the dark knight

You’d have to have been living under a rock at the bottom of a particularly large and intriguing cliff on Mars for the past year or so to not know that there’s a new Batman film out. And if that were the case, you’d be a fool. Some sort of alien fool in fact. I’ll presume that’s not the case and therefore urge you to go to see The Dark Knight as soon as you possibly can. It’s batfreaking awesome.

I don’t really do reviews - just ‘mentionings’ really - so when I say that the film pretty much lived up to the expectations I had (and more), that the Joker is unfuckwitable, that Batman kicks ass, and that I haven’t enjoyed a film so much in a long time - take that as a 5 popcorn boxes, two thumbs up and a certified fresh tomato rating.

I didn’t see it on IMAX due to the general retardedness that seems to surround our local eyesore in Bournemouth but still, thanks to a comfy seat quite close to the screen, I got a fairly decent experience anyway :) Really, there’s little I could say that wouldn’t ruin it if you haven’t seen it yet, so I wont. Just go and see it. Tis amazing.

Oh, and the pencil trick = mental. Wow.

You may have noticed a slightly longer gap in posting than normal.. Or you might not have. But there was a gap, due to the fact that I’ve been in Sicily for a couple of weeks, and since I returned I’ve been tottering about catching up with stuff. It’s strange how such a relatively small break can cause such a ridiculous back up of things that need doing.

Anyway, I’m back now. Photos coming as soon as I get around to sorting through them :)

Let the summer fun continue..
