Someone has to front lots of money, often before confirmation of who's going can be obtained. Otherwise, no sitting together.

I'm looking at the Arclight website now and the only show it says is sold out is the opening night midnight show. I checked the Friday show at 8:30 in the Dome, and it has a pretty good number of seats still available. If folks were open to going on Friday rather than Thursday, it seems that decent seats could still be acquired. Often it is easier for those farther afield to make Friday events than Thursday anyway, but I shall let those afield speak for themselves.

I have no desire to go to a midnight showing. But I'd love to see it that weekend - I definitely plan to.

A noble idea to be sure.

I'll have to see if I can get a group of Bitter East Coasters together for a group showing. But not the midnight thing.... I think I might be over that for now.

Although I do wish someone would show I II III IV! That I might just go for.

Well, lately the studios have been "wussing out" (from a die-hard perspective) or acting "courteously" from an older fan perspective ... and having the opening show at 10:00 p.m. instead of midnight.

Again, other than the show at the Dome, we don't yet know what theaters will be opening the movie, and what time that first show will be (though I would imagine if an earlier show were scheduled elsewhere, the people who bought the Dome tickets would be pissed ... teehee).

I'd be up for a leisurely Saturday or Sunday showing.

I have a $40 AMC gift card, alas, I will be seeing Indy 4 alone, I'll wager!

Gemini Cricket · 05-05-2008, 01:26 PM

When I bought the Sunday tickets for Iron Man on Saturday, I happened to click on the Indy link and the 22nd seats for that. All of the good seats were taken but I wanted to see it on opening day. The seats we had for Iron Man were "terrible" but even "terrible" is good at the Dome. (Unless you're in the front rows. Yikes.)

I actually liked our seats for IM. I don't like being too close for big films. I want to make sure I see everything. If I'm too close, I get motion sickness.

Front row is actually fantastic at the Dome. Anywhere at the Arclight, the front row is far enough away from the screen that you aren't craning your neck.

When we saw "This Is Cinerama!" at the Dome (in Cinerama, of course), the theatre was not packed, and we got up at various points to different parts of the theatre. We all enjoyed the front row the best, since it had that feeling of "being there" in your peripheral vision. We also saw The Simpsons from the front row at the Dome (and off to the side, no less) and no complaints whatsoever.

I do agree though that it's harder to plan a nite out at the Arclight since someone needs to front the ticket money (and theres like a 10 maximum per transaction thing, I think). On a bright note though, your reward for fronting the money is a LOT of Arclight points. Front the money, get a few free snacks, worth it to me!

I'm leaning towards a leisurely Saturday thing myself, in agreeance with most here. (should have started a poll)

The Arclight thing sounds like a bit of a pain, and having never been there myself, I think it would be up for a vote to see if people think the Arclight experience is worth it. If so, I'd be willing to front money, etc. As long as everyone shows up with the cash!

LSPoorEeyorick · 05-05-2008, 02:19 PM

The other reward from doing Arclight is that we don't have to wait in line to snag seats. I personally adore the Arclight (dome or otherwise) but would go wherever. (Though, maybe not down to Orange County. We have better theaters up here.)
