It was very uneven.  I liked the characters and whenever Tesla made an appearance it was well worth wtaching.  But there were also some really dud episodes.  Still, I'm going to miss it.

MiB2 wasn't very good.  It had none of the originality of the first film and the plot wasn't very good.  I'm glad this new film is better.

We went to Universal Orlando over Christmas and it was SO crowded.  We toured around in Potter World but didn't go on the rides.  My mom was in a wheel chair so an employee guided us through the Hogwarts set up which you normally tour through while waiting to go on the roller coaster.  We didn't do  the coaster but enjoyed Hogwarts.  The gift shop was just too croweded to explore and the aisles were too tight to acomodate the wheel chair.  But we had fun.  And I introduced my family to churros with which they weren't familliar.  I offered to share my snack and ended up giving most of it away.  LOL

We did go on the Jurassic Park river raft ride which was lots of fun.  We also saw the animatronic triceretops and I bought a necklace with a genuine fossil on it.

The Dr Seuess world is also worth seeing.  It was so whimsical and they apparently will do Seuess makeup and hair on your toddler as I saw little girls sporting that look all over the park.

Wish, I hope that special place is over your heart.  I don't think my tatoo would look good in a cylinderical format...

Hm, it would be difficult for me to give TDK a stars rating at this point.  I only saw it the once in the theater when it was first released several years ago.  I haven't seen Batman reciently either.

I want you to remember that I never said TDK was a bad movie.  I thought it was a really good film.  And I never said that Batman didn't have it's faults.  I just said that the tone of Burton's movie and the performances of the actors were more to my taste.  I don't want my comic book movies overly realistic.

Being used as a messenger of fate by slamming into a window and breaking it's neck seems kind of hard on the poor birds.

Let me offer my condolances on the passing of your mother.  My Grandmother died after a long illness.  After suffering Altzheimers she had a stroke and was comatose in a bed for several months before she died.  No matter how badly your loved one suffered or how much a relief it is to end the pain it's still a shock and a sadness to lose somebody you loved so much.

Keith, you thought Nicholson's Joker was an "eccentric prankster"?  I saw a deeply disturbed sociopath with a God complex.  He wanted to remake the world in his own twisted image. 

Some movies don't need a sequel and knowing what happens to the characters afterwards detracts from the meaning of the original film.

I like it tha Dekkard and Rachel rode off into the sunset and we never know if they live hapily every afterwards or are captured by bounty hunters or ir Rachel dies after 4 years.  The uncertinty is part of the charm.

Of course, if this new movie is about different characters living in the same world and never mentions Dekkard it could be good.

Keith, taste isn't based on sound arguements.

I like Keaton's Bruce Wayne and Bale's Batman.  DarthoftheDead likes it the other way around.  Taste can't be quantified.

I can (and have) given reasons why I prefer Keaton.  I think his performance is truer to the source material that I have read.  I also think that Nicholson's performance as The Joker is more true to the source material than Ledger's (as fine as that was).

Of course, over the years Batman has been portrayed in so many ways that you could probably point me towards comics which portray those characters more like Nolan's version.

One of my biggest beefs with Nolan's version is that his Gotham is so flavorless.  Gotham City should be full of buildings in the gothic and art deco styles, tall canyons of looming buildings, dark alleys, shining mansions for the rich and ramshackle slums for the poor.  Burton's movies showed me that.  Nolan's Gotham could be any modern city.  It looked like New York, not Gotham.

But it really all comes down to taste.  Do you prefer mint chocolate chip or rocky road? 

I liked the part in the commercial where he kicks the kid who is vandalizing merchendise in the store.  I've had those fantasies too.  I suppose everybody who ever worked in retail has had thoughts like that.

Why can't parents teach their kids to behave in public?
