Yeah, it gives the love scene in Top Gun a real run for its money.
I think what Bruce meant by that line was that he felt like he was more in love with Chase than he ever was with Vicki or Selina. People often times refer to past love interests as mere flings or crushes once they've found a new partner in life that they find themselves connecting with much more (though personally, I think Keaton and Basinger had the best romantic chemistry out of all the Batman films). Love tends to change based on what a person currently needs in their life. I think Bruce just had a bigger Batarang sticking out his belt for Chase than those other two (it's Nicole Kidman, what do you expect?).
"He had to be feelin' something..."
No, he just took the film.
I liked the show just fine but I'm with you in that I have no idea why it's the major geek culture touchstone it is today. It's an above-average, decent show at best, but by no means is it some lost gem or one of the best sci-fi shows ever produced.
He's your typical Hollywood director-for-hire. Competent and reliable enough to churn in a profitable film, but largely lacking in any real talent or vision. In hindsight, he's probably my pick for the weakest Harry Potter director. Columbus did a fair job planting the seeds, Cuaron upped the quality of the series to all new heights, Newell did a competent job continuing the story (if not adapting the book), and then Yates came along and did the poorest job of them all (with the exception of the first Deathly Hallows).
"Pop culture also has an incredibly short memory. Spider-man had the upside-down rain kiss, but is anybody still talking about it?"
It's still a way more iconic moment than what any of the X-Men films had to offer. Anytime someone thinks of a great, memorable romance scene from a superhero movie, that one virtually always gets brought up. The Quicksilver stuff in Days of Future Past was talked about for a year and then never again.
Yeah, once they saw Spidey fight Doc Ock on the train in Spider-Man 2, everyone probably forgot all about Nightcrawler's scene.
Probably not, unfortunately, as adultery is one of the few crimes celebrities are always relieved of taking blame for. Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, and Clint Eastwood were all notorious womanizers, yet no one seems to care enough about who they stick their dick into to not see their movies. If we want to get this asshat cancelled, we're going to need to find something he did that's far worse than banging some hoe who ain't his wife.
Wouldn't surprise me. A lot of showboaty male feminists out there are secretly pigs themselves who will jump at any chance they have to stick their dick in a woman's vagina. Joss Whedon, anyone?
What did you expect? The whole movie was built on cliches (absentee father, rebellious youth with abandonment issues, evil A.I. trying to break into the real world etc). I'm not that crazy about the original Tron either, but at least that one was imaginative and unique for its time. This was just another derivative, cookie-cutter sci-fi actioner that lifted its ideas from every major blockbuster in the past 20 years (Star Trek '09, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings etc).
Where will you find a 20-something college kid to jump in and join the fun?

You gotta understand that the ending Tarantino originally penned was very different from the one in the final film. In the original script, Clarence gets shot and killed, and Alabama spends the rest of her life on the run as a criminal (which was previously referenced in Reservoir Dogs). That to me, pretty much gives off the vibe that Quentin was not on Clarence's side throughout his journey and that the story he told was meant more as a cautionary tale than anything.
As is, the film Tony Scott wound up making is just that, a pulpy crime romance. Sometimes however, directors can completely misinterpret the message and intent of a script. In the case of True Romance, I don't think Tony really understood what Quentin was trying to say beneath all that cool, snappy dialogue and those electrifying, quirky characters he created. Scott has always been a visual stylist above all else, and it shows when he's given the opportunity to adapt a script from a real subtext-driven writer like Tarantino. Scott just doesn't have what it takes to tell a story with any deeper meaning.
Still, that's one of the dumbest parts of the whole movie. It's like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have some sort of personal grudge against psychologists and so, deliberately wrote them as idiots in their film. It's one thing for clients to act hostile when ordered to see a shrink upon court's orders, but any experienced clinical psychologist should probably know how to deal with this. The part that's even dumber, is when Sean completely flies off the handle and pins Will against the wall on their first meeting. It's hard to believe a man of such short temper and poor self-control could have ever amounted to becoming a professional in mental health. The whole movie is littered with ridiculous moments such as these. It's a crap film.

I'm sorry I didn't add any guys for you.
Oh yeah, Debbie Harry was a MILF even in her 50's. She looks damn good for her age here.
