Holy (insert your own cliche about breaking box office record here), Batman!

THE DARK KNIGHT, a grim, complex, long movie about a crazy man in clown makeup and a slightly less crazy man dressed as a winged rodent, set a new record for opening weekend box office take, earning a whopping $155 million dollars. That’s according to studio estimates (admittedly biased, of course), but it looks like Batman has knocked Spider-Man off the top of the heap. (SPIDER-MAN 3 was the previous champ.)
To my eternal shame, I have not seen it yet, but I’ll bet most of you did. So, what did you think? (And use spoiler warnings, OK? OK!)

I made the mistake of taking my 10-year old son (yes, I know it is PG-13), without seeing it first. Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker, plus the heavy violence performed by the Joker, had my son shaking, hiding his face in his hands, and in tears.
A word of warning to parents. It is very dark, and the violence is grim, sadistic, and frightening.
