7490 - Recap of yesterday, and some linkadoos.

[scottobear]

Occupied myself physically, emotionally and mentally. A combination of elements helped me to unwind and distract enough to bleed off a bit of pressure.

Batman Begins certainly the best of the Batman Movies. They did a great job on Gotham, Jim Gordon *looked* like Jim Gordon, and bhk is right... Christian Bale's teeth put in a superb performance.

Opinions & Spoilers: Rachel was way out of line, letting an emotionally vulnerable Bruce off in front of Falcone's place with a gun in his hand. I think that the 'Ghul funded the financial depression of Gotham's bit was unneeded and contrived, and I didn't much like that Batman left Ghul to crash. Scarecrow was excellent, and the actor did a great job with the role. I'm thinknig that using the joker right away for a sequel might be a bad idea, though. Another scary guy that uses psychoactive chemicals to kill his prey might be too similar... and Crispin Glover might have too similar a look even if he is who I'd want to play the Joker. I think they did a great job packing in a lot of bat-lore, and generated a few nice bits, too. the blue-flower toxin (basic eye-focus version, not the scary hallucinations) is not too far off from what I've experienced under the use of mushrooms, either. Why wasn't the kid tripping, by the way? The smart-fabric cape was a nice touch.

Random movie trailer question... You can open the doors to the General Lee?

Walked right by the free moonlight movie to see Batman. It was a nice night... warm, but with a breeze off the intracoastal. Cheeburger Cheeburger on Las Olas Closed, so we went to Ugly Tuna Saloona.

Aside from keeping my eyes and brain occupied with a movie, I also got distracted by assorted legal intoxicants - smoochess, chocolate ice cream, merengue (not meringue?), music, a little rum, a little caffeine, and some secondhand tobacco smoke. We may do a replay with Land of the Dead today. Maybe Bewitched, Mr & Mrs Smith or Longest Yard, too. MP gets dibs on this one. I wouldn't mind Madagascar, either.

I've balanced my keel by keeping the hope that bro is on the run, and not out of the game.

Bumper sticker seen yesterday - "When you die you'll meet Father God, not Mother Earth."

Um... What if you get buried, like most folks in this area do? Odds are good that I'll at least hit the ground when I die, no matter what happens after that. Maybe it's some sort of rapture reference? A slam against pagans? Against environmentalists? Maybe I'm just a little slow today, but I don't get the message. If I don't get the message, I'm not getting saved. Bad Acolyte. No Biscuit. No Wafer.

"When you die you'll meet Father God, not Mother Earth."

Actually, I'm hoping that when all these christians get up there, they find a bunch of druids saying "We told ya."

Just for irony's sake.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Oh , I won't say anything like that... what happens if Heaven's Gate was right?

yikes!

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

You'll have to remind me, what was their spiel?

Was that the bunch that commited suicide so that the "space ship" would pick them up before Judgement Day?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

That's the crew... before they went, a lot of them casterated themselves.

[rejectomorph]

Is "Dakota Station" in your music list supposed to be Dakota Staton?

Wouldn't it be funny if, when you died, you met yourself coming back? Well, it wouldn't be so funny to Hindus, I guess, as they'd be expecting something of the sort, but it would be really funny if it happened to Billy Graham or the Pope. I can hear them saying "Oh, crap! Why do I forget this in every damned life?"

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

it surely is Dakota Staton! Whoever encoded the MP3 must've "spellchecked" her.

it would be pretty neato to greet yourself in passing. "Mostly good job! try to do better!"

[rejectomorph]

I find mistakes like that all over teh Intrawebs! It's fun to Google something, and if you make a slight misspelling, see all the web sties web sites that also got it wrong. Good thing that Google gives correct spelling options now, when you make mistakes.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

you're not kidding... I wonder how much stuff is lost to typoes?

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

See Bewitched for nostalgic purposes, but not because you want to see a *really great* flick. It's one of those "This would have been better watched on HBO or on DVD movies." Know what I mean? Some are just better that way. Wasn't horrible at all -- & you know I love chick movies -- but the writing was lackluster. It was fun to see Will Ferrel, and fun to see a few old characters get introduced for a few minutes here & there, but other than that, I checked my watch often 3/4 through to the end.

Go see Mr. & Mrs. Smith or Longest Yard instead. Personally, I think you'd like the Smith movie best...especially if you liked Batman. :0)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Which is the better date movie? I suspect mr & Mrs might be?

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Hmm... since you put it that way --

Either Mr & Mrs. or Betwitched. But if she doesn't like super chickie stuff, or kinda slow, then I would go with Mr. & Mrs. That one has definite appeal to both sexes, and was just plain FUN.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

hmm... well it's her call, I got dibs on batman. :)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

also, your little dragon icon is cute!

Who plays uncle arthur in the bewitched movie?

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Hee...this is the first time I've remembered to use it. It fits me & the addiction. :D

The website says "Steve Carrel", maybe you might know him from the Daily Show or "the office" I don't watch much regular TV, so I didn't recognize him. He did a good job, though...voice was spot-on. Short part, though.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

oh, I know him.. he'd a good pick, I think.

I forgot popcorn last night!

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

"When you die you'll meet Father God, not Mother Earth."

EW. I just read that. To me it seems like someone whose bent about all the "goddess type" bumper stickers around, and whomever made it kinda screwed up?? :D

It's an annoying bumper sticker...

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure what the message was, exactly. It did stirke me as mean or smug, though.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Yay for Batman's teeth and especially...yay for unwinding!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I think he did an underbite as batman, and an overbite as wayne.

Unwinding very good!

It's a video of Jessica Simpson singing "These boots are made for walking" and at the beginnning, she's driving the lee, and the door opens up.


here's a clip... Daisy's a pole dancer it seems.

Hey, waitaminute... do you mean Cheeburger Cheeburger was just closed for the day, or closed down?!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

[ckirkman.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, that's so sad. :(
