The Dark Knight

What do I say; I'm not a Batman fan, not in the least bit. So this movie was never on my cine-dar. I skipped it for two weeks and then gave in to a close friend's enthusiastic suggestion of a "Must watch". In retrospect I conveniently forgot that "close friend" is a most avid Batman fan!! Moronic of me!

Joker! Joker! Joker! That's all that matters. Christian Bale makes me go "Mmmmm" (remember 3:10 to Yuma?). but not even his ultra husky voice made me long for Batman to reappear on the screen. To be fair the action is good, the underlying psychology is powerfully potent and that's where the goodness stops.
I just can't imagine the superhero getting into a sentimental scene with his EX-girlfriend, who is incidentally dating the Greek-God-Good-Boy-Harvey-Dent, when the city is on the brink of anarchy. That's a Joke!

An obvious must-watch for Batman fans; more so for Heath Ledger fans and non-fans... but otherwise ... wait for Mandrake in 2009.

Weather challange

The rains have been coming down right since early morning. Today's weather has been so much against what I've seen past 2 weeks. Rain all day, almost no sun rays. It's quite dark inside the house too. I've been planning to walk to the gym but the rain just doesn't allow me to step out.
Add to that the news channel has started sending out weather alarms. I hear thundering nearby. That means lightening! The alarms mention cloud-to-ground lightening, so the thundering does sound ominous.
Few minutes back a bolt of lightening was so close and near that the room lit up!
I'm a bit apprehensive about flash floods and lightening.
I've been hearing car security alarms going off in the vicinity; effect of the lightening. Reminds me of similar events in SunCity :-)

But still, can't deny that I'm worried... and apprehensive.
