Absurd Singularity

Despite making some horrible movies, Angelina Jolie's got the action hero thing down. So, did Brad Pitt pull it off convincingly, or did it look like he'd easily get his butt kick by her?

BTW, saw Batman Begins, and was prepared to dislike it because of all the hype. Although it was cliched and the action scenes were weak, it was a pretty good movie overall and easily the best Batman movie (I never thought the first one with Tim Burton/Michael Keaton -- which seemed to be a fanboy favorite -- was all that great).

What? You're talking about Hollywood's personification of Achilles himself, he did fine. ;-)

Batman Begins I thought was quite good. We saw it at an IMAX theater and didn't get that great seats so the fighting scenes were a big blur but I thought overall it was pretty great. I don't know whether it was because it was an IMAX theater or what but Christian Bale was HUUUUGGGEEEE!!! Those scenes where he's in bed topless, those biceps were gigantic. One thing I found kinda weird though was he has a tapering chin but when he had the mask on he suddenly had a really fat chin. Didn't look so good. Anyway, I think they should stop switching people and stick with this Batman line, they did a great job.

Oh, one thing about the original Batman movie with Michael Keaton. I don't remember much of it but I think he had a creepy, psycho look that matches what Batman is supposed to be like. Batman's not supposed to be that nice of a guy, a little loopy even. Keaton didn't have the physique I think but he had the face for it. He probably would make a good Joker I think.
