My IMAX Experience: TDKR

Heya populate! I am officially a city baptist! I just viewed a movie in IMAX for the first time! Woot-Woot! I fill… born again! OK, I might have just exaggerated a tad bit there My lovely sister and I went to watch The Dark Knight Rises at the 6:00pm showing at 20th Century Cinemas, and it was amazing. It was so appallingly amazing that I might have just shed a tear or twenty seven as the credits boomed away. It might just be because I have been watching a lot of sad old movies for the last two weeks or it just might be the new technology up in that theatre. As a proud village girl, my sober part of my mind thinks it’s the tech part. It was amazing! My sister had already experienced the IMAX movie experience {forgive me for saying this. I am just excited! OK? Cut me some slack won’tcha?} in Jakarta, India & I was therefore the only one allowed to unleash my inner ferocious ‘villageness’.

My excitement got me to think of a few tips for you [yes!] when headed down to IMAX. My excitement is clearly flaunting my recently gained machoness:

1.) If you’re a student, go with your school identification card. You get a discount. I love discounts. Do you love discounts? Go with your student I.D!

2.) Do not slap the lady next to you who giggles every time Anne Hathaway’s behind is on screen. Let me make this clear: Anne’s gluteus maximus is definitely on the maximum! It’s like Pablo Picasso’s work; gorge! But I beg, do not be sucked in by the mighty oh so mighty force that will make you want to slap the lady every time that happens. A beg! That said, I am not a fan of this fad going around with some Kenyans using fake accents. It was for emphasis.

3.) For the man just above your sit who so often insists on announcing to everyone that he has a bad sore throat, do not slap him too! He just has it. He cannot do anything about it. Well, except not be so kind to announce it. You might as well M-Pesa the man, but do not slap him! And if you slap him, you might just inherit the sore throat. Yes, inherit!

4.) I have this bad behavior [per my friends] where I hate on people eating popcorns in the movie theatre- because the snack spreads this funny pee smell. If you have the same notion [which I fear is not that widespread], here’s tip no. 4: Don’t slap the popcorn eaters! Just imagine their eating maize. Popcorn is actually maize, right? Now imagine it’s roasted maize. Lie to your nose buds

5.) You are allowed to cry! Do not fear! If you don’t carry tissues in your pocket or bag, it’s OK to carry some when you go to IMAX. Maybe they sell them there? They should… I digress. You are in the movie dammit! Cry if you can. I know you can! OK, unless you are Bane. Nope! Even Bane cried!

Clearly, I am no movie buff [HA!] but one thing for sure I enjoyed the movie on the IMAX upgrade. I am late to the whole IMAX charade but I have a good excuse: school! Yes, it’s my viable reason for not being up to date with things in the city- in the name of priorities. Get used to it! Being a little bit cheeky, aren’t I? Well, blame it on Anne’s behind!

If you haven’t gone to IMAX yet, go. It’s OK! It’s not for bougie homo sapiens, trust me. My pujaa-wearing b’hind would have been kicked out of the building; security breach. Go have fun and upgrade your systems. And let me tell you something, Anne’s behind from your TV and on the IMAX screen is of different levels! Believe me! I know! [Ha!]

On TDKR, it was a brilliant movie. Forgive the redundancy. For those who have watched it, here’s a question: Did you know Bane (Tom Hardy) in real life is handsamu? That’s Handsome in Japanese. I promise! I was so engrossed with the film that I thought he actually dorned a muzzle in real life! I blame it on IMAX. Haha. Why did I think that?

BOOM! Mind-blown? I am! And yeah, that counts!

With regard to Anne Hathaway’s b’hind, I am straight by the way. Don’t get it twisted.
