Dark Knight

TL;DR version

Dark Knight is a very solid movie.

I especially like this reinvention of the Joker. The writing and performance for it are excellent.

If you like gritty action movies, catch it in theaters.

Minor Complaints

I wasn't 100% sold on Harvey Dent. I don't think the writing was there to make it work -- felt like there were too many jumps at the end, probably a lot of character development left on the cutting room floor. They should have saved him for a different movie. 90 minutes of Batman vs. Joker would have been better.

I didn't like the "cell phone" bit at the end for a couple reasons. (1) forced Freeman to get preachy/topical, and (2) it's just terribad science. I didn't like the "microwave" bits in Batman Begins for similar reasons.

I agree with this quote from Broken scope on Slashdot:

Never has a simple writing implement been used to set the tone of a movie so effectively.

Superhero Supervillain

If you could be a superhero or supervillain, which would you be?

Good or Evil:
Name:
Powers:
Battle Cry:
Description:

Zombie Survey

(A) One weapon

Choose wisely!

More 3D Ideas

I'm pretty satisfied with my simple cartoon guy model, so I want to build up a library of textures/models for it.

I'm thinking about basic RPG staples, so:

Clothing
- Cloth Armor (peasant clothes)
- Leather/Hide Armor
- Chain/Ring Mail Armor
- Plate Armor
- Ninja Armor
- Samurai cloth
- Samurai splint mail
- Wizard robe

Melee Weapons
- Dagger
- Shortsword
- Longsword (already done)
- Mace (1H, 2H)
- Hammer (1H, 2H) (Sledge already done)
- 2H Sword
- Katana (already done)

Ranged Weapons
- Shortbow
- Longbow
- Crossbow

Telecom Immunity

I don't really care about this law being passed to grant retroactive immunity to Telecoms. For those not keeping up, this has to do with AT&T, etc, allowing the govt to wiretap domestic calls.

I don't know why people are intent on blaming the Telecoms. Can't expect private companies to always stand up against the government. The telecoms were in a lose-lose situation, or did not second-guess the FBI.

We should be upset at the real culprits, our intelligence agencies. You know, the guys who demanded a tap in the first place.
