this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So so SO good. Casting Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon? Really brilliant casting. He was fan-fucking-tastic as Gordon. Michael Caine was really very good, though I expect Alfred to be thinner, but still, he was quite good.

Cillian Murphy is a pretty, pretty man. Christian Bale -- not really attractive to me, facial-features-wise, but damn does he have a killer body.

Katie Holmes was unnecessary. She wasn't *bad*; she was just -- eh. Filler. And basically, her character was Joey Potter, all growed up. Whatev.

Dude. So so SO good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Saw that bat guy movie. Was really great. But now I think I have Teppy's head-hurt thingie, or else its demon spawn child....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey, does anyone know if Steph liked Batman?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

tommyrot, I still have mine (though greatly lessened), so you got your own. Though mine may have spawned. It has frightening powers.

I saw a preview for Serenity, which looks cooler on the big screen than on my laptop screen. And a preview for the Dukes of Hazard movie, which I'm ashamed to admit looks like completely mindless dopey fun.

See, I *knew* I had a problem expressing myself....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Christian Bale -- not really attractive to me, facial-features-wise

It sure looks like English...

I need to see it again. DH and I saw it separately, and we disagreed on SO MANY THINGS that we now need to see it together to see who's right.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, it's like Teppy was typing in a whole like alternative-reality English.

I'm going to see the movie this weekend one way or another. . . not on IMAX, which doesn't really bother me.

And possible Serenity trailer?

That's the icing!

Your tag here.

Steph L. is me.

I second the "really fucking good movie" motion. Honestly, one of the best I've seen in a long while. Hope they do two more. I liked this interpretation of Batman versus Burton's.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Katie Holmes was unnecessary. She wasn't *bad*; she was just -- eh. Filler.

So, basically, like every female in every BatMovie except for Michelle Pfeifer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Katie Holmes was unnecessary. She wasn't *bad*; she was just -- eh. Filler.

I disagree. I'd go as far as calling Kim Basinger bad, at the very least.

Amen. It was slightly disconcerting to want to do Batman, an urge that I wasn't faced with when viewing any of the previous actors in the role.

Oh, was that a fun moviegoing experience. If I didn't know anything about microwaves or aerodynamics it would have been well nigh perfect.
