Trilogy Tuesday Reports Trickle In
Here's a few more Trilogy Tuesday reports to whet your appetite …
Ringer Paul, Fort Wayne
Don't know if you're collecting information on Trilogy Tuesday experiences, but thought I'd pass along what we saw in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Tuesday.
We arrived at the theater at 10:15. We had been told that the doors would be opened at 10:00 and the theater would start seating about an hour before showtime (1:45). The doors were still locked, but opened for the 50-60 people in the cold at about 10:25.
We turned in our tickets to the usher and were given a 6″ length of yellow yarn to tie around our wrists. Our ticket stubs would get us back in the building if we wanted to go out for something and the yellow yarn would get us into the theater.
Mali sme možnosť sa dostať do divadla, okamžite a manažér sa oznámenia o tom, čo sa bude spúšťať. Minuli sa menovky a umožnila všetkým držať menovku na ich miesto, takže sme sa nemuseli obávať, sedadlo, ak sme odišli z nejakého dôvodu. Správca tiež povedal, aby ostali v našich miest po kredity společenstva, pretože mal pre nás prekvapenie. Mali obrovské množstvo dodaných pizze a každý dostal aspoň jeden dobrý veľkosti slice (s sekúnd k dispozícii pomerne málo ľudí). Majú to urobiť počas asi 20 minút, a to nezdalo držať až začiatkom Dve veže.
Mali zarámovanie problému na začiatku Rotky, ale to mám opraviť v priebehu niekoľkých minút, takže to bola len menšie ťažkosti. Po Rotky, bol každý podal svoj filmový rám Zberateľské ako sme vystúpil divadla.
Neviem, ako to v porovnaní s inými divadlami, ale rád by som verejne poďakoval Rave Motion Picture divadlo vo Fort Wayne na výrobu Trilógia utorok mojej skúsenosti naozaj jeden veľký.

Myslel som, že by som vám poslať krátka poznámka o dianí vo Trilógia utorok udalosť v Studiu AMC 30 Divadlo v Olathe, Kansas (Kansas City). Je samozrejmé, že filmy boli fantastické, ako sme vedeli, že bude. Moje pripomienky boli čo do činenia s miestom sám.
Bolo to veľmi chladného rána v Kansas City, včera. Chladný vietor bol okolo 10 stupňov. Prišiel som v divadle v myslení 5:40 AM (naivne) by som byť prvý v rade. Keď som prišiel, bol som 15.. V tú chvíľu boli hodené moje nádeje na získanie miesta na moje obľúbené radu. Najmä preto, že mnohí z tých 15 bolo úsporu miesta pre ostatné. A hoci veľa ľudí prišiel a "škrty v line", dav zostal docela dobre vychovaný. Ale ... bol som len rád, že sa deje.
S postupom času rástol bližšie k akcii, divadelné vedenie stále sú členmi informovala o tom, čo by sa stalo, hneď sme sa dostali do dverí. Sú informovaní všetci by im na krk za svoje letenke, povedali nám, že sa s niekoľkými lacnými koncesiu voľby a že sa chystajú sa na nás priamo v divadle po otvorení dverí na 11 hodín. V tú chvíľu myslel na 72 stupni divadlo sa všetci jasali.
Ako bolo sľúbené, že nám v presne v 11 hodín. Divadelné personál bol dobre pripravený. Rýchlo sa dostali nás v divadle. Bol som veľmi zapôsobila, ako im ho môžete nastaviť. Toto divadlo je spriahnutie off. Keyholdery dovolené divadelné personál rýchlo rozpoznať, ak boli schválené vo "svätej" oblasť. Dokonca zviazaná z časti koncesie oblasti prispôsobiť konkrétne na trilógii utorok patrónom. Sú dokonca aj za predpokladu, Pizza pre celú publikum medzi TT a Rotky. Dokonca aj "to" bolo vykonané v usporiadane. Personál vedel, že to bolo niečo zvláštneho a udalosti s nimi zaobchádza ako také.
Kudos to vedenie a zamestnanci v Studiu AMC 30 divadle.
Ringer Julie, Cleveland
Just thought you might want to hear reports about Trilogy Tuesday from various cities (plus, I can't really get my mind on work yet this morning!) Our theater management worked hard to make it an incredible experience for everyone.
My husband and I got there about 8:30 am and we were 15th in line. We were able to wait inside the lobby, although as the line grew, some fans had to wait outside in the cold. We were told that we could save one seat each in the auditorium, that we'd be served a free lunch, no outside food (although we were allowed to have it in line), and our bags would be searched. Once we were seated, the theater manager jotted our names on a chart so that we didn't have to worry about seats being stolen.
The worst part of the day was the “free lunch” that was catered by a local restaurant. It turned out to be a tiny sandwich (about 1/4 of a sandwich), and we were only allowed one! They served personal pizzas at the second break, and that went better.
A New Line rep turned up before ROTK, and after the movie we got a LOTR memorabilia thingy (I think it has frames from the movies.) It was OK; we would have liked a T-shirt better. We stumbled outside about 2:30 am Several TV stations came and interviewed people in costume. Overall it was an incredible experience, and I wish you all could have participated!

There and Back Again, A Moviegoer's Tale
When I first purchased my ticket so long ago for New Line Cinema's Lord of the Rings “Trilogy Tuesday” I was ecstatic. The fact that I was going to be a part of this unique piece of cinematic history, available to only a select few, was a thought I could have only dreamt of. Little did I know, however, that something seemingly so simple and trivial would affect me so greatly.
I am sure many others, like myself, were tempted to sell their tickets to the event, even if only for a moment, at many times their face value. In fact, I am sure many of the original buyers did sell their tickets. For those of you who did indeed sell your tickets and are now reading this: you missed out. I wouldn't have traded anything in the world for what I was a part of today.
On the Big Day, I awoke after a scant night's rest, thanks to work the previous night, and stumbled into the shower…being driven only by the thought of getting to the theatre and securing a good seat. The thought of being stuck in the far corner of the front row, doomed for the entire show to crane my neck to look at the screen, spurned me on faster.
By the time I arrived at the theatre the line of people waiting had already been let inside. I entered the auditorium armed and ready for battle with my giant cup of coffee, an energy bar, and a Game Boy…it was three hours until show time. To my dismay, many of the seats had been taken, and those not filled by a human being were marked clearly with jackets and sweatshirts, indicating that they were not vacant. I despaired briefly, visions of the front row filling my mind, before spotting the Perfect Seat – halfway up, directly in the middle; this was the single advantage of being alone…it was much easier to find a good seat. No person, jacket or sweatshirt marked this seat as taken. Just to the left of it, a man slept soundly.
Spýtal som honem na ľudí okolo, ak miesto bolo držané ... nikto nevedel. Vzal som riskovať v nádeji, že spiaci muž nie je pre každého, kto ju drží, a posadil sa. Vytiahol som svoje Game Boy a pripravený do boja s časom. Všade okolo ľudí bavili a smiali vzrušene ... atmosféra bola veľmi pozitívna. Bol som asi štyridsať päť minút do môjho súboji s nudou, keď človek spí vedľa mňa prebudil. Vzal som oznámenie o tom, ale nič nepovedal. Pozrel sa na mňa omámene.
"Ako dlho ste tu?" Spýtal sa.
Aj vypnutý Game Boy a pozrel sa na neho. Mal veľmi silným prízvukom, a to sa mu dosť ťažko pochopiť.
"Asi dve hodiny", odpovedal som, ako rýchlo prehodnotiť ... to len zdalo, že dlho. Som opravil sám.
"Myslím, štyridsať päť minút."
Dole, na úpätí obrazovky, zosobnenie zápas bol zadržiavaný.
"To je moje miesto Bahs '," povedal a jeho prízvuk čo mu takmer nezrozumiteľné.
"Čo?" Spýtal som sa, aj keď už som vedel, čo príde.
"To je môj šéf 'miesto," opakoval.
To bola smrteľná rana ... nielen že som stratil Perfect sídla, ale aj teraz, ešte viac času ubehlo som bol takmer určite odsúdený na front-radu sedadiel.
Ospravedlnil som sa a vstal, a sledoval, ako zvyšok zosobnenie súťaže z uličky, to všetko pri skenovaní na ďalšie slušné miesto. It was during this search that a very courteous woman offered me a seat only four places to the right of the Perfect Seat. I thanked her profusely while settling in to my newfound property, and resumed my duel with boredom.
This woman's courtesy was a perfect example of the attitude of everyone in the theatre. Not once, throughout the entire show, did I hear ill words spoken. And while everyone did boo and hiss Britney Spears when she came on the screen, it was all in good fun.
As for the films themselves…they were wonderful to see on the big screen, back to back…to back. While the audience watched Frodo and Sam embark on their quest, we were all embarking on a quest of our own. I formed bonds with the people I sat next to, and even though I will probably never see them again, I will always remember them and this one small piece of history that we shared.
Like the fellowship, we endured our own hardships, though they were of a different nature. Instead of Ringwraiths and orcs, we had sore backs and full bladders to contend with (by the time RotK ended I was afraid my bladder was going to explode). But we endured to the end. We received our complimentary gifts, which are quite wonderful, and were sent on our separate ways.
On my way to the parking lot I was filled with sadness – sadness for the event being over, and sadness for the movies being finished. However, I was at the same time filled with hope for the future…the films, RotK especially, were an inspiration to me. They helped me overcome an emotional hurdle I had been attempting to jump for a very long time.
And now that I have seen Return of the King for the first time, I am ready to embark on the final part of Tolkien's adventure a second time…and a third … and a fourth …
Ringer Lilania, Springfield
I've seen Return of the King and it was, of course, beyond incredible, but I'm hoping that everyone else's Trilogy Tuesday experience didn't quite match ours. Springfield, MO had an unplanned intermission. Halfway through Shelob's lair, the screen changed to some unusual effects which changed to the film frying before our eyes. It was restarted in just a few minutes, and I *think* we only missed a couple seconds of the movie, but in the meantime, Springfield nearly saw the rioting of 400 geeks.
