What will you be doing on December 17th 2003?
Hi!
So what will you be doing on Dec 17th? I mean have you planned your day? Have you any great excuses for your bosses/teachers/parents to let you have the day off? I'm not sure what i'm doing, i mean Dec 17th is a Wednesday and that means i will be at work [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] But i will be off Thursday 18th [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Your thoughts! |

I personally will be spending every Trilogy day (three days a week) trying to convince the teacher to take us on a field trip to see ROTK. If that fails, I will either be cutting school or going to see the first show after 3:00. Either way, I am definately going to see it on opening day. And I'm sticking to what I did last year: buying the tickets 4 hours early to ensure that I get in.

I'm with the the sci-fi/fantasy club at my school, and every year since FOTR came out, we have gone to see LOTR after school. This year is no exception.

Well - I'm very sure Dec 17 will pass just like any other day for me. ROTK will certainly air much later where I live.
But I'll give it two days-- then log on to see what you guys have to say about it! All the whines and praises (mostly praises, I'm guessing). I can see it now... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

In the wee hours of Dec, 17th, I will hopefully be watching RotK because of this, which will (hopefully - I'm praying!) be happening in the city closest to me. I can't wait, even if that doesn't happen! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well I actually have my day planned (tenitively)
My December the 17th will actually start on the 16th. I will go to school on the 16th from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon. Immediately after I get home I will do my homework, and hopefully get some sleep. I am planning on not going to see the first two films earlier in the evening just because I don't have the time. I am then planning to head out to the theater at 10:30 p.m. or earlier, to start waiting for ROTK. I will then of course start watching ROTK at about midnight. Leave the theater after it is done, and then go to bed. Waking up at 6:40 in the morning to get ready for school on the 17th. I know I will be tired, but I am a senior in high school, and it will be well worth it.

I haven't exactly planned my day yet, but hopefully it will end up a bit like Gorwingel's. Since I have school the day after the midnight release, my mom and dad probably won't let me go see it then. But if I'm at my mom's house, I can easily sneak out around 11 PM and walk to the theatre. At my dad's, however, it would be much harder to sneak out. Normally I wouldn't be the type to sneak out of the house, but for something like the RotK...well, you know. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Otherwise, I will go to the first show after school is out.

I'm going to sound like a very UN-obsessed fan, but really, this is the best way to go see one of these movies. I mean, if you go to the premier, it's packed, and you can't really complain until it's over, when you've forgotten half of them. So I'll most likely end up going to see it a few weeks after it comes out, because there'll hardly be anyone there, and I can yell at the screen if I need to. Not that I don't want to see the premier, but...it's also cheaper this way. And I'm poor. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I will be sitting in a prison, erm...classroom, bored out of my mind. O maybe I'll not be bored because I'm daydreaming about ROTK. I'm definatly going totry to see it the day it comes out, but my parents might not let me [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I have the parent problem also, I'm lucky if I see it the day after the opening! So I'll most likely watch my extended versions (when I get TTT one) over and over and mope around school until the day comes. But hopefully my luck will strike by then. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm going to the midnight marathon, to see all three movies, and take free from school the day after (because I will be very tired)..
P.S. what does it matter if the theatre is full? you can still yell at the screen, and it can even earn you some weird looks!

!I WILL BE WAITING ANOTHER 10 DAYS OR SO UNTIL ROTK IS RELEASED IN AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS NOT FAIR!!! WE NEVER GET ANYTHING WITH EVERYONE ELSE! What is so wrong with us that we dont deserve it! Man it makes me VERY angry... So when its like dec17 here on the downs everyone will be talking about it and ill be like.."yeah..um.." Not happy JAN! Normally a normal person would be fine with it, but i am so addicted to movies its not funny, it happens with every movie! No jokes, my friends come to me and ask what movies are released when? ,plot?, characters?, actors?, who produced?, who directed? and which studio made it. A major kick in the guts for me.

You have my sympathies Everdrawn. As for me i will be no doubt attending the premiere with one of my friends who's as obsessed as i'm am about Tolkein. We'll probably get tickets to the noon showing because we have to be among the first to see it so we can act like the true elitists that we are [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The 17th of december??
If I get tickets I'll go and watch it and of course dress like an elf [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But I doubt I'll get tickets, and even if I did, I would have troubles dealing with my mum, because it's a school night. So I loose either way. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] That's really unfair...I can dream though... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I will be in school for most of the day, and in the evening will most likely be going slightly mad with anticipation (this presuming that my parents let me go and see the movie on my own - I don't like going to see films I really want to see with other people for some reason)

It will be the second-to-last day of Midterms at my school, although I will dress up as an Easterling spy. I've got quite a convincing costume being made, and I'm even going to paint my face with the gold and black designs that the Haradrim have in the Two Towers. It's going to be so cool! I'll wear the costume again that weekend when I go see it with my friends.

HOPEFULLY I will have my licence by then...along with a chance to get tickets to the midnight showing...and permission to go driving that late at night...
So, crack of midnight, if all goes well, I will be sitting in a rear-numbing seat waiting for the end! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Hee hee. I wanna see it. Now. Hee hee. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'll probably just break down crying near the end, and then when the credits start, just not have the energy or real desire to get out of my seat. Then I'll just sit there crying my eyes out over the credits and whatever sad song they have for RotK.

I'm in a program here in Ohio where I can take either high school classes or college classes. It's great. <3. I have Spanish IV at 8 in the morning, then the rest of my classes at the nearest university. Luckily, the university has no classes during December. That means I can go and do whatever I want all day. I'll be seeing the first show I can reach, and maybe another after that. Just depends on what's allowed. ~_^

I will probably end up bawling my eyes out too all throughout the movie and especially at the end. I really should invest in a box of good tissues when I go.

ONLY A BOX? I fear I'll have to invest in the Kleenex company, I'm such a bawler.
Hm. This the first time I'll actually be working that time of year, but depending on the schedule of the one I'll be seeing ROTK with (the LOTR movies have been my Christmas present from him for the last two years...well, wait, there was the Sam in Moria action figure....)ANYWAY, for SURE I'll be wearing my hand-made Hobbit style dress and hopefully the travel cloak I'm having made... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]...THEN, 17th or another day, I shall go to said movie and BAWL MY EYES OUT!!!!

My mother, who could be considered a newly minted LOTR fan, has been trying to get everyone from her work to come on the 17th and become part of the Line Party. She actually has been quite successful. But, yes, many of them are worried about how they will get tickets (but some of them never go on the computer, so they know nothing about Fandango). I can't wait for Dec 17 though, it is going to be such a great night.
