Quake doesn't deter Batman fans

Some folks just don’t want their movie interrupted — at least not Taylor and Justin Blackburn of Chino Hills.

Their mother, Brenda Blackburn, 41, had dropped them off this morning at Harkins Theatres to catch “The Dark Knight.”

Back home, Blackburn and her daughter, 5-year-old Raquel, felt the quake, so they rushed back to the theater, located in a shopping center near the 71 and the 60 freeways. Theater staff let Blackburn into the movie house, and she began looking for Taylor 15, and Justin, 12.

She found the boys, tapped them on the shoulder and asked if they were OK. The reply: “Why are you here?”

Raquel also seemed unfazed. “Our house just jiggled,” she said. A theater manager said there was no damage to the building.
