What kind of asshole goes and pulls the fire alarm immediately following the moment when Heath Ledger’s Joker makes a pencil disappear as part of a very unique, brutal trick? I’ll tell you who: some moron at the Arclight tonight, not thirty minutes after our midnight screening began. I so wanted to get up in front of the crowd and pretend I was an usher, reassure everybody that there was no fire, and then admit that I didn’t work at the theater, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Unfortunately, stage fright got the best of me. I guess the asshole who pulled the fire alarm did help me get a free pass to a future movie anytime I want. Whatever, the movie was very, very good. I’ll be sure to write all about the highs, the lows (boat votes, anyone?), the weird (Richard Alpert sighting, plus Zeus from No Holds Bard), and even my thoughts on Heath Ledger’s rave reviews…starting tomorrow morning.
It’s 4am now, and I have to work today.

I was ready to stab that guy. But shit, it was a damn good prank and that guys got balls, no matter what the joker said.
