lifted and floored
Saw The Dark Knight on Sunday, and it’s still in my thoughts.
A lot.
I know it’s easy to hop on the bandwagon and say it’s a great movie, but it really might be one of the better “films” I’ve ever seen. It fucked me up like The Departed did, left me drained in a fulfilled but depressed way. Not just because of Heath Ledger’s incredible take on the Joker, but also because who...or, better yet, “what” won at the end.
This was not a gentle movie in any sense, especially in terms of its brutal performances, many plot twists and overwhelming sound and cinematography - it hit me hard and often. But, in doing so, it moved me.
I really, really wonder how they’re going to follow this up.
wow
Fantastic. And wonderful. All the crunch-related stress that’s been building over the past few weeks just melted away while watching...
Hot damn I love Pixar.

Yeah, it was crazy. And
amazing. And moving. And overwhelming. In fact, I
really enjoyed watching the movie at the time - the
visuals and music were stunning - but it wasn't until
several hours later that I realized how much I loved
it. Like, you have to spend some time processing
everything you were just assaulted with before being
able to appreciate its greatness.
So, the next day I bought the soundtrack on iTunes
(direct iTunes link), and have been
listening to it like mad.
Oh, while on iTunes I noticed they carried a few
Yoko Kanno CDs as well, so I picked
up this:
CM Yoko (direct iTunes link) is all
commercial music (like, for TV commercials), but
it has super neat (and incredibly varied) stuff.
One of the tracks, though, is crazy good. I really
want to know what kind of advertisement
"Exaelitus" was for...
Also, holy crap, I'm already over 80 hours for this
week. Yay for crunch. Game is going great though!
