Oh god, my brain is so fried from much mindless entertainment.  Or is it?<\/p>\n<p><i>The Dark Knight<\/i><br \/>\nFinally.  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&#8217;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&#8217;t want to live in Gotham City, but hope is so natural for us&#8230;that superstition that hope will come is what keeps us at bay.<\/p>\n<p><i>Kung Fu Panda<\/i><br \/>\nChange 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&#8217;t Jackie Chan talk more?  All you have to do is believe. <\/p>\n<p><i>I Am Legend<\/i><br \/>\nWatched 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, <i>kill me if you know that I will turn into a zombie<\/i>.  But wait a minute, this wasn&#8217;t as good as <i>28 Days Later<\/i>.  I should see <i>The Omega Man<\/i> right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I watched three movies. Oh god, my brain is so fried from much mindless entertainment. Or is it?
