Batman- I have a warm fuzzy feeling for you!


I have this random/lame tendency to fall asleep during movies. I chalk it up to the fact that I rarely sit still, so put me in a dark room and in a seat where I can't really spread out--- doesn't that mean bedtime? I've made many-a-friend upset with this habit. Its strongest on Friday nights...come on now, who isn't tired after a long week? Truth is, I can't really help it. If I'm not completely into the movie or obsessed with its release, then there is a chance I could relax a little too much!

Regardless of this ability of mine, there are a few movies that warrant a LATE LATE viewing. Harry Potter being the #1. I've waited in huge lines prior to the 1st showing, just to see it. I'm not ashamed at all.

This weekend-Batman was another Midnight viewing that couldn't be missed. Although, it was the Friday at midnight, not Thursday Midnight showing. We figured it would be sold out for all other shows, and at the earlier viewings lame watchers would bring their poor children to scream, cry, and interrupt throughout. Anyhow- FANTASTIC! I wouldn't have understood quite so much without the help of my coworker Erika who explained the difference from the past 'comic book' movies to this 'graphic novel' rendition. The relationship between the Joker and Batman is best summed up in one of the classic funny lines delivered by the Joker himself. 'I can't kill you- you complete me!' - Classic!

In the spirit of all things Batman, the history channel had an awesome show about Batman and his Villain friends. Apparently they are the most psychotic of all evil characters in comics. They actually have certifiable mental diseases. Awesome! Before you see anything else...go see this flick! Its ridiculous! Mind you- the Joker is FREAKY! not like the usual. Its truly crazy!

Shoots! This movie was AWESOME!!!!!! Seriously. I had some friends warn me that it was really "dark." Yah, it was dark. But, you still leave the movie thinking, "Good CAN overcome evil." There are some "dark" movies where you just leave feeling creeped out--but not this one. This one is AWESOME!!!!!!
