Well, my last shift for this assignment has started, and earlier today Natalie and I did the rounds and went to see Batman Begins. I was prepared to hate the movie, as I had all of the Batman movies (and, let's face it, what few episodes I had seen of the old Batman series starring Adam West), and I might well have not gone to see it at all, but for a post by LJ friend

rm.

I can't speak to the pacing and cinematography of the film on a professional level, but this movie came across as a eminently watchable flick, with characters I cared about, who do things that make sense, in an environment that is not a caricature of some dark nightmare. (This, despite the shameless "next episode" repartee at the end that made me think of the one-line future-story ads embedded in the denouements of the Hardy Boys books of my youth, but I digress...)

It reminds me a lot of the original InfoSelect, in that you have a basic functionality that allows you to create a set of free-from pages and an ability to embed links to other pages, URLs, and disk files, in a very wiki-like fashion. I am currently evaluating the package for use as a general catch-all for staying organized.

Cheers...
