Unfortunately still no Dark Knight, but "Bad Company" on the television menu: Chris Rock trying to act, (failing miserably), twin to a murdered secret agent, Anthony Hopkins the CIA mentor that trains "Kevin" (Rock) for the act. Pleasant flick, nothing more.
But: The terrorists who, according to the motley script, were ultimately planning on unleashing nuclear terror on New York via Grand Central Station, part of a large international network, they weren't Middle Eastern, as is the tradition for these films.
No. After one of them, a tall, sinister looking bald man called his accomplice to verify codes for a portable nuclear device, the grand revelation (to the viewer in the know) was made:
They were Greek, the nasty buggers.
For once, the script is on my side.
Dark Knight was very good! Not the masterpiece everyone makes it to be, but still thoroughly enjoyable. Ledger was sublime and Bale's Batman voice still as cheesy.
ReplyDeleteI also watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind today, which surprised me very pleasantly.
And... Greek terrorists? Watch out for the tzatziki gas!
Yesterday's fasoles might be more alarming yet, to quote that time-honoured joke.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear about Dark Knight. I'll probably be going this Friday, or over the weekend.
Hah, did I make a typo on Dark (K)night? Editing, they tell you.
