So I went with the masses the other night to the happiest place on earth, otherwise known as "The Grove," to see what all the commotion was about regarding "Batman Begins."
Of course we procrastinated, and even after SEEING the gargantuan line that had formed for the earlier showing, we still managed to arrive in the theater about 10 till the movie. Not so much a swell thing!
We climbed up Mount Everest to the VERY last row...which...could be seen as a blessing considering they were the snazzy leather seats once belonging to the "reserved" section...and we sat our asses down. My chair was a bit...no, check that...A LOT squeeky and I couldn't really lean back due to the fear of making a horrendous noise and thus disrupting the entirity of the audience. So I sat. And I sat. And sat some more...through all 2 hrs. and 20 minutes of the movie PLUS the additional 20 minutes of various crap at the beginning.
All in all the film was rather entertaining, although...don't recommend seeing it any later that oh, about 7pm. Your butt gets numb...and if you end up like me...the lengthy trot to the restroom keeps you in your seat holding it for the 240 minutes.
The worst thing about the film was Miss Holmes...and I hear she wasn't signed for the next one...thankfully. But the best thing (well, other than Christian Bale...) that I took from the film was a quote. The first time she says it to him and the second, he to her:
"It's not what's inside, but your actions that define you."
Hmmm...WOW, does THIS apply to my life right now lol. You can be the most amazing person on the inside but how you behave is going to truly define you to others. Think about that and run with it...
