Visit GladBlad and see what happens when geeks goes outside." The other LOTR news I know of is a description of the journalistic teaser trailer. Salon seems to have liked what they saw.

geeks goes to Enrish classes..

I wonder if any Krispy Kreme donut shops, or Chipolte grills have opened up next to theaters for this specifically this reason. I would, if I owned Krispy Kreme.

I can't get into the first night showing thing, really. I'd sooner wait a week or two and get a seat in the center of the theater, not jammed between a couple of overzealoud Tolkien fans, where the air is stale and I miss lines of dialogue from 400 other people all going "OOOHH!!!" or laughing at the same time.

Last experience like this was a midnight showing of Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. Not a spare seat in the joint, hot, humid and too much background noise. For my $5 (mantinees, y'know :-) and another $7.75 for popcorn and pop (it's part of the experience, but smuggle a can of Pringles and a couple cans of Coke in a winter coat sleeve if you like) I like a smaller crowd. Besides, call me a Troll if you must, I'm actually looking forward to the Harry Potter movie as it looks, unlike Holy Wood productions, done up extremely well.
