Sarah Krusleski: What is the origin of this painting here (on the first floor of the library)?
Keeli Robinson: I don't know. I read the little caption when I sat down. I'm sure it was a local artist from the Ship Channel or something like that.
Krusleski: How do you feel about sitting next to old people like this?
Robinson: I don't feel weird sitting next to old people.

The mere thought of penning a piece on a film with the amount of buzz and hype that The Dark Knight has garnered has proven to be an overwhelming prospect, to say the least. But for a film that had earned an iconic status in the realm of comic book adaptations and big budget blockbusters months before it even began filming, a project that requested so much of its A-list stars that the chilling prospect exists that it drove a young, now immortalized actor to his premature grave; and a movie that broke every box office record imaginable, the idea that the essence of such a tour de force would be difficult to articulate seems all too appropriate.

Ruth Rodriguez: You write obituaries?
Markos Mendoza: Yeah. My friend was dating this girl I didn't like - she was a really horrible person - and when her dad died, I purposely misspelled his name in his obituary and made it took like a typo.
Rodriguez: What paper did you work for?
Mendoza: The Laredo Morning Times
Rodriguez: How was obituary writing for you?
Mendoza: It wasn't just that they were dying.
