Reid About It

Best movie ever?

Maybe, but we'll talk more about Mama Mia later.

Like millions and millions of you, I have now seen The Dark Knight. No spoilers here, but it's a great movie. Note I didn't say it was a great comic book movie, it's just a great movie. You could take off the makeup and batsuit, and you'd still have a fantastic crime thriller. It's the movie the last two "Die Hard" movies should have been.

(The trailer for "Watchmen"? Nicely done, but I still can't see it working.)

By the way, my theatre had a sign on the "Meet Dave" movie poster out front, announcing that they wouldn't be showing the Eddie Murphy movie so they could save another showing of "The Dark Knight." I can only assume the sign apologizes for the complete lack of inconvenience.

Great performances all around, but I will have to say it's not worth abandoning your kid in the car for.

Now that's true geekhood, to the point of ignoring all else. This guy has to think that at some point, his kid is going to grow up to be as big of a geek as his dad, and they'll share a bonding moment over the time Daddy abandoned him in the car to see the Batman movie.
