I knew Heath Ledger was in it, but I just finished watching Batman Begins, for the first time, on TV. I enjoyed it enough that I've decided to see the second one. I thought it was really-well done, if a bit on the long side. I'd say it's the only Batman movie that I like, and I've pretty much seen them all, or at least the mainstream ones, anyway.

As I watched, I found myself comparing it to the first Spiderman. They both share the exact same basic premise, but they take off into two completely different directions. Eventually I concluded that it put Spiderman to shame in terms of character. Batman Begins really let you get inside the main character's mind, and I thought that was one of the highlights of the movie. Unfortunately that part is done and over with, so I don't imagine the second movie being as good.

The Seinfeld Clipshow? I like that episode, or at least the ending montage set to Greenday's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)." That was a pretty touching montage, if you ask me. Originally, they played it after the Finale. I suppose it highlighted a nice contrast between the two: The Finale focused on how anti-social and hateful the four were, while montage showed how deep the relationship between them went (even though most of it was off-camera footage..).
