Modern Times -- It’s Modern Times with The Conveyer-Belt, Production-Line and prototype experimental Food Machine. And the rollerskating.
City Lights is the one with the poor, blind flowergirl and Millionaire Tippler with a Multiple Personality (Dis)Order Set -- Jovial, Bounteous, Warm, Loyal and Generous when sotted, a Viscous, paranoid Fascist skinflint while stone-cold sober.
The Tramp has to figure out a way to keep him drunk and friendly long enough for The Jovial Millionaire Personality to him to gift him the money that he can use to pay for The Flower Girl to get the treatment to cure her blindness, and SURVIVE their boozy rollicking hijinks and escapades, without the Sober Personality taking control, having forgotten that he even knows The Tramp, and having him immediately arrested and thrown in jail --
The ubiquity of superheroes, especially since the advent of the MCU, is kind of tiresome in its way. My interest in them comes and goes these days, though at one time I thought it’d be perennial. Reading what you have to say about them, though, always reinvigorates my interest. Might have to get back to the massive Jack Kirby 4th World omnibus.
There were so many great superhero film 'reviews' in Supergods, any comments on the new Batman film? While it was quite miserablist and street-level, it also brilliantly captured a certain undeniable strain of Batman-ness, that it was hard to resist. Now with so many more Christopher Nolan films available, we look at Nolan's Batmans as Christopher Nolan films that happened to be about Batman. I don't know, maybe this new one will bear the same Matt Reeves stamp, but right now it seems a wholly original interpretation devoted entirely to Batman, without that auteur-factor of the Nolan films.
Not that it wouldn't have been awesome to have a smiling, charming Pattinson (with that hair out of his face) doing the trad. Bruce Wayne/playboy bit.
Comics are best as a storytelling method that has it's majority of the story told visually. The best comic writers, like Grant, are well aware of this, the others, well, you will open the pages and view their own stories AS WELL as the art now crushed underneath overwhelming exposition never to recover.
this is weirdly inspiriational. thank you.

[ It’s •very• funny. ]

Never stop dreaming, because you can’t

Wow, those last couple of paragraphs come off bleak.
