Coping with RotK Spoilers . . .

[lavendertook]

After hearing the latest RotK spoilers, I was bummed . . . and then I remembered MESPT. Thank you Frotima and Carawise. (-;

If you haven't followed MESPT this won't mean anything, but if you have and read spoilers, here's an RotK Spoiler MESPT-style icon from Tom and me: click not lest ye be spoiled, unless ye wantsa. :-D

I'll second that question: which spoilers? I haven't been keeping up with the movie spoilers.

Are you planning to go to one of the special showings of FotR and TTT in the theater before RotK? Have you bought your ticket for RotK yet? I haven't. I'll probably see it at the Rio multiplex in Gaithersburg. For TTT's opening midnight show, the Rio had initially planned to put it in one theater, but so many people showed up they just opened another theater and showed it on two screens. I am hoping that they do the same thing for RotK.

OK, answered with what I heard. (-:

I haven't gotten any tickets yet. I didn't opt for Trilogy Tuesday, not just because I'm job hunting and don't know if I'll have the whole day free for sure, but mainly because there's no way I could sit through all three in a row and enjoy myself. I think that would have been true even when I was a youngun, but I would have probably tried--age does have it's advantages. (-;

I do want to see both extendeds separately on the big screen at the Uptown. Do you want to also? If so, would you like to coordinate going together to one or both? "Twould be fun.(-: As for the release of RoTK, are you doing midnight or the next day, and would you like company? I haven't been to the Rio--is it stadium seating and good sized screens?

I don't think that I want to see the extended versions in the theater. I'm spoiled by being able to see them here in the comfort of my own house. It's wonderful to be able to get up and walk around during the bits that I don't like (Helm's Deep). I would love company for the midnight show of RotK. I was hoping to catch the midnight show and see it the next day. The Rio has stadium seating and decent sized screens. I'm old enough to remember REAL movie screens, so no multi-plex screen even comes close. But these are okay.

If the Regal Germantown or the Kentlands theaters are going to host a midnight show, I would rather go to either of them over the Rio. The Germantown theaters are still new and the facilities are much, much nicer than the Rio. The Rio staff tend to be rude, and the parking there is crummy. I will check around and find out which theaters are showing the movie and get back to you.

OK, thanks.(-: I bet Columbia's Snowden Square is showing it--I like their theater--but is that too far for you?

[barbary-coast.livejournal.com]

Columbia would be too far for me for a weeknight show (especially the midnight show). I've got to go to work the next day. Be fine for a weekend show, though. :-)

Understood. Since it's not likely I'll have a job by Thursday, whatever theater you think is good is fine with me--I just might need directions.

[barbary-coast.livejournal.com]

I checked Fandango.com. There is a midnight show at the Regal Germantown. I will call and reserve 2 tickets tomorrow (Wednesday).

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Thank you. There is the small possibility that I will get that job and it will start before then, and if so I may have to cancel, but I'll still cover my ticket. I think having plans that could be messed up by getting this job is good luck toward getting it, so all's good.(-;

No problem about the ticket! You getting that job is vastly more important than driving out to Germantown for the midnight show. We'll have plenty of opportunities to see it again.
