How quickly people forget Jackman's Hellsing movie. Which is a good thing because that movie sucked donkey balls.

the best part of Hansel and Gretel was that Hansel had diabetes from eating the gingerbread house as a kid and they called it "the sugar sickness"

Nah, it's gonna be a tv series. purple death ray posted:The idea of monsters and monster hunters is so effortlessly cool and yet there are almost no good movies about it, somehow Yeah, it's really weird. I guess it's because it's hard to strike a balance between the goofiness of the concept and the grimness of monsters.

Dexie posted:Okay, wow. So she does have good stuff, then. Warren's other magazines like Eerie and Creepy are cool too. You should check them out if you like old horror, sci-fi and fantasy anthology strips, Dark Horse has reprinted them and Dynamite does a reprint line of Vampirella magazine. Lurdiak posted:Nah, it's gonna be a tv series. There's actually a Polish TV series that is universally hated by all Witcher fans, for it's bad acting, writing and incredibly low production values. I think it was chopped up to produce a movie or one was made that spun out of it that is also reviled. This was way before the games tho. Like the 90s.

Maybe it's time I should actually watch Batman '66 and find out if it really lives up to what the short youtube videos of select scenes I've seen and pop culture osmosis makes it out to be.

Adam West isn't actually dead, he's just time traveling. Right now, he's in caveman times and then he'll wind up at the Salem witch trials and then he'll be a pirate, followed by a cowboy, and a prohibition-era gangster. Batman and Robin will never die.

There's an episode where Batman and the Joker have a surfing competition. There's another where Batman and the Penguin run against each other for mayor (which inspired Batman Returns). The version of the Riddler from the show is what basically every version of him afterwards draws from. Batman '66 is rad and totally holds up, is what I'm saying.

People think I'm joking when I always say Batman '66 is the greatest superhero media ever made and that likely will ever be made, but I'm not. In my opinion it will always be the best. I thought that when I was a kid and I think that now, and for different reasons now than then. Adam West will be missed.

I love that scene where Batman and Robin go to confront King Tut, and they know he's a bad guy and Robin's all for bringing him in, when Batman says, "Robin, the Constitution provides that a man is innocent until proven guilty. And the Constitution is the cornerstone of our great nation. We must abide by it," so they leave without doing anything. It's great.

King Tut is probably right behind Riddler as my favorite villain on the show solely on the back of Victor Buono. Buono took the role because as a serious stage actor he loved to be able to completely let loose and being as ridiculous and corny as possible and it totally comes through in his performance. That scene in particular is one of my favorite King Tut scenes. Here it is: https://streamable.com/ym3t4 It's all the little things you might not notice if you're not watching closely, like as he talks about the Constitution he looks right into the camera and the viewer. And then on the way out I love how he tips his cowl to the people moving out of his way. Adam West always played it completely straight and that's part of what makes it so amazing.

I'm so glad I got to see him at awesome con last year and that he got to finish one last great media project as Batman before he went. But he was 88 and had a great life, so good for him on that, too.

FYI, I bought Adam West's DVD a few years ago and it's one of the weirdest funniest things I own and I love it. I think I'll watch some of it today. It's called Adam West Naked, so yeah go ahead and do a Google Search for that.

Adam West was once offered the opportunity to play James Bond, but declined because he thought James Bond should only be played by a British actor.
