There was a time when not every movie was based on a comic book, when movies didn’t have years of hype leading up to their release. I remember being a kid and scanning the newspaper for new movies. You never knew what you’d find.
Sadly, I can’t find any trace of this movie online. Like many lost films of the past, it’s as if it never existed.
The Batcave I didn’t quite visit is actually Bronson Cave, and it’s been a popular site to film things for over a century. Besides being the Batcave from the 1966 series, it’s also been:
Oh, and The Doors visited.
Here’s a video that breaks down a bunch of things filmed at Bronson Cave.
I also make fun of two probably-perfectly-acceptable movies. I guess I should put their trailers in as well.
And now I hear you complaining that you don’t get the title of this post. Surely you haven’t forgotten Then Came Bronson, a series that ran for one season in 1969!
Is it bad that I kind of want this?
Note: “Classic” posts are just me moving some old stuff from static HTML pages to WordPress blog posts. “Classic” does not mean good.

Fancy Rat
From the Petco flyer that came in the mail yesterday. What makes it a “fancy rat?” Does it dress up? Does it create intricate, delicate patterns with its droppings? And if it is so damn fancy, why does it only cost four bucks?

More Rats, Star Wars
My pal Ty gave me the lowdown on “fancy rats”- they’re just rats with colored markings. Apparently, “standard rats” are all gray or all brown, which I guess is the rat equivalent of walking around in your sweats all day.
I realized something last night: Qui Gon is a bad man, an idiot, or both. He doesn’t heed the advice of his superiors, he steals blood, he lies about “his” ship and pod racer, he risks the life of a little boy to suit his needs, he brings the highly useless amphibian JarJar into the middle of a desert… and he’s the master & Obi-Wan is the trainee? That’s sort of like the manager at McDonald’s starting that Emiril guy from Food TV out on the fry machine.
