Yes, the Lit Lounge was part of the record box office last weekend. "The Dark Knight" is so much more than a comic book movie; it's a classic tragedy with well-developed characters (thanks to the Nolan Bros. excellent screenplay), brilliant acting (Heath Ledger is amazing, as is Christian Bale), and stunning cinematography (see how many Chicago sites you recognize). But it is not a film for young kids. That's why I was stunned to see a tow-headed boy, maybe 8 or 9, right in front of me yesterday. What's more surprising is how many parents take their kids to a movie like this and complain about the violence - what were they thinking?
