London Ninja

I had been waiting for Dark Knight all summer since its announcement and of course, the death of Heath Ledger (RIP). Action. Romance. Love. Chicks. Chicks making out (rumoured). It’s got it all, and I finally get to watch it….October 9th. I can’t wait!!! Literally…I can’t wait.

So given Dark Knight was filmed in 65mm IMAX film for four action-packed sequences, that’s the way you’re supposed to watch it…in an IMAX theatre near you. Unfortunately, London only has 1 IMAX theatre, the SouthBank which sold all seats for like 2 months right away. If you’ve ever been in a IMAX theatre before, you know that if you sit anywhere near the front, you will not see anything but blur, especially in action sequences. Given it costs around 13 quid to watch this film, I figure I have to make sure I’m in the middle, about 4 rows from the back. Those are the prime seats. And, yes, I have to wait over a month to watch it. It better be the best film I’ve ever seen as it will be both the most expensive film I’ve ever seen as well as the longest I’ve ever had to wait for a movie between buying the tickets and actually watching it. Bloody hell.
