A Temporary Dark Knight Frustration

The Dark Knight opens today in Vancouver...
... But NOT in Seoul!

The new Batman movie opens in South Korea on August 7th, which just happens to be my birthday. Now I know how to spend my 30th birthday, but having to wait three weeks isn't much of a birthday present!

Why do is it that some movies open all at the same time around the world, and others open at staggered times? Dark Knight: US July 18, UK July 28, Korea August 7, France August 13, Germany August 21st...

The sad thing is that by the time it opens in Korea, everyone will have already seen in on a pirated DVD copy. Not me though! As a fan, I will wait and see it in the theaters (and maybe in IMAX!) 20 days and counting...

Now, what can I do while I am waiting?
