Now you do realize this is a three hour movie, and one of which you don’t want to miss a single minute?
I’m going to a midnight showing tonight (with a huge group of like-minded geeks, yay!), and while normally I’m all for caffiene, I’m going to have to hope that I’ll be psyched up enough to be alert, b/c I don’t want to be searching for the ladies room half-way through. Sneaking in a mini water bottle only, I think.
Um… I had to pop in here and say I saw it last week at a sneak preview I won tickets for.
:::ducking in case of lobbed rotten fruit:::
Do not hate me - I bring you glad tidings! This movie was breathtaking, jawdropping… and I cannot wait for you all to see it so I may talk about it with someone!
I am calmer now. I managed to contact the local theatre office and was prepared to let loose the Hounds of Hell upon the scum. But I was informed that the website was wrong and that I have the option of 4 show times tomorrow. Good thing, too because I was trying to find the closest theatre where it was show. It was beginning to look like I was going to have to drive to Shreveport.
Geek though I am, I’m a 46 year old geek and won’t brave opening night geekophrenia even for TTT. We’re going on Sunday at 11 a.m. and hopefully the place won’t be swarming with too many kids. From what I hear, anyway, it’s a rather gruesome, dark and frightening movie, so maybe parents will use good sense and keep the littlest ones home.
Ahhh, to be free to see a movie…I have fleeting memories of what that was like.
I’ll be seeing it after Xmas most likely. Just too much to do before then to take three hours out to see it. Finding a babysitter for the kids would be impossible this week, and going by myself would result in my wife killing me (not because she is in a hurry to see it, but because I’ve already avoided my share of the Xmas preparations this year and I ain’t pushing it).
We are going to a 1:00pm show tomorrow. Taking the day off work, getting about a dozen people together for a morning showing of the extended Fellowship, than going to see the TTT (while the kids are in daycare all day).
Next year we will have to arrange for a sitter, since it will take ten hours to get through all three movies.
The Guy Behind Me saw it at last week’s BAFTA screening - says it was excellent.
I have to wait 49 hours (seeing it Thursday).
I’ve closed my eyes and stuck my fingers in my ears for all trailers, reviews and not read any blurb (this includes most of this month’s Empire magazine and AICN) - though I was at a seminar with one of the technical directors about 6 months ago and he gave me a fairly good idea of what CG was in store… Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!
I totally want to see TTT, but I’ve got until 12/31 to use my FREE ticket from the EE DVD of FOTR, and since me mum is coming to visit this weekend, and I have a buttload of errands to run between now and then, I’m probably going to wait until 12/23 or 24 to see it.
BTW: Does my ticket allow me to waltz into the movie any time I want, or does it mean that I merely have free admission, but I still I have to go to the ticket window like a commoner and thus am subject to the dread SOLD OUT sign?
