Batman Freaky Femme Fatales - A Thought

(I made a post about this on my side tumblr and then deleted it without properly copying it so I could post it here.)

But one thing I will probably never see but really like is if there was a Batman movie where the Femme Fatales are sexy but also really FREAKY.

And by FREAKY I mean the freaky awesomeness of Danny De Vito's grotesque yet memorable version of the Penguin. The makeup, the sewers, the actual penguins, the live fish, the Biting of Noses!!

Don't get me wrong, the 80s/90s Batman movies had their faults. But I will never forget Michelle Pfeiffer's Selena Kyle lying dead and twitching as cats lick and bite on her bloody, lifeless fingers.

Let's take this freaky energy and go even FARTHER.

What if Selena Kyle was always the Weird Cat Lady of the apartment complex (they think it's strange for a lady her age but at least the rats are finally gone). What if her fellow tenants don't bat an eye at 50 cats visiting her apartment window the night of her transformation? But what they don't see is Selena in an eye-less trance shoveling raw fish into her mouth a la Tom Hardy in Venom.

What if Catwoman looks like a slinky Leather Dominatrix from afar, or even up close. But her victims don't just get whiplashes and scratches, they also have jugular bites from canine teeth that would put Dracula to shame?

Imagine Batman has his first fight with her and discovers that her teeth are sharp as razors, and they glisten when she grins in the moonlight. He watches her claws grow and retract because, surprise, they are her actual Fingernails!

What if Bruce Wayne struggles to kiss his girlfriend Selena because he secretly witnessed Catwoman catch a live rat with that same mouth? What if Selena secretly hopes that Bruce Wayne sleeps upside-down and eats moths for an evening snack?

What if Poison Ivy was Literally a Cryptid? What if she is the patron saint of Gotham City's most Rejected Creatures. Rats, pigeons, ravens, flies, and cockroaches visit her in swarms when they discover this new source of sustenance. They are starving, she feeds them, she eats them.

What if she is a Venus-human-trap? She looks like a forest nymph, she lures you into a false sense of security. Then the instant you are no longer useful or friendly to her, she becomes something Different. She becomes something Else. You are shrieking and crying and begging for mercy as she feeds your flesh to her Unfathomable Self.

What if Batman and Alfred, when discussing strategies to take on Poison Ivy, have to recall their understanding of Lovecraftian themes? What if Batman has the same kind of harrowing battle as a protagonist in a Junji Ito story? What if Batman has to stop Poison Ivy not only to save Gotham but also because he knows every time she allows her Ego to die it lasts a little longer than before?

Long story short, I really would love someone to make a version of Batman femme Fatales to be just a little more off, maybe just a little more strange than they usually are.

Because I promise, they will still be quite sexy, at least to me.

(Post Script: In this scenario, Batman is NOT a creature. I think it's funny if he is just a Human-Man with Human-Man training and this surprises EVERYONE he fights.)

Quand Danny DeVito a sauvé "Matilda"

Danny DeVito et Rhea Perlman étaient les méchants dans le film "Matilda", mais derrière les écrans, ils étaient en train de sauver la vie de la petite protagoniste. Mara Wilson réalisait son rêve de devenir actrice, mais au même moment, sa mère était en train de rendre l’âme à cause d'une terrible maladie... Heureusement, Danny DeVito allait tout faire pour leur offrir une fin heureuse 15 octobre 2022

Critiche che hanno 20 anni: ANYTHING ELSE

Critiche che hanno 20 anni: ANYTHING ELSE

ANYTHING ELSE di Woody Allen con Woody Allen, Jason Biggs, Christina Ricci, Danny De Vito C’è qualcosa di stonato nella cinematografia recente di Woody Allen. Il suo modo di fare cinema, che una volta era il vanto e il segno inconfondibile del grande regista newyorkese, da qualche tempo a questa parte, si è trasformato nella sua immagine sbiadita e le nevrosi, i tormenti e le battute tipicamente…

Taxi:

Everyone else call Jim Ignatowski as 'Jim'. Was Louie de Palma the only person that ever calls him with the nickname 'Iggy' on a daily basis?

I find that endearing. ❤️

Gros Big Up

A tous les gens qui m'ont envoyé des messages de soutien et d'amitié ces dernières semaines, je voulais vous dire à quel point j'ai été touchée ; votre sollicitude m'a énormément aidée à tenir le coup, et comme disait Goldman : "Çà restera comme une lumière / Qui me tiendra chaud dans mes hivers / Un petit feu de toi qui s'éteint pas".

Special thanx to :

@ Caleb qui me dit "C'est ta saison en enfer" => Tu sais ce qu'on dit, Cal : quand on traverse l'enfer, il faut avancer et ne jamais se retourner.

@ tout le Forum des Joyeux Astrologues 🥳 => C'est Pluton qui débarque en Verseau !!

@ AstroLab du même forum, qui a trouvé pourquoi çà coince : "Le brouillard que tu décris, c'est le transit de Neptune en Poissons, donc pile en opposition de ton ascendant Vierge" => (wave, wave) AstroLab, je confirme que mon asc Vierge, pétochard & pointilleux, vit assez mal le transit de Neptune

en revanche le Verseau en moi (en mode YOLO / toujours partant pour la déconne / j'ai un sérieux problème d'adrénaline) se marre plutôt depuis le début de l'histoire.

(mais ce même Verseau trouvait vachement fun de traverser les Tarterêts en vélo à 2h du matin)

En tout cas, çà pourrait expliquer cette alternance - inhabituelle pour moi et usante à la longue - d'optimisme effronté et de doute abyssal.

@ Daisy qui me conseille de consommer du sexe "prophylactique" avec mon collègue, pour me remettre d'aplomb => Très chère, je suis Parisienne comme le PSG, et tu connais la devise de la Parisienne : Un peu de shopping et tout ira mieux...

@ Laura qui me demande ce que je vais faire maintenant => Merci pour tes mails et toutes tes bonnes ondes Laura ; je vais essayer de reprendre ma vie où je l'ai laissée l'été dernier, dans la confiance, la gaieté et l'optimisme. Cette vie-là est peut-être toute miteuse, indigne de Sexy, mais au moins, je n'y suis le pion de personne : ni de mes propres émotions, ni de l'attention / du mépris des autres. I got rythm, I got music, I got my car, who could ask for anything more ?

@ Denis qui m'adjure de "sublimer mon agressivité naturelle" => Denis, tu sais à quel point j'aime les donneurs de leçons, mais pour une fois je suis d'accord avec toi : sur ma gratification de stage, je vais peut-être réussir à débloquer une ligne pour m'offrir des cours de tir sportif, à la rentrée. Histoire d'apprendre �� mieux viser, la prochaine fois - figurativement parlant, bien sûr...

@ Yéti qui appuie sur le buzzer une fois de plus : "Sexy, c'est Alain Corbin, en vrai ?" =>

Tu m'as bien fait rire cette fois, mais à un moment, il va falloir arrêter de me proposer des noms tous les 15 jours.

@ Médoc qui me dit "Assez de clichés, tous les hommes mûrs et puissants ne cherchent pas à "se taper" comme tu dis des jeunesses de 25 ans" => Médoc, je ne sais pas dans quel univers parallèle tu vis, mais je veux bien que tu me donnes l'adresse.
