I don't have any plans (yet) but I'll likely see it with my brother and dad. Some friends of ours talked about seeing it together as well, which would be awesome. Just don't have anything definite yet. I'm sure I'll see it in theaters, though. I have to.

So far, my only plans for seeing the movie are that I will see it in theaters. I'm going to attempt to see it with my wife the same weekend as the Line Party fantasia_kitty is hosting, since we will be unable to attend that party. I'm saving up through a rewards website for a gift card so we can go see it.

I just actually had a thought--when rereading the opening post, I saw the words "costume creation," which got me thinking how cool it would be to dress up for The Hobbit this year. Then I remembered my beautiful red cape stashed away in my closet. Incidentally, this is the same cape I wore when I went to go see Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader. (When I wore it to see VDT, I forgot my coat, so all I had was a paper-thin cape. In December. At night. In frigid winter weather. Oh yeah, fun times, fun times.)

Anyway, I love that old cape and I miss it. It would be great to bring it back.

Yep, stwin, your plan sounds similar to mine: I'm going to see it in theaters. That's all I know.

I hope we can see it in the theater so I don't have to hear my extremely book-purist-wife's commentary.

I am hoping to see it in the cinema very soon after it opens, and to arrange a group booking - maybe we can have a pre- or post- Hobbit meal.

Yeah, for those of you who haven't heard already, I'm hosting a big Line Party in Wichita KS. Provided there are no problems with the weather, I think that we're up to just over 20 NarniaWebbers planning on coming, and a few more who are still thinking about it. It's open to everybody and if you're interested, let me know and I'll shoot you the nitty gritty details.

As far as costumes are concerned, I don't mind wearing them but I'm just not creative or skilled to come up with anything. But I know there will be at least one in attendance, probably more, who will be in costume. Should be fun!

I'll be in Wichita!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!

fk, we could all wear costumes, each being a different character!

If someone wants to provide a costume for me, I will wear it. *glances around for ceppault and his threats of turning up as Gollum* But I will be busy with other things ( ) so I have no interest in adding costume creation to the list.

Agreed. My to-do list is rather full as well! Of course, not in the way yours is...

Well, my sister is planning on getting together a group from our church (probably mainly the crazy college and high school students) to go to a midnight showing. I'm undecided, since I think it's an absolutely insane idea (plus, I'll be driving later that day and because it's Winter's birthday, but she has a final that morning, so she can't stay up and see it), but I might go just to go with the group.

But, I am also planning on going to fk's Line Party. And it sounds like my tentative contingency will be me +5, so... (I should really talk to fk about this )

As for costumes, I'd like to do something, but I really doubt I'll have time. But we had such fun when we went and saw LotR in costumes, so maybe I'll try.

Did someone mention a sumptuous hobbit feast?

I too am planning on attending fantasia's line party in Kansas; hopefully there won't be blizzards like the ones for VDT.

I too hope to turn up in Kansas.

My current plans are to go see the midnight showing with my "little sisters" and friends, and then go promptly to the airport to catch a flight in time to be picked up by some lovely people and then head to FK's place. Next, I plan to sleep for a very long time, or else turn into a zombie.

I plan on doing some sort of costume, but I'm a bit out of ideas, ironically enough. Never thought that would happen.

Sleep on the plane, LA!! You're not going to get any sleep in KS!!!!

Yeah, don't you REMEMBER what it was like last summer? I seem to recall being the party pooper and shushing all the kids up at an ungodly hour of night/morning.

I had planned to attend the Kansas NWeb moot but due to work constraints, I'll be staying home. Hopefully I'll get to the midnight showing; if not I'll be going to the first available showing that I can get to.

Not planning on dressing up, although I may have to change my mind once Hobbit II or III comes around...I heard that Tauriel is a red-headed elf, and it's really hard to pass that up.
