    I'd rather glimpse Rotten Tomatoes than read Mike LaManaco reviews....simple percentages work for me and IMBD covers the rest.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    But I found the movie a bit "heavy" to be the kind of movie I'd pop in the PS3 and watch "for fun".

    That was Nolan's point to Dark Knight; there were a great deal of underlying themes going on here, most of which dealt with dark, ugly subjects and tensions and such.
    Now Iron Man is fun.

    Totally different kind of comic adaptation though...
    Further, the original 4 Batman flicks - even the cheesy ones - were fun. My personal favorite was #2. I'd more likely watch #2 (who didn't love Christopher Walken?!) before Dark Knight. And how about this gem of a one-liner.

    Evil Clown is told of the nefarious plan to kidnap and kill all first born children in Gotham City and asks Penguin: "Uh, isn't that a little..."
    Penguin shootshim dead in cold blood and angerly says "No, its a LOT!"

    That was indeed a great line by Pengun's henchman; how about "I'd love to teach her my French flipper trick!!"

    While Batman Returns was good, Burton's original was much more tactile and effective. As I said, watch carefully Keaton's gestures under the mask...

    What's your problem? You didn't even get my name right because you were in such a rush to type your witty reply of how you don't need to read my reviews...I'm not in competition with IMBD or Rotten Tomatoes, so why even come in here and make a statement such as this? :rolleyes:

    I dunno, felt like it. I never said you were in a competition and it's a free speech area here. Rock on Mike, review your butt off.

    But damn, man. That's just rude.
    I never said you were in a competition and it's a free speech area here.

    But there are those -- not just me -- that are contributing to the enjoyment of the site by providing reviews of certain titles and who are working hard to do so; sure, there's a freedom of speech that can be argued just about anywhere in this country and in its online community...but should that freedom be abused to the point that you feel it's merely "okay" to say this about someone because it's a "free speech" issue? I know the others who provide reviews wouldn't find it "nice."
    Rock on Mike, review your butt off.

    I'll try to separate myself from the structures in the likes of Rotten Tomatoes...:cool:
