The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

If you haven't seen the teaser trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey yet... what have you been doing with all your time last night and today?!? It is absolutely superb. I was impressed with the flow for visuals, music and theme. Unlike some teaser trailers, this one showed enough to make everyone happily excited about the movie. I really loved the music, and already have made a ringtone of the dwarves singing the Misty Mountains song. I can't wait for the sountrack and a longer version of that instrumental theme.

358 days to go!!

 

I AM SO EXCITED about this...i was already in bed & got up to watch it.

 

I know T, I had chills just watching 2 minutes of it, I can't imagine how awesome it will be to see it all in it's Glorious Peter Jackson Vision!

So warming to see Ian back in His Grey.

 

I can't wait to see the Hobbit. It looks fantastic so far.

And they seemed to doa good job of making the Dwarves look different. When I ready it, I had a very hard time telling them apart. Hopefully we'll be able to keep track of them all.

 

I think this is going to be fantastic! This one I'm willing to pay money to see on the big screen. Unfortunately, this too will be in 3D (my eyes are getting really tired of 3D), so I'll wait for the 2D version to come out. Maybe we should all break out our elf and hobbit costumes and go as a group...

 

I'm in. I plan to see this a few times during it's run and already have a costume

 

A July release date for the third movie?? But - what about San Diego Comic Con?? Why choose what is sure to be SDCC weekend???

I know we are all caught up with the Episode VII / Disney news today, but don't forget that the Hobbit is rapidly approaching! Only 6.5 weeks till the premiere! Also, advanced tickets go on sale in just over ONE WEEK on Nov 7!

And for those who like tie-in collectibles, apparently Denny's will have collectible cards to go along with their new Hobbit-theme menu starting in a week.

 

Which fast food place will have the toys with the kids meals?

 

Do we want to do a group movie?

 

I might be up for that.

 

Do we want to do this opening night the 14th? Or Saturday the 15th since I know sometimes its hard for people to make Friday night movies after work...

 

Is this for December? The 15th is the RMFF December meeting.

 

Hmmm..........then the 14th would probably be better

 

Hrm....

 

I have also just heard that there will be LotR extended marathons shown nationwide, the weekend before the Hobbit premiere.

 

Anyone interested in the group movie on the14th

 

I won't be able to go on the 14th

 

. Maybe the following weekend ?

 

i wanna go! i would LOVE to do the marathon...but wow, that is one long day and a half.

 

Either weekend works for us.

 

LOTR Marathon Saturday Dec 8th
$30 for all three movies.
UA Colorado starts at 11:15am (strongly suggesting that one since a few of us will be at the '40's Ball the night before)
AMC Highlands starts at 10:00am
Nothing on Fandango about whether it's extended versions or not, guessing it's the original theatrical releases.
I think there will be some time between movies to get a bite to eat, long but really fun day!

I can't go to the midnight showing of Hobbit since I'll be in Ft. Collins Toys-for-Tots all day on the 15th with AL, then the company's Christmas party that night. Looks like I'll miss the "liquid" party/meeting. Just too many things going on that weekend for me. I'll go to the Hobbit probably on Christmas day matinee. Until then, no spoilers please!!

 

i wish i could do the marathon, however my work Christmas party is on that day...

 

I have plans for the night of the marathon. It might be too much movie for me anyway.

 

I plan on doing the marathon at home.....
