Dark Knight



Thursday night, or Friday morning...however you want to look at it, I went to the midnight showing of "Dark Knight". A friend of mine, Tayster, has been going to the midnight showing of big movies for as long as I have known him, and always tells us about the entertainment value that comes with the price of admission. All the freaks come out!!!!!It's great! There were Batmans, Robins, a Poison Ivy , a Two-Face and other characters as well.

First off with Boot Camp going on...anything past 9:30pm is way to late to be out on a school night for me. We arrived at 9:00pm to stand in line. I brought "Roll the Pigs" to keeps us occupied for the long wait. Randee and I found that if you place the pigs in strange places and take pictures of them....it was way more fun then the actual game. The guy at the concessions counter was very amused by this game as well. :) But not enough to give us free shit....stupid boy!





Roughly at 10-ish we were seated. Jon fell a sleep while Randee and I entertained ourselves trying to stay awake. a little delirium set in. We were laughing at stupid stuff ...you know like how all of Tayster's friends had long hair and goatee's but one who was bald. See not so funny now, but that night it was frigging hysterical!


This group of kids were behind us and left there seats to take pictures and this woman tried to snake their seat claiming "you cant save seats". We were so not having that!!!! Randee made the woman feel like crap and we all stood behind the kids, because she was wrong. I mean come on...we all are tired and anxious, but don't lose your manners because of it. She left threatening to get the manager..."go ahead"! Didn't see her again!


The long and short of it was...the movie was fanoninal. I went in thinking that I would not give Heath Ledger accolades just because if his untimely passing. The man was nothing short of perfect! Now, I am not a comic book reader or avid comic movie go-er....but I do feel that to play a psychologically disturbed individual, there is a fine line of going over board and just being flat out annoying. He did everything perfect...he played neurotic like he had been there a million times before. His speech, it was cool to hear him place the "emph asis on the wrong sy llable" just enough times to make it dark and wicked. Anyway...I was blown away.


This movie was awesome....please go see it!
