Batman = SCARY

Dear Diary,

Call me naive...but I think that the new Batman movie is just too scary. I know that I would not go see it with anyone younger than me, since they would find it funny to try and scare me during and after the movie. For some reason, the movie creeps me out, and to go to $400 million in 18 days at the box office really shows that America likes to be freaked out and scared silly. Here are a few reasons why I don't like the new Batman movie, Dark Knight:

1. The name in itself makes me nervous. Let's break it down: Dark is bad, and Knight refers to someone who fights for a living. Sure, knights protect you, but I don't have one living in my house, do I? Point made: they're flat out scary. So why not call the movie Bad Flat Out Scary. It has a nice ring to it, and I know not to go see it now.


2. Christian Bale. Sure, he's a hunk beyond my dreams, but he's a bad role model for young people. I mean, he bit his mother! Leave the violence on the screen, so I don't have to deal with it. If I don't see the movie, I don't have to witness the bad violence contained within it.


3. Heath Ledger. Not only do I disapprove of his previous movies, which I will not mention here, he just flat-out freaks me out. I dislike hate clowns. As the Joker, he is a psycho and needs some medical treatment at the mental hospital, with regular doses of love and attention. Poor Joker probably never had anyone tell him he was loved, so he has to act out for attention. It's a classic case of home-grown problems. Maybe his parents got a divorce and that's what made him that way.



4. It costs $9 to get in.


5. Lack of unicorns, especially pink and blue ones.


6. Dark.


7. Scary.


8. Why no ponies?


9. Morgan Freeman doesn't have a big enough role. He should be just as invincible as Mic says Chuck Norris is.


10. It's bad. End of story.

There you have it, and still people line up to see this movie. I don't understand how this can be entertaining, but I'm not one for wanting to be scared, at least, not after I saw the Mummy. That one scared the living daylights out of me!

Now, excuse me, Diary, I'm going to lock my door.
