Hey, is anyone planning on seeing Episode III at The Senator? I live out in No. VA, but I'm from Baltimore, so of course I have to see SW there. 
Anyway, I've started a listserv for that. If anyone's interested in our group for this, feel free to PM me your e-mail address. Should be a lot of fun. See you then!

I'm planning on seeing Ep3 at the Crown Theatre in Annapolis Mall. I saw Ep2 there because they have digital projection.

I think this would be a good time/place for passing on the word about the MDFF. Kinda like what saerah is doing out in western MD. Perhaps the members in the Baltimore area could get together there for the first meeting.

Yeah the digital EP II rocked at the Crown! I sure wish I could see EP III there. I may not get to see it on opening night but I might just have to fly over to Baltimore one weekend to hit up the Crown for a digital showing for sure!
You guys take some pics and post em here on the opening night. Okay??
Sure do miss all you guys and gals.

Hey, the Crown sounds good.
But I am originally from Baltimore, I mean really Baltimore. Although I have lived all over Southern Maryland. Right now I still live in Central MD though, so I am more likely to go to the Senator.
However, I plan to go see SW3 at the Senator. I have always gone there for premeres and such.
And Wolfdog, if you want to get a buch of people together to go, I would gladly help.

Hmm, I might be able to get up to the Crown. Is that the one in the mall that's called like Westfield or something like that?
I'd defintely be interested in seeing if I could get up there.

Not on opening night, but I definitely want to get down there and see it -- it's a beautiful movie house... I saw Ep. I there a few times and they had a special print. I was in upstate NY for Ep II so I didn't get a chance to see it at the Senator.
Having seen Ep II in DLP I have no desire to see Episode III (or any other movie for that matter) projected digitally until the resolution is about a thousand times higher. I don't want to pay $10 to see jaggy edges and pixels in a movie.

Yes, CodeName_Targeter, that's it. I saw Ep2 there and then I had to see Finding Nemo and The Incredibles there. It looks amazing.
jpfisher, I never had that problem with the movies I saw digitally. They all looked great.

No offense intended, but maybe you weren't looking close enough?
Even watching a 35mm print there were times that the lower resolution of the digital process used to shoot Ep 2 -- I wrote an article about it around the release... let me see if I can find it.
http://www.starwarz.com/tbone/guest_editorials/jimfisher_backtobasics.htm
The relevant commentary on the video quality is on the sidebar and was based on my initial viewing of the movie via a 35mm print on a THX certified screen.
I didn't write about my experiences seeing it digitally projected at that time (I believe it was a Texas Instruments projector), but I'd say even today that technology is clearly lacking in comparison to 35mm projection. If you go into a theatre that runs the pre-movie/trailer advertisements digitally (Regal does this with "The 20") you can clearly see pixelation in comparision to the actual film.

Does it really matter where you see Ep3 as long as you see it?
I mean, I know that it is important to see it in a good theatre with good viewing qualities, but reaaly it's all about seeing the movie asap?
Right? Well that is just my opinion. I am going to see the movie at The Senator.

I am going to see C3 at the Senator, hopefully. And yes, viewing quality is important. You can't watch Star Wars in a terrible viewing situation.

I will see it at the Senator opening night, Seeing EP II there was awesome. The fellow fans made both the "Ticket" and "Movie" lines a blast. I have my tent and sleeping bag at the ready. And for those who were in the AOC ticket line, that bar on the corner is no more, thus making the line experience that much better.

You dn't mean Swallow at the Hallow do you? That's been a staple for colleg kids in the area for at least 15 years. lol
And besides, you can't tell me you won't miss the drunken frat boys staggering around telling us to get a life (I won't even go into the irony of that). I don't know where you were in line for tix, but aparently, some guy convinced his girlfriend to go up to us and ask if she could get into the front of the line (which was already down the black at this point). So, I think a lot of us are looking forward to seeing if any of the passers-by will come up with some more creative insults (we're not holding our breaths, though).

I moved to Baltimore to go to school a year and half now and I've still never made it to the Senator -- mainly because I get around via bicycle and it's a fair hike away.
Anyway, I was wondering how it's gonna work for the EPIII release. I'm assuming there is a midnight screening -- how early do people seem to line up there?
