Holy Batman!

Because I am semi-young and have the stamina of a great steed, I attended yet another midnight showing of a blockbuster hit because being the first to see something and to know before you is too tempting for me to pass up. I went down to Big Red to watch Batman Begins because my friends and I have a habit of watching the prequel to any movie we're about to see (Harry Potter...Star Wars...) for a refresher course in details so we can ingest the big screen movie magic a little bit better than most. While Christian Bale is no Michael Keaton, (he'll always be "Santa Fe" Newsies to me!) he did an incredible job but not nearly as good as HEATH FUCKING LEDGER OHMIGOSH. Talk about another actor who is stamped in my brain as a slightly stubborn outcast who wins the hot chick whether by jousting or singing "Can't take my eyes off of you". The performance was phenomenal and I was actually SCARED of him. I have an on-going love affair with the villains from the Batman comics finding them far superior to any other villains and we can add him to the list as a favorite. So dark and evil.

But now...I'm exhausted from getting home at 3:30 AM and going in to work.
