6 hours, 41 minutes until 12:01. I'll be there early, with my pre-purchased tickets in hand.
The kicker? The local awesome theater (Carmike) which has stadium seating and digital surround on curved screens... is in a township where it's illegal for teenagers to be out after 2am... therefore no PG-13 movies can play after midnight, or some such.
So they wanted to run a 10PM show, but New Line said no way.
*sigh*
So now I have to go see it at the mall.

As much as I'm itching to see the movie, there's no way I'm going tomorrow. I hate lines, crowds, etc. with a passion. I'll probably go to the sunday matinee instead...Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.

I agree, Andrew.. (if you really think Sunday will be any better
)
I'm going Saturday (I hope) when I go down to Houston, so I don't have to see it in our Godawful crummy local theaters. You wouldn't believe how bad they are. I haven't seen a movie here for about 3 years. The next to the last time I went I was going to see The Fifth Element, and the sound was so screwed up you couldn't understand what anyone was saying. I actually gave them another chance though, and was treated to a picture that was completely out of focus except for a little circle in the very center of the screen. Never again. I've heard some awful stories about those theaters since then, too. Someone got food poisoning from their popcorn because the skanky scumbag at the counter was scooping the stuff with his dirty bare hands. There is no heat or air conditioning either, and I've heard horror stories about that too.Comment

We're getting a bunch of engineers to play hookie from work, and go at 3PM. Hopefully we'll avoid crowds that way.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

The film was very good considering that you can't make it as good as the book.
If you have read the book the movie gets 4/5
If you haven't read the book it gets 5/5Comment

After seeing it twice now, I give it an easy 9+/10!!
Scenery and acting are superb! It has some humor. It has some great fight scenes!
The only thing it was really lacking was pointed out by my wife who hasn't read the books since jr. high. The characters aren't really developed at all. If you've read the book you just know who the people are, whereas in the movie they are all kindof thrown into the mix.
It didn't bother me, but may mother some.
Go see it!!

Turning a book into a movie is a very difficult task, but mr Jackson has pulled of an amazing job. He didn't stray to far from the book.
The atmosphere is just fantastic, and just as Amish said, the acting is very good.Comment
