| I read it in AP English in high school. Recently I read it again (didn't really know I was re-reading it, but I found my actual high school paperback copy). I had all sorts of notes in the margins I don't remember making. And I didn't remember the plot -- all I remembered was her being in bed and... |

| I also was confused by what you said I thought you specifically meant to set the new movie in the Nolan verse during the short time period when he was still fighting crime, because that's basically what you said. I don't care to quibble. The point is ignore that he retired in the last movie, re-... |

| My hope is that they would do a period piece with one of these characters from the blacksploitation era. Luke Cage, Black Lightning... But I'm guessing that they'll all be updated. That Spectre animated short set in the 70's was perfect. They should capture the feel of that with an unspecified p... |

| They should just go with the Val Kilmer approach -- recast him, but no reboot. Just keep on running, telling stories during the time period when he was still fighting crime. People will get it. I'd prefer a soft reboot. There really wasn't enough of a time period of intensive crime fighting with... |

| To defend Li'l Jay a bit, my Dad was a lawyer and though he was cheap he did spend money on his shoes. He, also, had them re-soled often. Also, he got his suits custom altered because they had it last since he wore them just about everyday. When you're a lawyer, and you go to court in front of ju... |

Well who knows? The Danish women may have big fat heels.
But I wear Ecco Seattle's because they are just about the only slip-on I can comfortably wear. (Loafers and slip-ons are a problem for we of the narrow heel and low instep. ) |

Mine are. One of the reasons I pull the trigger on shoes is that when I find a pair that fits my foot really well, I don't mind paying.
But this problem has been largely solved by Ecco -- apparently the Danes have feet like mine. |
