It was clearly a theater filled with freelancers who didn't want to deal with the crowds. At the end their was polite opera-clapping. Very civilized.

(the pencil disappearing specifically). it was really odd. everyone was reallllly excited. very interesting. super amazing movie though. and i liked your analogy with the lion. agreed on ledger’s performance.

There's just not the same intensity here in Richmond. Yes Dark Knight is awesome. It's refreshing when the hero is more than window dressing to a villains origin as has been the case with many of the previous movies. I'm glad they ignored the Jokers origin and focused on Dent since his story ties so closely with Wayne/Batmans. One of my favorite lines? The Joker asking for his phone call. It's perfectly ok to slam fussy nerds into lockers. It fuels the anger that eventually brings us stuff like IPods and video game consoles in their quest for world domination. Seriously, how many lockers did Bill Gates get slammed into? I miss midnight screenings in New York. There’s just not the same intensity here in Richmond.

I've written a bit about the film on my blog, including most recently a response to Keith Uhlich's vitriolic negative review: http://seul-le-cinema.blogspot.com/2008/07/on-violence-and-restraint-in-dark.html Thankfully I avoided the supergeeks at my screening.
