How many of you are going to the midnight showing tonight? I'm so excited and amped up that I can't even concentrate at work today.

Never before have I not been so spoiler free about a Bond movie that I have no idea what could happen. I mean I haven't even listened the score yet (ok, well maybe a few clips). Still, I know that majority of the reviews are calling it the best Bond movie in a long time. Even RT has given it a 92%.

Let's put it this way, if I owned a tux, I would wear it tonight to the premier. Here's to Skyfall gang.

I am not going to the midnight showing I have decided. This is just because I have back to back 8 am and 9 am lectures and I really don't want to be tired for them.

Terrible excuse. You've got at least a solid five hours' sleep in between. Do it.

I'll be there at midnight.


As will I. Distracting myself intensely work work in the meantime.

Excuse me.

When I was a freshman in college I had a 2-hour bio lab at 8 AM that I had trouble waking up for and at times was late too. That was honestly the most effing rude thing I have ever read in my entire life. Apologize to her right now. You'd rather her go see some damn movie over doing well in school? How dare you interfere with her life and her choices. God, sorry if we're terrible Bond fans because we value our education and the money our parents are putting in for us to go to school.

I'm not going either because I'm going home. Wanna come scream at me, too, because you think it's a "terrible excuse" to pass up a movie go home and see my family that I haven't seen in a month? Go ahead, I dare you. I'll punch your damned lights out.

I'll be at a midnight show tonight. Driving to a theater a little further away than normal (as they have a better IMAX screen).

I read Matt's comment as more tongue-in-cheek than an actual command directed at Iceskater. I'm sure he meant no harm.

Thank you for standing up for me Elizabeth :D

and I mean yeah I could do it, but honestly I would be getting back at 3 AM most likely and I need my sleep in order to function.! Besides I am going home this weekend from college and my mom wants me to see it with her, which I will.

Well, excuse me if I value my education over some movie. I wouldn't even do that if SINGIN' IN THE RAIN were in theaters.

Yeah, what's up with that?

Anyway, since my work schedule has changed and I do not have to go to work Fridays, I will be there Tomorrow night.

I'd say you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone on this forum who would have the slightest interest in seeing a midnight showing of SINGIN' IN THE RAIN in the year 2012.

You'd be surprised what people will go see at midnight in the year 2012. Singin' In The Rain is pretty great, actually...

Just came out of the screening. Wow.


I found out ten til midnight that there were midnight wednesday showings in my town as well. Dang...!

Midnight advance showing of SF in Atlanta, best Bond film since CR2006. The faces may have changed because of the different actors, but all the familiar on-screen Bond cast is back!
