A Couple of "Finally"s

I finally saw Batman Begins.

It's not just that I absolutely loved it... it's not just that it was incredibly fanfreakintastic... it's also that it was.... completely satisfying.

I'm not going to review or dissect it (I'm sure I could out-type your attention spans on the subject). But I will say it was a movie about the hero and not the villain, and that's just the beginning of where it set itself apart.

------------------------

And on an unrelated genre:
I finally saw Finding Neverland.

It was great.

I was a little surprised.

I resent that it was marketed as a story about an affair. Sex did not motivate any part of its plot. Love and imagination drove the story.

It was refreshing to watch a movie that acted like there might be a difference.

Haven't seen Batman Begins - I'm looking forward to renting it though.

Have seen Finding Neverland. It was even better the second time around. I can honestly say that I was mesmerized as if...as if I went to Neverland.

Finding Batman Begins...

something I (yes, me-I) have yet to do. can you believe it? would really like to see it on the big screen (and i don't mean 36")

Neverland found its way on my blockbuster queue a long while back but we (yes, me-we) are still trying to get to it like a buried treasure of...well just a buried treasure

on an mostly unrelated note i finally saw the dawn of the dead remake. it was sweet. not in a romantic way. and i thought of you of course. also not in a romantic way. i save that for my favorite romzomcom "shaun of the dead".

sorry, i should have just emailed you...well i hadn't posted a comment in a while so...welcome back me! (yes, I-me)

Amazing. It's blog spam. I had no idea such a thing existed.

Re: Blogspam. Am convinced there is some type of search software out there (will Google do it?) that searches blogs for keywords. Certain words attract certain readers.

Hence people searching for blogs with keyword "fanfreakintastic" for instance, would be referred to your site and all other blogs in which that word appears.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, it was just yesterday I noticed blog spam on someone else's blog and thought... whew I'm glad I haven't had to deal with it.
I guess I thought too soon. I notice it was several of the same spams too... bummer.
I am thrilled to hear from all of you (spammers excluded), I was worried my delinquency in blogging may have discouraged your visits.

Finally! I felt the hope burn in me when I read the words:

I review that are proven to work to attract women.

I have a feeling that when I understand what that means... I'll understand the meaning of life.

Alright, I've deleted several of the offending spam comments. I've left one, because I commented on the comment. And I'm making this comment so that everyone's comments on the mostly now deleted comments... will still make some sense. Hopefully.

Haha! It's really pretty funny to read ALL of these comments at the same time.

This blog is a keeper.

any time, in any movie i have seen, they start doing that "i do believe in faeries, i do, i do" i get a king-sized lump in my throat. and that little kid with the gigantic tears in his eyes... sakes alive.

right on about Batman Begins.

blog spammers. right? i got a comment from a shoe maker once because i mentioned their shoes in my blog. they invited me to go to their site and write about their shoes. someone gets paid, money i assume, to do this. remarkable.
