I've never watched Tim Burton's 'Batman' before, but it was on Instant Netflix, so I decided to try it. I like the new films, but I'm not a raving fan, so I thought my critique might be interesting. Hm. *presses play*

.....Open with the stupidest tourist in the world, followed by red-eyed muggers. Does Batman really have nothing better to do than go after muggers? ....and he didn't even get their money back!

Harvey Dent is Lando Calrissian. Jack as...himself? Cue the sexist reporter! Cue Kim...and her prom dress. Sixteen minutes into the movie and we've seen a few seconds of Batman, but no Bruce Wayne. I like that the benefit is for a party and not for, ya know, starving children or medical aide. /)_- Alfred drops a hint big enough to squash Kim's dress ruffles.

"Shoot to kill. Know what I mean?"

How could anyone possibly NOT know what he means?! xDDD

Michael Keaton is soooo short and has crazy eyebrows. xD I love Kim and all, but...Gah. Her hair. I would have preferred fingerwaves throughout the entire movie for her. She has so much hair and it's crimped. *cuts at and makes it look not so frizzy* And ew, she's clingy. Super clingy.

Yeah, okay, that was dumb.

Meg's Magical Holiday Spirit Day

Today I went and saw 'The Nutcracker' for the first time in many years. My mom and I used to go every Christmas when I was a kid. This production was SO good and I already can't wait to see it again next year. When I came home, Adam surprised me with a Christmas tree! Our first. I finally have some Christmas spirit and it's a wonderful feeling. <3

Let's just get this out of the way - I think Katherine Heigl is a beautiful, strong woman and I love beautiful, strong women. I think there should be more of them! However, I do have a problem with her bashing 'Knocked Up' for its portrayal of women and then continually doing movies that portray women negatively. Like this flick. Okay, she's a producer, but she also seems to be kind of like...a bitch. Almost like her 'Knocked Up' character. It's the same fun-loving guy vs. the uptight career woman. Wasn't that her problem with 'Knocked Up'?

Kudos to Gerard Butler, though. He looks like he had nothing but fun doing this movie. I just bet that we will see some waves from Team Katherine about this movie though.

I keep trying to use my journal more and I keep failing. /)_o

New comic today. Lots of homework. Watching my Netflix later, I think we're getting Deep Space Nine and Stargate, third season.

*runs around in a craze*

I'm in Charlotte at my parent's house. Fun Halloween, better than the previous two, and that's no offense to my boyfriend or the dull trouble we seem to get into on Halloween.

*Rant*

One thing that bothers me is that Hollywood likes to take perfectly good foreign films and remake them. Why do we need an Americanized 'The Grudge' or 'The Orphanage'? Instead...why can't American viewers learn to like foreign films and read subtitles? The rest of the bloody world has to read subtitles. I think instead of destroying lovely foreign films, we should read the subtitles and enjoy the art and message of the film. Excuse me for saying, but, only rednecks can't read subtitles. I think these remakes have to do with the need to put a big name in the film so that viewers will cough up the ridiculous charge to see it. Viva la Films!

The comic isn't really about voting, but it has a serious message today that relates to being active. I need to buy an FTP program so I can do more to my website than just update the comic and I JUST ALMOST PEED MY PANTS! I saw my pleco hanging upside down and thought it was dead for two seconds, but apparently it was just getting a tricky angle on my mountain cave decoration. His name shall now be Tony Hawk. Whew, Tony Hawk lives. I love all my fish. Nothing bad should ever happen to Megh's fish! =_=

I had an interview with Ulta today. I think it went well...They seemed to like me? Uhm, plus to having a cosmetology license and sales experience? I'd be making more money, definitely more money, with a mega discount and lots of free products. Also, I could have cheap, awesome hair again.

It's not that I mind being a poor college student with poor college student hair and clothes, but going to that from a cosmetologist awesomeness...it was kind of hard. :/ Poor me.

*goes to make sure Tony Hawk is alive*

Okay, he's fine.

I hope I get that job. Really, really hope.

I say watch this!

Penny and Aggie

I admit, I love this comic. I read it for Aggie and her sassy friends. However, I am really...really...really... tired of the plot going on in the comic. I hope it ends soon. I used to like Karen, but I can't stand her plot to destroy Penny and I hate Karen's boyfriend, Marshall. I can understand the need to be the queen bee, but what. the. hell. You don't set people up as rapists to get what you want! Obviously. Then Marshall is all 'Karen had it so hard yadda yadda yah.' On one hand, he's not listening that his girlfriend is out to destroy the world. On the other hand, who can blame him? Why believe Aggie when he's got Karen sucking on his dick? I hope Karen and Penny get what is coming to them and long live Aggie!
