Movies: Batman The Dark Knight ( 2008 )

I don’t know about you but I walked out of the theater a bit drained.  This movie could have been two seperate films.  Still, it was great.  I like that Christian Bale returns as Batman along with Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine in their roles.  It feels right when film makers maintain continuity.  However, the big suprise is Joker — Heath Ledger.  Heath Ledger, in my book, finds redemption in his portrayal of the Joker.  The performance was brilliant.  I hope his family will be able to receive an Oscar in his name.  It’s a shame this was his last film.  His career was about to truly take off and recover from Broke Back Mountain.

General: Playstation 4? WTF?!?

I have encountered several blogs, forums, and articles that mention Sony may deliver a fourth generation playstation by 2010.  Some of these sources take a more conservative delivery date of 2012.  And considering the sources, it could all be crap.

Still, I just bought the damn 40GB (gigabyte Playstation3 for $399.  Add a game and tax to that and you’re walking out the store less $500.00 USD.  Didn’t this game console just come out?  Game developers haven’t even really started taking advantage of the new capabilities.  So, why?  Why in the world would Sony deliver the PS4 after 6 years?  Anybody?
