Today I watched three movies. Oh god, my brain is so fried from much mindless entertainment. Or is it?

The Dark Knight
Finally. In IMAX. Seems so awkward for the Katie-to-Maggie transition, but Maggie is more believable. Could not understand half of the dialog due to Christian Bale’s raspy voice as Batman and the too-good speaker system. Got lost in plot halfway through movie, figured out by the end. True internal human conflict is seriously the worst conflict of all. I wouldn’t want to live in Gotham City, but hope is so natural for us…that superstition that hope will come is what keeps us at bay.

Kung Fu Panda
Change of pace. Less gripping of the chair arms from fear that someone will die. I like pandas. Want to rub tummy. Made me want to eat noodle soup. I thought the tigress and Tai Ling would be a pair, descending from the same family of cats. Why didn’t Jackie Chan talk more? All you have to do is believe.

I Am Legend
Watched the first half on Friday and had it paused right before a scary part. Felt interested and intrigued enough today to continue. Initially started watching it while I was slicing strawberries in the kitchen. Not such a good idea. I said, kill me if you know that I will turn into a zombie. But wait a minute, this wasn’t as good as 28 Days Later. I should see The Omega Man right?
