I sympathise Buzz, but for selfish reasons I'm also very pleased this is on the weekend or else there's no way my kids and I could attend. You can number us among the masses that you deplore sharing the cinema with!
Joking aside, I have been lucky in my movie experiences here in Wellington. While the noisy, irritating audiences may be a fact of life in the suburban multi-plexes, audiences here seem to all be pretty respectful at the boutique cinemas where we usually go to watch films, for which I am most thankful.
My daughters and I are very keen to do the OT Sunday marathon, especially since it will be screening in the mighty Embassy theatre, the biggest screen in Wellington. For my youngest it will be her first cinema SW experience, and my oldest has only the 3D TPM under her belt which was in a tiny cinema anyhow, so for both it should be pretty awe-inspiring when that Star Destroyer rolls overhead for the first time on the hge screen and with full sound blasting at us. I will be curious whether they make it all the way through - that's a long day. If we have to bail at some point then so be it.
Cost and times are now the big unknowns. I am hoping that attendance isn't literallty the cost of three regular movie tickets and is discounted in some way, because that would kill me. I'd love to do this, but not if it is going to cost us the better part of $100. An intermission between each film would also be very welcome. We'll see what Event has planned for us in a couple of days when tickets go up for sale anyhow.
I'd rather go during the much quieter weekday mid-morning or early afternoon timeslot.
