Common Sense

The sequel to the summer blockbuster of 2005, Batman Begins, was officially announced today. The press release included many things we already knew:

• Christian Bale was reprising his role
• Heath Ledger is The Joker
• and it is being headed by Chris Nolan

I mean, I had the Heath Ledger-as-Joker story two weeks ago. And if I have it, you know it’s old news. I’m willing to give Ledger a chance on this one. I don’t think he will outdo ol’ Jack in this role, but he could bring something interesting to the screen. If only he had Mark Hamill’s voice, it might be better.

On a more personal note, I have to say that I like the writing and I like the fun of CHUD.com, but I hate that f-ing Web site. Seriously, Nunziata needs to shut the site down for a day and have someone go through all the HTML and fix it. Half the time I can’t read the stories because the ad code is in the way. And the lag time on the scrolling down to finish reading something, ugh. Simplicity is the key to a great Web site and there is too much code there for things to operate smoothly. /end bitching
