When I saw Val Kilmer's name in the "Trending Now" section of Yahoo's main page, I gave it a click to see if he had punched out a shutterbug or something (I forgot he had a movie to promote). The resulting page offered not only a series of links to stories about Kilmer, but an unusual ad (Can I call it a Google ad if it's not on Google? It sure looks like a Google ad) on the right.
"Rare Val Kilmer Films" was the header of a small advert for Movies Unlimited. OK, I know what happened here: I clicked Kilmer's name, and an automated process stuck the actor into an ad template for me.
But come on--RARE Val Kilmer films? I know Movies Unlimited stocks a ton of titles, but unless Kilmer has a sex tape I don't know about, none of his movies should be "rare."
(By the way, I don't get a lot of comments on the site, but if someone follows this post with a message that there IS a Val Kilmer sex tape, I swear I'm shutting the whole thing down.)
Rare Wally Beery films, sure. Rare Ken Berry films--you betcha. Maybe even rare Gabe Kaplan films are of interest around here. But rare Val Kilmer films, even if they exist, are not appealing to this innocent web surfer. I really gotta be careful what I click.

I wished that the producers of Batman & Robin had held out for
Val instead of going with George
Clooney. He made a good Batman
that was almost lineage as Adam
West without the over-the-top
camp.
I think there's a pretty big "Pro-Val" Batman contingent out there, but I guess he was kind of overshadowed by all the other stuff that was going on in his movie. I have to admit, when I think of that installment, he's maybe the third or fourth element that comes to my mind.
