I think if you were to try and boycott all films that had scientologists involved then you'd be left with some pretty slim pickings.

Yeah. But apart from just being complete fucking weird and acting like a creepy stalker with ex members is Scientology actually a big deal?

That's true, but with Tom Cruise specifically it seems a bit worse because (a) whatever film he's in is likely going to see him earning a lot more money than anyone else and (b) he's such a massive contributor and figurehead for them that it seems worse than supporting anyone else.

Jem fell asleep halfway through Tremors last night. The heathen.

Tremors is great, you monster.

I was holding out for sex,

Question: Wonder Woman is in BvS, yes? And Wonder Woman is set in WW2, yes? So, no tension?

You don't even need to look that far; the entire Wonder Woman film itself is framed as a flashback so yeah, you know for a fact she survives right from the very start.

Well to be fair I don't think anyone goes into a Superhero movie expecting the hero to die at the end, unless it's Superman but because Superman is Jesus we all know that fucker is coming back anyway.

I thought Wonder Woman was set in WW1 not WW2?

So did the earth move, or not?

I quite liked it. I just assumed in the first fifteen minutes that it was a love story, and it was rather nice.

He shouldn't have done it, though!

The other X-men films are nothing at all like Logan.

It's a tiny shame you've missed the rest of the films, not because they're very good (they're a bit of a mixed bag but pretty ok for superhero fodder), but because Logan is such a massive departure that it feels like the proper conclusion to a 17 year old saga.

I've become tangentially aware of the basic setup of the universe over the years so had a reasonable idea what the score was with the whole mutant thing and who everyone was, and it seems to be deliberately put together to work as a standalone film anyway really.

One thing that occurred to me afterwards is that the CGI is either really good or there's not much of it, because I didn't notice it at all.

I think having watched Wolverine on screen for 19 years really elevated Logan for me. I've always want to see him fully unleashed, but even though Logan delivers that, you also really feel the mental impact having been both a hero and a monster has had on him.

Batman and Robin was on TV the other day.
Cor, I had forgotten how SHIT it is. Everything about it is rubbish

It's rubbish as a "modern" Batman film, but if you take it as a sequel to the 1966 movie it's up there if you ask me.

I think I've seen that film, years ago when I was a kid. I seem to recall a scene of Batman and Robin climbing up a wall (it was painfully obvious that the camera had been placed on it's side). Oh, and a scene of batman running around, possibly on a pier trying to dispose of a giant bomb (cartoon style, with the sparking cord fuse). Regardless of whether this was the film, or maybe the TV series, I have fond memories of it and therefore it's far better than the Batman and Robin film - which is an utter turd.

So, nyah

Presented here on Youtube (until it is ordered taken down by some corporation) is a compilation of all the cameo appearances of celebrities who happened to coincidentally look out the window just when Batman and Robin were climbing up or down a building. They then would proceed to have a bizarre conversation with the dynamic duo. Bat Climb photo via http://www.bat-mania.co.uk:This simple stunt was accomplished by having Adam West and Burt Ward walk on the floor hunched over while the camera was tilted on its side as the celebrity pops out of the floor disguised as a window.

Some of these celebrities like Dick Clark, Jerry Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr. are still recognized by younger audiences today, but many are forgotten such as Suzy Knickerbocker. Take a look for yourself.

The celebrity cameos are in order of appearance on the video:

1. Jerry Lewis
2. Dick Clark
3. Green Hornet and Kato (Van Williams and Bruce Lee)
4. Sammy Davis Jr.
5. Jose Jimenez (Bill Dana – comedian whose Jimenez character appeared on many shows Ed Sullivan, Steve Allen etc.)
6. Sergeant Sam Stone “Felony Squad” TV Show (Howard Duff)
7. Colonel Klink “Hogan’s Heroes” TV Show (Werner Klemperer)
8. Lurch “The Addams Family” TV Show (Ted Cassidy)
9. Don Ho (Hawaiin singer)
10. Santa Claus (Andy Devine)
11. Art Linkletter (TV host and author)
12. Edward G. Robinson (the legendary actor was a well known and avid art collector who was on the 20th Century Fox lot to do makeup tests for the movie Planet of the Apes as Dr. Zaius, a role he eventually turned down, and decided it would be fun to appear on Batman)
13. Suzy Knickerbocker (pen name of Aileen Mehle, society columnist and writer)
14. Carpet King (Cyril Lord carpet merchant who was known for his TV ads. He traded some carpets to Batman producer William Dozier for the cameo spot on Batman.)

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!

No, that was The Dark Knight Rises.

Cesar Romero - who played the The Joker - refused to shave off his trademark 'tasche, so they just put the makeup over it and hoped no-one would notice.

What's weirder is that he could grow that back in three days

Watched Wonder Woman last night. For a DC film it is on the money. Has some funny parts, Gal Gadot is just stunning.
I think DC have actually captured a hero well, without it being too dark.
