bethje and I finally saw Batman Begins. There was only one other person in the theater with us, and he was a guy who laughed loudly at the preview for The Pink Panther. I liked the film, and I thought it had good explanations for Batman's various accessories. At first, I wondered why there would be a cave full of bats beneath Wayne Manor, but they actually explained it in the movie, which is worth some points. I liked the Scarecrow as a villain, as well as how the plot came full circle in having the organization that trained Bruce Wayne end up being behind the plot to destory Gotham City. I think I understand what onib meant about the plot not making much sense as far the laws of physics go, but it didn't bother me too much. While the Batman series never seems to resort to giving characters magic powers and the like, there's a pretty significant fudge factor as far as what technology and chemistry can accomplish. Anyway, it was a good movie, and I'm glad I got to see it while it was still in theaters.
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention that they apparently weren't aiming for continuity with the other recent Batman movies, since they had a different guy kill Bruce's parents. I think the Joker killing them was something made up for the first Tim Burton Batman film, though, so maybe they were trying to establish a more comic-accurate continuity with Begins. Since I haven't actually read any of the Batman comics, though, I wouldn't know for sure.
After the movie, we took Beth's dog Dewey and cat Wally to the vet. The vet told us that most cats are left-handed (left-pawed?), which I'd never known before.
I feel like I should add something else to end this entry, but I can't think of anything. I did have some good pizza for dinner, so that's something, I suppose. So, yeah.
