I aims to please.

[EricJ]

And, as they say in the men's room, "Will you aim too, please?"

[Ben]

Who at…?

[EricJ]

Everybody, as usual.

[Ben]

Oh, no, no. Not *every*body…!

Now that was a summer! I still remember being awed by the Batman preview shown on Entertainment Tonight several weeks earlier. My friends and I couldn't have been more stoked. Saw it opening night, wearing my Bat-shirt!

[ShyViolet]

Yes, definitely! I remember seeing toys and merchandise EVERYWHERE! (I had a three-inch plastic Joker lol.) And lines around the block in front of theaters.

Saw it opening night, wearing my Bat-shirt!

Very cool Rand!


Just found this AWESOME, very obscure (well nowadays) teaser from December 1988; you can tell they were still very much in the editing phase of course…the line readings are a little different than those in the actual movie, plus the background sound/music isn’t quite there. But it’s really cool to see the alternate ways these roles were performed!

Opening night, wow! Never done that myself. Even opening weekend is a rarity!

[Ben]

Really!!!??

I’ve seen so many films opening night! Not so much lately, though I did the midnight shows for the recent Star Wars films and Endgame. It used to be a ritual, though, or at least go and see two movies on opening day!

[Daniel]

I'm frugal and like to avoid crowds!

[Randall]

But crowds make it fun!!

Well, pre-Covid....

[Ben]

Natch.
