Three Cleveland Cinemas theaters will show all three Batman movies on July 19, and frankly we shrieked like excited little J-Pop fans when we heard the news.
Of course we’re talking about Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, not the increasingly shitty franchise that started with the blah 1989 Tim Burton movie.
The Capitol Theatre, Chagrin Cinemas, and Shaker Square Cinemas will show 2005’s Batman Begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by 2008’s The Dark Knight (also known as the Best Comic Book Movie Ever Made) at 9 p.m., leading up to the midnight unveiling of The Dark Knight Rises.
Tickets go on sale at noon on Monday. If you buy the Dark Knight Marathon package at the box office, you get all three movies for $20.
Or if you want to be all high-techy about it, you can buy them online separately — $6 for the older movies, $9 for the new one — or at the theaters.
Yeah, yeah, we know you’re only saving a dollar the other way, but we’re pretty sure Bruce Wayne would approve. —Michael Gallucci

I have not spent much time on cleve.scene as a result of the request by so many who people the news blogs of cleveland and north Ohio. I am not welcome anywhere and have not been for over one year.
By some strange design of the social media and the interpersonal interactions which have resulted, I have spent over a year in verbal combat with individuals in Cleveland and the USA and even the world at large. In Cleveland I have used my own name and that has been a mistake. At first I thought it was the gutty thing to do, but then when I started being hacked even more than I had been before, I realized it may not be the best idea to use your real name when offending people in mass quantities.
Yet the need to be heard still runs my life and my writing and my thinking. Now that I even believe myself when I write, or scribe, or whatever the heck we call this new electronic instant communication and publication, I feel even more resolute and free and vigilant.
I am at the Rocky River Library with free computer services. My services have been disabled at home (again), so here I sit writing away at the very back of the computer room doing my thing.
My thing can now be done at any internet point on earth or (I guess) in the whole universe. Our points of conduction, I believe, have become holographic now, and maybe they always were.
When I was a young Anthropology student I came to believe what some called the Super-organic idea. The part I liked best was that invention was not possible, but only discovery. It fit neatly into the idea that energy can not be created or destroyed. We as humans and brains are so arrogant to think that we can make things or create things new. It is true that ‘there is nothing new under the sun’. That’s right–cars or wheels; electricity or rocket ships–all but vehicles of converted energy…Not created energy! Only converted.
