Here's a nifty l'il 'slice of life' animated short:

Ahh, the 80s...

So, the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song is an integral part of basic training in the Russian military .. apparently? Maybe? Anyway, here are several examples, collated for your giggling pleasure:

'fan-animated' music video directed by the talented Vivienne Medrano .. packed with confident layouts, wild color design and FUN motion..!

I found it a little "over animated", but some great keys in there for sure.

Batman Begins Honest Trailer:

Pretty funny except I don't like how it seems to lump the Burton films with Schumacher's (not mentioning them at all as well as constantly saying that BB was the very first time the franchise was done perfectly. I really like Batman Begins...but saying it's better than everything that came before is more of a matter of opinion.).


This is a GREAT defense of Keaton's amazing performance. Expresses my feelings almost exactly:

Okay. This is pretty great...

[Ben]

Don't forget that Schumacher's two Bat-flicks were continuations of the Burton films, Vi.

We may not have liked where he took them, but Burton produced Forever and Keaton was set to reprise the role before he dropped out. The plan for a fifth film would have seen Batman face up against all the villains that came before, including Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, etc.

So...yeah, although they veered off from Burton's initial approach, those four films are a series and are rightly discussed together.

[ShyViolet]

Gotcha.

[Dacey]

In one of the extras on the Batman and Robin disc, they discuss how the plan for the sequel would've brought in Harley Quinn...the Joker's daughter!

Yeah...

[ShyViolet]

Lol! That sounds awful!


Glad it was never made. Although I read years and years ago that Jeff Goldblum would have played the Clock King. That might actually have been pretty fun.

Harley could have worked in context. After all, it would have been more creepy to have a 50 or 60-something Jack getting too close to a 20-something young woman, however nuts they both were. It's not like the Burton/Schumacher films stuck especially close to the original storylines anyway!
