The mind is a terrible thing to, um, uh...
My memory isn't what it used to be. Last night I was talking to my friend Ashlee and she reminded me of something that happened when she was here. I was thrilled that she brought it up because it was something to blog about. As of this moment, I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
Anywhoodle, I saw Mamma Mia and Dark Knight this weekend. I took my mom to both movies and we had a plan of attack that worked pretty successfully. We went to see Mamma Mia on Saturday and bought our tickets for Dark Knight for the next day. The lines were quite long both days but we knew we didn't want to stand in line again on Sunday. So we got there just as the show before ours ended. We went right in and got our favorite seats. Meanwhile we both kept going in and out to get napkins, straws, go to the bathroom, etc. On Mom's first trip back out of the theater she noticed the long line that had formed for our movie. Ooops! Oh well. There was a couple that came in when we did so we didn't feel so bad about it. There was this Asian woman who was the first to get in the theater from the line that had formed outside. She looked like she wanted to kill us for being in the seat she most likely wanted to be in. There's a good chance she assumed we hadn't left from the last showing of the movie. Oh well.
So Mamma Mia was cute and fun and set in Greece. Dark Knight was not cute and not fun and certainly not set in Greece. It was, however, one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. I definitely liked it better than Batman Begins which says a lot. But I give you this warning with all the love in my heart: make sure to have an empty bladder before the opening credits roll. It's a looong movie and I don't suggest missing one minute of it.

Oooh, I'm glad to hear that Dark Knight is good. I really want to see that. What did you think of Heath Ledger's performance? I've heard really good things.
He was really, really good. There was one point that I just got overwhelmingly sad because he's gone. Plus I thought the dialog was really well done. Wait 'til you see what the Joker does with a pencil.
It's funny because the movie definitely didn't feel like a "superhero" movie. The Spider Man movies feel like a video game or comic book to me. This one feels much more realistic, you know, besides the fact that the main guy is walking around in a cape and mask.
I know how to spell 'dialogue' by the way.
I loved Batman Begins, so I'm guessing I'll really like this one, too. Yeah, I dig how these are based on a comic book, but you really don't feel like it when you're watching. I think it really helps that these movies have such a good cast. For a movie about an American superhero, Batman Begins featured a disproportionately English cast. Hmmm.
