The Dark Knight. I didn't even regret spending $7.25 per ticket on it.

Heath Ledger gave a outstanding, terrifying and very memorable performance. This was definitely a peak in his career. And the movie overall totally engulfs your attention for the nearly three hours that it runs. Loved it.

Dark Knight was good. But surprisingly for a superhero movie, the dialog was actually better than the action scenes. Come to think of it, the action scenes were pretty boring. Dark Knight is like a serious grown up movie hidden behind a batsuit.

You should, if you've not, read the book! The movie only touches on what Frank Abagnale was able to get away with, and without the advantage of computers. Amazing!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

One time when I was a kid he came to our school and gave a talk to the whole school. I guess it was part of his punishment to go around and tell kids not to be bad. I think he made everyone in the school want to be bad.

After he served his term in the U.S. (he also served time in Italy and Switzerland I believe), he worked for banks teaching them how not to fall for con jobs like the ones he devised. I remember seeing him on Johnny Carson. Crooked, but cool. Great book!
