On location: the Oregon coast
Kevin has been visiting this week, and today we took a visit to Cannon Beach and Tillamook. Check out his photostream for some of the other shots, including a few of my ugly mug on the beach in front of Haystack Rock.
Finally saw Batman Begins, and it was most righteous. I keep thinking that Lindsey Lohan is in it instead of pre-clear Katie Holmes, so that's probably not a good thing. Not sure who could have done that role better, but I know there's somebody who could have brought some... gravitas to the role. And would wear a coat at the end, if you know what I mean.
One thing I particularly liked about the new film is the way they don't cut right to the money shot of Batman at the beginning—the pacing is deliberate and you anticipate the appearance almost as much as Bruce does. The hints of the sequel were also a fantastic touch. I was grinning like a little boy throughout a lot of movie.
Finally managed to get to the shop, too. (How I love time off.) Reviews when I've finished reading, but when two comics—Hellboy: The Island and Powers—can be read in under five minutes, it's not a good sign. OK, so I know I read faster than most people, but still. Powers is on really thin ice with me right now. Come back to the light, Bendis! We can work this out! Remember the good times? Like that time when you swore a lot?
