::sigh:: Looking over my exam schedule, I noticed that as my classes currently stand (I might be switching to a different math class), I have an exam from 1:30-3:30 on the 16th, then nothing until the 19th, meaning that I could go to the Lord of the Rings TrilogyFest. I would probably just miss a bit of FotR. And if Allison and her friends were going, I wouldn't have to worry about being in King of Prussia alone so late at night! I started getting really excited and looked up the details. Apparently, the KoP theatre is EVIL and started selling tickets several days ago, when all theatres are technically not supposed to start selling tickets until tomorrow. The theatre was sold out within one hour.

So no LOTR for me. Maybe I'll take a studybreak on the 17th or 18th when it's playing in a more convenient theatre, or maybe I'll just wait until I get home. Still, it's really disappointing. I've never seen the extended editions of FotR or TTT (is the TTT extended DVD even out yet?), and it would have been a blast to get to see them on the big screen. Ah, well. I'm sure plenty of you are in the same boat. *grins* Maybe I'll convince the Dining Philosophers or some other equally nerdy group to arrange something similar on Penn's campus, as there are plenty of movie screens about, and I'm sure someone will have the DVDs.

Edit: Hmm... it looks like Harrisburg hasn't started selling tickets yet. I wonder how convenient that would be... Allison, have you bought tickets to the KoP showing?

Harrisburg Regal Cinemas Harrisburg 14: Here is some more info for ALL Regal theatres. This comes directly from a corporate email. 12/16 ONLY - Trilogy Presentation. This is a special ticket event, one price of $35.00 for the day, to see all three films. (IT has created the necessary pricing scheme at your location.) A New Line representative will be at each location to distribute a special commemorative gift to each patron for the Trilogy Presentation. MANDATORY ASSIGNED SHOW TIMES: 2:00 PM - "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring"; 6:00 PM - "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"; 10:00 PM - "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King." (p.s. Most Regal Cinemas seem to be selling tickets online via Fandango)

Further edit: Oh, squee! I forgot that theatres are bringing back the extended FotR and TTT editions on Dec 5-11 and 12-15th! Of course, I'd have to go all the way to KoP twice in order to see them, which is no trifling journey, but the 5-11th is clear and I have no exams on the 13th and 14th, and I might not have one on the 15th. And they're not sold out yet! And I could go shopping for Christmas presents for my friends and family while I'm at it. And I wouldn't mess up my sleep cycle with a 10:00 movie! Score!
