Administrative note for my peeps: my journal entries for the next six weeks are going to be late on Tuesdays or Thursdays, as I am bettering myself and taking a class in the mornings. Ironically, it's a "How Not To Disappoint Your Readers With Late-in-the-Day Blogging, You Inconsistent Dick" class (advanced level). So suffer but don't hate me, monkeys.
Quick movie review: Batman Begins is pretty kick-ass. It certainly rescued the Batman franchise from the big gay wonderland of which Joel Schumacher seemed to have visions. It's not quite as perfect as Tim Burton's first two movies, but it's very close.
The darkest, scariest character in the whole damn thing is Batman himself, which is the way it should be. The dark, wounded nature of the character has always separated him from other superhero fare, and the Christopher Nolan version certainly plays the darkness aspect up. Christian Bale is one of the best actors in movies right now and he brings a self-destructive thrill-seeking element to Bruce Wayne that makes perfect sense. Most of the actors are good and even the freshly insane Katie Holmes doesn't mess things up too bad, although most of the movie's "eh" scenes feature her.
On a side note - man, what a tragedy she's turned out to be, huh? I used to think she was so sexy until this recent silliness with that nutjob Tom Cruise. I haven't been this disappointed since Lindsay Lohan got all skinny and gross. Scarlett Johannson and Kirsten Dunst are next, I just know it.
Anyone else see the movie? What did we think, eh?

Please don't take Kirsten Dunst away from me.
She will be among the skeletal fallen, mark my words.
i thought it was a notch above the burton films. and i love those movies. but hey, regardless of which we think should win the burton/nolan debate, we can all rejoice in joel schumaker not making another batman film. ever.
....and kristen dunst is mine!

If you can't get her name right, you may certainly not do naughty things with her.
the only thing better than seeing the movie was seeing it on an IMAX screen at midnight the day it came out

I can't believe I did that. :O
I'll still take Katie Holmes if you guys don't want her.
i love the new batman (christian bale will always be a newsie-sorry).
i used to like katie holmes.
i have always hated tom cruise.
(only exceptions are 'cocktail'(but that was because of the soundtrack), 'vanilla sky'(but that was because of cameron crowe's adaptation from the spanish version) and parts of 'jerry maguire'(but that was only cause jonathan lipnikey said "do you know bees and dogs can smell fee-or?")
i think lohan is a ho-han, and kirsten dunst does nothing for me.
scarlett seems....interesting.
