Just saw Dark Knight...

I should have studied biology instead. Apart from the one bit with the prisoner on the ferry, I think I would have enjoyed studying more than I enjoyed the movie. It was too long, disjointed, unoriginal, overblown, and Heath Ledger wasn't that great. I'm glad I didn't wait for the theater run and pay money for it. I have no idea what everyone was so excited about.

On the plus side, it's been raining all day, so I got to jump in puddles on the way back to my dorm. So there's that.

heh. i got home last night, and my babysitting friend was watching the Dark Knight at our house. Needless to say, i stayed up with her until it was over. Which was, basically, forever. I got there right before the one dude got set on fire, and we both figured the movie would soon end. But, no, an eternity later, the conclusion was entirely unsatisfying.
Add to my gripes the widely variable volume, which meant sometimes it was too loud, and other times you couldn't hear, the annoying way they dicked around with Batman's voice, and the fact that it was so DARK (from a lighting perspective) and DARK (from an emotional perspective.

I don't know what i would think if i had watched it from the beginning, but, now i'm not sure i will be able to make myself.
