The kids were watching Batman and Robin again when Darin came home from work. “Daddy! Daddy! Did you know Batman is now the President of our country?”
I guess something got lost in the translation there. “No, kids, it’s Mr. Freeze, and he’s our Governor. Not Batman. I’m sure we’d all prefer George Clooney to be President. But that hasn’t happened. Yet.” (Okay, I didn’t really say that last part.)
I swear, it’s like living in the comic strip “Baby Blues” around here. (Is that the funniest strip in the world or what? Okay, maybe you have to be a parent of young kids to truly appreciate it…)
(And how hard did Joel Schumacher work to make George Clooney almost completely charisma-free in this movie? I saw that this is still bobbing-head Clooney, before someone told him “Stop moving your head when you talk!” It truly was distracting.)
I believe it was Soderburgh who told him not to d othat head thing, if you will notice, in Out of Sight
I believe it was Soderburgh who told him not to do that head thing, if you will notice, in Out of Sight, he wasn’t doing it. Or that thing where he used to look up through his eyelashes.
A similar thing happened to me, I was leaving a cinema after watching Shrek 2 and a (I’m making assumptions here) clearly naive teenager said: “I simply can’t believe you when you say that Mike Myers is bookie’s favourite to be next prime minister!”. I wondered whether this idea wouldn’t be too badly recieved by the British Public…
