"It's amazing to think that I was still playing with Scholesy twenty-five years later. I can't say we clicked straight away, but we became great mates."

Now pre season is done and dusted, transfer all done and I must say I am happy with the business we have done even tho I am still looking for the future, the start of the season is here.

The Wednesday before the season kicks off,…

Hear me out: Charles did sports in high school in the comics so imagine that man being able to be a pro athlete. Olympic level and such but he has really bad asthma too. Sometimes it comes hours after training/competition and others it just randomly happens. And it confuses people how this pro-Olympic athlete has severe asthma and no one knows what triggers it at all

Merry Batman Forever 30th anniversary. To celebrate here is an essay I wrote about the film for literally no reason a year ago.

Lights, Camera, Boiling Acid…?

Picture it: a boring day in June of 1995. Since the modern cell phone hasn't been invented, and movie ticket prices haven't skyrocketed yet, you think it is the perfect opportunity to see the summer's biggest blockbuster. Tim Burton's Batman movies were so successful and fun, surely this Schumacher guy won't mess it up. You go into the theater, sit down, and the best worst movie plays out before your eyes. You sit through the full 122 minutes of the film, stunned. The credits roll, and while Seals A Kiss From a Rose plays, you contemplate, "What the fuck.”

This is the view of many Batman fans during opening weekend of Batman Forever, as audiences rolled into and promptly back out of theaters across the country. As this film is approaching its 30th anniversary, there is a question on where it stands in modern pop culture. Apart from the occasional reference in other batman media, Batman Forever has been largely ignored, despite the masterpiece it truly is. Its dismissal from popular culture, and clearly campy elements, are why I propose that Batman Forever should be regarded with the campy Cult Classic reputation it deserves.

One of the most important things we must ask ourselves as the audience is: "What qualifies as a campy movie?” Vocabulary.com defines camp as “something that has a ridiculous, wacky appeal.” Examples of classic campy movies include the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Barbarella, Army of Darkness, and Little Shop of Horrors. These films speak to core camp elements such as silly-factor, loud and exaggerated costumes and sets, and certain over the top choices within the script. Now that we have a definition of campy, we must analyze Batman Forever for what makes it truly "camp.”

The first aspect of this film's camp is its cast, as it must be noted that this film is star studded. With Val Kilmer emerging as Batman, and with Nicole Kidman as his love interest, Dr. Chase Meridian, we start off strong with two popular stars who bring the more serious section of the story. Chris O'Donnel is introduced as Robin, and despite being a bit too old to pass as a teen in need of guidance, he provides the edgy and disruptive “young” behavior to be a narrative foil to Bruce Wayne as the mature adult. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum we have Jim Carrey as the Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face. These two actors struggling to upstage each other, along with the fact that every background actor says their lines with the gusto of a theater kid, creates a strange cast of people who outdo every performance in a way that makes you question whether or not this film is terrific or terrible.

The costumes are the next point, as Batman and Robin (not the movie) fit in as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, their alter egos have one key feature keeping them from the realm of normal: nipples. Designed after ancient statues, Schumacher made a strange decision in adding nipples to these suits, and while this may have entranced audiences, it was most certainly not the strangest part of this film's outfits. From Two-Face's bifurcated wardrobe, to skin tight green spandex, the villains present an ever changing rotation of outfits that make audiences gasp, out of happiness or shock? Who's to say. Two-Face and The Riddler both have several costumes, though remain true to bright, eccentric, and jarring.

The sets also add to the wacky and out-there aspect of this film. The shots of outer Gotham make it appear to be a nightclub or rave, with neon colors and statues flushed with bright lighting. There is also Two-Face's lair, which is split straight down the middle, and is described as “heavy metal meets house and garden.” Two-Face also keeps his henchwomen/girlfriends, Sugar and Spice, in his lair, serving him questionable meals and sassy glances. One of the other most notable sets is the Riddlers Claw Island, which is full of spinning question mark lights and a rotating throne, for only the grandest of entrances. The key point to both the costumes and set design of the film is simply the word Loud, as every aspect screams in your face with how there it is.

The last point making this film campy is the plot. What this movie, along with many other campy movies, lacks in a plot, it makes up for it with its ever streaming flood of random excitement. The real plot to this film is simply "the villains try to kill batman,” and while this is common in most superhero movies, so much is happening all at once from scenes changing and bad puns being made, that by the end of the film you suddenly come out of the fever dream and think "wait, what happened?” While this may make audiences question if this is a good film, it most certainly proves the fact that it is full of entertainment and blinding lights, key necessities to a campy cult classic.

Now that all of the key points have been laid out, it is clear that Batman Forever has camp, and with its age it becomes obvious that it is deserving of a cult following. Despite its high budget and superhero movie status, Batman Forever holds a 41% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I did not come here to argue that this movie is in any way good. Most every piece of media will garner a few weird teenagers to become obsessive over it, as even this film has developed a following on sections of the internet, such as tumblr. Due to its out there and loud costumes, set pieces, script, and very passionate cast, I believe Batman Forever is a film that deserves more recognition as a cult classic for its indescribably silly and campy nature. Thank you for reading :]

How to improve the team to stay in the championship

Favourite for the drop, I needed to boost the squad to stay in the championship. Me and the scouting team had to pick up players to replace players like Ibou, Lingard and Pogba. And with the chairman willing to put his money where his mouth is, with the backing of the class of 92, it’s time to work. Ryan Giggs walked into our meeting room with one hell of a smile on his face, everyone looked at…
