Just like with Nemesis, I will be seing it on the Sat. Matinee. Work all week prevents frivolous activity.

I will probably go see it sometime this weekend.

I will see it tomorrow. Should have had tickets for the midnight premiere, but the queue was ridiculously long, and full of nerds, just like me.

the movie is good. there were a lot of crazy people out there at midnight watching this. several from the lotr fanclub. i had to work also but i think it was worth only getting 3 hours of sleep. And tonight i go to see it at the IMAX.

Probably going to see it Friday or Saturday. Was going to see it today, but there were some small conflicts with my flight... and tomorrow I'm just going to be too tired to do much of anything.

I'm hearing from some early reviews that Gollum is really good (as in well done, not an all around nice guy, silly

)...

saw it at IMAX. unfortunately they were showing regular format and not IMAX format, but the sound system was much better. The movie was very good but i forgot how slow the 2nd book was and it carried over into the movie a little. plus both times i saw it i was getting out at 2-3am so that may have had something to do with it.

unfortunately no one at either of the showings i have been to wore costumes. i have some RenFest clothes but didnt think of wearing them at the time.

edit: they did an excellent job with Gollum. he looks like he is really in the film. the digital make over of his body double was very well done. the fight scene btwn him and Frodo and Sam plus the river fishing scene where you actually see the water getting splashed around were both well done.

You know how they did that don't you? I was watching the making Last night on TNT. It was cool, they got an actor and put him in a wet suit and made him splash around after the fish. (I still haven't seen the actual movie yet) but they had him fighting frodo and sam and everything. But then they went to a studio and put him a motion sensitive suit and had him redo all his moves to get the computer to animate Gollum. It was pretty cool to see it being done.
