Yeah, it was amazing. Go see it right now. And I mean right now. Even the earliest shows of the day (11:00 and 11:30) were sold out, and the 12:20 show was packed! In the afternoon!
My only fault with the movie was that the continuity was somewhat disrupted because Katie Holmes didn't return as Rachel Dawes, and there just didn't seem to be much magnetism between Bale and Gyllenhaal, but what can you do. She had "scheduling conflicts." I heard rumors that Tom Cruise (who I usually try to stick up for, but not after his idiocy recently) pressured her to make the decision.
What a dumb bitch for turning down this movie to do Mad Money, which even my mom said was one of the dumbest movies she has ever seen.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
