Box Office Bats

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Right, so if I want to see The Dark Knight in Imax on opening weekend, these are the showtimes that, as of right now, are still available to me:

  • Saturday, 5 a.m.
  • Sunday, 5 a.m.
  • Sunday, 1:30 a.m. (it’s listed at the end of the day, so I wonder if that’s actually Monday at 1:30…)
  • Monday, 9 a.m.
  • Monday, 12:20 p.m.
  • Monday, 3:40 p.m.
  • Monday, 10:20 p.m.

(When I looked at the list not a half-hour ago, Monday at 7 p.m. was still available, so these things are definitely going quickly.)

What I’m saying is, this. Is. INSANE! There’s no way this movie isn’t going to break every box office opening weekend record.

And, yeah, looking at those options, I think I’ll opt for the non-Imax opening weekend, and catch it on the BIG big screen at a later date.

Telephone Call for Dr. Horrible

Coming this Tuesday!

What? You don’t know what Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is? Okay, check this out:

Awesome, yeah? That’s the brain child of Joss Whedon, folks; always worth a look.

So let’s look forward to seeing part one of this baby on Tuesday!

I Think They’re Trying to Tell Me Something…

One of the RSS feeds I subscribe to in my newsreader is Comic Book Resources , though, honestly, it’s one I ignore more often than I actually take advantage of. It’s the type of feed that innundates you with posts, so it’ll go from zero to 20 unread posts in an hour, and heaven forbid you actually go a day without reading it — there could be 60 or more unread posts waiting for you!

And, of course, it also doesn’t help when I go into the feed and find things like this:

I understand why it happens, but it can make it pretty darn annoying to wade through their feed…
