Batman Is Boring In A Stupid Cape

David Cronenberg says Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is "mostly boring".

The 'Cosmopolis' helmer slammed his fellow director's three action movies - 'Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Dark Knight Rises', which star Christian Bale as the titular character - criticizing the filmmaker for spending so much money on the franchise, which he believes simply portrays the superhero "running around in a stupid cape".



He said: "I don't think they are making them an elevated art form. I think it's still Batman running around in a stupid cape. I just don't think it's elevated. Christopher Nolan's best movie is 'Memento', and that is an interesting movie.

"I don't think his Batman movies are half as interesting though they're 20 million times the expense. What he is doing is some very interesting technical stuff, which, you know, he's shooting IMAX and in 3-D. That's really tricky and difficult to do.

"I read about it in American Cinematography Magazine, and technically, that's all very interesting. The movie, to me, they're mostly boring."

David also hit out at people who are trying to suggest 'The Dark Knight Rises' is a piece of "supreme cinema art" because he believes the superhero movie is mainly aimed at kids.

He added to Next Movie: "A superhero movie, by definition, you know, it's comic book. It's for kids. It's adolescent in its core.

"That has always been its appeal, and I think people who are saying, you know, ''Dark Knight Rises' is, you know, supreme cinema art.' I don't think they know what the f**k they're talking about."

Lindsay Lohan Spent Thousands On Surfing

Lindsay Lohan splurged almost $3,000 on surfing equipment.

The sexy actress splashed out $2,723 at the famous Jack's surf shop in Huntington Beach, Orange county, on Friday August 10, but all the items were for her 16-year-old brother Cody.



According to gossip website TMZ, the store gave Lindsay a 30 per cent discount on her purchases.

Despite the huge shopping spree, the bill is unlikely to upset the troubled actress as it was recently revealed she has already earned an estimated $2 million this year.

Half the amount came from her posing for the December 2011 issue of Playboy magazine - with the pay check not coming through until earlier this year - while she also took home $300,000 for 'Liz and Dick' and $6,480 for 'The Canyons'.

Additionally, she will land a $200,000 fee when she signs on to appear with Charlie Sheen in 'Scary Movie 5' and received a payment for her guest appearance on 'Glee'.

Endorsement deals, including for Jag Jeans and as the face of Philipp Plein, have also boosted her earnings.

She also earns between $2,000 and $10,000 for tweeting about various companies.

Kate Moss Is Into Quantum Theory & Space

Kate Moss is fascinated by advanced mathematics and science - in particular astrophysics and quantum theory.

The 38-year-old model has been hanging around with the likes of Professor Brian Cox, 44.

Formerly the keyboardist in Nineties band D:Ream - known for the original version of 'Things Can Only Get Better' - particle physicist Brian said he recently met the supermodel at a party.

Apparently she asked him all sorts of questions about outer space and claimed she knew quite a lot about the often considered difficult subject.



He told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Kate was asking me some extraordinarily detailed things about the universe. She really knows her stuff.

"She also had some questions from her daughter Lila Grace which were pretty complicated. I was impressed."

Apparently Kate and her nine-year-old daughter are obsessed with Brian's shows, especially his recent program 'Wonders Of The Universe', which sought to answer difficult questions of why humans are here on Earth and where we come from.

Kate said Brian's television show fascinated her and now she can't stop contemplating the strange mysteries of the cosmos.
