The Movie: Batman and Robin 1997. Written by Academy Award Wining Writer Akiva Goldsman Directed by Joel Schumacher Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell, Uma Thurman, and Alicia Silverstone
I'm not going to lie to you guys, I wasn't sure I'd make it to this one tonight. I just got of the worst/most-unprofessional tech day of my life. I spent 9 hours moving a giant platform, with a grand piano on it, back and forth, so honestly I'm running on fumes. Or should I say spite. Because when I thought about the idea of packing in my movie review month the day it finished because of some unprofessional dick doesn't understand that things move slowly when you put a grand piano on top of them sounded worse than any fate that could befall me. I will not give up. I will not fail you (the 5-15 people who read these). I will endure.
So enough self-aggrandizing on to the snobbery and esoteric references. (Something something Booster Gold.) Do you guys want me to summarize this movie? I mean, no right? everyone has seen the movie where the guy who wants a new ice age, and the lady who wants the planet to be covered in plants team up to do those things and never question how that was going to work out in the end. Also the only batman movie featuring the BatCredit Card (Never leave the cave with out it)? Also bat girl is in it, but she seems really bored.
Batman and Robin is, I think, perhaps the most important bad movie ever made. It's a symbol to greedy cash ins. It is the patron saint of the Hate Watch, and (truly) a fabulous piece of pop-art.
It is also a piece of shit.
