One House race I was paying especially close attention to was the VA-2 where Thelma Drake (R-VA)’s opponent Glenn Nye happened to be a guy I met in Austin and wound up going to see The Dark Night at one of the outlets of the Austin Cinema Draft House with. I take it he didn’t emphasize his “going to see comic book movies with bloggers” credentials out on the trail, but suffice it to say that I’ll be glad to see a member of congress who not only has extensive experience in foreign affairs but also really knows what Green Lantern is all about.

Why would you go to a movie with someone you just met? Were you writing a story about him?

Your own comic book credentials are in question, Matthew Yglesias. The name of the film does not refer to a dark night, but to the World’s Greatest Detective himself. Anyone who “really knows what Green Lantern is all about” would also certainly know that Batman is also known as The Dark Knight.
Regular spelling and grammar errors we can forgive, but THIS IS AN UNFORGIVABLE TRAVESTY!
…Unless you’re talking about some obscure art film, in which case I withdraw my remarks.

Although the franchise started in Austin, it’s called the Alamo Drafthouse.

Obscure indeed, Tim:

Sorry, it was a late night, that was for CBG.

You mean “The Dark Knight”, with a K.
November 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Forgiveable–it wasn’t the Batman movie for which Matt’s father wrote the script.

Yeah, seriously, most typos I can forgive, but this is just embarrassing.

“going to see comic book movies with bloggers” is not how the Republican would have described it.
They would have went with something more along the lines of :
“Glenn Nye travels out of state to enjoy intimate rendezvous in dark theaters with male companion Matthew Yglesias, the radical leftist. “

Until we know Nye’s stance on Rayner v. Jordan, I refuse to accept his credentials.

“I’ll be glad to see a member of congress who not only has extensive experience in foreign affairs but also really knows what Green Lantern is all about.”
Senator Patrick Leahy
- Chairman of the Foreign Operations Subcommittee
- role of Unintimidated Gentleman at Party in “The Dark Knight” and Governor of the Utah Territory in *Showdown*, an episode of “Batman: The Animated Series”
- author of introductions to Green Lantern trade paperbacks

I went to college with that guy! Go Glenn! Do great things!
November 5th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Ahem. You meant “knight” not “night,” yes?

Holy crap, he isn’t kidding about Leahy. Except that he wrote the intro to a *Green Arrow* TPB (and also a Batman one, sayeth Wikipedia), not Green Lantern.
