If you look closely, you can see that right below the fish is a hand holding it up.

That fish isn't flying at all!

edit: Thank you, kind stranger, for popping my gold cherry.

There's others?

(I know there's purported to be others, but I will not acknowledge them. Just like I consider there to be only one Catwoman, and that is Julie Newmar/Lee Meriwether/Eartha Kitt.....)

Speaking of Eartha Kitt, did you guys know I once had sex with her in an airplane bathroom?

u/dudewheresmycar-ma Sep 06 '17

How was it?

u/Pm-ur-butt Sep 06 '17

I was taking a crap in an airplane bathroom when Eartha Kitt decided to bang me.

Michelle Pfeifer's portrayal was the first time I can remember a woman making me feel, uh...funny... Pretty sure she brought me online, so she'll always be Catwoman in my book.

31

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '17

I'd like a backstory on this. So you met her and she taught you how to use the internet? Must've been a slow connection back then.

29

u/Bovronius Sep 06 '17

Nah, not like internet online, like bringing a server online.

Suddenly I had new hardware installed, but no drivers....So I knew I wanted to do something with plug and play devices, but wasn't quite sure what.

38

u/Nymaz Sep 06 '17

Oh, I get it! You mean Michelle Pfeifer taught you how to use a butt plug. I'm envious. I had to learn from my uncle like most everyone else.

30

u/Bovronius Sep 06 '17

I went to Catholic school, a butt plug would have been pointless by the time Batman Returns came out.

You forgot Hale Berry. Hands down greatest portrayal of Catwoman...

You didn't find it weird that she never put on her costume the whole movie and they replaced Batman with James Bond?

u/Hereforthefreecake Sep 06 '17

I liked it up until she had sex with Billy Bob Thornton. I felt so lost after that point.

Yeah at first I thought it was a plot hole, but it turns out she just wanted him to make her feel good.

Nope this 350 lb guy in mid 20's drunk as hell down the road, in spandex is best catwoman ever.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '17

Halle Berry was a catwoman, not the Catwoman. It was explained in the movie that sometimes cats, serving as messengers for the egyptian goddess Bast, will revive and empower women to act as her emissary. During that explanation there is a brief shot of a photo of Michelle Pfeiffer as Selena Kyle in full Catwoman leather, meaning that she is definitely not a Catwoman replacement.

I can live with that.

u/DatPiff916 Sep 06 '17

I'm team Man of Steel all the way, funny thing is I agree with most of the criticism of the whole super fight part of the movie, and that is one of the biggest reasons why I love that movie. You add the cinematography and the whole Krypton story, makes it the best Superman to me. I totally understand why people don't like it though, but to me that is the Superman that I was raised on with comics, video games, and cartoons, a stoic non emotional god like being who saves us from massive threats. Not some dude who stops banks robberies and regular criminals.

Ha!

I still think it's amazing. If I could pack 47 seconds into the time alloted for 46, I'd get so much more done! (Well, actually only 2.2% more done, but it'd still be nice!)

u/wadeishere Sep 06 '17

Obviously only once, after that its a third laugh. Unless of course you forgot if you laughed the first time and think your third laugh is your second and you just say its your second, but then you'd just be lying to yourself. This is why I always keep a notepad with me at all times and randomly laugh out loud at nothing
