Weekend Update


This Friday a group of us all got together to celebrate my friend Geoff's birthday.  We went to the batting cages (he is a huge Red Sox fan), made dinner at his place, and went to a late showing of Batman.  We made a little surprise for Geoff.  We are always teasing him and calling him Geoff Groban because if that kid had longer hair, he could be a double for Josh Groban. (Geoff is on the back row, second from the right) So to surprise him, we all had t-shirts made that say, I'm a fan of Geoff Groban.  He got a big kick out of that.  Happy Birthday Geoff!

So...holy smokes Batman.  Get thee to a theatre and see this movie!  I really liked this movie and it lives up to all of the expectations.  Yes, this movie is very, very, very dark, but it also has some interesting discussions on morality and ethics, as well as what does it mean to be a hero.  The actors are all outstanding, Christian Bale is so very HOT, and Heath Ledger truly gives an incredible performance, literally the performance of a lifetime.  The creepiness scale on the Joker is off the charts.  I can't say enough that Heath Ledger created a truly creepy, villainous, sadistic, but sad character.

Now don't you try and steal my boyfriend. We all know that Christian Bale is mine.

Well, a girl can always dream. We could always have a knock down cat fight for him.
