I was feeling stressed the other
day, so Emily and I watched … Batman.
The 1966 Batman. Yeah. Adam West, Burt Ward, a cadre of great actors as
costumed supervillains … Alfred hiding his identity with just a mask … “Get me the Bat-Shark repellent!” … and one my
favorite movie lines:
“Some days you just can’t get rid
of a bomb.”
I guess camp and deliberate
silliness just don’t cut it in today’s movies (It sure didn’t work in 1997’s Batman and Robin), which maybe says
something about society. But it sure was a fun “Pow!” from the past.
*sigh* Well, back to shameless
self-promotion.
I saw it once, when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteOnce was one time far too many!
It all depends on how you approach it!
DeleteI remember watching the re-runs as I got older. Was born in 1965.
ReplyDeleteSame here, I was born in 1962.
DeleteI mean, 1972. Yeah, that's it.
