30 minutes early wasn’t early enough
07.20.2008
Against my better judgement I’ve been coerced into seeing “The Dark Night” on opening weekend. Evidently about a trillion other people decided to do the same thing. The theater already has a slightly swampy flavor and the movie hasn’t even started yet. Mostly this has to do with the fact that we’re uncharacteristically humid lately which is not cool…so to speak. As long as the infant in the stroller ahead of us stays quiet for the next 2.5 hours I think it’ll be an enjoyable experience…yeah, I’m not holding my breath.
Let me guess, Dark Knight?
Bingo…
You can’t skip trailers, doesn’t work like that.
Not trailers just the commercials.
20 people in our theater. Everyone had a good seat. We win.
Oh, they made you watch 20 more minutes of commercials?? That IS quite cruel… I hate those things.
I was in So. Cal on Saturday morning and saw Dark Knight in a crappy theater. The plus side being that it was virtually empty.
Then, it was me who talked Todd in to going on Sunday. That showing was crazy. But, the digital projection and sound both more than made up for it.
And, the infant in front of us needed to be taken out of the theater 3 times.
BTW – Me “talking” Todd in to going to the show sounded a lot like this, Me: “you wanna go?” Todd: “OK”
Yeah, Todd talks a good game about not seeing blockbusters on opening weekend but the 606 archive would suggest otherwise.
Also, I read on IMDB that the action scenes were filmed with IMAX cameras, which kinda blows my mind and makes me want to see it in IMAX, I gotta think that would be awesome.
Yeah, we were talking about that over the weekend. I think I’ll make the IMAX experience my second watching.
There is an IMAX theatre very close to me.
I got the the theater for a 1015am showing at 945 and nit was fine, but then the projector broke and we had to move theaters, so it didn’t start until 11am you would think they would have skipped the commercials at that point.
I’d be down for an imax trip for viewing #3.
