an anthropologist who wouldn't drink the local water is the brahmin.
but I shouldn't laugh I never drank tap water in LA either.
in a previous incarnation I must have been brahmin. Pots of untouchables probably worked for me and washed my cows too.
edit: I should have quoted your ass. |

The Dark Knight is quite an entertaining film. It is intense, often funny, and not just a bit sad. Sad to me because Heath Ledger's performance was pretty f*&king amazing. His joker was creepy and so malevolent that you could not help but love it - it was an inspired performance. I am fairly certain I would think so if he were still with us, but there is that tiny niggling that his death played a role - not fair, I know and likely not grounded. Regardless, he was really wonderful to watch. One of those instances that whenever the character appeared you sat up a bit more in anticipation and excitement. I agree with those that felt Bale's Batman was bland - it was. I quite like Bale, I think he is good at his trade, but I am strangely tainted by Michael Keaton's Batman who I just thought did the role justice. Everyone else did a well and serviceable job, it was 20 minutes too long with one too many endings - but I really enjoyed myself, as did my son. |

You can say that again, but I am prejudiced in Keaton's favor. A wonderful, unique actor whose career has plummeted for no apparent reason. After one of the most amazing one-two punches an actor has ever managed in one year (1988: Beetlejuice and Clean and Sober) he subsequently made Batman and saw his career founder. Unreal. |

No apparent reason?? Lack of hair.

kate -- beauitiful new avvy -- i am so afraid to see batman (the dark knight) but i liked reading your take on Heath.
joe -- I didn't mind you asking that question but my response was trickly -- I didn't know much about Heath b4 Brokeback, but that doesn't change a thing because he embodied & represented the most repressed fag I've ever seen and I will love him for that. |

Fair enough. Thanks for responding (and I think you get I was genuinely curious, not trying to antagonize you). |

I must see a movie, so I will have something to write that won't be considered spam or cyber-bullying. I'm thinking of seeing Journey to the Centre of the Earth with my Fiance tomorrow. Mostly for the effects. I think it will be fun. |

Thank you both. It is the view from the porch of our family fishing shack (we are big Shad fans here) on the banks of the Delaware in PA. |
