Well, sure.  That comes with the territory.

Believe it or not... in real life, computer programming teenagers don't actually hack into the government computer responsible for launching all the nukes and almost accidentally set off a nuclear WWIII.  Gaming programmers aren't actually sucked inside computers and forced to compete with programs on a digital field of battle.  And sadly, coders also don't ever actually try to siphon off the fractions of pennies from large-scale bank transactions resulting in either a run-in with an evil version of Superman, or a crazy dude with a red stapler, depending on which decade you're in.

Kelly LeBrock.  Mmm.

Got sucked into an 80's too-raunchy for theaters utube vid this morning.  One of the mentions was Hot Dog--The Movie. 

Sure glad my otherwise frugal parents sprung for HBO/Showtime.  My Tutor was another fave. 

Chachi was in some dumb movie where he had the powers of telekinesis, and disrobed most of the babe characters. 

Rob Lowe having a fling with Jaqueline Bissett, who played his roommate's mom, was another.

Over the past two weekends we rewatched the whole Dark Knight trilogy (Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan dir., etc.)  I think this was perhaps just the second time I saw The Dark Knight Rises, maybe having only seen it once in the theater.  I kind of remember this being my initial reaction, but now, all these years later, it's even more clear that this trilogy finale had glaring problems.  It's still a fun watch and overall a well-done movie.  The actors all do a pretty good job with what they've got to work with.  However, Bane's whole nefarious plan made zero sense, and was dumb AF, and that kind of drags the whole thing down.  Especially when watching it right on the heels of the first two, when the comparison is fresh.  Bane's motivation also seemed to be mostly just a rehashed version of what the Joker set out to do in the second film, prove that people really suck and all that.  Only the Joker did it better, and the concept wasn't tired and played out by that point.  I appreciate that Bane purported to be some type of cleansing agent, ridding the world of corruption, while masquerading as a Marxist asshole, while the Joker, in contrast, was an anarchist with nihilist tendencies.  But the point they tried to make while setting about their business was the same, and......meh.  Already seen it, and the Joker did it better.

I've heard that Christopher Nolan had lost interest in the franchise at that point and didn't really want to make that film, but was contractually obligated to.  If true.....it kinda shows.  I've also read that a big reason for not killing the Joker in the second movie was because the plan was to bring him back to be a part of the third movie, though that wasn't possible since Heath Ledger died prior to the second movie's release.  If so, maybe some of the scripting for the third movie was already done and they wound up using elements of it in making the third movie.  That would explain why some of the same stuff was getting rehashed, albeit in a clunkier manner....because this was originally the Joker's next move. 

All that said, it's still not a bad film, and I'd take it over much of what gets produced today. 

Conversely, the first movie, Batman Begins, is a better movie than I remember giving it credit for.  Not as good as the second movie, which was the clear high-point for me.  But still a very solid effort that stands very well on its own.
