No; just your standard runny nose and fever. We were going to leave him at a friend's house, but she has kids of her own, and is ambivalent about accepting a biohazard into her home.
I won't get in trouble if I go by myself, but it won't be as much fun either. Plus, going to The Hobbit alone on opening night leaves one wide open to accusations of nerddom, and we can't have that.
Plan B might be that I go with the would-be babysitter's husband tonight, and then tomorrow we trade places so the women can see it too (they don't care as much).
He still has 9 hours to get over it!
Got your Hobbit tickets? Post here!
Nope... and now, with day one of my lonely vigil behind me I should be good for the long haul.Lalaith wrote:Did you do it, SirD?
The thought went through my head last night around 11:30: I'm awake enough to go see the midnight premiere!
For the record I'm one who attends midnight and early screenings whenever I get a chance. I've even lined up for early video game releases. I don't worry about the nerd factor if I have to go alone, though going with the baby-sitter sounds kind of, er, nice.

Just got back from the movie theatre with hubby. We saw Skyfalll. 
We thought about making it a double feature and staying for the late showing of The Hobbit, but decided to stick with our original plan - TH in IMAX on Xmas Day.

As much as I'm not a fan of Peter Jackson, I just can't fathom how you could be in a cinema and not watch the Hobbit. Some extraordinary discipline some folks have!narya wrote:Just got back from the movie theatre with hubby. We saw Skyfalll.
I'll be seeing Django Unchained before seeing The Hobbit (if ever). Already saw Skyfall (loved it). Hoping to see Breaking Dawn 2 some time next week.Shelob'sAppetite wrote:As much as I'm not a fan of Peter Jackson, I just can't fathom how you could be in a cinema and not watch the Hobbit.

I saw Skyfall a few weeks ago, and also liked it quite a bit. Especially the scenes in Scotland. I am looking forward to Django Unchained, not least because the wonderful and hilarious Christoph Waltz is in it.SirDennis wrote:I'll be seeing Django Unchained before seeing The Hobbit (if ever).

This time round, I have no avid LOTR fans to see it with. (Okay, my late husband wasn't a HUGE fan, but he had read the books at least, and liked them.) However, the kennel groomer (who has also become a good friend) has agreed to go to see it with me. We will pick an off-peak time to avoid the crowds, likely a Tuesday (cheaper tickets). In exchange, I have agreed to see Life of Pi with her.
I also have another friend in Toronto who wants to see it. My plan is to see it once in 3 D, and once in 2D. I will miss about 60 to 80% of the dialogue in 3D, due to my hearing impairment. However, they now have a closed captioning system for 2D, which gives me an excuse to see it a second time. (As if I need one!)

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

I am going to see it TOMORROW!!
A friend booked seats at an IMAX theatre in downtown Toronto. This country mouse isn't too happy about the venue (will have to take public transit, ALONE, late at night) but what the hey...this is Toronto the Good, right??
It will be 3D IMAX, without the 48 fps frame rate.
