From “The Drowning Pool”:
J.H. Kilbourne: You know what she wants to do with that land, Mr. Harper? She wants to turn it into a Goddam sanctuary for birds!
Lew Harper: I think that’s kind of sweet.
J.H. Kilbourne: Well now, look, I’m all for saving wildlife like the next fella, but we gotta think about America’s future. Energy sources just aren’t that easy to come by.
Lew Harper: Aha! Did you come to that conclusion out of patriotism or just greed?
J.H. Kilbourne: [after a pause] Little of both, Mr Harper, - like most men of wealth.
When “Batman” came out it was like nothing we had ever seen.
Also the music was just incredible. Simple but great.
My father did a lot of the underscoring(music)for”Batman”!The great Neil Hefti wrote the theme.It must have taken him all of 5-minutes?
RIP.
Although I have a few qualms about the old “Batman” tv-series (the self-conscious humor, which was once refreshing, has worn a bit thin over time, as pop-culture as a whole has become totally saturated in that brand of reflexivity/self-awareness to the point of torpor-inducing tiresomeness), I’ll still easily take it over any of the later “Batman” offerings.
I always remember Semple’s name in the credits.
Batman and Wonder Woman come on tonight on METV. Wonder Woman gets a little boring at times but I had forgotten just how hot Linda Carter was.
It was a bit funny at some of the messages WW sent out. One was that women could always beat men. Women were always smarter than men. Women were always nicer than men.
Now that I think about it, it was the same as most shows today.
Holy Mortuary Batman!
I would have liked ‘Three Days of the Condor’ better if they hadn’t lost three days.
The book was called ‘Six Days of the Condor’.
If he had anything to do with selecting Julie Newmar to wear that Catwoman suit, he should be canonized.
