Night of the living dead. Early Edition, including the first name of Lucius. Any more? ---

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the Batmobile being pursued by an insane number of cop cars was very similar to the chase scene in _The Blues Brothers_, where the boys sped down the same location before crashing through the mall. (After Elwood traded off the “Bluesmobile,” alas.) And it’s not a movie _yet_, but when [_A Scanner Darkly_](http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1808626786) comes out this winter, a lot of people will recognize a certain blue flower with unusual properties. ---

(After Elwood traded off the “Bluesmobile,” alas.) I thought the exact same thing when I saw it. The people I watched it with didn’t seem to notice until I said “This mall has everything!” ---

Wasn’t there a spectacular subway car crash at the end of “Speed”? And yeah, I thought of the Blues Brothers too during the Batmobile chase. ---

I don’t know why, but Morgan Freeman’s character in the film reminded me a lot of his character in _Se7en_, and I think that it would have been pretty cool if they’d some how implied that it _was_ the same character. ---

The Scarecrow needs to have blonde hair. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Night of the living dead. > > Early Edition, including the first name of Lucius. > > Any more? What does this mean? Is the question: “Did you notice any similarities between scenes in Batman Begins and other movies?” If that’s the question, my answer is: “every movie has scenes that reminds me of other movies.” The pad in the Himalayas looked like Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle. Ace Ventura. About 3 billion other movies. The car chase looked like 8 million other car chases. Runaway subway trains? You want a list? Runaway Train. Spiderman 2. Speed. Dangling off a cliff? Cliffhanger. Ace Ventura. The weapons room looked like a bad James Bond movie. I mainly thought Batman Begins STUNK. If you have a screenplay that shitty, why even get Christopher Nolan? They should have had Michael Bay direct that lump.
