In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Tron: Legacy starts at 12:01 am on Friday (which most people, including movie theaters, consider Thursday night). Who wants to see it with me at that time at AMC River East (since they sell advance tickets), which has it in 3D (not counting the neglected fourth dimension that is the difference between films and still pictures)? I bought my tickets through MovieTickets.com. I know midnight is a bit late for some of you poor wage slaves, but sometimes you have to live a little, or at least call in sick for a friday. If any of you work in a place of decent technology, just saying "It's frickin' Tron!" should be enough to get the next day off. If you work at a really cool place, your boss will probably come with you. If you're Elliot, your boss is probably reserving the entire theatre. Here's how you can spend the rest of your time that Thursday evening: * take a nap after work. * 7:30pm-ish, snacks, etc and a viewing of the original Tron at my place (sadly, Rogers Park) * 11pm-ish shift closer to theater by going to the Billy Goat for those who want to meet up later * 12:01am: the movie * Billy Goat again to discuss how much the movie sucked compared the the totally awesome original And, remember, if you see it right away, you'll be able to tweet and poke and yelp about how much it sucks as earlier as possible. You'll be 3l33t, etc, and you can spoil it for all your co-workers who had to be responsible and what not. If you are one of those Tron cosplay people, just meet us at the theater. :) -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/ -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/
