You should've learned that years ago. I'm never right on time for ANY big movie release. I sat in the front for Ghost Protocol and it was one of the worst experiences in recent memory. Wasn't even my fault.

Inception was my first IMAX movie. So yeah, was not exactly experienced with IMAX crowds, also, it was not my fault, was riding with someone else.
 
OMG I'm reading one of the early drafts on the Begins script and there is ANOTHER scene with the homeless coat guy!

EXT. FALCONE'S BASEMENT CLUB, DOCK AREA -- NIGHT

Judge Phelan exits the club, a GIRL on his arm.

BOUNCER
Night, Judge Phelan.

Phelan turns, giddy with drink, puts his finger to his lips.

PHELAN
Shhhhh.

The Girl giggles. Phelan guides her into a waiting limo. A
STREET PERSON comes over to the rear windows of the car,
knocking. The DRIVER gets out.

DRIVER
Get lost!

The Driver KICKS the Street Person away from the limo. A
Homeless Man warming by a fire starts shouting. It is the
Homeless Man that bruce gave his coat to years before. The
coat is worn but recognizable.

HOMELESS MAN
Leave him alone! Let him be!

The limo moves off. Close on the Street Person watching it
leave. IT IS BRUCE. He glances down at a tiny CAMERA in
his lap. Smiles at the screen: Phelan and the Girl.
 
For all the IMAX experts: how early should I arrive for Sunday at 3:30 pm?

Depends on where. But without knowing, an hour and a half to two hours before to be safe. The peace of mind will do you well trust me. The mere fact that you are even asking tells me that you are afraid. Better safe than sorry.

Happy trails Hans.
 
blah blah blah BO discussion is much more exciting http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dark-knight-trilogy-smashes-ticket-194500350.html

Thus far, AMC has sold more than 60,000 advance tickets, with nearly half purchasing a ticket to see all three films – BATMAN BEGINS, THE DARK KNIGHT and THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, at one of the 76 participating IMAX® Digital Theatres.

With the more than 60,000 advance tickets sold, The Dark Knight Trilogy has already doubled AMC’s previous marathon-event record of more than 30,000 tickets to The Ultimate Marvel Marathon in May.
 
There was a 3rd scene where Homeless Guy pushes Bruce Wayne into the bushes, but they felt that was too unrealistic.

Damn. I was hoping tickets for the trilogy would be pretty low so we could easily get good seats. I'm curious if they will make us leave the theater after The Dark Knight or if the screen will strictly be for trilogy viewers any way and they'll let us stay seated.

Dark Knight midnight they were strict about what time they'd let us all go in, so I'm afraid of that happening again and them giving us all the boot to make it fair or some shit.
 
Why the fuck should a bum care about gunfire? HE HEARS IT EVERY NIGHT! HES A FUCKING BUM!

Look at him, he's a scared, pathetic shell of a man. He's not the tough kind of bum that robs people and shit. It doesn't fit his character. It was worse than making Han shoot second!
 
I saw Ebert gave it three stars and rushed tot this thread. You guys did not disappoint.

Also, someone edit Ebert's face onto Bane here.

Imagine if as of TDKR, the only people that know Bruce is Batman is Alfred, Lucius, and Coat Guy. Like, he knew the entire time, but he never revealed it anyone. And he is one of the few to continue to believe in the Batman after Dent's crimes.

Coat Guy is the hero that Batman deserves.

You just spoiled the major plot twist man.

Coat guy doesn't remember. He's probably given so many blow jobs for meth that he can't even remember what he did last week.
 
I have to fly back to Michigan tomorrow afternoon, so I ripped my Batman Begins Blu Ray to my iPad to watch on the plane. I also have the Dark Knight digital copy on there, but there won't be enough time to watch both. Will have to watch DK on Thursday sometime with my friend before we head to the theatre.
 
My reviewer who loves the other Nolan Batman films saw it: "I have about eight million things to say about The Dark Knight Rises -- most of them positive, some in confused frustration. Powerful, epic, filled with moments of grandness, moments of bizarre stupidity." Said he'd give it a B+ probably.

He also said there is
a specific moment (possible one shot) that nearly undercuts the whole finale.
Interested to know what it is.

Fuck, this review is what is deflating my hype the most. Ebert has always been a random son of a bitch, but this guy is apparently a fan just like us. I felt that feeling of disappointment and frustration in the Amazing Spider-Man and how it screwed up its potential to live up to its title, I can't bear to witness TDKR fall short again. Oh well, maybe going into the film dehyped will actually make it a better experience for me.

In response to your semi spoiler:
But haven't most reviewers said the ending is wholly amazing? I need to see this film NOW.
