talking to himself, makes me nauseous, it's just unbearable, that continuous groaning.

I enjoyed it when it first came out, but I attempted to rewatch it last year and I, too, couldn’t make it through 15 minutes of that melodramatic nonsense.

I know I bang on about Dark Knight (and it may be the only Nolan Batman film that stands the test of time), but man that thing really does COOK. Two and a half hours, but it’s all so urgent and immediate and somehow tactile and consequential.

The Batman, by comparison, feels like WORK — and work for not much payoff. Work I’m frankly not willing to do more than once.

I’m too goddamn old to be putting in work for a comic book movie with the type of voiceover that made the theatrical release of Blade Runner shit the bed.

I have issues with the Nolan batman films, but one thing they got right (and the early Tim Burton films too) is the feeling that the "world" Batman inhabits is UNHINGED.

This is why, despite the many issues with it, I LOVED the GOTHAM TV show. That shit got weirder and more insane every season.

The latest batman film felt like some sad sack decided to create a film with the superficial trappings of batman, but none of the actual detail that provides such heft and long-lasting quality to the Batman comic series.

Batman is a FUCKING DETECTIVE for Jeebus' sake. The last Batman film treated him more like a force of nature, something better suited for a superman, or a Hulk character

Love Lies Bleeding (2024). Come for Kristen Stewart eating another girl out, stay for the multiple bloody murders. I had a lot of fun.

I meant to watch this movie so many times before. You always read about how good it is. Finally managed to watch it, and it's great!
