Concerning Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, I am so glad I don't work in Box

Hrm......Dammit. Can't think of any reasonable arguments to dispute this. Point to the chicken with the Logan's Run avatar.

Permission to steal this for my sig?

Go right ahead.

I was thinking of going to see it and ended up at the theater and was gonna get a ticket. The IMAX and the next showing were sold out, so I ended up seeting "Unstoppable" instead. Enjoyable movie. But the theater was a madhouse.

I love that I live in a rural(ish) town now. I can walk up to a ticket booth at 11:30pm for a 11:59 showing and still get good seats with all my friends. (Definitely wasn't able to back when I lived in OC) I went to the showing last night and was quite pleased!

Also I agree with a previous poster...It's all about TRON: LEGACY!! midnight IMAX! WHOOO!!!!

Well, I went to the midnight showing here with my brother. We got there at 11:20p and it was STILL packed. Only seats available were the two front rows and some scattered seats. We split up and watched it in separate seats until some people actually left 10m before it started. (WHY?)

Then on the ride back he needed gas, so we pulled into a gas station, left it and hit a pothole which totally destroyed his wheel. Knocked it off the mount, and ripped the whole CV joint off. Luckily, it looks like parts will not be needed but . . . car is unable to get anywhere.

To return to topic, there was no suck in the theatre I was in. I mean, sure, they were so hyped they cheered louder and longer than probably normal (you can guess which two lines) but it was all a blast to go see it with a crowd who REALLY was loving it.

Ya know what's sad? Those SC"s are acting EXACTLY like Widdle Duddums, or Malfoy. Harry and his posse would NEVER throw a fit like that over something so trivial.

My husband and I went to see Harry Potter last night for the 7:20pm showing. Because of his work schedule, he wouldn't have been able to go to the midnight showing (if there even was one here, I honestly didn't even look). I'm a huge fan, but I don't need to go see it at midnight. And to be sure we got tickets for the time we wanted, I went and bought them the day before (yay for a rural area where I didn't need to buy them weeks in advance ) It was awesome to walk into the theatre, past the humungous line of people, up to the ticket taker, and then into the showing room

Another thing I don't understand about hugely popular first-day movie showings are the people who show up during the premiers (which usually start after the posted marquee times) and seem to wonder why there are no seats One of the theatre workers had to come into our theatre and tell people that there was another room showing the movie as well

No midnight show for us. Instead we started at 9.30 am on Fraiday and ran through till 10.45 finishing at 1.45am. Up in the projection booth I missed all the madness, except for a insanely long day.

As if the madness and craziness of Harry Potter wasn't enough, 1 of our new employees hit the fire switch (which I never knew about) on the popper, causing it to shut down and sprinklers turn on. See the General Work Chat section for the story.

The movie that is a must-see for me is Tron: Legacy.

This.

Last time we went to Disneyland was for their ElecTRONica event. I still have a few tokens from the visit to Flynn's Arcade. Of course, that bastard Flynn has the high scores on Space Paranoids all tied up. Just bought my tix for the El Cap midnight showing.

The movie that is a must-see for me is Tron: Legacy.

Hear, hear! I can't wait. I loved the original from day one.

This past year, I introduced the movie to a friend of mine who had, somehow, managed never to have seen the thing. Naturally, this had to be remedied ASAP >_> He is now one of the TRON faithful, and it happened that one of the next bits of vacuous entertainment that crossed our paths was the South Park episode with their version of "Moses"... (for non-SP fans, he looks and speaks like just the MCP...and he wants macaroni pictures. With glitter.). Had he never seen TRON, the major joke of the episode would have simply whooshed right over his head. Instead, I actually had to pause the show for a few minutes so he could regain his composure, as he was literally doing this:

Hubby and I went on Friday night. Even though we live in the city, we have a really great cinema close by that is NEVER full. We splurged on the "Gold lounge" seats (balcony, comfy big chairs and free soft drink and popcorn)

Saw the trailer for TRON: Legacy. Definately going to that!!! Loved the original and this one looks great.

Also, I agree with the others, the last Star Wars film was Return of the Jedi The other 3 were ok in there own right, but should never be considered as part of the saga.
