If it helps, I also enjoy the films of Nic Cage.

Batman’s not even a superhero

@manybellsdown , @TobinL

Is there even a difference between what Bruce does & cosplay?

[nimelennar]

Cosplay is pretending to be someone you’re not.

When Nightwing or Damien wear the cape and cowl, that might be cosplay, but Bruce Wayne created Batman: Batman is Bruce Wayne in a cape and cowl.

[jamesnsc]

So he’s cosplaying a character he created himself then.

[nimelennar]

I don’t think that’s possible. I think that, for instance, if a fan comes to a convention as Deadpool, that’s cosplay, but if Ryan Reynolds comes in a Deadpool costume, he’s just in character.

It’s certainly a costume, but you’re not playing the character, you’re becoming the character.

[Melizmatic]

Agreed.

Wayne takes the dangerous risks of being a vigilante, and actually lives the lifestyle of the costume he puts on; he’s not emulating anyone, he’s concealing his identity as he breaks the law.

[jerwin]

that’s probably because you’re not an eight year old girl.

I think The Goonies is a terrible movie.

Explorers is better.*

• not true, actually. It was better when I was 7. It really wasn’t when I rewatched it recently. But The Goonies isn’t worth going back and rewatching either.

I really enjoyed eccleston.

Dr Who 2005 has been all downhill since Eccleston. ALL DOWNHILL

Academic subjects can fall victim to the People’s Republic of Tyranny trope.

Any subject that needs to be hyphenated with -Studies -Theory or -Science is likely to be less than entirely rigorous. Things prefixed with Post- are even worse (As always, with notable exceptions).

[bucaneer]

What do you have against my degree in Post-Science Theory Studies, huh?

@Purplecat

Name one?

[Purplecat]

Materials Science.

Full of rigourous metallurgy, nanotechnology, inorganic chemistry and biomaterials, but all brought together to create new and exciting things.

I thought The Goonies was fun to see in the theater, back when I was 14. Unlike Thunderdome or Star Wars, I’ve not felt the urge to revisit it.

Exactly this. It’s fondly remembered because it’s a perfect film for 14 year old boys. Re-watching it as an adult is a bad idea, trust me. Kind of like the original Pete’s Dragon, which I adored as a kid but has aged very poorly; as an adult it’s hard to overlook that it’s got an entire song about child slavery and another song about how drunk Mickey Rooney is.
