Little Old School Batman
While relaxing tonight I happened upon Batman with none other than Michael Keaton (who knows what he’s doing now?) and Jack Nicholson. I remember seeing this movie in the theatre and thinking it was great. So much in fact that I went out and bought the sound track that was all by Prince. I’m not sure I’d think it was a great soundtrack now, but it was back then. Loved that soundtrack. Any how like I said it was a good movie for it’s time but the last Batman that they made with Christian Bale just blows this out of the water. However we are not comparing apples to apples. The next Batman movie will be a better comparison.
So here’s a few comparisons of old vs new.
Christian Bale beats Keaton hands down on the Batman role (and every other player of Batman for my generation. For those wanting to know that is: Keaton, Kilmer and Clooney).
Heath Ledger may have made his way up the totem pole with Brokeback Mountain (and other poles…bad joke I know), but I don’t think he’ll top Nicholson as The Joker. The story overall might be better in this new one, but acting wise I think Nicholson wins this one hands down.
Hotties of the movies…Kim Bassinger vs Maggie Gyllenhaal (my new favorite). Again at the time I thought Bassinger was to die for, but Maggie has moved up a bit on my list of hotties as of late. Not sure why but she has.
So there you have it…yeah a little bit odd for me, but oh well. I need to think about something other than high winds, pulling branches to the gutter and sawing branches. Yeah we had another nasty storm here last night. Worst one since I’ve lived out here.
I’m going to bed now!
