Monday’s watch it or watch it: The Dark Knight
Ooh! Ooh! A guest poster! From one of my most favorite people in the whole, wide world, The Husband! He, and my dad, went on a boys night this evening. Apparently they were the last two men in the country who had not seen The Dark Knight, and The Husband got sick of waiting around on his brother to be able to go, so off he and Dad went for some male bonding. I only wanted to see it to pay tribute to Heath, and that can wait for Netflix. This is The Husband’s very first post, so everybody be nice! Take it away sweetness.
Well, tonight I went to see The Dark Knight. Yes, I really waited this long to go see it, and I was truly rewarded. The theater was virtually empty, so it was nice and cool, and totally silent.
If you are wanting to see this movie simply because Heath Ledger is in it, I urge you to think hard about that decision. Yes, he is in it….BUT you cannot tell it is him beneath the makeup and he is a totally insane, evil, crazy, twisted individual in this movie. A premovie bathroom break is highly recommended, this movie is long and there is NO lull in the action.
I always hate reading movie reviews because they might give away the plot. I’ll try not to do that, although at this point I have to be one of the few people left that hadn’t already seen it before tonight.
Ok, so basically, The Joker tricks the criminals of Gotham City into becoming what they think to be allies with him. He betrays them…all. He has no rhyme or reason behind what he does, he simply does it to see how people will react. If he has a goal, it’s quite simply to try and reduce normal people to his level and make them do things they would never think of doing.
Batman plays a hero that is at times despised by the citizens of the city, but he continues to do what is right. He bends the rules when he has to, but always restores things back to the right.
In the end, good triumphs over evil at the cost of Batman’s image. He takes the blame for some things so that Gotham can have a hero with a face.
Hopefully that’s not too much of a spoiler for you, if it is, oh well. I warned you.

Happy Birthday sweet next door neighbor baby boy!
We over here to the right can’t believe you are two, and that The Son is right on your heels. If your Mama is feeling anything like I am when I look at The Son, you should let her hold you just a little longer today. Maybe let her give you a few more night-night kisses. We hope you have a wonderful big boy birthday.
Love,
The Huckablogs.
p.s. We know why your parents are doing all of the home renovations, and tell them not to even think about it. We are not above putting an old car up on blocks in our yard and letting our grass grow. Um, longer.
