Gotta make this quick, I have work early tomorrow. Packing a bowl and typing at the same time.

Anyone else notice that midnight showings of films always have the A/C off? Shit's a burn, literally.

Sometimes it's worth it to pay extra for the reserved seating, concessions waiters, the bar AND A/C at Hollywood Arclight.

So I think I've hit almost every Thursday blockbuster opening since April and I have to say, I think Batman going to break records. The AMC at the mall near my house had 12 midnight showings, ALL SOLD OUT by 10 P.M. I think it's going to be this summer's major blockbuster.

Trying to avoid spoilers here but I love how Christopher Nolan has taken the fantasy out of a comic book adaptation yet still apply comic book (if not THE "Batman") ideals into real life social constructs. There is Oscar buzz around Heath Ledger's performance in this film but I wouldn't say it was how impacting the role was but how Ledger added such original subtle human nuances to a character almost everyone has become familiar with as "The Joker." I give this movie a lot of credit. Not a rewatch at the theater film like WALL-E but definitely a must buy on BLU-RAY type movie, which is a big deal to me.

Damn the film title is SOOOOOO appropriate.

In other news, I have been having a ridiculously good month. Next week, remodeling my room and MAYBE a new HD LCD T.V., all out of my pocket. You know you're on a good one when you're not doing much but play around, work just a little bit, treat yourself to luxuries (new locs, fresh fade and random cash out dental appointments), pool party/bbq 10 weeks in a row AND still have some money in the bank.

SHORTY WHAT YOU DRANK CUZ WE POPPIN' BOTTLES~!

Next week, we talking about WALL-E and The Dark Knight under the magnifying glass. And maybe some new pictures. Not that many of you care these days....

----------

*update*

The Dark Knight grossed $158.3 million over a 3-day weekend box office. NEW RECORD~! $18 million just over the Thursday night MIDNIGHT opening...CRAZY~!

For real, man.  I can't watch films when the air is off.  That's a major sticking point with me - this kid's gotta breathe.   It's pretty crazy, last night theaters had screenings up until 3:30am and they were ALL SOLD OUT.  Insanity.  I heard all the normal screening times in nyc are sold out for the rest of the week as well.  Looks like I won't be checking it out any time soon...   But great review, I'm really amped to see it now.  Been trying to not read any reviews to manage expectations.  If it's a must-buy on BLU-RAY, that must mean that the film is pretty visual.  Worth checking out on IMAX perhaps?

what so pretentious is bale refusing to go forth with the movie if they put a robin in it. batman is like an athlete. aging while his enemies stay the same. robin is his only salvation when he is past his prime. if they add any future parts to the series when batman gets old that means bale has to change his mind or fuck it no movie is made.

private screening tuesday. with a much more mature audience is for the fucking win. glad i didn't get to go with the general showing audience because high school kids ruin the shit out of th experience.

I agree with Dandiggity.

I haven't yet seen The Dark Knight, but so far have only heard good reviews about it. I also heard it's a lot like 'The Killing Joke'

Pool party/bbq's are probably one of the best concepts.  It's like being on The Grind in your own backyard.  Whatever happend to Downtown Julie Brown anyway?

yo ive been out in korea for months now and at the theaters here you can bring your own drinks and food and kick it. it's like the whole thing is your sweetassed living room. and the audio's ridiculous. dark knight blew out my eardrums.

so wussup you making bank now? sweet. entertainment's paying off huh

amplefourth is nuts. robin in the dark knight franchise? next to bale? hell no. maybe when he's 60 and dying. then they can do the Frank Miller dark knight--the apocalyptic future one. until then..no way. just imagine robin's colors against the dark knight palette. shit'll be a joke right?
