    I'm still using a couple of ROTJ glasses from 1983!

    Put me off Burger King for a while, let me tell you. Even in college, there's only so many of those babies you can stomach.

    I wish I still had my Jabba glass!

    Also I got an awesome, large 7-11 R2 cup with a big straw that I always wanted to turn into a bong. But I sold it on eBay instead.

    I just broke a Lord Krug Star Trek 3 glass the other day when my hand slipped and I hit it with a knife. Way to rub it in.

    There really is nothing like a good collectible glass and puny or not I've got the whole collection from the last film because A: they're glass not crummy plastic and B: it's the closest I'll come to licking Zoe Saldana.

    My favorite cups are a set of Great Muppet Caper collector glasses, with those hilariously awful Batman Forever cups in a close second-place. I will never throw those away.

    @korybing: Why didn't they make a glass out of Drew Barrymore's character from that movie? Or was she on the back of Two-Face's glass? I lost mine so long ago... which is upsetting. Chocolate milk sounds nice...

    The Best Glasses were the first Muppets Movie (!) ones. The glass they used was thick enough to last. My parents still have them some 30 years later.

    In reply to Batmania - The Sequels
    I will say that both the soundtracks from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin are QUITE good and I still have them both on cassette tape. The Smashing Pumpkins song (used in the Watchman trailer) is still a damn great song as well as the U2 song from Batman Forever.


    But I remember at the time being particularly pissy at the post-Spice Girls crappy faux feminism "girl power" tacked onto Batgirl in B&R. Although a re-watching of Batman Returns (which I used to love dearly) had me cringing at some similar lines Catwoman says at the end.


    One day, oh one day... there will be a Catwoman on screen and people will talk about something OTHER than how hot she looked in the suit. Hell, I hope if Nolan does it (please, please) he askews the catsuit and has her wear something sensible if for no other reason than avoiding such cheap remarks.

    @Sunshineyness: "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" is one of U2's absolute finest non-album tracks (maybe the finest? I'm too sleepy to work it out, but it's close), and the whole rest of the Batman Forever soundtrack is pretty remarkable, too: PJ Harvey, Method Man, Massive Attack, Sunny Day Real Estate, Mazzy Star -- the songs aren't amazing, but the fact that all these artists were featured together on a comic-book-movie soundtrack is a telling statement about what a great time for music the mid-'90s were.

    Bats Returns is a much better movie than the first. The characters seem more human.


    Despite all the opprobrium heaped upon B&R, I still maintain that Clooney is the best Bruce Wayne ever. He really fit the part, and I loved his scenes with Alfred.
