Ice Princess from Batman Returns (1992) played by Cristi Conaway, who went on to play Claire Hemmings, the second lead on the 1997 Sci-Fi TimeCop series.    Writer Daniel Waters did the Ice Princess dirty. For starters, she doesn’t have a name. Then he wrote her as being confused by the cause and effect of turning on a light. And then lastly, after being betrayed by Catwoman, Batman watches without action as she falls to her death. This isn’t the Batman or Catwoman we see 6 months later in The Batman Animated Series. There’s just no fucking way that Catwoman would evertake an active role in a woman’s death as a meaningless pawn in the fight between two men. And Batman is always using his grappling gun to swing and save lives. But this is years before Hollywood embraced Hong Kong’s wire work. And that fucking armored Batsuit is not bendable in a swinging through the air kind of way. David Lee Roth swung sideways in a music video some years before, but not wearing armor. If I remember correctly, Batman only moves directly up and down in this series of Batman movies. But also Daniel Waters sucks. His credits are Heathers 1989, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane 1990, Hudson Hawk 1991, Batman Returns 1992, Demolition Man 1993. People may like or love any of these movies, but it is in spite of the writing, not because of it.    The Ice Princess was written as dumb so the audience wouldn’t feel bad about Batman making no effort to save her life. Daniel Waters has Batman making the decision that No Humans Were Involved.    Batman Returns is available on the DC Universe streaming service and will be on the HBOMax streaming service.        #CristiConaway #IcePrincess #BatmanReturns #Batman #TimBurton #DCUniverse #HBOMax #NHI #NoHumanInvolved #Catwoman #cartoons #cartooncharacters #Penguin #ThePenguin #Heathers #DemolitionMan #HudsonHawk #AdventuresofFordFairlane #comics #dcccomics #DanielWaters #TimeCop #DavidLeeRoth #DavidLeeRothJustLikeParadise #JustLikeParadise     (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hJyEIhYwu/?igshid=60mzaawm31wp

Makin’ manual magic

Last Monday I stumbled upon a Facebook marketplace listing of 24 NES manuals and thumbing through the listing photos I saw 6 or so that I didn’t have in a lot of what I though was a dozen.  Each pic showed 6 manuals and in my haste I only clicked through to the 2nd picture.  Little did I know that there were twice as many manuals and another 2 I didn’t have.

It wasn’t until after I contacted the seller that I realized that I would be getting 2x as many booklets.  Not a moment or two after I reached out the listing was removed and I didn’t even get a chance to commit to memory which items the lot contained so I asked if the pictures from the listing could be sent to me.  The seller was nice enough to forward them on.

It was an absolute bonus that the 8 manuals I needed from the lot were, at least according to my calculations, worth as much as I was paying for the whole lot.  The other 16 were perfect for trades down the road.  I think with the exception of about 2 all of the others were upgrades as well.  All in all the $60 investment (shipping included) was a good one.  

The seller was awesome!  He kept in touch the whole time to ensure the manuals reached me safely and curated them beautifully in plastic covers.  After 30+ years these books looked as glossy and crisp as the day they were released (with one small exception:  someone had cut off the head of one of the characters on the cover of the G.I. Joe pamphlet). These are some of the nicest manuals in my collection by far. 

By virtue of this transaction I added the following books to my binder:  Castle of Dragon, G.I. Joe: the Atlantis Factor, Darkman, Hudson Hawk, Kickle Cubicle, Toki, Trojan and Qix.  

Manuals:  461

Hudson Hawk an extremely underestimated comedy. Kit Kat, my favorite character from the film, expresses how I feel.

Truth!

Hudson Hawk 1991 Action/Comedy Hudson Hawk Bruce Willis is a just released from prison world-famous cat burglar who just wants a cappuccino. But his plans to acquire the frothy beverage are constantly thwarted by other peoples plans for him and his infamous talents. Soon he stumbles down the rabbit hole of burglary again at the behest of Darwin Mayflower (Richard E Grant) and his mildly unhinged wife Minerva (Sandra Bernhardt), pulling a series of heists to gather several high profile works of Leonardo da Vinci. Mayflower’s goal? To use alchemy to bring the worlds economies to its knees. While the film is action oriented, it lean heavily on puns, slapstick humor, and Bruce Willis‘s natural charisma. A complete box office flop, having made only $17 million on a $65 million budget, Hudson Hawk is still a bit of a diamond in the rough for Willis‘s film catalog. And showcased his natural ability to deliver one line catchphrases, that would be used in some of his better movies later in his career.
