Forecast: 6-15
Attained: 7-15


Okay, so Batman Forever is not the best of the franchise evah, but neither is it the worst. (Jim Carrey as the Riddler is not an asset - I found myself growling at him to 'Oh, just stop!' - but the Riddler's costuming is superb.)

Robin (Chris O'Donell) looks a bit of orright.


I did enjoy the slashiness: it wasn't particularly subtle (or that could've just been me...)
At one point Two Face (Tommy Lee Jones) had Robin and Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman) trapped in giant tubes with the intention of making Batman chose which one dies first. (Yeah, this movie was definitely looking backwards to the 60's tv series.) Anyway, Two Face introduces the 'contestants' as 'the love of Batman's life' and I, giggling, finished the statement with, 'and some woman he's been hanging around with'.

... still giggling. :)

Last performance of the school musical went well, with Badger receiving lots of congratulations on his convincing German accent, again. There was a cast party afterwards, with pizza and lollies.
The cubs have a curriculum day tomorrow, so no school and the chance of a lie in. I think they both need it.

I absolutely *LOATHE* Carrey. Can't bear to watch him in anything. Well, except maybe Earth Girls Are Easy, but he doesn't have many lines or much to do in that...

I think we may have B&R though. Might grit my teeth and mute Carrey's bits to watch it again.

You're in luck! He's not in that one, only 'Batman Forever'. Arnie's in B&R as Mr Freeze, and George Clooney at Batman. :)

Just checked - it's the Dark Knight franchise we have, so no joy there. I remember renting B&R and thinking the 'swooping in like a robin' line sounded unbelievably naff.
