It's all about Tropic Thunder. I'm counting the days.

Actually, I just saw the trailer for Green Street Hooligans . .and, um, it looks better than Dark Knight.

Um, hello? There's a little film coming out by the name of "Mama Mia." Maybe you've heard of it?

I know only I care, but less than 24 hours. I can tell from the trailers that I won't be satisfied due to the hype. Shows are sold out already for tomorrow.

HL got great reviews in The Dark Knight and there's supposed to be an awesome chase scene. One of the best ever. I want to see Hellboy2 more though.

I'm thinking of seeing the dark knight in IMAX. I heard the chase scene was really great.

Yes. I wish I had seen it on IMAX.

A few things. It is long. It is dark. I mean more close to Clockwork Orange kind of dark. I wouldn't take a kid under 15 to see it.

I don't think it is going to be the blockbuster people are expecting in the U.S. There just isn't any sugar.

I liked it - didn't love it - and I think critics loved it because they are the type of people that like to spend a nice day, all day, in a dark theater.

I think this compares to Heaven Up Here in its dark feeling.

Oh and HARVEY DENT. Whoa.

I dunno...

The new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight," grossed a record $18.5 million from midnight preview screenings ahead of its official opening on Friday, according to box office tracking service Media By Numbers.

Give it two weeks. See if the numbers stay strong.

It sounds like a pass for me. I can't watch anything that totally dark and scary.
I've heard that Hellboy2 is pretty good. I loved the first one. I usually wait a while and then go raid my brother's bedroom. He gets almost every DVD as soon as it comes out and I know he loves Hellboy.
