I'm so excited, because I'm going to go see The Dark Knight tonight, for the third time. It hadn't even occurred to me that it was still playing, but a friend of mine hasn't seen it yet and noticed it was there, so there it is.
There, now I am back from seeing the movie. And you wouldn't even know, except that I'm telling you! I wore my cool Batman hat, and even brought a little Batman action figure with me in my pocket. (I didn't take it out except during the movie in the dark, because I was afraid my friend would make fun of me.) Incidentally, the movie is still officially AWESOME. I mean, wow.
Saw some great previews, too. The trailer for Watchmen is incredible incredible (Dr. Manhattan looks fittingly magnificent and frightening, and Rorschach fittingly bad-ass and cool). The new James Bond movie seems like it will be pretty cool. I think Daniel Craig is such an interesting take on the character. He's much more rough and tumble, and he has a scary edge to him that seems more fitting than the somewhat untarnished flippancy of previous actors. And of course, there's The Day the Earth Stood Still. What can I say, except Klaatu barada nikto?
Earlier this evening I once again saw a particular commercial for The Olive Garden that always makes me chuckle. There's a bunch of people sitting at a table in the restaurant, and there's some sort of deal where you choose exactly which kind of pasta you want and exactly which sauce, and maybe something else. One fellow says that he's "done the math" on the pasta, and cites the number of possible combinations of pasta and sauce. His friend replies, "You do the math, I'll do the alfredo!"
I absolutely cannot wait until the next time I'm talking about math with someone, and the opportunity arises for me to utter this phrase, and I actually remember to do it. What an utterly magnificent non sequitur!
