"Is it the cartoon version?" That was an excerpt from the Life's Too Short Easter special. The show itself is written by Ricky Gervais and one season in (I'm not even sure it's getting a second?) it's really only sporadically funny to be honest, but this episode is definitely worth tracking down in full. Kilmer is looking pretty good too - am I the only one who'd actually kinda like to see that Willow sequel for real? Oh, okay then..

Val's definitely lost some weight. But is it just me or does he always appear stoned now. I know he's quite a fan of the bud, but he's giving Jeff Bridges, James Franco and Snoop Dog a run for their money. Funny stuff stuff though. Great show.

I guess I just don't get British Humor. Only stuff comedy wise I can stand is IT Crowd and Spaced.

I don't get British humor.

mkilban2 - 4/9/2013, 5:18 PM

wow what a hideous woman.

SageMode - 4/9/2013, 5:20 PM

If given a proper script and tone, Val Kilmer could've been the best live action Batman, but...........

MarkCassidy - 4/9/2013, 5:23 PM

lol, there was nothing uniquely British about that! I think you mean "I don't get humor":)

Emjeed - 4/9/2013, 5:25 PM

Damn! Val kilmer lost weight

Nick56 - 4/9/2013, 5:28 PM

@ TheGambitFreakIsBatmanOfCBM

marvel72 - 4/9/2013, 5:35 PM

marvel72 - 4/9/2013, 5:37 PM

@ MARVELPSYCHO79

did you watch wrestlemania it was a bit disappointing a couple of good matches.

the next night on raw that crowd made that show better than wrestlemania.

MarkCassidy - 4/9/2013, 5:39 PM

Grif, nah NOTHING is as funny as that..

Tony93 - 4/9/2013, 5:55 PM

Oh yes.. great nostalgia of my childhood..
I loved this movie

D117 - 4/9/2013, 5:55 PM

Lmfaoo too funny, especially that Liam Neeson one.

marvel72 - 4/9/2013, 5:56 PM

@ MARVELPSYCHO79

the last three matches & the tag team championship were the best matches.

raw was really good booing the faces & cheering the heels,some the chants "sexual chocolate" & "fandango's theme" classic.

i also liked when cena was talking about doing a little dance & maybe doing a "heel turn",the crowd loved that.

This is actually pretty funny. Sadly though, it's more like Fat Man... :-S

I still think Batman Forever was pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but definitely better than the film that came before it and the film that came after...

NeoBaggins - 4/9/2013, 6:49 PM

Kilmer looked the best in the suit out of all the Burton Shoemaker films. And was definitely Bruce Wayne over the debacles before him.

Azrael725 - 4/9/2013, 7:13 PM

I actually thought Val Kilmer looked the best in the suit and he was a pretty good Bruce Wayne. I think he could've been a good Batman too if it weren't for Shoemacher.
This was a pretty funny bit. Batman Forever was the first Batman movie I ever saw and owned. I have home video of me getting it for Christmas on VHS haha

thingrock4 - 4/9/2013, 7:35 PM

Love Val Kilmer. AWESOME.

NeoBaggins - 4/9/2013, 7:36 PM

BritishMonkey - 4/9/2013, 7:53 PM

Yeah, that was funny.

BIGBMH - 4/9/2013, 7:58 PM

Haha! He's a good sport!

SpideyQuad - 4/9/2013, 8:07 PM

Sorry, you may have liked the movies but cancer throat Batman was not the best. That guy that fought the Predator in that 5 minute short was a much better Batman than cancer throat.
