Joanna and I attended the NYC screening last night. Pretty good turn out. We had a late dinner with filmmaker Brett Culp and his family last night before taking the 2.5hr drive home at 11:45. :scared-eek: The movie continues to receive praises by most everyone who sees it. I've heard very very few negative comments about it and those critiques weren't really about the content at all. But about things like running time and stuff like that. Two of the "heroes" in the film were in attendance. Jill who was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at a very young age. Jill used to dream of acquiring super powers so she could overcome her disease, but when she got older and realized that wasn't going to happen, she latched onto Batman because of his humanity and lack of powers. She's an editor at the women's pop-culture site The Mary Sue.
The other "hero" was Rabbi Cary Friedman. His mother was a holocaust survivor. He used the Batman stories as a filter to process the horrific stories about the events of the holocaust and living through it told to him by his mother and other survivors. He is also the author of Wisdom From the Batcave.
I had my fingers crossed that I'd also get to meet NJ resident Michael Uslan. He co-owns the film rights to the Batman character and is the executive producer on pretty much every Batman movie or tv product including cartoons dating back to the 1989 Batman move with Michael Keaton. Unfortunately he's on the west coast right now. But he is a personal hero of mine and is featured in the film heavily.
Tonight Joanna, kids, and I are meeting Pauly and his fam for the Baltimore screening and a little food prior. Lenny Robinson will be present at this screening. He's yet another "hero" from the movie and is famous around the world for the viral police video of Lenny getting pulled over in Maryland in his black Lamborghini dressed as Batman. He is a millionaire who spends his time and money traveling across the country visiting children's hospitals. He was en route to a hospital when he was pulled over...

I want to encourage you all again to check the show times at wearebatman.com and see if there is a planned screening near you and maybe visit the online store. All net proceeds from all ticket and tie-in sales go to charity in some way whether local at a screening or more national through the site. I promise you won't be disappointed.

He moves around on the top of my sub, but every time he approaches an edge he turns around and moves another direction (this happens over the course of weeks, or months). Once I can see his "travels" on the top from across the room, I know its time to dust.
