I like movies. I like seeing movies in theatres. Some people don't like to pay for movies when they can download them for free, but I like the experience of going to the movies. Even though they take a (Coca Cola-)red hot poker and jam it into my ass with ticket and concession prices. As long a your girlfriend doesn't throw it away (and I'm looking at you Kaseyfacey) that movie popcorn lasts forever anyway.

Recently I've seen The Fall and The Dark Knight. Twice. Once in IMAX. Suck it! The Fall was beautiful. I'm at work and shouldn't be blogging anyways, so I'm not going to go all hypertexty on you guys. Look it up yerselves. It was mostly everything I like in a movie. Beautifully shot, with purdy people, and a little girl with chubby cheeks and no front teeth. Did I cry during this movie? Yes. Was it because of Charles Darwin? Yes. I wish I could see it again but it's one of those movies that only stays at The Naro for a short time. I'll just say a few things then move on: Lee Pace is a handsome, handsome man. You don't need special effects to have a visually stunning movie. Sugar pills are not funny to some people.

Now. The Dark Knight. I love this movie. The action is fantastic: well done but not over done, exciting, and imaginative. The writing is very un-comic-book-movie. You forget you're watching Batman; it's just a movie. If that makes sense. And the acting: Christian Bale, I like you. I really do. But your Batman voice in this one was duuuumb. I liked your fighting style better though. Gary Oldman, nothing less than I expected. You are the man. Aaron Eckhart, you sure are handsome. Too bad you didn't get to bang Katie Holmes again! You definitely have the eyes for Two-Face. Am I forgetting anyone? Oh. Right. Heath Ledger. Heath, you make me so sad. You played the best Joker anyone could ever play. I want to be The Joker's friend, even if he does scare me sometimes. And he did. But I also love him. That's hard to do. You gave me chills. Both times. As Kasey put it, watching The Joker is probably the most bitter-sweet movie experience I've ever had.

IMAX actions scenes of the Dark Knight were breath taking. My definite favorite is when they're transporting a certain someone and a certain someone else comes and messes shit up. Then someone else comes and messes the second guy's shit up too. The entire thing is sweet and contains the only action sequence to make me literally sit up in my chair and speak some kind of expletive. Go see it.

Also seen recently was a re-release of Blade Runner. Lordy is that movie long. But I like it, and it looked really good. I watch it regularly while I fall asleep. Sean Young is hot in a kind of bitchy way and (young) Harrison Ford is the man. I'll say this: I'd rather watch long-ass Blade Runner than the new Indiana Jones. That's for sure.

Okay, I'm outie for now. I'm tired as balls and twice as ugly so I gotta conserve my energy.

Keep it real, dawgs.
