3/12/2012.
You know, I’ll happily confess, I’ve started this post with the date: as I’m intent on STARTING this particular post at something of a late hour on a Monday night.
With, frankly, the intention of finishing it off, tomorrow.
And with the EXTRA intention … of something else that’s ACTUALLY slipped my mind, at this point.
Oh, Yes!
The intention of making sure I’d tell you of how impressed I was — comparatively — with a film I’ve rented from iTunes, tonight.
Frankly … ? I’m willing to bet you’ve had a good guess at what the film actually is.
The 2012 film that is the Christopher directed The Dark Knight Rises.
I’m possibly impressed with this …

And please note I say possibly. But let me try and explain the film to you.
Set some eight years after The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises opens with a charity event run by the Wayne Foundation: one that the man himself doesn’t attend, as he’s been in seclusion for quite some time.
After both the death of Harvey Dent, AND pulling out of a Wayne Enterprises deal into clean fusion energy, on learning the reactor could’ve been used as a weapon.
That changes.
As a valuable necklace is stolen from a safe owned by Bruce … by a cat burglar called Selina Kyle.
A cat burglar who then sells Bruce’s lifted fingerprints to a Wayne business rival, called John Dagget: a rival who’s hired the terrorist, Bane, to do a lot of dirty work for him.

Hmmm …
Which is actually simplifying the plot by quite a hell of a lot …
The Dark Knight Rises is a rich piece of work: possibly too rich for me, although it is a beautifully made piece of work. Frankly, I think Nolan and co are incapable of making a bad Batman movie.
Personally, though … ?
Personally, I have to admit, I found this a stunner, but not as much of a stunner as The Dark Knight, although that could be just well be Heath Ledger’s death leaving its mark.
Whatever …
I’ll leaves you seeing stars …
The Dark Knight Rises★★★☆

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
