I'm going to see Batman Begins at the IMAX tonight!
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Your tag here.
Have you seen BB before, askye? If not, you're in for a treat. (Well, technically it's still a treat if you've already seen it, I suppose...)
Also? I'm so jealous of your IMAX-having.

This will be my third time!!! This time I'm seeing it with Mom. It just opened at the Imax on Friday.
I realised that even though we've had the IMAX for several years I've never seen a movie there. ---it's mostly documentaries they show, and I'm not sure why I haven't gone to the IMAX. I'm going to change that and start going regularly.

Batman Begins experienced via IMAX kicks ASS!!! It was fantastic, I loved watching it for the third time.
Also, my new glasses made a huge difference, since everything wasn't hazy and marred.
Mom LOVED it and was thrilled to hear there are sequels. And she wants to see more movies with Christian Bale and to know why she hasn't heard of him before.

Rent her the trifecta of American Psycho, Velvet Goldmine, and Mary, Mother of Jesus if you want to see her head explode.

And then add EMPIRE OF THE SUN as a chaser.

Oh god, I can just see Mom freaking me out by liking Velvet Goldmine.
At one point after Empire of the Sun came out on video she went to rent it because it was recommended by a friend and ended up renting The Last Emporer by mistake.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A friend of mine once recommended Au revoir les enfants to her conservative parents - they rented La cage aux folles by mistake....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Finally saw Bleu last night. So wistful and dark and richly visual and just plain wonderful. I have meaning to see it for 12 freaking years, since everything I heard about it made it seem the kind of film I would love, and, yep, I sure did.
Juliette Binoche rooools.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think they are both good movies just in REALLY different ways.
