Hi Deas. Sorry, I made a mistake, that should have been Harry Potter 6, not 5. I posted a link to your blogpost on my blog too and posted the dates for transformers and Harry Potter.

Also, it seems like there really was an IMAX in Tokyo, in Shinagawa no less (I had heard rumors of like an urban legend for years) for TWO years while I'd lived here, and I never knew!

But it closed in 2007, just before the big 3D boom. Too bad…

But I think they may have only shown aquarium-related stuff like sea turtles swimming in the ocean…fun, huh?

I was googling IMAX in Japan and stumbled upon you as well. There are several IMAX theaters here but have not been able to find a listing of DK playing in any of them. Please let me know if you manage to see it on the BIG BIG screen. I already saw it on the small screen and enjoyed it so much I want to see it again... even bigger.

Hey, let me know if you do come across a decently over-sized screen around these parts Deas. I too am uber excited about the caped crusader’s latest crusade and feel it just be blown up to ungodly proportions.

Itiro – thanks for the comment, and welcome to the blog! I totally agree that the Dark Knight deserves a big screen. Hope I get to see it at an actual IMAX theatre. Also – your blog looks really cool. I just wish I could read Portuguese! Ha ha.
