I still wish there hadn't been a second one. Well, at least I wish I hadn't seen it.

Only if they do it in 3-D and Bill Hader plays the ultimate villain: Egghead.
Also, saying Christian Bale is dull is redundant.

I love the idea of a movie based on a cereal.
I vote for Count Chocula! You can get all the vampire fans into that too.
Other inspirations for films:
Mr. Clean: His story. Sexy. Dangerous. No germs. No nonsense.
Monopoly: The Movie --- starring Jack Black as Mr. Monopoly (with Debbie Shapiro singing her classic theme song parody)
Tupperware Party Massacre - '50s sensibility meets Michael Meyers
Correspondence Art School Musical! --- All singing, all dancing, First Class postage required.
Shake and Bake - no, not the chicken's best friend. This one's about a major earthquake during a heat wave in Southern California. Of course they're all eating fried faux baked chicken when it hits!
And finally - iPod, tHe mOvie! You can put the plot on "shuffle" and the story comes out different every time!

Mr. Clean? I like it. Michael Cerveris could star in the Broadway incarnation.

They've raised the bar pretty high for a third Nolanized BATMAN film. I don't see how it could possibly be anything other than a disappointment. What villain could possibly follow Ledger's Joker?
And I'm one who didn't think DARK KNIGHT was any good at all, except as a vehicle for three very fine performances: Eckhart, Oldman, and Ledger's sublime Joker.
My vote: no more, please.
Economics being what they are, I'm sure there will be. I doubt I'll go see it, unless there's compelling reason to do so, like a villain who matches Ledger's performance. Ha. Yeah. Right.

There's already several Ouija board movies out there...I wonder how different this one will be from all the rest.

Dakota Fanning: "And I helped!"
Will Smith: "That you did, Little Gap-Tooth. That you did."
Long shot of Dakota Fanning and Will Smith holding uzis among a sea of bloody corpses as far as the eye can see. Smog hangs in the air and smoke is seen slowly rising amongst the ruins of Los Angeles.
Fade out.
Cue John Williams choral music.
Roll credits.

Discounting the 60's version but including the other 4 starting with Tim Burton's, there have actually been 6 Batman movies. There have also been 2 cliffhanger serials but that is something else altogether.
I say why not to a 7 th.

"I'm not fine with them splitting the last Potter book into two films and milking it. I'm fine with the Chronicles of Narnia movies, though, based on each of the books. "
I for one am glad that they are splitting the last Potter book into two movies. There's no way they could do an adequate job adapting that one into a two hour film without butchering it somehow. They should've have done the same for Goblet of Fire.

"[Gore] was widely perceived as arrogant. If you know something, you're not smart. You're a smarty-pants. It's annoying. People get annoyed with your knowledge. It goes back to high school, to not doing your homework ... 'There's something I should know, I don't know why I should know it but someone knows it and I don't. So I'm going to have to make fun of him now.'"
