What's up with you crazy Americans not having reserved seating? Such a thing would cause mild disapproval in the UK

I'm seeing it at 14.30 tomorrow and might turn up at around 14.30.

How many theaters in town show it, and how many times a day? And how many months do they stay in the theaters?

Agreed. It makes much more sense for both parties to accept preorders and allocated seating.

I went to City Center 15: Cinema de Lux & IMAX (ny, white plains) to watch Promethus (IMAXish) and they had reserved seating. First place I went to that had it. Felt so nice not to worry about lines or anything like that.
 
Lol, hopefully you aren't at an old school IMAX theatre?

I went to see a movie at ours once (it isn't digital) and they put on the wrong film and were like "Yeh umm, we can't stop it, it has to run through, sorry bout it".

What? There's no way they'd design a projector like that.

hahaha I did the same thing. I was reading down the thread thinking "hmm these posts seem kinda spoilerish almost as if I'm in the...OMG IM IN THE SPOILER THREAD LOOK AWAY AND CLOSE BROWSER WINDOW NOW!!!!"
 
extremely trite point: it really is nice, having seen TDKR, to look back at what Nolan has done with Batman as a series. I'm happy to argue about which one is better because it's kind of fun, but in the end, as a complete work that you can look back on, these three movies have kind of proven a point that I didn't see coming. I would have laughed if you said you were going to take Batman and just make it completely self-serious. But they did it and people love it. That's a little bit amazing. I remember walking out of the cinema following Batman Begins and thinking "who the fuck is Christopher Nolan and why haven't I heard of him before". It's been a long time. I realise praising Nolan has kind of become a weird internet-meme-thing, but praise where praise is due.

TDKR is completely satisfying in that regard. Walking out, I was like, yep, mission accomplished. Good work.

Yes, yes and yes. He's created my Star Wars.

Can't wait til it's out on Blu-Ray, I'm gonna try and watch them back to back.

Fuck, I really hope I don't have to do this.

I'm going to the 2nd liemax showing in the city, 12 noon since there only 1 at midnight.

I hope people go to the other non-liemax showings tomorrow, but the 2nd liemax has to be popular. Ugh.

The third liemax showing is 3 hours and 30 minutes later.

Yea..my method doesn't work for IMAX since there's only one showing at a time. If the movie is popular I usually show up like 2 hours early for IMAX. I think it was 3 hours for Spiderman 3 opening night.

But IMAX on Friday at noon? There can't be THAT many people...can there? I'd say 1 hour, 2 hour max and you'll be fine...........

I'm ready. Time to venture to the mall and then the Henry Ford IMAX. I wonder if I'll run into a GAF member.

See you guys on the other side

I suppose it depends on your age, but like I said earlier the LOTR films came out when I was 8, 9 and 10; the Batman ones when I was 11, 14 and now 18. They're the same to me as Star Wars was to my dad, you know?

Well I was older for the LOTR series (20s) but I just never got into it. I know it was quality product but it never interested me much. So I missed out. Original Star Wars trilogy was before my time so I missed out as it happened, though of course once I caught up with it I found it amazing.

Harry Potter could have been that series for me but I never watched a single movie because I wanted to read the books first and only got around to that this past Dec. Now I am watching the movies (1 per week) and while I enjoy them I am finding them all to be lacking so far, except for POA, and feel like they butchered some of the best stuff from the books (esp Half Blood Prince).

But this Batman trilogy by Nolan? First of all Batman is my fave, and to see him resurrected from death and then to such heights? Well its fucking fantastic. I had faith Nolan would do well. And he did. BB was more than I ever expected faults and all. But to think Batman would become this craze esp after WB/Schumaker did to it, and all because they are quality movies and not because its some child fad?

Been a great ride. Probably my Star Wars too.
 
BatGAF is about to hit its climax, lots of people seeing it tonight. Will be good fun to see all the impressions come pouring in, while im stuck here at work. (just no spoilers ffs! I've managed to avoid all junior suicides, and I'd like to keep it that way!)

35 hours to go for me.
 
Hate to ask because I know its been posted many times before but a friend needs the list for the real IMAX theaters vs lieMAX.

Thanks in advance if you can provide the link!

My Star Wars is Bond. Grew up on it.

My dad as well, Bond & Star Wars = LOTR & Batman.

I'd obviously seen a bunch of Bonds and SW before the cinema releases for LOTR and Batman, but it's not the same with them not being in the cinema; the waiting, the traveling to there, the sitting down in the dark theatre and just waiting.

I felt like that for Phantom Menace as well. Fuck that.
 
Yup, looking at the trilogy as a whole, what they managed to do with a sub-genre (superheroes) and elevate it to another level doesn't feel like a feat that will be repeated for a long time.
 
My Star Wars is... Star Wars Original. I'm 24. It was like... the first and most respected film triology I learned out.

I'm not really a big Star Wars fan, I like Star Trek better, but there hasn't really been a trilogy very important to me or one where I enjoyed all three movies.
