These two gawker links are interesting. I get the feeling that just because the factcheckers can play and adam gopnik's kid can play, doesn't mean the factchecker's kids can play.
Ok, I can't say I wasn't interested in those, but how exactly did we get there from here?
It's not an unreasonable presumption that someone who was interested in defamer would be interested in gawker.
Ogged,
I originally thought your link was to gawker. Thus, I thought I could fake that I found my links by clicking through your link. Once I formed my intention to post, finding out your link was to instead to defamer wasn't enough to restrain me from posting.
So, a friend of mine who hadn't seen Batman wanted to go to the matinee. I had work to do, so naturally I blew it off and went to see Batman again.
1) I did not notice the first time just how bad katie holmes was, especially compared to the rest of the cast. Though I must say that part of it was the writing for her character.
2) I notced this time specifically what was wrong with Christian Bale's batman. a) His head moves too much. It takes away from the stern, forboding grace which Batman should exude. b) In his attempt to alter his voice, his mouth is all over the place. Way too much mouth movement; it's annoying and silly. Batman, it hardly bears pointing out, should not look silly while talking.
3) Despite my first impression, I think the fight scenes actually show the fight continuosly (excepting, of course, when the fight goes on off screen). It's simply the moving camera makes it hard to see one scene flowing into the next. This is actually reminiscent of a style of drawing fight scenes in some mangas I've read, so I wonder if that's where the idea came from.
4) The last conversation b/w Gordon and Batman refers to the ongoing chaos in the Narrows. I guess they didn't drop the ball quite as much as I thought they had.
1: So then, who's going to organize the Unfogged softball team?
Naturally this will have to be set up so as to retain posters' anonymity, and to avoid any need for travel. But that can all be worked out later. First, what's the policy on kids?
I have mad softball-organizing mojo. Unfortunately, as a player I'm all field no hit. (Actually, at many levels of skill my hit-a-grounder-to-short-and-run-hard strategy is surprisingly effective.)
I thot the New Yorker coach's response was pretty classy to what was a pretty annoying letter, but I like Gopnik. (I also kinda hope that factcheckers are too young to have ambulatory kids.)
Yeah, I also liked the coach's letter. But I'm a sucker fo the New Yorker.
