All of that, and more.
by james r. ~ July 23rd, 2008. Filed under: memes, movies.Saw The Dark Knight last evening and was totally blown away. What a rollercoaster! And yes, Ledger was that good. Not necessarily posthumous-Oscar calibre (that’s debatable), but at times a completely spellbinding performance. He nailed the Joker’s insane character. This is a man who exists for chaos and destruction. As is said in the movie, he just wants to watch the world burn. Amazing performance, in my opinion. And on another note, I never realized that Maggie Gyllenhaall was… quite so homely. She did a fine job as the new Rachel Dawes, but I couldn’t stop looking at her rather strange face. Sorry, Maggie. I’m sure you’re a lovely human being in person.
Anyway, I’m taking my son to see Dark Knight tonight. I wonder how he’ll like it.
In other news, since today is Wednesday, half way to the weekend, here’s some fluff to get us through.
1. WITNESS PROTECTION NAME: (mother & father’s middle name)
Eleanor Warren (Which indicates that I’d be going deeper undercover than the judge led me to believe…)
2. NASCAR NAME: (first name of your mother’s dad, father’s dad)
Earl Warren. (Yeah, that sounds about right.)
3. STAR WARS NAME: (the first 2 letters of your last name, first 4 letters of your first name)
Rojame. (M’kay… I’ll buy that.)
4. DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, favorite animal)
Blue Cat. (Either I’m a detective… or a second-rate superhero… or a pimp.) Wait, how about “Indigo Elephant”? No? Yeah, me neither.
5. SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born)
Warren Regina. (Okay, that’s just retarded. Sounds like “War in Regina”. And yes, “Regina” rhymes with what you think it does, which makes it just ever-so-slightly worse. And yes (again), the name “Warren” got passed around my family more than a few times.)
6. SUPERHERO NAME: (2nd favorite color, favorite alcoholic drink, add “THE” to the beginning)
The Indigo Jack and Coke…? WTF? (Alternatively, that could be “The Indigo Vodka Seven”, which sounds like some early punk band — or a failed pretender to the Blue Man Group.)
7. FLY NAME: (first 2 letters of 1st name, last 2 letters of your last name)
Jaro. (What the hell does “Fly Name” mean, anyway?)
8. GANGSTA NAME: (favorite ice cream flavor, favorite cookie):
Maple-walnut Chocolate Chip. (This meme isn’t as fun as I though it would be. I should have read the fine print before committing. Story of my life.)
9. ROCK STAR NAME: (current pet’s name, current street name)
Gaea Terrace. Meh?
10. PORN NAME: (1st pet, street you grew up on)
Tasha University. (The transgendered professor, apparently…)
