Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Holy Afficianado !

Batman was a superb series- worth watching for the guest stars (Otto Preminger as Mr Freeze was ok, Eli Wallach's was good, but George Sanders' was the best).

Disrespectful of a genre you say ? I wasn't aware of the status of SF- perhaps you could enlighten me of the proper respect a program must show for the "genre". (No matter what you say, Red Dwarf relies heavily on slapstick, and Hitchhikers is still better as a radio show than the ambitious TV attempt. I met Douglas Adams about 10 years ago in a pub, where he described having to put condoms on some mikes to record the blind dolphins of the Yangtze river- he didn't have much respect for SF either, my recollection was that he disliked the association with the SF fanatics who took the whole thing too seriously).

Self parody makes for some excellent comedy, that's what I do like about Star Trek and Lost in Space. To see grown- ups run around in silly outfits pretending to be on spaceships, which in turn is supposed to make other grown ups "believe" is funny, but I can see why that may not make some people laugh.

You are right about Mel Brooks- it's been downhill ever since The Producers for him. Dark Star is a much better parody, does it pay proper respect to the genre ?

As for preferring your superheroes done seriously- I am stunned.

Are you serious ? Superheroes done seriously ?
