Over the past two weeks I watched the entire "RoboCop: The Series". I'd never seen it in its entirety until now (shame on me) and am glad to have finally caught up on it.

In general, I liked it quite a bit. Robo's non-violent approach is downright ridiculous at times and while pretty much all the bad guys were over the top, I liked that there were some recurring villains and plot-points. I liked how they handled The Chairman/Old Man and Diana, but I wish we could've seen more of her and her interactions with Murphy. I also enjoyed the presence of Murphy's family and the episodes with his dad. The Commander Cash commercials were neat and I felt were really in line with the commercials in the movies.

Overall, not a bad show at all. Could've used some more gunfire, but otherwise, I thought it was pretty good, though definitely a product of its time.

^ Pretty much this. Well met, 93. Wink

Anyway, did hit Batman Forever the other day.. Have to say the parts I enjoyed I found enjoying more. Kilmer really does the role justice as a Keaton replacement, easily the top point of the flick. Chris O'Donnell was a'right and Nicole Kidman.. bah, just plain hotness.

That said, the bad parts really stuck out more for me.. Carrey's Riddler was simply WAY over the top and kooky, TLJ's Two-Face not as much but still overly cheesy. This, along with some other things, quips and set-pieces, etc, really conflict with Kilmer and other parts. It really feels like it tries to be both serious and fun at the same time and unfortunately it fails badly. Really felt strongest in the more serious moments and weakest on the goofy parts. Eh, it's not horrible, but no better to me than it always has been. Could have done without the ass shot for sure. tongue

Caught some other stuff on HBO - The Nice Guys was some fun yet tough action. Definitely Shane Black-ish stuff. The Night Of miniseries was damn gnarly and rough but had a nice ending. Also re-watched End of Days, not truly superb but I think it's rather underrated as an Arnie flick.

That's the funny thing about Forever - I've never been a fan of the villains' campiness or the Batmobile going up the side of the building... yet some of my favourite moments in the flick are also among the cheesiest - Gordon going "Go! Go!" at the Batwing, for example.

True that. I do love my suit-up sequences and it's always one of the things I look forward to the most in a Batman movie, but the ass shots in the Schumacher flicks are a bit too much. And it's a damn shame the Panther suit has nipples on it. Take those away and that suit is just damn gorgeous!

Well at least we all agree that the nipple shot was absolutely necessary.

The nipple shot was in "Batman & Robin" though. In the chest shot from the opening of "Forever" the nipples aren't visible, the Sonar Suit doesn't have nipples and Robin, well, he doesn't even get a suit-up sequence.

Ah, how could I forget. I guess that is why some consider Batman Forever a more respectable and tasteful film that Batman & Robin.

I agree. I caught that movie in my teenage years and I enjoyed Kidman on it.

Villains are treated bad in the Schumacher flicks. Carrey tried to hard to do an over-the-top version of Gorshinīs Riddler from the TV Show and Tommy Lee Jones was... strange as Two Face. He plays him on a cartoon level instead of an straight portrait of the character. And Jones is famous for his serious roles, so itīs a weird decision to see him as a crazy Looney Tunes kind of character.

Donīt forget the crotch shots on "Batman & Robin".

PS: Why Batgirlīs suit didnīt have nipples? Sexist flick!

I know that's what he was going for, but man it just came off as extreme Jim Carrey being extreme Jim Carrey, just couldn't buy into it. I also agree TLJ's portrayal of Two-Face is rather odd given his history as an actor. I'm sure Joel wanted his portrayal to be that way - and perhaps TLJ wanted to do something a bit silly for once - but in any case it just doesn't really work here. I can see the fun of it, indeed tried hard to keep with that myself, but man it just don't make it at the end of the day.

Might've had one of those in Forever as well. Bah.

The young Drew Barrymore was f'n hot too. At least it had some candy there for the male pigs in us. Wink

Anyway, eventually I'll finish up proper with B&R. Not looking forward to it too much, but still.

Otherwise, just caught Renaissance Man with the old man earlier. The film seems to have been poorly regarded and flopped badly but man I didn't see the 'it sucks' in it. It's decent. Granted it ain't totally fantastic and is rather unbelievable situation-wise but not as bad as it may seem to me. DeVito does quite well and it's got some good vibes in it. Kind of a sleeper.

Oh yeah, Drew was pretty nice there as well. Embarassed

Not watching too much movies right now, but Iīve been busy with series. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season 3 (plenty of cameos from people who worked on "30 Rock"), BBCīs "Crashing" or "Fleabag".

Saw the two "Hellboy" movies the other day. I'd never seen the second one and it'd been a while since I'd seen the first one too, so...

Yeah, I didn't like them that much. In terms of make-up and visual effects they are downright gorgeous. The first one also has a steampunk masked Nazi blade-wielder which is downright awesome. Second one however...meh, I'm not huge on Elves. And while I don't mind fantasy creatures, something about them bothered me here and the first one felt better overall.

I'm in no way a Hellboy expert. I've never even read the comics, but like I said, the creature effects and make-up are the highlights of both flicks for me, I especially loved Kraus and Abe, so definitely worth seeing for them alone.

Trainspotting 2, which was OK but nowhere near the iconic original, which I also rewatched (for the first time in English actually, or Scottish I should say haha), and still holds up as an A+ movie.

I also rewatched after a long time another trendy iconic movie of the 90's, that is Fight Club! And I found it... a bit disappointing actually! All the beginning was kind of long, repetitive and boring, until Brad Pitt's character appears and then the movie gets interesting, his charisma and the frustrations of the generation X are the selling point lf the movie. However all the "fight club" is a bit ridiculous I'm sorry to say, as if boxing gyms didn't exist. I used to believe it was an A movie, now I would say B or B- ...

Wow, thanks! I actually feel very much the same way, just never wanted to admit it much. It's a good film to be sure but I agree certainly not worth quite all the hype and praise it gets, to me anyway. I just don't find it on the level of 'iconic' as other films like some folks do. Close perhaps, but still.

The last movie I saw was a very good underrated movie called Something to Talk About. I'll give it a 4.5/5.

"Kong: Skull Island" - it was okay. Not great, but entertaining and I wouldn't have regretted seeing it in theatres if I had. Still, it had some dumb moments and I really am tired of Sam Jackson. With that being said, while not really a bad movie, it still felt like they made it for the post-credits scene alone.
