New look...and...

First, I posted this post to inform you of my new look. On my blog, that is. I was going to have a bullet caught on camera careening toward a disembodied brain for the logo, but, for now, this'll work. I'm considering changing the name, too. Maybe not yet. Oh, well. Then I'll lose all my readers. Oh well. God'll still be able to read it.

Now, I'm going to try to think of something informative and interesting to say, on the spot. Maybe I'll just post some random photo. Lemmy think.

OH! I KNOW! Since I've watched Batman Begins about three times, I'll just whip a review off the top of my head. *gets a mirror*

...hmm. Mebby I'll need two...

Oh, well. Here I go. Trying to make everyone in the world laugh. Poor me.

Batman Begins (2005, I think) (PG-13)
(Intense Action Violence, Disturbing Images, and Some Thematic Elements)
(●●●●○)

Allllright. For a start, let me say that I loved this movie. To the extent which I, at least, had it bought for my birthday. It had enough action, as few smooches as is necessary...and...not much bad language, by what can only be called my standard.

Ok. The acting was, in my horribly un-experienced opinion, great. Christian Bale really seemed to be Batman well.

Oh. One thing I hate about the Batman idea in general is that the guy's got a huge cape and he's doing really advanced martial arts. Come on. Is that a great match, or what? "No capes, darling."

The technology was cool. Rather cool. But not as cool as the little bit in The Dark Knight which I actually saw. The Batmobile couldn't have been made better, in my opinion, and all Batman's gadgets do a great job of...um...making him look cool. And cumbersom.

UPDATE: I think Rachel was an above-average superhero girlfriend. Though the class "superhero girlfriend" usually doesn't include anybody this good, she's in it. She was, I think, probably my favorite of such of all time. And she was rather well acted to boot. I was really annoyed that Katie Holmes wasn't available for the second movie.

Hmm. I think Albert's the best character and always will be. Unless he stops being so good. And he'd better not. 'Cause then I might have to employ an assassin.

One thing about Batman which I like is that Bruce had to work to get his power, and some, like, for instance, Superman and Spiderman, did not. They got their power, and then they had to deal with it. Bruce Wayne, however, had to go to some insane place in the Orient to get his phys-ed. This does, however, mean that his power is comparatively limited. He can't really throw someone through, for instance, five or six walls. He can, however, bash someone on a wall really hard. Which is, I think, a rather highly thought-of skill.

Oh! I forgot Gordon!
Gordon was, I think, easily the second best character in this movie. I may be wrong. But he's got good lines, looks...um...I dunno, what would you classify his looks as? Oh, well. He was great.

Oh, and the best line of the movie was, "I gotta get me one of those.", without much reasonable or shadowy doubt.

OH! And, the coolest prop in the movie was the Bat...um...thingys. The things he throws at lightbulbs and scares the H-bombs out of the badguys with.

Ok. I'm not going to say who or when one should see this. Ask your parents. Great people.

Ok. Sometime, I might manage to see the Dark Knight from start to finish, instead of from 3/5ths into the movie to 5/5ths into the movie. Ohhh, well. Wonderful day.

Also, this review may be subject to fierce editting and/or additioning.

Have a great day.

Rachel was stupid in the first or the second? I thought she was fantastic in the first, but the second.... ehh.

The first one is called Batman Begins. The second is called the Dark Knight. Got that straight?

Wow, an entire post about The Dark Knight without The Joker...

I'm going to take that as a joke, as it's hard to imagine someone as smart as Teh Grate could overlook the previous two comments.
