I don’t think I’ve seen this movie in ages, so this could be an interesting watch.

Fun fact, this was the movie that pretty much made Sean Connery retire from acting.

[Bar-El]

I read that on the wiki! It’s a shame since it’s really marketed as a Sean Connery movie first! I’ve actually never seen this one so I’m super excited!

[iJest]

I saw this in theaters in 2003 and never knew it was DC related at all!

[toonatonian]

Wonder if I can fit this in today? I have the movie & haven’t watched it yet…

[Bar-El]

I hope you can! It will be my first time seeing it too!

[Bar-El]

30 minutes till show time!

[GetSnart]

Oh crap. I might miss this. This is really cool though, gotta remember to read this thread next time I watch the movie.

[Bar-El]

I do the same thing! I have so many old WALs bookmarked it’s not even funny!

[GetSnart]

Yeah. It’s a whole other experience watching a movie with commentary.

[AlexanderKnox]

It’s been a while since I’ve watched this film…

[Bar-El]

Welcome @AlexanderKnox!

[Bar-El]

Press play!

[AlexanderKnox]

20th Century Fox brings you Alan Moore’s favorite film of all time.

[Bar-El]

And Sean Connery’s

[Bar-El]

Run away!

[AlexanderKnox]

This film is from the director of Blade, which is a film I like quite a bit.

[Bar-El]

Another one I need to watch!

[Bar-El]

Is Batman in there?

[AlexanderKnox]

I’m waiting for one of the newspaper gags from Airplane.
