Re: Expectations and Batman

Hi everyone,

I recently wrote about the sometimes disappointing clash between one's expectations of a film and the actual experience of the film.  I fretted a bit over the prospects for future summer features after "Prometheus" stomped its big stupid Noomi Rapace-wasting foot on my dreams.

I also wrote about how great it is when a movie defies your low expectations and, to the contrary, wins your heart.

What I didn't speak to was the thrill, the deep, heart-racing, exhilarating gratification, of a film that exceeds your sky-high hopes.

No spoilers, no further comment necessary, save:

This guy?
Doesn't disappoint.

Go see it!  Longer post coming when I know there's less of a chance of spoiling it for anyone.

Another Follow-Up to the Terrible Year Survival Guide

Hi guys,

So even though it appears (fingers crossed) that this rough year thing might be over with, I figure it can't hurt to throw in an occasional booster post for the Terrible Year Survival Guide (hereafter referred to as TYSG).

You just never know when someone out there needs a pick-me-up.

And also, why pass up the opportunity to disseminate youtube videos of BABY ANIMALS DOING CUTE THINGS?

Why indeed:


Happy Thursday!
