Batman The Dark Knight Rises

Shall I spoil this for you?  NO!


I was lucky enough to receive a few tickets to the pre-screening of Batman The Dark Night Rises through the local radio station 97.1 ZHT.  After careful discussion I reluctantly chose to take my 9 year old daughter.  I feared this may be a poor decision with the chance of "romance" as is often found to entice the female patrons to such action packed "super hero" type flicks.  Turns out this was not a romance filled adventure, nothing too risque for her 9 year old eyes.  




 The movie opened HUGE, a very intense scene where we are immediately introduced to the villain of the newest Batman release.   Bane at one point refers to himself as "Gotham's reckoning" telling Batman "When Gotham is ashes you have my permission to die"  For the first time we see Batman meet a physically superior individual which he must continue to battle for the survival of the entire city of Gotham.

I struggled with this movie emotionally.  Alfred, "Master Wane's Caretaker" becomes very upset with Bruce at one point resigning his position stating "You are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father.  I swore to them that I would protect you and I haven't".  We see Bruce Wane (Batman) struggle physically from the beginning.  We get to know many characters struggles through childhood making them more personal and realistic.  We witness suffering and loss...  (I can't finish the sentence for fear you won't go watch the movie... YOU MUST). 


To the left... may I please introduce you to Detective John Blake.  A true "Good Guy"  Blake was also an Orphan who has fond memories of Batman from his childhood days at the boys orphan home which Bane Enterprises has funded for years.

The last character who truly deserves a great deal of attention and applause for her role- Anne Hathaway as Cat Woman.  Her role is introduced as she makes her way through the Wane manor posing as a maid and burglarises the safe in Wanes quarters- taking his mothers pearl necklace.  A major butt kicking gal with an attitude, completely capable of lowering the tone to a nice soft kitten purr.  As Batman rescues her from a most likely death she says to him "My mother warned me about getting into cars with strange men" to which he replies- "This isn't a car!"  


At moments the symphonic/orchestra background music was far louder than it should be making it difficult to hear the words being spoken.  I am sure it didn't help that I was sitting under a blown speaker that had the obnoxious buzz- but all in all I state that this is a movie most definitely worth going to see in the theater!  Action packed, twists and turns you never expect, fun and thrill- I WILL BE GOING TO SEE THIS AGAIN!  (Yes, it was that good)

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

By
posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like...

Where (Else) to Find My Writing

REGULARLY UPDATED Posted on 1/9/2020  - UPDATED 2/4/2025 MY FULL-LENGTH   NONFICTION DEBUT! BLACK SUNRISE ON PISS EARTH: FASCISM, NIHILISM, AND THE 21ST CENTURY OCCULT Black Sunrise on Piss Earth: Fascism, Nihilism, and the 21st Century Occult is a nonfiction, anti-fascist, punk rock, and no-holds-barred look at the role that nihilism and the postmodern occult have played in the development of fascist movements in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and elsewhere – a coordinated movement I call the Fascist Internationale. The manuscript’s title is a reference to Piss Earth 2025, a piece of fascist agitprop that I respond to, using my refutation as a framework for looking at the dangerous, deadly, and dumbass ideas undergirding everything from QAnon and Christian Identity to Nazi Satanist- worshipers the Order of Nine Angles and portions of the Asatru (Norse Pantheon worship) and chaos magick communities.

A Sinner's History of Utah: The Commercial Street Red Light District

By
posted on 8/12/2015 by the Salt City Sinner I moved from Utah to the American South as a teenager, and pretty quickly learned that if you hail from the Beehive State, there are a series of extremely dumb questions you will be asked when people first meet you that would not be asked of someone from, say, South Dakota or Maine.  “Are you Mormon?” is obviously the first one – and a pretty reasonable question, all things considered. That is usually followed up with some sort of question about polygamy, however, which is lazy and ignorant and gets old remarkably quickly. Sometimes I would be asked if one can buy alcohol in Utah. This is, again, a not entirely unreasonable thing to ask, especially since many of these interactions took place back in the days of private clubs and membership cards – but it did strike me as a little silly given that I was often asked about Utah and booze while going to college in Conway, Arkansas, which is a town located in a dry county where sales ...
