I may have more opportunities to be in an empty theater! [In reply to] Can't Post

And while I was glad to have a crowd at my first few viewings, the last was in an empty theater and I became wholly immersed in the movie. I loved it. And I have discovered that HFR 3D is still here in San Diego, much to my delighted surprise!

The rest of the country can have their Super Bowl. I will go to the opera, stop at home to feed my cat, and head for the theater.

(On a side note, I rose this morning to enjoy my rare Sunday off and the opportunity to watch CBS Sunday Morning with my coffee in hand only to find its start time had been moved up to 6 a.m. to accommodate the ALL DAY Super Bowl programming. *snort* Bah humbug.)

Um, what was I saying? Oh yes. #2: the movie ended and I heard "That's IT? They just STOPPED THERE?" to which someone else replied "There's a sequel" followed by a groan from the first person.

Nothing unexpected has happened. There have been some minor annoyances - a couple keeping up a running commentary throughout, and guy two rows down in front of me who pulled out his cell phone with a screen that must have been set at maxium brightness and proceeded to text half the universe. At one viewing there was a huge group of teens who absolutely delighted in Gollum's every move and expression, which was kind of fun. Every time I have been the only one who stayed through the end credits, which I found surprising on the days the theater was packed. (I don't stay any more.)

I have honestly lost count of the number of times I've seen the movie, but I'm pretty excited about adding to whatever that count may be!
