Batman Begins. Indeed

[dangermousie]

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.

Crushing on Liam and anyone is NEVER WRONG. Ever.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

And I was ready to slash Liam/Christian in the film (speaking of slash :D) because Katie Holmes was so annoying :D Not really,because speak of uncannonical, but hey, it would have been better than Katie.

[frahulettaes.livejournal.com]

no, it's being written as we speak. I kid you not. I think it was being written shortly after the casting news came out. I really love some of the Liam/Orly stuff that has Orly jealous of Christian. Um, if rps is uncool to you, just delete this and let me know. I'll not mention it. but don't unfriend me cause I'm quite happy keeping it to myself.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heee. RPS is not my thing (I was actually thinking Ducard/Batman, not RL Neeson/Bale anyway :D), but people are certainly welcome to write whatever they like. And I like your posts, so no unfriending. :D

So, have you seen the movie yet? And do you agree that Katie Holmes makes wood look animated.

I was actually cheering when she told Batman
*spoiler*
*spoiler*
she couldn't be with him, because honestly, good riddance! All she does is whine and lecture him. And has no personality.

[frahulettaes.livejournal.com]

And really, why would he go with her when he could have Ducard?
would you even know the world existed?
No, sadly, I've not seen it. But will make a big effort. I also have to try to see Kingdom of Heaven.
Sigh, I'm way behind on my Liam watching.
thx for the rps thing.

I'll second the Katie Holmes thing. My God... she puts Zellweger to shame in my book. Twenty times over. Ick ick ick.

heeeeeeeeeeeeee.

*loves*

I know. Realy, usually women in "hero saga" movies aren't as prominent as the men, but Oh. My. God. Padme she ain't. MJ she ain't. Heck, even previous Batman g/f were better. Ugh. Retire, please!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeeee....I know.

Though I have to say the future potential of that ship is rather limited :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you simpy must see KoH and BB. They are both really good as movies (and have lovely Liam roles).

why would he go with her when he could have Ducard?


To be fair, at that point of the movie, going with Ducard is not really an option :D

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

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.

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[katranna.livejournal.com]

Knew you'd love it. :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Someone's soul got sold to the devil at some point

Hopefully, Katie Holmes' :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Did you see it yet?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

How? :) Yeah, I am a sucker for angst.

[frahulettaes.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, Ducard bites it. I remember.
Oh well.

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

I think I'm seeing it tomorrow.

Cillian Murphy was teh uber-hotness in 28 Days Later, a zombie movie my roommate and I watched at three o'clock in the morning one night last semester. We watched it again the next night (even though we hadn't SLEPT the night before, because GOSH DARN zombies are teh scary) because Cillian Murphy is such the hotness. Also, the movie is very very good for a horror flick (I hate the horror genre in general but this was a very well-conceived and well-acted film). I would, however, recommend NOT watching it at three in the morning.

He's also in Girl with a Pearl Earring. I preferred the book, but I liked him in the movie.

I think he actually auditioned for Christian's role in the movie, but the director really liked him so he gave him the role he got - I'm not sure who he plays. In fact, I didn't know he was in this movie. I didn't really care to see but HOLY SHIT my hottie Irishman's in it so I guess I'll be seeing it after all.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I saw GWAPE. Who did he play?

I think no zombie movies for me :)

he plays a villain in BB: crazy, psycho, educated, pretty one.

[savingmykisses.livejournal.com]

Crap, I look like an idiot for not closing my html tags. Oh well.

He played Pieter the butcher's son in GWAPE.

[rabidfangurl.livejournal.com]

Um, we *are* the people that ship Anakin/Padme. You wanted talk about doomed?

Going tangential again...

[grace-om.livejournal.com]

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 ;->
