One Ring to Bring them All
Today I ordered tickets online for the first time from Fandango. This is the same company that has those weird lunch bag puppet ad that they show before movie. I think that is the only non-annoying forced viewing movie theater ad.
It was pretty cool how I could find out what movie theater in my area used this system and what shows for tomorrow still had availible seats. I paid with my credit card and will just have to pick up my tickets tomorrow but I brought a printout of my order confirmation just in case. I will still have to wait in line because they do not have a kiosk at this theater but at least I know that I have my tickets reserved.
It cost me two bucks extra but it was worth it instead of having to drive to the theater and buying tickets for tomorrow's showing of The Lord of the Ring : Return of the King. Both Kymberly and I are busy over in Seattle tonight but we wanted to get ticket due to the extremely likely chance that it would be sold out all week long.
Expect a review of Return of the King Friday night or Saturday.

Fun things to do while watching lord of the rings:
1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait...where the hell is Harry Potter?"
2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming, "YOU.....SHALL....NOT..... PASS!" - After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better."
3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says, "the Ring."
4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.
5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.
6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mis..ter Ander-sonnn."
7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"
8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.
9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep," Monty Python style.
10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"
11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout, "RUN FOREST, RUN!"
12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.
13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"
14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.
15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.
16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.
17 When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for a tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!"
18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.
19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.
20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.
21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man!Charlotte's really let herself go!"
