"I'm with you too!"

Yay! My first meeting!

 

@ Dan.

 

Bummer, I've got a Christmas party I'll be at. Won't get to meet you folks this time.

But will be seeing TTT on Thursday!

 

Sorry folks I cannot make it on Saturday. My scout group is having a christmas party and I have another one right after.

Happy X'mas to all of you.

Leo

 

I wont be able to make it this time, i got an evening shift that day. I get boxing day off, ooh all the sales. i cant wait

 

My dad really wants to see LOTR: TTT so he'll be coming along, I hope that's alright.

 

No worries, Cassandra, Leo and Chris. This is definitely quite a busy time of year for many people, and although you?ll all be missed, your absence is certainly understandable. Leo and Chris, if you have the opportunity, I highly recommend that you check out LOTR: TTT. I was fortunate enough to watch it last night and I was utterly amazed. It is, without a doubt, one of the best (if not the best) films of 2002. LOTR: TTT is definitely worth an ovation and a thumbs up.

Definitely! We?d be honoured to have your Dad in attendance at this [b][color=darkblue]Activity[/b][/color], [b]Rachel[/b]. [face_wink]

Arg... Can't go got to work that day...

 

Obi-Dan, did you really say "It is, without a doubt, one of the best (if not the best) films of 2002." ????

Bite your tongue! Better than AOTC????

 

I was fortunate enough to watch it last night and I was utterly amazed.

I can't help but wonder how...

 

I'm going! I'm brining my dad along (he insists on seeing the movie, our conversation went something like this:

"You're seeing Two Towers?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, I'm going."

"Aw, why?"

"Hey, I have a right, I've been a Lord of the Rings fan since before you were born!"

"Fine.")

I'm also bringing my crazy best friend! It's our 10th Christmas together!

See ya there!

 

Sister_Sola: ?Bite your tongue! Better than AOTC?????

I had a feeling someone was going to call me on that little sentence.

[hl=yellow][b]Important[/b][/hl]: For everyone coming tomorrow, I highly recommend that you get your tickets early. I was reading the [i]Vancouver Sun[/i] this morning and apparently [i]LOTR: TTT[/i] raked in [b]$42 million US[/b] on its opening day, which is quite a substantial day at the box office when you consider that it opened on a weedkday (Wednesday) and that it is three hours in length (less screenings per day per cinema). Thus, there is a high probability that the 04:00 PM screening may sell-out. [face_shocked] However, I specifically chose this screening as it is sandwiched in-between the 03:30 PM (this one will sell-out for sure) and 05:00 PM screening of [i]LOTR: TTT[/i] at [b]Metropolis[/b]. Also, there is a 04:15 screening at nearby [b]Station-Square[/b]; so we have quite a few options open to us. [hl=yellow]But I advise everyone to purchase their tickets for the 04:00 PM screening earlier than usual.[/hl] [face_wink]

I was gonna head out early. I'll be sure to pick up my ticket. Maybe we could all meet a bit earlier and go do a mall crawl till the movie opens, or something?

Without a doubt, [link=http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/the_two_towers/]LOTR: The Two Towers[/link] was a exhilarating film and made for yet enjoyable [b][color=darkblue]Activity[/b][/color]. I?ll say more about the film later, but I?m going to save my critique for this [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=9917658&replies=6]thread[/link]. In addition, Saturday?s [b][color=darkblue]Activity[/b][/color] was very much a co-operative effort as well. Special thanks go out to [b]Alex[/b], who not only assumed the role of [b][color=red]Santa Claus[/b][/color] by showering us with gracious gifts but also informed me via telephone that the 4:00 PM screening had sold out early. [face_happy] With this information, I was able to leave early and purchase tickets for those who hadn?t done so yet. Also, huge thanks go out to [b]Christine[/b] and [b]Collin[/b], who stood in line and saved seats for the rest of us. [face_wink]

After the screening, we were able to discuss quite a few [b][color=darkblue]FF Chapter[/b][/color] matters including our future [i]t-shirts[/i], [i]website[/i], and [b][color=darkblue]Collecting Division[/b][/color]. [face_grin] Lastly, thank you to everyone who attended; I definitely had a fantabulous time. [face_wink]

It was definitely worth the long wait in line. The movie was fantastic! I was just a bit disappointed that we couldn't talk with each other for a while longer. Also thanks to Dan for buying tickets ahead of time for Collin and I.

 

Special thanks go out to Alex, who not only assumed the role of Santa Claus by showering us with gracious gifts but also informed me via telephone that the 4:00 PM screening had sold out early.

Thanks, Dan. Just doing my job.

 

"...who does share a definite resemblance to Ben Kenobi."

I knew I wasn't crazy!

 

* 6. Rachel?s father (who does share a definite resemblance to Ben Kenobi)

You know, I never thought of that...

Man, how come I always have to miss out on stuff like that?!?!?!?
