How will you be watching KotCS for the first time?

As uber nerds, we value the "first time" experience with a movie, especially one we've been waiting for. Lots of people go to midnight showings, special events, and sometimes in costume.

So, what are your plans for this momentous event in the life of an Indy fan?

Naturally I am going to a midnight showing. I would LOVE to go to Grauman's, but I'm not sure how/when to get tickets. And I don't know how early I'd need to be there. It's not too far away, but I don't know quite what to do yet If I did, though, it would rock

You?

I'm going to be in New York when it opens, and so am going to have to figure out where the best place to see it there is. There's gotta be somewhere good.

 

I'll be going with my Wife and kids and also good friends of our from Church. I think I'll buy tickets for my parents also. They'll love it.

 

Midnight Showing at the best theater in town. Followed by a regular viewing the next day or the day after with the rest of my family.

 

I might be visiting Washington DC around that time. Definitely midnight showing. Either the Uptown or Hoffman.

As far as getting tickets, check sites like Fandango.com or MovieTickets.com. At least in Fandango you can sign up for an alert that emails you when tickets are available. Usually it doesn't happen until the theaters are selected for showings and showtimes finalized. Probably about 2 weeks before the movie opening.

 

I might just have to call Grauman's. I would just go to the ticket office and ask if I still lived like a mile from there as I did in the fall, but I'm about 90 miles away now

Everton, I'm sure NY has amazing theatres.

I'm not sure anything will ever top the ROTS premiere for me... amazing. But if I get a lot of friends and we wind up watching all the other Indy movies before going (which I also hope to do), could be close.

Midnight premiere in Antwerp's fanciest cinema, possibly while wearing this baby.

 

In the comfort of a nice private screening room...

Then, I'll have to go see it with a crowd at the Village in Westwood... Cuz nothing beats seeing with an audience on opening night.

Hopefully a midnight showing at a digital theater.

 

Drunk.

 

I'm too old for midnight screenings. I'll probably go 10am the next day (and still see it before most of you lot!)

Unless I get a comp to a preview, which is quite possible...

Edit: Bah, soundtrack's on Universal, not Sony (like the SW Prequels) meaning I'll have no chance of getting preview tickets.

 

As an uber nerd, I'd value a "first time" experience in other things too.



That said, midnight screening. I've got a gift card for the movie theater I've had since Christmas just for this.

 

Nothing special. I probably will go to see it day or two after it opens, buy popcorn and a drink and enjoy it. When AoC and RoTS came out I watched them twice at the same day, but with Indy I think one time will be enough, as I'm not anywhere near as exited about it. If it's really good, I can go and watch it again some another day.

 

Yeah, baby. Losing our Indy IV virginity. Guess they had to wait so long until I was legal. And then some

A theatre that is made entirely of the internet?!

Midnight screening would be my choice, if there's one. Sometimes they tend to get the premiere at 10 or 8pm, which kind of takes the fun out of it.

Who knows, maybe they come up with a quad-feature, though that might be a bit too much. Double or triple-features are pretty common for big franchises in Germany, but I don't think they ever went beyond that.
They didn't choose to do them with Star Wars, so I doubt that Indy will get something like that either.

 

Definitely more fun. Especially since I have class the next day and can explain to everyone that I'm tired because of INDY IV WHICH IS FINALLY OUT!

Midnight showing with all my sci-fi geek/cinemaphile/screenwriter friends! The wife loves IJ also, so I'll probably be able to talk her into coming and missing work the next day... so we can go back to the theater and see it again opening day!!!!!!

 

Midnight showing at Downtown Disney in Orlando (digital theater). It's going to be fantastic.

 

I would love to go to the midnight showing, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to russle up any friends who are hard core enough to go with me.

So I'll probably go with my dad soon after it opens.

 

Saw you mentioned Church here. Keep in mind that Lucas himself has said this film will have some religion impacting material, and that the film could cause quite an uproar with what it is suggesting (controversial like the Da-Vinci code). From the spoilers I have heard, I believe this to be true, so maybe warn your friends and anyone else who is going that the film might have some elements they find objectional.

I've got a digital screen in Winchester, I just gotta hope they have a midnight showing.

 

Meh, I think you should just remind people it's just a movie It's not like ToD wasn't controversial and stuff, but bottom line it's just a fun movie. I think the vast majority of religious people get that.

Ewww... Winchester's movie theaters are atrocious. Just make the drive to Manassas or something.

 

Winchester's theaters are amazing. The digital picture and sound is done perfectly. The only negative there is the fact that the seats and carpet and upholstrey is disgusting and in bad need of replacement. But if I have to choose the quality of the film presentation over the quality of the chairs, I'll choose the presentation.

edit: you live around here???
