That's cool! How did he like Episode III? Compared to the other prequels, he must have thought it was Citzen Kane. :laugh:

Yeah, I guess he does have a look like that, a bit. Now.

[QUOTE=dissention]That and I thought he was a bit too pensive in a lot of scenes in the first one. By the time the second rolled around, he was shafted for Pfeiffer, Devito, and Walken, so there wasn't much to do with the character.


I see your point on that one too...but that's the character. He's very brooding and dark. The mistake they made with the first one was by giving him some closure on the death of his parents by killing the Joker. In fact, in the comics, the Joker has nothing to do with his parents death. Besides, Keaton just LOOKED SO COOL in the outfit! I found these awesome pics a few days ago online that I'd never seen.

His exact words were that he was "glad the story had come full circle and it was good to see many of the characters, like the Emperor, live up to their potential."

My two favorite parts...

"Never, never, interrupt me, okay? Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint. Even then, don't come knocking. Or, if it's election night, and you're excited and you wanna celebrate because some fudgepacker that you date has been elected the first queer president of the United States and he's going to have you down to Camp David, and you want someone to share the moment with. Even then, don't knock. Not on this door. Not for ANY reason. Do you get me, sweetheart?"

"Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here."


:laugh: :lol:

That.movie.is.my.favorite.comedy.EVER. :nod:

That's one of my favorite performances ever. Nicholoson could have played the character in his sleep, but it was still fantastic. :blob1:

That wasn't even the real Godzilla. That was a plastic action figure. :laugh: Now the Godzilla of 1954/56, that was a horifying thing. :nod:

My word how similar you are to me at that age. I actually had convinced my parents to take us to Japan to visit Toho Studios :laugh: Sadly, my brother was too bad and the trip was canceled :mad:

HAHAHA! You guys are hilarious. I always liked a T-Rex better than Godzilla. There is something intrinsically odd about a giant lizard-dinosaur-hybrid stomping on helpess Asian people.

I have no problem with dinosaurs (go go Godzilla!) . But I never want to see a giant ape and a dinosaur in a movie together!!! :laugh:

If you knew anything about the original movie or even the remake, you would know that Kong lived on an island full of prehistoric beasts. So, the dino. was par for the course and was used to prove that he was indeed "King" Kong - some people - sheebus :wavey:

I did know that. I love how you spin it too "oh, well, you don't know anything!" :laugh:
I just don't think it's that cool, ok? Which reminds me, why, oh why, didn't Bette Davis ever fight a dinosaur? Now, that is an even and compelling match! :lol:

Well, you said inexplicably fighing a dino and apparently did not even know dino.s were in the movie. They were and it was indeed explained. So, how is me saying you know nothing about that construed as spin :shrug:

As for Bette - she would have won :laugh:

the first Godzilla movie was Godzilla King of the Monsters, with Raymond Burr, and that is the one I am talking about. Remember how ancient I am Ryan! :lol:
I saw the Godzilla movies at the Matinee: Mothra, Gidrah, that freaking turtle thingy, ALL the Godzilla ones, including SON of Godzilla......I even saw Godzilla vs. Megalon at the Drive in in the 70's....I am a TRUE fan!

Now, STAR TREK, I know every line in every episode, I am a true defender of the Kirk/Spock faith! Ask Diss! He'll tell ya! :eek: :] :blob1: :blob2: :nod:

ps: I wish blob 1 and blob 2 bounced at different times from each other...

irishgrl 06-29-2005 09:15 PM

one more thing: Godzilla went ape-**** (har har) on Japan because those doofuses were testing atomic bombs in the ocean and he got zapped with atomic radiation which explains his atomic radioactive breath that can melt metal and all that....

I also want to say the those movies were absolute TREASURES of miniature set perfection.....the time that went into making those mini landscapes and a mini Tokyo.....amazing! :D

GODDESS6 06-29-2005 09:17 PM

this looks to be alot of fun, can't wait to see it!!! :nod: ~

irishgrl 06-29-2005 09:17 PM

yet another thing:
I rooted for Godzilla even tho King Kong was being billed as the "American" monster against the "Japanese" monster Godzilla. Godzilla had cool factor!

That's the movie I was talking about too. That was the only movie where Godzilla was actually scary. :nod: Now Godzilla vs. Megalon... :laugh: What a cheese fest. I mean, the part where that giant robot man holds Gigan and Godzilla slides on his tail and kicks him is worth the price of admission alone. :laugh:

And as for Star Trek, I'm more of an 80's movies/Next Generation fan. :nod:

GODDESS6 06-30-2005 06:22 AM
