Rate The Last Movie you Watched
Batman 1989. This was this week’s movie in the Rewatchables, so thought I’d watch it before listening to the podcast. It had been a long time, and I had forgotten how cartoony and OTT it actually was. Nicholson is obviously great in it, but also really noticed how great the sets and miniatures used in the filming were. Tim Burton’s Gotham was truly gothic.
jonattonyeah It’s got to be in my top 10. Remember watching it the first time and thinking how the fuck they’re going to do the fight scenes because they’re puppets on strings and then seeing exactly what I imagined. Fucking brilliant film.
Now suck my cock.
Yeah it’s almost a farce given where Batman has gone in subsequent films. But an absolute phenomenon when it came out. While I was quite young I remember it being everywhere.
Hannu, have you listened to The Big Picture movie drafts? They’re excellent. On The Ringer. Sean Fennessey know his stuff and Chris Ryan is always a great listen. Both are regulars on the Rewatchables.
jonattonyeah will keep in mind when I run out of podcasts to listen to.
Batman was the first movie I ever saw in a movie theatre BTW. I was eleven at the time, and so excited I thought I was going to puke.
10/10
Lol no wonder it was so long.
The Big Chill. Never seen it before. Liked it. William Hurt was great in it, and boy did Meg Tilly look amazing. Reminded me of Beautiful Girls, which is sadly not streaming anywhere.
Justwatch.com informed me that I can rent it however, so that’s tomorrow night’s movie.
Homegrove Beautiful Girls
The Willie/Marty thing is ehhhhhhhhhh rewatching that film a few years back.

I always thought it was meant to be that way. The way his friend reacts to it. As any sane person would.
Yeah you’re right. I dunno. It just makes for an odd watch. Was working the bar yesterday and we had a murder of girls come in, all 21 or 22. They looked so young. Willie with a 13 year old is fucking gross and is an odd narrative choice.
jonattonyeah yeah I guess it’s a pretty extreme way to show him trying to decide what to do with his life.

DIY disposal or do you have a go-to removal guy?
My bodyguards took care of it.
Not the best batman different approach to it, still well worth a watch though. 6.5/10.
Grossed half a billion already not even released in China yet.
State of Mind. Good flick. Dinkler is a cracking actor for a midget.
