How far will you go?

Earenya · 04-04-2002, 08:16 PM

My roommate and I are currently discussing where we can go in order to see LotR w/ the new TTT preview footage. We think the closest theatre still showing it is 2 hrs away, but this weekend thats our plan.... How far do you guys have to drive in order to see it & will you bother??

Arian · 04-04-2002, 08:27 PM

Well all go to all lenghts to see the TTT movie.

emplynx · 04-04-2002, 08:33 PM

I went to my grandmothers! (we'll I didn't go just for the trailer...) four hours away.

***Khamûl*** · 04-04-2002, 08:47 PM

I don't know where the nearest theater around here is with LotR still playing. But, I would go 'there and back again'. (Sorry. Couldn't resist.

)

BeardofPants · 04-04-2002, 09:35 PM

About 2 minutes walk down the road, and possibly.

Khadrane · 04-04-2002, 09:36 PM

I had to drive about ten minutes. That just proves what lengths I'll go to for LOTR.

samwise of the shire · 04-04-2002, 10:37 PM

I have to drive and hour two at the most to get to the movie. But if it was showing just in Britan I would take ALL risks to ge tover there.

Ten minutes. I live near a mall with a movie theatre. Ain't it great?

Renille · 04-04-2002, 11:47 PM

I would go as far as my parents would take me. (MAYBE 30 mins. away...MAYBE.)

Rána Eressëa · 04-05-2002, 02:06 PM

The closest place is a 2 hour drive away. Curse the nassty hobbits responsible for this!

afro-elf · 04-05-2002, 02:38 PM

considering that i work in the far harad (ksa) it would many 1000's of miles

besides i was so disappointed with FOTR ,i can wait

Earenya · 04-05-2002, 02:57 PM

oh, R?a Eress?, I feel your pain!!! Im still searching for a theatre!!

Twilight · 04-05-2002, 07:53 PM

I went home for Christmas just to have a ride to see FOTR (also so I wouldn't have to pay for it. That is what family is for) I go to college in Kentucky. Home is in northern Illinois. That is a long trip just to get several movie trips payed for.

Khadrane · 04-06-2002, 09:54 PM

I have another question along the same line. If you heard Elijah Wood was signing autographs somewhere, how far would you go?

emplynx · 04-06-2002, 11:20 PM

For EW, maybe an hour away. For Billy Boyd or Viggo Mortensen, probably 3 hours.

Earenya · 04-07-2002, 02:59 AM

Just got back from my weekend trip to see LotR and TTT trailer!! Awesome!!!! It seems soooo long and just made me want it to be Christmastime even more!!

**crickhollow** · 04-07-2002, 04:50 AM

Movies are expensive. I only have to go 15 minutes away, but I probably won't go. Besides, sitting in the movie theatre alone is a little pathetic, and none of my friends wish to "waste" three hours watching "that movie" with me again.

I'm exaggerating, I've only seen FOTR twice, but I can probably stand to wait until Dec. to see TTT in its entirety.

Elf Girl · 04-07-2002, 12:40 PM

I had to go about half an hours drive to the theater, but I would go to the ends of the earth for LotR. To mordor, even, if it was showing there.

I didn't even get to see it at all!!!

My mama took me to go and watch it and it was not in the theatre... we had waited too long... disappointing...

That's awful! Anyway, I think I would drive four hours. But whether or not my mom would is a different story.
