Well, I remember reading the original comic book as a kid, and they did call him The Batman back then.
I’m watching True Lies again right now and have noticed that any movie or TV show that has Arab terrorists will always include an Arab police or federal officer to “balance” the portrayal of Arabs.
In an action movie when they have usually the secondary character (like the sidekick) say “This is where the fun begins” or “Here we go!” or “Holy shit this is crazy!” in order to drill into the audience that they are supposed to become more excited and to remind them that what’s happening should be considered exciting.
I’m so fucking sick of a group of characters handing over their cell phones to a lead character who doesn’t want distractions while on a trip or something like that. “Everybody put your cell phones in this bag.”
Really, we can’t come up with any plot device more clever than this to isolate a group from outside assisstance?
All characters in an action movie, be they female, child or overweight male, are grip masters capable of closing the Captains of Crush #3 as they can hold on to 6’ diameter pipes or even building ledges for over 2 minutes.
Mel Gibson getting tortured.
Just kidding, I always enjoy it.

That, and where one hand slips and they continue to hang on with one hand.

Hey yeah you’re right!
The mandatory scene in post apocalyptic movies where the hero’s boots are coveted by a soon to be deceased gang of petty crims. Who gets the boots?
Any scene in a Western or post apocalyptic movie where an undertaker measures somebody for a coffin before they’re dead. What’s the rush?

That’s so they don’t confuse this character with Bale’s other character, Patrick Batman.
In spy movies now where it seems like after 9/11 there are no more threats from Islamic terrorists so it’s rogue agents selling a disc with all the other agents’ names on them…in th e90s it seemed like rogue Russian missiles going on the black market.

I didn’t see that. What happened in it?

Maybe he’s sick of war movies.
Or maybe he’s sick of films with a single plural title followed by a number.
He could be sick of movie posters showing a motley line-up of dudes in semi-uniforms.
But most likely he’s just sick of each of those actors.

My reference with the picture. That was the plot of this movie
Just finished reading this thread, some great examples here had me laughing quite a bit. Surprised no one mentioned my biggest problem with a lot of movies, cell phones treated like landlines. For instance, someone will hang up and the main character’s cell plays a dial tone. Or to emphasize that there’s no signal, the cell will beep or play that tone/message that there’s no connection. Bugs me everytime.

Hey, late to the party here and just skipped to the end. Did anyone mention Maggie Gyllenhaal yet? You could cut diamond with that grill. [/quote]
I’ve said it before and everyone was mean to me, she ruined the Batman movie she was in. Her and the Chinaman’s scene is atrocious.
She’s so damn smug in everything she does.
[/quote]
Everything about Maggie Gyllenhaal is nightmarish. I cringed when Heath Ledger was forced to imply that she was ‘beautiful’ in the party scene.
The only mercy is that it SEEMS that she’s not being cast as the ‘sexy female lead’ ever since she grounded so many woodies in The Dark Knight.

You have a choice: Survive a plane crash on a remote island with either Maggie Gyllenhaal OR Rosie O’Donnell.
Maggie looks pretty damn good now, doesn’t she?
lol

You can live much longer and retain your lean body mass eating Rosie, horse face you will eat in a couple days.
