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 people comment. 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 adult. 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.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
