Now I'm confused...was it in "Batman- the Movie"? I could have sworn I
saw her leaning out of a window as the Dynamic Dou climbed past...

I haven't seen a batman wall climbing scene in ages. I seem to recall
the ropes sagging towards the building indicating the wall was actually
a floor and the camera was tilted 90 degrees.

That's true. I think the capes were held parallel to the wall with wires.

So. How do you feel about Nicole Kidman?


Very good in Moulin Rouge, but she has scary eyes... almost as scary as
Cate Blanchett's as Galadriel.

And how did they achieve false-gravity cues when they had well endowed
guest stars doing window cameos?

Ah yes, the Galadriel lights. They got that effect by reflecting a
small string of white Christmas tree lights in her eyes. Now just where
they found anything related to Christmas in Middle Earth is beyond me.

Did anyone else notice that she didn't have that light effect in her eyes
during her final scene in Return of the King when she took Bilbo, Frodo,
and Gandalf off in the ship from the Grey Havens?

I didn't find Galadriel's eyes spooky at all, and neither did Gimli.

And she looked damn good for a grandmother. Especially since she's the
the grandmother of Arwen.

Ah Arwen Evenstar!

Even giving her the fact that she's considerably younger than Galadriel,
she's FINE looking for a 2777 year old which was her age at the time of
the Lord of the Rings. Of course she was also quite a cradle robber going
after Aragorn, who was a mere lad of 87 at the time!

Now that she's left that Scientologist husband of hers, a bit better.

But I have no idea what's up with her latest beau.

There's a picture of the building set in the Batbook, obviously taken during
rehearsal as Adam West and Burt Ward are in costume but without masks and
capes, having a joke with Sammy Davis Junior, who's looking (upwards) out of
the window.

The capes weren't the only things being held parallel to the wall with
wires?

You don't find someone who turns into a armor-wearing shadow while
starting a windstorm and looking at you with glowing eyes a bit
disconcerting? This is not my idea of a fun date!
Stay FAR away from this babe; she snaps her fingers and you may that
find her conception of "well hung" involves a elven rope suspending you
by the family Silmarills from a Mallorn Tree.
She was a little scary in the books; she was a lot scary in the movies.
Even in that last scene she's looking at you and smiling, and you don't
have a CLUE as to what she's thinking by looking at her face.
I don't know which is scarier; Kate Blanchett as Galadriel in
"Fellowship" or Kathy Valentine as a Go-Go in "Ballbusting with the
Go-Go's" but I wouldn't want either of them around after I had a few too
many Quaaludes.

Liv is a lot less scary than Cate, although from the interviews I've
seen with her, I get the feeling that that some fairly unusual chemicals
have gone down the hatch- and up into the command center- in her case;
you can almost see the fairies hovering around her as she
speaks...no...not Ian McKellen.... :-)

Do the pulp magazines like Saga, True, and Argosy even exist any more?
They combined articles on war, women and dangerous animals with racy,
but topless at most, pictures of women and a strong right-wing
bent...

Haven't seen any of them in a long time... But as of the last few years,
there are a scattering of new magazines which seem to be the inheritors of
the pre-Playboy/Penthouse men's magazines: scantily-dressed babe on the
cover -- magazine covers are basically advertising(*) -- but contents
mostly text, with relatively few pages of photos and no actual nudity or
even toplessness. Haven't paid enough attention to them to establish
their political leanings, if any.

(* Many years ago, the letter column of one of the radio magazines was
asked: "Why do you keep finding excuses to put attractive young women on
the cover?". The answer: "Because we consistently sell more copies that
way, which lets us (a) have more pages of technical content, and (b) get
better technical content by paying our contributors more. As long as it
keeps having that effect, we will keep doing it.")
