....Until Thursday, and then I'll be back until Sunday, and then I'll go away until Thursday again. I will repeat this process for the next 4 weeks, because I am now going to that damn summer program. I was thinking that I could at least get some time over there, to come onto this site with my laptop, but that changed when I read this stupid rule of theirs, about how we're not allowed to bring any electronics except for cell phones, and maybe a few other items that they will accept (but unfortunately, laptops aren't one of them ).

So, I doubt that I will get a chance to talk to anyone on this site for the next 4 days. But, at least I will be here to talk on Fridays and Saturdays .

Oh, and I just wanted to mention that I have just seen The Dark Knight. I was worried that it might get overrated, for a few reasons which I may mention later. Also, it was my most anticipated movie of the year, so my expectations were set sky high, especially with all of the hype surrounding it. Well, let me just say that this is one of the few movies that has lived up to all of its hype for me, and has even managed to exceed my expectations. Its much darker than Batman Begins, and also much better, which is really saying a lot. This has now become the best superhero movie that I have seen, to date, and it will probably stay that way, for a long time. Also, Heath Ledger's acting was brilliant. Let's just say that he was so good, that I completely forgot that an actual actor was playing The Joker, while I was watching the movie. I was sad when I heard that he passed away, back in January, but I had a feeling that people might give him too much credit for his last movie role, just to show their respect for him. But, this is not the case. He truly did a fantastic job, and I don't see how they could ever manage to replace him, in they ever make another Batman movie, with The Joker in it.

So, the bottom line is that if you haven't seen this movie yet, then see it now. You won't regret it .

Yeah, it's my second favorite movie of the year, after In Bruges. Ledger and Eckhart delivered brilliant performances, and Bale was perfect as Bruce Wayne, though a little lacking as Batman, IMO.

What summer program is it you're going to?

Yeah, Bale is a good Batman, but not the best that I have seen.

Its called a "Bridge Program," and its being held at my college, USP. Its basically supposed to transition me into college life. And the reason that I need to go to it, is because Pharmacy is a much more competitive area of study, than many other majors, so its 1st year is supposedly much more intense than it is for other people going to college, in their 1st years, studying different fields.

That stinks about the rule you have to deal with. Hopefully your "Bridge Program" goes well though. I definitely want to see "The Dark Knight" and hopefully I will get to see it soon. I enjoy "Batman Begins", so I'm sure I will not be disappointed neither. I can't believe a talented actor like Heath Ledger is someone that lost his life though. It is a shame for that to happen.

It was great! Even with the hype.

Yeah, TDK is the best Batman movie I've seen. IMO, it's currently the best adaptation of Batman (sorry B:TAS). Makes me wonder and worry about how Nolan can top that.

So, you're taking Pharmacy for a major? Well, I hope the Bridge Program won't be too hard.

Oh, Bridge Program... I vaguely remember the name back when my sister was prepping for college but haven't really heard it brought up that much (if at all) for me .

And yeah, Dark Knight was crazy amazing. It's been a while that I've left the movie theater feeling completely satisfied with the movie. I'd even go as far as saying I'd catch it again in theaters. I'd say more about it, but I'm sure I'd just end up spoiling people...

That stinks that I won't get to talk to you much anymore, especially with me only being able to hang around for a few more weeks.

I also want to see The Dark Knight

Glad to hear Batman was good. I've been meaning to see it, but I'm a born procrastinator.

You're being forced to go to Summer Camp? Well that sucks, but we;ll just talk over the weekend I guess.

The dark knight is now the best superhero/comic book based movie I have ever seen. Much like you, I thought that people would praise Ledger mostly because of his passing away..but when I walked out of that theatre, I couldn't stop thinking about it, for days.

Greetings, everyone! Fear not, for I have returned in all of my awesomeness .

We need to find a way to liven up the YYH boards. There's been nothing to talk about lately
Posted Jul 26, 2008 8:03 am PT
I do agree. I don't mind the new current regulars on that forum such as Logic_Girlz and gitambaruah, but honestly, I'm losing interest in the conversations held there. They seem to be getting a bit repetitive lately. That's why I don't go there. However we can do a few things about it. The first step, AfterImage, would be to open up your class system, which I expected to appear after you returned from your vacation a while ago . You should put that up soon. We don't want an impatient ensatsu-ken wrecking havoc from waiting too long, do we?

Hey, guys, if you want, I can create a sepparate YYH forum, on proboards (since I created a sample form there for darklordavaitor, when we were thinking about making our own forum, to replace TV.com with ). I'll even make you 2 admins of that forum, if you can help me out a little bit, by getting some people to come over, and maybe creating some of our own original logos and wallpapers for the design of that site. Here, I'll even show you my sample page: http://ensatsu-ken.proboards103.com/index.cgi?

It sounds like a good idea to me, How about you, AfterImage34?
