I Suck At The Dark Knight

saturday, karen, my friends (marc and kelley) and i went to see a movie. that movie... the dark knight.

now, i suck at the dark knight. marc and kelley actually watched the movie shortly after it came out to the theaters. they had enjoyed it so much, they wanted to see it again... only this time, they were going to watch the movie on imax.

so, saturday morning, the four of us drove to natick. located in natick is the verizon imax 3d theater at jordan's furniture. i have never been to the imax, so it was interesting. the theater had a bourbon street theme to it... complete with beads. when we first walked in, i actually received some beads... and i didn't even have to do anything for them.

the imax theater is very nice. the bathrooms were very clean. karen said that in the women's room, the doors to the stalls were like one-way mirrors. from inside the stall, you could look through the door to the outside... but someone on the outside could not look through the door to see into the stall. i thought that was very neat. sadly, the men's room did not have the interesting doors.

for anyone who has never been to the imax theater in natick (like myself), there is also an area where you can see the staff set up the imax projector and things like that. it was very interesting.

needless to say, the movie... was simply awesome!

(the video below is a trailer for the dark knight.)


the movie itself was well over two hours, but it didn't feel like it at all. watching the dark knight in imax was definitely better than watching it in a regular movie theater because it had very comfortable seats that vibrated or what not during specific scenes of the movie... plus, there were individual speakers for each seat.

after the movie, the four us took a quick tour through the natick collection (as the natick mall has been so renamed) and then had lunch back in quincy at a vietnamese restaurant called pho hua. (cue the rachael ray "yum-o" sound.)

anyway, i thoroughly enjoyed the dark knight. it was a great movie... and i'm not just saying that because i'm a comic book geek. although i suppose... growing up reading comic books didn't hurt. i'm excited for the third movie if they make one. too bad heath ledger won't be in the next one.
