My Hobbit screening plans are more advanced than I would have guessed they'd be at this point

Even though I'm looking forward to the film hugely and am literally counting the days it was only the other day that I realised I had made plans to see it seven times already, all in the first couple of weeks! Screening 1 is a nice easy one - I am lucky enough to manage a very nice cinema and so, as it turns midnight between the 13th and 14th December, I'll be starting a staff screening of the film. 2D, 24FPS. I've said it before but that's how I left Middle-Earth - that's how I plan to re-enter it. And, as I say, that'll be with a few members of staff and my girlfriend. Screening 2 will be on the afternoon of December 14th (I'll be working the evening and can't wait - I worked all of the openings for LOTR and feel very nostalgic for those shifts) at the cinema I used to work at and the one I watched all of the original trilogy at. That showing will be 3D and will be just me. Screening 3 will be on December 16th and will be with a friend who I travelled around New Zealand with back in 2010 where she got dragged to many of the locations. Luckily she loved them and so this will be our chance to see some of what we saw together on the big screen. And that will be in IMAX, in 3D and 48fps. That one's the real treat! Screenings 4 and 5 will be the week after Christmas when I visit my relatives back home. I took my little sister to see each of the LOTR films every Christmas when they were out and, although she's no longer little, I intend to keep up the tradition and take our 16 year old niece along too who is currently mad about Lord of the Rings. And my best friend lives there who I watched all three of the originals with and he's the biggest Tolkien geek I I know so seeing it with him as soon as we get the chance in mandatory. Then, over the new year, I've made vague plans for screenings 6 and 7 - once at my cinema (it's free!) with my girlfriend and her parents and once at the local IMAX digital with a friend. I'm sure there will be more screenings afterwards as well. I ended up seeing Fellowship about 13/14 times on its first run (it was when I started working at a cinema and the excitement of being able to go for free got to me) and have gotten to at least 20 big screen viewings of it n the years since. Never once has it felt diluted. I hope it's the same way with The Hobbit.
