One problem for me is that we've got like a 10 year wait before The Bat shows up. Bruce Wayne is about 12 years old. He appears like a smart kid, but he's still getting over the murder of his parents by person or persons unknown. Yes, he lives in Wayne Manor with Alfred the Butler.
See, the problem is also, I'm 58 years old. Now I've seen every Batman movie, and only 2 make the cut for me and they are both the Joker films. Even they make me a little squeamish. I've got both films on DVD and I've never watched them.
When you're a kid of the 1960s...This is Batman....
and Robin, of course. And the comic books, any of them before 1970. Yes, I am old, as noted. I also repeat myself. I have brain lesions. And I am tired of seeing people killed off in unique ways with no fuss (tonight on Gotham, a city councilman and his aide were killed by having a dart shot through their eyes, and another councilman [the last one I saw anyway] was stuffed into a trash can, doused with gasoline and lit up like a torch). Now that's entertainment.
Look if I want that kind of fun, I can watch ISIS videos.
Which brings me to The Walking Dead. For four years I saw every episode, it was must Sunday night watching (or Monday morning watching with coffee, cookies, and my wife off to her job). I would settle in and watch this:
And then watch everyone who was still alive run away, or, if that wasn't an option, watch Sheriff Rick and the gang stab, crush, hammer, burn and everything else to what was stumbling around the countryside just looking to feed on human flesh. Yum.
Until I noticed last season that I started to be more interested in the how than the what. How did they make that zombie do that? How did they work that cave in? I became far more interested in that then the story, which is just, well, silly. Maybe I'm just in a phase with my little bit of energy that I need to place it somewhere...like the major presentation I've got coming on Thursday.
More on that later, but for right now I'd like to have The (baby) Penguin meet the Governor in a pit that's surrounded by zombies and say, OK boys, lemme know who wins and turn the set off. You can send an e-mail.
I can not help but notice that we are over 10000 visits. Thank you.
Right now I will join my wife and watch funny shows. I hope they are.
