It's an appropriately dark song for the Batman. I like most all iterations of Batman, nipple suit notwithstanding, but the dark side of Batman is most intriguing. The 1966 Batman is also awesome, and features a shot of the LA Temple to boot.Originally posted by Commando View PostGreat trailer. I don't think I've heard 'Something in the Way' used in any soundtrack or trailer unless I'm mistaken..

I like Batman a lot, but it just feels too soon for another Batman reboot.Originally posted by originalsocal View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I think the Into the Spiderverse movie reconciled a lot of these reboots for me. I'm cool thinking that Michael Keaton's Batman and Joaquim Phoenix' Joker etc can all co-exist.Originally posted by falafel View PostI like Batman a lot, but it just feels too soon for another Batman reboot.Last edited by Commando; 08-26-2020, 12:05 PM."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

As a big fan of the book I can't wait for this one (again)...
I remember seeing the 1984 version with some friends. None of them had read the book. They all thought it was the worst movie ever."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

I also liked the Hans Zimmer cover of FLoyd in the trailer. I hope that makes it into the movie. I had the same experience when I saw the 1984 version. The others with me hated it and I quite enjoyed it, primarily because I knew what was going on from having read the book.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostAs a big fan of the book I can't wait for this one (again)...

For those that have read the book. I heard I should read the Appendices and Terminology section first. Is that the case?Originally posted by creekster View PostI also liked the Hans Zimmer cover of FLoyd in the trailer. I hope that makes it into the movie.

So it sounds like this is a good book for nerds. Maybe I should read it."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I'm not falling in this trap again. I read Jurassic Park before the movie came out and all it did was make me hate the movie. Great. Everyone's having the time of their life in Jurassic Park and I'm the only guy in town not enjoying himself.

I was so captivated by it that I then read all of the sequels, including those bastard hybrids that were actually written by Frank Herbert's son and which were, to be honest, awful. Because so much time has gone by, I hesitate to wholeheartedly endorse the book because sometimes going home again can be a little disappointing. But personally I remain enthusiastic about it.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostSo it sounds like this is a good book for nerds. Maybe I should read it.
The book was amazing to me when I read it. it was full of sometimes obvious but still very enjoyable commentary on ecology, politics, gender roles, strategy and more. Of all the science fiction books I read, and there were more than a few, that first book has stuck with me. If you like science fiction, and if you are willing to remember the book was written decades ago, I think it is well worth it. I don't really think you need to start with the appendices or terminology guides or whatever. But you could and it wouldn't matter.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

I agree. I also read it when I was a teen and remember really liking it.
