Batman

I felt like posting today. Not that I have much to say.
I did see "Eat Pray Love" though, and I didn't hate it. It wasn't as good as the book (are they ever?) but I didn't hate it.
Ketut wasn't how I expected him to be.
Do you know what I'm impatient for??
Batman.

I'm so pumped. Have you played the first one?? If not, go play it. October can't get here fast enough for the next one. It seems as if October is the date that I'm waiting for...
Life will change! We're moving (nope, don't know where yet for sure - may just be across town again) so life will change no matter what, but it feels like I'm just hanging on a little bit at a time for October to roll around.
And I really can't wait for next year either:
The Dark Knight Rises
July 2012
No poster yet. :(
I'll just have to settle for comics for now.

Batman #709

A little more on books, and a bit on movies

I just finished Eat, Pray, Love and I did a full review of it on my Goals Blog. I loved it. It was amazing. This woman goes on a year long journey to heal herself after a bitter divorce and she learns so much in the process. It's great.
Anyway, as I was winding down that post, I started thinking about the fact that I'm about to go watch the movie "Eat, Pray, Love" and how much I hope that Julia Roberts does the Liz character justice - and then I started thinking about how other actresses did NOT do justice to the character of Elizabeth that they played.
Example #1:

I usually LOVE Keira Knightley, but man, she was NOT Elizabeth Bennet.
Example #2:

Yet another failed attempt at Lizzy. Ugh. I don't know why I hated it so much, other than the fact that Elizabeth Bennet has a certain quality about her and neither of these actresses captured her.
On the other hand...

There will never be a better Pride and Prejudice, so I hope everyone saves themselves some money and just stops trying.
And on the topic of Colin Firth...
That reminds me of his recent film:

Haven't seen it yet? You must. It was the best movie I have ever seen. Seriously. And they came out with a PG-13 version that either just came out in theaters or is about to. No excuses!!!

So, remember, now on your to-do list from Anne is:
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
"The King's Speech"

Ready...GO!
