I keep meaning to post in here with the weird things I see or that happen to me that are proof of the crazy city in which I live.

Batman Begins was amazing. Don't expect a prequel to the other Batman movies, but even so you shouldn't be disappointed. Definitely one of the better comic book movies made in the past couple of years. Yes, it's better than Spiderman, but in my opinion that's not saying much.
