aahh....i have stiff neck now. am still at the work place on this saturday morning and will stay here till 2 in the afternoon. what a torture. the compulsory classes we have to attend. this saturday, it is the computer data system we have. so looking at the screen has put a toll on the neck.
and the previous night's batman session too is to blame. i sat on row J. i would prefer L but i can't complain lah. someone helped me to buy the tickets on thursday night and it was already quite full then.
i only reached home at 1a.m. this morning. i came out from the cinema at 12 midnight. it is 2 hours 30 mins movie....which i think is slightly looooonnngg.
it is a good batman movie, but i think they could have cut some of the scenes in the middle on the mafia. heath ledger was brilliant- maniacal, psychotic and neurotic in his role as the joker. he was really eerie. the cast was brilliant this time. christian bale (ooohhh aaahhh ooohhh), michael caine, aaron eckhart, maggie gyllenhall, gary oldman and morgan freeman. these ppl are totally irreplaceable. i like the beginning and the ending. i yawned in the middle (all the talk about this being heath's best performance before he died must have given those at the cutting board some pressure and to avoid critism, they must have given him all the time in the world). the stunts were great and the gadgets too. the lines were not bad as well.
do not expect this to be as dark as the previous batman (batman returns...correction...batman begins), it was a bit like cop and thief thriller drama in the middle. i would prefer it to be dark...after all it is batman, the dark knight.
i likened this movie to a piece of toast. hahahha...dun ask me why. it just came to me this morning. when u put a piece of bread into the toaster, the expectation is there for it to turn out well and you start having the hunger pang when u start to get the smell. well, that is the beginning of the movie for me. then while you are waiting for it to be toasted, it can get agonising seeing how slowly the process is. that will be mid of the movie. and in the end when the piece of bread turns out into a beautiful piece of brown toast to perfection, that is the end of the movie and the perfected toast is the one that you savour. hahaha...watch the movie if you agree with this comparison.
my favourite is the ending when batman runs into the night accompanied by the music. it puts a smile on my face and for me, that is what batman is all about.
do go and watch it and get some food to accompany you and only start eating after the first hour so you have something else to occupy you.
p/s: a little retail theraphy also happened yesterday (oopps)- a pair of heels, a skirt, a belt, a tee and a pair of shorts. went to secret recipe for cheese cake indulgences- yoghurt cheese, new york cheese and prawn macaroni in cheese. also ordered strawberry and choc cake and tom yum kung. there were 3 of us ok. my favourite- the yoghurt cheese. simply irresistable.

The previous batman film is Batman Begins. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight is a totally new series of Batman, so it has nothing to do with Batman(1989), Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.
Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns were dark, complex, but lacks a certain reality factor. Joel Shumacher's Batman Forever was OK, Batman and Robin was shit, so Warner Bros cancelled Batman, until Christopher Nolan picked it up and did a whole new stuff with it. The director is just incapable of making bad films eh? You just have to admire that.
the last line is too similar to the comment given by the star review. please watch first and be more original in your comments ;P
I know, I quoted from the papers yeah.
I put the "eh" there...
