Ya’ know, it’s rare that I need to do any kind of research for this strip, but I decided that it was important enough to actually at least KNOW the date of the Salem Witch “Trials”.
That said, let me switch gears a little bit here to talk about what I did last night. I watched the best comic-book movie EVER: BATMAN BEGINS! This is it, people… the movie fans of Batman have been waiting for. This movie is spot on perfect. Better even, than my former favorite Bat-Flick, the animated BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM.
But more than just a geek-fest, this is a ligitimate GOOD movie. Just taken as it is, with very little suspension of disbelief needed. I’m in love with every aspect of this movie, and seriously need to see it a few more times. However, a word of caution to this tale: Parents, you might want to cover the tots eyes during a few scenes. Especially when the masked villain, SCARECROW, douses folks with his fear toxin. The images we see through peoples eyes of Batman himeslf are downright squirm-worthy. (Just imagine what Batman would look like to you hopped up on a fear inducing hallucinogen. Not a fun sight.)
That said, it’s an amazing film with great acting, a tight script, beautiful visuals and an actual PLOT. This is the movie of the summer for my money now. I might like this even more than Star Wars, Episode III now.
