Call us fanatics, fanboys, or simply fans, we're no doubt going to make 'The Dark Knight' our best film of this year. It's hopefully going to score 10 out of 10 on my rating scale. I myself don't really qualify 100% as a Batman fanboy, unlike my friend Terry here. But I'm really pumped up to see this film on the silver screens next week. And what do fanboys do while waiting for their favorite movie to be released on 17 July? They indulge/amuse themselves in fanboism. Here are a few basic things you can do if you can't wait for Batman:
1. Use Blogs, Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon, Twitter or any other Web 2.0 app. to write about it. Express your enthusiasm in your writings.
2. Use Photoshop (or GIMP) to make your photo/face to look like as though it's been vandalized by The Joker. Why so serious?
3. Buy a Dark Knight themed t-shirt. I really bought this t-shirt below, from the US (thanks Terry for sourcing). A fanboy plus point: Wear it on the premiere of Dark Knight in the cinemas.
4. Buy and read Batman graphic novels. Study the subject of Batman, increase your knowledge on it. Terry has bought a lot of them.
5. Watch 'Batman Begins' over and over again on DVD.
6. Talk and have deep discussions with your friends on Batman over at the dining table or mamak stalls.
7. Go to GSC's website and try to email them to ask whether do they have advance booking/sales of 'The Dark Knight' movie tickets. Terry really did email them, but sadly they didn't have advance booking/sales for this show.
8. Get some Batman collectibles.
9. Get a Batman or Joker costume and wear it on the premiere of Dark Knight. But I doubt that there would be people doing it. The Batman fan-base here is not really that strong, compared to Star Wars.
10. Last but not least, joker-ize your pets. Note: Please do it on Photoshop/GIMP, not marker pens and lip-sticks!
This is not really a comprehensive list. I'm out of ideas already. Any thoughts?
This post is dedicated to Terry, for his hard work of getting the tickets for us. Hats off to Terry!
And yes, I haven't given up blogging about movies yet. I still watch movies almost every week, so there's always a reason to blog about it.

I went to watch Hancock last night. Pretty good one.
Going to watch Dark Knight soon. I don't think I like the makeup of Joker this time. Maybe the character consumed Heath Ledger and killed him real life. Was pondering about this... spiritual realm.
