The Dark Knight's Infinite Playlist

[jinasphinx]

A couple weeks ago, The Man and I watched Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. I was expecting it to be quirky and funny, like Juno, but it did not hit that bar for us. Perhaps if we were into indie music we would have liked it more, but as it was, we basically watched the weaker half of the plot of Holiday (the Kate Winslet/Jack Black half).

Also recently seen: The Dark Knight Rises. It was oddly slow in between action sequences. I liked it okay despite the weird pacing. Everything with Joseph Gordon Levitt was great, although I didn't need Batman telling him twice to wear a mask to protect the people you care about. I loved Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman, but I do appreciate that in the intervening years we've at least come far enough that a woman doesn't have to be insane to kick ass. (Or at least any more insane than one would be to dress up like an animal and jump into life-threatening situations.) There was a nice nod to Pfeiffer in the beginning, with Anne Hathaway putting in the same mousy performance, and then the great moment where she rips off the mask figuratively speaking. Could have done without the shots of her ass while she was riding the Batcycle. Also, have I mentioned lately how great Black Widow's footwear choices are? Wish she would give lessons.
