I have this thing about retiring t-shirts when they have past their prime. Once it is retired i put it in a box and throw the bitch in the attic or give it to good will…but i don’t wear it again. There is this one shirt that i’ve had for a while, since like 8th grade maybe, christmas present come to think of it…a gray reg’lar ass t shirt from Abercrombie that says JOKER in red letters over the chest. Its so comfortable but i feel like ive just worn it out and some big event needs to set in to retire this thing.
With that being said, I saw a sneak peak of Batman The Dark Knight tonight. And it rocked my socks. I was
Joker face with a batman smile...thats art.
befuddled. I was amazed. But most importantly…i was 2 days ahead of when i thought i was going to see it. See i got a call from an unnamed associate that Jordans furniture employees got to see a screening and i could sneak in with a little help. So i did.
It was time sensitive so I had to be at the IMAX theatre in like 8 minutes after i received this anonymous tip. At first I contemplated not going because me and rooney already had jerseys on to attend a “players and cheerleaders” party or some shit. Then my brother chimed in from his bedroom “its like 4 minutes down the road you’re a fucking idiot if you dont at least try” and he was right. I was anticipating this movie more than any other movie in my life. More than toy story, toy story 2 (a 3 is actually in the making), spiderman 2, 3, harry potters, xmen, superbad (which i also lucked into a premiere…how i dont really remember), any of the oceans movies, austin powers…more than anything. Then the studio gives you 7 minutes of the movie before I am Legend (we got there 5 minutes late but i didnt worry cuz i had already seen it). Then Then Heath Ledger up and croaks. So now i have an opportunity to see this shit 2 days in advance and i fuckin did it on a whim.
I’d give a review of the movie but i dont want to ruin it for anyone.
I will say 3 things about it now though :
- maggie gillenhaal is no katie holmes…shes a good actress but ugly as sin.
- see the damn movie
- Its come a long way since this
Oh yeah and then after we saw the movie i took off my jersey and realized what i had on as an undershirt. Wouldn’t you know it my goddamn a&f JOKER found his way into the movie too… maybe he found the perfect way to retire or maybe he could just live on in infamy…i dunno it was unintentional and its a damn comfy shirt so i dont think i have to retire him just yet.
Wow its 3:27am and i’m still running on adrenaline from seein that movie.
