Night for a Knight

Well, Carmike Theaters botched it. They just sold tickets, but not theaters. We got there an hour before the show and still they tried to force us to take front row seats. Keith and Jeffy would not have it, protested and started a cadre of followers unwilling to take front row. I agreed, but would have submitted anyway.

Since we were early, it made no sense to disallow us to seat together in comfortable seats. They weren't even ushering people to specific theaters. After a long stand-in, the theater relented and shuttled us to another cinema they opened for the show. At showtime, the projector or film failed and we waited longer.

The movie is very violent. A PG-13 rating was a bad call. People die violent deaths and it is dark, like the title. The Joker is a deranged psychotic, played very well by now-past Ledger. I think most people will like the movie.

Not really spoilers, they are vague until you watch the movie
I am too critical, so I will note that there were some interesting parts with creativity.
How to get a well-protected suspect out of a skyscraper.

You are going to blackmail who?
I'll make this pencil disappear.
I want my phone call.
Charles was disappointed that the Joker-Batman battle took too long to develop and that it wasn't portrayed nearly as well as in the comic. Harvey Dent, um ... too quick I think and should have been "Hey, guess who's the next villain?"

Lori called at 3:40 looking for Keith. Oops, it was late, discovered Keith. Yep! Keith and Charles got back late and each had to start their early days.
