It was slightly disconcerting to want to do Batman
This looks like English too, mostly.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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

I generally don't find fictional characters sexy on a visceral level unless/until they're played by an actor I find hot. The other Batman actors never did much for me in that way, whereas Bale as an adult fails to push most of my buttons only when playing Jesus.

Will see it on IMAX this Friday, methinks. Hopefully with new friends. Or NYCistas, perhaps.
I have SUCH sadness that I will not be going to the Seattle IMAX showing with The Rucka on the day before my birthday.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That was bloody brilliant!
It hung together thematically, and the casting (with only one or two possible exceptions) was kick-ass, and dear lord in heaven do I want to see Alexis go play with them in the next one.

Hey. New board.
Whoa. I'm either tired or more girly than I should be, because my brain went straight to Alexis Bledel when I read that.
Had I not known you HAD to be talking about Batman (because, really, what else would you be talking about?) then I would've never figured out that you meant the alexis-denisof-as-um-joker? rumors.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
He can play Catwoman, and it would make me happy. He's just so suited to the Movie-verse.
Alexis Bledel, so very not.
I will give them props for not casting for traditional-pretty for the role of The Girl. She's quite asymmetrical.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
A friend of mine did point out that if Scientology took the Pepsi Challenge with any other major religion, it's not that wacko - so the bread becomes the corpse of Jesus halfway down your throat, hmm? And he lived in a whale? I see. And what's all this about mixing different types of cloth? And he's a blue elephant?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Batman = hot. I liked the movie a LOT, although I think they could have done without one of the parts -- there was just a lot going on. Honestly? I would have loved a movie that ended with him putting on the suit for the first time, and no big villian part. Which is not to say I didn't love it, I just wanted more of everything! Except Katie Holmes. It looked fantastic, I loved Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, and all the Bat-stuff, and etc., etc.
The theater, OTOH, was full of jackholes -- they let us in to the theater nearly an hour ahead, and there was this group of I swear to god twenty people coordinating seats throughout the theater the ENTIRE TIME before the movie started. There was also a couple who came in twenty minutes before show time and LEFT because they couldn't find two good seats together. @@ I also enjoyed the crew of boys sitting up front who yelled, "Batman's a BITCH!" when Katie Holmes slapped him in the car.
Finally, I want to go to ninja school now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
