I always dress up for the movies. If I'm not in my top hat and tuxedo I feel like one of the undesirables and I shan't feel that.

All my experiences with seeing people "in costume" at movies have been incredibly obnoxious. Cheering wildly when any character shows up, applauding and hooting if a catchphrase/line from the original property is said, clapping during the credits, bla bla bla. If you sit in your seat and shut up, I don't care what you're wearing.
I just liked one of Charlie's posts. This might be a first for me. I agree though. You're at a movie not a live show. STFU and stop ruining the experience for others.
You realize it's just a few words difference from that, right Charlie?
So you're saying we should just take this all the way and round up everyone who talks during movies onto the trains? Sounds like a plan, but how are we going to get them all the way to Poland?
I see Shego's point and all. I don't think all dress up people are disruptive movie-goers. I let my friends convince me to bring a towel to the theater for Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and it didn't make me become a shithead and/or wave it around when Mos Def said anything.
You certainly got a big "WHAT THE FUCK" out of me when I saw the quote. Then I scrolled up.
I'm guessing Charlie had a terrible time at Snakes on a Plane.
What the fuck man, what did Poland ever do to you?

I went to the premier of Star Wars I and II, tons of people dressed up and did all those things you mentioned. It didn't ruin the movie for me though. It kinda added to the midnight experience.
That to me is the whole point of going opening night and why I wish I could still afford to do so.
Best part was right before the movie started, someone in a Tusken Raider costume got up in front of the theater and did the yell. It was pretty damn funny.
There has been a lot of discussion in regards to the Batman trilogy and Nolan's The Prestige. Specifically people are saying the blueprint for the Batman trilogy is laid out in The Prestige. Well, someone took The Prestige trailer audio and meshed it with the three Batman films and it works really well. In fact I like this trailer better than the real Dark Knight Rises trailer.
A comment in the associated io9 post linked to a Cracked article from last year with a more in-depth analysis about this connection.
Ehhhhh, I don't know if I entirely agree with that. With their theories and such? Sure. But they've got some really great, decently-researched articles. The result might be a little sophomoric, but that's just writing for the casual audience. I like reading some of their scientific lists, for example (strangest planets, scariest insects, etc).
Everything else? Totally agree.

Right, which is why, though entertaining, is absolutely awful when some jackass goes, "YEAH WELL I READ ON CRACKED THAT"

Soliloquy
I love reading Cracked. I also take the time to look into any particularly strange claims they make about science or history -- most of the time, they're way off.
Are they? I guess I read somewhere that they were usually relatively spot on or researched and assumed as much.
They suffer terribly from wanting to make the point they're trying to make facts be damned. Over half their articles are nothing more than a writers rant about something that's currently annoying him/her, or joking list about something "YOU HAD NO IDEA ABOUT" filled with things anyone who fell down the same wikipedia train knows about, and is largely taken out of context.
<-- Has to many friends who read cracked like it's the bible.

So looks like movie bane, just like comic bane, only had issues of Detective Comics to read in the slammer.
Let go of Source Material when watching comic book/novel movies man. You'll be a much happier person and enjoy life much more.
Many of the ways Bane got at Batman in Knightfall were based on Reader knowledge. i.e. targeting Lucius Fox.
I thought all of that was based on him figuring out that Batman was Wayne. It's been a long time though so I very well could be wrong.
Either way, I think assuming giant plot holes from a little trailer may be jumping the gun a little bit.

I'm seeing the Avengers tonight so I'm waiting on the trailer until after I see that.
Espy you're right it was, but my issue is with how he deduces, "because he's a super-genius". It's lazy writing, devalues the other villains and what is an incredibly guarded secret. It would be like introducing a new character to Action and Superman who comes into the Daily Planet and starts blackmailing Clark Kent because it's "obvious" that he's Superman. Besides even if you knew of Batman and Bruce Wayne being the same person, how would you know about the Batcave?
