Dark Knight Rises - Now that we know the cast — Page 16

I've more or less restrained myself from posting in this thread. Simple reason. Majority of my posts in this thread would consist of:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New Batman movie is coming out soon!!!!! EVERYONE MUST SEE IT!!!!!!! EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



THERE IS A NEW BATMAN MOVIE OUT SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!





OMG!!!! GUYS!!!! The Dark Knight Rises will be out soon!!!!!!!!








-----------------------
....Yeah mostly that. So be happy that I held off posting here that much.

Also, BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was happy for getting a ticket for our local theater's midnight showing.

Then I came back from lunch and our high school intern was on her way out to see it because her friend works for the theater.

*shakes fist*

I like that poster! Adam West was my hero when I was a little kid. He actually had the opportunity to play Batman seriously on the final season of the old Superfriends cartoon. I was in nerd bliss when he turned up as the Gray Ghost on Batman TAS.

And Mr. Limbaugh needs to reduce his "intake" and learn how to google things before swallowing his foot on the radio. ;)

I sincerely hope no one here was in the middle of the terrible thing that has happened overnight in Colorado.

Movies have always been a "safe harbor" to me. Some of my happiest memories are from being in a movie theater. For someone to do something like this sickens me and makes me angry.

I was going to go to my local theater at midnight, but I was too exhausted.

very sad to hear.  

i doubt this will make a dent or impact on the movie

release though. people will still go in droves though.

which they should if they are interested.

it's not like this will happen again.

but hopefully they will keep what happened

in perspective.

later

Horrible. The midnight show became almost like a rite of passage in your teens. Agreed that it hopefully has nothing to do with the film's story, lest there be attempts to place blame on the filmmakers. (Much as with the crimes blamed on Clockwork Orange) A cinema is the one of the few places in the world to me that is truly sacred. What really disgusts me beyond that is the fact that this obviously happened while the movie was playing with people sitting unaware in the dark. (As a Hitchcock nut I cannot fail to see the parallels with the similar scene in Saboteur.)

I should see the movie later today at the IMAX.

A guy I went to college with was in that theater. He got 8 bullets, thankfully none hit anything vital. Had he not been standing, he would got them all in the chest. They're leaving the bullets in, but he'll be fine and should be able to go home today!

He and his wife had just moved to Colorado Springs a few weeks ago, and then were evacuated to Denver because of the fires. They didn't have any friends or support out there, but another friend of mine's mom is from there and had her church go to help them out, which they appreciate.

The usual talking heads will be on the airwaves blaming the entertainment industry soon enough. I don't know if anyone can ever find rhyme or reason in the mind of someone deranged enough to shoot a celebrity, a politician, or a group of innocent people.

I happen to live in one of the towns where a theater shooting occurred at a screening of The Warriors in 1979. That cast a long enough shadow the city asked the cable company to black out an HBO showing on Halloween two years later.

They're leaving the bullets in? Wow. I would think that would cause problems later on. Glad your friend will be okay.

I would think the Paris premiere is being cancelled out of respect. It would be construed as being in poor taste to have a splashy red carpet event right now.

Metreon IMAX in San Francisco. Can't find a pic with the screen, but it's huge and wonderful.

I'll be at this one, 3:45 am Friday morning!

I went at 8am. When people starting walking out of the 3:45am show, I was tempted to continuously yell, "FAN FILTRAAAAAAAATTTIIIOOOOOONNN!!" Alas, I did not.

What about a sober red carpet event, concentrating on the film with fundraising for the victim's families?

I imagine the studio and the filmmakers may organize some sort of event along those lines, or donate a portion of the profits.
