I am going to miss the midnight showing but I am going to be able to see it during the noon show.
I'm probably going to take the entire day off and see it a couple of times.

Going to the midnight show is just pointless IMO. Seeing it on the evening of the day it opens is what ive done for each movie so far and its what I plan to do with Ep3

The midnight showings around here (Indianapolis) are pretty lowkey. I went to the AOTC midnight showing, all three LOTR midnight showings, and 2 of the three Matrix midnight showings, and the people there were pretty normal. A couple people dressed up, and a couple people waited in line 12+ hours to get the best seats, but overall it was pretty normal. Except for the fact that it was midnight, and we were all going to a movie.
I love midnight showings. For these big blockbusters, it's fun to be one of the first people to see it. Plus, it's become a tradition for my brother and I to go to these things. I can't wait

Take pitty on me please!
I want to hit the midnight show, however the girlfriend, who is taking me on a "date" to see this film does not want to go to the midnight show.
The reason?
Well, we rolled up to the Medina Ohio area theatre and were greeted by a line of about 50 star wars fanatics that went full dress to get their tickets, and this scared the hell out of her. Really, I don't have a problem with dressing up if it's done in taste, but when your 45, weigh 300 pounds, and look fricking ridiculous in your darth vader suit (don't remember Vader havinga beer gut) and are swinging your light saber at those not dressed up in star wars garb and calling us bastard rebels (long sentence, eh?) and jumping up and down, you suck, period.
So, no I'll be waiting until this weekend, thanks again Darth Fucktard, you ruined my wednesday night.
Arghhh.

I'll probably watch it on Thursday or Friday afternoon, I refuse to shell out over $10 for tickets. Probably less people too since everyone's still at work or in school.

can't go (as pull 10h work days (though I don't on fridays(or weekends), there's no way I'll have strength to go to the opening night (I'll see ROTS when I got the time))

Alas, I am not going to the midnight showing. I'm going to the 12:01 AM showing.
I've already got my precious tickets (only eight bucks each, not bad for a special showing) for myself and two of my friends, and now I just have to wait two more days.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

Nit and I are hoping to hit the Saturday Matinee.
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

I'll see it friday. I want to keep my expectations low so that I'm not disappointed.

I'm catching an early showing on thursday. To be honest, while it is tempting to try and see a 12:01 showing, I frankly don't trust my driving ability at 3am.
