Off To See The Dark Knight Tonight... If He'll Have Us

With Tammy on her way here for a week-long stay, tonight should see the three of us head to the theatre for a late showing of The Dark Knight. Based on the fact that it's been breaking box office records all weekend, and my own unwillingness to stand in long lines for movies (or pretty much anything else), it's quite possible that we won't get in to see it this evening. But we'll at least give it a try.

The Dark Knight currently holds a 9.7/10 IMDB rating (with almost 50,000 votes cast), which is probably the highest score ever for a comic book-based film. Neither Spider-Man 2 nor Batman Begins, my two favourite genre movies up to now, came even close to that lofty mark at IMDB. That sort of thing, along with some of the TDK reviews that I've carefully skimmed over the weekend, have me very, very ready to see this latest Bat-flick!

Well, Mr Fancy-Pants Dark Knight had too many other friends to visit tonight, so we couldn't get in to see him.

But we did purchase tickets for tomorrow night's show, so there's still hope.
