So far, I'm eyeing at 4 PM CST (5 PM EST, 2 PM PST, 10 PM GMT). You all know the drill, the first ten minutes of the show will be the gathering of everyone who wishes to participate in the commentary by either calling in at phone number (718) 506-1334 or connecting a microphone to your computer and visiting the show?s main page, www.blogtalkradio.com/DarrellKaiser and clicking "Click to Talk." As soon as everyone is set, set your own personal copies of the film, preferably a DVD, we are commenting on set at 0:00:00 and I will give the word to begin playing. As the film goes on, we will make our comments and hopefully we will have time for afterthoughts after the film ends. At the end of the show, a recording of the show will be available to download at the end. If you plan on commenting, let be know if you have a DVD copy of the films on hand so I know what we can start with. If you don?t have a copy, I hope you?ll be able to rent a DVD copy, because each and every one of you will make this commentary special.

You can move it back an hour if you want, i'm fine with an 11pm (GMT) start
Title: Re: BATMAN - 20th Anniversary Fan Audio Commentary Recording 6/23/09
Post by: Kamdan on Tue, 23 Jun 2009, 09:12
I'd actually wouldn't mind having it at 2 PM CST (3 PM EST, 12 PM PST, 8 GMT). That way after the movie, we can take a short break and then have a 2 hour retrospect show at 4:30 PM CST (5:30 PM EST, 2:30 PST, 10:30 GMT). Can everyone who will call do that instead? I've actually got it set it up like that now.
Title: Re: BATMAN - 20th Anniversary Fan Audio Commentary Recording 6/23/09
Post by: Paul (ral) on Tue, 23 Jun 2009, 09:14
No problem

so it's 4 PM CST (5 PM EST, 2 PM PST, 10 PM GMT)?

I probably can't make the audio commentary set for 2:00 pm cst , but I will try to make it for the retrospective show at 4:30.  I really would like to be part of this.   It's really a shame that today of all days I am engaged in family activities, but none the less I am going to celebrate this 20th Anniversary proudly and publicly.  I would like to know if there will be more than one commentary planned for today despite the live chat? 
Title: Re: BATMAN - 20th Anniversary Fan Audio Commentary Recording 6/23/09
Post by: Grissom on Tue, 23 Jun 2009, 16:45
I'm also doing it proudly and publicly, I told anyone who would listen to me about this anniversary and also about this website. Told my fellow bat-fans over at imdb and other movie message boards. You might actually be suprised at how many people visit this website but don't join. I've encouraged a few friends to join because they are also huge Burton Bat fans. I actually was coming to this site for over a year before I joined.

Shame on me  :-\

Looking forward to it. I watched Batman again on Saturday night after 11 pm. Talk about a great late night movie! I enjoyed it immensely once more and want to reiterate what some of the posters some time ago were saying about Jack Palance. His role was small but he was brilliant. You could tell he was an arrogant and wicked SOB, that got his due by his own number on guy.

Jack Palance is probably was and is (RIP) the only guy that could play Jack Napier's boss. A thrill ride of a film, the darn thing never gets old.

P.S. I was reciting the lines and singing "Trust" the following day to the annoyance of my family.  ;D

Palance was perfect as Grissom, Grissom.   ;D  Like you say, he was probably the only guy who could actually play Jack's boss.  He towered over him both literally and figuratively, and this part is one of the few characters who leaves such a massive impression on a film within the space of only two scenes.

P.S. I love 'Trust', so I doubt I'd have a problem hearing that song all day.   :D

Well said Johnny, in my opinion all the smaller roles left an impression on me than any other smaller roles in all the other bat-films. They were just brilliantly cast.

Exactly, although I also like a lot of the supporting characters in Batman Returns.  However, as memorable as they were they probably felt more like 'types' than real people.  The first Batman film got the balance perfect between realistic and memorable characters.

True, I think it's one of the few superhero movies that does balance the different aspects of the film out.
