The Alamo has throw together quite an event for the first day of release:
I'm really tempted to participate in that one.
BATMAN BEGINS raised the bar for comic book movies, and from everything we’ve seen so far, THE DARK KNIGHT is poised to grab that bar, do a chin up, pull itself on top of the bar, swing around it like a gymnast, launch fifty feet into the air, land on a rafter looking down at the bar, then destroy that old bar with a rocket launcher. In other words, we can not wait for July 18, when this film will finally be released.
And so to make sure we are fully ready and celebrating this moment properly, we’re putting together an opening night celebration like nothing else on the planet. As in our Ultimate Indiana Jones Adventure, we’ll be renting a big bus and planning another grown ups field trip, this time taking the lucky ticket holders down south to Bracken Cave, the cave with the largest Mexican freetail bat population on the planet. You think it’s fun to sit under the Congress Bridge and watch the bats exodus? Multiply that by a thousand.
Then, safely away from the bats, we'll have an extravagant feast that will make you feel like millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. Then it's back to the city for another adventure or two (if anyone knows where we can find a functioning grappling hook that will shoot out of a gun and let us climb the Frost Bank Tower, please let us know), before finally returning to the South Lamar theater to watch THE DARK KNIGHT.
Seriously, this will be the kind of all-inclusive evening that will virtually guarantee that when you go to sleep that night you’ll get to have one of those bad ass dreams where you’re actually Batman. The rest of the world will be watching THE DARK KNIGHT, but we’ll be living it.
I'm really tempted to participate in that one.
