I Did It!

I did it! I did it!!!

I DID IT!!!

I DID IT, I TELL YOU! I DID IT!

Whooo! *Pant pant* YES! I actually did do it! I finally did it. I never thought I would, I really, really never thought I would. And now I have!


I watched The Dark Knight.




It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

But then again, I was thinking it was going to be. I guess it would be worse if I thought about it...

I have both a great deal to say about it, and nothing to say about it. So I will just try and make the great deal short.

The parts I liked, I liked very much. The parts I didn't like. I don't think about lest I hate the movie. I don't regret watching it, and that is good, for few things are as bad as watching a movie and regretting it.

It really wasn't, in my opinion, half as good as Batman Begins. A quarter, really. It was very interesting. But not cool. And cool counts for a lot in my book. Don't get me wrong, it did have it's cool parts. A few.

Something rather interesting, when you get right down to the plain, bare fundamentals of it, The Joker really isn't all that different from Ra's Al Ghul. If you think about it. They see only mankind's very worst sides. They dwell on them. They count on them. And that was the downfall of the Joker's plan (IknowIknow, he "doesn't plan." Well, he does.). When you are counting on humanity's dark side, they go and show you just how great they can be.

The one other thing the movie did do, it made you realize just how awesome Batman really is. The last minute or so of the movie, the last five or so, actually, were really just amazing. Truly amazing. What he was willing to do for the people of Gotham. He was willing to go beyond fighting crime for them (That's too easy.) he was willing to become a villain in there eyes, because that was what they needed.

That is what makes him a true hero.

I mean, aside from the fact that he is not wearing hockey pants...
