Yep, still *the quiet whirring of the fans the only sounds he hears in the place*

I can only wish. Let's just say I had the last say on a few people. Literally. Weekend on ICU off. That is awfully rare.

Possibly one of the most tragic things I have read for a while.

One more night. I was wondering when I was going to start adding to that count again. Eight since I started.

Saw it again in IMAX last weekend. I was able to understand Bane for the most part the first time around. Granted, some of the muffing of the mask was hard to understand. But to quote Bettlejuice when he was referring to the exorcist, "It keeps getting better, every single time I see it." Still was giddy as a schoolboy watching it.

They should have the inscription of the gates of Hell from Dante's Inferno on the entry of that ward...

Oh, man...that sucked harder than a whore in a wind tunnel.

Up early. Must wake up

As an awesome avatar.

I got to see it in IMAX in a marathon with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Yes, on a work night. And I made it through work the next day (and on time, I might add.) I must confess, I was giggling like a schoolboy regarding how much was brought over from the comics, and how much they got right. Seeing all three of them together, I can say they all rocked equally. And we all cheered at the ending of The Dark Knight Rises, in all the codas they had, but especially at the last coda. That coda brought the biggest smile on my face for a job well done, and well deserved of a hero. I have been a collector of Batman/Detective for decades. My oldest is Batman #259. I have seen the character go through camp, pulp, moody, and now a become a family (WTH?) The movies in the 80's and 90's were more concerned with the criminals of the movies (Burton,) and the camp of the TV show (Schumacher.) While enjoyable, they didn't catch the true hero of Batman/Bruce Wayne. Nolan and Bale brought to the character what I have seen in the comics again and again: One man turing anger, loss, and fear into hope for us all. Every time the villains beat him down, Wayne rises again to the challenge, despite falling into darkness. The classic heroic cycle,, where the only helpers are a couple of close people, his fortune, and, most importantly, his wits/determination. Bale and Nolan nailed Bruce Wayne and Batman. Both sides have to be played right, something the older movies never quite got right for me. It is important that he is just a man. Not some alien, modified/amped-up automaton, but a single man. The villains were only the catalyst to make the man change. It is watching that man and his changes that made the comics a good read for me, and this trilogy such great thing to watch

To bicycle or not to bicycle...

Well, blast it. There go my dreams dashed to Hades.

The brain is slowly toasting.

Hello, Hello!

*sigh* Still. And nothing on the horizon at all. :/

One last night before heading back to the eastern seabored....er, seaboard.
