OT: Return of the King Movie |
Well, I'm set to see ROTK at 12:01 am Mountain time. I wasn't one of the
lucky few who got to see an early preview. If any of you all did get to
see it early then, of course, it goes without saying that I hate you and
I'm insanely jealous :). For that matter, there are some folks who get
to watch the whole trilogy back to back starting at 1 am and quibbler-
smeagol hates them too, because they are evil hobbits who bought up all
the precious tickets. But I got one of the garden variety ROTK tickets
and I'd rather not spend too much more than the 3 hours 28 minutes and 57
of plus ~15 minutes of previews that it's expected to take already.
Of course, I'm also keenly aware of all the religious symbolism in ROTK,
starting with the name. But I haven't let it bother me so far and I doubt
that it will be a problem now. Naturally, I will report on anything that
seems particularly significant WRT to aa subjects. In reading some
advance reviews it doesn't sound like there's anything too unexpected. I
understand that the movie does take some liberties, like having goblins
in the shire when frodo and sam return. I guess they thought goblins
seemed more the demonic villians, but I guess it isn't too great a
departure from the book.
Anyway, is anyone else super stoked about seeing this thing? I'm totally
gonna haul all kinds of food into the theater inside my big damn winter
coat and munch out until I puke skittles :). This movie is gonna rock.

it's not fair, it doesn't come out in australia til midnight
christmas day!!
Hell, I have to wait until it comes out on video!
(I'll be damned if I'll pay what they charge at a movie theatre, much
less for a baby sitter) ;)
I *know*. I sometimes have to struggle to bring myself to pay $8.75.
C'mon, eight bucks odd, what a tightass, it's WORTH it, DAMMIT!
In the end I agreed, which is why I forked over the fee. But, in
general, I consider being frugal to be a great virtue, so long as one
properly calculates the costs of things. Most people's aversion to being
"cheap" probably stems from a fear that they will get inferior quality
and not really save anything in the long run. That didn't so much apply
here and, in reality, I didn't absolutely need to see the show the first
minute it came out. But I decided that the price difference was no big
deal.
However, most of the time, I will go to the matinees where possible and
otherwise will catch it in the dollar theaters or on DVD/tape. I seldom
buy concession snacks either, out of principle, because I'm perfectly
capable of bringing my own stuff.
I will grant, of course, that there are times to be cheap and times to
not to be. One seldom impresses a date by being a super penny pincher
(unless her name is penny and she likes to be pinched :) )

Jezus. They practically body search you at my local cinema to prevent
such things.

The theater experience is okay, but can be overrated. Most of the time
they aren't using particularly special technology, but just plain old
film or a digital projector on a slightly curved screen if you're lucky.
Now if they had done ROTK in IMAX that would have been pretty fricken
kewl and I probably would have paid a lot more to see it.

It sounds like you might be sitting too close to the screen, dude :). If
you have to turn your head to see it you should sit a couple rows
further back :).

For most things it's quite adequate. It's gonna be a while before I get
a plasma or other HDTV system, so it will have to do for most movies.

I usually don't go to the midnight showings, but I'm willing to make an
exception. I'm gonna try to get some shut eye before the show, so I'm
not tired. That and I've got caffeine beverages and a couple of "no
doze" tablets.
{sigh} I
will have to wait. Job thing you see.
I think I'll be calling in <ahem> sick :). Actually, a bunch of us from
work were going to go, but those lame asses want to wait until friday
night and I'm afraid that I can't cool my heels that long.
That and two kids that are
also drooling to see it so til the weekend when they are mine and
hoping I can get tickets to the Senator.
I certainly won't say anything to spoil it. I'm pretty good about
labelling spoilers in advance if I do comment on anything.

Anyone who would be pissed at spoilers has probably read the trilogy a half
dozen times, at least, and knows the main plot lines by heart :-)

You'll have to see my other comments on it. People didn't seem quite
that up to snuff.

quibbler <quibbler247@yahoo.com> astounded us with:
news:MPG.1a492a2625af3e65989775@news.cis.dfn.de:
Well, I'm set to see ROTK at 12:01 am Mountain time. I wasn't one of the
lucky few who got to see an early preview. If any of you all did get to
see it early then, of course, it goes without saying that I hate you and
I'm insanely jealous :).
Pffft, you don't know "jealous"! Due to some spin-fucking-doctoring, ROTK
isn't released in Australia until Boxing Day!!
Oh well, back to watching the EE DVD's of "The Two Towers"...
A week's not such a long time..........sigh
