Why So Seriousssss.....

I'm literally backed up on my thoughts for the past couple of weeks. Who knew that blogging can be soooo time consuming. However, two weeks ago I had one of the more exciting weekends outside of drinking and lounging. Besides getting the iPhone (I still can't believe how much of my time is consumed in such an amazing gadget...haha), I was able to catch the new installment of the Cape Crusader and his arch-nemesis, The Joker (Heeee...Heyyyy...Haaaaa) on IMAX @ Irvine Spectrum. Yes I'm one of those nerds who stood in line for 2 hours to grab a good seat. As Kent clearly put it, "I don't think I've ever dedicated my whole day around a movie". Now you have!

This was probably the best movie I've seen in along time. Storyline, character development, and the fact they paid a good tribute to the beauty of Hong Kong (and no its not all about the masaage parlors as depicted in Rush Hour 2) was worth every single penny of the $17 ticket price. I'm not going to even go into the movie and spoil the fun for some of you, since its all over the Internet. However, I do have to point out Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was priceless. After watching his performance, you can't help but feel somewhat disturbed by how well he plays the Jokester.



**Beware some SPOILER news**

Despite its greatness, I did have some minor complaints: a) Why is Batman's voice soooo much deeper than in Batman Begins? So much anger...GRRRRR! b) It did NO justice to cast an older-looking Maggie Gyllenhaal to replace Katie Holmes' character (I'm glad they killed her off...hehe) c) Action sequences were nothing compared to the first d) Two Face's actual burned faced looked a little too fake. Other than that I'm definitely going to take a another crack at it in the upcoming weeks. Here are just a few pics of our day....
