So gentlemen, that's how it is. Until Grissom, uh, resurfaces, I'm the acting President, and I say starting with this anniversary festival, we run this city to the ground.

Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile!

Stop the press, who is THAT?

Think about the future!

I made you, but you made me first!

Your new avatar puts a smile on my face.

I at least buy Maggie as "Rachel"; with Katie, I just can't even buy her as a character in the movie. I guess if I must be honest with myself, I really don't care for Rachel's character anyways. I do enjoy the plot stuff that was done with her/Dent/Bruce regarding the rescue choice and such, but that's really it. I have to agree with you about how Rachel treated Bruce, too.

I think I'm just frustrated that these movies are so near perfect, yet there's just a tiny bit that just misses the mark.

So, I decided to have a Nolan-Batman marathon this past weekend. I actually didn't make it to the third due to time, but I've watched it about 10 times since it came out. I think it safe to say that it's still pretty fresh on my mind.

So, I think the one glaring mistake from all three of these movies to make them just near perfect is: Katie Holmes. She just had no business playing any kind of character in a Batman film, let alone a love interest of Bruce Wayne. Her acting in the movie was so flat, even for her. There was little to no chemistry between her and Bruce, and

I'm doing good. Just trying to keep the grades up, and having fun. Batman comes out December 4th!!!
