MONDAY HANGOVER: Annoying Dark Knights

This is a statement to half the people at the 7:30 p.m. showing of The Dark Knight at Broadway Faire on Saturday:  You guys are a bunch of jackasses!

Children were there.  Like, five-year old children.  At a hard PG-13 flick.  Babies too.  Fucking babies.  Hell, I think some woman gave birth.  And there was the laughing.  Laughing at all the wrong lines.  I've never been part of a dumber audience in Fresno before.  But, at one point, it was nice to see an usher make a texting teen put his phone away.  Of course the kid went right back to it the moment the usher left, but the effort was made.

Then, there was this guy having an utterly meaningless twenty-minute conversation on his cell phone.  It was before the previews, but still.  Everyone around him was forced to listen to the whole inane thing.  But you, you have a choice of listening to a couple minutes of it.

Oh, the movie, yeah.  It's already been said all weekend, but The Dark Knight is a near perfect movie.  Should be the first true comic book movie to get a Best Picture nod.  If a damn musical can get Best Picture, The Dark Knight sure as hell should.
