OK...I've been a bit busy (OK, super-busy) lately, but I haven't forgotten about you all (still out there?). I'm here to proudly announce that I finally got to see the oh-so-yummy Christian Bale and and the tragically brilliant Heath Ledger in the latest Batman film. I know I'm probably the last person on the planet to have seen it (again..super-busy), but I gotta say it was one of the few films that I've ever seen that proved to be better than everyone said it would be.
That's a difficult thing to do, as I've always found that good movies are (sadly) bound by my seemingly immutable law of expectation-- the higher the expectation, the more likely I am to find the movie disappointing. Oh there's an upside (happily) to the law too ...strangely, I've also found that that works in reverse--I've had friends tell me a movie was total crap and then gotten around to seeing it on DVD and thinking to myself ... hey that movie wasn't so bad...I kinda liked it. Anyway...I digress...
Even as my disbelief was being willingly suspended and the movie began to transport me to the dark world of Gotham City, that little chunk of subconscious responsible for interpreting Rorschach inkblot tests hung on and worked its magic in the background. As I left the theater, I couldn't help but turn the conversation (After a few "That was friggin' amazing"s) to the magically addictive sport of teasing allegory from the obvious with my friend.
Nothing too, too deep--mainly fun-- but did get me thinking ( a sure sign of trouble to come), so when I got a chance today, I decided to entertain myself in PhotoShop (it's almost meditative) and the pic above is a teaser of what my monkey-bars, jungle gym of a mind came up with... more tomorrow...a
Until then...tell me, what do you see?

OK, I'm really not trying to be crass, but I openly admit this is what I first saw: a monster with a tiny head, short skinny arms, a huge chest, fat legs with huge feet, and a REALLY BIG shlong. Yeah, I know. I need help. LOL
Btw, you're not the last one -- I still haven't seen it and I'm totally developing an inferiority complex.
I see a giant looking down at me with a ram's head.
Batman is so sexy.
I don't know if you'll know what I am talking about but I see Shishomoru (spelling?), the dog demon brother of Inuyasha from the anime of the same name.
And, yeah, Batman was cool although I thought that hype was too much.
Very clever.
I see a dragon wearing high heels. What does that say about me??
nice! sarcastic with a touch of realism! good job!
Yes, luckily, you are so humble = hah!
You crack me up, and hence, I've left something for you at my blog.
Tag you're it!
Your Barackman it's very COOL :)
And your writing, i love it !
Hi.
This is one of the cards of Rorschach test. The father card, to be exact.
Cheers!
ok im confused...Obama is not black - he is half white - the first time the us has a bi racial president. shouldnt that be celebrated instead of yet again playing the race card? the fact that he represents both black and white should be the key issue and not that he is the 'first black president' - why is race always a factor here?
