Batman The Dark Knight

Just saw it, it was the best Batman movie ever, possibly the best "Superhero" movie as well. However this movie was more like the movie Seven then a "Superhero" movie, and that's why it works so well. It is tough, gritty, real and full of tension. It is truly great piece of filmmaking, and Nolan's best since Momento. The only thing that still bugs me is Bale's deep phoney voice he does when Batman. Leger's Joker was very much like the Killing Joke Joker, and I think it was by far his best performance. I have to watch it six or seven more times to really take in everything, I have to try to get to the IMAX to see it as well. For folks with kids be aware, even though it was PG-13, it really is bordering on an R. It's very violent, disturbing, and the two-face makeup rivaled Darkman. I have let my 7 year old twins see a few PG-13s like Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, but this movie would be way too much for them.

The 501st Legion

I have been very busy lately, not only with work and my twin girls, but I also have a new hobby that's been taking up a lot of my time. I built a complete set of Stormtrooper Armor last December from a kit and joined the 501st Legion in April. The 501st is the largest Star Wars costuming group in the world and they go to events with Stormtroopers, Biker Scouts, Snowtroopers, Boba Fetts, Jango Fetts, Tuskens, and Darth Vaders. I have been to a couple of events already with the Empire City Garrison and its a real trip, my id is TK6744. I just did a Weird Al Yankovic concert in Westbury NY where I was on stage with 9 other troopers during the Saga Begins song, doing a dance routine. I have a charity even coming up at Camp Kiwi in upstate NY on June 26th, it will be nice to do a troop that's actually for a good cause. Below is my site with some photos of the armor and some of the events I have gone to.

There is also some video of the event on YouTube (See Below), I was the third Stormtrooper from the right.

GTA IV & Frontlines

Still playing GTAIV obsessively, still have not completed it, I'm about 70% through. I only get to play an hour or so a night so it is taking a while. I also just got a free copy of Frontlines :Fuel of War from THQ/KAOS studios. I beta tested the game over a year and a half ago in NYC and I received a few free games for my time, and the promise of the Xbox 360 version of Frontlines when it came out. Well its been out for three months and I had not received the game. I emailed Kaos and THQ repeatedly and from what I gather the guy who was in charge of the beta testing had left, so I figured I was screwed. Well finally yesturday I got a package from them with 2 copies of the Xbox 360 version, I am glad they finally stepped up and made good on the promise, just wish it had of been three months ago. I am going to start playing it right after GTA IV if I can resist Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3. BTW: The extra copy is up on ebay for $25 BIN for anyone interested.

Also my friggin clan 2old4tactics360 seems to have shut down without warning. There had been some crap going on, and I guess the owner got fed up. It just would have been nice for  KuruptU4Fun to let us all know before hand. If anyone has any openings let me know, I only play an hour or two a night and right now I am looking to play some GTA IV, Halo 3, and maybe Frontlines once I get started with it..

Halo 3

Sold all my 360 games on Ebay last week, only kept Star Wars BF II and Quake 4. I figured H3 was all I would be playing for the next 6 months. I'm picking up my Legendary Halo 3 package today, can't friggin wait.

Thanks
