It's not about the production only, Batman is a comic character and when i watch a Batman movie i wanna have fun. There's nothing interesting in Batman movies since the 2000s, they're like, idk, crime movies with someone dressed as a bat. orangu1

It has become about the production value, honestly. The companies are more into the production than the story they're telling. I hope The Batman changes the narrative.

The old Batman movies are also focused on production value. 

However,  Christopher Nolan's  Batman movies are focused on story. um2 Instead of making typical superhero movies, he did something different. He showed such kind of movies can be serious too.

 

I like both styles. The fun Batman and serious Batman. 

Even the fun Batman movies tend to be better than Marvel movies which can be very tacky (Thor). jj2

@Daenerys so I got my Roku and thus am able to watch The Criterion Channel oprah15 Only watched Local Hero on it but I can tell I like it already, it's wonderfully categorized by decades, stars, filmmakers, genres, etc. So aside from the bizarre inconvenience of me being forbidden from watching it on my TV with an HDMI cable connected to my laptop, I really like it bebe1

The only thing I don't like about it is that it's perpetually on if it's plugged it...it just seems weird and inconvenient that there's no off button bebe1 I can turn the TV off via the Roku for whatever good that does, but not the Roku itself? bebe1

Ron Swanson is a legend rip4 From the same swivel chair episode I also love when he initially sees it and just says "What the fuck is this?" rip4 Also when he throws away his computer after April tells him about cookies and Google Earth, and there's also this:

I think April is my second favorite character after Ron rip4 It's hard to pick after that. One of the best jokes involving all the characters is when Leslie gets each of them perfect gifts, among them a painting of April having slain the Black Eyed Peas and a button that shuts the doors to Ron's office which brings him to the verge of tears rip4 They're all so well established that it's really funny when any of them do something out of character, like when Ann is drunk talking about how Andy has matured and now some other girl is gonna reap the rewards and she declares "That's bullshit!" before awkwardly sipping at her drink lmfao1

@Tahj @Hyun. this isn't worth making a thread over but I've been reading through this Moon Knight omnibus and I can say the forthcoming TV show is easily one of my most anticipated Marvel projects oprah15 The character gets referred to as the Marvel equivalent of Batman a lot, but I think the similarities are mostly superficial and he's really more like the Shadow than any other character, or perhaps Simon Templar. One of my favorite stories isn't even action based, and would make for a great episode of television. It's about his girlfriend in critical condition in the hospital from an attack and when he's told they won't have a good idea of whether she'll survive or not until dawn, he distracts himself by going out in the night, both taking it out on people and trying to do some good deeds. He berates a doorman for drinking on the job and pours out his liquor, he gives a homeless man money and is bitterly pessimistic he's gonna just use it to get drunk like the other guy, he finds a heroin addict passed out and anonymously takes him back to the hospital, he stops a mugging, etc. He is a hero, but an unstable one with more obvious problems than most others. That particular story really demonstrates a lot of the uniqueness and instability that make him a very interesting character.

I got a YouTube ad for a I think middle Eastern film judging by the written language. The only English word on it was for the title and it's called "Suicide?" slated for June or January 2022. There was an exact date but didn't catch it. And I can't find jack shit about it
