Early last evening I got to see about 20 minutes from

Sounds excellent!

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

I am really hoping for not only a great movie here, but a winner of Oscars for them.... I understood before but I will not understand if they don't win this time!

[ksen]

You were up early this morning!

Do we know what cities the special screenings of FoTR EE, TTT EE, and RoTK will be in yet? I haven't been able to find out.

[HairOfTheDog]

Haven't heard either..... yet.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

What's the countdown?

I'm currently living off of the 2 1/2 minute trailer, and need something else to go on.

[The Iguana]

Hair,

I am keen to learn that myself. I don't think they have announced it yet. I will travel as far as needs be to see them. If you hear something - be sure to post it here!

I assume everyone has heard the news from AICN on ROTK's running time? It's about three hours and thirty minutes. Bring your catheter.

Of course, I would go if it were ten hours.

[HairOfTheDog]

74 days 18 hours 42 min....

Iguana..... you know I will post it if I see first!

[ItsOurTimeNow]

74 days 18 hours 42 min....

*sigh*

[HairOfTheDog]

At least it is two digits now! Last time I checked we were in three digits!

[ItsOurTimeNow]

I went frame-by-frame on the trailer last night.

I'm thinking that PJ isn't going to cover Frodo's capture.

However, the shot of the Rohirrim lined up, ready to charge looks massively impressive.

[HairOfTheDog]

I'm thinking that PJ isn't going to cover Frodo's capture.

You think? Why do you think? He has Sam and Frodo dressed in orc-armor in the toys Weta came out with....

The moment at the gate when the rider brings out the mithril shirt and for a moment they think all is lost... is one of my very favorite parts.... and great cinema if PJ were to let us wonder, as he is prone to do..... I don't think he'll cut that.

If I'm reading the trailer footage right, it looks like a shot of Frodo & Sam looking at the green alarm light sent up, presumably from the Watchers at Cirith Ungol. Frodo & Sam aren't dressed in orc armor, they're wearing their standard gear.

At that point in the book, Frodo had already been rescued by Sam, and they were dressed in orc armor...when they set off the alarm.

Unless, PJ had them set off the alarm once they get to Minas Morgul..

I don't know...something about it is confusing me.

[HairOfTheDog]

We shall see then..... we shall see! - I dunno.

[maquiladora]

Sorry, I didn't label that, those are the EE screening locations above! Enjoy! :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Thanks maq! - Looks like the Cinerama in Seattle for the triple viewing then for us here in WA!
