Since I assume we're all hardcore SW fans and most of us will be going to a midnight showing, I wanted to know who wasn't going to be able to make it. That way, we can take pity on them So, who isn't going Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and why?
And if someone responds "I'm not going to the midnight showing, because I'll have already seen it", I'm gonna be pissed One of my stupid friends won a radio contest and is going to a premiere on Tuesday night...bah!

I wouldn't go to a midnight showing, there's no film on earth, now or ever that I care enough about to be that desperate to see. Ideally, I'd be watching Star Wars on the opening weekend, but a friend's birthday is more important and exams are more pressing, I'll see it on the following week, either on my own or depending on whether my friends have exercised the same restrain, with them. And seeing it with friends is more important to me than watching it at midnight. Frankly I'd be too knackered to enjoy it.

I'm not going to the midnight showing. I like SW, and it seems we might be getting a real Star Wars movie this time.
Still, I couldn't be called a huge SW fan by any standards.

I went to a midnight showing of Ep. I, reserved a room in a nice hotel 2 blocks from the theater with a stunning downtown view, girlfriend and I had a late dinner, went to the movie, walked back to the hotel, slept in and got room service the next day ....
It was a lot of fun, but the movie didn't make it that way ... she moved, so, not doing it for this one!

I think I'll be out this weekend, so probably the only chance I'd get to see it would be on Sunday afternoon. Unless, of course, I wanted to wait until the weekend after that. But that way, I'd have to spend a week trying to avoid spoilers from all the people here who saw the movie and would most likely be eagerly talking about it.

I won't be doing the midnight showing, no. First of all, I can't afford to give up a few hours of sleep in the middle of the night (my nine-month-old daughter isn't likely to oblige me by sleeping in). Second, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, I don't want to be associated with all those geeks. Don't get me wrong, I'm a geek as well. But I won't wait in line for *days* to see a movie, or show up in some sort of costume, no matter what. Those geeks give the rest of us a bad name.
My hope is to let my father watch the baby, so I can slip out for a few hours on Friday. He'll actually enjoy that, I think.
73% of all statistics are made up, including this one.
There's nothing about a midnight showing that guarantees geekdom. When I went to the midnight premiere for AotC, there were exactly *two* dress-ups out of the several hundred people.
Of couse, the cinema I'm going to on Thursday morning has a "best dressed" (as in costume) competition going, so ...
I'm not going to the opening day because I can't get the time off-

I'll be in Florida most of that weekend for a Wedding. I may be able to catch a showing, but I highly doubt it.
