Thankfully they got the senior rate and ate lunch before they went so they didn't bulk up on popcorn and sodas...<BR/><BR/>Mom and dad informed me that there were only two funny spots and dad's overall comment was, "I can't believe I sat through the WHOLE thing!"<BR/><BR/>Strike one.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234907275906877802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001434439078518468.post-80386946365979482202008-07-22T08:25:00.000-04:002008-07-22T08:25:00.000-04:00Going to see Dark Knight tonight, after rewatching...Going to see Dark Knight tonight, after rewatching Batman Begins last night. I'm really hoping I'm not overhyped for this movie. IMDB has it ranked as the #1 movie of all time right now, beating out the likes of The Godfather for that top spot. You have to figure it's going to sink some as time goes by, but I'm very much looking forward to the screening.<BR/><BR/>And in unrelated news, I found the <A HREF="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37567" REL="nofollow">promo poster</A> for True Blood on one of the movie sites I regularly read.

Heath Ledger's spirit is resting easy. It's nice to know that, like Brandon Lee, he went out on a high note.<BR/><BR/>It's a good day to be a comic geek.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
