Why So Serious?

I know, I know...I haven't posted anything new for a really long time now, and it's not because I don't want to. There's a whole pile of movies that I wanna' review and talk about. But sadly, something got in the way.

I've had these weird symptoms lately and decided to see a doctor about it. The man couldn't help me, said he hadn't seen anything of the sort. He referred me to a psychiatrist and that's where the news broke. The big news.

Yes, folks...it's true. I have been diagnosed with a severe case of Battinuous Obsessiculos. In simpler terms it means I'm suffering from 'Severe Dark Knight Obsession'. *weep weep*. Sorry. It's all a bit too emotional. I've been unable to update the blog ever since, but no worries, I will find a way to review flicks once again. I will triumph! Soon. The doc also told me that I'm not the first to be diagnosed. There's been a massive, worldwide outbreak ever since July 18 2008. That date rings a bell for some reason. Symptoms include [1] searching for Batman 3 related news once every 2 hours [2] talking about TDK at least a dozen times during the day, probably half a dozen times in my sleep [3] not getting hyped about Wolverine despite the leaked footage being coated in coolness [4] awaiting The Watchmen, but awaiting the Dark Knight DVD even more [5] Unable to stop watching TDK in theaters even though other potentially nice movies are being screened.

A vaccine hasn't been found yet, but they say the symptoms may ware off within a couple of months. It will surface once again when the third Batman comes out, though. *Sigh* Oh well, that's life for ya'. Gotta' just take it like a man. Unless you're a girl. Then...you'll just take it like a girl...I guess.

P.S : The Dark Knight is being re-released in January 2009, just in time for Oscar nomination season. Warner just wants people to remember TDK when voting. Yeah 'cause, it's such a small movie that people could easily forget, right? Plus, they're looking to make a lil' more cash outta' it. Poor fellas. All that effort put into a movie and what did they get back? A measly $500million in the United States alone. $920million worldwide. That ain't nothin', right? Peanuts. Hopefully more people will give this relatively-unknown movie a chance and hopefully TDK makes more money...since Nolan's practically homeless now. Poor guy.
