I and Lucy went to see "The dim Knight Rises" this past Saturday. Never grand on the Batman Trilogy but I guess due to all the HYPE in the media and sadly i deem because of the horrific killings connected with this movie we went to see it. Perhaps tiring to find some connection,some coherent reason as to WHY this man would use this movie as his back drop for insanity AND MASSACRE. We went to the 4:45pm showing hoping to avoid lines and of course pay the matinee price.
Surprisingly there wasn't a lot of people at our showing, approximately 30 people. As I sat in my chair the lights went down to introduce the preview trailers. At that moment I began to feel, or dread and fearful. Suddenly it was important for me to note all my exists,seating block, distance to the screen and those around me and Lucy. Our theater was no different than the one in Aurora CO. Newburgh, and NY is no different than Aurora either I thought. Looking over our theater i became panicked,fearful as if I was being channeled by the those destitute souls in Colorado. Only 2 ways out the front exist near screen and the way we came in. We were all contained, caged like animals in a pen. The overwhelming HORROR AND FRIGHT was enveloping me. I wanted to leave but felt kind of frozen. My theater only had approximately 30 patrons unlike the 200 movie goers in Aurora. I could totally feel the panic, or helplessness,horrifying fear that they must fill felt. In this black dim cage it would be easy to kill. Taking some deep breaths at the advise of Lucy I seemed to be calming down, but than it hit me again. The weep's of Agony, and weep's of terrorism ,weep's of utter helplessness, hoping, or begging for MERCY from a MERCILESS crazy MAN!!!! The brutal yet primal instinct to ESCAPE at any cost. These feelings were nearly overwhelming. They were CHILLING TO MY CORE,LIKE A "FINAL DESTINATION" MOVIE. I kept my eyes on the exits, no cracks of light coming thru i thought. It was so real to me I could see the crazy MAN standing in front of the movie screen dressed in "black ops" gear, or guns and ammo strapped to his body. A mask making him more chilling and horrifying. And I ,all of us hesitating, thinking, or hmmm is this weirdo portion of the show???? And in our hesitation condemning ourselves to the craven whims of a crazy MAN!!. I expressed my thoughts of leaving to Lucy. She felt it too but we decided to rob control and calm ourselves. The movie began and let me give Lucy and my opinion on this movie. IT SUCKED!!!!! grand TIME!!! Honestly people this movie was terrible. Endless scenes of seemingly dramatic dialog that went absolutely no where,no connection to the next scene, no continuity at ALL. So chopped up we were not sure why what was happening, and was happening. What was so important approximately "BANE" he was just another under developed villain in this movie. It was scandalous,we wanted it to end!!! No path forward to the end, it was like the editor chopped up all the scenes, and put them in a grand jar,shuck it for 1 minute, than poured all the pieces of film out and spliced them all together without and formula, and rhyme or reason. Like the grand pile of Chinese food I ate after the movie. BQ sliced ribs,rice &veggies, crab meat, and stuffed mushrooms,lomein, and General Toa's chicken all in 1 grand pile. I only wish the movie was as good as the food, and alas it was not!!. Christan Bale "A BORE" Everyone else "A BORE TOO" I realize the movie studio has nothing to enact with the Hannis actions of a crazy MAN,but we could not serve thinking, "god dam" all those destitute people died for this movie???? When the movie ended we were so glad, or not that we even knew the movie was ending but glad none the less. Incredible there were people clapping!! and obviously very gratified with this movie. I looked at Lucy and she at me and I said "didn't they see what we just saw" ???? Again,in my,our opinion the Movie "The dim Knight Rises" WAS VERY scandalous, and I wouldn't rent as a DVD. Don't waste your money. Go see "Savages" best movie of the year!!! Jose Williams
