A Dark Knight
Went and saw Batman the other day and it was awesome. Great that they have returned the franchise to the original Tim Burton vision. The new cinema at Riccaryon may have very comfortable seats but they forgot the reclining bit which makes the movie going experience so much better.
Also went to probably my favourite small venue to see a band, being the Mercury Lounge which is down on Houston St (pronounced How-ston - nothing like a bit of consistency for those of s trying to learn the language. I have actually been reading another Bill Bryson book - Made in America - which has as its theme American English and, as usual for his work, was very interesting and maybe that language isn't quite as bastardised as we sometimes think and has actally contributed quite a lot back.) Anyway back to the music, the band was Junior Senior and there's nothing like a bit of Danish cheesy pop with a big queer guy and his little buddy to brighten a rainy day. Yes it has been raining here a bit and with the humidity it surprises me that it doesn't more often. The humidity kills me, need some of that Christchurch freshness.
