HBO Schedule: BATMAN BEGINS

I don't know what my deal is but anytime Batman Begins has been on HBO, HBO2, etc., I stop channel surfing to watch it. I just love this movie. I know every line by now but I can't help myself. I love this movie and everything about it. Whether it's Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, the batsuit, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, the Tumbler, I can't get enough. Long before the movie came out and I saw a picture of the Tumbler, I didn't know what to think but after seeing footage someone took during filming, I couldn't have been more stoked. Up until this movie, the Batmobile of the first 2 movies was my favorite. There was no other until the Tumbler came along. I loved Morgan Freeman's Lucius Fox and Michael Caine's Alfred. Though it's fiction, the scenes between a young Bruce and his father remind me how important my father is and almost brings a tear to my eye, each time. Though there isn't the clear themes in the score like there was by Danny Elfman in the first two, I love this score big time. Enough ranting. I wish they'd hurry up and get busy with the next one.

Comments:
I really enjoyed this movie also, and I traditionally am not known for being into these types of films. However, since meeting my husband, who is a "nerdaholic," I've gotten into all sorts of interesting things, superheroes... etc. I was most amazed at how buff Christian Bale got for Batman Begins after playing an insomniac anorexic in The Machinist. Have you seen it? Disturbing... He's a great actor!
 
Thanks for posting. When I saw The Machinist was on TV the other night, I asked my wife to guess who the guy was and she didn't recognize him at all. She too enjoyed Batman Begins and is looking forward to Superman Returns.
