Where and When: The Last Star Wars Movie

[Lilaena De'Ville]

There is already a thread like this in the OOC forum, but I thought we should have one here. Where are you going to see the LAST Star Wars movie Revenge of the Sith, and when!?

Personally, I am going to be seeing it at the Century 16 Eastport theatres here in Portland, Oregon. I'm probably going to get there at an undisclosed time (can't have people beating me!) on the 18th for the midnight show and line up with some of my fanatical younger relatives. Some older, too. Anyone in the Portland area want to team up? (haha I know there is no one, oh well )

Anyone else?

I'll be at the Cinemark-Powers theater in Colorado Springs for the midnight show on the 19th. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to get there super early to wait in line, I'll probably get there around 10:30-ish. If it's anything like the showing they had for Ep. II, it'll be a great time.

After that, I'm hoping to catch it at least once or twice later that day, and I'm going with my work group on Friday.

After that I'll probably lay off for a little while - but I'll definitely see it at least once more before it leaves the theaters. My days of going to see SW 10+ times in the theater are waning, but 5+ will do for me.

Now, the question is - should I bring my 10-month old padawan to the midnight show with me? Need to break 'em in early...

LOL I'd leave the kid at home. No one wants a crying baby sitting next to them, even if you can stand it.

Patton Creek Rave 15 in Birmingham, AL, for the 12:00 AM show on the 19th, if they've got a midnight viewing.

The Regal 10 at the mall near my home town. Midnight showing. I'll be going with a bunch of friends, since I believe that everyone will be done with finals then!

There's a number of theaters near me, the question is which one of them will be showing the midnight screening? None of them have any news posted on their websites so I'll have to start making phone calls soon.

Actually, slight change of plans - I'm gonna catch it with a buddy of mine up at the Highlands Ranch theatre in Denver - just got my tickets!!!

Carribean Cinemas at Plaza las Américas in San Juan, PUerto Rico. I will be attending the midnight show the 19th with my local fanforce.

We'll start making a line at 6 AM on the 18th. Some of us are also going to serve as disguised ushers in the charity premiere that same night. I plan to be there until 9PM and then run back to the other theather for the line.

I'm planning on catching a midnight showing at the Valley View Theater in Roanoke. That Friday afternoon I'll probably take the boy. No way I'd take him to the midnight showing on a school night. If it were summer or Friday I'd consider it. I'd never take an infant to a Friday night opening night. Saturday or Sunday afternoons, my baby can cry all she wants. Those showings are full of kids and you should expect those kinds of distractions.

Will the PG-13 rating affect your decision on whether or not to bring the kids?

[Darth McBain]

Seriously, there's no way I'd take my kid - 10 months old... not gonna happen...

[JMK]

Are they even old enough at that age to grasp what's happening on the screen?

[Liam Jinn]

I just got my tickets for....

Cinemark Legacy in Plano, Tx. Midnight showing. Only digital theater in Texas! Wooohooo!

[Kieran Devaneaux]

We're planning on getting tickets for the midnight showing at the Edwards Mira Mesa Stadium 18, south of my hometown of Poway, California. No way in Hell we're going to see it here in Poway - the UltraStar here SUCKS!

Not even close... At her age, Baby Einstein videos are about all she can grasp...

[JMK]

So basically your reluctance to bring her to see RotS is because she may cry during the movie and make you leave?

[Darth McBain]

You know it - I'm not missing the movie we've all been waiting for all these years on account of a crying baby...

My wife and I went to the movies with our son when he was around that age once. It's just not worth the trouble. Sometimes you just gotta get out of the house, but there's not much your kid is going to get out of it at that age. My son is 6 and what the PG-13 rating means to me is that I should probably screen the movie before he sees it. He WILL see it. Not because of me, he's just into SW. He's the same age I was when ANH came out. There's a symmetry to this whole experience that I'm really enjoying. I distinctly remember showing my mother a newspaper with showtimes for ANH and BEGGING her to take me to it. I'll use my midnight screening as a chance to get a look at the more intense images and prepare him for them. He already knows much of what's going to happen because he's constantly asking me questions. Who dies, how they die, who gets toasted to a crisp, who gets their limbs chopped off, etc. He doesn't seemed phased by it one bit so I think he can handle it. But I'll explain the more graphic scenes to him and even how they were probably made.

Not sure when I'll be going just yet, but it will most definitely be to Edwards Cinema in Santa Maria, CA. My roommate and I are trying to get off for it, but we've still no definite answer. Though if we get really desperate, we'll just go to the midnight showing and suck it up at work the next day.

GOT MY TICKETS TO THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING!!!!!!

Got an extra ticket for a friend of mine. I'll probably take the boy Saturday afternoon. If he's excited enough I'll take him that Friday night. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.
