Three words for you. Go. See. It.

This movie ruled. To be spoiler free here (though comments might not remain that way be warned) this was absolutely excellent. Yeah sure there were one or two like they could survive that moments but who cares in this kind of movie (that fridge thing in Indy aside, that still bugs me).

The acting is superb. Katie Holms replacement was so nice to see. She reminded me and my friends a little of Linda Carter. Heath Ledger did an amazing job with the Joker, absolutely amazing, creeping you out and yet making you laugh at the same time. Sadly one of his best and last roles, you can't tell it's Heath unless you knew. Everyone else does a wonderful job. Both Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent are hot (and I don't go for the chiseled jaw blonds that much but Harvey had it going on)

Of course the name Harvey Dent alone will tell Batman fans at least one of the spoilers. Let me say this, naturally it is violent. The Joker is freaking psychotic. However, the movie does something that I actually liked, the sheer gore it COULD have used, it did not. There's not doubt of what happened but it's left to your mind what the true nature of the violence looks like. There is not that many truly gory things.

The make up and special effects were wow. Good plot. Only a small hole here or there, absolutely enjoyable. I wasn't that fond of the ending and the set up for the next movie. That was the one low point.

The bad parts about the movie? The god awful theatre popcorn, I'm not sure HOW they made it so tasteless, my seat was broken and the movie lost focus for about five minutes

Then it was a glorious night. High 60's full moon, low light fog. I rolled down the windows, screwed going home and just drove around in the dark with no particular place to go. When I got home, Roy was all confused why I should be outside so late

It was very sad last night spotting Heath even before his face was shown to the audience. I've been watching his career since Roar in the 90's and didn't I feel like a dirty old woman back then lusting after that cute little boy.

THis wasn't the first time I've been to a midnight premiere of a movie for an actor who didn't live long enough to see it air. Back in the 90's I went to see Brandon Lee in The Crow and that was even more tragic, especially given that he died on set and the character was more or less the undead.


In less depressing geeky news, I stumbled across a mini marathon of Avatar: The Last Airbender Now I have never paid much attention to this since a) it's on Nickelodeon b) my 8 year old cousins and 'nephew' are into this and I figured it was a tad young for me c) i saw a few and didn't like the graphics.

[livejournal.com profile] evil_little_dog told me a week or so ago I should watch it because there is someone on there that was written for me. So I did that tonight while sucking down some dal makahani. Eyes bright, I found him fast, Zuko (i think). Moody asshat, sulky brat with daddy issues and can shoot fire? That is so my character. (said in at Stewie Griffin voice) It's like Connor Reilly and ROy Mustang had an unholy child. I didn't care for the water bender but i only saw about two hours worth of book three so...nothing like comng in in the middle.I put it in the netflix cue

And in more serious and disappointing news, one of my former coworkers emailed me today. She was a biochemist here and moved to Pittsburgh. Now she has a private prep school teaching job in MY speciality (and wanted my advice on what to do.) GIVE ME YOUR JOB. Gah, i must know where she looked to find this.

And Dear Ohio, you are a state. NOT the face of the sun. It was nearly 100 today. WTF was that about. You made me puke,no lie, puke. thanks for nothing summer.
