who went to go see The Dark Knight Rises and was bored to tears? Well, maybe that’s a little strong, but my seat had an edge and I definitely wasn’t on it. The weather in SF today was a bit crappy, overcast and not that warm, so I decided that today was a day for indoor pootling, followed by an afternoon matinee. Allowed myself a bit of a lie-in (no travel this weekend – huzzah!) before getting up around 10am, getting round to doing the tidying up I couldnt be arsed to do yesterday and then rewarding myself by immersing myself in the Olympics for a couple of hours. Team GB had a kick-ass day today, winning 6 gold medals – alas, having to watch them courtesy of NBC and the incessant sodding adverts, the only gold i got to see in real time was the 10,000m race. Its at times like this i do pine for the Beeb. Nevertheless, it was still incredibly exciting – i was screaming at my telly – God only knows what the neighbours thought. Seeing lots of FB posts from my mates who are actually at the Olympics in London – it must be such an incredible atmosphere, so very envious of them!
But, back to SF – not such a terrible place to be. Anyway, I head off down to the Metreon for the 4pm IMAX showing of The Dark Knight Rises and i just didn’t think it was all that exciting. It was too long and all too predictable. Even the twist at the end, you could see coming a mile off. Don’t get me wrong – it was still worth seeing (and Christian Bale is my own personal visualization of Christian Grey) and the sound quality was a-maz-ing, but i watched it as an observer, rather than getting totally caught up in it and immersed in the story. As I watched, i also had this recurring urge to feed Anne Hathaway. Surely its not legal to look that hot in a leather cat-suit?
