As lots of movie nerds have already argued about on movie and comic book sights, I don't think it makes sense to keep the Nolan trilogy continuity through to the Justice League movie. Green Lantern is gonna be flying around with power rings and an alien who looks like a human will be flying around in blue underwear catching bullets with his eyeball. Batman has to be a dude with parent issues whose last name is Wayne. Not Robin.

Admittedly I'm not too familiar with justice league as I was a marvel dawg...but, I was under the impression that jcg was gonna take over as robin. Regardless, Rises pretty solidified that jcg will be continuing the storyline in some capacity.

I also saw a rumor that batman might make an appearance in Man of Steel.

Scored at our new library. Black Narcissus, Ikiru, Red Beard, Naked City and Children of Paradise. All Criterion/Janus DVDs. I've only seen Black Narcissus before.

I saw Children of Paradise on the big screen this past summer. It was awesome. It was introduced by Joe Williams- the P-D film critic- and he did a Q&A about the movie afterwards.

I'd seen it before but obviously the theater experience made it that much better.

Finally saw Batman Three 2, and glad I hadn't read this page before I did. Good movie, but a bit long.

I'm just wondering what Christopher Nolan was trying to say about Sean Connery with Bane's accent.

Ian Flemming's James Bond was an anti-corpocratic crusader. Each villain represented an evil aspect of the financial apparatus of the time (i.e. market commoditization vis a vis Goldfinger) and each "Bond girl" was nothing more than a superficial metaphor for society opening its collective legs for capital tyranny.

THINK ABOUT IT.

Mmm, Avengers on BluRay. Gat Damn this movie is so entertaining. That How I Met Your Mother chick is just painfully hot, and I am already remembering how awesome it is how scared everyone is of Hulk. Just as fun the third time through. I love movies like this that continue to entertain on re-watches.
