I got to watch "What the &%$! do we know", but to be fair to the teacher, she apparently had no idea what the hell it was. She turned it off after the part talking about how because native americans had never seen ships before, they were literally invisible to them and that's why they all got killed.

This was also the class where we had to give a speech about what we did over our summer vacation that I didn't write, so I talked about the video game Chromehounds for half an hour and somehow convinced one student I was a robot-piloting child soldier and the same grade where I convinced my ap history teacher to let me play Civilization IV for a semester and write a report on it (Egypt's armies got eaten by bears).



As it turns out rural schools are pretty garbage.

I want a movie where Batman uncovers more and more of a horrible plot that threatens to first kill or harm dozens of random people, to hundreds, then finally thousands in increasingly warped and psychotic ways as the movie goes on, but Batman can't seem to find exactly how or what this "Joker" is planning. Finally, at the climax and increasingly desperate, Batman comes face to face with the Joker in front of the world as the media copters shine a light down. Batman steps forward to attack the Joker, triggering a pressure plate in the street. A gigantic whoopie cushion lets out the world's greatest fart. No one was ever in any danger except the "gangsters" he paid to be in on it (sorry about your arm Bob Batman's pretty hosed up) the Joker just wanted to punk Batman really hard and then did. The End

e: The post-credits scene shows Clark Kent in the helicopter laughing and a flashback of Superman helping out the Joker with other parts of it because Christ, Batman's an rear end in a top hat.

Honestly the best parts of Gotham are Bruce Wayne and Alfred: Hilights from the first 2 seasons (3 hasn't started airing here yet):

1)Bruce falls into small ravine on the way back from a place that was special to him and his father, breaking his ankle. He spends all night climbing out of it in intense pain, only to see Alfred sitting at a campfire at the top - "How long have you been there?" "About an hour, Master Bruce" "And you did nothing?" "Well I didn't put you in that bloody ravine now did I?"

2) His treatment of Silver StCloud - he finds out that her family knows who murdered the Waynes, then shortly after they both get kidnapped. The goon drags Bruce away and starts beating him, trying to get information, and when he returns to Silver he puts the pressure on to try to get the info out of her. Then, when he does, he turns towards the door, says "Is that all?", then Bruce comes calmly walknig into the room saying "Yes, I think I've heard all I needed to know". The entire thing was orchestrated by Bruce because he knew she was going to betray him, so he figures he'd find out what she knew in THE MOST PSYCHOTIC WAY POSSIBLE.

Then later, he professes to her (and he is being honest) that his feelings for her have died long ago and that really shits her up, because her father is how threatening her life if she doesn't manage to win him back over again to prove her usefulness. She confides in Bruce just before he is due to be used in a sacrifice by her crazy father, and at the last minute Bruce manages to make it look like she succeeded, leaving her with a goodbye kiss to fool her father into thinking she seduced him again so that she doesn't die as well. He also isn't scared throughout the situation, he describes himself as more "Excited" now that he's facing his own death.


3) He succeeds in meeting with Joe Chill, armed and willing to kill him for what he did, only to find him a sad, lost man who has nothing to live for and has been waiting for his entire career for someone to finally catch up to him and kill him. They actually have a surprisingly civil discussion, and Bruce realises that he's lost the will to kill him because he isn't to blame for being a criminal, the system has driven him into a corner, and petty revenge would not stop more people like Joe Chill form being created, so he leaves him in peace. Only he also leaves his gun behind. As he is leaving with Gordon, who has just caught up with him, he hears a gunshot from the apartment. Joe Chill has committed suicide.



This version of Bruce Wayne is completely insane and amazing and I am pretty much watching this show for him, Cobblepot and Nigma. :3:

I've never watched Gotham and always assumed Bruce was like 8 in this show. I'm going to guess he's not. :v:

Edit: I forgot that Nick Cave so completely hated the song he did for the soundtrack that he kept it off the Bad Seeds' B-Sides and Rarities three-disc set back in like 2006, which had literally every other soundtrack contribution they'd ever done to that point. :lol:

Yeah Family Matters rules. It's a family sitcom that suddenly took an insane sci-fi bent where a character invents robocops, time travel, transformation chambers, cloning machines​, shrink rays, embiggening rays, teleportation pads, and artificial gravity.

There's nothing like it.

There's an episode where they suffera home invasion and resolve this by going on the transformation change chamber with a lock of Bruce Lee's hair and then kick the poo poo out of the robbers.

It probably works even better without the dialogue. Batman has him at his mercy, Superman desperately whispers something, Batman stumbles back shocked, looking at himself and flashing back to the murder of his parents.

Something funny I noticed the other day: after the Brendan Fraser Mummy trilogy ended Universal kept trying to resuscitate the Universal Monsters franchise with movies like The Wolf Man, Dracula Untold and now The Mummy. But do you know what was the most successful (ie: least bomb-iest) recent Universal Monsters-themed movie apart from the Fraser Mummy films? The fun but oh-so-dumb Hugh Jackman/Kate Beckinsale Van Helsing movie. :v:

Universal were hoping to spin off a few sequels from Van Helsing but nixxed that idea as soon as the reviews came out. They also wanted to make a live action TV series (partly because the village set they built for the film was so good they wanted to get more use out of it) with a wild west sheriff migrating to Transylvania to sort out their troubles with Hugh Jackman making an occasional guest appearance but that also didn't happen. The best they could do was a half hour animated prequel and a tie-in comicbook. :sad:

I genuinely like that Hugh Jackman movie. It's basically live-action Castlevania but even dumber.
