Batman?

Well, today just got completely away from me, all day long. I had only one goal for the day, which never did get done, but I did spin my wheels aplenty. And I feel like I'm the only person on the planet who hasn't seen The Dark Knight yet -- the reviews are universally enthusiastic, though, so I think I may have to ignore my usual aversion to the movie theater (there's no beer, no couch, I can't show up barefoot and in my pajamas, their popcorn isn't as good as mine, they refuse to stop the movie when I have to go to the bathroom, and there's no dog on my lap -- to say nothing of that annoying chatty woman in the row behind me, or the kid who won't stop kicking the back of my seat!). The last flick I saw on the big screen was, I think, Brokeback Mountain (hey! another Ledger film! what's going on here?!?). Movies that have a big enough buzz to make me too impatient to wait for them to show up in my Netflix queue are few and far between, but it looks like Batman might just do the trick...

Back to my usual rants, links and photos tomorrow, hopefully...

Well, it's a 2.5 hour movie, so no liquids for a few hours before! Here's a bonus (at least for DH and DD) there's a trailer for The Watchmen that is AWESOME! Sadly, it doesn't come out until spring of 09. Who teases a movie a year in advance?

Don't worry, I haven't gotten to see it yet because it didn't open here until, like, today. But I don't think I'm going to go see it here...I want to have someone to cling to if scary stuff happens, or at least someone who can tell me what's going on if I have to cover my eyes. I've heard it's intense!
