When I saw Batman: The Dark Knight, on the Sunday evening of its opening weekend I was definitely tired. My weekend had already involved some binge drinking and bad decisions - we even hit up a Sunday afternoon happy hour after our softball game. Was I at the top of my game for the 7:30 p.m. showing? No. Could I have fallen asleep at a moments notice? Yes. Was I about to fall asleep during The Dark Knight? Fuck no!
Well, Rory Gibson did. The staff-writer at Australia’s Courier-Mail, who’s in charge of writing about beer (yes, now I hate him even more) fell asleep during his viewing of the summer blockbuster. The only complaint about the film that I’ve heard is how much the tone of Christian Bale’s voice changes when he’s Batman. Anyway…water under the bridge. But Gibson goes off, stating that the film is “too long”, “too boring,” and the plot is “so convoluted it could only have been written by a dyslexic 12-year-old dosed up on Ritalin.” Then closes with, “Trust me, life is too short to waste time with this appalling movie.”
I would like to use Rory Gibson to make that pencil disappear.
