Once I'm a millionair I'll make a serious nerd only cinema that shows reruns of old sci fi tv and movies and stops anyone coming in that has a tumblr account, is a noisey fan girl, writes slashfic, has nerd B.O or makes noise during movies,. All entrants must pass a 100 questions test that avoid pop culture references.
Just in time for that 40K 60FPS 20 doctor 75th anniversary special using advanced cgi for the deceased doctors.

Theory: they'll open up more screens if it's selling this fast.
I was hoping there would be an evening showing on the 23rd. That way I could watch it at home without all the Fanboy/girls drowning out the dialogue and then see it in 3D later that day.
I'm not too fussed about seeing it in theatre but if I can grab tickets I will.

Can't see them being a problem in the UK. Saw Revenge of the Sith and the last Potter on opening night and there wasn't a damn sound during the movie. There was a tiny cheer in Star Wars when the title appeared, but that was it.

Yay, tickets booked with the perfect seats. Pretty happy.

And fuck, a college town is where the nearest showing is for me. I'm at least 15 different types of screwed.

The idea of Cinema Doctor who got me super excited but I personally know fan girls who are going so I know who will be attracted to the cinema to see it.
I got invited to a Doctor Who 50th Party by fan girls.
I'm going to avoid it all and be an old fuddy duddy and watch it in peace and quiet in my own home on my comfy ass sofa with my big ass tv in plain old BBC HD. Maybe with some werthers originals and a glass of um bongo

If it's showing in Ames, by all rights it should be showing in Madison. And yet, the only WI showing I've seen evidence of is the one in Milwaukee.
I'd rather go to the Southdale theater frankly, Rosedale is always a madhouse and I've had all kinds of technical problems with screenings there.

I've booked a set of tickets for my hometown cinema and for my uni cinema. Taking no chances.

Seconded. Virtually stand alone from the rest of big finish stuff so you don't need to hear anything else (I say "virtually" as you probably won't be familiar with India Fisher's Charley Pollard).

76m 44s is the TV version without the making of, I'm guessing.

Guessing the 85 cut probably is the cinema version with any minisodes/extra content thrown in.

Listening to Light at the End, I had the thought that I'll actually be a bit sad if they don't use the Middle Eight in the theme tune, at least in the credits. It's bummed me out they got rid of it after Series 3 and only had it at the end of The Beast Below since.

Hopefully the 85 min cut is not actual episode content, if that isn't included in the TV cut I'll be pissed.

Completely sold out for the 23rd and 25th here in NYC, which was to be expected (especially since one of the theaters is near NYU).

I'm betting this is in reference to stuff like GI Joe and Thor. Not too much different from Michael Caine saying he did Jaws: The Revenge because he wanted to buy a couch he had his eye on.

I read that interview with Eccleston, he says he didn't work for 7 months after Thor 2. He also refused to answer questions about Who.

Ironically, exactly the same interview was granted only on the condition the interviewer didn't even mention Doctor Who - if he did, Eccleston's agent pre-warned he'd walk out! So, y'know. Ho hum.

Eccleston is exactly the kind of actor we need to see way less of.

I love that the BBC has kept an archive of this "in-universe" page from during Series 1 (Clive's website) - there's some old companions in here and other ones actually written by RTD/the BBC, but then there's also some user-submitted ones too. In general it's a cool thing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/whoisdoctorwho/sightings.shtml
I remember visiting that website every week, as it would subtly update with 'sightings' related to that week's episode for present/past episodes and other side stuff for future ones... I can't believe it was eight years ago.

It forgot to add with an asterisk "Except Doctor Who"
My wife (who is a way bigger fan of Big Finish than me) was really excited to hear that Charley was in this.

Pretty expensive couch. Made out of Weimariners or something.

Yup. Actors gotta eat. Or get their bay window fixed. Or sit down on a very comfortable couch.
It's still a job, after all.

God, I want this man in Doctor Who. It's a shame they never got him when he kept saying he wanted to do it because of how much he and Tennant get on, as that's an easy foot in the door, the friendliness. Suppose the timing was tight, though, given that by the time he and Tennant cosied up there were only five or six Tennant episodes left. Still. Wonder if he and Capaldi know each other? Certainly Stewart would've been mid-tier on the theatre circuit when Capaldi was up-and-coming...
Just found out tickets are on sale, Saturday and Monday are both sold out
Yeah same thing happened to me. I wasn't even expecting them to show it on Saturday in my city (particularly since I stumbled on an early listing for the monday showing with no sign of a saturday one at the time).
It really grinds my gears when they make events like this so limited. Isn't it enough that it's limited time-wise? One theatre in each city even if the chain they're working with has 3. Lame.

Why the hell aren't they broadcasting it in 3D on TV?

Drat. If I DVR it, will I still be able to watch it in 3D? Everywhere I looked say its only in Cinemas.
So BBC One will show it in 3D live?

BBC One HD, I think, but yes. Not sure about the DVR, though.

Not BBC One - BBC Red Button HD will be doing the 3D showing.
Edit: This is OLD INFO from the Wimbledon final, but would assume the same applies:
"Now that the BBC HD channel - the previous home of BBC 3D - has closed, viewers will be able to go 3D with a compatible 3D TV on the BBC Red Button HD channel, available on Freeview HD and YouView channel 303, Freesat channel 980, Virgin Media channel 994 but not on Sky."
Sky wanted 20k for the channel to be listed for something.

its in 3d on red button hd, so its only on freeview, freesat and virgin, not on sky

So I completely forgot to set the alarm to wake up and grab tickets to a nearby showing...
... But my wife - not even a Dr. Who fan - woke up early and manned her computer to grab us center seating at our favorite theater, which filled up within minutes of availability.
I knew she was a keeper.
