We got up super early to go down to the theatre for our triple showing. None of us dressed up, because we decided that sitting in a theatre for 12 hours in costume would not be fun. When we got there we had to wait for the theatre to open, and then we had to wait longer for the movie to start. I got myself a frozen Coke... the theatre normal for me.
I actually (ashamed) slept through a lot of FOTR because I was too dang tired. But, I must say that the Ringwraith screeches are much scarier when you're in a half sleep. I woke up by the time they got to Rivendell and I think I stayed that way for the rest of the movie. I refilled my cup for TTT and stayed awake for that whole movie. Yay Eowyn!
The longest time was between TTT and ROTK. This is when everyone was sitting on pins and needles to see ROTK. We ran down to Burger King because none of us had really eaten. I just had a burger... I didn't really feel like eating (and all of this lack of sleep and eating cause one major illness once I got home, too). I saw Richard (Aragorn) wandering around... he was one of the few who wore his costume to the theatre.
Now, the moment of truth... ROTK! All I remember was lots of gasping, laughing (well, not so much of that), and lots of sniffles and tears. I just must say that it was a beautiful experience getting to view this movie for the first time with such a large group of passionate fans. It was really all of these people who made the journey one to remember. I want to thank everyone who I met here and who helped make this an event of a lifetime. Thank you!
