movies
I just saw The Dark Knight, which was awesome, awesome, awesome. I see a lot of movies in the theater. A whole lot. This is, I believe, a complete list of everything I've watched in the theater this year:
[Juno] (saw it again this year, but it was a release from last year)
Teeth
Be Kind Rewind
Charlie Bartlett
21
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Iron Man
Baby Mama
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Kung Fu Panda
The Incredible Hulk
[This American Life live broadcast]
Mongol
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
[Mike Judge & Don Herzfeldt present: The Animation Show]
A Jihad for Love
WALL-E (x2)
The Visitor
Batman: The Dark Knight
I enjoyed all the movies on this list. Out of them, 21 was my least favorite and had the gapingest plot holes. Juno, Iron Man, WALL-E, and Batman were my favorites. I'd also be likely to watch Charlie Bartlett, Be Kind Rewind, and Kung Fu Panda again. They were all quite good and I think would definitely be enjoyable upon repeat viewings. Baby Mama and Forgetting Sarah Marshall both surprised me by being quite funny, but I'm not sure I ever would specifically seek them out to watch again. The Visitor (about immigrants and a crotchety old economics professor) and A Jihad for Love (a documentary about gay Muslims) were very good, but probably too depressing for me to be excited about watching them again any time soon.
I see a lot of movies -- but looking through the list of releases from this year, I realized there are a bunch I've missed that I'd still like to see. The Fall, in particular. Any other recommendations for things I should see?
Also, based on a conversation coming out of the theater, empirical evidence is needed on the following questions:
