The Dark Knight: The Meet

BarTopDancer · 07-14-2008, 10:35 AM

There was some talk of seeing The Dark Knight in the other thread, but it didn't get very far.

This is for those who don't already have plans to see it.

I suggest a Friday night (late show) or Saturday afternoon show with dinner after. Since several of the scenes are filmed for the IMAX screen I think an IMAX theater would be best.

Being that I'm suggesting this meet I suggest the Friday, 10pm show or a Saturday show at the Spectrum IMAX. But I understand it's far from everyone else, however the Spectrum is right by a train station.

So let's discuss.

ETA - it looks like the last metrolink train out of the Irvine station on Saturday is at 6:30pm.

If you guys go Friday, we can't go then (but have a blast - I hear it'll be great!) If you guys go Saturday, we might definitely be interested. We'll see it Saturday somewhere, anyway!

OC is a bit far for us, but I'll keep a watch on the thread. I miss you peoples!

Dude.

I'm jealous.

We'll be going up here, so if anyone wants to book a flight to SLC, we'd be glad to entertain!

I'm tempted. We're definitely going to see it this weekend. The last three movies we've been to have been at the new theater at the Americana in Glendale. It's a nice theater with stadium seats - and there's never a line. The only problem is that the crowd is never one that I can identify with (i.e. not as many fanboys/girls and more HS kids and families), so I feel I'm missing a key part of the opening weekend experience.

The Americana has been very good to me so far as the blockbusters go, MP is right -- no crowds. But MP is also right about the audience, last Saturday I had to get up from my seat and 'talk' to a group of kids who wouldn't shut up or stop using their phones to text. They stopped, all right, but you don't get that sort of thing at the Arclight. Regardless, I'll be at the Americana, it is just too much a part of my routine for me to stop going now.

I'm thinking the 7pm show would be good, we should probably have a contingency in line about 5:30 or 6 though. If people wanted to come early we could meet for margaritas at the Mexican joint (or the Chipotle) first.

There aren't assigned seats, so once we decide anyone can buy a ticket if they want to come.
