Ears

Somewhere near the beach in Delaware...

"Zzzzzz..."

"Hey."

"Zzzzz..."

"HEY."

"Zzzz...What?"

"Did you hear something?"

"No."

"No? You didn't hear that? Are you sure it's safe here?"

"Of course it is. You worry too much. This is the life."

"Maybe I...Wait, did you hear that? Smell that? I think something is beneath us!"

"Quit overreacting. It's a beautiful day."

"But I just sense..."

"Quiet!"

"Zzzzz...."

"Hmm. I wonder what that dark shape is down..."

"AHHHHHHH!!"


"We're gonna need a bigger sink...!"

"What is that, a bazooka?"

"In a row?"

Yes, that many years in a row as of today. (I just read Jack White and I have the same birthday. Awesome!) When I first saw this next clip, at age 14 or so, I remember thinking, "Dude, thirty-seven is waaaay old". It seemed ancient at the time. And, well, here I am...

...still not that far removed from 14, obviously. (Aside from one of my favorite Onion articles, the number 37 always makes me think of one movie in particular.)

Early reviews of The Dark Knight have been raves, and tickets are already selling out on Fandango and Moviefone. Piles of money will be made (and torched?!?) opening weekend and strong word of mouth should continue healthy box office throughout the summer...I'll be at an IMAX theater near midnight very soon!

But as we get closer to opening night, I only have one question: where is a key U.S. Senate member and lifelong Batman fan in this next Clockwork Orange-esque clip?

Lady Liberty
