Now is the time, before it's too late. In case you have no idea, The Dark Knight is the BEST Batman movie to date (yes, even Nicholson's version of the joker included). The movie itself is kind of slow at times, but the overall performance was outstanding.
Yet, this past weekend, TDK was not number 1 at the box office. As of the time I type this, it fell to number two behind "Tropic Thunder" for this weekend. As of now, TDK has pulled in $471 million. The craptastic movie "Titanic" still sits at $600 million (these numbers reflect cost of ticket at the time) although it took them re-releasing it to the theatres to do so.
So, let me issue a challenge to all the car guys/gals and anyone else reading this. Today is Tuesday, August 19th. I challenge everyone to go see TDK at least once between now and August 31st. I have already seen it three times and am looking to go again !!
I have no idea what date they are planning on pulling it out of the movie houses, but if it is still making money, I doubt they will do so. There is no way TDK should be beaten by Titanic, regardless how many times Titanic was re-released at the box office.
So, take your children (even if they sleep through it), your wife/girlfriend (or both at the same time if you are so bold), your neighbor, your mom/dad, your long lost friend, your worst enemy, or some stranger begging change on the corner. JUST GO SEE IT !! See it again if you've already seen it... it just gets better every time - you notice more innuendo and hidden clues every time you do so !!
Anyone interested in making it a group outing, leave me a message on my TDK Guestbook.
Also, please leave me feedback on my TDK Guestbook if you took my challenge !!
Thanks !
Warmer weather April 20, 2008 04:04
Well, warmer weather has finally arrived. It only took 3 extra weeks to see 70 degree weather, but at least it is here. Along with warmer weather, comes more chances to get together, meet new people, and work on cars :)
For anyone within 50 miles of Lexington, I invite you to come hang out with us car nuts at Parkette Drive-In on thursday evenings. People start showing up around 8:30 or 9:00 at night and usually hang out until after 11 or so. The business hasn't re-opened yet, but due to the lack of violence and destruction of property, the owners have yet to ever run anyone off, or ask that we not come.
There are usually between 60-75 cars every week, and usually close to 100 people or so. As long as nothing ever gets damaged or stolen, I would venture to say that the new owners will likely never mind us coming. We have had police officers drive by dozens of times and not once have they ever stopped in and asked us to leave. There are actually a couple of officers that come in thier personal vehicles.
Come on out and join us in the fun. If you do come, look for my car and stop by and chat a minute. I'm usually the shy guy walking around looking at other cars but not instigating conversation, though I will always speak to anyone that speaks first :) Hope to see you there!
By the way, if you have a minute, post up your car pictures on my OTHER COOL CARS page. Mustang or not, if its your special project/baby/daily driver, post it anyway... Thanks!
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
