RIP Val Kilmer


From my future self in 6/11/26.


Another dead celeb I was too depressed to keep track of at the time, cuz Ma was sick, and in her last days.

He was Madmartigan in "Willow" and that was one of Ma's favorite fantasy films ever.
Probably because she thought he was hot. 😏😆

He was in "Real Genius" which I consider the superior substitute to "Revenge of the Nerds" because "Revenge" is rapey and gross, and "Genius" is sweet, and kind, and anti-war.
The real 90's tech-sector nerds ended up like like the "Revenge" nerds.
Bill Gates even went to Epstein island. Fuck.

Be like the "Real Genuis" nerds, kids.

He was Iceman in both "Top Gun" flicks.

And, he was the second least-loved Batman.
I thought he was comic accurate to 90's comic Batman.
Adam West Batman was a crazy person who took himself dead seriously, and all of Gotham played along. That had crept back in by the 90's, but not in the parody way like Adam did it.
90's Batman was starting to unravel a little, and in "Forever" you've even got him going to a sexy shrink.
Val Kilmer Batman is Robert Pattinson Batman, but everyone in Gotham loves him, and treats him like Santa in the Macy's parade.
Pattinson-Bats, the cops are still skeptical, and sneer with revulsion when he shows up.

I've always dimly suspected Adam West, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney used some stolen super-villain's mind control drug or ray to make Gotham love them.
And tested it on Robin.
😏

Give "Forever" another look. It's still not the greatest, but it's better than people give it credit for.
It's weird, but that's why I like it. 

Anyway, 65 is too young to die.
Fuck cancer.
