Movie Review: The Dark Knight

I recently saw the new Batman movie, and I must say, I loved it. It was a truly amazing movie. Of course, everyone already knows that it is a great movie. I don't need to tell you about the amazing storyline, Heath Ledger's stunning performance, or the action-packed action scenes because you already know all that. In fact, the greatness of this movie is so well documented and so well categorized that I will instead focus on the intensity of its greatness.

This movie is fantastic and fantastical. It is crazy good, freaky good, freakin' good, and too good at the same time. It is divine, legendary, sensational, terrific, superb, wonderful, and, dare I say, scrumtrelecent. It stands as a testament to adjectives everywhere, so that they can aspire to describe nouns as amazing as this movie.

This movie is a feast for your mind. It is like Thanksgiving for every meal for forty-two years, but it does not include the annoying relatives, the inevitable weight gain, or that feeling you get when you eat way too much food that it becomes painful. And it's chalk full of action around every turn!

Aside from being an exciting cinematic adventure, this movie is a piece of artwork laid out on IMAX. If Monalisa and the statue of David were to have a movie-baby, it would be this movie...except that when it was done being beautiful, it would beat up all the criminals in the world. It should be put on display in every art museum in the world. This would inevitably cause people to actually go to art museums willingly.

That is all I have to say. I really liked this movie. You should go see it. Believe all the hype and get excited because this movie cannot let you down.

JAPAN! Part yon

Japan is 10 years late!

They`re just now getting boy bands!

I think.

Why Bother Washing Your Feet at the Beach?

Why bother washing your feet at the beach? You clean them off, but then your clean wet feet are in the middle of a minefield of sand!

JAPAN! Part san

Dude, all of today I listened to the radio in Japan. And they played Electric Light Orchestra`s "Twilight". That`s a 27 year old song by a semi-obscure British band. What the heck?

FedEx Trucks

Have you ever noticed how the FedEx trucks have an arrow between the E and the x?

JAPAN! Part ni

This place doesn`t believe in air conditioning. Everyone sits and complains atsui da ne! (it`s so hot!) but then they just sit there with the air conditioner, off, right next to them. It`s hilarious. In the car, at school, at home, it`s all the same. And it`s hot. It hit 35 degrees!

Yellow Trucking: Color Blind?

JAPAN! Part ichi

What the heck?! Japan is all about being germ-crazy. People wear masks (like a surgeon`s) if they`re sick so they don`t cough on people and they even sometimes wear gloves while they`re driving (haven`t figured that one out yet) and they wear slippers in the bathroom because the floor might be dirty. However, they don`t think it`s weird at all to take a bath with a bunch of other people of the same gender in a hot spring. Naked.

Driving really isn't that great

It's almost every young teenager's dream to earn his or her driver's license. That's an almost inarguably true statement. People want the freedom of driving. People want to be able to go wherever they want, whenever. And do it now. Right?

I've recently discovered that walking is far more liberating than any car. With a car, you have to stay on the road. Roads really don't cover that much of America. There is so much unpaved land just waiting for someone to find it before it is paved. There are paths through forests and lakes to walk around. Even here in town I've discovered things I didn't know existed, just by walking around. If you're bored, and you've got time, go take a walk. You don't need a destination. Just go!

Discrimination!

Discrimination/persecution of an individual based on race = Racism
Discrimination/persecution of an individual based on sex = Sexism
Discrimination/persecution of an individual based on religion = uhhh... mean?

Seriously? what word should I use here?

Headlights are good.

Ever wonder what it looks like to drive at night without your headlights on? It looks like this:

Dudes

"Dude, I forgot napkins. Good thing there is this table cloth."

"Dude, I forgot kleenex. Good thing I wore this shirt."

"Dude, I forgot toilet paper. Good thing I have a left hand."
