Dark Knight tickets are hot sellers on eBay | Technology | Reuters

Sign of the times...

As hype for new box office champ "The Dark Knight" reached a fever pitch over the weekend, moviegoers were surfing eBay and Craigslist for tickets, sometimes paying five times face value for them.

The hottest items were tickets to Imax showings. The movie opened on 94 Imax screens, and company executives did a good job letting folks know that director Christopher Nolan shot many of the biggest action scenes with an Imax camera, making it was the best venue for viewing the film.

I saw the movie (alas, not on Imax) during the weekend -- it was dark -- *really* dark

Hey Peter ... I saw it yesterday, and on iMax to boot! We don't have iMax in New Zealand, but with being in Melbourne Australia this week, I walked 800 m down the road and got to enjoy the movie at the local iMax -- my first experience of that.

What is he going to do in the next movie!
