hardparadeI SAW THE DARK KNIGHT.
This surprises me, but I can't quite work out how I feel about it. :/ I expected it to be more amazing than it was, maybe. Which isn't to say I didn't enjoy it or whatever because I did, it was really good. I just...I don't know. Maybe it's not 'my kind of movie' but I hate saying that because I don't feel like I have really specific taste in movies. I got kind of confused because I know next to nothing about Batman in general, but I went with three people who know quite a bit, and had seen the movie before, so that helped.
NOBODY WARNED ME ABOUT BURNT FACE MAN. D: God, I am so squeamish and pathetic, but that made me feel so ill, oh god. My best friend mentioned it vaguely, but she was like "It just looks like the stuff in those anatomy books you like, it looks cool" but it REALLY WASN'T. (I have this weird thing where I buy books on anatomy from like, the '70s? I really like the drawings of everything, which is quite uncharacteristic of me, really, but most of the time it isn't that realistic so it doesn't bother me.)
It was so annoying, because the screen was so big that I had to cover my eyes or whatever and then I wouldn't know what was going on. I asked my friends if it showed up again and one of them was like "We-ell, yes...but, it's in a bit where the Joker is in a nurse's outfit, so you're probably going to want to watch that." XD
SPEAKING OF THE JOKER, JESUS CHRIST HOW AWESOME WAS HEATH LEDGER? GOD. EVEN MORE AWESOME THAN I EXPECTED, AND I WAS EXPECTING A LOT OF AWESOME. He needs to get one of those Oscars you get after you die which I am CONSTANTLY FORGETTING THE NAME OF. So creepy, so twisted, so weirdly hot. One of my friends was like "I don't even find Heath Ledger attractive, but god, I want the Joker so badly. I think it's because he's the villain, I can't help it, idk what's wrong with me." And I was laughing at her, but then about halfway through I was like "...I kind of see what you mean."
I was sort of quivering in my seat whenever he was on screen though, because even though I knew you weren't actually going to see him go all crazy with a potato peeler/knife on someone's face, I was still terrified. Which is a good thing, I suppose, I mean, that's probably what they were going for.
The whole thing with the ships was awesome, and actually really fascinating. So much of the things the Joker did were so CLEVER.
Also I lol'd pretty much every time Batman spoke, I couldn't help it. HIS VOICE. IT'S SO DEEP AND GROWLY AND NOTHING LIKE HIS NORMAL VOICE, AHAHA. My friends were laughing too, even though they'd seen it before. We were like "He sounds like he has a really bad cold or something, he needs a Lemsip."
What else have I been doing? I went into town today for like the first time in ages, and I got a really pretty dress for my Granny's party, and also some trousers which sort of fit and sort of don't, I think I just need to wear them in. It's so annoying, I kept seeing things I wanted, but I don't have any money now. D: I really want more icons on LJ, because I so don't have enough Narnia ones and it upsets me. I suppose I should probably get a job. Idk.
Also, it's taken me WAY TOO LONG (as in like, two years) to realise that I like Tegan and Sara. I don't know why, but I'm glad I did realise eventually. They're really good.
