monthly email to myself

Hello to a new month!

February is here, and though I can’t hear birds singing, I can see
sunshine and squirrels. My goal for the month is to not tip over the
apple cart (occasional grumpy rattling of the apple cart is totally
allowed).

Love and hugs,
Marci

movie review: The Dark Knight Rises

I mostly knew that this movie was part 3 of 3 (or more, whatever), but I didn’t figure not seeing part 2 would make much difference. Turns out it sort of did? Though I actually think that not knowing what people were talking about made me enjoy the movie more than I would have otherwise.

Overall, I thought it was better than I expected. Maybe even much better than I expected, but my expectations were really, really low. I was disappointed that Miranda turned out to be evil, but I really liked Catwoman’s mask/ears/glasses combo. So clever, and stylish too!

Even from a suspending disbelief, comics!verse perspective, the movie didn’t make much any sense. It actually made more sense if you assumed Alfred hired the Inception team to snap Bruce out of his depression/deathwish funk, and the whole thing was an elaborate dream setup.

But yes, better than I expected, though LONG. I would like to read all the fanfic about the five months the city was in lockdown. ALL THE FANFIC.
