why so serious?

I am not un-cultured. Just because I didn't see one of the BEST films all year until seven months after the fact has NO bearing on my cultur...a...bility. (?) Bear with me here.
Well, all of you EARLY birds, (or should I say 'on time' birds) this will be old news to you. But if you consider this amazing masterpiece "old news" already then you OBVIOUSLY didn't appreciate it enough and you should be THANKING me for bringing it to your attention again right before the Oscars tomorrow night. So, I finally watched this. Four. Times. Or something. So, be happy for me. I am officially the LAST human being (excluding my parents) to have seen The. Dark. Knight. Oh, and Heath Ledger is a sick joker. So awesome. 
 
I also saw this. I had heard a lot of mixed reviews from friends - but I couldn't totally ignore the critics and their high endorsements. And honestly, you can never go wrong with Pixar. Anyway, I'm trying this new thing where I actually, like, WATCH the movies that are being shown on the screen rather than doing a Sudoku puzzle or working on some other distracting project. And this is definitely a movie that a viewer has to give a lot to in order to appreciate it. But seriously, just pay attention to this endearing little robot. This is a great movie. I really liked it. :)
p.s. Take note of the release date on the Wall-E poster: June 27? Yeah. My birthday is June 26. Also known as the day that we hopped on an airplane for Tahiti. I missed this by one DAY. *Sigh*

It TWAS amazing! Good gad... fantastic. We saw the midnight showing and basically freaked at each other the whole way home. (Me and band chums who stole me away from all my other chums. Looking back, how the devil did that happen? OH yeah, boys...) But I'm glad you... er... enjoyed it. ;) It truly was the best movie I'd seen in ages. But that didn't stop a ton of the adults I know from complaining of it's corrupt disgusting pointless values. Stupid old people...

I didn't mean that, I PROMISE.

Old people are often stupid:D

Anyway, you shouldn't worry to much about Dark Knight. Wasn't THAT good. lol
