Comic Books / Film / TV / Ufgood Val Kilmer Is Back! As Batman!
Posted by Erik Henriksen on Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 9:44 AM
Nothing would make me happier to report than Warner Bros. deciding to reboot Christopher Nolan's doom-and-gloom Batman series by recasting Val Kilmer in the part—preferably due to some sort of time-travel plot that would let Kilmer replace Batman's secret identity of "Bruce Wayne" with, say, "Mark Motherfucking Twain." But alas, that's not the case. (THANKS FOR NOTHING, WARNER BROS.) Instead, we have to settle for Kilmer showing up on Warwick Davis' Life's Too Short. The resultant clip is now my third-favorite thing on the internet, after (1) that Mark Twain business and (2) Kilmer's Twitter feed.
Thanks to my fellow Val Kilmer superfan Robert B. Fortney for the heads up.

Willow plays at 9:45 tonight at the Laurelhurst Theater (2735 E Burnside)."Dust of broken heart" is a powdery substance belonging to the Fairies, which is entrusted to Franjean. He wears it in a container attached to a necklace. Rool tries to take some from Franjean to use on a cute girl at a tavern, but in the struggle, he spills it on himself and inadvertantly falls in love with a cat.
Later, Franjean strikes Madmartigan in the nose with the container so that he would stop touching his spear. This causes Madmartigan to temporarily fall in love with Sorsha when he is supposed to be rescuing Elora Danan from her.

Today's selected entry from the Willow Wiki:
Willow plays at 9:45 tonight at the Laurelhurst Theater (2735 E Burnside).Burglekutt is the prefect of the Nelwyn village and presides over the village council. He sells the seeds to the farmers in the village and accuses Willow of stealing seeds from him, but Willow explains that his family has been gathering them in the forest since the previous autumn.
Soon later, he mocks and demoralizes Willow in the fair, as he performs his magic trickery and later is presented among the hopefuls of the High Aldwin.
Burglekutt was then seen in the village council discussing the raid of the Death Dogs that ruined the fair. He suggested that the culprit responsible should be thrown in the pit. When Willow presented Elora Danan to High Aldwin, Burglekutt once more attempted to make Willow's life difficult by saying that it would be fair that it would be Willow to take the child to the Daikini crossroads and also did not allow Vohnkar to accompany him. High Aldwin, sensing Burglekutt's ill-temper, made him the "leader" of the expedition, to which a frightened Burglekutt called Vohnkar to come with him.
Once they reach the crossroads, he insists they give the baby to Madmartigan, the first Daikini they met, eager to turn back home. Willow did not trust the Daikini as he was imprisoned in the crow's cage and objected to giving the baby to him. Burglekutt then took the three warriors with him and left Willow and Meegosh.
