Oddly enough no. I watched it and I liked it but it wasn't Thrashin'. It's a better movie (I'm sure most things are better than Thrashin')

But the romance was the bigger draw. It was easy to imagine the Cutest boy in School* as Josh Brolin's character and slot myself in as the girlfriend.

• He was a skateboarder and he was cute. He had blonde hair that fell in his eyes and was always doing tricks with his board out front and even the preppy girls liked him.

Also once I liked something I tended to go back to it again and again rather than looking for something new. I still do this to an extent, but especially as a kid I'd rather reread the same book or rewatch the same movie than try something else.

I'm about ten years too old for Goonies (it came out after I was out of college), but it's a pretty impressive showcase of young actors who went on to do good work as adults.

Because the new thing might not be as entertaining, and there are precious hours wasted on inferior entertainment.

Airborne! Seth Green in a pageboy hairdo! And rollerblading.

Also too old for Goonies and never saw it, but anything that adds to Cyndi Lauper's discography can't be all bad.

I saw TDKR again last night. this time in IMAX(i couldn't tell a big difference, tbh.) seeing it that way did give me different previews though! The Hobbit being one of them. yay!!

a few things i noticed this time that i missed the first time.

I wasn't sure if Selina/Catwoman knew who Batman was pretty early on or when she figured it out. this time i noticed her slight change in expression when she led him down to meet Bane and Bane calls him Bruce. she didn't know until that moment.

someone, i think it was ita, asked if we thought the cave Blake goes to at the end was a new one or if it was Bruce's. i definitely missed that the scene where he goes to get the bag and gives the lady his "full" name, he's picking up what Bruce willed to him. the bag has the coordinates and gear for him to find the Batcave.

oh and Lucius definitely made it out of the flooding chamber alive. he's at the graveside with Gordon, Blake and Alfred.

that's all i can think of at the moment. still only caught about 75% of Bane's dialogue. closed captioning on the dvd will definitely be used.

I know that wherever Blake went at the end was where Bruce sent him. It just didn't occur to me that Bruce was sending him back where he had just left (we'd just seen him at the funeral at the manor). I assumed he was going for training before taking on the mantle, because he can't simply put on the mask--he's just a cop! Like, seriously, never occurred to me he wasn't off to his own little odyssey of instruction.

ahhh...i misunderstood your original post. i also paid close attention to the scenes in the Batcave prior to Blake going to wherever he was going. it looked like the same place to me.

Logistically, that makes no sense, though. Narratively, either.

yes, I think that Blake was in the Wayne Manor batcave. It is pretty far away from Wayne Manor physically, at least the driving entrance is. I can believe that the kids won't find it if the Manor entrance is sealed up.

BTW, I interpret the end as Blake is the new batman, Wayen is the new Alfred, and a young one from the orphanage is Robin.
