Just for the guy that called in about the plot hole in Avatar ... It isn't one... Spoiler for Avatar
They didn't have a nuke, it would take them six years + to get one, they had to use Mineing explosives on the great tree, they didn't have tactical let alone a nuke, there there for security not attack

Prince might be a musical genius, however the Batman soundtrack was him phoning it in.

And they needed to mine the planet for that material they needed and nuking the tree would make it difficult with the fallout.

Prince - spot on Bryan, musical genius, regardless of his assless pants.

Ballads & Sagas - It's too bad this book couldn't find its audience. It was beautiful, but anything Charles Vess draws is beautiful

Starchild - Jamie, nice call. This was one of my favorite books when Owen was publishing it - always top of the stack.

Good episode guys.

thanks,
chris

I couldn't disagree more.

Here, let me give you some examples of him phoning it in:

Come
The Gold Experience
Chaos and Disorder
2/3 of Emancipation
Crystal Ball
Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic
The Rainbow Children

I won't argue that there's plenty of other examples of him phoning it in, but that Batman soundtrack is just plain lazy compared to his prime.

Hmm... I think it's brilliant and far from lazy.

how much money has avatar made... well over a billion internationally, but... what about inflation? it's ranked 32nd at this point, according to that site.

That site only measures domestic box office though, international box office is such a massive component of so many films today (Avatar included) that it is largely comparing apples to oranges.

EDIT: They do also have a worldwide box office table: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/ but it's not adjusted for inflation for obvious reasons.

Put me down for the 60s Batman theme.
I'm not the biggest fan of the purple dwarf (or as he was known back in the day in Creem magazine, "Disco's Rude Boy.)
I have multiple versions of the 60s theme on my iPod, including the original and covers by The Who and The Jam.
The song is agelessly cool, whether done as surfer twang or power pop. Can't say the same for the Minnesota midget.

Of course, Danny Elfman's Batman theme buries 'em all.

Wait - The Who covered the 60's Batman TV Theme? Holy crap I gotta track that down!

OK - I just tracked The Who version down. Not all that impressed.

But the mere fact that they covered the song was good enough for me!

Man, Prince is awesome, and his batman soundtrack is awesome. And the true genius of it is that his music, so opposite to what you would expect in a Batman film, is only used during the Joker scenes.
