Dr. Walsh ,'Potential'
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.
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.

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.
Ailleann, no, I did that too. It boggled me for the rest of the movie, actually, until my friend explained that Ken Watanabe was only a figurehead pretending to be Ra's Al Ghul (who is Egyptian, not Chinese). I was confused because I thought the "dual identity" comment was about some sort of magic, and we'd seen Ra's and Ducard in the same place at the same time. But now it makes sense.
