The Back Story
I picked up this nifty word from work of all places. Someone thought it was much in having to "check all the previous branch release notes for any caveats that may have been mentioned along the way" between numerous releases of a piece of software. When I read this, I agreed almost instantly. We have a bit of a catch 22 in this respect. Release notes can't contain each & every detail of prior releases, but then again, some clarifications of 'odd' scenarios would be useful to users.

Thankfully it's not part f my job description to decide what stays & what doesn't, but hang on, could I have read this wrong?! I don't even know what a caveat is, I should look into it. Weeks pass.

The Batman releases .. Yes. Even in the UK. Having avoided all Bat stories out of bitterness, I do a bit of catching up. I read this interesting article about villains they could use in follow-up films (but should NOT).

As I read it I am thinking to myself, okay I agree with the reasoning, but on the flip-side I am a firm believer that 'any' story can be sold as a film, it's all about the 'how' it's done & then I read this under sub-heading Caveat: "With the proper writing, directing, and costuming, almost any of these characters could be rewritten as interesting or dangerous or modern.. " As always the guys at FSR cater for the most important person I know. 'me'. Bravo. I was supposed to check up this word weeks back. 1 more week passes.

I come across this long detailed very interesting article that almost reflects my exact thought on Indian cinema .. right that does it, ah so in context the word does mean exactly what I thought it meant. Sweet. Order again in the world of Ram.

Side Note: Yea' so I've fallen way way behind (a months worth) in my blogging. I'll catch up at some point. I've been keeping myself busy (not just slacking). More on this later. So, keep your eyes open for backdate posts for June/July.

Dark Knight, The'

Runtime: 152min 18secs
Tagine: Welcome to a World Without Rules.
Written and Directed by: Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan

Plot Outline:
One year ago, a man became more than just a man to battle injustice as a symbol. He became the symbol that criminals learned to fear, he became a legend that the people of Gotham could rely on, a legend that is known as 'The Batman', however this was just a beginning, all is not well in the city of Gotham, far from it, in fact.

Bruce Wayne (Patrick Bateman) and his vigilante alter-ego the Batman (Christian Bale), continue the seemingly-endless effort to bring order to Gotham. With the aid of Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman) and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), they attempt to hit the criminal mobs where it hurts, who in their desperation turn to someone they don't really understand.

The mysterious Joker (Heath Ledger) willingly takes a stand against Batman, he stands for disorder, the equal & opposite to the very symbol that Batman is. Unpredictable behaviour & ruthlessness being key to his methods, he brings the city to chaos & madness, but in the end-game he has a card of his own up his sleeve. It's all part of the plan.
