Through a Mask Darkly - Batman Rising
The new Batman movie sucks. Watch the trailers and turn off the soundtrack. You’ve basically got bad kabuki. Its a brilliant concept. Take two splendid actors and cover their faces with masks and then have em yell in giant electrical monster voices. Where’s a Greek chorus when you need one?!
And whats with summer action movies anyway. Has humanity become a fire worshiping cult and no one told me. Am I supposed to masturbate to explosions now? Wow, how did that car turn into a motorcycle turn into an airplane. Why is everything so loud and dark. Can one of the camera’s stay here on Morgan Freeman and we can hang out with him and listen while he reads erotic poetry, instead of watching Anne Hathaway try to be sexy in the all the wrong ways. Can we get drunk with Morgan Freeman instead of being relentlessly bludgeoned by bad political metaphors? It’ll be cheaper and infinitely more rewarding. I promise, unless you’re a a huge fan of loud dull improbable things or one of those fire pervs.
