All I know is I bought mine at midnight this morning, and watched and- eventually falling asleep at 4 in the morning... Then i woke up at 7 to go to school..hehe

I did the same thing, Bombadil! I stayed up with my friend at her house and waited until ten til twelve, thenour other friend drove us to the video store, we bought the precious, then went back to her house for a three-hour marathon.

Needless to say, we were tired at school this morning.

I just came back from watching it again, and this time with the special features. Tomorrow, I'm going back to watch it with the commentary.

We're just a little bit avid.

My brother and I convinced our mom to take us to Walgreens (they had a coupon for $10 off if you bought batteries as well as the movie) at midnight. The only problem was that my brother set his alarm for 11:45, since we decided to go to bed and then get up again, and our mom would pick us up from our dad's house at midnight. The only problem was that neither one of us heard the alarm, so we were still asleep when our mom came! We got to the store at around 12:20, and were the third or fourth to buy it, instead of the first, but we didn't mind too much.

There hasn't been any time to watch it yet, though, because of too much evil schoolwork.

I was going to do that, but I figured I'd only end up saving $5 anyway, the batteries are $5 after all...so I went to Hastings & got it with a 'free lithograph' (fancy picture) included. Unfortunately, the lithograph wasn't worth the $19.99 they upped the movie to, it was acutally pretty cheesy

. Just like the free 'One Ring' I got with TTT at Wal Mart last year...I must have a knack for picking 'good' deals

I got mine after school yesterday at Target. So I don't have any exciting stories, but I am very glad to have it. I just can't believe that I already have all three of the theatricals though. Last night I sat with all three of them and looked at them, and compaired them, and went through mixed emotions. I can't believe I have all three, and I am excited about it, but I am still kind of sad. It just seems too soon.

I am going to hopefully watch all three this weekend though. If I have enough time. I have been very, very busy with schoolwork.

Woohoo! I got mine today! But I could only watch half of it before my dad turned it off. Curse you, dratted dad! I'd just got to Sam vs Shelob!
