All 3 movies in one showing

[Crothian]

Only ten hours? Piece of cake. There is a 24 hour sci fi movie marathon every year here that I used to go to. 24 hours of great to terrible sci fi movies can be tough, but 109 hours will be simple!!

109 Hours!

Oh and it is probably closer to 11+ hours. Each movie will be the extended version. FOTR starts at 3, TT starts at 7 and then ROTK at 11. I don't plan to be leaving the theater until well after 2am.

Yes! A theater on the list only 15 min. from home!

While the marathon could be fun, I don't mind missing it as long as I see the extended versions of Fellowship and TT the two weeks before . . .

Nothin' like the big screen to improve the movie experience.

I'm even more surprised to see a theater in Syracuse on that list.

Hmm... does anyone here have advice on how to avoid getting bedsores?

You do realize that's TEN hours of movie watching, right? I love the movie trilogy, but there is no way I would be able to sit through THAT much, with no activity, no breaking away from the movie, whatsoever.

I would be very surprised if they didn't have a break of at least 30 minutes between each showing, for people to use the washrooms and get food. Theatres make too much money on the concession stands to not do so.

I want all 3... at an IMAX theater! I can imagine the scenery shots would nearly make me sick, better take some drama-mine.

 

[Welverin]

I was quite suprised to see Albany, NY on the list.

It's the state capital, why shouldn't it be included? Besides they probably knew I'd be pissed if they didn't show it near me. Plus have you been around since the put that theater in the mall? Real spiffy.

I'll be there all day (luckily I have no finals that day or the one after).

Hey, it'll be in Madison! But I don't think I want that much LOTR in one day. I'll be getting my wife prepped to see it over the weeks leading up to it by showing FotR and TT again at my house so the plot is fresh in her mind.

I've noticed that a lot of places upstate are showing it. I am quite pleasantly surprised. I'm actually more surprised more places around NYC aren't showing it... only two theaters downstate (Williamsville is a suburb of Buffalo).

You do realize that the extended versions of FotR and TTT will be showing in theaters about two weeks before the marathon? So you could take your wife to see them at the theater, see them on the big screen (which no one has been able to do yet), refresh her memory and then be all set for RotK.

I won't be able to do the marathon, but I am definitely going to see FotR and TTT on the big screen in the time leading up to RotK. So glad they're going to be a theater in Austin, just an hour away.
