Watched Batman Begins with the Da last night. Great movie, as always. I'm fairly certain the Da enjoyed it because the snarky comments tapered off after a while and he just sat there, enjoying the movie.

hiyacynth, we're totally going to have to talk to your not-a-cousin-really Bruce and see about getting you one of those GPS systems for your car. If Jim Gordon, a Chicago Gotham native, had to use it to get from one place to another then you certainly deserve to have one.

Upon watching some deleted scenes on the RotS dvd I have come to the conclusion that the reason why Bail Organa and his wife never had children was that Bail was gay and his wife loved and supported him in his life style choice. Apparently the Old Republic was still a little backward on things like that and he never would have become a Senator if the truth had generally been known. Guess the Old Republic wasn't the perfect realm of justice and dignity that it prided itself on being.

Either that or Jimmy Smits was purposefully camping it up to get back at Grand Overlord Lucas. I have a feeling that Georgie Boy has issues with teh gay and teh slash. Not that I know anything for sure, let's just call it intuition or 'The Force' and leave it at that. ;-)

Did some raking in the backyard, a definite downside to having to live with one's folks, again. It was so gorgeous before I took the rake out, golden above and golden below. Then I went out and cut a wide swath in the fair carpet and got dog crap on my shoes. Aaaah, the joys of home ownership.

La la la Oooo! Shiny! *wanders away aimlessly*

Georgie Boy has issues with teh gay and teh slash

Georgie managed to shoot the most daring unintentionally (?) slashy scene I've ever seen in a blockbuster movie. I mean, the Anakin-pledging-himself- to-Sidious' -teachings scene... The kneeling, the swollen lips, Palpatine purring... You should have seen me at my first viewing, gaping at the screen in disbelief.

Apparently you can get standard GPS systems at Best Buy for around $30. My archaeology professor has a little hand-held one that he brought to class, and which he swears will never leave his person as it saves him from getting lost. :)

I wonder....
When George Takei came officially out of the closet the other week I read some article on gay people in Star Trek - mostly how there weren't any and fits between Rodenberry and Piller/Berman and how Roddenberry (notice how I keep spelling his name differently...) wanted more openly gay, positive towards homosexuals stuff and they didn't but he was getting senile and then died and it was interesting.

Funny given slash claims its roots in Kirk/Spock that, if you think about it, sci-fi seems remarkably empty of non-standard sexual relationships.

Enjoy the shiny

We're totally going get my not-a-cousin-really Bruce to do a lot of things for me. ;-)

George Lucas has a problem with the English language and directing anything with a blood pulse.

I love the look of Batman Returns, but it annoys me that it's muddled my DC-city/real life comparisons. All this time I thought (along with Sufjan Stevens) that Chicago was Metropolis, and that Gotham was, well, Gotham (New York).

But here comes this movie and then I read that the real cities actually do exist in the post-Crisis DC universe as well as the more famous fictional ones. Grr, argh. That just ruins everything for me. Makes me almost embrace Marvel's insistence on being contemporary and topical even when they say only four years passed between Giant-Size X-Men #1 and E is For Extinction in NEW X MEN. yeah right.

An interesting theory :-)

Look what we've done to you. You used to be such a nice girl.
