JGL again

Don't waste your time on me, 
You're already the voice inside my head ..

I saw The Dark Knight Rises today at the IMAX cinema. It's just as good second time round. I don't know if my true appreciation for the film comes from its great performances/smart plot/awesome effects, or simply the fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt seems to get as much, if not more screen time in his role as a Gotham City cop than Batman does. He's still my man-crush .


Incidentally, I worked out today that in his upcoming film Looper, he wears a prosthetic nose, which was a huge relief. It's only a very minor prosthetic, but its one of those things that manages to be so subtle, yet make him look unsettlingly different, but you can't work out why. But, having found that out, all my initial 'why is he no longer beautiful?' fears were quelled.



Seriously though, that second picture is weird, right? It looks fuck all like him. The prosthetic nose is slightly curved, which is difficult to see in that pic, to make him look like a young Bruce Willis. And weirdly, it works. The looking like Bruce Willis thing I mean, not in general.

What a dude.

Anything else?

Oh yeah.

I realise that the ongoing fighting in Syria is serious business that no-one really wants to be involved in. But a news article I read today again used the phrase "urban guerilla". That's ok as a written phrase, but when you hear it out loud, the first thing that comes to mind is Al-Assad fighting the rebels with a bunch of armed gorillas, which would probably make for fantastic television.
