I have purchased tickets to a 12:37am showing of Dark Knight next week. That was almost sold out, and everything else is going *fast*.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
E was told by the publicist that we should arrive an hour ahead of time for the screening (Tues night) and that they would be confiscating cell phones. (And also that they'd stopped accepting RSVPs for guests, so it was a good thing he responded early!)

I'm quite certain I've never been this excited to see a movie, and I waited half my life to see Lord of the Rings turned into a live-action film.
I'm more excited about Dark Knight. Straight up.

Neil Gaiman has a few photos from the set of Hellboy II up on his blog.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It looks *better*. Straight up.
(and I say that as a huge LOTR-movie fan, just to be clear)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The few reviews I've read have done NOTHING to reduce my expectations for TDK. My only regret is that it's not feasible for me to catch it at a midnight show like I did Burton's first Batman.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, they've actually made me even more excited. I mean, I love that we essentially know nothing about the actual plot, and the fact that a lot of the reviews are calling it a "great crime drama" rather than a great comic book movie makes it sound even more awesome.

This is going to be one of those things where people go "Why did he have to go and die, dammit!" isn't it.

I think I'm going to a midnight IMAX showing of TDK - I'm very excited. . . and kind of not believing it yet.
