Dark Knight - Howard Stern Call From Lee 7.21.08

[TheOdhisattva]

yeah Cesar Romero was cool as the Joker 

[CineRecon]

well, howard knows his comics alright

[DavidLovins67]

Great video. I loved the way the pictures were put in to correspond with the audio.

[hothotheat3000]

Michelle Pfeiffer was great as the female lead in Batman Returns.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

I disagree. "Great" would have involved Pfeiffer being naked.

On top of that, the movie sucked. Tim Burton is scarcely qualified to direct even a Pizza Hut commercial. The guy hasn't made a watchable movie since Pee Wee.

[ricko0317]

"Well we saw the Joker fuckin him" How did that comment not get a response? Well done Artie.

[yakomuto]

Wow this picture in the video reminds me of this Chechen beheading I saw once.

That can't be healthy lol

[S24995]

a lot of people don't know this but the movie A History of Violence(excellent flick) was actually based on a comic book

[presleyj1]

I was dissapointed with the female lead in Watchmen. Still liked the movie though, but nothing will live up to the graphic novel. I think even more than Daredevil, that the Punisher has seen unjust treatment.

[catfacecathead]

Both female actresses in Watchmen dragged it down. Darkman sucked.

Lee, are you gay? You are homophobic and you live in San Francisco.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Gay for broads.

"Darkman" is a classic.

[blaklodge]

Lee's one of the few dudes who knows what the fuck he's talking about. If I have to hear another thing about the Matrix, ugh...though I don't agree with the gyllenhall shit. Kirsten Dunst sucks, but Maggie ain't so bad...at least she can act

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

I'm really warming up to Kate Winslet: Good actress, nice body, gets naked a lot.

[toolkills]

blade is the shit

[jimvo]

I guess if your'e gonna talk about good female roles you have to put in Sigourney Weaver as Ripley. Sure it was not originally a comic book, she's not a superhero per se but well, Aliens have gone over to the comic book side for a long time now and Ripley kicked ass. Too bad every movie after the second one sucked balls.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Sure, Ripley falls into the category.

But to be a truly great super-heroine, the girl HAS to get naked, a la Barbarella and Pam Grier.

[tubernery]

weeell, Ripley was semi-naked as she was slipping in her spacesuit at the end of Alien. That closeup view of the extra chest movement made me go Bababoohi!

[blaklodge]

Bout time someone recognized Darkman! Fuckin awesome film and I pray they don't remake it. Oy.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Yeah, the direct-to-video sequels were bad enough.

[millerglvr]

This video was really good and I liked your conversation with Howard.

[likepolarity]

Lee, you're a funny guy.

[Ryanyarb24]

hahaha your conversation with Howard is hilarious. I was thinking the same thing, they should have casted a super hot chick for Dark Knight. There's no way Harvey Dent and Batman would fight over her...!

[bobbelheadedmidget]

I loved Blade 1 & 2..

Robocop is great.. classic

[LaynesAngryChair]

How do you feel about Robocop 2?

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Some parts are good, some parts are bad; overall I'm okay with it.

[lonebard]

Somehow you found pictures of Maggie that she actually looks HALF decent. Most of the time she has a face like a 80 year old grandma.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Oh, I'd fuck her. I just wouldn't cast her in a superhero movie (except maybe as The Penguin).

[tubernery]

Robocop is the best. Saw it when i was 12 and remember that awesome cutout board of robo with one leg stepping out of the police car.

[tubernery]

First, don't fuck with me. I'm a desperate man! And second, I want some fresh coffee. And third, I want a recount! And no matter how it turns out, I want my old job back!

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

"Let the mayor go, we'll even throw in a Blaupunkt."

[BurningLexicon]

LOL at Fred's, "Oh!" at 3:46.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

For some reason, Fred gets unusually chatty during my calls.

[strawhataddison]

excellent call! if you were a crippled midget you could get on the air everyday!

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Thanks.  I considered that: The first part is easy (baseball bat), the second I haven't figured out yet.

[jumpoutatree]

Juliette Lewis for Catwoman?

[jumpoutatree]

Maggie Gyllenhaal is beautiful, but they really made her look like shit in that movie. I think they did it on purpose, to show that the character wasn't just 'eye candy'. Someone shoulda stepped in on her behalf and fixed her hair and slapped on a little makeup. Also I think Kirsten Dunst is sexy as hell.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

I'd "throw 'em a bone", those two broads, but I never would've cast them in a superhero movie. There's so many better actresses from which to choose, in my opinion.

[forthreisch]

I agree with ya on robocop!!This stern calls are hilarious...

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

"I'd buy THAT for a dollar!"

[hothotheat3000]

I saw Dark Knight in IMAX and Maggie looked fucking HORRIBLE.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Those pig-nose nostrils of hers must've looked like the friggin' Caldecott Tunnel.

[hothotheat3000]

She looks like a bulldog. Exactly like a bulldog.

[Robbybobbybabby]

I love the way you start your calls with Howard.....telling him he's handsome :)

Maggie G ruined Batman for me. I couldn't get past her ugly face and horrible acting!!!

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Yeah, who was their FIRST choice for the female lead, Joan Cusack?

[frankfathom]

Maggie i like my chicks weird so i'm flawed that way.

batman changing his voice was distracting to mr also, I'm excited about terminator 4

X men put me to sleep, in fact anything puts me to sleep.

why not Dr. Strange or Adam Warlock movie?

[diazzz]

Good job once again. Given I enjoy superhero movies, though thats not my topic of expertise. Agree with you on Xmen being the best female casting superhero movie. Since the Carly or Candy or whatever the fuck stalker call a bunch of months ago, Lee I am your fan. I really identified with that story. Is that bad? "what am I the crazy one"

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Anyone who's ever been the target of a smear-campaign can identify with the Candy saga.

Thank you, valued fan.

[MikeMarino]

There is a terminator tv show? I didn't even know that existed... is it any good?

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

"The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (coming soon to DVD and BluRay).

Not bad.

[Kasmir25]

Is your run with Point Break Live over?

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

No. It's a juggernaut.

[Kasmir25]

What about Uma Thurman when she played "Poison Ivy" or Michelle Phifer (sp?) when she was cat woman? Who do you think played the better cat woman....her or Halle Berry? What was with batman's voice? You were right, every time he put on the suit his voice changed...it was annoying! lol  He was better in The Machinist. btw... Good job Lee!

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Answers...

Uma: well-cast; bad movie.

Pfeiffer: not enough skin shown.

Neither; Julie Newmar.

Bass synthesizer.

Haven't yet seen it.

Thanks, Amie!

[likepolarity]

I actually thought of "Tourettes Guy" whenever Bale put on the Batman voice.

[bbrad19]

Did you see the Uncut version of Robocop? It's gruesome and awesome.

[Dibrini]

Everytime I see that bald redhead guy on "ER" reruns, I can't get that picture of him as the mutant who got ran over by the dad from "That 70s Show!"

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Right. Paul McCrane and Kurtwood Smith.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Got it on laserdisc.

[kidblood1]

One of your best calls !! Howard rolled with you...great comments at the right times !!!!

[bbrad19]

Resident evil had a good female lead. I can't stand the Marvel movies but the new punisher movie looks badass, i find marvel is always toning down for the child audience which pisses me off big time and Robin making comments about things she has no idea about is also far from pleasant.

I'm psyched for Watchmen, I read the comic twice, I feel like a fucking dork for writing this but i felt the need.

Keep up the calls Lee, I heard you on sirius when I was in my car.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Yeah, but I wouldn't categorize "Resident Evil" as a superhero movie.

Agree about Robin.

Great comment.

[thatbostonchick]

Aww I like Maggie Gyllenhall. Granted, she looks more like the girl lining up to get her doctorate over being a wicked hottie, but I still liked her in the Dark Knight.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Typical 'chick response.

(Sideways winking smiley-face)

[DarkDennis1961]

I disagree about the female lead. I like Gylynahll..gilhenhall..maggie.

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

It's okay to disagree.

[paternagnstuser]

Is this Cheryl's stalker?

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Completely untrue.

...Her name is Candy.
