Calling it a party might be a stretch, but I suppose if someone brought a few beers and a deck of cards, at least it might constitute a fun gathering.
The Dark Knight IMAX Experience is playing at the Deer Valley 30 in North Phoenix, and a few of us from Pop Critics will be there for the 3:15 AM showing this Friday morning.
Myself, The Trousered Ape, Cap’n Schwartz and one of our other writers, Richard Porter, will all be in attendance and you are welcome to join us.
Yeah, it’s waaaay frakking early, but since the midnight showing is sold out, we wanted to be among the second people to see The Dark Knight this weekend.
It actually works out pretty well. Go to bed around 6-7 PM, get up around 1 AM and then hit the theater. When the movie ends, you can just go in to work and then crash Friday night.
(I can hear you all laughing)
I’ll be posting a review early that morning most likely, so watch for it. Although I doubt it will be anything but glowing from what Rotten Tomatoes has to say, and Richard Roeper (Best Picture!).
Again, if you want to join the “party”, drop us a comment below or email us via the contact page.







What!?!?!? This is the first I've heard of this “party.” I wasn't even invited!
Just kidding.
You guys suck. No, really. Seeing the movie without me and before me…and on IMAX. Have you no shame? NO SHAME!
Well, raise an overpriced coke and make a toast to me while you're there. I'll be leaving for work around the time you guys are having the time of your summer.
I'm not bitter.
Hmm will have to talk this one. I will definately go if Mike dresses up in a green (or black) spandex suit and dances like Charlie.
3:15…hmmmm…tempting, but i think we'll wait and be part of the 268th people to see it sometime next week. I'm sure it will be awesome, have fun. The good news is when you leave around 5:30 it won't be 110 outside.
I'll send you highlights via text messages all night
More like 5:45 or so…but yeah, it will be niiiice
That has to be an Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference…and if so, you get a point
I told you I don't have a cell phone right? Ah, I see. That's just a cruel joke…
You don't have a DVR OR a Cell Phone??? WOW.
But I can still send you email…
Yes, but don't drop any acid, don't want you necessarily to take a dump in a
garbage can either.
C'mon Scotty you got to go!!! Would be fun! I'm jacked to meet everyone… should be a great time, would love for you to come with us!
Didn't you meet him at the Super Bowl party?
You do know they're in mountain time right? You could see it at midnight and it'll still be Thursday in Arizona.
Mike, I want to go!! Save me a seat.
OOOHHH… I just need to find a way to get in to a midnight show then call them before they go see it so I can brag that I saw it first! Excellent!
Too bad you wont have a cell phone
Touche.
However, I'm sure there are still pay phones somewhere…behind the rundown convenience stores over in the Red Light district or something. I'll manage.
I don't answer calls from pay phones
Will be zombie ALL day Friday. Will be *happy* zombie! Tired zombie, but happy zombie.
If I get in to an earlier show I will go get a Tracfone, find an internet connection and email you with my new phone number so you'll know I'm calling you, then go see the movie, after which I will call you from my Tracfone and brag incessantly about having seen it first, maybe spoil a couple of scenes for you, then I will go to the aforementioned Red Light district where I will unload my newly acquired Tracfone to a hoodlum or lowlife for minimal loss thus continuing to live my life “off network” and showing others they too can stick it to the cellular man.
I'd love to be there and meet everyone, but 3:15 is a tough one. Plus I'm using my guys nite out pass on Friday.
I will too for that!
LOL
Yes but I said meet everyone…
lol
OR, you could use my cell phone. But hey, either way. The Red Light district is fun for me too. =D
You have a cell phone?
What about our plan to stick it to the MAN?!
Seems like you are the only one on board with that plan…time to get that DVR
I got stuck.
SQUEEEEEEE!!!
There's a two-minute Watchmen trailer before TDK!!!
Review of the trailer here!
N.B.: Yes. I'm as excited about the trailer of a movie that over half of America has never heard of as I am about the Bats. And I expect Bats to blow me away.
It was a solid plan.
