Discussion Groups / English Usage / April 2010Kick-a.s #1 in America!!!!!!!!!!!!!
says Sky and BBC teletext - it beat off some 3-D thing about a dragon. What a wonderful American expression 'kick-a.s' is - I keep hearing English star Aaron Johnson saying, 'I'm Kick-a.s!', a la Michael Keaton's, 'I'm Batman!', from 1989, speaking of which, Nicholas Cage appears as Big Daddy, Batman in all but name and, for the first time, Bob Kane's original gun-toting character albeit somewhat more murderous! :-D Nicholas Cage is wonderful and loving it - so is little Chloe Moretz as Hit Girl. Go SEE it - you'll love it too!

I enjoyed Kick a.s, but I enjoyed the 3D thing with the dragon more. This surprised me. > says Sky and BBC teletext - it beat off some 3-D thing about a dragon. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Go SEE it - you'll love it too!

Yep, bring it on - Kick-a.s was so good, when it comes on TV you'll want to watch it again knowing you'll have fun. >It was a lot of fun. Jane Goldman says that there is going to be a >sequel too so Huzzah! I think the ending so obviously set that fact up, that they might as well have replaced the final scene with a big on-screen caption saying "SEQUEL COMING! WATCH THIS SPACE!". :) On 24 Apr, 15:33, middleli...@googlemail.com wrote: > On Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:43:43 +0100, Mike Plowman > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > well have replaced the final scene with a big on-screen caption saying > "SEQUEL COMING!

Batman. Oh yes and the small ears - the TV show was criticised for Batman's small ears but Adam West said in his autobiography, Back to the Batcave, that the idea was they would allow for close-ups on the small screen. Nicholas Cage's Big Daddy cowl also has small ears! Nick from England > Go SEE it - you'll love it too! Kick a.s - It does exactly what it says on the tin.
