The Gotham Times, Bringing You Tomorrow's News
After endorsing Mr. Dent in his campaign to clean up Gotham last week, our Scene & Heard offices have been absolutely FLOODED with campaign propaganda and press materials from Dent's team. Posters, buttons, stickers. The whole cow and a carton of milk, if you will. We actually have Mercury employees trying to hop their carcasses on our Save Gotham bandwagon and clawing some of these Dent items from our possession (someone tell them to follow reality's campaigns please. We got the comic book elections covered, thank you very much!)
Well today, a new newspaper was brought to my attention, and I'm gonna send them my resume off to them today, see if they could use an entertainment writer or promotions guy. I'd be happy to help Dent in his bid to clean Gotham up! Not to mention, I'd do anything to see more of Heath Ledger's Joker right now. If that means walking into the storm, so be it.
So don't mind me, I'm just going to now post the trailer for The Dark Knight for about the 3rd time I've done on this blog now.

My whole feeling on that is, why beat up someone for being emo, when you can just make fun of the whole thing (as the entire genre is ludicrous). Or why threaten to kill someone who already (seemingly) wants to die? (I'm mean how many emo band lyrics contain the phrase "cut my wrist and black my eyes"? lol). I can't stand emo personally, but if being whiny emotionally fashion plates gets them going, then more power to them. Anyway, in another interesting note, my high school acting teacher is in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. He plays Mr. Preston. It's so funny because he is a Shakespearean trained actor.
Also, I am very much looking forward to Dark Knight :)
Just like hip hop, emo is in a (pardon the pun) sad state of current affairs. But also like hip hop, it's rooted in magnificent minds and was mined on incredible albums (the cure, weezer, sunny day real estate, joy division) but has been hollowed up, stripped, and hosed down into a boring stupid thing. but even today, i have to say it's still much much more than just self loathing and hawthorne heights. to say the entire genre deserves the same fate as the sillier cliched bits of it is just as ludicrous. as with anything different, there is much more than meets the eye.
in any case, your teacher is the man. But he got dumped for Ted's dad in the 2nd. that musta sucked.
i guess some people get violent against things they don't understand, as opposed to just taking them for what they're worth. and that's whats going on in mexico. (see also Nazi Germany, and women who have tossed drinks in my face)
