Tuesday Show Prep - Freaky Clown edition at ProductionNinja.com

FBN: Many many people saw The Dark Knight over the weekend. The sequel to Batman Begins took in $155 million, topping Spidey 3 for the biggest weekend opening of all time (while at the same time being an enjoyable movie… unlike Spidey 3). I saw it with a few friends on Friday afternoon, so luckily we were able to completely avoid the crowds. What kind of wait would you be willing to endure to see the Caped Crusader? Better yet, what villain would you like to see in the sequel that is surely on the horizon? Keep in mind that Christopher Nolan has said that he doesn’t want to have any “supernatural” characters.
Reuters: Here’s yet another case of life imitating the Mythbusters… A man blew up his apartment while spraying for bugs. If I remember correctly, the Mythbusters proved that it was possible to do that, but it would take an almost impossibly large amount of bug spray. So I’d say that this guy didn’t have an apartment, he had termites holding hands. Kari Byron was unavailable for comment.
WBBM 780: I am about to give you a completely irresistable reason to drop whatever you happen to be doing and head to Chicago for the Air and Water Show next month: Not only will Gary Sinise be there with the Lt. Dan Band, but Bill Murray will also be jumping out of an airplane. Murray will be joining the Golden Knights for the day on August 15th… I expect video will be on YouTube shortly thereafter.
Sun-Crimes: Speaking of Chicago, a 16-inch Softball Hall of Fame will be opening in Forest Park. Yes, it’s Cooperstown for people with beer guts. I say it’s about time. What’s your vote for a completely unneccesary Hall of Fame? Obviously I think the southern counterpart would be the paintball hall of fame.
CNN: Things just keep getting better in Zimbabwe. They have a new dictator to rule over them with an iron fist, and now they could all very easily be billionaires. The central bank there has introduced $100 billion banknotes in a desperate bid to ease the recurrent cash shortages plaguing the inflation-ravaged economy. $100 billion… we haven’t seen inflation like that since the Carter years.

1. Dark Knight on IMAX = omgwtfbbq

2. I’m going to go with the Fight Club theory on this one and say he just left the gas on.

3. Why does Bill Murray jumping out of an airplane make me want to watch Groundhog Day?

4. You wish you had a 16-inch soft ball.

5. I think they included one of those bills with the last of those annoying AOL CDs I got in the mail back in the 90’s.

Surely the phrase “omgwtfbbq” has not been used enough on this particular blog…

Plus, remember when it finally got too expensive for them to actually send those annoying AOL CD’s to everyone in the continental US, so they just sent a metric ton of them to every single Wal-Mart in the western hemisphere?

I saw it mid-day on Monday. It was absolutely legendary. I can see why Ledger is being considered by many for a posthumous Oscar. Whether or not this is one of the ultimate causes of his death, it’s pretty intense and one might see why it might spark depressed feelings for the actor portraying that kind of character.
