elfsOmaha and I just went to see The Dark Knight, which really is as good as everyone is saying it is. I won't spoil it for you other than to tell you that Ledger, Bales, and Oldman really earned their pay, and it's a shame that Ledger is gone because he really nailed the part well.
On the other hand, I cannot freaking believe this got a PG-13 rating. The violence, especially the interpersonal violence involving knives and so forth, is completely not appropriate even for 13 year olds. There were parents who took their seven and eight year olds into this theater, for the 9:00pm-11:30pm showing for Set's sake, and this movie is completely not for those kids. I hope those parents deal with bedwetting-level nightmares of clowns with knives carving grins into their faces. For weeks.
This only shows how the MPAA is a complete and total sham, from their ratings system to their copyright madness.
Oh, and in the theater I saw a poster for a remake of Deathrace 2000. It's a little out of date, so this time it's just Deathrace. I can only hope they retained the cheese.
