I had an hour to kill before class, so I started writing this.  It may become a series.

Ha! Ohh, this is great. I actually watched most of Batman Begins last night, so the timing couldn't be better. Well, at least it's less likely Claude will beat the crap out of Bruce as bad as he did Peter. Alfred might get a little jealous having another Brit in the house, though.

Thank you! Batman Begins is pretty good, but The Dark Knight is my favorite and I'm praying they make a third one. Claude probably won't beat the crap out of Bruce physically, just screw with his mind and emotions, reminding him that he's not invincible. I actually think that Alfred and Claude might get along really well eventually.

And now I'm itching to write a companion piece, but I have this horrible 7-page research paper I have to work on. Meh.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that- there's no way they're letting a cash cow like the rebooted Batman franchise not be a trilogy. Which he certainly does need reminding of, on occassion. And which Alfred would probably appreciate his doing, thinking about it. Aww, they could reminisce about Old Blighty and complain about weird Yankee customs together!

Heh, tell me about it! I just finished my comprehensive exams, I'm itching to do something fun for a change- nope, gotta really knuckle down and crank out a ten-page paper, eight revised poems, and more before the end of the semester. *groan*

Yes, you're probably right, if they can make a villain as cool as the Joker but isn't the Joker, and if Christian Bale can stop dropping f-bombs at innocent crew members for five minutes. What's Old Blighty?

I can see it now:

Alfred: "For once, I'd just like people to stop staring at me like I have an extra head when I ask where the loo is."
Claude: "All you get are strange stares? Back in the '80s, I asked about the loo and someone handed me a poster of the Incredible Hulk."
Alfred: *does not get reference*
Claude: *rolls eyes*

Well, I'm nearly to the third of seven pages, but then I have a short presentation after that (on Twilight, and I'll have to try really hard not to go into rant mode). *sigh*

Blah. Sorry. I'm here, just.. RL and everything... Anyway.

Heh, well, the way I heard it the guy who caught Mister Bale's ire had been seriously asking for it. P.G. Wodehouse slang. It's either England or just London, I'm not entirely positive.

Heeeyeah, I don't get it either. *ducks head in shame*

A presentation on Twilight? Yikes. You have fun with that. If all else fails, read some of The Twilight M15M Recap. During the presentation, or after, so the healing process can begin.

It's okay. The end of the semester is insane.

Was he? I thought it was just some guy who walked behind him... Okey-dokey.

In the 1980s, wrestler Lou Ferrigno played the Incredible Hulk in the TV show. I think it's sort of an obscure reference if your parents weren't big TV watchers back in the '80s, like mine were (my mom watched everything and now she watches almost nothing except sports, the Weather Channel, and the very occasional episode of House, M. D., during which she will ask me, "Is Dr. House still addicted to Vicodin?").

Don't I know it.

Well, I don't know the specifics, but I've heard that the guy repeatedly walked into shots and pretty much all the crew was tired of him.

Ahh, I see. Heh, the "Lou." I get it!
