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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Finally, I want to go to ninja school now.

Who doesn't?

Jesse: the world's first cowgirl ninja.

So was I the only one who went Liam Neeson is Ra's Al Ghul? WTF? I thought Ra's was actually Asian?

Cause again, might be an "I don't know the comics" thing. But it truly boggled me for about two minutes.

I kinda' liked the new Batmobile before I saw the movie, but now I want one of my own.

Woudln't be the first time people accuse me of owning a tank, though.

I just hope the Batmobile model and Batsuit are still at the Toys R Us by the time I actually make it down there. That shit was so hot.
