Nice! I'm never going to be able to think of Veidt as anything else ever again. So does Ozymandias look in a mirror, smack his hands to his cheeks, and scream? Macaulay Culkin? Nice!

So does Ozymandias look in a mirror, smack his hands to his cheeks, and scream?

I'm glad that you're going out to read the book. The first time you read it, skip the pirate story and the written chapters and just read the main story. Then go back and read everything at once.

Whall, you should read it – it’s a good book.

Turnbaby, lucky you!

Grant, it’s even more faithful than that!

Sybil, if I drank, that would be the time to do it.

Laurie, I love that movie. I wish I was as cool as Buck.

TMWW, I think you’re lying to me.

Elizabeth, TDK was dark and depressing, but the Joker was so dynamic that it lifted the film from being depressing as a whole. I’m glad that you’re going out to read the book.

J from Ireland, because I’m an evil perverted bastard? :D

Poppy, people were disgusted? I loved the over-the-top violence.

Clayton, I didn’t put that much effort into it. If they didn’t want to watch what I was watching on TV, they could go amuse themselves!

Crystal, not really, no. It had no story or soul.

Ron, good thinking!

Clayton, but it also means that I have to wake up earlier, so I’m screwed either way.

SciFi Dad, I agree – I will not go on weekends to new movies. I go on the Friday before during the day or maybe the first Sunday showing.

That's why they make those 80-gallon soda cups. (I actually did have to pee twice, but they have a bar in the lobby and it was happy hour.) I don’t know why you’d need a catheter.

Also, though this comment is too late, but for future at any rate, take them to the local library, it takes time (that's key), and check out books, videos etc. Cheap way to entertain. Or, the other day we planted trees, its interactive, outdoors, takes time. Go to Home Depot, get a tree and supplies, plant away. The above pancakes are a great idea.

That sounded creepy, I'm with my 3 3/4 year old daughter. Also, legos, go buy Britt's kids a nice box of legos. And of course, lose the smurf.

This did not disappoint. I love it when a movie is so ridiculously violent that it makes me laugh out loud while everyone else around me is disgusted. This did not disappoint.
