Batman blows 'em away at midnight

I would ask what you're doing this weekend, but apparently you (and everybody else) will be waiting in line to see Batman: The Dark Knight.

In midnight showings alone last night, it grossed a record $18.5 million. Round here, The Dark Knight showed on 17 of 18 screens at the Rave theater at 12:01.

A co-worker who went to see it said it took him 20 minutes to get out of the parking lot around 3 a.m. That's some serious devotion to a fictional character, huh?

Check out Christopher Kelly's five-star review of the film here. And listen to me and some pals jabber on about it in this week's Ready, Set, Go! podcast. That's me dancing on Heath Ledger's grave.
