Very tired of repeating myself.
So, think I should say that new Batman movie was pretty good. Joker is a liar and a killer and fun, but not as fun as Joker in '90s cartoon. Batman voice annoying. Two Face face horrible in both wonderful way and annoying way. Fun to see Scarecrow again. Chicago as Gotham much better than BS Gotham in last movie, but still not as good as Gothic-deco Gotham from the '89 movie. Batmobile dying reminder of that rocket thing in the movie with The Penguin, hopefully ugly car totally dead now. Hong Kong = breath taking. Gordon is the real hero. Alfred should have upper crust accent, but Caine so danged good.

Oooo..the HK part in Batman was amazing, even better we saw it on IMAX.
I can be your tour guide if you decide to visit HK some day..=)

Damn, I really need to see that movie.
Wings -- If I ever go.
Jazz -- Except for the beauty shots of Hong Kong, DVD is a good way to see it. Unless your local movie house does $5 days.
I don't think butlers would have actual upper crust accents. If they were actually upper crust peoples, they would HAVE butlers, not be them, right? I'm waiting for the DVD on this one. I believe the only movie I will see at the theater this year will be the new Star Trek movie.
Most English butlers (all over a certain age) should have upper class accents because they're there to blend in with the surroundings and if they spoke and sound like they should be walking around Soho that would draw attention.
Most English butlers (at least of a certain period of time) started working for a house at a young age and eventually worked as a valet and eventually become the butler of the house. I'd imagine living in a house with an upper class accent would eventually teach you to speak with one yourself.
Alfred, being a codger, should have an upper class accent.
And Star Trek... *sigh* They moved that back to next summer, the bastards.
