I'm in a bad mood.

[changeling]

I think I hate the entirety of the human race.

In other news, after the complete ugliness of both my outfit and experimental hairdo yesterday, I've run out of patience with my stupid froofy hair and cut all the damn stuff off. It looks much better now, if a little Annie-Lennox inspired. There's only so much you can do with stupid curly hair. Amusingly enough, if I comb it the right way, I look like the fifth member of the Beatles.

I hate my hair.


I watched most of Batman Returns tonight, having only missed the beginning. It is the first Batman movie I've seen. Some of it was good, some of it was crap, and I found myself thinking things like:
Sabrina Kyle's transformation into Catwoman shares visual elements with Sandy's transformation in Grease. Discuss.
I frighten myself sometimes.

Selena/Bruce is my new OTP, though. I have such a weakness for impossible love stories. I really want a few screencaps of that moment at the masque.

I also want to see the original Batman with Michael Keaton. After having read The Killing Joke (Alan Moore, Brian Bolland, John Higgins) and Arkham Asylum (Grant Morrison, Dave McKean), I'm more interested in the Joker than I am Catwoman and Penguin. Particularly Arkham Asylum. That is an amazing piece of art. It blows my mind. McKean is so talented...


I have a new hatred of Nat's dad, as he's making me get up even earlier, with his adolescent throwing-out-of-Nat. Fucker.

I'm so tired. Nat's roped me into doing sound op for a show that's going on for the next two weeks. Kinda lucky that Drake are arseholes that aren't employing me, eh?

There's not much Arkham in Batman. And I always found Jack Nicholson's Joker to be more silly than scary dangerous. But still. He has an flower that sprays acid instead of water, so that's something.

BTW, I have two VHS copies of Batman Returns. Do you want one or do you already have it? *blink* Are do you guys use PAL like the Brits?

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

We use VHS... I thought it was you guys who use PAL?

*nods* It's just the depth of the character--which you see more in The Killing Joke than Arkham. Arkham Asylum focuses more on Batman, where The Killing Joke focuses on the Joker. Similar themes in both, though. Still. I'm sure it's worth seeing...

Nah, s'Brits. Did you want?

Oh, it is. The first two movies were the best. Anything after, they changed actors/directors and it's more camp than gothic noir.

Arkham Asylum was great. I've loved Dave Mckean's artwork for ages. I especialy liked the denoument of that one, with Two-Face deciding Batman's fate. It was one of those moments that just made me stop and think.

Killing Joke was just... messed up.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

It was--but in a good way. I'm only a dabbler in the Batman mythos, so I found it fascinating to see inside the Joker.

So does that mean we're not having any Violet Star meetings for two weeks???

Call or SMS me tomorrow and let me know.
