Batman: The Dark Knight

[ellen_datlow]

Finally saw it Friday afternoon. Wayyyyyy too long. Loved Ledger as the Joker, enjoyed a lot of it, but wayyyyy too long.

And then truly enjoyed three episodes of Deadwood (from season 2) that evening.

And great dinner party last night with old friends. Got stinkin drunk, gobbled lots of great cheese that I and another friend brougth. Much wine. So much wine that at one point I walked into the screen door spilling my glass of wine enroute to the patio and began laughing hysterically. The owner of said screendoor wasn't as happy but she fixed it.

Barbecue ribs, fresh corn on the cob, I made the salad, Claire (house owner) made the dressing, we all brought wine. John (only guy there) brought a yummy dessert. We ahem, then finished off Claire's cognacs...John and Donni stayed over, Carol and I trundled our ways back home by cab.

No hangover, thank you.

I suspect the problem w/ "The Dark Knight"'s length was because they'd intended it to be LONGER, and the studio said No, so it got chopped up and we got a pretty good movie w/ about three different endings and a terrific character like Two-Face stuffed into the last thirty minutes. Yes, they should have established him and used him in the next movie.

My favorite line(s):

Batman Wanna-be: What makes you so different from me?
Batman: I'm not wearing hockey pants...
