3. Christmas Eve matinee
That's when I saw "The Two Towers." It was perfect; a half dozen people in the theater. Then, on to Christmas Eve evening.

8. I'll probably end up doing that...
with my little brother. It's almost like a xmas tradition in my family now. Several years ago one of the Star Trek movies was out at xmas and my mom is a HUGE trekkie so we took her to see it on xmas eve. The only people in the theater were us and the projectionist. He came down and sat with us and we had a fabulous time. So now if there's anything good on we'll go see it on xmas eve.

9. probably not see it. havent seen a "lord of the rings" yet.
not a big fantasy person here. I read the books when i was young so I know I would not be greatly interested. I might consider watching all of them on dvd/video at some point just to see what all the fuss is about.

17. Ten of us go. Waiting for showtimes to coordinate all our schedules.
We make a day of it. We meet up before the movie, and spend time chatting afterwards.

On behalf of all of us, we can't wait.

But do we know when we're going yet? No! :D
