TGP:

It's my personal hope that Warner will do 2-disc Digipak SEs of at least Tim Burton's "Batman" efforts. Even though "Batman Whatever" and "Batman & Boy Toy" are pretty bad, I might want to own SEs of them because
a) I liked Val Kilmer's turn even if he's not as good as Michael Keaton;
b) I am in love with Nicole Kidman;
c) I am in love with Alicia Silverstone;
d) Arnold's campiness is pretty hilarious.

You're right, of course, that re-releases timed to "Batman Begins" would be smart marketing, though I wonder how "good" that would be considering that Sony is already pushing for HD-DVD in 2006.

P.S. Tim...you...are my number one.

-You...are my number one... guy!
-A little song, a little dance, Batman's head on a lance.
-Looks like we've got a live one here.
-Tell me what kind of world we live in where a man dresses like a bat?
-This town needs an enema!
-Hubba hubba hubba money money money, who do you trust?
-I have given a name to my woes. And that name is Batman.
-New and improved Joker products! With the new ingridient SMILEY! Uh-oh! He's been using Brand X! With Joker products I get a smile again and again and again! You may be asking yourself, where can I get new Joker products? Well that's the joke! Chances are, you bought them already!

The great quotes go on and on. What a classic film!
Also, Batman Forever is okay because the villains were dynamic and fun to watch, except that there was a flashback of Wayne's dead parents and the terrible "falling into a cave and seeing a bat" story. But Batman and Robin is just completely bad with no real entertainment to it. If Uma Thurman had busted out a sword "Kill Bill" style she would've whooped Robin and maybe even Batman's (sorry, I mean George Clooney) ass! :)
Anyway, I also think that "Batman Returns" is arguably better than the first although no one agrees with me. :)

Well, I thought that Danny DeVito was completely gonzo, but the Batman-Catwoman angle was great stuff, with all that weird psychology. "Batman Returns" is probably a truer version of Burton's "German Expressionism" aesthetic than "Batman", though it's so nihilistic that even Batman seems to want to die rather than save anybody, lol.

We're talking about the new Batmobile and nobody's asked:

"Where does he get those wonderful toys?"

I'll bet Jack is crying right now.

"The skulls, the bodies. You give it all such a glow! I don't know if it's art, but I like it!"

Sean (I'm bustin' out with the Batdance right now, and none of you even know...)

BTW: "You're insane." "Really? I thought I was a pisces."

"I'm of a mind that makes a movie."

The Batdance? Jeez, that was from one of the Prince songs that were written for the movie, lol.

By the way, Sean, would you be interested in writing DVD reviews?

Have any of you seen the Batdance music video? If your answer is no, good, then you have been spared for the most painful, life-destroying experience in your life. If your answer was yes, then my prayers are with you.

Also, "they just don't make them like they used to!"

"I'm gonna need a moment alone, boys"- Joker says after shooting his "best friend" out of anger at Batman

"Oh! I've got a live one here. HEEHEEHEEHEE HAHAHAHA."

Trust me, the whole Batdance thing...Definitely a joke!

Although, there was a time, when I was but a young lad of 15 and all things Batman were magical that I did, yes, I did, record the Batdance video.

I can hear my own son right now mimicking Sylvester's son: "Oh, for shame, Father!" :D

"Jesus Marimba. A beautiful creature like that walking around puts steam in a man's stride!"

Sean (sufferin' succotash!)

P.S.: Eddie, actually, I would love to write some reviews; however, my main concern is time. Not sure how many I would be able to do for you right now. I'm afraid they might be a little few and between for awhile. E-mail me at the yahoo address listed on my profile and maybe we could work something out.

Sean,

Actually, I don't have access to your e-mail address (only my EIC does). E-mail me at yef@dvdtown.com, and we'll talk.
