Arr. I have to say that the Return of the King trailer has led me back towards full Lord of the Rings obsession/fandom again. Not that I ever stopped liking it but my enthusiasm had died down quite a bit. I'm now fairly obsessed with it again, perhaps it will get me to pick up the book.
Anyways, the day is December 16-- the one and only day that all 3 films will be shown in sequence in the theater:
Leading up to the December 17 release of The Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King, the final film Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy, New Line Cinema will bring moviegoers an exclusive, ONE-time-only in-theater event:
The Lord of the Rings Special Extended Edition Screening Engagement.
The schedule for this special theatrical screening series is as follows:
December 5-11
Special Extended Edition The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
December 12-15
Special Extended Edition The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Tuesday, December 16
One-time-only marathon of both the Extended Edition prints followed by the first screenings of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
Anyone up for it? I know Heeble's in ;-) I think tickets go on sale for this in October, though I have yet to confirm that it's actually happening at the Jordan Commons yet. If the movie is indeed 3 1/2 hours long, that's over 10 hours of LOTR in one day. Holy sheezy....
Dude let me know what you find out... that sounds awesome. Well worth taking off work for.....
How cool would that be? LOTR all in one day... that would ROCK!!
I'll come down w/ Joel. I might know some other die hards, plz keep me updated.
Dude that urinalysis line was great... I just opened your page with my headphones on and realized it was here... very very funny.
Hehe, I need to use sounds more often on my page. Much more hilarious to hear actual movie quotes than just read them.
thanks to you josh haas also gotten addicted once again. he actually wants me to get a babysitter for all day. i said no and now he wants to go all by himself. i would normally be ok with this but it is the day before my birthday and i pretty much wouldn't see him. i know i'm whipped.
who is that drake guy?
I get a tingle up and down my spine every time I think about the release of ROTK. I've been waiting for this ever since I saw the first film for the first time, which started me on the path to true mania-hood.
Meg, is your b-day the 17th? That's my mom's b-day too, but she's stoked about ROTK and she'll be seeing it the evening of the 16th as a sort of "birthday" present ;) Who knows, maybe we can get her to do the all-day thing.
You big geeks.
(I wish that was something similar here.)
Megan (Josh's wife I am hoping...) Drake and I were housemates in Korea and are friends in America...
Look at that I managed to do a post without using the word dude... (I was so ashamed when I saw I had used it twice.)
There is nothing wrong with teh word dude, I use it all the time. Granted, I am California girl, but still, nothing is wrong with the word dude. And holy glory, are you so honest about the LOTR deal? If so I am so there as well. And I know of my best bud Sunshine too would go. Keep me posted Mike, and on a side note, I am still offended about that getting a life comment :p
richter's a girl.. i had no idea. shows you how sexy i am... er, sexist. and yep, megan's my wife. and of course you're whipped sweetie!
Oh sad, you didn't know I was a girl? I think I am hurt...
Well if you went by "Clerissa" it would be a dead giveaway now wouldn't it? But since usually guys are the ones that go by their last names, it's not a hard mistake to make ;)
