The Dark Knight Rises

[THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS TO THE MOVIE]

After seeing that film, I was initially speechless. My mind was a mess. My thoughts didn't actually fall on any tangible surface and just fell away like water from one's grasp.

I love movies like these. The action/adventure kind with a nice pinch of fantasy. And to appeal more to my kind, it added a bit of mindfuckery in there.

And now, about two hours later, I am calmed down and can properly think again.

I don't really have any problems with the movie, except for one big thing, that 'almost' shadows all of the good stuff.

The author, Nolan, said he wanted to 'end' the Batman movies. He wanted his Batman movies to have a final kind of note. But, you see, if you're anything like me and you've seen the movie, then you want to call out, "BULLCRAP!"

This movie, while in a whole gave the sort of feel that said, 'Yes, it's the final movie', did not have it's own 'ending'. It felt more like, "oh, wow... So wait, that was it?"

I mean, there were so many unexplained plot-twists, that it didn't FEEL like an ending.

First there's the fact that Batman 'allegedly' died. See, you just CAN'T put that in the last movie and not say that you're gonna make more movies to explain yourself. He either died or he didn't. This 'allegedness' just makes me kind of mad. It raises too many questions for me to be satisfied with that ending.
Did Alfred see an illusion at the end, something he wanted to see? Whatever happened to Bane? Is he still out there terrorizing innocent people? And so on and so back.

Then there's John Blake, whose real name's Robin btw, inheriting the Batcave. While I can see this could be a nice enough ending on it's own, the maybe-death of Batman makes this look worse than it is. It, again, rises questions. What's Blake gonna do? Is he gonna become Robin and protect Gotham? Or is he gonna become the next Batman to continue the legacy of an 'unknown' hero. (I mean, the town already knows that Batman died, but still... Like Bruce said, "Batman could be anyone.")

Then there's the Bat-signal that was fixed (not so sure if it was ever broken... Correct me if I'm wrong). While not anything bad in and of itself, it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Is Bruce coming back? Or is Blake gonna be the Batman? If so, the fixing of that signal looked like it was made quite soon after or even before Blake inherited the Batcave, so it didn't look like Blake fixed it. And why would Bruce fix it if he indeed was alive? Wasn't he gonna spend the rest of his life away from Gotham and with Selina?

In conclusion of the bitching and moaning; it just didn't feel like a 'the end' should feel.
Granted, I haven't seen the first two Batman movies in their entirety, so maybe this IS how they end their movies. But then again, I bet I ain't the only person out there who hadn't seen any Batman movies. And this is just a jab to this one movie. Not the prequels. We're not talking about the other movies, only this.


Now let's talk about the awesome things, because there were a LOT more of those.

I truly loved the little touch of Bane breaking Batman's back. While I couldn't actually stomach the scene itself and turned away, I still liked it a lot. It reminded me of the Arkham Asylum game, where when you lost to Bane he'd break your back. It was fucking awesome!

I actually liked Bane a lot as well. I thought I was gonna be angry at him and think of ways to murder him, but surprisingly, he grew fast on me. I didn't know whether it was his really calming voice, or that the actor could draw out the character's quirks that appealed to me, but I have a similar liking to him like Crocodile from One Piece (although a bit more tamed, since I physically CANNOT pair Bane up with anyone!)

I have mixed emotions on Catwoman. On one side, wow she's awesome and kicks mens' asses. On the other side, ...bluh bluh, huge bitch bluh.

I didn't like the actor's face who played as Bruce Wayne. It didn't feel like a Batman-esque face. But everything else was fine. His body was VERY fine.

And OH MY GOD, MORGAN FREEMAN was truly epic.

The prison where Batman stayed at for a while was really awesome. I can't even begin to explain my emotions when I saw the prison in it's entirety(?). I got goosebumps thinking how fitting the 'hole' was. And when that little kid climbed up it. And when Bruce did it too. Fuck, I was mesmerized.

And I fucking teared up and felt like bawling when I saw Batman sacrificing himself. I was seconds away from howling in the goddamn theater. There was like a whole big lump in my throat that didn't even let me breathe. Fuck me for loving self-sacrificing characters.

And the movie can really REALLY build up tension. The last time anything I've seen that built tension up this good was probably Sherlock BBC or One Piece's Arabasta and Water 7 arcs. Fuck, where do these geniuses come from?! [answer: their mother's womb.]


All in all, it was a great movie. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. And while the ending kinda sucked, you wont start bitching about it until after a few hours. That's how good the movie is. It wont let you think anything bad of it at least the first few hours afterwards.

Thank you and good night! *drops dead*

Teacher's day was great

No, I would legit do this again sometime. I'd never become a teacher, ever, but I'd teach those motherfuckers again if the chance arose.

Maybe it was because I taught the relatively older classes, but the classes weren't such a handful. The worst was maybe the 7th grade, where the kids kept being loud and shit, but no one actually beat the crap out of each other and it was all fine.

It was actually quite funny seeing the boys of my class running around chasing the younger students. *sigh* They used to be the same and now THEY had to teach a bunch of youngsters. Fucking fabulous.

It was fun because there were absolutely NONE of the teachers at school today. So our class essentially ran the whole school for a day!

All in all, it was, well, you could say it was... SUGOI!




...Dammit, no one's gonna get that reference!

Today was just terrible. I woke up in the morning, and my senses told me that it's not gonna be a good day. I was right.
The first lesson was Russian. And the teacher asked us to answer her questions. Ofc I forgot everything. Just everything. My head was totally empty, I knew, that the answer was somewhere there, in my mind. In my head. In my fucking head, that always, just always let's me down. So I just kept saying the wrong answers. And she was just yelling at me. Like she always does.
And then I felt it, I felt like the whole world is against me. I felt tired, dissappointed, stupid, I felt like nothing. I was just nothing. I just set there. And then I realized, that there's a tear in my eye. I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry. But I just couldn't do it. So, I just set there. And I just repeated myself: Don't cry, you're not a baby. DON'T CRY, you're in class.
And it's never been so hard to not cry. So when the bell finally rang I ran to the bathroom and I just let the tears fall. I just cried. In school. Like a fucking baby.
I just can't take this whole shit. It's so freaking hard.

Teacher's day!!!

... I don't know if it's even called that in english...

But I'm gonna be a teach for a day! Those kids are gonna get all schoolfed by my awesome knowledge about... something or other...

Fuck...

I mean, I get only like 3 lessons and being an art teacher is awesome as all hell, but I fucking hate little kids. Nope, scratch that, I hate kids going through their puberty.

I wish we'd live in a society where it's acceptable for a teacher to bring a shotgun to the school and then shoot anyone who starts messing with the teacher and being all loud and distracting and shit. And so when you successfully shoot that one kid, then the others are like, "Sorry, teach." And then they keep it quiet and we can learn shit again.

Let's be realistic, that'd never ever happen ever. But wouldn't it be cool if that was the world we lived in.

...I thought to myself, why not.


Bluh, what the fuck am I supposed to teach teenagers, who constantly spew hormones out of their mouths?!

I fucking hate teenagers!



Guys, I don't know what to teach those kids. Please advise.

Actually this post had to be a comment of Mirjams text. But when I finally finished writing this, then I understood that it's way too long to be a comment. And I haven't been posting something for a while. So I just put it here.
And the first thing you have to know, Mirjam, is that, oh my god, you really sound so like me.
And don't worry about your life getting harder. It ALL becomes even more harder than it is now. I always say myself that:'It just can't get any worse than that' even though I know really well, that it can. And it will. 
I don't think I can survive my upcoming years. How the fuck did you made these years through Anni? - this school thing just sucks. I really think, that I'm the only one in my class, who has no brains.

But that isn't the problem right now
Anyway.  It's verry good, that you want to be a better person. And don't think I say it because there's something wrong with you - no, you're perfect to me. But if you have some goals to reach, then it all becomes a little bit easier. Just a little bit. And it gives you the opportunity to prove yourself, that you actually can get through all this bullshit, you can do anything, anything what you want if you but a little work on this, and if you really really want this.
This is life Mirjam, it gets harder, and harder. I know, I hate it too. But we're not here to worry obout some meaningless problems, we're here, because we have to take everything we can in this life, we're here to prove ourselves that we can, we're here to be happy and smile, because actually even though this life is so freaking hard, it's unique, beautiful and wonderful.
About 30 minutes ago I wanted to write about things that are wrong. Now I realized, that there's SO many bad things to write right now, so I better don't write any of this shit. Meaningless, like I said. Let's focus on good things, and right now, these things to me are my fucking 4 tests that I have tomorrow:) Also I have to fix my F in maths. Also I have the rest of 10000000 things I have to do, includes my hip-hop lessons, where, again, I feel like I'm the dumbest person in our group. Nevermind. One day I will be the best dancer in the world.
One day I will graduate my school.
I'm not really sure about my brains, I don't think I can find them. 


Anyway, I love you girls.
And I miss you.

Random thoughts that doesn´t need to make sense

You know those days when you just sit and think that you want to do someting interesting or go somewhere, but can´t think of anything? And then when you are really bored you start wondering about some weird things like what is the meaning of life and why people die.

Well, i started wondering too and came to the realisation- i am growing up. And too fast. I think about the times when life was much easier and all my worries were about the candyjar being too high or the rain being too cold for going out. I can´t exactly say that i want that time back because in a way i like growing up and everything that comes with it, but i feel kinda tired.

Maybe i am tired of being too cheerful. It really can be too exhausting.
Maybe i am tired of ...
That´s it actually. I don´t know.

I´m not afraid about what other people think about me.
My clothes, my style( if i ever happen to gain any), my view of the world.

I want to go and travel arond the world in a boat. I want to finish my book. I want to own a tiger. I want to learn in Hogwards. I want to be smarter, stronger, calmer,more free, more independent.
I want to be more me.
