missroseroseThe Dark Knight Rises: First act gets a 7, second gets a 5, third a 9 - would have been a 10 but for a fairly obvious plot hole. Still, it ends on a very strong note, which almost makes up for the just plain lazy writing during the middle section. Frankly, that part was more puzzling than anything, as Christopher Nolan's screenplays are usually very good about having all the loose ends tucked away (in appearance, if not actuality). Still, the ending is appropriate and uplifting enough to earn forgiveness. Also, a big gold star to whomever designed Anne Hathaway's costume - in addition to the catsuit looking practical *and* flattering, the goggles-that-suggested-cat-ears were a great touch. B+
A Game of Thrones: Watched the first three episodes over the past couple of weeks. That actually does a pretty good job of summing up my reaction to it; the production values are fantastic, but the characters have been stock and rarely likable, which leads to most of the drama being frankly ham-handed. Still, things have gotten gradually better over the course of said episodes, so I'll probably watch at least the next couple. It's just unusual for it to take this long for me to decide whether or not to watch a show. Also? More Tyrian and less of the rest of the Lannisters, please. C+ (so far)
My boobs: Tried on some bras at Victoria's Secret while I was waiting for the movie. Either their sizes have gotten smaller, or I'm a solid 34C now. o.O I knew I'd gained some weight, but still...never thought I'd make C-cup, especially that firmly (no pun intended). I guess there's an upside to putting on a few pounds. C (what I did there?)
