I saw a pre-screening the Thursday before it’s release, and I decided that if you haven’t gone to see The Dark Knight yet, then we can no longer be friends. Please give back all borrowed DVDs, take me off your blog roll, and yes, I’ve cancelled our Facebook friendship. And stop poking me, it won’t change a thing.
Seriously, stop. Get off of me.
It was so good, I went and saw it a second time in IMAX. And there is nothing better than going to see a movie with a crowd of people who will cheer and gasp at the exact right moment. The IMAX scenes were incredible, and the audience appreciated it with a lot of ‘oohing’ and ‘aahing’. And then a fight erupted in the back of the IMAX theatre, complete with lots of swearing, yelling and throwing of popcorn and drinks.
Which is just so confusing to me, because if you are going to pay an exorbitant amount of money to sit and watch a 2 1/2 hour movie with 250 strangers, you would think that an argument that necessitates Sour Patch Kids as ammunition could wait until the credits rather than the pencil scene. If you had seen the movie, you would totally understand, and most likely have urged, my immediate need to forcibly shut those people up in any way possible. Using my own sour and sweet candy, if necessary.
Other than that, the second time around was just as good, if not better, than the first. And I discovered the wicked awesome viral campaign the Dark Knight had, as well. So read that and be as jealous as I am.
I think this whole post just adds up to ‘Go see The Dark Knight’. I’m sorry you read all this just to arrive at that conclusion.
