Lime and Vána, what are your plans for the special showings? Would love to go to them myself. Any else in the Chicago area interested?

There's a Madison showing at the Ultrascreen at the Point -- but I don't know if I can take eleven hours of movies anymore.

SWEET!! It's playing at the Uptown, which is the best action movie theater I've ever seen. And it's 1/2 hour from my house (10 min by car). I'm just hoping that not too many people have heard about this, so when I go to the Uptown before class on Thursday, there won't be a line.

Sarcastic- Sandy is a suburb of Salt Lake. 9335 So. State, I think. I don't think I'll be able to go. Hubby isn't into it and I have three tiny little kids.

For those of you living in the Salt Lake area:
I'm gonna give in and plug the real premier event that will be happening in Salt Lake. You could come to this, Pooka, as you wouldn't have to come until about the time your kids got in bed.
Because the theater wouldn't play with us in Sandy, we had to move our TORN Line Party somewhere else. This is where the real party will be. And I mean party. We'll have gift bags, decorations, a costume contest, live music and more.

Just got off the phone with the theater and still no info on how they are going to handle the tickets at the Cincy/Springdale location. I just hope the tickets are not for sale over the internet. I would hate to drive down there and them be sold out.
They said that they should know more by late this afternoon. It sounds like they are thinking of making the three movies a package deal. One price, three movies.

Yeah, I need to figure out what I'm doing for the Boston Common show.
Mutter. Can't believe its not at fenway or framingham. Oh well. Boston common is close, just need to figure out the best way to get tickets.

ROTK... what is the first thing that springs to mind. Romance of Three Kingdoms... Turns out it is just Return of the King by that one tolkien guy... how disappointing.
I think someone should start a serious ROTK thred with Lubu some how involved.

Alright xnera and other Chicago-type people - Lime and I will be going to the two consecutive Saturday showings. We cannot do the Tuesday mondo-showing, because of work. But if anyone wants to meet us for the Sat. Chicago showings, just let me know (e-mail would be best)!

msquared, are you taking a day off of work for this? I mean, I would like to go, but I cant take any time off of work. Or, do you go see the first one monday night, second one tuesday night, and then the third one wednesday?

I have scheduled 1-1/2 days off work. I will leave work on Tuesday around noon and get to the theather around 12:30. I have 1/2 day scheduled off for that. The next day I will see ROTK three times at a theater here in Dayton.
Bummer if you can't get off work. I had my days scheduled last Jan. 2.
Luckily I had a day of vacation left, so I am using half of it for the Tuesday showings.
Even my wife is coming along.
My biggest fears were just allayed. The internet tickets sales will not happen until after the box office at the theater opens. That means they will not sell out before I can get there tomorrow.
posted
hmm, i have to think about this... Depending on how they sell the tickets, and what times the showings are. We'll see. What time are you coming down tomorrow?

I called Springdale and they say that they open at 11:30am for ticket sales. I will probably leave at 11:00 or so. I figure it is about 1/2 hour drive.
She did not know the show times or the cost. I keep hearing that they are going to do one ticket for all three, no cherry picking. Anything in the $25-30 range would be fine with me.
As to show times, New Line originally said 3/7/11 but I don't think the cinemas have to stay with that. It makes sense, unless they want to put in intermissions. I have not heard that the Extended versions have intermissions built into them, so get out your catheters.

I could maybe do the 3/7/11 time. I would just take off of work a little early. I should be able to do that. We'll see.

Im pretty sure that they will. Have you ever been to this theater? Its a really good one. Nice people, lots of theaters, stadium style seating. Just go 75s to 275w. Then, get off at the springdale, route 4 exit.
(here is some info if you have not been there before, once you get on 275w, the first exit is for springdale, but its the 747 exit. You dont want to take that, you keep on going to the second exit, which is for route 4, springfield pike.)

oh, another word of advice... 75s right before 275 is under construction. 2 weeks ago, I saw it backed up for miles. So you might want to plan on it taking a little longer. Usually, it is only about 30 minutes. Ive made it from that exit, up to the bookstore OSC was at last time, in about 30 minutes.

The theater in Chamblee, GA is evidently not in the best of neighborhoods. I don't know that for a fact, but a friend who lives on that side of town calls it "Chambodia". Not really sure what he meant. Afraid to ask.

It looks like my brother and his daughter will also be going with us. Now I just have to work out when to get down there to get a good seat for the movie.
I need the middle front row of the top section. The one with the railing in front of it. That way I can stretch out my legs(6'4") and have easy access to get in and out for potty breaks.

$90 dollars later, I've got tickets for the UltraScreen showing for me and two of my friends. I am so excited.
Our show starts at 2, which kind of sucks, especially since I've got a final that morning that's supposed to go until 12:05. Too bad I'm finishing in an hour and getting my arse out there. Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999

I wasn't able to get tickets. It's sold out.
I know this is about a million-to-one chance, but does anyone have an extra ticket for the DC showing they'd be willing to sell me? *gets down on hands and knees to beg*

I have a ticket for the Salt Lake City showing.
My best friend got a ticket for me as bait to come and visit. He stood in line with his sister for 48 hours to get tickets. There's going to be a party.

Carrie, I'll drop by and wish y'all well -- but I've resolved that I'd much rather watch those movies on my own schedule. Sitting through ten hours seems more like an endurance test, a way of proving myself a "true fan," than something my old bones would enjoy anymore.

Yeah right Tom. I am 40 and have been waiting for this for the past year. I sit on my but for 8 hours doing somethng that I don't really like doing as a job. Sitting for 10-1/2 hours at something I really enjoy is not a big problm for me. It is just your contrary nature.

Katharina we have tickets for SLC too! You deffinitely need to come down and see us. Unfortunately I don't think our little Elijah could sit through all the movies so he will be with a babysitter.

Hope is alive again. The Baltimore theater doesn't start selling tickets until tomorrow, and my friend who goes to school up there is going to try and get them.

Whenever I read a thread and see that someone's sn is an EG character (without any puncuation), I find it quite intriguing... ... the majority of the names have been taken (as I had first tried a bunch of other names), but I rarely see any posts from these original people.

SUCCESS!! My friend was able to get tickets for us!!
wieczorek - I'm flattered. But if you look at unicornwhisperer's post, right above mine, you'll see that she has a much lower member number. So I'm not as original as some. Posts: 2149 | Registered: Aug 2000
