Holy urban sprawl, Batman!
Or as Adam West observes, “Some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb.”
Last night’s painful discussion of “Batman” (1966) ran 2 ½ HOURS. It was a perfect storm of Roy having an emotionally draining week, my not having eaten dinner, our struggling to adapt to a three-person format, and computer woes causing us to start 40 MINUTES LATE. That’s right, we didn’t finish until NEARLY 10 PM. Somebody stop the madness, please!
I haven’t watched it yet, but how good could it be? Thanks to Vinny Foti for sticking it out on a night when clearly we weren’t at our best, and thank you to our long-suffering viewers.
BIF! BAM! POW! Zzzzz…
Joker, Penguin, and Riddler weren’t the only ones taking it on the chin.
You’ll be guaranteed a more concise beating – if for no other reason than we’d like to get back to our hoagies and buffalo wings – as we tackle the dystopian sports classic “Rollerball” (1975), on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, livestreamed on Facebook, this Super Sunday at 7PM EST.
