Batman Begins. Indeed

Just got back from screening. I need to go to bed so long review coming later, but for now:

Loved it. Best. Superhero. Movie. Ever.

Gritty and angsty and dark and Bruce Wayne needs major therapy. Even his issues have issues I would offer sex therapy.

And Christian Bale is spot on, what with the angst, and the aristocratic air and the edge and is smoking hot

Liam Neeson is as always, perfect (is it wrong to crush on BOTH Liam and Christian?). Michael Caine....loved him. And Cillian Murphy is startlingly pretty. What else has he been in?

Basically, it was a Welshman assisted by a Cockney against two Irishmen and an Englishman. Heeee.

Also, after seeing Katie Holmes, I sincerely hope Tom Cruise marries her and makes her give up acting. It would be a benefit to society. Not that her role was much, but she managed to murder even that little.

I can't wait to see it. So much Bale love. Not fair that he's so hot and talented. Someone's soul got sold to the devil at some point, I'm sure.

Hopefully, Katie Holmes' :D

Going tangential again...

Haven't seen BB yet, but we will go (probably next weekend to avoid first weekend crowds). Anyway, we watched "Empire of the Sun" last night, which stars a 13-year old Christian Bale. He was absolutely extraordinary. The special features has scenes of Spielberg directing him, and it's like..."Do it this way"...and he just does it...every time. I highly rec the film for anyone who hasn't seen it.

So whoever's soul got sold, it happened quite some time ago ;->
