But 1st I must tell of the adventure surrounding my Dark Knight experience. Now... the tickets were bought on the 11th... for a movie on the 18th... Now that day I was alerted that they were expecting over 2,000 people... then that they would be extending it from 2 shows to 10...
So Me, GF and her brother leave so that we can get there early and get good seats... We go catch a pizza and meet a couple of other people up there... and wait in the line... once they announce our theater and pull back the tape it was on... and me.. i just casually walked up to the front of the line.. outside of the tape and handed in my ticket and started the footrace.... dont think anyone wouldve said anything...might be the size or something... but yeah. I took off on some olympic shit so we could get good seats... kind of refreshing to have to threaten people away from the seats I was saving.
So everyone gets seated round 10ish... and were just there chillin... between the retarded people who wanted to
A) Dress up as people who werent even in this movie
B) Start a chant every 4 seconds
C) Cheer anytime a new person stepped into the theater
and most hated of ALL
D) Round 11:15/20/25ish i guess they decided to turn on the lil thing b4 the shows that show ad's for places and quotes... well it showed a Julia Roberts quote... and i lost count after the 25th time it played in a row...
I was able to get over some of this anger by shoulder charging assholes in the lobby who decided it would be fine to show up 10 mins b4 showtime to stand in line and try to come in, or to stand in line and get snacks right b4 the show started... u might as well have given that up rite then and there. So 12 comes... and were sitting in a lit ass theater... the trailers start late on some bullshit... Finally 'round 12:10/15ish... they finally start... get about 45 secs into the 1st trailer (Tropic Thunder) and all of a sudden... hearts all around the theater drop...
^FUCK NO!
Yep.. damn film melted on some T-1000 in Terminator 2 shit... surprised it didnt flail about and scream in pain... we all did... and to make matters worse.. they had to throw something on.. and what came back up.... Julia FUCKING Roberts and her quote... which is burned in my brain now... "The world is alot more interesting when youre as tall as someones knees" -Julia Roberts on the life of a child.... HATE! So they send someone in to calm us all down.. and 10is mins later... "We now resume with... Tropic thunder"... somewhere in the middle of it... that one ends... then Bolt comes and goes... Then trailer #3: The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor. Starts off fine... gets to the part where the Yeti (Abominable Snowman) tosses someone and guess what.. our old friend Filmy McMeltchester shows back up... hearts drop further and everyone is ready to riot... and this is when they start offering refunds to the people... everyone pretty much stayed put in our theater.. cause fuck we all showed up early to see it (apparantly the people in our theater "17" and in theater 18 were the ones who paid earlier to be assured tickets) So time gooooooes and gooooooes and gooooooes... and i start texting and calling people letting them know whats going on... and the shit was tense... so the movie finally begins somewhere around 1:10 am.... FOR A FUCKING 12AM MOVIE! and everytime something happened I was worried that it would melt and we would have to scrap it out with the other people in the theater.. which i was ready for after 454574574 julia roberts quotes, retarded people cheering/chanting/being the (yep in my) yt's....
But as it began.... bliss....
^ Honestly... I wanted to do this while driving away... just the look of "nut busting" greatness, it was oh so soothing. It is a great shame that Heath wont be around to be showered with gifts from fanboys and fans alike. I'll admit I mos def was not a fan. There was nothing appealing about 10 Things I Hate About You, or The Patriot (oh how Mel has fallen) or Brokeback Mountain (these are the most familiar). When i heard about him being cast as the Joker... I noted how much of a fan I wasnt, but i didnt give any real hate. I trusted that he could do it, cause its a batman movie with good people in it already... (Bale, Freeman, Caine... i think i can trust a lil) Man.. was I wrong as phuck. From the second he stepped on the screen, I began a 2 1/2 hr buffet of my words. I honestly havent seen someone that committed to a role since Bale himself. Bale losing 60+ lbs for The Machinist was the most intense thing ive ever seen in a movie... and Ledger becomming a shut in to prepare really paid off. Between Ledger, Eckhart, Bale, Caine, Freeman, and Gyllenhall... this movie shut the shit down... this definately erased the line between comic book movies, and movies based on comic books... Gyllenhall being more grown set the tone for her character hob-nobbin with the elegant people thru the movie... i cant really say too much.. cause im tired..lol but if u can see this movie.. do so... about 42 times...
But yeah.. im about to ho it up so that i can go see it countless times... slide over to a show and go see it.. but yeah...
im gone like katie (holmes) cruise's chances of being taken seriously.
