I am off for a bit - meeting this afternoon in Tacoma. On my home I am going to GO to the theaters that are playing FoTR and find out if everyone there stares at me blankly if I mention the trailer!
To: HairOfTheDog
Let us know what they tell you.... ;)
To: Penny1
Our line party is meeting at 5pm tomorrow to eat pizza and have soda before the 7pm showing. I'm am so rediculously excited!
To: 2Jedismom
Ooooh, sounds like fun! I am excited too, and I don't even have a line party to go to....
:)
To: Penny1
No one from the Seatle TORn line party is meeting anywhere?
To: 2Jedismom
They are, but my schedule is too tight on Friday to accommodate they're get-together.
Perhaps there will be a second one for when it shows up at the Cinerama again...
To: Penny1
Argh! THEIR...
I hate it when I do that!

"
Okay, I just want to know if it's a requirement that everyone that works in the cinema business have an IQ of about 30... "
No, but it helps.:^)

Well, here's Fandango's Final Answer:
"We apologize but we are unable to give you assurance that all theaters will play the version of the preview of "The Two Towers" before the main feature presentation of "The Lord of the Rings". In order to verify further, we suggest that you contact the specific theater . Just click on the name of the theater on our Theater Selection page to get the theater's contact information.."
Like theaters have anything other than recorded messages.

I stopped by the better of the two Tacoma theaters I had found on Fandango.
The guy at the booth gave me the blank stare.
After preliminary babble to explain to him that...No, I am not talking about a preview trailer before the film, No I am not talking about Return of the Jedi, that it was talked about all over the web, including their own web site... I asked him who I could talk to that would know...
He called someone who said "Yes of course we are starting the new trailer tomorrow!" Woo Hoo!
Before leaving I told him that he was lucky to have found this out, because come tomorrow all the geeks would return. He agreed that he owed me a debt of gratitude. I guess I am surprised that I was the first one to ask him.
As I pulled away... some geeky looking kids walked up and asked him a question.... I rolled down my window and stopped. He waved at me and nodded his head!
To: HairOfTheDog
I KNEW you would have a funny story to tell! What a riot! He will be so grateful by the time tomorrow's first show begins that you got the story straight for him.
So I assume that you will be going there to see it tomorrow! Good for you! I can't wait to compare notes with everyone!

May I share an off-topic announcement?:
My 6 year old son Matthew just finished 2nd grade! He averaged (for the year) a 98% in History and Geography, Math and Science and a 100% in Language Arts! For doing such a good job and working so hard, he was rewarded with THIS!
To: HairOfTheDog
Glad you're getting the film tomorrow! We're assuming it'll be there - even if the trailer isn't attached it'll be worth it to see LotR again! My sisters and I are going to a 3 o'clock showing... rats, have to go help out. Won't be around much over the next few days - getting ready for Easter.

Good news! - Congratulations Matthew!
Can't tell what he got though. The link won't let us in!... what is it?
To: JenB
Check in as you can.... We all have to rant or rave about it! I am going to the 12:35 show here tomorrow, so I we will actually be watching at the same time! Will be back in time to report in the evening.
I am considering putting off the Green Dragon Chapter until Saturday, Sunday, or Monday even... None of us will be that interested in Bombadil and the Barrow downs tomorrow, and most of us will be out viewing! What do you think?
To: HairOfTheDog
Oh, it's a gigantic (10") cave troll! You pull a lever on it's back and WHAM! It's hammer swings down and it lets out this horrifying roar and it's jaws open up! My three year old is terrified of it! LOL It has another lever on it's back for the other arm and you put the spike in it and it does the same thing...roars with it's mouth open, just like in the movie...it looks just like it could impale Frodo any minute.

ITA - I want to share thoughts about the Barrow-Downs and am not sure how much I'll be around until Tuesday... I'll try to check in at the chat room tonight or tomorrow. Saw a vanity plate that said "SPCL GEM" today and thought hmmm, another 'mir' brother?

Tell Matthew Congratulations! But don't you think he deserves better than Janet Reno? :D
To: 2Jedismom
I never realized that the cave troll had nipples.
To: 2Jedismom
