Firefox decided to kill all my tabs I had open/saved (...well over one hundred tabs, seriously) so I apologize if I don't reply to things like I should. Going back and trying to figure out what I had open would be an impossible task. D:

Also, I forgot to write about it, but... Am I the only one who just couldn't get into The Dark Knight? I recognize that it was a well-made movie and all, but about a quarter of the way through it I lost much of my interest. I felt like the storytelling was too scattered and not cohesive enough, and a lot of the characters weren't introduced in a memorable enough way, so they would show up later in the movie and I would go "Who is that? I don't remember what significance they had at all." I'm normally great at following complicated movies, too, so I don't know why this one just didn't go over well with me.

I watched the rest of the movie, but I kept glancing at the clock for when it would be over and about three-quarters of the way through I really decided that I just couldn't get into it. That's not to say it was a bad movie, but just...not my type of movie. Maybe I should give up on superhero movies altogether. I have yet to see one that I've liked. No matter how critically acclaimed and loved by the audiences they are, and no matter how well-made, shiny, and well-directed they are, they all just bore me. .___.;

This story is awesome and hilarious. Just trust me on this and read it: http://bama.ua.edu/~acsellers/story.html

I know, that story is amazing! It's hilarious and somehow so gripping. XDDD I was trying to recount it to my family, but it's WAY funnier how he writes it all. I hope you enjoy the rest of it! :'D

I really dislike superheroes, but I really enjoyed The Dark Knight. I don't see most superhero movies.

I can definitely see how people would like it--it was nicely done, it just couldn't keep my interest for whatever reason. I almost wish I had been able to appreciate it more, but...oh well! Perhaps if I see it again someday I'll enjoy it more.

I saw Iron Man, the first two Spiderman movies, and other things I can't quite remember, and they just don't do it for me.

I think I only enjoyed it because of the Joker. Batman himself I don't care anything about.

Yes... it's only you. D:


Maybe super hero movies just aren't for you, since the ones you say you didn't like at all were all really well-put-together movies.

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

That's basically what I suspect, because I did recognize that they were good movies--I just couldn't really get into them. :/

You're not the only one. I haven't seen it, but I've heard quite enough about it to know I wouldn't like it (bad science always makes me rage, because you know they could have just taken the time to research this shit instead of making shit up), and I know my mate and my parents didn't like it either.
Plus, I usually get turned against things if I have to hear about how great it is every five minutes. :/ Which is a personal problem of mine, doesn't say anything about the movie, but still. :P

<sub>I HATE when Firefox does that, ughhh.

I'm not big on Superhero movies either. I did like TDK, but it's not one of my favourite films ever. It was better than a lot of superhero movies but not one of my omg!favourite films ever.</sub>

Yup, mostly enjoyed it for Heath Ledger. That itself made the movie much better.

...Firefox can actually (theoretically) handle 100+ tabs? O_o How in the world do you keep track of them all?

At least a large portion of my like for The Dark Knight came from internally yelling "ZOMG CHICAGO"

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

It can and does frequently! I'm an obsessive tab opener, hahaha. And it'll even save all 100+ of those tabs if I quit Firefox and boot them all up again. Granted it takes around three minutes, but still!
