Normally we’re not people who are up incredibly late, but when there’s a movie we know will deliver, we’re willing to do it! We went to the midnight showing of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, last night. Did it deliver you might ask?? YES, yes it did!I won’t spoil anything, just want to thank Christopher Nolan for deciding that the Batman series needed a little re-doing. If you haven’t seen Batman Begins, definitely look into it and then follow it with this one, they are amazing.

I was also very surprised with the hundreds and hundreds of people also watching the midnight showing. I hate when I pay $10 for a movie only to have the experience ruined by people who want to talk through the whole thing. But last night, when the first credit came on, everyone cheered, then were silent for the entire movie, no cell phones or anything, it was amazing. Everyone was so respectful of each other (either that or tired). All in all, great movie experience and well worth my $10!

If you saw it, what did you think?

One thing that was interesting about marrying my husband and starting a videography business is that he is a “PC” guy and I’m a “Mac” girl. Our friends joke about how we are even able to get along with such differences. Well, we’ve managed and all joking aside…whatever people think about apple products, at least they have smokin’ commercials!! I generally hate commercials but apple has great ideas…the mac vs. pc continuous ones have been punchy and fun, the ipod ones are artsy and modern, the iphone ones made me want an iphone…bad…and I absolutely love the newest one. I saw it during So You Think You Can Dance? I like Coldplay too so maybe that’s part of it, but I just think that this commercial is really well done, good song, great visuals.

enjoy!!

We don’t have tons of time to watch TV and we really can’t stand commercials, but here are some of our guilty pleasures…with some explanations 😉

Lost: Well, that show doesn’t need much explaining. If you have never seen it, please start from the very first episode and pay attention; no folding laundry or needlepoint during this show! We especially love the editing and the writing, and it shows in HD which is super awesome…And, if you’re a super nerd, you can go to lostpedia. That’s right, Lost has it’s own Wiki with all the theories and character links. Season finale this week!!

The Office: Some people are not into this show because they like the British version better. I’ve never seen the British version, so I’ll claim ignorance. I do like this version especially when they tone down Steve Carell’s character a bit, he can definitely be too much. What I want to know is what happened after the writer’s strike? The Office was very hit and miss the last few episodes…hmm. I do like the website with all the character blogs, they’re fun.

Grey’s Anatomy: Definitely my guilty pleasure…To be honest, I’ve always liked doctor shows. My mom and I used to watch E.R. for years! But I’ve gotten into Grey’s Anatomy and have given up on E.R. I really like the music choices and “artsy” feel they give the show, even though it usually is way over the top. But my husband watches it with me, that’s all I can ask for 🙂

So You Think You Can Dance?: How can you not get into this show? It’s just like American Idol; the first few episodes make fun of people, there’s an annoying female judge, and a male British judge who is the only one with any sense. But why I like it better than American Idol is because it’s with dancing and I understand dancing better than singing.
